A petition against Obama care: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/repeal-obama-care

After the U.S. Supreme Court upheld most of President Barack Obama's health-care reform law on Wednesday, June 28, Minnesota Republicans renewed their pledge to try to repeal the legislation while Democrats vowed to defend it. Here's a sampling of their reactions.

ARLINGTON, Virginia, June 28, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Supreme Court’s decision upholding Obamacare has made the 2012 election more important than ever, and provides a new imperative for the pro-life movement to act decisively, said Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life early Thursday afternoon. “I’m feeling energized for the elections,” said Pavone when asked his reaction to the ruling. “I think it’s going to get people raging mad.” The priest and leading pro-life activist said the 5-4 decision of the Supreme Court upholding the Affordable Care Act, with Justice John Roberts joining the majority, makes it “clearer than ever...

The House of Representatives just voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt of Congress for stonewalling the House Oversight Committee's efforts to get to the bottom of what occurred in the horrifically planned and ultimately deadly "fast and furious" program. While the House Democratic leadership and their allies have attempted to paint this as nothing more then pure petty politics, the roll call from today's vote reveals something interesting... 17 Democrats voted to hold Holder in contempt - destroying the media's partisan narrative, and possibly giving more Democrats wiggle room to also oppose the embattled Attorney General....

The wartime spokesman of late Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic was asked on Thursday to form a coalition government with a nationalist party, raising concerns among diplomats and investors about Belgrade's bid for European Union membership. Ivica Dacic, head of the Socialist party once led by Milosevic, said after being given the mandate to govern: "There will be no return to the 1990s," the decade when the former Yugoslavia was ripped apart by war. "As prime minister, I will never make a decision that will be an injustice to Serbia and its citizens," Dacic said after meeting President Tomislav Nikolic, head...

Well, now that President Obama’s healthcare legislation has been upheld by The Supreme Court (as a tax which President Obama said wasn’t a tax!), we can safely say we ARE France and other Socialist nanny states which are completely and utterly bankrupt. Say, maybe the IMF will negotiate better rates for our debt like they are considering for Greece! Of course, now that Obamacare has been upheld by the Supreme Court, our debt will add over an additional $1 trillion to our already staggering debt load. And don’t forget increased Obamacare taxes that will make Americans poorer and create staggering...

I just got home from work, and learned of the Supreme Court's ruling. For a moment I was dumbfounded, but was able to gather some scattered thoughts... The Supreme Court is no longer supreme. There a four liberals on the bench, and four conservatives, and then there's Roberts, who is, well that's anyone's guess. However, today Justice Roberts has upheld a clearly unconstitional law by calling it a tax. Incredible! Now, the federal government, can force anyone to buy the government's brand of health insurance. Or, stated another way, the government can now penalize, a once free citizen if they...

South Africa's economy is still largely under the control of whites who held power under apartheid, President Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday, and he called for a "dramatic shift" to redress the wealth balance more evenly in favor of the black majority. Such calls have been a staple of ANC strategy documents for years, and Zuma's policy speech comes months before he will seek re-election as leader of the faction-ridden movement in December. He has also been facing demands from the party's youth wing to nationalize mines and seize white-owned farmland. Zuma, speaking at the start of a major policy...

In any event, some interesting aspects of the decision stand out: 1. The abuse of the commerce clause of the federal constitution appears to have been recognized, and an attempt has been made to end it. That is perhaps the least reported aspect of this decision, and it is an event that should inspire some hope. 2. That the penalty for not purchasing health insurance is a tax, is, however, a genuine worry. The full implications of this designation are hard to predict, but they certainly do not place effective restrictions on authoritarian, even totalitarian, governance. It seems the court...

The Second Amendment - the right of the people to keep and bear arms - could not be more clear, despite assertions by those who disagree with this right.

Health care IS NOT A RIGHT! Nobody has a "right" to the services of a doctor! I would rather DIE than accept Obamacare! This is a DARK DAY! We must FIGHT this attack against LIBERTY! Your health IS NOT MY PROBLEM. Can't afford to pay for care? Then STAY HEALTHY! It's not that hard! There are two primary sources of health care: Your OWN ACTIONS and your RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. I mean it. God heals illness when he chooses to. When he chooses not to, then nobody can help you anyway! If you want to supplement your OWN actions by...

The world's first genetically modified humans have been created, it was revealed last night. The disclosure that 30 healthy babies were born after a series of experiments in the United States provoked another furious debate about ethics. So far, two of the babies have been tested and have been found to contain genes from three 'parents'. Fifteen of the children were born in the past three years as a result of one experimental programme at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey. The babies were born to women who had problems conceiving. Extra genes...

It just occured to me that roberts is the only republican to vote for obamacare.

Student activists from around the country gathered in front of the Supreme Court on Thursday to protest ObamaCare, formally known as the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.” The young conservative activists made it clear they opposed government interference in health care and specifically targeted the bill’s individual mandate. “The federal government does not have the power to mandate that I purchase a specific product, like health insurance,” said Marjorie Jeffrey, a graduate student at Baylor University. “It certainly can’t force me to pay for someone else’s health care.” Other students opposed the narrowly upheld law for other reasons. “I...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I'm blue in the face saying this, too. So for those of you who have heard it and understand it, please indulge me. If you're a small business, if you are a corporation, a major corporation... Let me put it a different way. If you are an employee of a small business or big company, and you have your health insurance via your employment. The president went out there today and said (paraphrased), "Nothing's changed. You get to keep your doctor. If you like your plan, you get to keep it." No, and here's why. What was...

Those contemptuous epithets and more were hurled by Republicans and conservatives at Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. moments after he single-handedly saved Obamacare, joining liberals on the bench to break a 4-4 tie. The Supreme Court has abandoned us,” Texas Gov. Rick Perry declared. “Simply disappointing,” Florida Gov. Rick Scott moaned. “Activist court,” Rep. Michele Bachmann cried. Even Ari Fleischer, the former spokesman for George W. Bush, who appointed Chief Justice Roberts to the court, joined in. “I miss Justice Harriet Miers,” he whined. But they all miss the point, and, more, by looking purely at the...
