What would Jesus do with greedy health insurance executives?

Jesus turned over the tables of the greedy at the Temple and right wing Christians are following that example in favor of the greedy at town hall meetings to oppose compassion for Americans without health care. The American Center for Law and Justice, a legal advocacy organization that defends only right wing Christian’s rights says that the free speech rights of Americans must not be ignored. They bear false witness as they assert that the White House and some members of Congress intend to intimidate and silence critics of President Obama’s policies – including health care legislation.

“The ability to engage in robust debate is at the center of our constitutional freedoms and is now as important as ever,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. “The issues that matter most to Americans trigger honest and emotional reactions. As the Supreme Court concluded 60 years ago, ‘The vitality of civil and political institutions in our society depends on free discussion.’ Americans must continue to enjoy the freedom to express themselves without fear of retribution or surveillance by the government.”

In a legal analysis being distributed to members of Congress, the ACLJ reminds lawmakers that this nation has a long history of Americans exercising free speech to comment on important social issues of the day.

The ACLJ legal analysis comes just days after they believe the White House initiated a speech-monitoring program urging Americans to ‘flag’ and report to the White House those who oppose President Obama’s health care proposals.

At the same time, Congressional leaders continue to engage in tactics to berate and belittle those who oppose the President’s policies even though it has stifled most free speech in the name of disruption and one ACLJ fellow traveler showed up at President Obama’s health care forum armed. In an opinion editorial in USA Today, House Speaker Pelosi and House Majority Leader Hoyer labeled those who are protesting President Obama's policies as 'un-American.' And Senate Majority Leader Reid has accused those speaking out against health care policies of trying to 'sabotage' the democratic process.

1. Jay Sekulow is a right wing tool.

I have met him in court, unfortunately :eek:

He's a valuable "prize" because he's a Jew that converted to Christianity.

Right wing tool, right wing organization.
