James Dobson's family research council has about half a million dues paying members and countless others who listen to and read its various programs and newsletters.

Here's what it's saying about the ACA:
Many historians point to the Stamp Act of 1765 as catalytic to the War for Independence. Passed by the British Parliament, the Act placed a small tax on nearly every kind of document produced in the colonies, including newspapers. It was omnipresent. Protests broke out; colonial legislatures adopted resolutions opposing the Act, and businessmen joined to boycott British goods. It took only until March, 1766, for Parliament to repeal the law, so loud was the protest, coupled with serious pressure from British businessmen.

Obamacare is much farther reaching than the Stamp Act, impacting every American's personal health care from before the cradle to grave; mandating a huge tax: the expenditure of tens of thousands of dollars annually for many families and huge fines on businesses and individuals who refuse to submit; and employing tens of thousands of new IRS agents to exact obedience and levy fines on the American people.

Obamacare is tyranny, heretofore unimagined in the U.S. Advocates laugh off the House vote to repeal, insisting that the law - affirmed by the Congress, the President and the Supreme Court - is a done deal. But they underestimate the power of prayer and the determination of the American people to remain free. Some are willing, for the false security of government-run health care, to help create an over-reaching, overly powerful federal government that will use unlimited federal debt and oppressive tax and enforcement to finance it; others are not! Even if it appears to be flickering, there is still a flame of liberty burning in America. There are still God-fearing American patriots among the American people, who, like Patrick Henry, would rather die than allow it to go out.

Sometimes it's very hard to remember that they are talking about health care.

Health care!
