Yes, the founders knew the dangers of a large powerful central government, that could easily be taken over by unscrupulous people. We are learning in real time now.

Taking over health care is key to recovery?? They are either insane or totally no good.

I vote both.

.....and yet the MSM will still go on and on about how Obama is really the one who wants to work with the ‘other side’ and the MSM paid-for polls will tell us that the sheep are hoodwinked into believing that Obambi is actually working with the GOP on the Hill.

(Doesn’t matter that it’s a total crock, 60+% of ‘adults’ believe it because the MSM tellls it happened).

GOP recapture of the House is vitally important to defund this crap. I think there is a chance moderate house dems will buck this nonsense.

You are spot on. They have told us exactly what they wanted to do. Nobody should be surprised when the actually do it.

Indeed...I’ve been talking to a guy I work with who was wishy washy about Obama before the election...we talk now and he seems to see the same things I do now that I saw before which he didn’t and that is a power hungry socialist who will do anything to take over as much as he can....

Pray enough Americans also start waking up, particularly in Congress where action can still be taken...

What’s next? The boys from the OBO’s old stomping grounds show up in DC, armed and ready to convince honkies that their vote is need for the redistributions and reparations.

“We are crossing into uncharted territory here.”

Perhaps. but we did fight a civil war in America because of similar unconstitutional actions.

Was that a bugle call I just heard?

Pick “order by post time” to find recent posts.
I pick “match all words” and use as few words as possible.
Pick the least common word or words in the title.
I tried “tactic” and got all three posts.
If you get too many hits, add a word, such as “tactic healthcare.” Words don’t need to be together.
Works great.

Typing in the WHOLE title and then selecting “match exact phrase” is a mistake since one little typo can kill the whole search.

Just some knucklehead doesn’t decide to make up his own totally different title using none of the words in the original.

If you blow it, don’t worry. A lot of folks can’t read every single article on FR and are happy to see a repeat (new to them) of a good article. Don’t let the Post Nazis bother you.

Because they can not be filibustered, budget reconciliations only require 50 votes to pass the Senate.

So, whatever became of Obama the "bipartisan" president??

Increasingly, the Dem-controlled Congress and WH is looking more and more like a thugocracy. This is typical of leftists trying to create or maintain authorian rule and we should expect more.

The Obamoron hinted that he would take this approach when he lectured Congressional Republicans about being part of the group and not listening to Rush. As long as the Republicans oppose his socialist agenda, we can expect to see more marginalizing of the opposition. This is another reason to NEVER again elect someone to high political office who has no experience. The Obamoron has less of a resume than Jimmuh Cahteh had when we made the mistake of electing him POTUS.

time for a national stirke day.

Cut off their tax funding.

if everyone took a day off of work they would lose billions of dollars in revenue.
We could choke commerce.
Shut down cities.
Block the streets.
surround the capital building with thousands upon thousands of angry people.
Civil unrest worked for the left. It can also work for the right.

If now isn’t the time to take off the gloves in the fight against Socialism, then I don’t know what is.

America is asleep at the wheel.
