President Obama, Outwardly Respectful But Reprehensibly Radical; Congressman Wilson, Rude But Right
Like the child who said that the Emperor was not wearing any clothes, Congressman Wilson was correct.
God bless The Pray in Jesus Name Project for succinctly showing that Congressman Joe Wilson was right (albeit rude) for shouting that President Obama was lying during his speech to Congress and Pamela Geller for "calling out" Obama on 9/11.
The Pray in Jesus Name Project:
"Congressman shouts 'you lie' during Obama's speech. Was he right?
"Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) issued an apology after his outburst, 'you lie,' toward President Obama during his health care speech to Congress on Wednesday. 'I let my emotions get the best of me,' Wilson said in a statement. 'I extend sincere apologies to the president.' We commend Wilson for his quick humility. But questions remain:
"Did Obama tell lies during the speech? Was Wilson right after all? And why doesn't Obama apologize just as quickly for calling conservatives liars? In their fact-checking, the press confirmed FIVE WHOPPERS told by the President himself:
"OBAMA LIE #1: 'No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions.'
"THE TRUTH: The Capps Amendment to HR 3200 has a Section 4B that reads: 'Abortions for Which Public Funding Is Allowed. -- The services described in this subparagraph are abortions for which the expenditure of Federal funds appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services is permitted.' The Washington Times reported: 'You can't get more explicit than that.' And FactCheck.org exposed Obama's lie too: 'Despite what Obama said, the House bill would allow abortions to be covered by a federal plan and by federally subsidized private plans.' So President Obama lied, plain and simple.
"OBAMA LIE #2: 'I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future. Period.'
"THE TRUTH: The Democrat controlled Congressional Budget Office said Obamacare would add $220 billion to the deficit over 10 years, but will not succeed at shrinking the overall costs of our nation's health care. Republicans claim it's more like $600 billion increased deficit spending. (Confirmed by Associated Press, 9 Sep 09.) Either way, Obama lied.
"OBAMA LIE #3: 'Don't pay attention to those scary stories about how your benefits will be cut... That will never happen on my watch. I will protect Medicare.'
"THE TRUTH: The Washington Post reports Obama proposes 'to squeeze more than $500 billion out of the growth of Medicare over the next decade....[which has] fueled fears that his effort to expand coverage to millions of younger, uninsured Americans will damage elder care. As a result, barely one-third of seniors support a health-care overhaul, several polls found.' (Washington Post, 9 Aug 09) Even the Post admits, Obama lied.
"OBAMA LIE #4: 'If you lose your job or change your job, you will be able to get coverage.'
"THE TRUTH: Whether working or not, rich or poor, you will be ordered to get mandatory government-run health-care coverage, or pay a fine a $3800 fine per family, under the new Senate plan being railroaded through the finance committee by Max Baucus (D-MT). (New York Times, 9 Sep 09). Obama pretends you're 'able' to get coverage, when he knows it's mandatory (with a big tax increase or 'fine' penalty). Obama lied. But the biggest of all...
"OBAMA LIE #5: 'The claim, made not just by radio and cable talk show hosts, but prominent politicians, that we plan to set up panels of bureaucrats with the power to kill off senior citizens, such a charge would be laughable if it weren't so cynical and irresponsible. It is a lie, plain and simple.'
"THE TRUTH: Mandatory 'end of life' counseling in HR 3200 'shall' include counseling every 5 years to the elderly, giving doctors a monetary incentive to persuade you to sign a 'do not resuscitate' (DNR) order to pull the plug on Grandma, just like the Obama administration already pressures all Veterans to sign them. (Confirmed by the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, read extensive details at www.prayinjesusname.org.) And under the British NHS government-run health plan, 'Patients with terminal illnesses are being made to die prematurely under an NHS scheme to help end their lives, leading doctors have warned.' (The Daily Telegraph, 2 Sep 09). Dr. Ewing Cook just admitted intentionally killing patients who signed DNR authorizations during Hurricane Katrina. 'I gave her medicine so I could get rid of her faster…there’s no question I hastened her demise.' Bottom line: Grandma, don't sign Obama's DNR order, even if your doctor gets a bonus check from the President for talking you into that.
"Obama lied at least five times during his speech. Congressman Wilson was right after all."
Ms. Geller:
"Add another Obama insult to injury on 9-11. First, he desecrated the memory of 9-11 with his planned proclamation of his mandatory civilian service on 9-11, which he has designated a 'National Day of Service."' And now 9-11 has yet another title: State Department personnel are supposed to pray with Muslims on the newly declared 'Interfaith Day of Service,' whatever that means on 9-11.
"September 11, which should be a somber day of mourning and reflection (on how the hell we got here), will be a day when Obama -- in a celebratory mode -- makes his big announcement. The whole thing is depraved. And yes, it really is mandatory. The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act - the GIVE Act - calls for a commission to study 'whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed.'
"Meanwhile, an unclassified State Department 'action request' encourages State officials to 'consider organizing an Interfaith Day of Service in their host countries as a way to commemorate the anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001.'"
"Obama means to erase the meaning of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert September 11 into a day of leftist self-congratulation, the advance of government power, and Muslim pandering.
"We don't stop bending over backwards to reach out to and accommodate an ideology that is intent upon destroying us. It's insanity."
Believing that Obama, the most "liberal" United States Senator, would govern as a centrist was insane too, but with the liberal media establishment ignoring the ugly truth that ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief was ready, willing and able to prove, it was ignorance, not insanity, that permitted Obama to win.
Reality: Obama lied to become president and is lying to implement his radical agenda as the candidate of ACORN, SEIU, et al.
Like the child who said that the Emperor was not wearing any clothes, Congressman Wilson was correct.
Michael J. Gaynor has been practicing law in New York since 1973. A former partner at Fulton, Duncombe & Rowe and Gaynor & Bass, he is a solo practitioner admitted to practice in New York state and federal courts and an Association of the Bar of the City of New York member.
Gaynor graduated magna cum laude, with Honors in Social Science, from Hofstra University's New College, and received his J.D. degree from St. John's Law School, where he won the American Jurisprudence Award in Evidence and served as an editor of the Law Review and the St. Thomas More Institute for Legal Research. He wrote on the Pentagon Papers case for the Review and obscenity law for The Catholic Lawyer and edited the Law Review's commentary on significant developments in New York law.
The day after graduating, Gaynor joined the Fulton firm, where he focused on litigation and corporate law. In 1997 Gaynor and Emily Bass formed Gaynor & Bass and then conducted a general legal practice, emphasizing litigation, and represented corporations, individuals and a New York City labor union. Notably, Gaynor & Bass prevailed in the Second Circuit in a seminal copyright infringement case, Tasini v. New York Times, against newspaper and magazine publishers and Lexis-Nexis. The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed, 7 to 2, holding that the copyrights of freelance writers had been infringed when their work was put online without permission or compensation.
Gaynor currently contributes regularly to www.MichNews.com, www.RenewAmerica.com, www.WebCommentary.com, www.PostChronicle.com and www.therealitycheck.org and has contributed to many other websites. He has written extensively on political and religious issues, notably the Terry Schiavo case, the Duke "no rape" case, ACORN and canon law, and appeared as a guest on television and radio. He was acknowledged in Until Proven Innocent, by Stuart Taylor and KC Johnson, and Culture of Corruption, by Michelle Malkin. He appeared on "Your World With Cavuto" to promote an eBay boycott that he initiated and "The World Over With Raymond Arroyo" (EWTN) to discuss the legal implications of the Schiavo case. On October 22, 2008, Gaynor was the first to report that The New York Times had killed an Obama/ACORN expose on which a Times reporter had been working with ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief.
