When will this madness stop? Just when you think they cant stick it to you again .they do. How much will we take before its time for another revolution?
I believe one or two or a handful of states will secede from the self-proclaimed "progressive" oligarchy, followed by more in short order. We'll reassert our original Constitution and restore our lost constitutional republic.
These were the same rules applied by the nomenlkatura in the USSR.
Yeah, the “ruling class” live in Washington. The rest of us are the serfs.
Didn’t the Yankess take on the forces of George III to avert this situation?
Note that the Fourteenth Amendment does not prohibit CONGRESS from ignoring the equal protection clause.
Still, there is surely a great deal of hypocrisy attendant to the view that ObamaCare is good enough for the masses--just not good enough for government employees...
One for the Elite - no rules
Another for the Producers - obey us, follow the rules ( they make the rules up as they go) and work or you don't eat
Another for the Takers - vote to keep us in power and be the muscle to intimidate the Producers to stay in their place. In return you get free things, all the drugs, booze and cable TV you want and very few rules.
Welcome to the new Ruling Coalition of Elites and Underclass Obama and the Democrats are manufacturing.
Notice how the Labor Unions Phone calls don't get returned now that Obama has won re election and how Trumpka is re tooling the AFL/CIO to be a Union of Welfare recipients and not workers?
The new dynamic in American Politics is not Liberal vs Conservative or Blue Donkey Vs Red Elephant - it's Makers vs Takers, Producers vs Parasites and Self Reliance and responsibility vs Dependence and irresponsibility
The Democrats used to profess to be for the working guy, but now fewer and fewer of the constituencies of the Democrat Party wants to actually work or has any intention to do anything that looks like real work.
America no longer has the rule of law. Oh. We have plenty of laws, but they’re selectively enforced. I’m not surprised. Our country’s problems are moral ones. Millions upon millions of Americans are in open rebellion against God. What makes anyone think rebels have any respect whatsoever for law? They don’t.
America’s success is largely due to the moral behavior of its citizens. That moral behavior was expressed in laws that were generally followed. Take away the morality and rule of law and we’re living in a third world country.
If you want to get something done in most countries, you pay off the right people and you can do what you want. That’s also why most countries are economic wrecks. Who wants to build a business if someone else is going to come in and use government to steal your profits or regulate you out of existence?
I know who the true rebels are, and they’re running our government.
I will restate my rant:
When I lose my policy, I will not sign up for the exchanges. When they send the fine, I will not pay it. Eventually, they MUST issue a warrant to arrest me for not paying the fines and when they do, I will ignore its command. Eventually, they will have to act to enforce that warrant and then they will knock on my door, when they do I will not answer it. Eventually, they will be forced to kick the door in and when they do they will be met with resistance and they will pay a price.
Of course, I know that I will pay the ultimate price, but they must be willing to shoot me dead in order to mandate their health insurance utopia. It is that way with every one of their desires, but this one is my bright line.
America gets a caste system
Gee, did they not just proclaim that for it to work, everyone had to be on it ?
I think this rule would not survive a supreme court challenge as it clearly circumvents the law. Not to mention exemptions violate equal treatment under the law
They have nothing but scorn for the people who go out and work and pay exorbitant taxes to pay for their rich lifestyle.
The ruling class deserves our scorn.
All federal employees will end up being exempted I guess
@SultanKnish, best description of the woeful history of “A Schizophrenic Elephant” http://sultanknish.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/a-schizophrenic-elephant.html
The Republican Party’s biggest problem is mental illness. The big elephant party is suffering from a severe case of split personality disorder. It’s an old problem that has only gotten worse over the years.
It can be hard to remember sometimes while swimming in the media bubble that depicts the Republican Party as some offshoot of the John Birch Society, the KKK and the Confederacy, that it’s the exact opposite. All of the organizations mentioned got their start opposing the Republican Party....spent generations running on Lincoln, the Civil War and Unionism. It followed the politics of what would much later be described as Eisenhowerism. And those politics were reasonably successful. Big government and big business got along really well. Industries boomed, land was opened up and a big country got bigger and bigger. Not everyone was happy, but not everyone mattered......
Willard on installing ObamaCARE/RomneyCARE:
"Conservatives are such fools.
Their childrens' organs will be ours."
A law must apply to all, or be invalid.
No one has the right to ‘waive’ provisions of a law, or to grant ‘exemptions.’ Doing so is actually selective enforcement, which also renders a law invalid.
Either 0bamacare is a "TAX" as specified by the SCOTUS and everyone is subject to it, or it is not, and therefore unconstitutional.
I am believing that every damn one of us deserve to lose our freedom. We are allowing the Obama administration to violate every right we have. There is no anger or outrage. Sometimes I wonder what we are all waiting for.
In fact, that is a good question. What are we waiting for? What do they have to do to get us riled enough to do something about it?
They are going full bore because they sense that we are not going to do much about anything they do to us. They are going to take your guns. Then it will be too late.
