Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]

Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

[JustPiper]

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Backhoe found this Regarding SLAUGHTER ...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2128550/posts?page=2560#2560

“Now, as we have constantly reminded our ahistorical liberal friends who have already forgotten all of 2002-2006, the filibuster is constitutional because it is a Senate rule of debate, which is expressly authorized by Article I’s delegation of power to each house of Congress to set its own rules of debate. Apparently, some Democrats can’t seem to tell the difference between a rule of debate and just declaring by rule that the House has passed a bill that they have not, when the Constitution itself expressly states that “in all [] Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays[.]”

Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a terrible master.

Virginia Lawmakers Say "No" To Health Care Reform (First in the Nation) Delegates Say They Want to Send a Strong Message to White House

A wrench in Dems’ Wreckonciliation plans, but… By Michelle Malkin

For the first time, Democrats admit what Americans already know about their health care bill: it would raise premiums, it's a windfall for drug companies and insurance companies, votes were secured through backroom deals, it cuts hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare, and it raises taxes.

Todays topic is the extremes in American history (When GB is at his BEST)

My point about Beck, however, remains. Mere criticism of the left is not enough, and wild rants against “government” are dangerous. To build a conservative movement capable of leading the premier civilization of our time and the world’s only Superpower requires a positive vision of government’s role in national affairs.

Oh YEA!

Thanks caww!

[caww]

This makes me so proud...the people spoke... the states are listening! Now that’s America!!!!!

[caww]

This should be on every thread! It is very exciting...but I’ve not heard anything on the national news yet about this..and it should be a big story!!

I’d like to see more details about this...I know Pa. has something in the works to excempt our state...it began last year but have heard no more about. Also there are other states planning. But to actually see that Virginia did this is absolutely grand.
