Microchipping people for Obamacare? [View all]

Last edited Tue Aug 21, 2012, 03:00 PM - Edit history (1)

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?
