One question: How many people are going to try and cross the people now in control of their healthcare?
/chuckle
So very true ....
The Dims committed suicide? I will pee on their graves.
I have been starting to scan the various major media outlets across the country in different states. People are really pissed off. Dems are underestimating the whole thing.
Greece and California are bankrupt. And these pukes gleefully add a trillion dollar entitlement to the system.
What are they thinking?
I’m going to work hard to make sure my Rep. get her ass whupped and whupped good in November. Damn commie, Obama rubberstamp.
The American people are no longer asleep. They are awake and ANGRY.
This article implies there will be an election in November.
Kinda like saying, 10 years ago, they won’t be Government Health Care.
WOW....how’s that working out?
When is this crap supposed to go into effect? I’m hoping I’m dead before it does.
“Black Plague” Whoa! That’s harsh! Well deserved, but harsh.
These writers keep forgetting about the other demonstration in D.C. today. The one Islamabama addressed on the giant “big brother” screen. I think it had something to do with immigration reform. That means amnesty for a bunch of democrat voters this November. The democrats are evil and lead by an evil “thing”. They won’t stop just because of some stupid election. It will take much more than that.
May their death be all-inclusive, deceive, and final! - see I didn’t use any four (4) letter words!
Looks like the bill will hopefully enter litigation as it encounters the 38 or so states who have lawyers lined up to fight it — all on its way to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, we will be able to unravel it and let everyone know what the h#ll is in it.
They are acting might sure of next November - must have finally gotten all the voting machine software set up to kick out every 4th or 5th GOP vote. Actually it will need to be more like 3/4 of the GOP votes kicked out.
Or they’re going to put census workers to work voting absentee ballots.
pharaoh’s army drowning in the red sea was ‘historic’ also.
Now that Obama has his deathcare plan. The left will be pushing for legal assisted suicide.

Do You Know Jack?
There are good reasons why even secular society ought to disapprove of suicide. I’ll share them with you.

According to an upcoming HBO movie, “You Don’t Know Jack,” folks. The “Jack” in this case is Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a.k.a., “Dr. Death.” The title also means “you don’t know anything.”
Actually, we know quite a bit about assisted suicide-it’s those who insist otherwise that need instruction.
While the movie hasn’t aired or even been viewed by critics, we can infer its perspective on Kevorkian from the comments made by its stars, Al Pacino and Susan Sarandon.
According to Pacino, viewers “don’t know this guy.” Kevorkian “is more than meets the eye...[the film is] a portrait of a zealot. I don’t think we see that often.”
Kevorkian’s “zealotry” also appealed to Sarandon, who said that people who dedicate themselves to a cause at the expense of anything else in their lives “are really fascinating people.”
For his part, Kevorkian is said to be “enthused about helping with the film.” His lawyer thinks the film won’t be “scathing and critical.”
I guess not. I certainly doubt that three Oscar-winners-Pacino, Sarandon, and director Barry Levinson-have come together to make a film that won’t be at least a little sympathetic to its subject.
What viewers will probably see is a story about a man whose excesses hurt an otherwise noble cause and led to his downfall at the hand of religious zealots.
Of course, there’s nothing noble or “compassionate” about physician-assisted suicide-and you don’t have to be religious to believe that.
No one would call the British magazine Spiked religious or even traditionalist. Yet, it recently ran two pieces about why assisted-suicide should remain illegal. In one of them Kevin Yuill of the University of the Sunderlands makes clear what many assisted-suicide advocates try to obscure: The ultimate goal isn’t to alleviate suffering, but to enshrine in law “the right of any person to end their life.”
This “right,” according to Yuill, threatens the “assumption that human life is valuable.”
He calls suicide a “deeply anti-social act” that destroys “possibilities”-not just, obviously, for the individuals themselves, but for others too. Yuill insists that it’s this social harm and not what he terms “outmoded religious beliefs” that lies behind the “taboo against suicide.”
In the other piece, editor Mick Hume adds that the “right to die” is the result of a “loss of faith-not in God, but in humanity.” Hume decries the lack of belief in “the human capacity to transcend the limitations of our lives.” In this “demoralized” setting, the wish for a “good death” replaces “the aspiration for a better life.”
What Hume and Yuill miss completely is the connection between Christian ideas and the beliefs whose passing they lament. What Hume calls “faith in humanity” is inseparable from the idea of our being created in the image of God. What Yuill calls “possibilities” is derived from Christian ideas about hope.
But that’s OK. When it comes to assisted suicide, the next big so-called rights campaign that the left will wage, we Christians welcome good, prudential arguments. So that even non-believers can come to understand the “aspiration for a better life.”

The Federal Government did not keep its promises in many areas. In the promises concerning Social Security cost and obligations they did not keep faith. The promises surrounding the cost of Medicare have not been honored. I could go on and on and on. Therefore I purpose that our obligations to them should be treated as their obligations to us.
Congressional retires should lose all of their future retirement benefits.
They have done it to us. There is very little pain in being sent home by your constituents when 90% if their pay stays the same. Lets send them home without a golden parachute. If they can ignore their promises and obligations why can't we? What gives their claim superiority over ours?
I think we should look for Conservatives that will go to Washington and pass legislation that will cancel all retirement benefits for retired Federal legislators. It will take the same metal exhibited by some in Congress this week, although I doubt that the people will be very offended by this.
