Obamacare Exemption: None Dare Call It Treason
Breitbart ^ | 08/14/2013 | Charles Hurt

Posted on 08/14/2013 6:14:17 AM PDT by safetysign

WASHINGTON -- Even by the standards of Washington, this is one sick, twisted and deceitful deal. Quite possibly, it is a whole new low, even for the federal government.

Had we innocent, taxpaying citizens not long ago lost our capacity to be outraged by the disgraceful manner in which this place operates, we would already be in all-out political revolt. Against President Obama. Against Democrats in Congress. And, especially, Republicans.

Literally, revolutionary wars have been fought over less.

Partial Government control of the National Medical Economy is Socialism.

There is partial Liberty with Socialism.

Total Government control of the National Medical Economy is Communism.

There is no Liberty with Communism.

Conservatives are dedicated to conserving Liberty.

The RINOs who support whole or partial Government Control of the Medical Economy are either Socialists or Communists.

Conservatives should not donate money to these RINO Socialists or Communists.

All federal employees were exempt from Social Security taxes for the first 45 years of the program. It was President Reagan who changed this and made it apply to everyone.

I’ve been wondering if the members of the LSM are going to be exempt from Obamacare. They all do such a good job of covering for him, it seems logical that they get this bennie for all their “hard” work.

RE :”However, if you are a sainted Congressional staffer earning $100,000 a year and enter the exchanges, guess who picks up the tab for your new insurance plan? That's right, your employer, the federal government, the lowly taxpayer.
In other words, under Obamacare, the only people forced into the exchanges whose insurance will still be paid for by their employer will be members of Congress and their staff.
Not only is this sneaky, self-dealing and cynical, it is a dishonest bait-and-switch. And once again, we lowly taxpayers are the suckers who get stuck with the bill, get chained down by their terrible laws and laughed at all the way to the hospital. “

That's the crazy part. Right now one side of GOP is claiming that Reid will pass a budget defunding O-care and Obama will sign it, the other side of GOP is complaining about Snowden and Russia.(neither going anywhere)

But both (sides of GOP in congress) seem happy with the O-care bribe that Obama care gave them and NOT peep about it from them .

Defund this first then talk about defunding it all.

The hypocrisy of this heinous act should cause a political firestorm, but of course we will hear crickets from the MSM and the low information voters will be told to move along...nothing to see here. We all should be roasting our members of Congress about this cowardly act. I am especially displeased that the GOP is doing nothing and is giving us the Bart Simpson excuse...”I didn’t do it....nobody saw me do it.”

As long as people keep calling something an “exemption” when it isn’t they will continue to look foolish.

To be fair, Obama cannot commit treason against the United States. trea·son /ˈtrēzən/ Noun The crime of betraying one's country, esp. by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government. Perhaps Barack Hussein Obama could commit treason against Kenya, against Indonesia, or against the UK, but his unending efforts to destroy America as a free country don't meet the definition for treason, since this is not in any way his country.

I for one am tired of all the big talk and no (good) results.

Step 1 : make the Dems in (members of) congress suffer under Obama care just like we will. You think they want to argue against that on floor and on TV? Now there is a real goal.

If none of them will argue for that then they sure are not serious about forcing Obama and Reid to cut off all funding for it.

Its just a show. Cruz and Lee dont have the 51 in the Senate and are not tring to round them up either.

The Bill would just be killed by Reid never to be heard from again.

RE :”The Bill would just be killed by Reid never to be heard from again.

My point still stands.

If they cant shame Reid into putting up a bill cutting his own special O care bennies they sure wont force him to take up a bill that defunds NEXT years medicaid expansion to many Americans, in fact to a number of Red states too.

But not a peep out of them on it.(their special gift from Obama on it)

It means that none of them believe they can win, otherwise they wouldn't covet the special treatment.

Reid doesn't have a choice. The CR is required to keep the government going. That has to originate in the House.

If the CR defunds Obamacare and funds everything else, Reid will have to take up the bill, or shut down the government.
