In recent months as we have noted in past blogs and read in the news scandal after scandal in the Obama Administration.
Notably the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had came under extreme scrutiny due to the 'alleged' targeting of those who had opposing views to the Obama Administration.
The social issues are many and range from protecting our Bill Of Rights, guaranteed civil rights, and the U.S. Constitution.
Many Americans have always indicated they were uncomfortable with the government involved in the decision making of their medical care.
They were scoffed at, laughed at, ridiculed by persons in the left wing of the political spectrum. We read and heard them being called paranoid right wingers by various democratic / liberal 'talking heads' on television.
The question is are Americans right to fear the Obama administration or a government controlled health care system?
IF this precedent set by the U.S. Military is any indication then YES, Americans should be afraid, be very very afraid.
Fox News commentator Todd Starnes published this article http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/military-will-not-rescind-reprimand-for-airman-opposed-to-gay-marriage.html regarding a young man and his persecution by military supervisors regarding his use of his right to free speech on a religious opinion issue of whether or not gay marriage is Biblical correct ?
His wife has stage 4 cancer and has been denied medical treatment due to the disciplinary action pending against HIM.
Okay, It is not all that uncommon in recent days to learn that the government is persecuting Americans who's opinions and exercise of free speech is contradictory to that of the Obama Administration, though it is outrageous.
BUT what outraged me even more than the persecution of this man was that the government has denied his dependent wife with stage 4 cancer medical treatment due to the pending disciplinary action against HIM! (yes I am repeating myself).
In a day where people go to jail for the mistreatment of animals, I am outraged, yes OUTRAGED that the U.S. Military or ANY branch of our U.S. Government would deny medical care to anyone - but even more so when the disciplinary action they use as the excuse for denial of care is a disciplinary action because he stated his personal beliefs in regard to gay marriage.
This IS a case of persecution based on religious beliefs.
It is a denial of his right to free speech.
It needs to be brought in to the public forum and those responsible need to be in jailed in my opinion for violating HIS and HER civil rights.
WHY would any disciplinary action or investigation of this man - even IF justified (which it is clearly NOT) affect the medical benefits of his wife - what about continuing care of someone with a pre-existing condition. AS you can probably tell I am outraged and I hope, I pray, that you are too!
IF someone was denying medical care that they had the ability to give to a animal we would send them to jail, they would be fined. The American public would be outraged.
I am asking every person, every where - regardless of your personal views on Gay Marriage - if you believe that each person should be able to decide for themselves what religious views they will follow - IF you believe that America should remain a land were we have the right to verbally express our opinions on religious and social issues - IF you believe it is inhumane to deny medical care to a woman based on her husbands exercise of his civil rights - please ACT.
ACT NOW - Write and Call.
Write your congressional representatives.
Write your senators.
Write your local newspaper editors.
Write the Obama Administration.
Please use all methods at your disposal - social media, telephone, email to bring this woman's refusal of medical care to the attention of the American Public and our U.S. Justice System.
One day, this could be You, or Me.
Thank you.
