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

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

I hear you/LOL; and cannot disagree. . .

And for as much as I admire and appreciate Glenn Beck; he makes me furious as well; because and whenever; he refuses to distinguish from the worst between Dems and Repubs. (Personally see NO comparison of equals here and no equal playing field.) Of course, being a Libertarian; no doubt, easy for Glenn to do. . .

That said - and it carries some negative points - Glenn is as good as gold.

It is not surprising that the Chicago Democrat, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, has endorsed Obama. Schakowsky, who endorsed Howard Dean for president in 2004, was honored in 2000 at a dinner sponsored by the Chicago chapter of the DSA.
Her husband, Robert Creamer, emerged from federal prison in November 2006 after serving five months for financial crimes. He pleaded guilty to ripping off financial institutions while running a non-profit group. Before he was convicted but under indictment, Creamer was hired by the Soros-funded Open Society Policy Center to sabotage John Bolton's nomination as Ambassador to the U.N.

News to Peruse

BEIJING (AP) China says it strongly opposes any meeting of President Obama with Dalai Lama.
WASHINGTON (AP) Obama asks lawmakers to follow his lead on reducing 'waste in programs I care about'

"There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." – James Madison, in his speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788.

Keith Ellison, widely hailed as America’s first Muslim congressman, could more accurately be described as CAIR and Hamas’ man in Congress. Congressman Ellison has been a regular presence at CAIR fundraisers and at pro-Hamas rallies in the United States. As a former member of Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam, Ellison has enough anti-semitic and Islamist credentials to satisfy anyone, and had expressed openly anti-semitic beliefs in the past.

Clyburn: 'We've got to spend our way out of this recession'

Despite media reports to the contrary, the "public plan" for government-run health care is alive and well and traveling through the legislative process under a false identity in the giant Senate health bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (H.R. 3590).
The Public Health Plan Reincarnated: New-and Troubling-Powers for OPM

Since this country’s very inception, there has been a steady attack on the individual freedoms as delineated in the Bill of Rights, and of our Constitution as a foundational document. This attack has accelerated in the 20th century, a period during which leftist radicals, greedy bankers, and revolutionary socialists have chipped away at the very core of our Constitution

4th District Cong Luis Gutierrez. The Enemy Within. Endorsed by Greater Chicago Caucus for Feb. 2nd 2010 Illinois Primary.

Pres Bush, and now Pres Obama, have been secretly working to integrate the US and Mexico into a common political and economic unit. “It is unfortunate that Mexico got off to such a bad start,” said Glenn Spencer of the American Patrol Report,” but it is wrong to sacrifice the United States of America to correct problems south of the border.”

Spencer said Mexicans are being besieged by drug volence, murdered and beheaded, which is nothing new for them, but Americans are being betrayed by a government that refuses to protect them.

Under Comprehensive Immigration Reform (4th District Cong Luis Gutierrez' bill w/ 92 sponsors).........to prove they have jobs and were in the country before Congress passed amnesty, illegals are allowed to use stolen ID's, fake green cards, and fraudulent SS numbers without fear of prosecution. Gutierrez's bill will make it much easier for more illegal aliens to break in.

Mexico facilitates the profitable staging area for global illegals to cross the border. Contrary to Obama’s claim that CIR will increase border security, it does just the opposite.........

<> it guts successful enforcement measures,

<>limits raids on illegal immigrants,

<> prohibits use of troops on the border,

<> replaces E-Verify used to ensure employers hire legal American workers,

<> overturns all state and local US laws that crackdown on illegal immigration,

<> abolishes 287 (g) that allow local L/E and federal authorities to apprehend criminal illegals.

=============================================

CREATING DEM VOTING BLOCS On top of the millions of illegals in the US, 1.5 million legal foreign workers come in each year. But this number isn’t high enough for Dem Cong Gutierrez and his co-sponsors. Their Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill includes a provision called “recapture” that will add up all the supposedly “unused” work visas since 1992 and issue them immediately. This is a complete fraud, as all unused work visas are rolled over to the family reunification category the next year. According to the State Department, this will mean 550,000 new foreign workers.

=================================

4th District Cong Luis Gutierrez's Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill will create 100,000 visas from countries that send the most illegal immigrants every year. Mexico is the staging area for Third World and other illegals preparing to violate our borders. Cong Gutierrez's Comprehensive Immigration Reform rewards Mexico b/c they calculatedly promote illegal immigration.
