Sounds like the functional, textbook definition of tyranny

Spot on...the democrats are installing a dictatorship.

I've been warning/stating of the next step I believe Obama's thugs will pull...which is, I believe they will create a Reichstag event. that is, I believe they will destroy some public building, or do a series of smaller violent and destructive acts or even an assassination or attempted assassination and blame it on the Tea Party Patriots. Imagine the reaction of the American electorate if someone took a shot at Obama or some other politician shortly before the Nov elections and then framed the Tea Party for it. And then have Obama pretend to be the brave hero and rally the election for the democrats. It wouldn't be a real attempt on his life, of course, just enough that they could pin and discredit conservatives with.

That's not to say there aren't a few nutcases on the right as well, but I really expect the Obama admin to pull something to discredit conservatives. Just look at the "racial slur" accusations when they were voting on Obamacare and the dems faux reenactment of the civil rights movement. Except that it never happened...they were calling them traitors, not n....ers. There were tons of cameras around but there has been scare little actual effort to support the accusation, it's just accepted as fact, even by "fair and balanced" Fox.

That’s the best rework of the Obama logo I’ve seen yet.

Sebelius: Obamacare Strategy is to Reduce Company Profits

Sebelius wants to punish the successful. I would call her demented because she supports murder of the unborn and the culture of death.

I doubt that she understands Economics 101. Let us continue to reward the unproductive and punish productive members of society. This twisted logic has led to economic collapse 100% of the time it has been tried!

by Erik V. Kuehnelt-Leddihn: The Roots of "Anticapitalism"

"To the advocate of equality, the fact that certain individuals live much better than others seems to be "unbearable". The internal revenue policies which try to "soak the rich" often have their roots in man’s envy."

"No doubt, free enterprise is a harsh system; it demands real men. But socialism, which appeals to envious people craving for security and afraid to decide for themselves, impairs human dignity and crushes man utterly."

Not sure where the monk is coming from, but calling a proposal by Lincoln Chafee a "republican proposal" is even less honest than calling the "Stupak Provision" to restrict government funding of abortion "the democrat position".

Apparently Sebelius and the rest of the Obama administration believe that the pharmaceutical companies have developed all the drugs that will ever be needed, because they sure appear dead set determined to destroy all future research and development.

Kansas Kathy admits to this.

Baucus admits it will raise taxes on the middle class.

Dingell admits it is all about conrolling people.

Must’ve been one hell of a Democrat victory party if they are all still drunk!

They sure do like talking about the “doughnut hole.” All the demos use the phrase. It’s obviously their talking point — pretend you know what you’re talking about.

Was obama’s mama’s “doughnut hole” where obama was conceived? I just had to ask.

Thanks! I'm trying to see how I can "morph" it from the old Nazi symbology into the new American fascist symbology and retain enough of the old to indicate what's being implied (or stated, I'm not above being blunt).

This sound byte and the one from Dingell about controlling the people should be in every GOP ad in every state this fall.

Which will also reduce stock value, diminishing the value of retirement accounts.

Well just damn. And the government was planning to confiscate those.

Yikes! Guess I should add her to the list of kooks from my birthplace, like Kucinich and Sharrod Brown.

Bingo!

I’d also love to see the actual bills side by side. This is a red herring talking point put out by the left. Just like the new racism card they are playing everywhere with no proof. It’s a ‘strategy’ to silence all opposition to the Zero.

If Madame Secretary’s aim is to reduce insurance companies’ profits below a “market” rate of return on invested capital, then the Sebelius project clearly cannot pass constitutional scrutiny. There are years’ worth of SCOTUS precedent to this effect. Richard Epstein has performed and excellent and extremely detailed analysis, which (AFAIK) no leftwing apologists for 0bamacare have dared to try rebutting. See here:

Quick quiz for Madame Secretary:

Assuming a 50% corporate tax rate, how much income tax is remitted to the federal government when there are no corporate profits?
