Big Government: Like King George III, ObamaCare has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of IRS agents and regulators to harass our people and eat out their substance. A second revolution is needed.
We paraphrase these words from the Declaration of Independence as a reminder of what spawned this country's independence — an oppressive governance that would give rise to the original Tea Party in Boston — and as a reminder of President Reagan's dictum that the demise of the liberty we fought for and cherish is never more than a generation away.
The price of liberty today is eternal vigilance and the oppressiveness of ObamaCare, which got a stay of execution from the Supreme Court, is proving every day that the devil is indeed in the details. The individual mandate, ruled a constitutional tax, is only a part of the regulatory and tax iceberg we're about to hit.
The Health and Human Services Department "was given a billion dollars (of) implementation money," Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg of Montana notes. "That money is gone already on additional bureaucrats and (information technology) programs, computerization for the implementation."
ObamaCare, the legislation that replaced the "We the People" of the Constitution with the insidious phrase, "the Secretary shall determine," which appears in the bill a mind-boggling 1,563 times, is still being written.
"There's already 13,000 pages of regulations, and they're not even done yet," says Rehberg.

Nothing less than an open assault on the American people:
The pussy, cowardly, wear-you-down and bankrupt you, way that lawyers fight....
Who is writing all this stuff? Bet they’re pretty high-priced folk, too.
Either:
a) US government have had them on the payroll or have hired them in the last few years.
b) Democrat-backed organizations (or vice-versa) have been grooming this stuff in readiness.
Our Republic is gone.
We are now serfs.
The power to tax is the power to destroy. If they control your health care they control you.

“There’s already 13,000 pages of regulations, and they’re not even done yet,” says Rehberg.
And they won’t ever be done.
“And they won’t ever be done.”

The foundational key to the easy, sheltered, hideously inefficient and overpaid life of the government employee.
Shoot, 13,000 pages is probably just the index of topics they want to cover.
I'd hate to be the winner of the contract to print hard copies of this thing.
Well that’s the whole idea. Make it so complex no one understands it so our overlords can do whatever they please.
Americans have fought up bloody beaches, and braved every sort of hardship, to establish and protect the freedoms of the Constitution. All you have to do though, is make a sandwich, get a cup of coffee, sit down on the couch in your pajamas and read something. But the question is - will you?
I despise Robert's as much as I despise all on the left.
