The Health Care Issue is about Fundamental Freedom -- Rick Santorum is Right!

The following exchange is a very important one that occurred in the second Florida debate on January 26, 2012. It is very illustrative of where the candidates stand on health care and if they can seriously make it an issue in the November election against President Obama. Rick Santorum is the one candidate that has true passion and credibility on this issue.

Points to consider:

1. IT IS AN ISSUE OF FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOM! Rick Santorum is right. Maybe you are not concerned about the implementation of Obamacare. If we do not stop it now, it will be too late when you are in a health situation that makes it a concern.

2. Rick Santorum is serious about stopping the Democrats government takeover of health care aka Obamacare. He has passion on the issue and a history of seeking free market solutions for health care--leaving the health care choices up to the individual, not government.

3. Romney and Gingrich would rather not talk about the issue. Both are flawed when it comes to who controls your health care--you or the government. If they were true Reaganites, they'd be stressing the free market vision that Reagan expressed before our Federal government began embarking on taking over health care in the '60's.



4. Romney is petty and condescending when Santorum shows his passion for stopping the government takeover of health care. Romney tells him he doesn't have to get mad about it. What? Romney makes one of Santorum's points: if Romney or Gingrich are the nominees, the issue of who should control your health care will be punted away. Neither of them have a leg to stand on, and in the case of Romney, he is still in love with his top down government approach in Massachusetts--Romneycare. At least Gingrich has admitted that a government mandate on an individual to purchase insurance is not the right approach.

5. When Santorum presses Romney about the health care system that then Governor Romney instituted in Massachusetts, Romney makes a passing remark that the system in MA would be better if he were still governor. Well, is that not an argument to why we do not want government to have control over our most intimate affairs? Does anyone really want their health care situations being affected by who happens to hold political office? On the Federal level, anyone that is honest about the intent of the Constitution knows that Federal control over health care and any other industry is outside the purview of the Federal governments responsibilities.

6. Rick Santorum is the one candidate in the Republican race that can truly stand toe to toe with Obama and point out the President's flawed vision of a socialist United States. He is right. This issue is to important to let fall to the wayside. The Republican Party needs a nominee that has the conservative credentials to make a stand for fundamental freedom.

I support RICK SANTORUM!

Tim Tebow Meets His Maker

Tim Tebow has "met his maker!" Have you? We enter the Kingdom of God by birth, not by death. To know God, is to have eternal life.  We should be "meeting" our maker everyday and every moment. 

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:3)

The place Jesus went to was the cross. Jesus went to the cross and became the once and for all sacrifice to restore communion between God and man. 

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. (John 17:3)

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. (1 John 4:9)

There were a lot of remarks made before the Steelers - Broncos game in which it was said "Tim Tebow would meet his maker" when he faced the Steelers. The fact is, if we do not meet our maker, Jesus Christ, in this life, we will have no eternal life with Him when our physical bodies die. As far as the game, great job to Tim Tebow and the whole Broncos team. Great job to Demaryius Thomas on making that reception on the first play of overtime and stiff arming his way to a Broncos touchdown.

Where was God in all this? God was rooting for God. God is out looking for God, not football teams. Where his people are yielding themselves to be used by him, he is seen and manifested. His people are throughout this earth--on football teams even--and God is looking for His life to be lived through them.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14 "sons" is not gender specific by the way)

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:18-19)

When Joshua met his maker, in the form of the Captain of the Lord, he found out that God was on God's side. He was hoping the Captain would say he was on Joshua's side.

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? AND HE SAID, NAY; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? (Joshua 5:13-14)
