In the crazy world of lefties, making a contract to kill an unborn (or for Obama, new-born) baby is part of the right to privacy that’s somewhere in the Constitution, but having every detail of your medical history in a centralized government database that you must participate in is not covered by this right to privacy.
Rush is right. These people are complete idiots.
Many of us have been saying that even before the bill was passed. He just proved that he doesn’t listen at all to conservative arguments.
They speak only amongst themselves and have no idea what the real world is like. They see themselves as the smartest people in the room, which is very easy to do, since they are the only people in the room................
“The problem for the left is that they do not have a lot of interaction with conservatives, whose intellects are often disparaged”
Chrissy mathews has the intellect of a flea and no amount of interaction with conservatives would be likely to change that.
I’m pretty suprised to find out that Mr. Matthews is capable of “learning”.
I would be pretty surprised to find out chris had half a brain in his head.
That’s right Chris. If you poked your head out of Obama’s zipper once in awhile and took a look around, you might learn some things.
If they uphold the mandate, I don’t really see much point on posting on political sites any more. That war will be lost. The mandate is a clear cut case of an attempt at totalitarian control of the people. If it succeeds, we’re done. All that is left to do is get a fiddle, to give yourself something to do while Rome burns.
And burn it will. History is clear.
The silly thing...if they had just flipped the order......ie instead of ordering you to buy it or you get a fine....they tax you first (the fine part) then give you a deduction if you buy....it would fly...it would still suck but it would fly
Chrissy: “I’m pretty surprised to find out that I’m a moron. I had no idea my IQ was below 70. Apparently I’m barely able to function according to the doctors! Boy, was I surprised!” (Drool, drool!)
I still do not understand why Obama accelerated this to the SC before the election rather than stall until after the election. A decision striking down Obamacare will only hurt his reelection efforts as well as those of Congressional Dems. I do not care how the Dems try to spin it as inconsequential, It will be a major blow. I guess Obama’s arrogance that he would prevail is in line with Chris Matthews
I’m not certain about that: it would still be a capitation tax.
The cultural/political divide in this country is as great as it was just before the Civil War.
Pauline Kael...movie critic for the NEW YORKER famously said after the Nixon landslide in 1972...”I don’t understand it, I don’t know a single person who voted for him”.
These people just don’t get it. They see the Constitution as something to get around...to allow their projects to become “law”.
They consider our point of view as illegitimate. It can’t even be discussed, except briefly, to be dismissed.
Thank God for the SCOTUS.
I'm with you - it seems 'liberalism' is all attitude and 'fashion' - there isn't any deep thought involved... they're complete idiots.
Most dems are well aware of how blatantly unconstitutional this legislation is. The are just putting on this shocked act so they can pretent this is some type of abnormal, extremist ruling if Obamacare goes down in flames. Obama want to run against the Supreme Court.
"The construction applied... to those parts of the Constitution of the United States which delegate to Congress a power "to lay and collect taxes, duties, imports, and excises, to pay the debts, and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States," and "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the powers vested by the Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof," goes to the destruction of all limits prescribed to [the General Government's] power by the Constitution... Words meant by the instrument to be subsidiary only to the execution of limited powers ought not to be construed as themselves to give unlimited powers, nor a part to be so taken as to destroy the whole residue of that instrument."
"[The States] alone being parties to the [Federal] compact... [are] solely authorized to judge in the last resort of the powers exercised under it, Congress being not a party but merely the creation of the compact and subject as to its assumptions of power to the final judgment of those by whom and for whose use itself and its powers were all created and modified."
"The government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself, since that would have made its discretion and not the Constitution the measure of its powers; but... as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress."
