And 2014 is off to a roaring start. Except ObamaCare. Lots of grumbling out there as the people are finding their free health care ain't so free. And it's not there at all for millions of people who used to be fairly happy with our old system. I think it won't be long until a whole lot of people are going to wake up to the fact that government run health care is not for America. I think now would be a great time to run that repeal bill again. I think it will pick up a few more democrat votes. And if it fails in the senate, run it again in a month or so. Keep trying right up to November. By November, enough people will be fed up with the hard-line communist democrats in the senate to vote in a new Republican majority. Woo hoo!! Go, tea party, go!!
Let's keep those cards and letters coming in folks. We need your support now more than ever. Time to turn this thing around.
No surrender, no retreat!!
ObamaCare is socialist/fascist tyranny and sets the precedent that there are no restrictions whatsoever on what government can force you to do and no constitutionally guaranteed God-given unalienable right that the government cannot violate with impunity. ObamaCare effectively nullifies the Constitution.
We are the resistance. Do not submit to tyranny. Do not meekly sign away your Liberty!!
FUBO!! You want my freedom, come and take it!!

Make it a monthly if you can. We have some very generous FReeper sponsors kicking in an extra ten bucks for every new monthly signed up. We already have 6 new monthly donors this quarter.
Or send in a hundred dollars or more per quarter and join I_be_tc's growing list of 300 Club patriots. I_be_tc sends in $100 per quarter and challenges 300 others to do the same. And we have received 33 donations of $100 or more so far this quarter. If we could get 300 FReepers to send in $100 per quarter, these FReepathons would complete much faster.
Keep freedom alive!!
Thank you all very much!!
God bless.
Breakfast pizza. Definitely devourable. :)

In a system where the Central Government, i.e., the State, collects all the money from those with ability, and redistributes the money to the community, each according to their need, comes damn close to what Karl Marx decreed for his Commune-Style Utopia, to wit:
“FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILTY, TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NEED.”
Currently that system of redistribution creates all of the US Federal Budget Defecit every year: 40 % of all Federal spending is spent on Welfare, and 40 % of Federal Spending is borrowed.
America was founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE, which our Founders called LIBERTY.
During our Civil War, we as a Society, chose to confuse the difference between Freedom and Liberty, and that confusion exists to this day.
Freedom leads to Anarchy if accountability is not imposed. Liberty includes accountability for ones actions or inactions.
Obamacare is a mandatory edict from the Central Government that restricts all of our medical insurance choices, and thus restricts our Liberty.
We choose who we want to represent us, and they choose what freedoms of choice they want to deny us, and thus how much Liberty they choose for us to lose.
Total Freedom of Choice leads to anarchy, whereas Liberty contains the discipline of accountability for ones actions or inactions.
For example, in a system based on total Freedom, I may choose to trip you as I walk past you, knowing that I will not be held accountable for my actions or for any harm that comes to you.
In a system based on Liberty, I know that if I trip you that I will be obligated to apologize, pay for any damages to you, and provide a significant extra compensation to you as an example to others as to why they should not consider harming others.
Each Regulation that our Representatives place on us reduces our Freedom of Choice, and thus our Liberty.
As a Society fails, fewer and fewer people are held accountable for their actions, or lack of actions.
This in turn causes the well-meaning Representatives to pass more and more Regulations that decrease more and more of our Freedom of Choices and thus our Liberty.
In time, the Regulations become more relied upon than Laws, as the sense of accountability all but disappears, as is true today, IMHO.
At some point Anarchy becomes dominant, Regulations cease to maintain order, and the Central Government assumes all control.
_____________________
In summary, in the continuum from total Freedom to Dictatorial Slavery, there is one small sweet spot of civilized behavior, one set of Checks and Balances that was devised by our Founding Fathers. It is unique and precious to all who love Liberty.
That set of Checks and Balances has not been used in this Century by the Representatives that we have elected.
Thus, it is incumbent on we, the people, to hold our dysfunctional Representatives accountable for their lack of action for not using the Checks and balances that we play them to use.
Hence, it has been very easy to take over the Federal Government by a few men and women who oppose Freedom of Choice, acceptability and Liberty, because they knew that the Congressional Republicans would not use their Constitutional Checks and Balances.
“Evil trumps cowardice every time.”
That is the general outline of our fallen US Federal Government today, where one political party was able to impose a mandatory tax over the objection of 85 % of the population, and do it without effective objection in just 11 months.
Apply whatever political system names to what I have described, as they are all degrees of Slavery that History shows will not end well.
