Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]
Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:27:02 PM PST by JustPiper

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Communism- Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Trotskyism-Maoism- Hoxhaism-Hoxhaism-Titoism ETC

NEWS FROM THE HOUSE: LEAGUE ADS ARE WORKING

By DICK MORRIS

In the past few days, nineteen House Democrats who previously voted yes have moved closer to voting no according to the latest Republican whip count. Ten of those nineteen are at the receiving end of League of American Voters ads. So the ads are definitely working! Let’s keep piling on!!!

The following are the House members who voted no last year on Obamacare who are reportedly warming to the bill and might be in danger of switching their votes to yes: (an asterisk * denotes those who have moved even more decisively for the bill):

Adler, NJ
Altmire, Pa*
Baird, Wash*
Boucher, Va.
Gordon, Tenn* (is retiring, so more immune to pressure)
Kosmas, Fla
Kratovil, Md
Kucinich, Ohio
Markey, Col
McMahon, NY
Murphy, NY
Nye, Va
Tanner, Tenn (is retiring, so more immune to pressure)

In addition, Eric Massa of New York, who voted no, has resigned from the House losing an additional vote against the bill.

“If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That’s one of the arguments I’ve been hearing,” Stupak (a pro-Life Democrat opposing the bill) says.

Banished! City forbids Bible studies in homes
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=127793
The city of Gilbert, Ariz., has ordered a group of seven adults to stop gathering for Bible studies in a private home because such meetings are forbidden by the city’s zoning codes.

There had been no complaints about the meetings, which had been rotating among members’ homes before the officer wrote the letter and ordered the group to “terminate all religious meetings … regardless of their size, nature or frequency,” because he noticed signs about the meetings.

[The town calls the homes “improperly zoned churches”.]

Yellen is spellin’ inflation ahead [NY Post]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2470152/posts
“The new Obama Fed is going to be very dov ish when it comes to fighting future inflation and defending the value of the dollar. The president has nominated Janet Yellen to be vice chair of the Federal Reserve. Yellen is a distinguished economist — who unfortunately subscribes to the Phillips-curve model that trades off unemployment and inflation.”
