Dem Rep to constituents on HHS mandate: “Basically, we’re not looking to the Constitution”

Hochul Town Hall: Constitution Ignored for HHS Health Care Mandate Be sure to watch to the end, or you’ll miss this exchange, too:

Q: So why don’t we provide free access to Band-Aids and cancer screenings? Why is it contraception? Aren’t those more important to health care than contraception? [Applause]

HOCHUL: Well, clearly more work needs to be done … [laughter]

Thanks for posting this one. Sounds like TEA partiers are gearing up again and it’s a beautiful sight!

Do these dems not understand that this poseur in the White House makes them look completely ignorant? I’ve heard it before and I’ll say it again: liberalism is a mental disorder.

The Dem-Marxist postion is that people have religious freedom by proxy.

You personally don’t have any freedoms, but as long as your church builing and pastor/priest have limited freedom, you are covered.

This was and is the Communist line on religious freedom.

If it weren’t for the amount of damage she and people like her cause - I would actually pity them for their sheer inability to use logic at all.

Would someone please ask these people why they swear an oath to DEFEND and PROTECT the constitution?

The debate does not need to go any further than that. When you directly admit you’re not looking to it, you have broken that oath.

The problem is not contraception of abortofacients, specifically. The problem is that Obamacare substitutes the Government’s demand for every individual and organization’s own decision making.

The Catholics, to their great credit, are some of the first people to find Obamacare intolerable, because they have strongly held beliefs that they are not willing to compromise, that happen to conflict with one of the leading-edge Obamacare mandates.

But, rest assured, Obamacare will eventually drive each and every one of us to a point on which we are not willing to compromise. At that point, anybody who is saying today “I said nothing, because I was not a Catholic” is going to get what they have coming to them, good and hard.

I’ve always wondered how ANY Democrat can listen to Nancy Pelosi and still be proud to be a Democrat. There is not a single Republican member of Congress as embarrassing to the GOP as she is to her constituents. Reid, Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Schumer.. What a sick, F’d up lot of LOSERS. Their followers actually believe their lies and feeble attempts at psy-ops.. It’s astonishing, actually.

anything that is provided “free” by the government ... is being paid for by the tax money of the top 50% of tax filers.

tax filers in the US : ~140m
top 50% of tax filers: ~70m
total population of the US: 310m (+ 30m illegals)

therefore, 20% of the population is paying for everything

it’s only “free” if you’re one of the free-loading 80%

public good means items everyone can share in. national defense. roads. bridges. municipal buildings.

contraceptives? no thanks. i prefer my contraceptives private and not publicly shared

“I’ve heard it before and I’ll say it again: liberalism is a mental disorder.”

Democrats fall into one of two categories:
1) Those who seek to destroy the USA and everything it stands for.
2) Those who are too dull minded to tie their own shoe laces.

There are no other options.

We have School Lunch Inspectors, taking away children’s lunches because they do not contain meat, vegetable, dairy and grain in each bag.

So, what is a Kosher parent to say when the school demands that his child eat meat and dairy at the same meal, in order to conform with USDA guidelines?

You can't reveal what isn't there in the first place. He's merely the conduit to the truth.

Actually (and horrifically), there is not only a third option - it's all around us.

Because Category 1) regularly makes babies with Category 2).

You probably don't have to be an idiot to be a modern democrat but no one knows for sure as it has never yet been tried.

Things that Make a Good Democrat

  1. You oppose capital punishment, but support abortion on demand and the killing of babies who survive abortion.

  2. You have a firm belief that businesses create oppression but the government creates prosperity.

  3. You know that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than Nuclear weapons in the hands of Islamic terrorists and North Korean communists.

  4. You believe there would be no art without Federal funding.

  5. You know that global temperatures are more affected by soccer moms driving SUVs than by documented cyclical changes in the earth's climate.

  6. You believe the AIDS virus was created by right wingers and is spread by a lack of federal funding.

  7. You believe that the same teacher who can't teach fourth graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

  8. You believe hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

  9. You know that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

  10. You see the NRA as bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

  11. You strogly believe that the 50% of the population who pay 100% of the taxes are not paying their fair share.

  12. You know that Margaret Sanger, Maya Angelou, Huey P. Newton and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, and Alexander Graham Bell.

  13. You believe standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

  14. You agree that military veterans are more of a threat to America than muslim terrorists.

  15. You know that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

  16. You believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a democrat President who lied under oath and raped women belonged in the White House.

  17. You believe homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, but Christmas Mangers and Creches should be illegal.

    You believe illegal Democrat Party funding by radical Islamists is acceptaqble and somehow in the best interest to the United States if it helps get a democrat elected.

  18. You view messages like this one as part of a vast right wing conspiracy.

  19. You don't see any contradiction in giving Federal workers a Christmas Day holiday while making it illegal to say "Merry Christmas."

  20. You know that Islam is a religion of peace but Christianity is destroying America.
