“He was guilty of nothing, except that he earned his own fortune and never forgot that it was his.“ The concept contained within that phrase is what has set America apart, and made her the greatest nation on Earth. And it is the systematic attack on that concept, that this website is dedicated to fighting. This website is NOT devoted to making people “wealthy”, but rather to fighting the notion that the “wealth” they DO have needs to be “redistributed”.

I really can’t say if it will pass or not at this time. A majority of Americans oppose it. MSM continues to promote it.
I think in the long run it will come down to Blue Dog Democrats and your buddies, the RINOs. Are the Blue Dogs more afraid of Nancy Pelosi or the voters? Do RINOs realize how much things have changed since the last election with Tea Parties, NY23 and courageous people like Bachmann and Palin willing to oppose the Republican if the candidate does not represent conservative values?
The next three years will be very interesting.

That article is nothing but wishful thinking.
It will be rammed through, soon.
Harry will be a lib saint in perpetuity, so losing his seat is irrelevant.
The others will calculate that they can sneak it past the ignorant and somnolent American people, and they are absolutely positively correct.

Despondently I must agree with PG.

At one point nobody thought Obama would become president. The only thing promoting him was himseff and the MSM.

All this is kabuki theater. It will pass, easily, when the time comes.
But the public hates this, by significant margins, and it will add urgency to getting rid of them next year. Obama’s main focus will be on tilting the election in spite of public outrage, and mass unemployment.
This, combined with the supine and useless GOP, means we cannot assume we will get relief from this socialist nightmare at the ballot box.
We will have to resist on a personal level, be seeking out our own doctors and negotiating with them, and refusing to participate in this nonsense.
Meanwhile, we will urge our state governments to opt out, if necessary by passing their own laws.

I can’t imagine any state government opting out and forgoing large amounts of federal money.
Our chains have been forged.

What is this state’s right idea you speak of? A novel concept, indeed. Got any literature?

“I can’t imagine any state government opting out and forgoing large amounts of federal money.”
Very true PG. Remember when Palin tried to refuse Stimulus money and the Alaska state legislature went nuts?
[9]
Unfortunately, the Federal Government has continued to grow every year since 1933 regardless of which party was in power. The only time the GOP held the presidency and both houses of congress was from 2001-06 and Republicans spent like liberals.

Remember when Palin tried to refuse Stimulus money and the Alaska state legislature went nuts?
That was free money. This time it will be similar to an unfunded mandate, or an under-funded one.
I think there will be a difference.

Do as I say. . . . .
Obama won’t put his family on ObamaCare.
Obama won’t vaccinate his own children from H1N1, but he had his health secretary demand we ge vaccinated.
Obama flies in a private 747 to vacation spots while demanding CEOs not fly their private jets to business meetings.
Obama’s white house doesn’t use mercury light bulbs–too dangerous for the POTUS, but they are mandated for the rest of us.
Obama won’t have any of his compensation, nor any of his friend’s, but he has demanded, and gotten the compensation of numerous CEO’s slashed.
Obama won’t send his kids to public school, but demands we all do.
I’m sure there’s much more. . . .

Good post, CT.
This is statist liberalism, rule by the self-anointed elites.
I simply cannot believe that the rank-and-file GOP have not stood up and demanded that, before passing such a healthcare bill, that members of Congress should agree to be subject to the same rules.
That they have not done so means they are craven cowardly hypocrites and just as bad as the Dems.

Very true PG. Since Reagan left office, Republicans have been cowards who have stood for nothing. We have not challenged our leaders. We bought into the myth that electing a Republican was a good thing (no matter who that Republican was and what that Republicanhe/she believed in) in effect blurring the differences between the two parties.
Hopefully with the Tea Parties and NY23, things are starting to change.
[15]
When we get assigned to our collectives, maybe then we’ll start demand what is rightfully ours–you know, our fair allotmment of seed packets so we can feed ourselves and for the gov’t farm we’ll be toiling, enough government issue blankets instead of heat, etc.

These are idle fantasies which will never come to pass.
The nation as a republic is saved or is lost as a soft tyranny.
