So as a mans actions are done, so the truth of his character is presented unto the larger world for all to see and understand.

For too long substance has been allowed to rule over honesty and integrity, its far past time to return to telling not only what we do, but why we do it and living it as well. Across the board all need to be held to account for their deeds, especially among the political elitists who have forgotten they work for us, and not the other way around.

Glad to see that the Whole Foods company will stand against Obama-care, it will only be a matter of time before the administration arranges via regulation and fines to crush these private health centers as well, to try and force everyone to depend fully upon the government backed medical system.

Honor, Truth, and Integrity are things that make Good People that Stand-Up for what’s Right!!!

But, it is amazing how many people of the America & the World that are Lacking These Virtues (and of course it is hard to enslave people who understand this, that is why they are Destroying These Virtues to Control People).

How come we can’t make enough people see the light…?

Thanks, John Mackey for doing what is Right!!!

Unfortunately a lot of his employees did what was wrong and voted for Obama.  I really resent the fact that they did so and are not going to have to live with their health care consequences of their stupidty.  Don’t get me wrong.  I am glad there are folks like Mr. Mackey who will do what is right.  I just feel that there needs to be adverse consequences for the aholes who put Obama back in office.

Capitalism rocks! Take that Marxist!

Wish I could say I worked for either one of these smart men rather than be paying the $1500 a month health insurance that pays absolutely nothing towards any of my doctor bills.  Who can afford to pay the deductible when the monthly cost is so high? 

Draxx – we cannot, nor ever shall be able to, make people see the light. We can only show them the light and let them decide on accepting truth or rejecting it in the end. 

In my opinion, for what its worth, I think many people are so confounded when the truth presents itself that it shakes their world to the foundations, and only a few will step forward and accept what is truth to sweep away the lies.

Capitalism rocks, as long as business owners get to take advantage of taxpayer-funded roads, transport systems, inspections, quality assurance, police protection, etc. etc.
You didn’t build this by yourself.

You resent the fact that they voted for the candidate of their choice?
Okay, fascist.

Stand all you like, it’s the law. Break it and be subject to penalties. 

Taking care of the needy is what’s right. That’s what Jesus said.

This reminds me of Sam Walton and what WalMart used to be.         

true. But that comes from a person’s heart – not from their wallet. The corruption and waste that comes with any gov’t program is the problem with our system. People feel they are already helping the less fortunate b/c they are being taxed. They don’t get involved themselves and THAT is what changes hearts.

Capitalism created the financing to build those roads, bridges, police departments, etc. It didn’t just pop up out of thin air. The infrastructure could not have been built without the tax money paid by capital ventures, employees and business in general. They created the tools, the technology, the knowhow. Yeah – they did build it themselves, in an incremental way over the last tow centuries.
 This administration seems to be gong out of its way to destroy what has been built.

I believe businesses pay their share of taxes.

the penalties are cheaper than the premiums. Do some research.

Taxpayers and the government paid for those things.

“ This administration seems to be gong out of its way to destroy what has been built.”

That’s absurd. Bush destroyed the country, but now we’re on the way back.

When Obamacare kicks in, your health insurance bills will be much less.

capitalism equals work, equals prosperity ; OBAMACLAUS equals low esteem ignorant social failures also known as nig6666ers.

clarification;  when I gleefully use the term ni666ger, I am referring to the dictionary meaning prior to the advent of the renown terrorist revisionism  of Bill Ayers; also known as the chicago a666hole.

Sure Knowitsome, but the problem is there are little that are needy and too many like you who are Gimme….Gimme….

 Lol, Knowitsome, the Company that I work for already sent out letters before Christmas that our premiums will be going up and all us employees will be paying an additional 8% out of our paychecks to cover for Obamacare. Now if they take more from my take home pay, I do believe that’s a negative unless you are a Liberal. My friends that work at Walmart are having their hours cut so they fall below 28 hours a week to avoid Obamacare costs. Are my friends now taking home more money or are they taking home less and will need to find more part time work? Everywhere Obamacare has increased costs and passed the pain onto working Americans.

 Knowit does not need bothered with the costs of Obamacare. His stuff is free thanks to the producers.

“Only one thing can save us. We have to increase our mastery of the world. All this damage has come about through our conquest of the world, but we have to go on conquering it until our rule is absolute. Then, when we’re in complete control, everything will be fine. We’ll have fusion power. No pollution. We’ll turn the rain on and off. We’ll grow a bushel of wheat in a square centimeter. We’ll turn the oceans into farms. We’ll control the weather—no more hurricanes, no more tornadoes, no more droughts, no more untimely frosts. We’ll make the clouds release their water over the land instead of dumping it uselessly into the oceans. All the life processes of this planet will be where they belong—where the gods meant them to be—in our hands. And we’ll manipulate them the way a programmer manipulates a computer.“And that’s where it stands right now. We have to carry the conquest forward. And carrying itforward is either going to destroy the world or turn it into a paradise—into the paradise it was meant to be under human rule.”

from: Ishmael by Daniel Quinn

so… what is the truth?

which marxist are you referring to? or are you referring to marxists?

So are they hiring?!?!

 Obama care goes against the constitution, therefore, it breaks the law, the penalty for Obama Care will result in civil war.

 Taking care of the needy, just to gain political advantage over your opponent, is not in the principle of what Jesus taught. I think what his idea was… was to “teach a man how to fish”, therefore, that person can take care of himself and not be dependent on the public dole for a lifetime, watching free cable on his new large-screen tv, all the while smoked out of his mind on prescribed medical cannabis. Keep trying though Knownothing, hang around here long enough and who knows, you might eventually learn something, God knows you certainly deserve a break from the illogical liberal brainwashing you’ve received.

Libtards like knownothing don’t believe in Jesus. He’s an idiot.

 on our way back to the stone-age

Bush unemployment never went above 7 1/2%, more revenue was collected during the Bush administration.  It was people like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd that destroyed the Country.

The Government didn’t pay for anything, it’s the taxpayers who pay for everything.

You’re a Libtard and an idiot. You don’t know shit.

Wow, I always thought Whole Foods was a liberal place. Now I’m glad I shop there! (They have awesome food!) It’s true, Capitalism is amazing, the only thing that works and ever will work. We shouldn’t take it for granted. I hate it how liberals blame it for everything.

Granted greed and corruption are the problem . But just becuase you work for the state does not eliminate greed and corruption . But it can insulate the enterprizer from being forced to compete with other greedy and corruptible captalists .  So the more power the state has ultimately decreases competition , which tends to increase corruption and costs for evreyone

apatalism made this country great, but Obama is hell bent on destroying it

The interview was good, and if he is so interested in the shipping of lobster why is he NOT interested in stopping GMO foods in his stores? 

On a related theme…

If you have not done so already, please visit breitbart.com and view the inspiring, uplifting, funny, and “speaking Truth to Power” video at:

We need to be certain that we understand that he said the needy not the wanty. He also said that you should work lest Ye not eat. It also says it is a sin to be slothful. I agree 100% that it should be in everyone’s heart to help those who CANNOT help themselves. One of the greatest problems with being able to do that are the people in our society who are perfectly capable of providing for themselves but just by choice and fraud live on the dole, who take from those who work through Government entitlement programs which is paid for by taxing the incomes of the working people to the point that it takes away or reduces the capacity the people would have to voluntarily help the needy.

People, especially the younger ones, are having the ability to recognize TRUTH “programmed out of them.”

We are each BORN WITH a conscience (the ability to recognize and accept and live the TRUTH), but it is quickly perverted and distorted in today’s “anything goes” world. Without proper parenting, spiritual and moral guidance, and a decent educational system, things are not likely to turn around any time soon.

Each one who still has access to a conscience (and recognizes the difference between “the Ring of Truth” and the “hollow, discordant, jarring noise of LIES”) must take it upon himself or herself to LIVE THE TRUTH and be an example to others. IMO.

He also said “The poor you have always with you.”
He probably meant we will always have opportunities to help others, and the biggest help one can offer is showing them that POVERTY begins in one’s consciousness, i.e., being convinced of LACK (which is the LEFT’s monotonous theme to those already poor in spirit: “YOU LACK, and it is the FAULT OF THE RICH/CONSERVATIVE/OLD/WHITES,” etc. The real way to HELP the “poor in spirit” is to teach them that they have the potential to change their destiny.

See this inspiring video on Breitbart for a living, shining example of this:

Actually, I think they believe they are Jesus, go figure?

Pull your head out of your butt and get some oxygen to your poor brain. Even the CBO has told us in the last week or so that EVERYONE’S healthcare costs are going up. Obozo knew that and so did Botox Nan, no matter her fake outrage when Joe Wilson correctly called Obozo a liar.

Go back to your OWS buddies and stop talking with the adults. Isn’t there a cop car for you to crap on, libtard?

The company I work for just changed our healthcare plans in anticipation of the enema that is Obozocare. To help us out, the opened a clinic that is free for all employees and their families that also gives out standard medicines free of charge. I’m glad that I work for a company that is doing all it can to help us make it during these years when an f’ing Marxist and his Botox-brain-damaged f’tards are doing all they can to destroy this country…

Good interview — great idea about the doctor’s office. If there’s downtime for the doctor there’s no reason WF can’t offer a membership to area businesses or to ex-employees.
Also, I never got that Rand was against charity at all — I think she said don’t kid yourself you’re being selfless when you do it (look at me! I’m charitable! Admire me!) and that she opposed the idea that we have a moral duty to serve other’s interests before our own.  Think of the emergency pamphlet in the airplane: put your oxygen mask on first, THEN help others. You have to close your own loop before you can link up to bolster others.
Also, the most money grubbing curmudgeon who pushes good employees away ends up serving people better than the guy who bankrupts himself and his business via purported “charity” and “good will”.  
And it’s not like these are new concepts — bible mentions teaching people to fish for a damn good reason. Look at Africa: what charity has done is fund dictators and warlords while simultaneously destroying entrepreneurship and the chances of building capital and local economies while famous people stroke their egos over all the “good” they have done. What would really help Africa? Buy their goods — support their businesses. And invent something that improves standards of living and sell it!

Lead by example. Attraction not promotion. Do the right thing whether someone is looking or not. Do the next right thing. Maintain a feeling of gratitude no matter what. Help others without doing it for them. A win-win is when both parties feel better after signing a deal then before they started discussing it

 Look, I don’t agree with Obozocare either, but seriously you don’t do our side any favors by posting this nonsense.  The Constitution says the US Supreme Court IS the final arbitrator of what is and is not constitutional — and they found it to be structured as a tax, and did NOT approve it as an individual mandate.  That’s the fact — get over the “goes against the Constitution” crap — it doesn’t go against it.  The Constitution’s own process validated that.

 And Nonothingsome is a empty-headed moron.

I heard on a Christian talk radio show that the Department of Homeland Security bough over a millio rounds of hollow-point ammunition and thousands of automatic assult riffles. Would you please investigate and report on this issue?

Give man a fish… teach a man to fish.”
 
The problem is that the state (all levels of government) is running a “free” sushi bar, and what we need is a bait and tackle shop.
 
In reality, the sushi bar starts at least by age 5 in kindergarten. For many, it start much earlier than that, in “Headstart” (which excludes a head start*, but includes a ball and chain). Subsidized day care gets others before they’re potty trained.
* The positive effects of Headstart disappear by age 8.
 
What government has done to the family would be considered an assault were it any other entity doing it. They have weakened the ties between generations using antiSocial inSecurity (Don’t worry about your aging parents, we’ll tax your neighbors’ children and take care of that for you). They have undermined the connections between children and parents using government-run, tax-funded welfare schools (don’t worry about the obligation to educate your children, we’ll tax your neighbor and take care of that for you). They have corroded the link between fathers and their children’s mothers using welfare (dont worry about feeding and clothing your children, we’ll tax the guy down the street and take care of that for you).
 
This constant and powerful eroding effect creates what government desires above all else: a populace that needs it to grow. And this is by design, for government’s goal is to grow in power and scope. But strong families do not need (or want) much government. Weak families demand it.
 
Mr. O’bama, will there ever be any Jobs?

Well said.

The US Supreme Court was not established to make law…but to uphold existing law. The reason Obama-Care became law was due to the influx of an overwhelming liberal body who make up today’s run-a-muck-supreme-court. The US Government has no validity in its bogus claim that any commodity what-so-ever can be forced down the throats of the population.

Included in the new American Healthcare Plan – Free Sterilization (for 15 year old girls) – Abortion – Birth Control and even Free Cannabis to name but a few of the bizarre contents.

These not only go against the grain of what our Founding Fathers envisioned but they absolutely go against the ideas and principles set down by God himself for mankind to adhere to.

On the contrary, Obama and team (especially Nancy Pelosi) have disregarded these honorable Godly principles and are in the process of playing God themselves. By doing this, they have set this nation on a path to destruction.

Say’s Kimberly Strassel (from the Wall Street Journal) after Obama-care passed, “It was dirty deals, open threats, broken promises and disregard for democracy that pulled Obama-care to this point, and yesterday the same machinations pushed it across the finish-line”

We must remember that not one Republican voted for the bill, even 34 Democrats deserted ranks and voted against it. The bill narrowly passed by just seven votes (219 to 212) Without the frantic persuasion by Obama and Pelosi in the final days – calling on anyone who owed them a favor, this unconstitutional new healthcare package would have been wrapped up and set out to the road as the trash it is.

You may call back-door deals made in secrecy “LEGAL” – I say its a load of crap and anyone who buys into it is foolishly blind to reality.

If you are a employer in the US it’s your obligation to “Provide” healthcare to your workers if you do not choose to do that take your business to another country and don’t ever come back. Also please keep your superstitions (religious believes) in your home and don’t force them on your employees

See, now you are just spouting political talking points instead of actually referring to the Constitution.  Whether any Republican voted for it, or how it was written, is completely irrelevant to constitutionality.  Furthermore, the Supreme Court DID NOT “claim that any commodity what-so-ever can be forced down the throats of the population” — get your facts straight!  The Supreme Court DID find (not claim) that the Constitution DOES allow the government to “force any tax down your throat” it wants to.  I’ve also studied the Founding Fathers extensively — I’ve found NOTHING with respect to “Included in the new American Healthcare Plan – Free Sterilization (for
15 year old girls) – Abortion – Birth Control and even Free Cannabis to
name but a few of the bizarre contents.” being mentioned ANYWHERE in their writings.  And while people may or may not be religious, any religiously-based canon like Sharia Law, for example, does not apply — so whether God likes Obamacare or not is also completely irrelevant.  Quit trying to make a Constiutional point by writing like a political zealot.  The points that can be fought are mostly along the administration’s regulations promulgated during implementation — but the foundation of the law itself has been tested and determined to be yet another tax-and-spend program, something the Founding Fathers DID, in fact, approve of.  And they DID foresee the problem of this power getting into the hands of the incompetent or unscrupulous — and warned us that we would suffer the consequences if we let that happen.  THAT is what is going on — all the rest of your post is political activist noise.

“Whether any Republican voted for it, or how it was written, is completely irrelevant to constitutionality”

In a nation void of conscience, you may have a point. I would like to think that there is yet some vestige of hope for our people. When the new majority force irresponsible bills, and then, pawn these idiotic progressive rendering’s off as law, we’re in deep trouble.

The US constitution has over the years, been manipulated into something never deemed logical in its origination. There lies the problem, and again, it is not up to the supreme court justices to render law, but to uphold existing law. Renaming a basic commodity, and calling it a “normal protocol” of tax and spend composition, doesn’t do a thing for making it legal or constitutional.

Truth be told, Obama himself guaranteed, “tax’s would not increase whatsoever” – ironically though and strange as it is – it was tax’s that actually pushed the health bill through. Obama is a lying wonder and will resort to any dastardly ploy to have things go his way.

In years past, the supreme court would have thrown this out and called it what it is – an unwarranted attempt to force health insurance on the backs of the general public.

Former Department of Justice attorneys David Rivkin and Lee Casey make an important point. “The document that enumerates the powers of congress is the constitution. No where does it grant powers to the legislative branch the right to force people to buy health insurance or any other commodity for that matter.” They refer two supreme court cases (United States vs Lopez – 1995) and (United States vs Morrison 2000)”The Supreme Court specifically rejected the proposition that the commerce clause allowed congress to regulate non-economic activities merely because, through a chain of casual events, they might have an economic impact. These decisions reflect judicial recognition that the commerce clause is not infinitely elastic and that by enumerating its powers, the framers denied congress the type of general police power that is freely exercised by the states.” Aug 22 2009 – Washington Post

That is where the Obama Bill has become illegal, they have side-stepped normal procedure, and have used, much to their advantage, a highly liberal and partisan Supreme court to do its bidding for them. The tax and spend scenario was just what the doctor ordered and presto, Obama Care is now mandated law.

Whatever a person calls it….this new bill will be the final straw that breaks the camels back. This kind of political manipulation is exactly what our founders were trying to avoid, but given enough time, someone, somewhere down the road would finally figure a way to push their illegal policies through and that is why it is illegal because the majority of the population did not want it and now, as you rightly point out, are just beginning to suffer the consequences.

Humanity’s Economic Disease: Capitalism

“ Our
situation may not only be stranger than we suppose; it may be stranger than we can suppose.” J.B.Haldane

 

People demanding governmental change are not united in focusing
on the political economics at the root of most global problems but they are
moving in that direction. This shows that many can understand the situation,
however strange it may seem. But that  understanding does not transmit to much  of what passes for global leadership. Leadership’s
inability to cope with, or its desire to maintain “our situation” , even with the
potential for planetary disaster, reinforces the egotistical greed of private
profit and perpetuates the anti-social problem of public loss. That problem has
reached a point at which it threatens all humanity and not just divided and
conquered national, religious, racial or other falsely labeled identity groups.

 

Many people understand that we have reached a critical turning
point that demands radical change in how and why we produce the means of supporting  life to the advantages of a shrinking
minority which amasses incredible wealth while the vast majority are living in
or fast approaching a status close to poverty. But that reality is more often
completely denied by global leadership, especially in the western world. Since this
is where the problem originates and is sustained, it becomes more important
that  the west play a greater role
in the movement to radically change global policies, starting by transforming
national leadership. That has begun in some parts of  the world like Latin America but here in the USA, it might as
well still be the 20th century for all the “change” in the power of
tiny minorities to run a supposed democracy by buying and occasionally selling
its leadership the way all commodities are traded in the profit and loss marketplace.
That is the serious situation in which humanity finds itself, and Americans,
despite a taught notion of positive exceptionalism, play the most negatively exceptional
role in the creation of waste where there was plenty, and war where there was
peace .

 

Current policies to maintain empire at all costs are misread
by many who accept affirmative action for capitalism as the substance of social
change. When people of diverse cultural, ethnic, racial or sexual sectors
preside over as well as participate in the mass murders of foreigners in wars
to perpetuate minority domination, many imagine that the dead smile happily at
having been slaughtered by such a wonderful collection of minority groups
exercising democratic power. More important, redistributing tokens in a system threatening
disaster for humanity hardly changes anything but for a few who will – very briefly
- be most comfortable while their societies are flooded, destroyed by wars or
disintegrated in some other form by an angry nature taking its measure of a
species that draws closer to outliving its sustainability.

 

We need to follow at least some of the advice offered by  groups like the Royal Society of London
and Another World Is Possible. Despite their differences in funding and
outlook, one being establishment and the other seeking alternatives to that
establishment, in confronting our problems they come to many of the same
conclusions. Both clearly call for a reorganizing of social priorities and an
end to the  wasteful commodity
culture of the west as the only way to end the poverty suffered by billions
and  begin making a better life
possible for all humanity. Both highlight the dangers posed by climate change
and clearly identify political economics at the root of our treatment of the
planet and its people. They use slightly different language and propose
slightly different programs, but they are united in saying that another world
is necessary if humanity is to survive and progress. That will call for a
totally different economic and political foundation even if these groups do not
state that fact in the same words.

 

The warfare culture that treats human welfare as a secondary
consideration should not only be obvious from the perspective of those killing
and being killed by the massive military organizations supporting an equally
massive market force of comfort for some at the expense of deprivation for
most. People far removed from the military battlefields and who sincerely profess
reverence for deities , preach humanitarian unity and practice sincere if
primitive forms of democratic politics still tolerate tens of thousands of
humans living in the streets, sleeping under bridges and in doorways , while
tens of millions of pets live in comfort in the homes of the same good people.
Social and humanitarian priorities are skewed under the domain of profit and
loss capital which forces all good people into situations that provoke bad
things.

 

The domestic priorities of a market system which finds
animals more valuable than people is the same one making foreign wars that find
some humans even less valuable than those same animals. This has little to do
with any individual acting in bad faith and much more to do with a system of
political economics which cannot help but benefit some by treating others as a
lower life form than our pets. We would do well to stop seeking individual
villains, though there certainly are many, and pay much closer attention to the
system in which wonderful people – and they are far more in number – cannot
help but perpetuate growing disaster simply by following the teachings of
business as usual and accepting that profits on one side that create loss on
the other are some form of decency and humanity when the evidence is, and
becoming more so with frightening speed, quite the contrary.

 

“Our society is run
by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for
maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing
that. That’s what’s insane about it.” John

 Okay, I’ll try to explain it one last time.  I’m not surprised you don’t get it, because Chief Justice Roberts found a reasoning chain that I hadn’t foreseen, nor had anyone else apparently.  First off — the court DID NOT support the Commerce Clause, and in fact RULED AGAINST IT EXPLICITLY.  It doesn’t matter what any pundit or Progressive claims otherwise — Obamacare DOES NOT have the authority or power to MAKE you buy health insurance.  Period.  That is spelled out in black and white in Justice Roberts’ majority opinion.  What Justice Roberts’ used, though, is the fact that Congress has the power to tax, and to do so based on behaviors.  Congress awards people for buying houses by giving them a mortgage interest deduction. They give tax breaks for child care.  They give tax breaks for buying a Prius.  They give tax breaks for putting solar panels on your roof.  What Justice Roberts pointed out was, Congress also has the power of NEGATIVE tax incentive.  Congress can tax you for NOT doing something.  Congress therefore taxes you for NOT buying insurance — again, it is not supporting the individual mandate — it is taxing you for NOT doing something.  While this is an as-before-unique example, and to my knowledge Congress never before taxed people for NOT doing something, nonetheless, as Justice Roberts pointed out, it is not the role of the Supreme Court to save the people from the folly of their electoral choices.  If we don’t like the taxation provision, we are left with the recourse of voting out the orginators and replacing them, because from a Constitutional standpoint, taxing and spending ARE ones of the ENUMERATED POWERS of the US Government.  Whether a tax-and-spend program is smart, or a wise expenditure of funds, or popular, or whatever else is also irrelevant — and Lord knows the history of Congress is awash in assinine programs wasting our money.  And absolutely none of that makes one bit of difference from a Constitutional legality standpoint.  You clearly have not read the Supreme Court ruling because you make so many factual errors with regard to what it actually says.  Go read it — then you might understand.

I am a big Ayn Rand fan but, unlike her, I am also a Christian who is charitable. So just because one agrees with some things Ayn believed in, it doesn’t mean altruism is dead. That’s what liberals like to do; accuse, attack and lump all people in groups for their own use.

Saw the video in question and posted to FB and emailed it out. Dr. Carson needs to be heard. Osama looks like a dumb/fool sitting there listening to a man who stands against everything he’s for and makes the best case why.

Does the Osama cyber monkey mean anything to you?

Thought you might enjoy reading about Osama’s cyber monkeys. It will explain the trolls on here.

Yes and those taxes go towards use of said roads. Megan, Some here need to take an economics class along with a math class. Social skills are also lacking…..Obama cyber monkeys syndrome!

Trying to educate the clueless is futile. We saw that on Nov. 6, 2012.

They have that right. They should also be charged for their healthcare.

Well I must say, your expertise concerning constitutional law is commendable, even admirable. Thank you for spelling it out in such detail. So then, what we are faced with is a run-away government who’s devices are in the keen manipulation of the specific wording of our American constitution, and just because “it says MOO”, doesn’t necessarily mean its a cow. I guess that is what troubles me most, the length politicians will travel to meet their self-centered objective, not caring in the least, if what they desire is good for all the people or just a select few. Well anyway, when I get more time on my hands, I intend to read the bill in full and see for myself, just what Justice Roberts conveys.

Warning…..I may get back in touch with you if I discover anything that might shed some light on a solution to overturn this bill…that is, other than the next presidential election, or civil war. Thanks for your time ZEROGON.

One doctor for all his employees? Great plan.

Osama? Fuck are you talking about? The President had him killed.

Relax, nobody is lumping you anywhere. Aren’t you lumping all liberals together with your generalization? Think about it. If you’re not all the same, neither are we.

It’s amazing what changing one letter in a name stirs. Osama’s cyber monkeys! LOL.

You sound angry. Maybe that free clinic can give you something to calm you down.

Osama was killed by the President, genius.

Who told you that?

OMG! When? LMBO!

You are dumber than a door nail. I call Barry Osama genius!
Don’t bother replying to my posts….I don’t acknowledge trolls. This will be my last post directed at you.

Good work. If you do a search, you can find other (free) items online that show Dr. Carson giving speeches in other places. Also Netflix.com has the film “GIFTED HANDS” which is a touching biographical film of Dr. Carson’s life. Also, his website offers ways to get involved with his work:

Yes, America needs MORE of this. This gifted man is a breath of fresh air–his message and his work offer HOPE (and HELP) to many.

OK, well, good luck with that.  You and several million other people have been trying to find the Achilles Heel in Justice Roberts opinion, all without luck.  What they are challenging now are the implementation regulations and policies that the DHH is imposing, but not the fundamental constitutionality of the law itself.  Free contraception is one of those regulations and policies — the law itself does not state that all will have free contraception, for example.  So we can nibble and pick at the implementation details, but we can’t get away from the abysmal core of Obamacare — because Democraps decided to do something that, while constitutionally legal, is certainly morally and ethically questionable in my book.  Negative tax incentives are a Pandora’s Box of infinite abuse — what’s next, I pay a $5000 tax if I don’t buy a Government Motors car?  $10,000 tax if I don’t buy solar panels? $20,000 tax if I don’t put a windmill in my back yard?  The negative incentive line is unending and viciously oppressive.

Thank you for the links. I will watch the movie; this gentleman is or should be an inspiration to all whether liberal or conservative.

it stirs some amusement. that’s not very amazing. but maybe you don’t get out much.

Yeah ’cause if you heard it on Xian talk radio, it MUST be true.

So if I tell you to shut the fuck up, you’ll obey? Good. Shut the fuck up.

so you won’t talk to me, but you’ll talk about me? very mature. lol.

Hate to tell you, but you work at a shitty company that cares more about profits for stockholders and executives than the welfare of the employees that make those profits. You are being treated like shit, and so are those who work at walmart. 

the day we kicked your ass?

And you come across as an ill informed low information voter. I gotta ask: are you typing all of this on your Obamafone?

Saw the movie today..loved it. We really need more Ben Carsons in our country.

It is in my opinion, obviously me and millions of other alarmed Americans, that this bill can be defeated. We are just not looking in the right direction…yet.

First thing to remember is, that all government officials upon entering office…starting with the president, must solemnly promise that, to the best of his ability, he will “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” that act is required by the constitution, which also says, that Senators and Representatives and all executive and judicial officers shall be bound by oath, or affirmation, to support this constitution.

Most it seem, have taken the oath and then done the opposite. Obama has, to the best of his ability, purposely smeared, ignored, or undermined that document.

Obama and those serving under him and also many preceding administrations, so its not just Obama who’s at fault here, its just that his ideas are the most blatantly radical this nation has ever witnessed. Obama’s platform in his first campaign was to “Fundamentally Transform America” And the fundamental character found written in the US Constitution which has to do with the checks and balances to keep our governmental figures honest are somehow irrelevant, or have somehow become outdated. That is not part of the oath in which these political junkies swore an oath to…just the opposite.

In truth, the liberals have never been satisfied with our constitution, claiming it ties their hands from allowing government to be all that it can and should be. On the other hand, our founders understood full-well the dangerous implications of government-run-a-muck. So in that argument, is where I feel can be found the only solution in turning this nation paralyzing bill to the curbside where it belonged from its inception.

Operating on the fringes, or even just outside the confines of the stated charter, is where the fight to right the ship must begin. Conservatives must find a way to show that this healthcare bill and the manipulation of its passing, were not within the law. Its not in what Justice Roberts ruled, but in the very process of this bill from the start – the libs knew that this would happen, or at least they were hoping it would and as luck would have it – well here we are. Because the way the liberals are meticulously chipping away at the very core of our most important document, means within a short time, there will be no constitution left and therefore, no law and without law there is sudden civic breakdown and chaos, leading to riots and national upheaval. If…and I know that is a big if….we can figure a way that shows there was an existing and premeditated agenda to set aside the constitution by implementation of Obama’s bill, then that is where we must begin.

Again, I realize the road is uphill and very difficult, but as I stated before, this, I feel, will be the straw that breaks the camels back and if something isn’t done quickly to stop and reverse the new mandate – the bleeding will become uncontrollable and this nation is through. Could it be that for no other reason, Obama care was implemented only…to destroy the American Constitution. If that can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt…isn’t that a start in the right direction? Hey you’re smarter at this by far than I…any thoughts….Z

Boy, you got that right. And if we keep spreading the word about GREAT ROLE MODELS like this, we will have more of this INSPIRING TYPE of person for all of us to emulate. Dr. Carson and his wife have already given out over 2000 scholarships to young people they have inspired to be ALL they can be. How many can say that?

Let’s assume for the moment that everything you claim
about intent and agenda is 100% true.  From
a Constitutionality standpoint, it is also 100% irrelevant.  The Constitution enumerates the power of
creating law to Congress (Article 1, Section 1), and it also allows Congress to
define its own processes (Article 1, Sections 5 & 7).  Therefore, HOW Congress writes, debates,
votes on, and passes bills are self-defined processes — you can’t argue them
to be unconstitutional when the Constitution itself vests the authority for
defining said processes solely in the two respective houses of Congress.  So you are left with proving criminal action
– hence the outcry over the “Cornhusker Kickback”, which in itself
was a totally Constitutional action, but was clearly the political equivalent
of a bribe — which people find obnoxious. 
But you are going to be seriously challenged to find a hidden intent in
the bill — quite the opposite, Nancy Pelosi admitted she had no idea what the
thing said or what the implications were. 
In fact, I would conclude the exact opposite of you — the Progressives,
as usual, had this utopian vision of their ideal communist-based world, and
wrote law without a clue of basic economic principles, business principles, or
even human nature.  When you have clueless
community organizers writing law, you get bankrupting stuff like
Obamacare.  I could only WISH somebody
actually had a coherent agenda and plan behind half the junk that came out of
that 2-year Congressional period.  It was
actually 2 years of splurging on a decade of pent-up Progressive wish lists, to
the tune of $Bs of dollars. 

 

As for the law itself, read Article 1, Section 8.  The only limits on taxation are enumerated in
Article 1, Section 9 — bills of attainder and capitation or other direct tax
(which was subsequently removed in part — THANKS — by the 16th Amendment, and
one could argue it also removed the capitation provision, albeit indirectly,
since I could set the “direct” tax to be a set amount for everybody
regardless of income — and presto, capitation tax.)  That is why Justice Roberts’ opinion is
correct, even if it leaves a foul taste behind. 
Congress SHOULDN’T use negative taxation as a coercive measure, but it
is not expressly prohibited from doing so. 
As Justice Roberts’ pointed out — if we don’t like it, we should vote
out the Congress and President, and replace them with people who will repeal
the old laws and refrain from using that taxation approach again.

 

Will Obamacare either bankrupt us, or result in rationing
and death panels like in Canada and Europe? 
Undoubtedly so, and much faster than it did in those places.  That’s why Republicans used the death panels
line during the debates — only they didn’t explain it enough.  They failed to grasp the concept that
Progressives don’t CARE if they bankrupt the country — so they never explained
the story enough to show that there were TWO outcomes possible, only one of
which was “feasible” from their standpoint, but both of which were
“acceptable” to Progressives who want to turn the US into a Third
World country. 

In days gone by there used to be a saying, “Should have been a Philadelphia Lawyer”…who are you and how the hell did you get so smart….seriously, I knew when I was clicking off the keys that – (in the back of my mind at least, I was hoping to set you a scrambling on a new path to outright destroy and conquer Obama’s Healthcare nightmare) but in reality, the reply you have given is pretty much what I expected. You have the canny ability of getting straight to the point…as it should be, but something tells me, if there were anyone capable enough to find a way of penetration, it would be you, or the “firm” you work for. Kidding aside,I really mean the part about your personal abilities, so start cracking that noggin of yours and put your name on the map as the one who slipped the political rug out from under the liberal ilk residing in DC.
