An Honest Debate
An open letter to President Barack Hussein Obama:
Mr. President,
You have requested that we as a country have an “honest debate” on healthcare. I completely concur, but must admit to some confusion as to what you consider an honest debate to be.
Is this to be an honest debate like the one on race relations that you and your Attorney General Eric Holder called for? That was of course just before Mr. Holder called us a nation of cowards and you immediately jumped to the defense of a black professor, demeaned the actions and abilities of the white police officers who were called to the scene, all the while admitting to not knowing any of the facts. I guess for one of the few times since taking office your immediate reaction was at least an honest look at how your mind works.
Or is this to be an honest debate like the one you have called for on abortion? An honest debate where you have said we should agree to disagree but still strive to find the middle ground between a living baby and one that is killed by means of dismemberment in the mother’s womb. An honest debate in which you have already admitted to changing your words in an effort to hide your true intent while maintaining your same position on the issue.
I hope you can understand my confusion.
The truth is we are already involved in an honest debate. The problem seems to be that you are not pleased with the positions being taken against you and the one trillion dollar government-run nationalized healthcare system you are proposing. It seems more than a little disingenuous for you to call for an honest debate when it is the honesty of the resistance that has you concerned.
The country is aware that you and your administration have requested that copies of e mails presenting opposing views be sent directly to the White House so you can try to stop the negative tide from rising. I have to believe you have seen at least some of the same e mails I have seen, probably even more. Like the ones that detail, line by line, what the current bill HR 3200 would mean to our healthcare choices of doctors and treatments. Like the line items that detail the reductions in care and the limiting of choice in both healthcare and health insurance. If you want an honest debate then take these detailed e mails and disprove them line by line. Address HR 3200 line by line:
