Patriots around the country will now realize that there is no cavalry on the horizon. If we want to preserve our liberties, we will have to fight for it. Patriots and Independents now have a singular reason to show up at the polls in November.
Amen....it’s the END of AMerica if we don’t stop abortions.

Maybe, maybe not.
None of the odious elements (and they are legion) will hit until well after the election, therefore the Great Unwashed will not have felt the impact by November.
The GOP can and should spend millions on ads detailing what is to come but the Big O and his media minions will ridicule that as 'the sky is falling' hysteria and will tout all the 'good' elements of the bill...pre-existing, kids staying on parents until mid-twenties, etc.
Do not count on those in the Great Unwashed to think beyond their next meal or nap.
So you are in between “don’t give up” and “don’t work harder”?
A great post from you.
The individual mandate survived only as a tax.
Whether or not that tax was constitutional
was not a question that was put before the court.
And since the tax will not become effective until 2014,
it likely can not be challenged on those grounds until then.
I have two questions...
Does the fact that amount of the “tax” is income-based allow it to fall under the provisions of the 16th?
How is the federal gasoline tax classified, is it an excise tax?
Thanks.
Mark Levin eviscerates John Roberts’ opinion as “incoherent” and “stupid”:

I am willing to give Romney ONE WEEK to issue EO’s exempting Obamacare to all states. He said 100 times he will do it on 1st day in office. I will be generous and give him one whole week. It will not take long to find out if he is a lier.
It is the opinion, regardless of what we think.
The question now is, what do we do for the next 130 days to end Obamacare and every other toxic change Obama has wrought.
All: Watch the price of oil today.....+4.40, this Phony-care is nothing but a hooked permanent bailout with leverage anytime they choose.
Oil up +4.40 with no move of any improvemnt in employment.
The D.C. Roberts AntiActivity Gang, runs scott-free, salaries,benefits, retirements, perks, healthcare their kind, stay above (or raises) this inflation, while everyone else is hooked or unemployed.
I see no evidence that Romney is giving all Americans waivers, none.
It's our duty to vote for the Stupid Party to stop the Evil Party.
The country will still be going to hell in a handbasket, but not as fast.
Lol! This would only be true if GOPe made the case against Romney...I mean OBAMAcare.
If you recall, these are the pigs who rose up on their hind legs and told the ‘extremist’ Tea Party to shut up and go away. These are the same traitors who offered no defense while communists called us domestic terrorists from tee vee news programs.
Our government now has unlimited powers as long as they can phrase it as a tax.
This isn’t a win for anyone except big government statists.
There was no win here.
Unless you’re working with the would be tyrants....
The Court just said that we are serfs.
We live at the convenience of our elected officials.
Side note: When Karl Marx wrote of re-establishing the “natural order”, he meant returning to a Feudal society.
To be a tax on income, it is necessary to identify the income being taxed. There is none.
However, it could be considered as conceptually an income tax credit. It is collected by the IRS on Form 1040. But Congress made no such claim or assertion, nor will there be any way to apply for the credit.
Congress could have made it an explicit tax credit, but didn't. Legally, it isn't. And the difference matters:
To pass a tax credit that is revenue neutral, other taxes must be raised. It is impossible to do that (by raising taxes to compensate) so that the net taxes of all those who qualify for the credit don't change. That makes it a political problem even if everyone agrees that those who don't qualify for the credit should suffer.
Fining those whose behavior you dislike does not have that problem.
The political difficulty of imposing a penalty matters. There's a reason the only Constitutionally valid way to do it without creating a bill of attainder is more difficult.
No one has stopped anything Obama is doing.
I wouldn’t put anything past him at this point.
The American Revolution was a war over taxes: how high they were and who was paying them.
You can warn the Ruling Class but they won’t listen to you. :(
