Good now that Obamacare is in, I can start my witchdoctor career! I think it will be BIG! Maybe I can get some stimulus money to get started. Obama will probably bring some witchdoctors over from Kenya. Damn it, I can’t get a brake!!!!

Japa, you have an uncanny way of saying things, such as sporting an extra chin. I am sure you saw that extra chin on Michelle Obama and let not forget her arse, you could serve a dinner for 2 on her arse it is so big, now we are suppose to listen to her about eating healthy?
I just read something about the son of Dr Leaky who is in his 60′s now and wants to interview Michelle for his new book “Gorilla’s In The Mist II”, he does believe in evolution and he thinks that she is the missing link between Gorilla’s and modern man.

You know, if you don’t or CAN’T pay your income taxes, the IRS can take your property & auction it off to cover your taxes. I’m wondering if it will come to that, if a family can’t pay these Obamacare TAXES, that are imposed on them! It just seems to me like this is just another step in the direction of making the whole general population a “slave” to the government! If the government can impose this requirement on it’s citizens, then they can certainly raise the premium to the point that we’re not able to pay them!! THEN WHAT?????? The citizens of America had better wake up BEFORE it’s too late,……..like before November!!

Thumbing his nose at society and then expecting by force that selfsame group to take care of him after the consequences of stupid choices is rather ludicrous.
Jeff
Granted. He’s irresponsible. Lots of people are. The issue is what do we do about this as a policy matter? Just letting him die on the highway is not an answer. He might be a Republican with insurance (or money), for God’s sake!
Repeal and replace with WHAT? The only idea the Republicans have ever had for healthcare they now decry as socialism. The answer is replace with nothing. Just let health care costs continue eating up more and more of the economy. We already spend twice as much on healthcare as other advanced countries and the outcomes are no better for the most part.

To cmi: Americans are already slaves to the government.
A slave is anyone who does NOT own 100% of one’s labors, which anyone who pays taxes realizes that they are a slave to the government for some portion of the year.
Have you ever heard of tax-freedom day, when one has finished off paying one’s ‘obligation’ to the government and then owns the fruits of one’s labor for the rest of the year?
Yes, taxpayers are slaves, and now Americans have become even more enslaved; soon Americans will be 100% slaves at the rate America is going.

CMI. the power to “tax” has always been the power to destroy! Just raise the “tax” on something until it can’t be “paid” and the something will no longer exist! Since this nation was created we have had Democrat administrations who have governed and Democrat controlled Congresses who have created “taxes” (but not ALL of them) and the results of having and using that power???THE NUMBER ONE NATION IN THE WORLD!! IS THE USA YOUR SECOND OR THIRD CHOICE AS TO WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO LIVE!
So it appears to me that the Democrats have not exercised the power to tax nearly as strongly as they could have since they helped ” build a nation” instead of “destroying one’!
Ever heard of anyone in this nation starving to death from paying federal income tax??
Great nations don’t grow on trees! Nations have to achieve the status of greatness and then maintain it!

When Obama was running in 2008, I said that I would vote for him next time if he could deliver on just 10% of his promises. The ONLY promise that he delivered on was “WE ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE THE FACE OF AMERICA!!!” His presidency has been a total failure and a lie (his lips keep moving). If anyone likes what he’s done to America since he was sworn in, vote him back in. But, if you do, hang on to your hat because you ain’t seen nothing yet. Since he can’t serve a third term, he’ll be like a bull turned loose in a china shop. He’s done nothing but destroy every part of the constitution that he could. He’s still blaming Bush for his total failures. But, remember, the first two years he and the Dems controlled both houses of Congress. That means that everything they passed in those two years, he get’s to take the blame on those failures. ie: $800 billion bailout to save GM and Chrysler. Not a failure? Not according to China. I recently saw a video of the CEO of GM addressing a stock holder’s meeting. He stated (and I quote), “70% of GM’s production now comes from China.” Thank you Obama!! And, another “Green” company just went under after Obama giving them $400 million. Thank you, Obama. Obama and Michelle are like a “pig in slop”. They’re going to keep rooting in that slop until they take it all!! Had George Bush done the illegal things that this farce of a president has done, he would deserve to be impeached. So, don’t even think of trying to make the things I’ve said racial!! This election has nothing to do with race. It has EVERYTHING to do with the failure of a man who was not qualified to be President (except for being black)……and he’s proven it with his actions. Racial???? That’s Obama and Holder to the core. Where were they when tha Black Panthers were threatening voters at the voting poles???? (only one example of their being racists) Anyone who is honest could write volumes about his failures, but only a very few sentences about his success. HE”S BEEN A TOTAL SUCCESS………….OF BEING THE BIGGEST FAILURE AS A PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES.

This way Obamacare is completely repealed or the Democrats up for re-election will lose because they voted to keep Obamacare. The seats that considered toss ups are Nelson FL, ME open, MA Brown, MI Stabenow, MO McCaskill, MT Tester, NV Heller, VA Webb, WI Kohl.

Vote him again, and you’ll see what he has in store for this country when he’s not worried about getting re-elected. But, here’s a few questions: Do you think Obama is unlucky? Do you think he uninformed? Do you think he’s incompetent? I, personally, don’t think he’s any of these. So, what does that leave? HE’S INTENTIONALLY DOING FROM THE INSIDE WHAT HIS MUSLIM BUDDIES HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO FROM THE OUTSIDE. He intentionally destryoing this country. And, he’s doing a great job of that!! There’s one more thing that he’s been fantastic at: IT’S BUSH’S FAULT!!!!! He and the Dems controlled both houses of congress for the first 2 years that he was in office. He got everything passed that he wanted. But, he had to buy Nelson’s (Nebraska) vote by promising that he would give Nebraska a waiver that they wouldn’t have to abide by Obamacare. (Typical Chicago Thug Politics). The GM & Chrysler bailouts (Fact: 70% of GM’s production comes out of China). I could go on and on and on, but, you get the picture. You know, there comes a time when you have to stand up and take the responsibility for your screw-ups. Obama hasn’t taken responsibility for ANY of his failures. HE KEEP BLAMING THAT “WASCAL” BUSH!! Of course, he’s had a lot of help. When Nancy (Puke) Pelosy stands up in front of God and everybody and says on national TV that “We need to pass this health care bill so we can find out what’s in it, she should have been taken out of the building and shot on the steps!!! If you’re happy with a government that passes things before the read them…………….YOU JUST CAN’T FIX STUPID!!!

it will be funny when a business owner with 49 employees thinks he’s safe from offering an insurance plan, only to find out he’s considered an employee himself. can you see the punchline coming? he has to fire one of his employees! ha ha ha! here’s another chuckle, he will never ever grow his business or buy out a competitor, absolutely no matter what. so now his 48 employees have to get insurance on their own or violate the law. making minimum wage how will they handle that? of course we are reassured it will be subsidized for them, but probably only as a tax credit reimbursement, after they paid out 500 a month each for a whole year. and here’s the kicker, not only are they basically healthy, but if they do see the doctor they confront a $500 deductible. this is where the govt is forcing people and businesses to make all kinds of hard decisions, and this complication of their lives and resulting hardship is found constitutional by the supreme court? well there is one group that will be helped. the fat ones of society can now belly up to the buffet line knowing that those healthy minimum wagers are now in the insurance pool, subsidizing their inevitable health problems. no editor would accept this as a manuscript.

As an engineer, I certainly do how “the game is played”. Obviously you have no clue as to how large companies operate.
Most senior managers are overpaid elitists who don’t own the company, did not start the company, and often hardly know what is made by the company. They get their jobs through family and friends with connections in high places. They are the untitled royalty. They make decisions based on feathering their own nests, and hire people to do all the real work. They answer to stockholders who, unless they have very large holdings, are powerless to regulate their actions and rates of pay. Instead of investing in new ideas, they increase profits by cutting expenses and exporting jobs.
Jeff
Bob:
Since you asked so nicely, I’ll tell you. The purpose of a business is to make money. The real question is “What is the purpose of a government?” If they’re the same, then one may not be necessary. But, if one purpose of the government is to regulate business, then don’t hire a business cheerleader or lobbyist to run the government. Business has tons of lobbyists to argue for environmental laxity, tax loopholes, favorable trade policies, and freedom from competition. They even write the laws for the legislators so they have time to play golf.
The President needs to be an advocate for the people. The Chamber of Commerce is there to argue that w/o environmental regulations, profits can be higher. The people deserve some input concerning the quality of the air they breathe and the quality of the nation in which they live.
uvuvuv
norm, nah, the employees should get new jobs, that would be easier. there are many businesses that have extremely close margins, but they do manage to pay their employees contrary to your assertion. the last time employees weren’t paid was in the south up until 1863, i think. if you ever go to a tire shop you will see that no one there is wearing tuxes, even the owner who has a much dirt under his fingernails as the guys on the floor. he might not even have insurance himself. i think your business experience is working in a design studio where they set up a brochure for a company sales meeting and get $12,000. or you work for the dnc or naral. oh yeah, they can afford to handle insurance. bring it on.

One of the govt regulators came out to a farm to investigate the working conditions. He asked the old farmer that owned the farm how many employees he had and, what they did and how much he paid them. The old farmer said, well i have my foreman, he has been here 10 years and i pay him $700 a week plus room and board. I have the cook, she has been here 5 years and she gets $500 a week plus room and board. Then there is the idiot, he gets $10 a week, room and board and i buy his tobacco. The govt man says, that’s the one i want to talk to, the idiot. The old farmer said, that would be me. That is the typical small business.

The one, and only, purpose of a business is to make a profit.
However any business has costs. These costs include materials, labor, and other expenses including taxes. All businesses producing similar products and services have the same burden.
If this country is to survive and remain(?) a great power, and the envy of the world, businesses must pay employees livable compensation, and pay taxes to support government. Armies, highways, social programs, etc. don’t come free of charge.

Thank God for Justice Roberts. He is truly an honorable and distinguished man in an era where these are rare qualities.
A Supreme Court that follows ideology rather than constitutionality and the law takes a large step toward the demise of a democratic republic. Roberts proved he is above politics.

And I suppose you support his desire to raise the cost of medical premiums for our military? Next, he’ll go back to the command of a few years ago telling the military that they should pay their own medical expenses after being injured in war. He respects no one and maybe those same military people who guard the WH and his mixed breed butt will show him what they think of his thought process and lack of respect.

The only increases in taxes are on incomes over 250k/yr. and on freeloaders, with no insurance, who use emergency rooms as their own personal free clinics.
dwayne
I guess I am one of the freeloaders, have worked fulltime in the healthcare profession for over 22 years, have no insurance available, NEVER have used the ER for my non-emergent medical needs, have always paid out of pocket for ,my own health care, but I bet the tax penalty will be something this “freeloader” has to pay! I guess they will just keep adding to the long list of deductions from my “freeloading” paychecks! If I am the definition of a freeloader, I would gladly welcome a few freeloaders to donate a huge portion of their their hard-earned salaries to MY well-being.
Funny how Obama has always held that ObamaCare’s “individual mandate” is absolutely, positively NOT a tax and Justice Robert’s thought differntly enough to “re-write” the mandate and turn it into a tax.
“The Federal Government does not have the power to order people to buy health insurance. Section 5000A would therefore be unconstitutional if read as a command. The Federal Government does have the power to impose a tax on those without health insurance. Section 5000A is therefore constitutional, because it can reasonably be read as a tax.”
The court was silent about the 20 other different taxes hidden in ObamaCare, more than half of which affect families earning less than $250,000 a year.
It’s a tax on middle class Americans who don’t have health insurance, who are self-employed, who have high-deductible policies ObamaCare doesn’t allow anymore.
I can’t wait to watch President Obama on the campaign trail celebrating his huge tax hike. I can’t wait to watch him answer the question “Why did you keep telling us over and over that the mandate ISN’T a tax?”
Oh, that’s right, the media will conveniently ignore any such questions as will the sheeple…but, the people won’t forget.
There’s only two ways to raise taxes…legislate or decieve.
To all the die hard Obamaphiles, how does it feel to be decieved and not even know it? Euphoric?

First of all the court never said it was a massive tax, those are your words. Roberts did not rewrite any part of the law. The solicitor general for the Obama administration argued before the court that it was allowable under both the commerce clause and the taxing powers clause. Roberts rewrote nothing of the law he just ruled that congress has that power under the taxing powers clause and that whatever label you use to describe it, in reality it is a tax. The constitution does say that congress has the power to levy and collect taxes to provide for the general welfare and what he ruled is that is their power and the court does not sit in judgment of the wisdom of their acts but only weather or not they have the power to do so and he ruled they did but he changed nothing in the law as you say he did, the other taxes in the law are specifically for providing for the general welfare and the ruling does cover those too but the question was over the mandate and the tax for it, he had to determine if congress could do it under the commerce clause, the taxing authority clause or both, he ruled that they could only do it under the taxing authority. The correct way to look at the law is the net cost savings, there will be taxes and savings from this law and the net will be reduced but conservatives only look at the taxes it levies. Insurance companies can now only use 15% of their group premiums collected for profit and overhead and 20% on individual premiums, (currently that has been between 25% and 40%) bankruptcy loses from health care are expected to drop 90%, these will now be income to providers and subject to tax and no longer a tax write off, this added income for providers will be added profit for them, a lot less use of the emergency rooms creating more savings etc. etc. that is why you can not just look at it from the tax angle. This law will in time reduce overall net cost of health care and provide improvements for a lot of people, no limiting life time coverage’s, no preexisting conditions etc etc as well as 30 million more covered by insurance and the insurance costs will be cheaper than taxpayers paying directly for their care. Look at the big picture and then you can get the whole picture instead of all this complaining. I understand you do not like the law but that will not change anything. Open your mind and see the truth.

Samurai… Ok, you read some passages in the Hebrew Bible, maybe you read all of them. But from what I see you do not understand any of it as it was intended when Torah was given by God. You are putting, typically so, Christian desired meanings to Hebrew scripture and in many cases you are wrong. Relating to what you are trying to do here how are you associating (“Sodom and Gomorrah, The Persians were able to take Babylon without firing a shot, due to God’s hand moving King Darius of Persia. He also caused the Assyrians to retreat from their siege of Jerusalem) with what Obama does?
WOW, I have seen and heard so many mis-interpretations of the Hebrew bible by Christians but this thing you do with it is really funny.
It is true that Obama is no more a Marxist or a Hitler-like than you are but you do take the misinforming cake way to far.
You say so often in your endings “FOR GOD AND COUNTRY! “ I agree with that but just not as you do. And you also said “P.S. You need both love of country and fear of God to be a patriot.” My question is, How come you do not put God first as my bible and your Jesus says to do?

The problem with the ACA was that it was sold to the public as something that could be done under the commerce clause. It was determined that that was not the case. Roberts used some convoluted logic to get to the tax part. It was a huge bait and switch propagated against the American people. It might have been a constitutional win for Obama but it will certainly not be a political one. I eagerly wait for your comments come November.
http://firefox wog1
The term ACA is a misnomer as are all things associated with the Democrats,
Apparently.
jopa
Bev;Justice Roberts vote for the ACA made it bipartisan.This is a law both sides will eventually totally embrace once they become more educated as to what this all means to everyone in America.Not just savings for everyone on their private plans but also there will be so much less suffering by children in America because of their parents circumstances.In the past children would have to endure excruciating pain until their parents would finally give in and take them to an ER and that really costs a lot more than a visit to a doctor.Now a child can be brought in before they get too bad and it will be more cost effective.
Palin16
jopa,
wrong pal, we will not come to embrace Obummercare. Now that they call it a tax, it proves Obummer lied to the American people when he said “if your family makes less than $250,000 a year, you will not see any tax increases whatsover…no income taxes, no sales taxes, no Capital Gains taxes, not one thin dime of any taxes.” Obummercare amounts to the biggest tax increase in the history of the USA.
Vigilant
Palin16, you are of course 100% correct.
Let’s look at the comments furnished by the ever-Marxist jopa:
(1) “Justice Roberts [sic] vote for the ACA made it bipartisan.” jopa thinks the mission of the Supreme Court is to “vote” on legislation, and that everything’s hunky dory as long as bipartisan good feelings result. He’s apparently not aware that the SCOTUS has but ONE mission, i.e., to rule on the Constitutionality of legislation. That means NONPARTISAN and APOLITICAL, NOT BIPARTISAN.
(2) “This is a law both sides will eventually totally embrace once they become more educated as to what this all means to everyone in America.Not just savings for everyone on their private plans…” “Savings on their private plans?” jopa, THERE WILL BE NO MORE PRIVATE PLANS. That, among other things, is a primary goal of the misnamed ACA. Small businesses and schools are already cancelling their private plans because Obamacare is making them unaffordable.
(3) “In the past children would have to endure excruciating pain until their parents would finally give in and take them to an ER and that really costs a lot more than a visit to a doctor.” What a crock of sh*t! Any parent who denies their child a visit for medical help under “excruciating pain” is no parent to begin with. Moreover, one does not set up an appointment for “excruciating pain.” That’s an ER candidate if I ever heard one.
Tell me, jopa, where are you going to find the thousands of doctors that will quit because Obamacare reduces their pay? How long are you prepared to wait for treatment of a condition that worsens over time but is currently deemed not important enough to treat immediately? As an elderly person, how will you greet the news that you will only be given substandard or ineffective medicines because the good stuff is deemed “too expensive” by the rationing board?
And when the IRS collects your penalty fine (NOT a tax) from your wages/salary each month because you opt out of the public program, how much less food will you put on your table or gasoline in your car?

Ms. Rosina:
Is a speeding ticket a tax hike? Is a parking ticket a tax act? What about penalties for failing to get your taxes in on time? No, all of these are penalties incurred for breaking the law. If someone want to free load and drive our premiums up because they don’t have heath insurance, I think they should be penalized. Alos, if President Obama was not an African-American president, would you question his authencity ? I don’t think so.
DaveG
Don’t worry about anything Steve L writes. There’s no doubt that he’s just another free-loader taking food stamps and welfare so he doesn’t have to work. Don’t get me wrong, because there are people who need both of those programs. But, this government has created generations of people that don’t know any other way. These people can’t understand that the way big government controls the poplulation is to keep them dependent on the government for everything. That’s why they are now spending millions of dollars (of our money) running ads to get as many people as they can signed up for food stamps before the election. Who do you think they’ll vote for???? Duhhhh!! Now, I think I’m getting ready to be called a racist because I’m white. Look up the word racist in the dictionary…….you’ll see a picture of a white guy. There should be a picture of Obama. The first thing out of his mouth when the Trevon Martin incident broke was, “If I had a son, he’d look just like Trevon.” He was turning this unfortutionate incident into a racial murder. I’m not sure if he said it, but I do know that CNN, ABC, NBC, all of Obama’s mouthpeices called Zimmerman a “White Latino.” Had he shot a white person, he would have been called a “LATINO.” Have you noticed, anything that the Democrats don’t like that happens, it’s always racial. It’s little wonder that too many blacks keep blaming all of their troubles on the bad white guys. Thank goodness for Bill Cosby.

Jopa,you are right about Obamacare helping less children from suffering but you should also include some senior citizens to since if a child or a senior citizen it seriously ill, under Obamacare, a panel of Obama’s select group will sit and discuss how much it will cost for these gravely ill children and senior citizen to stay alive and if the cost reaches over a certain threshold, this panel of government patronage workers will decide for these children and seniors to hurry up and die, so that is why I say you are right since they will not live long and their suffering will be over, and that is Obamacare in a nut shell.

I haven’t seen much of anything from the mystery man Vomitt Romney either.No high school diploma, tax returns,no certificates, baptismal papers or even the license for the dog he had strapped on the roof of his car.I haven’t even seen the pictures of his five daughters plucking turkeys on the Mormon commune in Northern Mi. near Pelkie.
Peabody
His full Name is: Willard Mitt Romney
He was Born: March 12, 1947 and is 65 years old.
His Father: George W. Romney, former Governor of the State of Michigan
He was raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
He is Married to Ann Romney since 1969; they have five children.
Education:
B.A. from Brigham Young University,
J.D. and M.B.A. from Harvard University
Religion:
Mormon – The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints
Working Background:
After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a Mormon missionary.
After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, he passed the Michigan bar exam, but never worked as an attorney.
In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity investment firm, one of the largest such firms in the United States .
In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost to Ted Kennedy.
He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.
Some Interesting Facts about Romney:
Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts, turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people.
Bain Capital also worked to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino’s, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others.
He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad’s gubernatorial campaign 1 year.
He was an unpaid intern in his dad’s governor’s office for eight years.
He was an unpaid bishop and state president of his church for ten years.
He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee for three years.
He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years.
He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.
Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men in our country but has given more back to its citizens in terms of money, service and time than most men.
And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income…. Just for comparison purposes, Obama gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%.
He will show us his birth certificate
He will show us his high school and college transcripts.
He will show us his social security card.
He will show us his law degree.
He will show us his draft notice.
He will show us his medical records.
He will show us his income tax records.
He will show us he has nothing to hide.
Mitt Romney’s background, experience and trustworthiness show him to be a great leader and an excellent citizen for President of the United States.
You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected. At least I know what religion he is, and that he won’t desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility. I know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the current regime has gotten us into. We won’t like all the things necessary to recover from this debt, but someone with Romney’s background can do it.
But, on the minus side, he never was a “Community Organizer”, never took drugs or smoked pot, never got drunk, did not associate with communists or terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to damn the US.
Jeff
What about his protesting for the war while making damn sure his deferments were in place? Is he the ultimate chicken hawk? Maybe that title still belongs to Cheney, but Romney’s definitely a contender.
Has Romney ever stood up to his Church concerning its racial policies? Those policies only changed in 1978 (Romney was 31) because no other schools would play BYU and it was costing the school lots of MONEY.
BTW: Romney’s memory problems aren’t limited to his inability to remember which position he held on which issue last year or 5 years ago, or when he ran for the Senate or for the Governorship of Massachusetts. Neither he nor his father (who I think was a great guy compared to his son) ever marched with Martin Luther King.
Romney was very effective at making money for his investors. They made money by locating companies they could load with debt and walk away with the assets. Yes, they also had an investment banking side and can tout success stories, but most of their business was a “chop shop” where the assets went to Bain, the workers got the shaft, and the company and its creditors were essentially looted. Romney’s entire record of business success depended on government policies and his ability to manipulate them. His use of debt was, in many instances, tantamount to fraud, but encouraged by the tax code.

It’s reasonable to assume that delusional people have exisited from the beginning of time. It does seem that as time passes they have become an ever greater portion of societies. So much so that, in 1948 the Italian newspaper L’Umanita felt they deserved their own classification !
It’s also clear that they were, at least fairly prominent , in the 1700s, enough so that Thomas Jefferson explained the only sensible method of dealing with them; ” It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use and authority of reason as to administer medicine to the dead “

I’m not quite as old as you, but I do remember Nixon. In fact, the summer after my first year in college I spent a lot of time watching the Watergate Hearings. Best political theatre at least until the 2012 Republican debates!
If you examine the performance of the stock market under Democratic and Republican Administrations going back as long as you want (say 100 years), there’s no comparison. Under Democrats, the market has gone up hundreds of % more than under Republicans. In any given year that might not mean much, but when it happens decade after decade for a century or more, there must be a reason.
As dishonest as Nixon was, at least he always looked like he was lying. Romney has that earnest, honest-looking face, but his dishonesty goes beyond Nixon. If he gets elected, we can only hope he’s lying about what he intends to do and won’t actually go along with the Crazies on everything.

“Voted for every Democrat President that has served from JFK and don’t have a DAM*ED THING TO APOLOGIZE FOR …”
nc anyone who votes straight party lines should be appoligizing every other breath for their abject stupidity. I look at each candidate individualy and vote for the one that best reflects my positions and beliefs. That means I have voted for democrats, Republicans, and even a third party candidate or two.
Vigilant
nc feels compelled to shout, “I WAS ALSO A HISTORY MAJOR IN UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOL AND MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT REPUBLICANS HARDING AND HOOVER WERE MIGHTY WEAK ALSO!!”
Odd that you would leave out Jimmy Carter. Oh, that’s right, only Republicans can be weak presidents.
Perhaps you believe that perjury under oath by the president is a strong point. If so, Clinton was your man all right. Or escalation of the Viet Nam war (let’s see, which Republican was that? Oh, sorry, that was LBJ).
And we’ll just conveniently forget that JFK was a coward in putting the kibosh on the Bay of Pigs invasion.
And we won’t touch upon Obama’s “blame everbody and everything except me” for the sorry state of affairs in this nation. And he’s been in office longer than Harding served.
If you were a history major, I have no doubt you were at the bottom of your class.
Vigilant
Well, well, nc finds an equally stupid friend in Jeffy, who tries to promulgate the myth that the Stock Market loves Democrats.
Jeffy, I’ve posted a couple of times the egregious lack of statistical sense and significance of that assertion.
OK, one more time:
“nc (never correct) says, “Where are YOUR FIGURES to prove it is a lie!”
I have absolutely no doubt that the figures are correct, as I have told you before. It’s not the figures that are incorrect, it’s the faulty assumptions and conclusions drawn from them. We went through this before some months ago, but either your reading comprehension or your IQ in general is so low that you’re congenitally incapable of grasping simple facts.
OK, one more time. The idiotic contention on that statistical “analysis” is based on a number of faulty assumptions, and leaves out more relevant factors than it actually uses. It is a classic case of lying with statistics, intended to sway simple minds like yours into believing the propaganda without question.
Here are the faulty assumptions:
It assumes that the president has magical powers to wave a wand and thereby affect the stock market. He has not. A myriad of factors affect the stock market in a capitalist economy, which are beyond the capacity of a president to affect. In the government-managed economy YOU would like to see, the chief executive would have much greater powers to effect change. Currently he has not.
It assumes that changes in economic direction due to administration policies have immediate or short term effects on the stock market. They do not. The economy is grindingly slow in responding to policy changes by the government. Thus, Clinton rode on the successes of Reaganomics, which brought us the longest sustained period of business prosperity in US history.
It tries to convey the glaringly false assumption that the health of the stock market is a barometer of the nation’s economic health in general. It is not. By your reckoning, the rebound of the markets under Obama would point to a booming period of prosperity. How’s that working for you? Tell your tale to the unemployed, the record numbers of those on food stamps and welfare recipients.
It goes wildly wrong in discarding one of the most important factors, the party which is dominant in Congress. Your “statistics” would “prove” something quite different than you assert if that influence were taken into account.
I know the above is difficult for you to understand. Get a dictionary, a tutor and psychological help to move beyond your one-dimensional “true believer”mind. Perhaps you might take a course in basic macroeconomics before you shoot your mouth off and once again look the idiot. You are fooling no one with a normal intelligence.”

nc has voted for “every democrat president since JFK”.
I guess that would include Lyndon B Johnson, who had a heavy hand in the murder of President Kennedy and then proceeded to get us entangled in VietNam with a loss of 59,000 American lives, including 3,000 in just one week.
I guess that would include Hubert Humphrey, also known as Hump the Horse***t Hawk.
And then there was Mondale, the idiot who said “my opponent won’t tell you he’ll raise taxes, but I just did.”…..and went on to the worst trouncing in electoral history…winning only his home state.

Am not a Republican. Am not a Democrat. Am not a name caller. Point well taken. Am keenly aware of Justice Robert’s final comment, and that DOJ should read DOL as justice is at best hit or miss disseminated via law. Like so many other Americans, I have not read nor tried to fully comprehend this new law, but rather rely on the experience gained from seeing what other new laws from the crony encrusted government have produced. It is, however, my hope, that as long as this law survives, it will bring some scrutiny to and shed some light on the miserable state of the American medical establishment as a whole – and bring a heavy hand down on Big Pharma and the FDA as well.

What the decision established and reinforced is that the congress has the power to lay and collect taxes to provide for the general welfare as the Constitution clearly says. The founders did not define general welfare and this ruling clearly means that health care is included in the general welfare and as health care is something all people use some of and is 17% of gnp how can any honest person argue against this ruling, it is clearly within the power of congress to do this and the court has upheld that.

JKF was killed because on June 4, 1963, a little known attempt was made to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the government at interest. On that day President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order No. 11110 that returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency, without going through the Federal Reserve. Mr. Kennedy’s order gave the Treasury the power “to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury.” This meant that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury’s vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation. In all, Kennedy brought nearly $4.3 billion in U.S. notes into circulation. The ramifications of this bill are enormous.

Well said General. You have to excuse people like Joe as they do not understand the concept of God and country or our Christian founding.
“A patriot without religion (Christianity) in my estimation is as great a paradox as an honest man without the fear of God. Is it possible that he whom no moral obligations bind, can have any real Goodwill towards Men? Can he be a patriot who, by an openly vicious conduct, is undermining the very bonds of society? The Scriptures tell us “Righteousness exalteth a nation. Sin is a reproach to any people.”

Not only did Obama COPY IT because he thought it was such a wonderful idea, but our House PASSED IT! I can always count on you libs to give me my daily laugh. The people of MA WANTED a health care system and Romney gave it to them. He always does what the people want. Those who live in MA who don’t like the action can just move to another state. With Obamacare, we have no choice other than to move to another country. wow. good idea….maybe I will do that…

Kerry @11:16 am: You write, “The people of MA WANTED a health care system and Romney gave it to them. He always does what the people want. ”
I would like to point out to you that America is NOT a Democracy (as you imply by stating, “He always does what the people want.”). A Democracy is two wolves and a sheep vote for what is for dinner. The U.S. is a Democratic-Republic that is supposed to be governed by the “Rule of Law”, aka The Constitution.
It does NOT matter what the majority wants if it contravenes the Constitution, which Romneycare and Obamacare do regardless of what the Supreme Court says.
One would do well to watch this video: , which concisely explains what a Republic is and why every other political system (including Democracies) always morph into a Totalitarian Oligarchy.
The thing that one should recognize is that when the same people (The Goldman Sachs crowd and the banking elite) who supported the “immaculation” (Yes, I am aware this is NOT a real word) of Barry Soetoro, son of Frank Marshall Davis, are now supporting Romney then nothing will change under a Romney regime other than the so-called left will be reawakened, and the so-called right will fall back asleep, just like they were under the Bush regime.
When the PTB control both parties nothing will change for the better, their plan for the NWO will still be implemented. The Constitution has been rendered moot, and thanks to Bush, his fear-mongering, and the Patriot Act the Bill of Rights have become a Bill of Privileges.
Please people: Get out of the FALSE Left-Right paradigm that facilitates your manipulation.
Dear GLB, a very good post indeed with only one issue, thats – that the Constitution & Bill of Rigts have been on the shelf since 1860.

I myself roll over to Windsor Canada and see a system that works to keep you healthy. And I am not the only US captive that does this. I mean, lets face it, for the amount of $ we spend on healthcare it can be said that we get the least bang for the buck. And the worst care for the dollar spent. And with insurance death panels making the choices for us (many times depending on status and cash reserves) starting with denial of services there will never be anything other than this interesting, but deadly, system for the middleclass and the poor (the 99%ers).
Those who say people are lining up in Canada to come here and get medical “aid” should ask Canadians how many would trade in there system for ours…..answer wold be about .01%……

That is the part that is unconstitutional. The reason it was passed because Obama bin Laden changed it to being a tax, also the chief justice was either going by politics or was bought off. Obama bin Laden already was threatening the SCOTUS before they deliberated on it. You also said about atheists? Never mentioned anything like you are talking about. Can atheists be patriots? No. Why?

Eric -
Sammie is absolutely correct! Atheists, for the very words you gave credibility to, do not, can not have morals. They only have momentary, temporally directed emotional reactions.
Morals are guides for living based on principles enunciated by the One who dreamed up and created the heavens and the earth and everything in them. Morals are His simple explanations of how to behave in order for people to exist without descending into chaos and utterly tear each other apart. He doesn’t go into huge explanations or in-depth soliloquies of how our bodies, hormones, nervous systems, physical and emotional needs fit with the environment, physical and spiritual worlds along with every other variable, pressure, enticement, evil or good we might need to comprehend to enable us to know what He knows so we can act responsibly.
No, He just expounds a simple rubric that exhorts us to behave in a certain way for our own benefit and (if we, also, worship Him in the manner which He says He will accept) He will work out the the minor details for us that protect us and keep things working smoothly.
Morals, manners and protocols are kind of like the oil in a sardine can. Since man is a gregarious beast we need a little lubricant. Anyone who refuses to observe them and worship the True God in the manner He requests is sort of like a Shiite suicide bomber in a Sunni wedding party.
So, your atheism disqualifies you from being a moral agent. You are at best an emotional animal responding to what ever you perceive to fulfill the greatest desire you want or have at the moment.
Having thoroughly divorced yourself from God there is really no justification for your existence. Go. Take care of that. One less porcupine fish in society won’t be missed.

I’ll bet your mom used to spank you a lot. Too bad it didn’t do any good. Also, what Mike and I have told you is right. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!
P.S. You need both love of country and fear of God to be a patriot.

At least she never dropped me on my head like yours. FOR LOGIC AND REASON. YOU NEED A FAIR AND OPEN MIND TO BE A TRUE PATRIOT.

Sheesh! Eric is starting to sound insane and thinks he is more than a mere mortal. How does God need your permission to do anything? So now you can tell God what to do? You are correct Mike and thanks for the support. It is hard trying to talk to these “people”, for it is like banging you head against a brick wall they are so dense. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!
P.S. You need both love of country and fear of God to be a patriot.

CHECK IT OUT
Fact is that RomneyCare as proposed and passed by Romney IS being grossly misrepresented by the entire media, which makes the general public speak authoritatively in ignorance. Fact is that “RomneyCare” had veto overrides by the predominantly Democrat Massachusettes legislature, AND fact is that individual mandate is legal on the state level, but not on the federal level. Fact is that Romney’s original plan was modified by the successor governor and the democrat legislature and Romney is getting blasted for what it IS, not what he proposed. Fact is that the original RomneyCare would have increased the individual’s ability to purchase the type insurance he wanted at an affordable price……. but Romney’s successor destroyed the plan with his changes. CHECK IT OUT.

A glance at the history of Romneycare in Massachusetts shows that Romney’s instincts and initiatives were for free-market reforms.
An 85 percent Democratic legislature thwarted his best efforts, and a Democratic successor as governor twisted the law’s trajectory dramatically.
Before Romney’s time, Massachusetts had enacted a number of laws that made its health care system needlessly expensive.
Romney agreed to the Democrat initiated mandate, believing that Massachusetts citizens would get the opportunity to purchase inexpensive, catastrophic plans.
But the Democrat controlled legislature, together with Romney’s successor as governor, Deval Patrick, changed the law.
The health reform law Romney introduced — as opposed to the one that was implemented by his successor — stressed competition, reduced regulation and expanded choice for the consumer.
Romney’s bona fides as a free-market advocate and critic of Obamacare are not undermined by Romneycare. He can rightly claim that he foresaw, and attempted to prevent, the consequences of heavy-handed government control of the health care market.
