We all knew that Chuck Norris could kick, jab, twirl, whirl, and throw his body about with the best of the kung fu ninja martial arts tv stars. (I always thought David Carradine could take him, but I don’t guess we’ll ever know.) What I didn’t know about Chuck is what an artist he is with the truth. Yesterday, in an article he wrote for WorldnetDaily.com, Chuck proved that he can twirl, whirl, twist, contort and skewer the truth as deftly as he can break a board. No doubt about it, Chuck can beat hell out of the truth until it squeals.
In his article entitled “Dirty Secret No. 1 In Obamacare” Chuck confides the following:
“Dirty secret No. 1 in Obamacare is about the government’s coming into homes and usurping parental rights over child care and development.”
He even goes to cite for us the specific place in the proposed health care reform bill (HR 3200) where you can find the frightening provision:
“It’s outlined in sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading “home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children.”
Chuck knows that readers are lazy. Most of them will say, “Wow… Chuck’s got the lowdown on this health care bill. It’s all a sinister plan. The government’s gonna break into our house and take our kids… turn ‘em into zombie drones of the Obama empire. Look here… Chuck’s giving us the chapter and verse! See… it’s right there in the evil bill at sections 440 and 1904.”
Chuck knows that none of his followers are gonna look up the citation. No, no, no… they’re just gonna raise hell about this frightening specter while eating their meat and three at the Squat & Gobble.
Chuck ain’t done yet. He goes on to tell the reader how the government’s going to send trained agents to your house to mess with your kids’ social, emotional and cognitive development. While there, the feds are going to screw with your brain too, just to make sure that you’re properly indoctrinated… hell, brainwashed… in government approved ObamaThink.
Defiantly, Chuck decries:
“Are you kidding me?! With whose parental principles and values? Their own? Certain experts’? From what field and theory of childhood development? As if there are one-size-fits-all parenting techniques! Do we really believe they would contextualize and personalize every form of parenting in their education, or would they merely universally indoctrinate with their own?”
What a jackass! Let’s take a look behind the curtain. Let’s dial up an actual copy of HR 3200 and see what Sections 440 and 1904 really say.
For all who are interested, you can find the full text of HR 3200 at thomas.loc.gov. That’s the sinister Library of Congress website. For now, here’s the part Chuck was talking about:
Section 440: Home Visitation Programs For Families With Young Children and Families Expecting Children:
(a) Purpose- The purpose of this section is to improve the well-being, health, and development of children by enabling the establishment and expansion of high quality programs providing voluntary home visitation for families with young children and families expecting children.
The section provides money for counseling services, requested by parents, to help poor parents learn how to better recognize development problems in their children—you know, real problems like autism, learning disabilities, growth disorders.
The counseling would include information on how to obtain professional health care services to treat these conditions, where to go, who to see and how to pay for treatment. The bill would give money to the states to run these programs for the benefit of everyone, but most especially for the benefit of poor parents. It is poor children who most commonly suffer from childhood development problems.
Please note, the first sentence of the sections says that the home visitation services are “voluntary.” Home visitations must be requested by the parents. Parents must want services, request services, consent to services and approve of them. No federal agents are going to be busting down doors to provide unwanted counseling!
Finally, the bill would require that the states receiving program funds use their grant money to actually help poor people. You know, those below the poverty level and members of American Indian Tribes, the poorest of all Americans.
DO NOT BELIEVE ME! Don’t take my word for it. Read it for yourself. Read it right here: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3200: Just click on the link, then scroll down to Sec. 440 and read it all for yourself. The section isn’t terribly long. Read it.
Now, back to Chuck. Why do you suppose he wrote this crazy stuff? Do you think that maybe he doesn’t know any better? Is he just a dumbass martial arts guy out to make a little noise, maybe run for governor in Minnesota someday? Maybe he didn’t write it at all. Maybe he just stuck his name on somebody else’s work, kinda like cheating in English class. Maybe he’s a paid shill.
I’m thinking there’s a buck in it for somebody.

Is Chuck planning on running for a position on “poly-ticks” anytime soon?
Sounds like Chuck put his name on an email that’s been going around, then laced it with his own gut reaction (“Are you kidding me??”)
The awful truth, Prentice, is that too many Americans LIKE having a bunch of poor sick people in this country to look down on. Suppose the government makes it easier for them to solve their problems. How am I going to look in comparison?
This thing must be nipped in the bud!
