MAKE DC LISTEN: TELL YOUR SENATORS TO OPPOSE CLOTURE ON H.J. RES 59
We must oppose cloture on H. J. Res. 59, so that Harry Reid and Senate Democrats cannot sneak in funding for Obamacare. We need you to call your Senators right now: tell them to oppose cloture on H.J. Res 59 and remind them that a vote for cloture IS a for funding Obamacare.

“‘It’s the law of the land.”

But it does NOT have to be!

Opposing tyranny is Patriotism.

The Supreme Court constantly overturns “the law of the land”. It is legal and appropriate to oppose bad law.

Opposing tyranny is Patriotism.

Opposing tyranny is Duty. We owe it to our children and to our founders, we have inherited a legacy and are duty bound to preserve it for our posterity. Freedom isn't free and liberty is often only realized after the tree of liberty has been watered with the blood of patriots.

It burns us all to know that Republican party does believe there are causes worth fighting for even worth dieing for. Surrender is not tactic, getting more traitors elected to the senate is not a strategy. They had both houses and grew and the government, which entitlement did they shut down? There are strong reasons to believe that the GOP cooperated with the IRS to mute the tea-party, that the establishment defamed Bachmann and Cain to clear the path for their own. We are fighting Reid because the GOP covertly sabotaged Angle and I could go on and on. The Establishment GOP is not a friend of liberty, they are the face of the new despots or is that two-faced.

‘It’s the law of the land.’

So was slavery.

The hypocrisy goes deeper though. Yes, Obamacare is the law of the land. But it is President Obama — who is legally and constitutionally required to faithfully execute the law — and not Republicans who has openly defied it. He has unilaterally and often with no statutory authority opted to waive and delay the parts of the Affordable Care Act that are politically inconvenient to him (or that his administration has been too incompetent to implement).

Time and time again, we've seen that this president doesn't give a whit about the laws of the land. He rules by fiat, the media carries his water for him, and many Republicans in the Congress are too scared of him to do anything about it. He has the Supreme Court safely tucked in his back pocket, and his IRS terrorizes conservatives who dare to disagree with his agenda. We can only hope and pray that this scourge of lawlessness will be lifted soon and our freedom and self-government restored.

Liberal: It’s the law of the land.”

Conservative: Obama is not following the law or the constitution.

While this is closer to anarchy than anything the tea partiers have pushed for, anarchy still isn’t the right word for it. Because President Obama still believes people should obey the law of the land — when it pleases him, that is.

Not Anarchy. Totalitarianism. We all exist at the pleasure of the King, who is the law, and even then is only partially bound by his own proclamations.

As was prohibition!

Guess where we would be today if they were still the “Law of the Land”?

Worth repeating...with empahsis...
"..But it is President Obama — who is legally and constitutionally required to faithfully execute the law — and not Republicans who has openly defied it. He has unilaterally and often with no statutory authority opted to waive and delay the parts of the Affordable Care Act that are politically inconvenient to him (or that his administration has been too incompetent to implement)."
Seems this Administration is not only guilty of all avoidance of all transparency, but has continued to cherry pick only the favorable (???) aspects of this Act. The selective revisionist memory of this Administration knows no bounds. Seems that segments of this 'law' were and continued to be unilaterally and arbitrarily executed. Then it is simply grossly discriminating against a large part of the populace. Either this 'law' is to be executed in its totality or to be ignored and ruled unvalid/unconstitutional.

Is it anarchy to fail to enforce emigration laws?
Is it anarchy to pass a tax bill that originates in the senate?
Is it anarchy to make recess appointments when congress is still in session?
Is it anarchy to refuse to quell voter intimidation?
Is it anarchy to use the IRS to quite dissent?
Is it anarchy to jail a man for a film, to cover an arms deal and attack on an embassy?
Is it anarchy to give waivers to your campaign contributors without legal authority of law?
Is it anarchy to sign a treaty without senate consent?

Or it is just plain high crimes and misdemeanors?

And if they tell me the Supreme Court upheld it, I remind them of the Dredd Scott case.

Maybe a little Anarchy can be a good thing.

Does anyone really think Anarchy would kill more than governments have in all recorded history?

Does anyone, not a progressive/communist/Marxist/Democrat/traitor (completely interchangeable names) think our little Anarchy against the British a few centuries ago was a bad thing?

Hell the damned country is founded on the concept of WE THE PEOPLE holding the majority of power and NOT government. Is that not a little bit of Anarchy?

As long as “repeal” is a legal thing to do at all... of course it cannot be “anarchy”... what we have here is a gruesome example of what worship of all manner of things that aren’t God, is like.

Kennedy kicked the ball down the road. Calling it a tax, that will require somebody to actually BE taxed under the program in order to generate the basis for challenging it in court as being an illegal tax. My guess is that the Obamadmin will try to keep that from happening until the next presidential election.
