Forced Vaccinations and Quarantines?

There's been a lot of discussion and debate happening regarding whether or not the government should be allowed to enforce vaccinations and/or quarantines on persons with the H1N1 flu... and other communicable diseases.

Massachusetts Senate just passed a bill,and is waiting on the House to approve it, that would allow the MA government incredible amounts of discretion and authority over their citizens. Anarticle from Free Republic discusses this bill and lists the Constitutional amendments that it violates. I encourage you to read it to see the types of laws our elected representatives are trying to put into place.

The Examiner News has answered the question as to whether it is legal for the U.S. Government to have this authority, and the answer is YES. Their article, which includes excerpts from the National Vaccination Information Center (America's vaccination watchdog) and information from the CDC, is very interesting and informative.

The power has been there for some time, but, in light of the H1N1 flu and our current president, never has the possibility of this type of government control been so imminent. The old adage, Give him an inch and he'll take a mile is seen regularly in the character and decisions of this president.

His predilection for searching the archives for any and every legal power ever bestowed upon the presidency (and then some), and then his loose interpretation and abuse of those powers and our Constitution, makes me wonder if soon, the citizens of the free republic of the United Sates might be living and experiencing life, as we've previously only read about in the pages of political science fiction thrillers.

Is Obama Staging an Education Take-Over Now?

On September 8, 2009, at 12:00 pm (EST), President Obama is once again, creating an historical

'Kodak' moment for us. He will broadcast a live national address to our children, via the internet, while they are in their classrooms.

Do you know what the President will say to your children? Do you know what the teachers are supposed to ask the children before, during and after the presentation, to help President Obama achieve his goal of this address?

If we find out, after the fact, that the President only talked to the kids about doing their best at attending school, studying, test taking... things we parents do every day... that it was not politically driven at all, will we then deem it a harmless program?

I think not.

Since everything this president has touched has collapsed, unravelled or been vigorously and systematically torn apart and ridiculed (by him), it makes me wonder if this seemingly innocent endeavor is truly part of a much more insidious plan.

  • Gradually introducing his use of the internet as a national media choice (aren't we hearing that he is trying to get together a plan to allow him to take over the internet... "for emergency measures" ?).
  • Becoming a familiar, friendly, helpful face and voice to impressionable youth (getting them used to him and his ideas, to help in their future indoctrination into the Civilian Security Force?).
  • Slowly, carefully insinuating himself into the educational system that hosts our children for 7+ hours each day (and hasn't every 'system' that he has touched ended up destroyed when he walked away from it?).
No. If this president has his hand stirring in the pot, I find it suspicious, at best; downright sinister, in its probable actuality.

The 912 Project

I must admit that I like Glenn Beck. I like the down-to-earth way he views America...government...politics. In fact, on so many occasions, I connect with him so strongly that I forget it's politics and feel as if he's laying out and teaching solid biblical principles (which always causes me a moment of shock when he lets loose with a curse word!).

This week, I watched a show that we had taped, in which he introduced The 912 Project.

He talked about how after the tragedy of 9/11, on 9/12, Americans did what Americans do. They didn't have to be told how to act - they followed a core group of principles.

He spoke about how necessary it is to 'gather' with other people to talk about values that are important to us, because people who do not or cannot express their beliefs feel that they are all alone, isolated - and that can be dangerous.

* In reports, doctors are cited, stating that the size of the concerned crowd waiting for a person in an emergency room is the X factor to that patient surviving.
* Isolation studies reported that the people with the greatest risk of dying in the next 9 years are those who do not have a community around them.
* In a top survival manual, survivors were interviewed and agreed that the #1 greatest survival secret is to:
- have faith in God, family and friends

Having a community of like-minded people around us is important.

In the 912 project, Glenn proposes that America has a gathering of friends, family and folk to sit around their kitchen tables to talk about our country, our founding fathers and our beliefs.

Again, I could've been at a Bible study, people!! Doesn't that sound like the way the church in Acts 2 lived , as well as sounding like other places in N.T. where the church was admonished to gather together, to encourage and uplift one another... to speak of good things, to help one another, to remember the faith of the fathers?

Glenn is focusing on 9 principles and 12 values, upon which the American people were founded ~ and upon which Americans should continue to anchor their lives.

THE NINE PRINCIPLES:
1. America is good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

THE 12 VALUES:
1. Honesty
2. Reverence
3. Hope
4. Thrift
5. Humility
6. Charity
7. Sincerity
8. Moderation
9. Hard Work
10. Courage
11. Personal Responsibility
12. Gratitude

Maybe, if we got back to living by the Bible, our country would be in a better shape...hmmm??

Glenn Beck's 912 Project has created such interest that their server cannot handle the traffic and keeps shutting down. If you get an opportunity, though, check out http://www.the912project.com/ to see how you can become a part of this heroic effort to gather America back together, one nation, under God, indivisible.
