Theatrical sideshows at the Obama Townhall meetings

Obamacare - What would the Great Physician say?

In the Obama campaign he was asked what he thought of Jesus Christ. His reply was that when he first heard of Christ he thought that Jesus was a person he would like to know more about. No one can say if he has taken up that quest as yet but here is something he has obviously missed so far.

Americans may be showing a bit of emotion in response to the proposed Health Care bill but they are not the slightest bit impressed with the theatrical sideshows at the Obama Townhall meetings. Michele Malkin who offers a closer look at the meetings has compiled an illustrated guide to the attendees and questions proffered at the Obama meetings on her website entitled ‘The illustrated guide to Obamacare human props.’

Everyone in these meetings exhibits the quality of having been chosen, rehearsed and choreographed. What America do these people come from? Do they come from the same America that the dissenters who were kept outside of the meetings do?

When Republicans were in the majority and conservatism flourished they kept partisanship alive by drawing a circle around themselves large enough to take in the Democrats and liberals. At one of the most recent Obama town hall meetings one of the perfectly orderly attendees stood up to ask the question of whether it would be expedient to just bring in the Health Care package without the Republicans. Now, the circle is being tightened to exclude those who do not agree signaling both the death of partisanship and worse the death of yet more disposable Americans.

Did the Jesus that Barack Obama said he wanted to know more about address this seemingly modern or contemporary issue? Without resorting to the difficult theological explanation of plenary verbal inspiration we can answer with an unequivocal, yes.

When asked about his youth and what standing he would have against the ancient and revered patriarchs such as Abraham, Jesus replied with “.Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.â€
