When was the last time you had the time or opportunity to read a 2,700 page book? This was all part of the design. We need an amendment that limits any Bill passed by Congress to be less than 30 pages.
Reality shows -The opiate of tne people!
But I’ll bet you 99% know that Snooki is pregnant.
And that’s the way it is July 4th, 2012.
No wonder we worry about the fate of our republic....
Now they want to know why people are ill-informed....they don’t want to look in the mirror....just media trying to explain their failure to report, instead they protected as a co-conspirator would, and NOW with it all falling apart they act dumbfounded.
IMO, probably the same group that don’t pay income tax.
“One of the most common mistakes made in political reporting is to assume that average voter is following the daily news cycle as closely as we are.”
One of the most common mistakes on FR is to assume that the average voter even cares; news is gleaned from “The Daily Show” (courtesy of the Comedy Channel), and is 100% accurate with no bias. /s
90% of folks only know about the “free stuff”.
Tremendous opportunity here for the GOP and Romney’s PACs to spend big bucks on dumbed-down ads on the entertainment channels, telling the politically illiterate what Obama is doing to them.
Which is exactly why they made it where the REAL clinchers didn’t start until after Obama was re-elected.
They’ll know soon enough when most find out they can’t get a tax refund again that will PO them more than anything else. If they aren’t paying attention and aren’t ill what else is gonna advise them something terrible has happened? Just because they passed a law saying you have to buy health insurance who all hears and knows this? My bet is not as many as our rulers think
These people don’t want to know the details. All they know is the one they worship would not possibly do something that would hurt them.
This is why we all need to personally go out of our way to wise up as many people as possible.
Whatever. All I know is nows I get free medicine and stuff.
I resent the tone of this article. It implies that I SHOULD have read the two-thousand page monstrosity. AND Roberts’ English-torturing decision. In their entirety.
Dead wrong. That’s not my job.
The Constitution can be read and understood by anyone with a high school education. And that’s as it should be.
But increasingly, our “rulers,” lawyers all, have imposed the esoteric language of lawyers on the body politic. You can’t speak it unless you go to law school and breathe the rarefied D.C. air.
I know exactly what I need to know: This bill puts 1/7 of the American economy under government control, and will usher in rationing.
That cannot be Constitutional, because no words in the easily understandable Constitution permit such government expansion.
This bill destroys the most advanced medical science apparatus the world has ever known.
That can’t be Constitutional, because you cannot read the Constitution as a charter for the government to destroy private industry and go to war against the wishes of the people.
So I know all I need to know about the extraordinary events of the last year vis-a-vis healthcare, Washington Post. And speaking in the jargon of the uninformed prole that I am: Bite. Me.
Some people should not vote.
