Obamadoesn'tcare


Well, well, well. The Obamadoesn'tcare healthcare diktat passed muster with the Supreme Court. I'm a bit surprised by that.

I'm not surprised with the response. Responsible Americans are not liking this. Rightfully so. They see what is coming: increasing taxes to pay for the healthcare of the irresponsible.

Don't think responsible, hard-working, normal Americans don't know this? Try this Market Talk response earlier in the day:

*****
 11:34 EDT - The Supreme Court's health-care decision doesn't bode well for restaurants. Industry groups have said the insurance-coverage mandate will cost them a lot of money in labor expenses and reorganization of their operations. Heavily franchised chains may see a bigger impact as higher costs could make it more difficult for franchisees to build or buy more locations. In the S&P 500, recently hit Chipotle (CMG) is down another 3% while YUM falls 2% and Starbucks (SBUX) drops 1.5%.
*****

Inevitable fallout from the Obamadoesn'tcare diktat includes higher prices to cover fewer employees. Oh, things will settle out, and our grand citizens from the land of left-believe will tell us that all the fuss was made up. But things will settle out a few notches below our current standard of living, as it always does. The liberal elite will get richer, and the rest of America will face fewer amenities.

So, my friends, want to see where your healthcare dollars are heading? Try this bizarre behavior on for size:

  • Bug chasing. Another disturbing phenomenon among some MSM (men who have sex with men) involves HIV-negative MSM who actively seek HIV infection by engaging in high-risk sexual activities with infected male partners. A 2003 Rolling Stone article brought national attention to “bug-chasing,” which the article described as “an intricate underground world that has sprouted, driven almost completely by the Internet, in which men who want to be infected with HIV get together with those willing to infect them.” Carlos, a “bug chaser” who claimed to have had several hundred sexual partners and said he regularly had sex with three or four HIV-positive men a week, told Rolling Stone, “I know what the risks are…But I think it turns the other guy on to know that I’m negative and that they’re bringing me into the brotherhood. That gets me off, too.” (Freeman, Geoffery, “Bug Chasers: The men who long to be HIV+,” Rolling Stone magazine, February 6, 2003.)

    Our Obamadoesn'tcare diktat tax dollars at work.

    The TEA kettle is on, just a matter of time now.

    America's Founding Freedom


    "The Puritan movement was essentially democratic. Every individual stood without distinction of rank or fortune before his God... Here, and not in Rousseau or the teachings of French philosophy, is the origin of the doctrine of the rights of man, and the establishment of government upon these principles was the beginning of a new social order." -- E. Parmalee Prentice, "The New opportunity of the Small College," Harper's New Monthly Magazine, 123

    "Puritanism was not merely a religious doctrine, but corresponded in many points with the most absolute democratic and republican theories. It was this tendency which had aroused its most dangerous adversaries." -- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, New York: Appleton, 1904

    The March to Tyranny


    "If the president of the United States can choose to enforce or not enforce a law because he likes them or doesn't like them, what about us?  We don't have the ability to choose which laws we obey or not.  Without consequence.  He does.  The only consequence for him is at the ballot box." -Rush Limbaugh, 6/25/2012

    "It's a dictator's wet dream to do what Obama is doing.  If he doesn't agree with the law, voila, it's no longer enforced.  It may as well not even exist.  That's who he is, folks." -Rush Limbaugh, 6/25/2012

    Liberal Racism


    "Abortion is the white supremacist's best friend." -- Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., on a Department of Homeland Security domestic terrorism report that links pro-lifers and hate groups.

    King said, "To say, as the Department of Homeland Security does, that white supremacists have exercised a 'longstanding exploitation of social issues such as abortion' tells me that either the government, the supremacists, or both are clueless about abortion's impact on the black community."

    Supreme Court Justices Confirm Christian Faith


    "The real object of the First Amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahomedansim, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government. It thus cut off the means of religious persecution (the vice and pest of former ages), and of the subversion of the rights of conscience in matters of religion which had been trampled upon almost from the days of the Apostles to the present age... Probably at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, and of the first amendment to it... the general, if not the universal, sentiment in America was that Christianity ought to receive encouragement from the State, so far as was not incompatible with the previous rights of conscience and the freedom of religious worship. An attempt to level all religions and to make it a matter of state policy to hold all in utter indifference would have created universal disapprobation, if not universal indignation." -- Joseph Story, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, sections 1874, 1877.


    "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." -- John Jay, first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, October 12, 1816.
