Republican Alternative To Obamacare.

[weltschmerz]

GOP lawmaker proposes Obamacare replacement: Rely on Jesus for health care.




Colorado state representative Gordon Klingenschmitt (R) on Thursday said that Americans should turn to God rather than the government for health care.

The former Navy chaplain was commenting on a Fox News poll that showed 58 percent of respondents wanted to repeal Obamacare, reported Right Wing Watch.

“We ought to look to the Lord for our health care,” Klingenschmitt said during his PIJN News program.

Not sure how... because it's exactly "no plan at all"


Not sure though if this thread should be here... or in Politics... or in Religious Discussions.

We'll see how it goes... for now.

It's he closest thing to a plan they currently have- or have had since Obamacare was their plan back in the Clinton days.  At least he is honest about it where they stand.

Isn't he one of the 2014 nutballs that somehow got elected?  I think we will be hearing quite a lot from him.

     Local voters have elected a paranoid delusional to the state Senate, a county commissioner who referenced "normal white Americans" on national TV, and a city councilman whose city-issued computer would eventually be found full of porn

     Klingenschmitt's TV show, Pray in Jesus Name Project, was added to the Southern Poverty Law Center's anti-LGBT hate list in March, after Klingenschmitt called a 6-year-old transgender child a demon. Klingenschmitt also dubbed Sen. Al Franken's Student Non-Discrimination Act the "No Child Left Unmolested" bill and said it is "legislating pedophiles to recruit your kids,"

     More recently, in an email to supporters, Klingenschmitt wrote that "Democrats like Polis," who is gay, "want to bankrupt Christians who refuse to worship and endorse his sodomy. Next he'll join ISIS in beheading Christians, but not just in Syria, right here in America."

I look forward to hearing what he says next- we needed someone to replace Bachmann in the crazy section

This is hilarious, I know someone who lives in that district. I will have to mock them next time I see them.

It is a very military heavy district, in a ridiculously conservative city. So maybe not surprised that if your going to find a loon it would be there.

Whew- just realized he is a state rep- so he's Colorado's problem. Have fun- at least you can buy weed at a store.

Oh, come on.  Looks like Limbaugh.  Makes as much sense.  What's not to like?

How is this paranoid not in an institution? He's a clear and present danger to others. "Got a massive growth in your groin? Pray. Bowel cancer? Pray. Dangerous hypertension? Pray. Need dialysis? Pray.

We don't need no stinking doctors and Obamacare.

Years from now if the Apocalypse doesn't ensue due to reasons such as Obamacare, the Websters Dictionary will have "insanity" defined as follow: " nutcase former navy chaplain that due to ignorance of his electorate got in office in the great state of Colorado" and then it goes on to explain how all were healed throug prayer.
What if I am an atheist? Can I use Obamacare?

'Call on God, but row away from the rocks.'


Hunter S. Thompson

[tallguy]

A terrible storm came into a town and local officials sent out an emergency warning that the riverbanks would soon overflow and flood the nearby homes. They ordered everyone in the town to evacuate immediately.

A faithful Christian man heard the warning and decided to stay, saying to himself, “I will trust God and if I am in danger, then God will send a divine miracle to save me.”

The neighbors came by his house and said to him, “We’re leaving and there is room for you in our car, please come with us!” But the man declined. “I have faith that God will save me.”

As the man stood on his porch watching the water rise up the steps, a man in a canoe paddled by and called to him, “Hurry and come into my canoe, the waters are rising quickly!” But the man again said, “No thanks, God will save me.”

The floodwaters rose higher pouring water into his living room and the man had to retreat to the second floor. A police motorboat came by and saw him at the window. “We will come up and rescue you!” they shouted. But the man refused, waving them off saying, “Use your time to save someone else! I have faith that God will save me!”

The flood waters rose higher and higher and the man had to climb up to his rooftop.

A helicopter spotted him and dropped a rope ladder. A rescue officer came down the ladder and pleaded with the man, "Grab my hand and I will pull you up!" But the man STILL refused, folding his arms tightly to his body. “No thank you! God will save me!”

Shortly after, the house broke up and the floodwaters swept the man away and he drowned.

When in Heaven, the man stood before God and asked, “I put all of my faith in You. Why didn’t You come and save me?”

And God said, “Son, I sent you a warning. I sent you a car. I sent you a canoe. I sent you a motorboat. I sent you a helicopter. What more were you looking for?”

MAZZINI.
Perhaps so. Though I was brought up not to believe in anything, I often feel that there is a great deal to be said for the theory of an over-ruling Providence, after all.

LADY UTTERWORD.
Providence! I meant Hastings.

MAZZINI.
Oh, I beg your pardon, Lady Utterword.

CAPTAIN SHOTOVER.
Every drunken skipper trusts to Providence. But one of the ways of Providence with drunken skippers is to run them on the rocks.

MAZZINI.
Very true, no doubt, at sea. But in politics, I assure you, they only run into jellyfish. Nothing happens.

CAPTAIN SHOTOVER.
At sea nothing happens to the sea. Nothing happens to the sky. The sun comes up from the east and goes down to the west. The moon grows from a sickle to an arc lamp, and comes later and later until she is lost in the light as other things are lost in the darkness. After the typhoon, the flying-fish glitter in the sunshine like birds. It's amazing how they get along, all things considered. Nothing happens, except something not worth mentioning.

ELLIE.
What is that, O Captain, O my captain?

CAPTAIN SHOTOVER
[savagely]. Nothing but the smash of the drunken skipper's ship on the rocks, the splintering of her rotten timbers, the tearing of her rusty plates, the drowning of the crew like rats in a trap.

ELLIE.
Moral: don't take rum.

CAPTAIN SHOTOVER
[vehemently]. That is a lie, child. Let a man drink ten barrels of rum a day, he is not a drunken skipper until he is a drifting skipper. Whilst he can lay his course and stand on his bridge and steer it, he is no drunkard. It is the man who lies drinking in his bunk and trusts to Providence that I call the drunken skipper, though he drank nothing but the waters of the River Jordan.
