Microchipping people for Obamacare?

Yes, some caller on Stephanie Miller, a Christian, said his pastor got up on the pulpit on Sunday and told his congregation to vote against Obama because if he gets to implement the ACA people will be micro-chipped for it. Say what! This is disturbing on so many levels.

It's bad enough that the majority of Americans, who don't study issues very much, are being bombarded with propaganda of this sort from the mainstream media, but they are boldly being told in church whom to vote for. Where do they get all these made up facts? I mean this is ludicrous. Fortunately, this man saw through the lie. He also was sad because he said up until now, he had a tremendous amount of respect for this pastor.

Herein lies the problem. People take at face value information from people they respect without question because they believe that person wouldn't lie to them. I really don't know the solution of stopping the lies and other made up facts from being spewed in venues that people don't believe they would be lied to.

This has to stop but how without stepping on some Constitutional rights?

1. If you believe one fairy tale why not another

5. That's just it, most reasoning people don't believe fairy tales.

However, if someone got up in the pulpit and said that Jesus said Snow White was a real woman, wouldn't many of those people accept it as true and not question it?

2. And the country is fulll of idiots because 50% of the preachers in this country spew such nonsense.

3. The problem is the media won't screen the kooks out anymore

because they are more for ratings and tabloid "infotaiment" than for passing on legitimate information.

[Cleita]

11. Apparently, the churches won't either cause

they are looking for more coin in the collection boxes too.

13. Screen them out? They SEEK them out. n/t

4. That is an old conspiracy theory. It comes from...

a provision in a much earlier version of AFA that sought to regulate the use of RFID chips. It didnt say that they should or had to be used, but if you were going to use one, it provided some regulation for it. Because people started to post conspiracy theories regarding that provision, it was struck from the AFA several versions before the version that was passed.

6. Am I mistaken, or can this church lose it's tax exempt status for this?

[Cleita]

7. It seems like they should, but apparently that provision has no teeth or

they wouldn't be doing this so boldly. They know they can get away with it.

[LeftinOH]

8. His pastor is a lying asshole, but most of the congregation is probably assholes. n/t

9. False

10. I wish Snopes had a cable TV show where they debunk

all the lies in the media, nationally on a daily basis.

12. Only thing worse than an anonymous caller on Stephanie Miller promoting crap like this is ....

... an anonymous poster on DU doing it.

Really sucks.

[Cleita]

14. Stephanie Miller is promoting this?

Really? I don't think so. Neither is this not so anonymous DU poster. Most know whom I am. It's a problem that has gotten this Tea Party crowd into positions of power to begin with and it needs to be discussed and stopped.

[Autumn]

20. Promoting? That sucks. However, a poster listening to a political show and posting what is said

fucking rocks.

[get the red out]

15. That's why Churches need to be taxed

They won't obey any rules and are now simply untaxed Republican PACs.

[Cleita]

16. I agree 100%.

It's going to be a Draconian task. They are very powerful.

[dawg]

25. That's what they want us to say.

Then they can point their fingers at us and scream about how we're trying to "persecute" them.

[get the red out]

26. They are going to say that anyway

It doesn't take much to get them going on that, basically all you have to do is not eat at fucking Chick Fil'A.

[eShirl]

17. oh, that's just to tie Obama to the Anti-Christ

microchip = "mark of the beast" from that acid-trippy last book of the bible, Revelations

[fleur-de-lisa]

18. Stop calling it 'Obamacare' . . .

By repeating the use of the term 'Obamacare' we are perpetuating the myths about it . . . call it by it's proper name, the 'Affordable Care Act', or if you're too lazy to spell it, call it ACA.

[Cleita]

19. I didn't call it that. The caller to SM's show did.

Quite honestly, I don't mind him owning it. Sometimes you just have to take what the righties throw at you and turn it into something positive. Every time I was called a Birkenstock wearing liberal, I owned it. If I had the money for a pair of those sandals I would have bought them and worn them.

[cbdo2007]

21. I heard that Obamacare will draw penises on your face with a sharpie after you pass out

at parties. No really!

[Cleita]

22. And did you hear it in Church?

[spanone]

23. it's already being implemented and the pastor is full of shit.

and the pastor should loose his tax-exempt status for speaking politics from the fucking pulpit

[99Forever]

24. Crap like this is why no church should be tax exempt. n/t
