A Lie From Day One
The American Spectator ^ | 10-30-13 | Betsy McCaughey

Posted on 10/30/2013 5:22:11 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

Believing in this president is proving to be a health hazard.

~snip~

The liar is none other than the President of the United States. On June 15, 2009, President Obama told a town hall meeting that “No matter how we reform healthcare, we will keep this promise…. if you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.”

The fine print in his health law proves that he never intended to keep that promise.

Sec. 1251(a)(1) of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) says that no one can be required to give up a plan in effect on March 23, 2010, when the law was passed. Those plans are “grandfathered.” But following that guarantee is a list of costly requirements that made it difficult for insurers to keep offering your plan.

It gets worse. Union plans were “grandfathered” with none of those fine print tricks and exceptions [Sec. 1251(d)].

The law also left open the possibility that the president could impose additional requirements on grandfathered plans (except union plans). Two months after Obamacare was passed, the IRS, Department of Labor, and Department of Health and Human Services — all reporting to the president — churned out hundreds of additional rules to make it even harder for grandfathered plans to survive.

~snip~

Seniors in Medicare Advantage plans are getting a similar run around when they ask about why their doctors are being axed. United Healthcare cut thousands of cardiologists and other specialists from Advantage plans in the New York metro area and Connecticut during October. So much for the promise that grandma can keep her doctor.

There are so many 14th Amendment violations in this beast, both in statutes and its implementation, that it is hard to keep track of them all.

Jhn 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Depending on who the officers are leading the military coup, I might actually welcome one right now.

Betsy McCaughey is a clear thinking critic of Obamacare who has demonstrated time and again in articles and in television commentary her grasp of the subject and the accuracy of her predictions.

Equally as vocal yet more regional in some regards is Dr. David Janda who has been a regular on Glenn's TV Show. He read the entire bill during "that" timeframe, and was on a screed to inform the American Public. Sadly, about 50% of are brethren were or are still asleep.

Well, if the coup is to save the Constitution, they sure won't be Øbama supporters.

FDR engendered a coup in 1936, that allowed federal agencies to regulate - effectively, allowing the Executive branch the power to write laws. The USSC ruled it unconstitutional, then FDR made a few threats, then the USSC reversed itself.

Every federal regulation is unconstitutional.

And the USSC said so - before they rolled over.

A military coup will NEVER happen, now that Obama has “purged” the Military of top Generals for unknown reasons; but most likely because they either criticised him, or his policies, or refused to go along with those policies. Because of this purge, I don’t believe our military will do anything to stop this dictator.

A Lie From Day One

Bathhouse Barry's whole life has been a lie since the day he was born.

He is a walking CIA psyop.

Those plans are “grandfathered.” But following that guarantee is a list of costly requirements that made it difficult for insurers to keep offering your plan.

The insurance plan that I had (and that I liked) did not cover the adult children of policy holders. It also had lifetime coverage limits which helped keep premiums down. On January 1, 2011, I lost that plan. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) deemed my plan 'illegal'. The Obama government declared at the point of a gun to my insurer that they were no longer allowed to offer that policy - the policy I had, and the policy I liked - to me any more. Instead, the Obama government took it upon themselves to make changes to my policy, outlawing the policy that I liked, and replacing it with a policy that I did not like.


It gets worse. Union plans were “grandfathered” with none of those fine print tricks and exceptions [Sec. 1251(d)].

This in of itself violates the equal protection clause of Amendment XIV. But then Democrats have been opposing equal protection since 1828.

Oh, as an evangelical Post-Millenialist, I have the faith that our Sovereign God gives, that His Kingdom is expanding to eventually cover the entire world, thus Socialism, and Islam is eventually doomed, all knees, (including Obama) will bow to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Yet; in regard to THIS present moment, since Obama has purged the top leadership of the Military of those who would oppose him..if a military coup is to take place at all, it would have to be instigated by lower level officers..but it’s highly doubtful that this would ever happen, since the military is trained not to question orders that come down from the chain of command.

The military is trained not to question LEGAL orders. Overthrowing the Constitution is NOT legal.

An individual soldier in the Military will follow orders, regardless.. It’s tough to see if any individual soldier will be able to determine if any orders are illegal or legal. That soldier will do as he is told. His IMMEDIATE officers will likely be the people who determine if the orders that come down the chain of command are legal or not. But as I’ve said, Obama has purged not only Generals, but flag officers as well.
I would love to see a Military coup occur, if that coup eliminates the Obama Administration, to replace it with a strict Constitutionally oriented Government. BUT at this present moment, this is not likely to happen. I just don’t see it happening.

They thought of that already. Obamacare gives the fed the power to seize all assets. That's one of the most totalitarian aspects of the whole totalitarian scheme.
