Obama to sign the Demcare House of Cards
Image credit: Big Fur Hat w/thanks to Applecross Media
President Obama will sign the Demcare House of Cards today. But as I said over the weekend, while the House debate is over, this fight has only just begun.
More states are joining the core group of state attorneys general who are suing over the constitutionality.
The repeal-the-bill-movement is burgeoning.
There’s a Fire the 219 campaign.
Oh, and this:
For the first time, a CNN poll has found that a majority of Americans disapprove of President Obama’s job performance.
According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Monday, 51 percent of respondents disapprove of Obama’s job performance and 46 percent approve of it.
As Winston Churchill counseled: “In war, resolution; in defeat, defiance…”

» Barack Obama: Can we call him a Socialist now?
I read it. “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”
Many thanks for the link, aggiebc.
Now all Obama has to do is create a real crisis like a war somewhere to get people’s minds off of his agenda.
Maybe China will invade to get the money they’re owed.
***
Comrade Obama (PBUH) and his congressional minions will do a “hard pivot” to cram through the rest of their socialist / communist agenda before their “window of opportunity” closes in January 2011. They will not waste any time on improving the economy–which will degrade further as C(R)AP and TAX, SHAMNESTY, etc. are forced through congress.
***
The timing of the tax hikes is after the Nov. 2010 elections. The implementation of the more onerous ObamaCare fine and jail provisions will take place after The Messiah gets his chance for reelection in November 2012.
***
But more people without jobs, more businesses shutting down and / or reducing employee levels will hit home with all but the dumbest of the 53 percent who voted The One into office. Ditto with each year we do our 1040 tax forms and note how much more we are paying. And as we note how more money is being withheld from each check–if we are still employed. Or as gas prices climb due to bad energy policy.
***
Every action He is taking will just make the economic picture bleaker. The wild spending will undo Him–and his ilk–in the next few years. Jimmy Carter will lose his place as the worst president ever in the next few years–as Comrade Obama wins another Pyrric victory.
***
TeaParty them at all opportunities. Work for good conservative candidates in CLOSED PRIMARY elections. Support good candidates financially. One battle was lost this week–but the war will be much longer and will be won in the end.

In Hawaii we call that tourism – and yes, we’re trying to lure them here so they bring some of our money back.
Don’t the Chinese use “The Won” as currency. Sure it doesn’t have Obama’s picture on it? He is from Hawaii you know.
Anyone who lived through Jimmy probably never thought they would see him “surpassed” in their lifetime, but Nikita Obama has a flying start.
Don’t worry, Jimmy will still hold the worst ex-President title for awhile even if he loses the worst President moniker.
It does have Obama’s picture on it – though you can get a good argument that it’s also either Mao or Deng (pronounced Dung).
Thank you for that set-up (rimshot)…
Don’t forget the fact that we are spitting on our only democratic ally in the ME… Israel. They build new apartments on their own land (In Jerusalem…you know, their capitol???)and they are criticized for it. Now I hear that Netenyahu is in DC and Pubah will not allow a picture to be taken of the two of them together. Did I hear that right? Wow…is Obama afraid of having his picture taken with the PM of Israel because it would be like cavorting with the zionist evil Jooooos?? Muslums don’t like Joooos very much. Obama is starting to get careless in hiding his true origins.
All those little details – worst eligible to be President President; worst inelible to be President President will have to worked out by the rules committee…
I’m sure more than once, sitting at the feet of the few Commies in Hawaii as a little lad – Comrade heard first hand how evil they were.
Ain’t that the truth. Here we have Iran building a nuclear weapon and Russia dissing Hillary by announcing they’re going to help Iran and all Obama and Hillary can do is throw a diplomatic tantrum about those dangerous apartments being built in Jerusalem and a threat to world peace.
How can the Federal government force people to purchase a service?
I’ve heard the excuse that states require automobile insurance to drive a car, but that doesn’t really jive with the healthcare requirement. You only have to have automobile insurance if you CHOOSE to purchase a car. Even then, your payments are scaled to how you CHOOSE to drive the car.
We are all now penalized because we are alive.
Jimmy Carter is no longer the worst President in history.
Winston Churchill knew what it took to preserve liberty. Here is his speech paraphrased.
What it takes to preserve liberty:
“I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, Americans shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our liberty, to ride out the storm of imperial socialism, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone among nations. This is the resolve of every freedom loving man.
The citizens of the American republic, in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their constitutional rights, aiding each other to the utmost of their strength. Even though many have succumbed to the siren song of socialism, those who love liberty shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end. We shall fight where we stand. We shall fight on the seas, on the land and in the air. We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength to defend our liberties whatever the cost may be. We shall never surrender, and even if we are subjugated and starving, then we will carry on the struggle until, in God’s Good time, the might and power of the human yearning for freedom will bring liberation out of bondage, and liberty out of tyranny.
No, I should be estatic about the latest turn of events and have no worries because the liberal courts will overturn it and in November Republicans will win back the House & Senate because half of the country doesn’t want health care reform and Republicans did so well in the last elections.
I don’t see much evidence of that happening. Half of the country wanted it. The MSM is still cheerleading for the Dems. This is what change looks like. Yeah, I should be real optimistic here with the Dems in charge of the Executive, Legislative, Judicial, and Media branches.
Maybe you should prove me wrong instead of serving up platitudes. Dems just did something I thought they could not. They don’t appear to be worried about all these threats to their bill. It is now the law of the land. Do you think a court will issue a stay? The current facts make me very pessimistic. Unless we make a giant run on Congress, Nancy and Harry will still be in charge.

Love the “unemployed for 10 years” idiot who “can’t afford” a few hundred dollars in monthly premiums to be added onto his wife’s group health coverage, but who racks up $100,000 in medical bills, and is “trying” to pay them off while getting calls from collection agencies.
Financial illiteracy…and we taxpayers get to pick up the tab.
They can’t. Plenary police power is reserved for the states under the US Constitution. Obama doesn’t care but 150,000,000 Americans probably do.
(The others are in Mommie’s basement, asleep while their world burns.)
Haha, I love the crow.
I like that, pretty well says it all.
I like that, pretty well says it all.
NO! he’s a democrat.
On Drudge there is a report that Stupak sold his vote for Airport grants but the link leads to
So now it goes to the judicial branch, where the blindfold of justice has been slowly removed allowing political agendas to displace the Constitution.
This is no small issue for the states. Aside from the crushing financial burden that will be foisted upon them, this is probably the very last stand to preserve any shred of state’s independence and the 10th Amendment.
And depending on the determination of the courts, this issue has the potential to tear this nation to pieces. If the federal courts see nothing unconstitutional concerning an
issue that is a clear and unequivocal usurpation of state’s rights, those states that continue to object will be left with only one option – to break from the union. The choices will be relatively stark – stay and perish in economic calamity or take a chance on independence.
This may well be the straw that broke the camel’s back. And it would be naive to believe this thought did not cross the minds of those voting in favor of this legislation. Which might lead one to conclude that furthering a transformation to socialism trumped preservation of the union. To them, an acceptable level of collateral damage.
Yes, we’re ‘DINKS’–dual-income, no-kids.
I’ll be 50 this year. I have a job to pay taxes.
I am not to sure they thought all of this through. It seems they just wanted this health care package bad enough that fallout from it was not considered. After all, they “think” that this will be good for America. That means they don’t “think” industry would be destroyed, jobs would be lost, premiums will go up and States may sue or secede.
They did probaly know the deficit would not be reduced and knew the CBO score was Enron accounting and claims of dificit reduction was untrue and misleading but didn’t care about that.
Right now, I just feel heavy of heart. Defeated. Deflated. I am their slave. Because I am white (even though I am also Native American), I will always be blamed for the minorities not having opportunities. Is this the kind of country that my Irish, Dutch, and English ancestors wanted to come to?
I just feel like we have an uphill battle when not only our politicians but our fellow “citizens” (and I use that term loosely) have no morals, ethics, or standards. We’re now fighting people who want to enslave us (even themselves) just to get freebies that can so easily be taken away. These people are so STUPID in their arrogance, conceit, and self-importance that they think that the rest of us will just go away quietly, meekly into our shackles. They can think again.
The Dems consciously, deliberately decided to make the Constitution irrelevant. They will continue on this road from a representative republic until they’re succeeded in making us like a UK-style Social Democracy. And people like Stupak feel no guilt in their role.
I can’t believe this has happened. I’ve never felt this hopeless and sad (and I suffer from depression) and I feel like our country is circling the drain. We will become like Argentina with so much debt that we will have inflation for years to come.
Our country is a farce is so many ways. You can’t say a prayer in school or you’ll be harangued. You can’t own guns without raising the hackles of government. You can’t make choices for your kid’s education. And now, you can’t make your own healthcare choices.
I’m going to do something today that I think Americans need to support: a massive medical boycott of this new law. It will happen anyway with millions of doctors leaving but I implore more medical professionals to take a stand, not only for their patients, but their very livelihoods.
Even though I’m not very religious, for the first time in a long time, I PRAYED for this healthcare nightmare to not pass. It didn’t happen.
I will pray that Obeyme is impeached (he’s acting like a dictator now just representing about 15% of the population with this bill) and that Biden and Pelousy join him in orange jumpsuits and shackles.
I absolutely despised how Repubs conducted themselves before they were kicked out of office but what these socialists are doing now takes the cake. I don’t know if we can save our country before the massive debt bomb will explode and our country is no more.
I want them ALL (Dems and RINO’s) booted out of office.

Pearl Harbor was historic, but that was a foreign enemy. This time is historic because the enemy of the American people has become the national socialist democrat party and the house of representatives, or the hearse of our republic.
If you think this is about health care, you might take a new look at the IRS. It will run it. Yup, your friendly tax collector will be running your health care. It isn’t about good health for Americans, it’s about grabbing more money and power.
As someone who works as an Insurance Clerk for a major Children’s Hospital in Northern California, my perspective is the Congress Critters are insulated in the swamp back there. They are persuadable because they don’t get out of the swamp, er, DC much. They don’t understand the impact, oh they will say they do, but they are not grounded in reality. (I’m sure the weather is lovely in Nancy Pelosi’s world~ all the time.)
Medi-Cal, Medic-Aid in other States, is to have an increase in pt load due to the way this bill is written. We here in California are already laboring under millions of dollars of expenditure for illegal care. All because a lot of the Public doesn’t want to be percieved as being illetist and mean (cuz Mean People Suck, don’t ya know). Yes, the Mcal pt load will increase. And what do they pay for now? …not that much. I’m not in Billing but as I remember, Mcal pays worse than Medicare.
All these kids I work with thought it was such a good idea. I’ve started reminding them we have to get more familiar with Mcal, because the pt load is to increase…they all groan. They are in for an education. And I intend to gently insert the facts (cuz this is Academia and it is NOT PC to inject the wrong kind of politics).
I DO think a lot of Independents are Conservatives or lean that way (I do believe we are a Center Right Country). I think as they see they don’t have the money to pay for all this, they will vote their back pocket.
Yes, this hurts.
But man, if we can get the Supremes to yank out the most important linchpin of this entire Pelosian Monstrosity — namely: the Federal mandate that persons buy health coverge — it will all nicely self-destruct from that point on.
And after that, the Rachel Madcows of the Left will rapidly lose their smarmy, smug, self-righteousness.
Imagine the fun being able to take an IRS demand letter, and legally being able to tell them to shove it.
*I am saddened today, but will get over it; We must throw off this enemy within, by any and all lawful means necessary; I start tonight by attending a debate to sort out which consistent conservative should replace rat bastard Bart Gordon, who betrayed his country for a job at NASA.

You got it Gorebot. SCOTUS may tend to shy away from technicalities in the legislative branch, but not this time. You can’t tell me the timing of Justice Roberts calling out Barry on the SOTU smack down was a coincidence. I distinctly heard, “Go ahead, screw with the constitution Messiah, we’ll rip you an new one.” Watch for it.

Well, that ain’t good…
We may have to stiffen up ol’ John…
My UPS delivery guy asked the question – what if I was a ‘naturalist’ and will only accept herbs or shaman chants for medical treatment?
It got me thinking .. are not the MOST whacky of the whackiest liberals the ones into ‘natural health’ cures, ‘holistic’ medicine, Native American remedies, etc.?
What happened to them? They certainly are the kind who helped put Obama into office but you don’t hear a peep from them now? (Oh there they are! ..under the bus!)
As for me, it is against my religion to be FORCED to make a wager against my own health. That’s what health insurance IS – your premium is a wager. You are betting that you are going to get sick and the insurance company is betting that you will not get sick. It’s that simple.
Rags,
Interesting, he said he would not repeal the preexisting conditions part. Can the insurance company set a premium of $10,000 a month to cover some one who has cancer and will cost them $15,000 a month?
How can an insurance company charge a current premium such as $500 amonth when they know that person will cost them $15,000 a month. If many people witht that kind of cost structure go to the same insurance company, they will go broke as they collect $500 and pay out $15,000. If not broke, their profits will certaily diminsih to the point they no longer should undertake the risk involved to make a low return. They will either raise premiums on everyone else or go out of business leaving less competition and even higher premiums.
How can he say that is good and should not be repealed? I don’t see these companies just eating the extra costs they have now been ordered to take on.
Eliminating preexisting conditions is non-controversial???
Sorry John – you are WAAAAAY off base on that! If I cannot be discriminated against for a preexisting condition then WHY BUY INSURANCE? I’ll pay the fine and wait until I get sick to buy it. So will everyone else and that will be the END of the private health insurance industry John. That’s exactly what they want!!!
Your assessment is correct T-Bone. They will either charge those individuals more, raise rates across the board, lobby for even more subsidies….or fail. If Barry limits rates, which is no doubt somewhere in this bill, or coming in short order, the rest of the people who have a favorable history will be paying a lot more and the subsidies that are probably in there as well aka: ‘your taxes’, are going up more than already planned.
And if they somehow don’t cover the costs, they fail and get taken over by the Gov’t. Alas…. a public option via the back door. “We had to do something to save people’s health insurance companies”, Dems will say.
Sound familiar?
Rags – Newt was blowiing smoke out is nether region today talking about REPEAL! That’s not the answer. Correct me if I’m wrong, but repeal will take 67 votes in the Senate. 2/3 – right? Just getting the majority back is doable, but a long shot. Gaining 16 seats is fantasy land.
The best bet is to kill this in court on the constitutionality issue – starting with the commerce clause. As I posted previously, if the GOP is on their game, the reconciliation process can be struck down with the Byrd Rule.
My son is an attorney and tells me that the Senate is clearly in violation of three of these provisions, and two more are highly arguable. It is still possible to shoot this albatross down before it even gets airborn.
Tell me where I’m wrong.
BTW – You realize the Hindenberg disaster was a result of the vast right wing conspiracy. Oh, the humanity! Good blog my friend. Stay on top of it daily please.
How to boil a Frog:

Guess who the Frogs are?
Ribbit!!
Rat own, T.
When you have “mandates” like that one, you either underwrite them with Federal money, or you cannot call what private insurers offer “insurance”.
Insurance considers risk, assigns appropriate rates for given coverage to a given purchaser, AND refuses to accept some risks to preserve their ability to offer people affordable rates.
Now, COULD we afford to provide a federally underwritten health program for people who cannot get insurance because of a pre-existing condition? Very likely at a tiny fraction of what we see in ObamaCare. Does the central government have any constitutional mandate to do that? Not IMNHO.
T-bone, thats where we come in. Expect your insurance premiums to rise 300% to cover the “existing condition folks” . Obamacare was supposed to lower our premiums. This is part of the plan where the high cost of premiums will again bring Obama out to criticize the insurance compamies and eventually take them over.
Well, being the cock-eyed optimist I am…
I HOPE the courts will perform their duty under the Constitution, which is clear as day to me.
BUT…
They upheld McCain-Feingold, so….
There is the “starving it to death approach, where simple majorities in Congress could control expenditures…
BUT…
the GOP would take a lot of lumps over that. It would take a lot of resolve…CONTINUOUS resolve.
I think, in the end, this is up to us.
You know what I suggest, and it involves individual patriots doing hard stuff.
From Patrick Henry:
The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable — and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come!
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, “Peace! Peace!” — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
We cannot and will not stop until the words “Democrat and socialist” are spat out upon the ground.

I TOTALLY agree with this, and I’ll be sending it to John.
I’m confused. I thought the Barry smackdown was in response to SCOTUS shooting down most of McCain-Feingold.
If you are referring to Starve the Beast, I still can’t see it. It can only work if very significant numbers participate – and the risks are enormous. But you are right, it’s time for a stand.
Yes, a very solid analysis of that spineless chicken’s statements.
SCOTUS upheld McCain-Finegold, and it was the law of the land since its passage until very recently.
Starve The Beast is not the only way to fight this.
Refusing to comply is another.
One goal of Starve The Beast is a constitutional convention. MAYBE there is going to be a ground-swell around that notion without it…caused by this tyranny from the collective.
The most important thing we lack is visionary, decisive leadership. The beauty and problem with the Tea Party movement, is it must be by definition grass roots, i.e. not arising from or belonging to any established political group. I had made arrangements to be in DC on April 15 for the tax day demonstration. Since this was announced there have been two or three calls to the capitol – all on short notice, and predictably less well attended.
The answer of who is leading the GOP is painfully obvious. Nobody. Who will lead a constitutional convention, organize it, promote it and inspire millions to participate? Newt? ROFLMAO.

Re #144
I used to like Cornyn. Something about becoming head of the Senate Campaign Committee has turned his spine to jello.
BTW, speaking of Cornyn, as long as money sent to the RSCC can and will be used to support Olympia Snowe, and since they endorsed Crist over Rubio, I’ll help individual senators in certain races, but not a freaking penny from me for them.
Dems must have considered that insurance companies will have to take on the extra expense. Do I believe that they think the companies will just take reduced profits? No, I don’t.
I think they are planning on taking more from the rich to shore up the problem. That is always their plan. All programs they put in place are needed to “help” the people. If they need money to help the people, they will get it from the rich. There are fewer voters in that group.
I also don’t believe they realize the economic consequences of doing so. They don’t consider taking from the rich will negatively impact jobs because they believe that redistributing the wealth will allow the “poor” people that get it to spend it and generate jobs. They do not believe that taking from the rich reduces investments in business which would create jobs. I think they are dead wrong, especially since government takes a large chunk of that dollar they are redistributing.
Texas residents- please heap abuse and scorn on Cornyn, and threaten to support his primary rivals (2014, I think, unfortunately)

Michelle once you get back how about a piece on the not so good Rev. Jim Wallis (dear leader’s new spiritual advisor) and his welfare redistribution/marxist leanings??
Him and Ike both. They were West Point classmates. You’re point is well taken that you never know where the next historical leader will come from. I keep praying.
Indeed. We have LOTS of work to do, too.
Repeal/replace is the watch-cry.

Wanting to start on that tan for the summer? well it’ll cost you 10% more:
March 23 — Indoor tanning salons will charge customers a 10 percent tax beginning today in just one of the changes Americans will see as a result of the U.S. health-care overhaul signed into law
What else is hidden in this health care bill??
Since it’s a CNN poll, they weighted it in BO’s favor. With an unbiased sample, which would include not being considered a racist just because you aren’t thrilled with BO, his real approval number is way south of 40.
Read the Byron York story I link to in…
http://hindenblog1.blogspot.com/
Didn’t Biden make the statement they’d either be in control of insurance companies or would regulate them.. Sorry, I’m cooking and don’t have the time to look up the link.
Great article Ragspierre!! nicely done…
Repeal I can get behind, replace sounds suspiciously like GOP weasel speak for GOP socialized medicine, the old Dem-lite soft shoe. “We can run it better, if we tweak it a little here and there…”
I want liberty, the GOP has not demonstrated an understanding of the concept. Smaller government healthcare isn’t the answer.
Limiting government is the answer.
Son, I lived through FDR.
I never thought I’d live to see him surpassed…
Der Cockroach & his droppings leading congress have done more damage to Our Country than FDR did.
I was feeling down, then I decided that, since Healthcare is now A Right, and you cannot limit a Right, (see abortion, ie “A Woman’s Right To Choose…”, see Civil trials for Terrorist, Citizenship rights for anyone who even considers sliding over the border,,, you get the idea…), as a 9-decade citizen I will push for & sue for my Right to the same healthcare Cockroach has,
After all, unless we are slaves, there can be no 2nd class citizens. I wonder if SCOTUS will allow me standing in that?
Anyway, our family has decided that since we don’t want Cockroach to have it for his waygu beef, we’ll throw our money out that porthole.
What we need is for a conservative voice to be in charge of one of the 3 big Networks. ABC, CBS, or NBC. Poor people do not usually have cable and do not have the ability to see Fox news and the truth. They are tied to the 3 networks all of whom consistantly spew liberal talking points.
Look at voting in inner city urban areas- all Democrat. The big cities like LA, NYC, Boston, Chicago, Detroit rely on lemmings to only see NBC. They train them early and often to see Republicans as rich white (yes they use racism as a tool) people who want everyone to fend for themselves and don’t want to help anyone out and Democrats as the friend of the working man who are constantly working to help the little guy.
That belief system is in full swing nowadays. Until Republicans get their message out there over the Dems bashing, Dems will be favored sons for the majority of voters in inner cities.
How do we get control of one of those stations so the people can see some balance on non cable programming? Heck, we can’t even get balance on NPR.
Thanks so much! Please put the site on your favorites!
Fox IS NOT truth. Better than their counterparts, to be sure. Bit they are on board the cheap labor express, watch their coverage of the amnesty issue, fairly unbalanced.
*P-BO continues his purposeful destruction of our country through increased dependency; I look at Nov. 2, 2010 as End Dependence Day!
Stupid is as Stupak does…
So did Obama lie to Stupak?
Must be.
Gee, who would have ever thought he might do that……..?
Black folks are going to be next to experience the Obackstab, amnesty will make their already high unemployment situation lots worse.
McRINO was just on Hannity. He said that because of the way the Democrats handled the passage of Obamacare he would refuse to work with them on any legislation except in the case of a national emergency.
I wonder how he is going to sell a yes vote on the Graham-Schumer amnesty bill as a national emergency issue.
Stupak got stupaktimacated.
*Remember the great movie “Kingpin” with Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray(playing Roy Munson) where after Murrays’ character had Woody’s hand mangled, they said he got “Munsoned”; Well I guess the fools that voted for P-BO got “Stupaked”.
Guys…
Stupak was NOT duped. He caved, after selling out for a tiny mess of pottage.
He doesn’t even have the cover of being stooooopid.
The whole “executive order” deal was a very small, gauzy fig leak.
If you can stand THAT visual…
Thanks to his poll numbers versus JD Hayworth, he’s become a born again Conservative.
Given this day, in 1775, by Patrick Henry.
It’s that “In Victory — Magnanimity” thing that keeps coming back to bite us in the ass…
Remember how Bush forced the Senate Republicans to share power in 2001? That worked out real well…
I never thought I would say this, but Obama makes me long for the buffoon days of Carter. For all Jimmy’s faults he never worked to destroy this country.
What we need is a Constitutional amendment to bar Obama and his minions from forcing us to buy government-approved health insurance. We need 36 states. Who can start this movement?

Somewhere in heaven John Wayne is weeping.
A stupid, and half informed electorate reap what they sow. I love all the indies and others that say now “we didn’t want this“. Well just what the h*** did they think they were voting for?? Pat Buchanan has said many times that “we are an unserious people living in serious times”. Agreed. We live in a time when a large segment of voters get their news from Jon Stewart and Lettermen, and cant wait to find out what Lady Gaga is up to lately. Sheep to the slaughter at the mercy of morally bankrupt dem politicians and their equally culpable counterparts in the traitorous corrupt media. I cannot help but feel totally pessimistic about America’s future.
We were a different country then that would not have accepted that. That is what we all miss; a time when people actually loved their own country, and still believed in individualism. However, make no mistake that the old peanut farmer is a socialist through and through. Carter would be just as radical in the WH as Obama is, if he were president today.
I’d listen to Jules Crittenden, who says“:
I don’t believe that Carter was interested in total power, as Obama is today. Carter didn’t have much of an agenda because he was overwhelmed by the office. Obama, too, is inexperiened as Carter was, but he has the goal for the quick socialization of this country. Nothing else matters. Back in the ’70s, the socialists/marxists weren’t ready yet.
Not hardly pilgrim. When you’re backed up to the wall you whine or fight. Let’s go with the latter. This thing is not even in Senate wreckonciliation yet. There are dozens of ammendments – not to mention procedural and constitutional challenges in the pipeline. It may even have to return to the House for another vote! (If any ammendments/emendations happen) The constitutional and state sovereignty lawsuits are just starting.
When (not if) we win Congress back, the next step will depend on ’12. If we beat Barry – we repeal it. (Barry would veto a repeal, requiring 67 votes to override. Not realistic) If Barry’s reelected, we gut the monstrosity by simply defunding it, using…TA DA!!! Reconciliation! It would work. When (not if) it is proven to be a deficit monster, it will be defunded. End of story.
Seriously dude…when did John Wayne ever lose? Lets keep focussed on the job at hand and get to work on hte elections. As in now. Do something TODAY.
I must disagree. Carter is in total lockstep with Obama. Some socialists may be motivated by power; others just think that people are too stupid to do right by themselves without the government leading them. Whatever the motivation, the result becomes the same; a centralized government behemoth telling us how to live our lives. Carter is all about that.

I completely agree with you, my take on this is, what has been done and the idiology behind the people that live in the greatest country on earth and want to destroy it. An electorate that voted for people like this, colleges and universities that teach everything other than american values, a lame stream media that are noting but propaganda hacks and a sub population that does nothing but hold their hand out with no pride what so ever in themselves. Thats what I think Wayne is weeping for. We will fight, oh yes we will – that for me is a given because will die on my feet than live on my knees.
Sbw999, I can thank Carter for one major thing. He made a huge difference in my life. I was a member of his inaugural staff (minor) and was present when he walked down Penn. Ave.. I had the chance to meet him, too. His policies, once in office, swung me from being a leftist, to being a conservative, by the time he left office. I don’t think that was the result he wanted.
As I learned more and more about our history and the common sense of the FFs, the more I fell in step with Reagan.
Jimmeh vs Barry?
Jimmeh – Georgia Southwestern College/United States Naval Academy
Idealogy – Liberal/big government farm boy.
Barry – Columbia/Harvard Law
Idealogy – Liberal/big government intellectual elite.
IMAO, both drains lead to the same sewer.
The plurality in America is right of center. IMHO, ’08 was an anomaly. The indy’s were anti Bush, anti Washington, anti politicians etc. Barry sold them the Hopey/Changey/We are the World crap because he was a better pitch man than McCain. Now there is HUGE buyer’s remorse. Lowest 1st year approval in history. Personally, I believe a dynamic, charismatic, visionary conservative would kick his skinny butt in ’12.
Who and where is this person? I’m thinking in the last couple weeks a few intriguing prospects rose to the challenge with guts, style and conviction. Ryan and Coburn? Who knows?

Wow. Just. F-ing. Wow.
This audio of Rep. Dingell needs to be played 24 x 7 in every Congressional district until the elections.

There it is for all to see. You play the video and simply ask, “Do you want that to be the America you, your children and your posterity live in?”
If you ant this stopped, vote them out.
Guys…
Voting people out is good, but not enough.
