And all of this to solve a problem that was as overhyped as The Amazing Spider-Man 2. In July 2009, six months into the Obama era, a Time magazine poll found that while there was widespread consternation with something called the system (i.e., what people were told about others, from news reports), 86% of Americans approved of their own personal health care.
Eighty-six percent! Abraham Lincoln wishes his approval ratings were that high. Were talking about something that Americans liked at least as much as motherhood, the Grand Canyon and summer.
But it had to be completely redesigned, because there just wasnt enough for the Jonathan Grubers and Jonathan Chaits of the world to do.
The reason liberals consistently mislead, or try to mislead, the public on their policies is that they dont pass the common-sense test......"
It’s time to start the pogroms. We may as well just get on with it. The target are liberals of every stripe. After all, they are trying to kill us and are way of life.
The Dems have strategically placed their bought and paid for liberal cronies in most of the major media outlets. They have also hired many family members of these media hacks to work in Dem administration. Fox News, FR, Drudge, and a few other news outlets are the last bastions of hope to keep truth alive. When these fall, there is nothing left to get out the truth except the internet and Obama and his minions are hard at work to control that also.
Any “law” that is designed to deceive is no law at all. RESIST. Do not participate. Do not pay the fine. Just as Prohibition disappeared by massive non-compliance, so too can this pass away.
This is cause for legal recourse, i.e., it is an actionable offense.
A Writ of Mandamus comes to mind, given the senility of the GOP leadership.
Nothing can prevent the deception of people who wish to be deceived.
In the best cons, pulled off by the best con artists, the mark never knows he was conned. This guy is busy bragging that he conned us.
I would like to see everybody associated with the ACA, those who voted for it and those who gave away contracts for software that never worked, to go to prison and make financial restitution from their ill-gotten gains.
You seem upset that I called American voters 'stupid'... right?
Okay, if the American voters are not 'stupid,' then how in hell... did they elect Obama President twice?
See, the proof is always... is in the pudding--
Make full remittance with any future grants or research money allocated for MIT for any projects or programs. Follow it up with indictments for those who committed conspiracy to commit fraud.
Did you say "pudding" ?
One of the chief architects of the Affordable Care Act, known popularly as Obamacare, has on at least three occasions referred to you and me as either stupid or ignorant.
No, not everyone. Only those who believed it and supported it. A lot of us were not fooled, not from the start.
David Horowitz, June 2000: ...........The first truth about leftist missionaries, about believing progressives, is that they are liars. But they are not liars in the ordinary way, which is to say by choice. They are liars by necessityoften without even realizing that they are. Because they also lie to themselves. It is the political lie that gives their cause its life.
Why, for example, if you were one of them, would you tell the truth? If you were serious about your role in humanitys vanguard, if you had the knowledge (which others did not), that you were certain would lead them to a better world, why would you tell them a truth that they could not understand and that would hold them back?
If others could understand your truth, you would not think of yourself as a vanguard. You would no longer inhabit the morally charmed world of an elite, whose members alone can see the light and whose mission is to lead the unenlightened towards it. If everybody could see the promised horizon and knew the path to reach it, the future would already have happened and there would be no need for the vanguard of the saints.
That is both the ethical core and psychological heart of what it means to be a part of the left. That is where the gratification comes from. To see yourself as a social redeemer. To feel anointed. In other words: To be progressive is itself the most satisfying narcissism.
That is why it is of little concern to them that their socialist schemes have run aground, burying millions of human beings in their wake. That is why they dont care that their panaceas have caused more human suffering than all the injustices they have ever challenged. That is why they never learn from their mistakes. That is why the continuance of Them is more important than any truth.
If you were active in the so-called “peace” movement or in the radical wing of the civil rights causes, why would you tell the truth? Why would you tell people that no, you weren’t really a “peace activist,” except in the sense that you were against America’s war. Why would you draw attention to the fact that while you called yourselves “peace activists,” you didn’t oppose the Communists’ war, and were gratified when America’s enemies won?
What you were really against was not war at all, but American “imperialism” and American capitalism. What you truly hated was America’s democracy, which you knew to be a “sham” because it was controlled by money in the end. That’s why you wanted to “Bring the Troops Home,” as your slogan said. Because if America’s troops came home, America would lose and the Communists would win. And the progressive future would be one step closer...........

It might be something to entertain that the "stupid" public may be so busy trying to make a living, pay bills, above all, pay taxes, raise children, take care of elderly......basically make the country work......that they do not have time or inclination to keep up with the prevarications which emanates from Obama and his lying minions. As to whether Roberts is redeemable,.....we will see. He has unzipped his fly and so far we can rightly conclude that he is not 'judicious' but is a political creature....perhaps made by Obama via blackmail (some have asserted). We will see.
Ever since you sent me that link I’ve read and retread that piece. Each time learning something new.
It's hard for me to determine which is worse: a hypnotized fourth estate, or a fourth estate is as stupid as Gruber believes. I think it is the latter.
In discussions with fellow conservatives the subject of the cause of such a liberal press comes up. Many cannot understand how the mainstream press has become so liberal. It has now dawned on me. Maybe they are simply stupid.
I appreciate the candor of Gruber; I thought many American voters were stupid when voting for Obama twice, and six years later feel quite vindicated.
It is still practically illegal to criticize our token negro “president”, but I am sure his popularity is much lower than reported. The Dems have intimidated people enough Stalin-style that nobody is going to be honest with pollsters.
The American People should form a tribunal and put these liars in front of it and mete out justice. This law has destroyed lives.
He’s just another Cambridge located, educated idiot, slut.
That city’s FULL of sh*theads like this doof; another reason I avoid it like the plague.
