You had a legal right under the PPACA to keep your health plan simply by asking its provider that it be continued.
The ability to keep its premiums is something I don’t know, but obviously important.
American politics has become toxic. The civil war is being fought at all levels from the street to the floor of the House and Senate. It has infected the courts where you can predict the outcome of a case by knowing the party that appointed the judge. As much as I detest Obama I think that continuing on this path will be destructive to the nation. We can, I believe, win the political fight at the ballot box and then restructure the government so that no one can again do what the Democrats have done. If Obama gets prosecuted and jailed he will become the icon of his side. Better to sideline him and his politics than to make him into a new flashpoint.
Ford pardoned Nixon because prosecuting presidents is bad for the country. It is better to make whatever they did impossible or unlikely under succeeding presidents. That’s not as satisfactory as watching Obama get perp- walked into prison, but it is better in the long run for the Republic.
The difference would be that when the crime families were taken down in the 1980’s, the entire Italian population didn’t rise up, riot and burn down their cities.
Yeah good luck with that.
I generally re, and think the way to handle it is to actually prosecute high-level lieutenants like Holder, Rice, and Lerner, with Obama named as an un-charged co-conspirator.
re = agree
They’d need explicit video or an email of him ordering a treasonous act or murder.
hussein44 is THE most anti-America person ever elected as president.
Twice...which says a lot about the electorate, media, education and culture.
For WHAT?
Remember the do everything by the book memo written two plus weeks after the Jan 5th meeting. Who directed it be written? Who probably edited out word “now”?
For the MOST part; haven't they ALWAYS been?
You forgot your sarcasm tag. Others may assume you are being serious. Cheers!
“Trust me, the Mafia has nothing on Obama.”
Obama’s nothing but a racial antagonist gang leader, which is infinitely smaller than being POTUS. His status as a mainstream VIP is minimal for a former POTUS. He is what he is at a default level. He just happens to be half-black.
80% or more of Washington DC needs to be indicted. I say go for it.
Wayne Root did not kill himself.
Should he have?
“For the MOST part; haven’t they ALWAYS been?”
Yes and no. There are different levels of “toxic.” There’s something that gives you an upset stomach and something that a mere drop of on your skin will kill you instantly. As America approached the first Civil War the toxicity was just short of kill level. During the second world war the Republicans were “the loyal opposition.” (Not toxic at all.) My father was a Democrat in the sixties. You could have had a reasonable conversation with any Democrat then and disagreed and still gone out for a beer afterwards. Everyone had more in common than they had differences of opinion. The Democrats, like my father, were staunchly pro-American. When my Dad told me he was voting for Reagan, I was shocked. I asked why and, blushing, he said, “I didn’t move away from the Democrats but they have moved so far away from me I don’t recognize them anymore.”
The hippie generation was infecting society and the Democratic party like a cancer. Alinsky had moved the Democrats from being reasonable but misinformed to being outright communists. The divisions caused by the alphabet and black identity movements have divided the electorate into tiny self-interest groups. Alinsky’s theory was, it is easier to rule over a public divided than one that sees itself only as “Americans.” He was right.
In the periods of WWI and WWII and probably through the end of the fifties you could almost say that there was only one public opinion. America was great and good for the world. Then, along came Vietnam and plenty of financing of anti-Americans by the KGB and other evil actors and they succeeded in carving up the American public, instituting anti-family, anti-Christian and anti-human values.
I think that for the greatest part of history, American politics was like a lively discussion between people with common interests. Today it is outright war where even having a differing opinion is “violence” worthy of getting you killed by real violence.
......I am reminded of that long-dead French economist,
political observer, etc. who noted that generally, a
nation gets the government that it deserves.....
I always thought Pres. Carter was the worst president
this great nation had to suffer under, but I was wrong...
Odumbo was the VERY worst...and we could find Susan
Rice as Joe “Where the hell am I...” Biden’s running mate....
