Don’t Take Offense

It’s not that complicated. I don’t mean the legislative language. Granted there are few, if any, who genuinely understand that. But the concepts and practices of a Government take-over of the American Health Care system is probably pretty well understood by most folks.

Is it that members of Congress think the American people are just plain stupid? I plan not to take offense at the remark of Mark Begich of Alaska. But it gets harder to tolerate being thought an idiot by those who are supposed to represent us at the highest Government levels.

Ricardo Alouso-Zaldivar of AP quoted it this way –  “I think it’s the right way to go because it’s simple and the public can grasp it,” Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska, said Monday, reflecting a general hope that a deal is close.

So if it isn’t “simple,” the public (that’s you and me) can’t “grasp” it? I’ve got news for the Senator. Most people who oppose this unprecedented take over of American life and liberty have a pretty firm “grasp” on what is taking place, and we are not ignorant folks waiting to be filled with more lies from the Congressional elite.

If I sound offended, I apologize. What I wish is that Congress would take their cue from God who gave us absolute clarity and accuracy when He revealed Himself in His Word. Then, on top of that, sent His Spirit (God Himself) to teach us that Truth in its entirety. God wants us to “know Him,” “know the Truth that sets us free,” and to partake of the gifts He provides so that we might “have his very nature.” (see 2 Peter 1:3-4)

I don’t want Congress persons to give me their nature, but I would appreciate a little respect. A dose of truth won’t hurt either.
