Chuck Norris: Public health care would have killed Baby Jesus
Source: Raw Story

Movie star and Mike Huckabee booster Chuck Norris has dragged the "War on Christmas" into the health care debate. Norris has penned an article in which he suggests that Jesus Christ would have been among many "great souls" who would have been "erased from history" had a health plan similar to the one proposed by the Democrats existed in the Levant 2,000 years ago.

In a column published at the conservative Human Events blog earlier this week, Norris suggested that if a government-run health care plan had existed in Bethlehem at the time of Jesus' birth, the shame of Mary's "out-of-wedlock" pregnancy would have pushed her into aborting her child. Norris wrote:

Lastly, as we near the eve of another Christmas, I wonder: What would have happened if Mother Mary had been covered by Obamacare? What if that young, poor and uninsured teenage woman had been provided the federal funds (via Obamacare) and facilities (via Planned Parenthood, etc.) to avoid the ridicule, ostracizing, persecution and possible stoning because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy? Imagine all the great souls who could have been erased from history and the influence of mankind if their parents had been as progressive as Washington's wise men and women!

The movie actor famed for his turns in the Missing In Action movies and Walker, Texas Ranger then asked, "Will Obamacare morph into Herodcare for the unborn?"

2. Uh Chuck, you do realize that Jesus was a WANTED child, don't you?
And that the baby daddy was pretty good about paying child support?

50. Let's start with this...
According to the Bible (you know, Chuckles, the inerrant one that you read), the Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her what was going to happen. Similarly an angel appeared to Joseph in a drean and told him to not fear taking Mary as his wife, even though she was expecting a child that was clearly not his.

So if Mary and Joseph, having been visited by God and told they were going to be giving birth to the Messiah said, "Meh, let's go get an abortion," I'm pretty sure that God would have been making a huge mistake in chosing these two Nazarean Trailer Trash, don't you think? But since I'm pretty sure you believe that God is incapable of making mistakes, it pretty much renders your idiotic point moot, now doesn't it?

But son of a bitch, with if Noah had built a submarine?! Now THAT would have been cool!!

When it was a not-for-profit, not now. Mary and Joseph wouldn't have been able
to afford the out-of-pockets expenses AND the premiums.

21. Not only that...
but they also paid to have the Baby Jesus' umbilical hernia surgically repaired too! Of course, that was after claiming for 6 to 8 weeks that the hernia was actually a preexisting condition, but Joseph was unrelenting in appealing the decision to a higher authority.

52. It really gets down to that, doesn't it?
These pseudo-Christians are afraid of their own shadow. That whole "yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death" stuff aside, they see themselves as beset by dangers all around. And they clearly are lacking in faith because they seem to believe that the God they worship is in danger too.

He's Fucking GOD, you morans! You know. Fire. Brimstone. Flood the whole fucking world if you piss me off enough. He doesn't need Chuck Norris to protect him.

15. "to avoid the ridicule .... because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy"
WTF is he talking about? Ah Mary & Joseph went to Bethlehem ..... :rofl:

He doesn't even know the story of Christ's birth?

And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another:
"Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this king which is to come to pass, which the Lord hath made known
unto us." And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

19. Chuckie you big ass. Exactly what government run health care program
now forces women to have an abortion? Medicare? Medicaid? Indian Health? Veteran's Administration? Champus? None that I know of.

But lack of prenatal health care for pregnant women can cause spontaneous abortion or in other words a miscarriage.

38. yeah; a free xmas handout to employees at harrod's department store, in london ...
when they get paper-cuts from wrapping too many gift purchases.
and - as you may well wonder - what's the connection?
well - it makes as much sense as chucky-do's line of reasoning - is the connection.


bruce lee once made up a fake tombstone to classical martial arts:
"... dedicated to the memory of a once fluid man, jammed and distorted by the classical mess ...".
i think, chucklehead - or bruce lee's punching bag, as another poster noted here - just wrote his own epitaph.
but, i am probably mistaken on this.
he'll surely come up with something even better, in very short order. after all, he's a master.

like an "It's a wonderful life" or a "Back to the future" type movie. What was Chuck's last movie? It's been a while, hasn't it, I think this could be his comeback vehicle.

As opposed to Pontius Pilate...

Hell of a Christian you are Chuck
You think so little of God that you believe God's will is weakened by any force of man.

You're a really crappy Christian

While you chew on that, please just go away and be silent for a while.

35. Her main problem sounds more like religious whackjobs
Since they would be the ones subjecting her to "ridicule, ostracizing, persecution and possible stoning because of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy," and they would have been fighting to keep her, as a "young, poor, and uninsured teenage woman" from getting any form of public assistance.
