NO FIRST DOG - CHILDREN'S HEALTH INSURANCE FIRST

According to the CDF, “the number of poor children has increased nearly 500,000 to 13.3 million, with 5.8 million of them living in extreme poverty, and nearly 9 million children lack health coverage-with both numbers likely to increase during the recession.”

President Obama must make a following pledge to all Americans –

THE FIRST FAMILY WILL NOT GET A DOG UNTIL ALL CHILDREN IN THE U.S. HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE.

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN SHOULD RETURN BOTH OF HIS TWO NEW DOGS AND MAKE THE SAME PLEDGE.

It’s unsurprisingly sad that most Americans are more interested in “saving” dogs and cats than 9 million children.

In fact, there are over 5 million dog bites in the U.S. each year. 50% are on children - 75% of the time to the face. It’s virtually impossible to find a news report where the dog and its owner are blamed for a child’s mauling or death by a dog. It appears that it’s always the child’s fault even when the child is an infant or even dragged from a bassinet and mauled to death. The owner’s of these dogs don’t even spend a day in jail – it was just an accident they claim.

By succumbing to the rants and tirades of animal “rights” kooks and crackpots, President Obama will be sending a clear and dangerous message to the world that our country is weak and has lost its sense of dignity, civility and respect for human life.

If you’re a Christian and believe in the Bible, you understand that God did not give souls to animals – and for good reason. No, Virginia, there is no “doggie heaven”.

If you believe in the Koran, then you understand that dogs are considered “dirty”. Having a dog in your home violates the teachings of the Koran.

Since most people in the world believe in religion in one form or another, there aren’t any (widely practiced) that teach animals and humans are equals. In contrast, some religions believe that sacrificing animals is pleasing to God.

Raising the status of animals to that of humans is extremely dangerous.

According to an article, “The Implications of N-a-z-i Animal Protection” by Martin G. Hulsey , “The following is a translation of document #186 in Medizin im Nationalsozialismus by Walter Wuttke-Groneberg (Rottenberg: Shwaebische Verlagsgesellschaft) 1982.

The author of the book believes that this article demonstrated how the N-a-z-i party would gain support by appealing to interest groups whose main concern were issues other than national politics. He also believes that the N-a-z-i's regarded these measures as progressive and he juxtaposes this "reform" with the medical research atrocities in concentration camps.

Translator's remarks and literal German words in {}.
‘Vivisection Forbidden in Prussia!
The New Germany leads all civilized nations in the area of animal protection!
The famous national socialist Graf E. Reventkow published in the Reichswart, the official publication of the "union of patriotic Europeans", the lead article "Protection and Rights {Recht} for the Animal". National Socialism, he writes, has for the first time in Germany begun to show Germans the importance of the individual's {italics} duty toward the animal {end italics}. Most Germans have been raised with the attitude that animals are created by God for the use and benefit of man. The church gets this idea from the Jewish tradition. We have met with not a few clerics who defend this position with utmost steadfastness and vigor, yes one could say almost brutally. Usually they defend their position with the unstated intent of deepening and widening the chasm between man who has soul and soulless (how do they know that?) animals...

The friend of animals knows to what inexpressible extent the mutual understanding between man and animal and feelings of togetherness can be developed, and there are many friends of animals in Germany, and also many who cannot accept animal torture out of simple humanitarian reasons. In general however, we still find ourselves in a desert of unfeeling and brutality as well as sadism. There is much to be done and we would first like to address vivisection, for which the words "cultural shame" do not even come close; in fact it must be viewed as a criminal activity.
Graf Reventkow presents a number of examples of beastial vivisection crimes and affirms at the end, with mention of A-d-o-l-p-h H-i-t-l-e-r's sharp anti-vivisectionist positions, our demand that once and for all an end has to be brought to this animal exploitation.

‘We German friends of animals and anti-vivisectionists have placed our hopes upon the Chancellor of the R-eich and his comrades in arms who are, as we know, friends of animals. Our trust has not been betrayed! The New Germany brings proof that it is not only the hearth but bringer of a new, higher, more refined, culture:
Vivisection, a cultural shame in the whole civilized world, against which the Best in all states have fought in vain for decades, will be banned in the New Germany!’…”

As we all sadly know, the N-a-z-i-s were NOT a kinder or gentler nation because of their love of animals.

In reality, this “love of animals” only served to lessen and decimate the intrinsic value of human life while acting as a springboard for the mass murder of millions of people.

Ghandi claimed that you can judge a society by the way it treats its animals. If this is true, Ghandi thought the N-a-z-i-s were nice people!

If you have young children in school, you should be aware that animal “rights” fanatics have infiltrated our classrooms - nationwide. They present themselves as people (vegans) concerned with the unhealthy eating habits of children. In reality, they are pushing an animal “rights” agenda to young and vulnerable children. They also gain entry using the local humane societies and animal welfare groups – brainwashing children that saving dogs and cats makes them better people – much like the N-a-z-i-s did!

Fortunately for the human race, the N-a-z-i-s didn’t have the 35 billion dollar per year pet supply industry helping them push their dangerous, inhumane and illogical animal “rights” agenda. However, today in the U.S. they do! Not to mention the help they get from Hollywood.

This season, the “save a dog or cat from a shelter” campaign is in full swing.
What better way to brainwash children than to force their parents to take them to a movie like “hotel for dogs”.

The news media also plays a key role in this perilous brainwashing scheme.

Everyone should remember the nationwide broadcast of Tom Ridge, Homeland Security, when he revealed the new homeland security warning system. Agreed, not the best system.

However, he had to share a SPLIT SCREEN with a dog being rescued from a frozen river!!!!

Peta is now pushing a campaign to brainwash children (their best bet) that fish are “sea kittens”. Peta’s agenda is simple. They know that many vegans eat fish. If you can convince children that fish are the same a cute, cuddly kittens the children won’t eat them!

A recent survey showed that children are not eating meat not because of health reasons, the main reason is because they feel killing animals for food is another form of animal cruelty. Hmmm, wonder where little children got that idea from????

Keep a close eye on the Super Bowl this year. The pet supply industry is spending a small fortune on advertising during the event. Their goal is, “to save one million cats and dogs” from shelters. Let’s do the math!

The average pet owner spends $1,700 per year on their pet. When an additional 1 million pets are crammed into our already pet over populated communities, this translated into an addition 1.7 billion dollars PER YEAR in revenue for them. If these pets are euthanized, they get NOTHING per year. Pretty good investment!

All of this comes with the blessings of radical, fanatical animal “rights” groups and terrorists. Yes, terrorists!!!

In a CNN story, “FBI, ATF address domestic terrorism”, “Violent animal rights extremists and eco-terrorists now pose one of the most serious terrorism threats to the nation, top federal law enforcement officials say.”

The FBI claims that animal “rights” terrorism has caused more damage to this country than Al-Qaeda!

THE FIRST FAMILY NEEDS TO SEND A CLEAR AND CORRECT MESSAGE TO THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD THAT HUMAN RIGHT TRUMP ANY PERCEIVED ANIMAL “RIGHTS”.  ERGO, NO FIRST DOG.

SAVING DOGS AND CATS FROM SHELTERS ONLY PROLONGS AND EXACERBATES A PROBLEM SOLELY CREATED BY UNFETTERED, UNREGULATED PET LOVERS, HOBBYISTS AND FANCIERS – PET OVER POPULATION IN OUR COMMUNITIES.

THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO PREVENT AND ELIMINATE SHELTER DOGS AND CATS IS TO STOP MAKING THEM.

PRESIDENT OBAMA NEEDS TO IMPOSE A FEDERAL TAX OF $10 PER YEAR, PER PET AND $50 PER YEAR, PER PET TAX ON ALL PETS THAT ARE NOT SPAYED OR NEUTERED.

THIS TAX WOULD GENERATE CLOSE TO 2 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR THAT WOULD BE USED TO PROVIDE HEALTH INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN!

ENSLAVING AND ANIMAL AS A SELF-SERVING PET DOES NOT ALWAYS MAKE YOU A GOOD PERSON!

Children shouldn't come before adults.  Children don't have to fear losing their jobs or have to feel the tremendous pressure of what it's like to have to search for another job in this job market and economic climate.  Childrens' health is not more important than adults' health and as such, should be given no special consideration.

Obama promised his daughters a pet and they'll have one.  

Is this really one of the first things you'd want our President to do?  Go back on a promise - not to the American people - but to his own flesh and blood?  

And -- Nazis?  Are you serious?  Let me guess: you're with PETA, right?  Downvote!

The Bible specifically states that all creatures, ergo all animals, are of God and God resides in them. If you love God, you must love him in all his forms.

"Not by shedding innocent blood, but by living a righteous life shall ye find the peace of God .... Blessed are they who keep this law; for God is manifested in all creatures. All creatures live in God, and God is hid in them..."

But by your logic, if you love God and therefor love all his creations in which he resides, you are a nazi. And because God loves all his creations, he is also a nazi.

Nice logic there.
