Rush Limbaugh Says Chuck Norris is Doing More Journalism than the Mainstream Media - Audio 8/11/09

Here is audio from today of Rush Limbaugh commenting on a column at Townhall.com by actor Chuck Norris called "Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare." Rush points out that Chuck Norris has done more investigation on the ObamaCare bill than anyone else in the mainstream media.

Norris says the following:

Health care reforms are turning into health care revolts. Americans are turning up the heat on congressmen in town hall meetings across the U.S.

While watching these political hot August nights, I decided to research the reasons so many are opposed to Obamacare to separate the facts from the fantasy. What I discovered is that there are indeed dirty little secrets buried deep within the 1,000-plus page health care bill.

Dirty secret No. 1 in Obamacare is about the government's coming into homes and usurping parental rights over child care and development.

It's outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading "home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children." The programs (provided via grants to states) would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.

The bill says that the government agents, "well-trained and competent staff," would "provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains ... modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices," and "skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development."

Are you kidding me?! With whose parental principles and values? Their own? Certain experts'? From what field and theory of childhood development? As if there are one-size-fits-all parenting techniques! Do we really believe they would contextualize and personalize every form of parenting in their education, or would they merely universally indoctrinate with their own?

Are we to assume the state's mediators would understand every parent's social or religious core values on parenting? Or would they teach some secular-progressive and religiously neutered version of parental values and wisdom? And if they were to consult and coach those who expect babies, would they ever decide circumstances to be not beneficial for the children and encourage abortions? . . . . . MORE

Whatever a person thinks of Chuck Norris, Limbaugh is right that the Mainstream Media is not even trying to examine what is in the Democrats' 1,018 page bill. How many reports have you heard on CNN, MSNBC, or the major networks delving into the details of the legislation? Instead, all they do is report on how mean the protesters are who are asking hard questions. Something tells me that if this was any bill being put forward by a Republican president, we would see investigative journalism delving into the minutae of the bill, and talking about how much it would cost. Indeed, "Walker, Texas Ranger" is more of a journalist than the journalists. They ought to be ashamed.
