Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]
Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:27:02 PM PST by 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.

Communism- Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Trotskyism-Maoism- Hoxhaism-Hoxhaism-Titoism ETC

Yes, if a radio host can maintain ratings/profits, he/she is doing something right. I’d listen to Levin over Weiner most days though. FRegards ....

It is elementary to a way of thinking really ...

Liberalism sounds good ...only it is anything but ... liberal ... it is tyrannical, and oppressive. It seeks to turn the poor, uneducated, or the super rich (that know they do not truly deserve to be so wealthy); and thus they are easily deceived by platitudes regarding their true intentions.

Progressives are also opposite what the name suggests. They are anything but making progress, (except to their own agenda, and doctrine) unless a return to enslavement is ones idea of progress.

It is totally presented as a lie. The so called 'smartest people' to ever be in charge are attempting to destroy the greatest and best system man has had. We gradually have crept away from the foundations, day by day, year by year, until now we are far from our Constitution, loss of , balance of powers, illegal changes by activist Judges making law, and many other incursions on our Constitution and freedom, liberty's foundation's.

God help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.

You haven’t been watching and listening to Beck if you don’t think Obama is a progressive fascist.

Of all those I've posted so far (about 20). Maxine's is the one that had me completely outdone, although I knew it would. She got me more angry than even Pelosi. when I began to delve into Commie Blaster, I did it to make the tie-in of members of OUR Congress having the audacity to openly belong to DSA. Boy, did I get an education! Then I decided as opposed to just putting Commie Blaster as a link at the beginning of this thread, I needed to begin the project of profiling EVERY member they listed.

See, we all know they are socialist's & now under the guise of "Progressives", many of us have known this before their names got popular, but, most of us besides, headline grabbers, which fade in our memories, never had one clue how bad it actually is until we began to delve DEEP.

Until this thread I had no idea how many Patriots there are here fighting this fight, thus I made this:

Lotsa hits.

Obama leaves much to be desired in an honest leader, he lies, just to be lying!

Beck does an excellent job!

And like so many alkys...if it ain’t worth over doing, it ain’t worth doing. >:-}

I have to admit that Weiner can be exiting too though. He’s just such a putz.
