And a perfect appointment it is for you, sir, and perfectly in keeping with your anti-American bias.

Senate Confirms Gun Control Advocate as Surgeon General
by Sarah Mimms
The Senate narrowly confirmed a new surgeon general whose nomination was delayed for months in a fight over his comments alleging that guns are public health issue. The confirmation represents a victory for gun control advocates, even as recent polling has shown Americans moving in the other direction toward gun-rights protections.
The Senate’s 51-43 vote confirming Massachusetts Doctor Vivek Murthy to be the next surgeon general underscores divisions in Congress over gun control and the unwillingness of many members, particularly moderate Democrats, to stand out on the issue.
Another “bite me” from the outgoing Leftist Senate, akin to Feinstein’s release of the so-called Demorat-crafted-only “torture report.” Vivek Murthy is perfectly in keeping, at 37, with Mr Obama’s diminishment of America.
Get prepared for your doctor’s insistence upon questioning you regarding firearms in your household — if it hasn’t yet occurred.
If my doctor deigns to go there, he will be the recipient of a brusque answer he won’t care for — but proffered in as much a dismissive and disrespectful manner as I can possibly submit.
Because it isn’t any of his or her business.

This fist happened to me when I accompanied family to their pediatrician appointment. The nurse came in and went through the usual questions. Then she asks “Do you have any firearms in your house?”. Now this was not MY appointment yet I interrupted with “And just WHY do you have to ask THAT?!” She very smoothly proceeded to say that they just ask to see if there are any hazards in the house. HAZARDS? How about “do you have knives?”, or “do you have a rattle snakel?” or “do you have A CHAIN SAW?”. I couldn’t help myself as there are a PLETHORA of potential hazards from cleaning supplies, to kitchen utensils to non-protected electrical fixtures, fireplaces, on and on. I told her that question was NONE of her business and had NOTHING to do with the exam. How about sticking to health and medication questions?!
Of course, as I suspected, I came home and browsed the web. Aside from the usual loony things, I did find a number of stories about numerous people, even vets who said “yes” to the firearms question, only to have them confiscated later on.
I supposed this is right out of the original “Red Dawn” movie where the invading commanders ordered that the municipal records of all pistol, shotgun and rifle purchases be pulled so they could go after them. Eventually I saw where doctors ARE reporting their data to the government and that it possibly is written into the kazillions of pages of “The Abominable Health Care Act (of treason)”.
As for the picture, I am pretty sure that guy was in the “Indiana Jones Temple of Doom” movie wearing a voodoo mask and reaching into people’s chests and pulling out their still-beating hearts.
Guns? What guns? I don’t believe in guns, violence or civil disobedience..
No, really… I’m a peaceful guy, I have renounced my redneck ways and am embracing the world of Obama, at least for a couple of hours…
I have a doctors appointment today and I’m trying to convince myself that I can tell the gun lie with a straight face.. 😛
Me neither. I don’t have guns; I have tea spoons and butter knives.

What’s a gun? Don’t know what you’re talking about. Next question.
Forks can kill. Beds can kill.
