NY Dem Rep. at Town Hall: “Basically, We’re Not Looking to the Constitution. . . . .” - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | February 25, 2012 | Brian

Oh my. Rarely do you get a Democrat to lift the veil enough to say exactly what they are all about. This is one of those moments.

Here is raw video of New York Democrat Rep. Kathy Hochul (NY CD-26) being asked at a Town Hall Meeting yesterday (by Freedom’s Lighthouse reader “Brad!”) where the Constitution allows the Federal Government to require a “private or religious organization to pay for anything for free?”

Incredibly, Hochul’s answer? “Well, basically, we’re not looking to the Constitution on that aspect of it.”

The crowd went wild, clearly shocked that this Democrat would just come out and say what we already know about Obama and those who support him. . . .

Why would they look to the Constitution?

They’ve been ignoring the Constitution for decades - and they keep getting re-elected.

So now we have a president that doesn’t care about the Constitution at all.

And he stands a good chance of being re-elected.

If voters don’t care, why would politicians?

She is too stupid to have any idea of what is going on.

She keeps saying the Catholic Church is exempted.

Even if the catholic were exempted which it isn’t The thing is still Unconstitutional.

If sheis that stupid she doesn’t belong in Congress.

Not that any of us are surprised.

They have become very brazen and open about their radical marxism since Obama took over.

Under the rules set down by Sebelius, only Muslim charities are exempt. Because they serve only Muslims and have a religious purpose.

Basically Christians are slammed because they don’t discriminate.

Notice the narrator...her position is that this problem has already been solved through Obama’s “compromise”...in which insurance companies are to provide the contraceptives...so no church has to abridge their beliefs.

So see...nothing to see here...these crazy people at this meeting must have missed the news...What a bunch of wackjobs.

No one from the other side is interviewed to provide context about the relationship between these health plans and churches. About how there is no such thing as “free” abortion care...the cost is simply spread down to the payer.

Nothin to see here...move on.

Kathy Hochul is democrap who won her seat bcause the New York GOP party ran ANOTHER establisment RINO against her, and refused to listen to the Carl Paladino TEA party supporters who voted for him with an over 75% majority when he ran.

The were pissed at Carl who kicked little Ricky Lazio’s GOP establisment ass all over NY state in the primaries for Republican Governor candidate.

The GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party in NY State.

No, she doesn't look to the US Constitution for anything but I'm sure she's spent a lot of time reading the Canadian and South African documents.

It wouldn’t take too many for the Constitution and the oath to support and defend it, being returned to reigning positions as “the law of the land” in all the minds that mattered.

Unfortunately the patience testing will continue until such time as the people have had enough, which will be far beyond the lamp post and more like 1860. When one studies history, it is patently obvious that those who have overstepped their bounds are not going to give up without a fight.

My understanding is that none of the Obamacare law applies to Muslims because they had an imam who announced right after Obamacare passed that they consider insurance as a whole to be gambling which is against their religion. So Muslims are exempt from everything Obamacare mandates.

I dont know why nobody is fighting Obamacare on the UNconstitutionality of the very fact that “muslims” are exempt and the Gov. is giving special exceptions to one group of people.

This is clearly a winning argument... (equal proetection clause)

Also, the GOV is picking winners and losers as far as a religion goes and endorsing a particlular religion while discriminating against another...
