Rand Paul takes aim at Obama’s anti-gun surgeon general nominee

February 27, 2014 by Janeen Capizola 24 Comments

U.S. Senator and ophthalmologist Dr. Rand Paul has taken aim at, and placed a hold on, President Obama’s nominee for surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy – a 36-year-old man who has been a visible leftist political advocate and outspoken critic of Americans’ right to bear arms.
On Wednesday, Paul wrote Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to express his objection to making Murthy “the Nation’s Doctor,” saying, “Historically, the Surgeon General of the United States has been a position with the purpose of educating Americans so that they may lead healthier lives, rather than advancing a political agenda.”
“Dr. Murthy has disqualified himself from being Surgeon General because of his intent to use that position to launch an attack on Americans’ right to own a firearm under the guise of a public health and safety campaign,” Paul wrote.

Last year, Murthy tweeted the following:


Paul’s letter to Reid addressed Murthy’s political activism and read, in part:

I have serious concerns about Dr. Murthy’s ability to impartially serve as “the Nation’s Doctor”. The majority of Dr. Murthy’s non-clinical experience is in political advocacy. As you know, Dr. Murthy is the co-founder of Doctors for America, born out of the campaign organization Doctors for Obama, and it is a project of the left-leaning think tank Center for American Progress and has worked closely with Organizing for America, President Obama’s political organization. I have outstanding questions about who is funding these organizations, and it is clear that more transparency is needed from a group whose influence frequently impacts appointments in the Obama Administration.
The primary policy goals of Dr. Murthy’s organization have been focused on advancing stricter gun control laws and promoting the Affordable Care Act. In his efforts to curtail Second Amendment rights, Dr. Murthy has continually referred to guns as a public health issue on par with heart disease and has diminished the role of mental health in gun violence. As a physician, I am deeply concerned that he has advocated that doctors use their position of trust to ask patients, including minors, details about gun ownership in the home. His organization has also advocated that physicians collect and report data on gun ownership to the Federal Government and increasing Federal funding for gun control research.

Fox News contributor, Dr. Manny Alvarez, went even further than Paul in questioning Murthy’s qualifications to be “America’s Doctor.”
Alvarez slammed Obama’s nominee, writing for Fox News on Wednesday, “In my opinion, [Murthy] would not even qualify to run a department at an academic medical center at this point in his career.”

At the ripe old age of 36, Murthy would not even come close to being picked to run any medical department, in any academic medical center in this country. This is not because he is a bad doctor, but simply because he has not contributed enough, published enough or healed enough to qualify him to be a medical leader.
To me, health care should be 80 percent science and 20 percent politics – not the other way around. I hope that the president reconsiders this nomination and instead chooses a doctor who better personifies the greatness of America’s medical and scientific achievements.

Rand Paul Pledges Filibuster Over Surgeon General Nominee

Tuesday, March 11, 2014 by: Neil W. McCabe


Kentucky's junior senator vowed to fight President Barack Obama's nominee for Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, the president of the Doctor for Obama, now called Doctors for America in an interview with Sean Hannity on the "Hannity" program on Fox News.

Republican Sen. Randall H. "Rand" Paul told Hannity, Murthy was a political activist, whose public statements and tweets leave no doubt that the office will become an political arm of the White House-especially in president's war on gun rights.

Paul said he and other Senate conservatives asked Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to withdrawn the nomination.

Obama’s Surgeon General Pick: Guns are a Public Health Issue - Murthy's organization calls for doctors to interrogate patients about guns in the home.

They're trying to have Obamacare serve as a backdoor regulation for gun restrictions because it will fall under the rubric of 'public health.' Like crime statistics and the reduction thereof of crimes because it besets the human condition. It's a tortured interpretation but they're trying everything conceivable.

Dictatorship is a public health hazard also.

Well Damn... lets just get it over with and Hire a Crack Head to be the Surgeon General

The Surgeon General can have Peanut Butter and Crack Samitchs every morning and maybe then LEAVE AMERICANS ALONE
