Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]

Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

[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

The House will have to vote again?

To the Republic: Thank you.

For boots that walked through brush and briar,

For shoes that marched knee-deep in blood,

For hand-hewn homes and rails,

For the breath of air our freedoms fill,

For the crosses now on foreign hills,

For the souls lying still in the deep,

For the willingness to risk your all,

For the thrill of the Patriot’s call.

You’ve given us a heart of steel,

Afire with knowledge that we’re free.

Though politicians can ply their lies,

The light of liberty still shines in our eyes.

This God-fearing, God-blessed nation

Has led the world in innovation

Because with freedom comes Eureka moments

That by No tyranny will we be o’ertaken.

Obama cannot be the Antichrist because the Antichrist wouldn’t need 2 teleprompters, or have to sleep with a Wookie.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

ROFL! “The Anti-Christ said there are fifty seven states ... Seeking healthcare reform, the Anti-Christ doens’t know a breathalizer from an ‘inhilator’ ... The Anti-Christ spoke about his corpse-men ...”

Wow, if that’s the Anti-Christ, I’m Elvis.

“This has the effect of removing all current legal obstructions to the use of military FORCE against the citizen population afforded by posse commitatus.”

I can see that YOU are not one to mess with and I applaud your passion to fight the evil that existed in your life, including moving, which is never easy.

Skimming through the thread....my hope is that the dems see LOTS of protests when they go on their *break*. Poor things, it must be so hard on them...ruining the country is extremely hard work.

You know why.
