Obamacare Is Dead and Here's Why [Obamacare Ongoing Thread]
Town Hall ^ | 1-26-10 | Robert A. Levy

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:27:02 PM PST by JustPiper

As the Massachusetts blame game unfolds, the president’s unpopular health bill leads the list. But the substantive provisions of the bill were just part of the problem. Perhaps more important, voters were appalled by how the deal unfolded.

Consider the pre-election giveaway to the labor unions. Negotiators agreed to exempt union contracts until 2018 from the tax on so-called Cadillac health-insurance plans. That backroom bargain not only outraged the voters, it also violated the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, requiring the federal government to extend equal protection of the laws to all U.S. persons. Of course, not all voters understood the constitutional nuances, but they sensed that something was very wrong; and they reacted.

I have been disturbed by the socialists for years, ever since I learned many members of Congress 'openly' joined the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). Several years ago, the names were published on the DSA site. (since removed of course) Please post any info you have, many of you have been on this issue for many years, & if we can store it all on one thread, we have our FreeRepublic Warehouse on the enemies of the state. How DO we combat this, when it's coming at us from every angle? When the people have been asleep for decades. Please post anything you have found or accumulated. Also choose a dictator these people follow, of particular interest,those in D.C. who have been quoted with their adulation of one.

Communism- Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Trotskyism-Maoism- Hoxhaism-Hoxhaism-Titoism ETC

See that Glenn Beck and BOR both
have talked about the ‘birthers’
today .... there’s no way to judge
their mentions other very purposeful,
notable and curious.

In fact, the mentions are growing
everywhere. Prompted by what or
whom ?

Obama wants people focused on the Birth Certificate. As long as THAT is on the coverage, that’s what people will be talking about. Its the WRONG issue.

What people should be talking about is Barack’s CITIZENSHIP and the fact his Dad was British, and THAT makes him a Citizen of Britain, and by definition, NOT a Natural Born Citizen of the United States.

Them cretin is an Usurper. AND HE KNOWS IT. He cosponsored legislation to unconstitutionally change the definition of NBC with out a constitutional ability to do so. Congress doesn’t get to interpret the constitution or define it. That is for the Judicial branch.

AND THEY KNOW THAT TOO, WHICH IS WHY THAT TACTIC FAILED.

I didn’t see Glenn’s show today, but I thought BOR’s mention had more to do with what he called “the 10%” of the Tea Party as a whole. (Side-note: I am madly storing-up on all my favorite sweets, in preparation for the season of Lent).

Last year as I was meditating before lent, I realized I needed to “give up” my seditary life....Get out and move for a longer period of time each day. I felt so much better by Easter. Plus I prayed as I execised. (and ate a better diet too)

Adding the something positive to your life to me is more important than taking something out of your life.

I did that one year, along with giving up all sweets and snacks. Never felt more miserable in my life...lol. I’ll never do both together again. It’s too cold here for me to go outside, so I’m giving up all the sweets and snacks again, and I pray every time I think about sweets and snacking so that’s good.

Are you doing the same this year and what about you, dear STAR?

Well, I eat almost no sweets .. and I eat
very regularly, but sensibly, so that’s not a
big deal. I definitely plan to pray more.

I keep forgetting the 3 0’clock time slot
during the year, but this special and a
favorite for Lent and right at the computer.

"The Real Reason Obama Did not Go to Kenya on His Africa Tour"

While true, I posted right after...or during...his trip that Ghana has always been used as a money pickup hub. CASH money... off the books money. clinton picked up a suitcase with 5 mil cash there from a government office in March, just 5 months before the al Qaeda Bombings in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania --
August 7, 1998,
for which clinton bombed an aspirin factory in Sudan.

Clinton Trip. Clinton didn't go to Kenya either, but no one made a big deal out of that.

BOTH were welcomed to OSU Castle, you know, the place where supposedly obama was just so emotional over the early slave trade in Ghana that he just had to pose there with his daughters? How many articles mentioned that OSU Castle is actually where the government of Ghana is located?
The slave thing sounded so much better for his political agenda...him being African and black and all....except that HIS family SOLD slaves but were not slaves themselves. The Luo captured and traded slaves.
I am sure barrack really gave a damn.

But hearken back to several months earlier when 134 BILLION DOLLARS worth of untraceable US Government securities suddenly turned up, (and subsequently disappeared,) in a suitcase in Italy.
Never a resolution to that.
Just faded out of sight.

Where do you think that money ended up?
Who is going to search the president of the USA? NO ONE.

It has been done before, but that was the largest amount ever attempted. Long way from 5 mil to 134 BIL.
The end of that was that they were "probably" forgeries. but no one ever knew for sure. Then it just went out of the news, and out of the public mind.

Now, even though everyone is asking where all the missing money from the TARP program went, NO ONE ever wonders about the 134 BIL. I find that very odd.
