House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has announced that she intends to push for national childcare reform, supposedly modeled after Obamacare but is starting to sound more like it is being modeled after fascist youth cadre.

Pelosi started by recounting her own experience saying,
“‘I could never get a babysitter — have five kids in six years and no one wants to come to your house. … And everywhere I go, women say the same thing’ about how hard it is to find the kind of reliable care that would make their family lives calmer and work lives more productive.”
Who in their right mind would want to babysit for Pelosi?
One political pundit summarized her proposed ObamaChildcare as:
- “A childcare mandate requiring all parents to buy childcare for their children and enter the workplace
- “A national electronic database of all parents and their parenting habits, ostensibly to determine and enforce the use of “best practices” for raising children
- “Forcing all private-sector child care professionals out of business, creating a single-caregiver government monopoly subjecting impressionable young children to government indoctrination in everything from climate change to illegal immigration and abortion.”
The government and social do-gooders have already made it difficult for a parent to discipline their children according to biblical guidelines. Parents have had their children taken from them for spanking and less. Now Pelosi wants the government to dictate how you raise your children, what you teach them, and most importantly, who will teach them.
ObamaChildcare sounds eerily like Hitler Youth, with the only difference being the age. Pelosi’s program will start soon after birth and continue to up school age. Once reaching school age, most kids end up in the government brainwashing program known as the public school system. From there, they move on to colleges and universities which are a haven for radical liberals and political Marxists. By the time they leave college, we will have a whole generation of programmed Obama clones moving into the workplace and government.
If anyone out there values family and their children, they need to wake up and smell the manure that Pelosi and her coven are about to spread across the American people to grow a crop of mind-controlled robots.
Last month, Pelosi also took a mean swipe at the Catholic Church.
Pelosi bashed Catholics for their pro-life position when she has promoted abortion in defiance of Catholic Church teaching at every turn.
The former House Speaker is upset that the nation’s Catholic bishops are protesting a potential Obama administration decision forcing insurance companies to cover birth control, contraception and drugs that could cause abortions. They say certain religious groups may not be exempt from providing the insurance, which would violate their moral and religious views.
Pelosi says the position is akin to having hospitals “say to a woman, ‘I’m sorry you could die’ if you don’t get an abortion,” she told the Washington Post.
“Those who dispute that characterization “may not like the language,’’ she said, “but the truth is what I said. I’m a devout Catholic- yeah, and I honor my faith and love it – yeah . . . but they have this conscience thing” that the Post said Pelosi “insists put women at physical risk, although Catholic providers strongly disagree.”
Pelosi also defended controversial remarks she made about a bill to prevent Obamacare from funding abortions, where she claimed Republicans “want women to die on the floor.”
“For a moment, I want to get back to what was asked about the issue on the floor today that Mr. Hoyer address,” Pelosi said. “He made a point and I want to emphasize it. Under this bill, when the Republicans vote for this bill today, they will be voting to say that women can die on the floor and health care providers do not have to intervene if this bill is passed. It’s just appalling.”
She told the Post in a new interview, that she doesn’t think the assessment went too far. “They would” let women die on the floor, she said. “They would! Again, whatever their intention is, this is the effect.”
Pelosi is bastardizing a portion of the bill that reinstates conscience protections for pro-life medical workers who don’t want to be involved in abortions.
The Protect Life Act makes it clear that no funds authorized or appropriated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), including tax credits and cost-sharing reductions, may be used to pay for abortion or abortion coverage. It specifies that individual people or state or local governments must purchase a separate elective abortion rider or insurance coverage that includes elective abortion but only as long as that is done with private funds and not monies authorized by Obamacare.
The bill also specifies that insurance issuers may offer health plans that include elective abortion and may offer separate elective abortion riders, so long as they ensure PPACA funds are not used for premiums or administrative costs. The bill also clarifies that issuers who offer elective abortion coverage must also offer a qualified health benefits plan that is identical except that it does not cover elective abortion.
The pro-life measure also ensures that state laws “protecting conscience rights, restricting or prohibiting abortion or coverage or funding of abortion, or establishing procedural requirements on abortion” are not abrogated by Obamacare. It also makes it so any state or local governments receiving funding under Obamacare may not subject any health care entity to discrimination or require any health plan to subject any entity to discrimination on the basis that it refuses to undergo abortion training, refuses to require abortion training, refuses to perform or pay for abortions, or refuses to provide abortion referrals
Once again, the Democratic Party sides with a vocal minority over the wishes of a majority of Americans.
Not from a position of moral superiority, but for the VOTES.
The Democrats will do and support anything and virtually anyone in order to be re-elected to political office. Do you want to see the Democrats retake the House of Representatives with Pelosi at their head?
November 2012 cannot come soon enough.
