The French Revolution wheeled out the guillotine to deracinate this kind of logic and here we have it back.
The man is the kind of person that King Lear's fool made a mockery of.
No matter who wins, the Republicans WILL negotiate Obamacare to please their voters who WANT some of those goodies. (many on FR admit as much) No telling how many Republican voters want their reps to “keep the good stuff”.
They want to “replace” Obamacare with their own constituents wants and needs.
AND they don't want bad press.
So, in a few months the same freepers will be arguing for Republicans to “be careful, don't alienate voters, give them some sensible health-care legislation”.
The republican elites are telling us to calm down, take a deep breath, our man Justice Roberts have given us a great victory.
Does that inspire you to fight?
It all reminds me of the famously disputed meaning of the word “is”. In modern law anything can mean anything. It’s easy, just ask John Roberts or John Edwards. We mistake these robed tyrants for deep thinkers, some of them, anyway, or cumulatively, depending on our political outlook, all of them. But they turn out to be sophists, spinners of words from “is” to the “the”.
Therein YOU provide the answer to all this sick apathy, compliance and cooperation going on with this increasing and advancing tyranny being perpetrated upon a once free society.
Romney ain’t no PATTON, and no contrast to the ONE, but at most the fox guarding the hen house, himself the incubator of all things Obama; the assault on even the religious liberty issue, as well as upon capitalism and all other issues, both foreign and domestic imploding from this very state of mind.
These two guys are empty but are mysteriously gaining in power.
You’re absolutely right. If Romney somehow gets in the WH, he, the RINO’s and Democrats will impose this program with only one major change - the name. Romney will insist that he get the credit and the naming rights.
But, I don’t worry much about that because I believe that Romney will lose. And then, conservatives can reunite around the idea that the federal government should get out of the health care system completely.
Like I said before, it can only be construed as defeatist by those who are trusting in those things to save the republic.
I’m not.
Romney will keep the name ACA...he will just tell the people he IMPROVED ON THE LAW.
Republicans cannot defeat the 1st Black Presidents legacy, and they WILL NOT want to.
And some here will cheer....”what class!”
No it is the ultimate in pessimistic thinking and you'd better hope I'm wrong.
If Roberts decides to retire this summer, who do you think gets to appoint his replacement?
And if Obama gets to appoint his replacement, which ex first lady do you think will get the nomination?
Do you think that McConnell would mount a filibuster against HRC?
No I am NOT hoping he doesn't return in October. But I am predicting it.
Thank you!
Yep.
And without a common understanding of the simple meaning of words, the basis for law is destroyed.
And the inevitable result of abandoning that basis is chaos, tyranny, and destruction.
The Soviet Union is a perfect example of how that works.
Did the One Who breathed a soul into your body, etc., command you to vote for a relentless killer of the babies He lovingly forms, to support Adam accessing Bruce by the back door and calling it "marriage," to vote for a relentless persecutor of each and every pro-life church via Romneycare????
I am a Catholic. In that Church, we have poorly catechized types who worship themselves rather than the one and only God and do what they damn well please while blaspheming that it is somehow God's will. I hear that other quite Godly churches are similarly afflicted. If you can pimp for Romney, then what you "believe is right" and what God knows is right seem to have very widely diverged. Or do you have some direct message from God (not the alleged one you conjure up conveniently consistent with your own desires) that the rest of us have not seen?
Not despairing does not require support for the enemies of God's babies.
Enumerated powers? Gone.
Separation of powers? Gone. And with it any notion of judicial restraint.
Due process? On life support.
Accountability? Gone.
Had the CJ deliberately set out to destroy what was left of the Constitution I can hardly imagine him doing a better job.
Which brings me to another question: What happened?
Remember how there was going to be the release of the Obamacare decision on Tuesday morning, and then we were told the decision would be released Thursday?
Obviously, the CJ changed his opinion at the last minute, and then spent the next day and half hastily writing the majority opinion.
So, what caused the CJ to change is vote at the 11th hour? I think the people of this country are owed an explanation.
I'm waiting for one.
Does this mean that the current outpouring of "Mitt, Mitt HE'S our man..if you don't agree then you're a lying, scumbag Obama supporter and should fry in hell" posts on FR can continue to flood the site?
It looks like that even if Mitt could win, it won't make a bit of difference in the long run so how about it? Is this to officially become an addition to the Romney campaign websites?
You'll get no argument from me there!
If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.
Or you can get raw with these strings.
How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).
Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!
What are you really saying?
Even Paul Revere would have to agree...after this week, life is good in the Kingdom. So stay positive, have a little cake and make a toast to the French...but always keep in mind, in America, our rulers do it better.
“Does this mean that the current outpouring of “Mitt, Mitt HE’S our man..if you don’t agree then you’re a lying, scumbag Obama supporter and should fry in hell” posts on FR can continue to flood the site?”
I quit posting on Romney threads as there was no control imposed on the Romney people’s language so it was unproductive and waste of time.
