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

When I see a project of some significance, I immediately think of you. You were groundbreaking on Clinton, the Downside Legacy & one of the reasons when I lurked years ago, that I hung around

[JustPiper]

We are so fortunate the Tea Party was born. Our collective voices were never being heard, haven’t been in years! I hate to think where we would be now without all the voices coming together where we could no longer be ignored

[JustPiper]

I posted the link to his YouTube of what I consider the best guide to this administration. Been pushing it since it was revealed. I look forward to the next installment of The Revolutionary Holocaust. He is getting uber criticsm, especially from hacks like Paul Watson & Alex Jones. The way the left criticizes him, well it proves he is becoming a major person to be reckoned with! Shoot, his show is #2 in the time slot, just behind the female who put BO in office

[JustPiper]

I SO appreciate you posting this here Tiger, keep it coming, I want this thread to go on & on, so it can be found to be the place to go, as FR is for everything! Wonderful compilation my friend!

[JustPiper]

They are still stealthily (not) moving on it! IMO I can envision a total revolution if they even try, The People eyes are opened now to their snakiness & will not have it! The first rule in SocialISM is taking over the healthcare system.
************************
A historical term it has a more precise meaning of an economic system with state ownership or control of the all the major means of production and distribution of goods and services[1]. The central goal is to establish a “worker’s paradise”-an ideal state with perfect equality.

In practice the socialist government owns the banks, railroads, farmlands, factories, and stores, and is the only employer.

The Salahi’s went before a Congressional committee and took the Fifth. What a wasted exercise. Was that charade for our benefit, I wonder?

They were photographed at this dinner with the Obamas. They certainly looked like they all knew one another.

Rep. Pete King wants to know what the White House is hiding.

I think he should do a little research on his own.

Rep. Pete King wants to know what the White House is hiding

They are a joke! You are correct, King has aides, there is the internet, he could easily find out! Took me 5 minutes.

BTW save that slideshow, I’m going to remove it due to the bandwith

[freekitty]

I agree. I hear the Dems are working this angle that they are driving a wedge between the GOP moderates and the Tea Party. The only problem is there are no GOP moderates and the Tea Party includes all types of people who want what is right for the people and the country.

So let them fight their delusions. LOL

[blackie]

I know what you mean, I like watching the recordings of Beck, fast forwarding through the commercials, is fun...some of Alex Jones is fair reading, but you have to pick and choose...I don’t have much use for Truthers who say we destroyed the Twin Towers, etc...that is a real stretch.

I do believe that Obama and his clan of brain dread worshippers are out to take this country down!

Hang in there Soul Mate and Be Ever Vigilant!

[JustPiper]

Watching now & on daily thread. This really pissed me off:

Too Dumb to Thrive
Posted by Joe Klein

Absolutely amazing poll results from CNN today about the $787 stimulus package: nearly three out of four Americans think the money has been wasted. On second thought, they may be right: it’s been wasted on them.

Dear Soulmate,

I am SO fed up with these Socialists

~Love your commentaries

This steamed me when we heard it awhile ago

Today's Relevant finds

But of greater significance is Bloom's statement that "...the free market is nonsense" and "we kinda agree with Mao that political power comes from the barrel of a gun..."

Think about it...
-- the free market is nonsense
and he agrees with Mao

-- that political power comes from the barrel of a gun.

Social engineering is a discipline in the social sciences that refers to efforts to influence popular attitudes, social behaviors, and resource management on a large scale.

Me too. I cannot stand the condescending attitude the left shows towards the entire country. It seriously pi$$es me off. On a side note, I read the article with Hillary Clinton’s voice in my head and was really ticked off. Everytime she speaks, I can hear it in her voice how stupid she thinks we are.

[JustPiper]

I look forward to your contributions & wit on this thread GB :)

[GlennBeck08]

Don’t forget the 08, I don’t want to be confused with the real Glenn Beck. I just figured he shoulda ran for POTUS in 2008. :)

This particular coalition consists of social organizations that work hand-in-hand with other coalitions such as BIONET, CITNET, ECONET, PEACENET, the Climate Action Network (CAN), and others. All are connected through IGC-APC (Institute for Global Communications, and the Association of Progressive Communications). Virtually all of these organizations, including the Democratic Socialists of America, have web sites hosted by IGC-APC.

The policy gains that have been made in recent years on both the international and domestic fronts are largely the result of the communications capability of these organizations. Freedom.org was conceived more than five years ago to provide similar communications capability to organizations that are not socialists. The Property Rights Congress will be pioneering that new capability. Non-socialist organizations are far behind, and have much catching-up to do.

I watched it twice. He spoke in such a way that even a caveman could understand it.

Guess that’s why his words are lost on the democrats...
