After having witnessed his townhall pwnage, it came as no surprise to me that he aced the interview:

Chuck Norris zeros in on the part of the health care bill that deals with government intrusion in child rearing.
Dirty Secret No. 1 in Obamacare
Dirty secret No. 1 in Obamacare is about the government’s coming into homes and usurping parental rights over child care and development.
It’s outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading “home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children.” The programs (provided via grants to states) would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.
The bill says that the government agents, “well-trained and competent staff,” would “provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains … modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices,” and “skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development.”
Are you kidding me?! With whose parental principles and values? Their own? Certain experts’? From what field and theory of childhood development? As if there are one-size-fits-all parenting techniques! Do we really believe they would contextualize and personalize every form of parenting in their education, or would they merely universally indoctrinate with their own?
As Hedrick would say, “STAY AWAY FROM OUR CHILDREN!”

Thank you for your honesty and the chance to tell the congressman what a great many of us in American would like to say. You are right on every point and it’s time for all of us to let the congress men and women realize we want to remind them that they work for us. Thank you for your service, as a Marine, and may God bless and protect you. You are a true American and admired for you courage.

Dave, I cannot thank you enough. You said what many of us wished to have the opportunity to say without being hung up on. The Liberty movement needs men to stand up and say “ENOUGH”. I’m glad you rose to the occasion and spoke with conviction. You were spot on, our Constitution is hanging by a thread, being shredded by the right and the left. It doesn’t matter which “ISM” they subscribe to, we are teetering on the edge. Though I have never served, when it comes to our country and our Constitution, we are all Marines.
Semper Fi my friend.
Have you heard of the “Oath Keepers”?

As a disabled veteran, is David part of the VA?

“Brown Shirt” progams:
Medicade
Social Security Disability
Social Security Retirement
Unempolyment Compensation
Medicare
Lifetime VA Benefits
I’m one of those few people left in this country who go to a job every day and don’t use any of these programs. We are forgotten during all of this noise because we are busy working. Please understand that we too would like a piece of your “brown shirt” pie since we are paying for it.

Right, someone is going to go door to door checking if you’re potty training your children…do you really believe that??? it’s amazing how anyone can become a pundit nowadays.
I definitely agree with Greg, if this douche doesn’t like government run programs let’s begin with taking his monthly disability checks and post office rights. Moreover, he is no longer allowed to drive on public highways, walk on sidewalks, call 911, or use any other public good.

I have never heard a liberal make that point, before….and it’s such a brilliant one!
Because being for limited government, *of course* means we should be against everything the government spends money on domestically.
I think I can see the light now…thank you so much for pointing that out to me, because, again…it. is. such a well thought out, and original point to make!
