New Taxes You’re Going To Pay To Fund Obamacare
20 Jul 2012 5:02 pm Michael Fell

Henry Blodget, writing for businessinsider.com, shares some valuable information that will come in handy when debating with “progressive” useful idiots whether obama”care”tax is really a tax or not.
“Here are some of the new taxes you’re going to have to pay to pay for Obamacare:
•A 3.8% surtax on “investment income” when your adjusted gross income is more than $200,000 ($250,000 for joint-filers). What is “investment income?” Dividends, interest, rent, capital gains, annuities, house sales, partnerships, etc. Taxes on dividends will rise from 15% to 18.8%–if Congress extends the Bush tax cuts. …

People Still Think Obama’s Signature Legislation, ObamaCare, Is Terrible Legislation
16 Jul 2012 7:40 am William Teach

Nancy Pelosi said we had to pass the bill to know what’s in it. Democrats did just that, by offering bribes and using cheap parliamentary tricks, despite massive outcry over the legislation, and now that we know what’s in it, it hasn’t gotten more popular. People are not resigned to accepting it. And the polls prove just how bad the American People think it is
(Politico) Most Americans think President Barack Obama’s health care reform law will harm taxpayers and businesses, while helping those directly threatened by a lack …

Obama Calls Mandate A Tax
14 Jul 2012 4:47 am William Teach

Remember this?

Mr. Obama’s teleprompter failed him again
President Obama used the word “tax” to describe the health care mandate under his reforms, a departure from his prior etymological stance that it is a penalty.
“By the way, if you’ve got health insurance, you’re not getting hit by a tax,” the president said during his Friday rally in Roanoke, his third Virginia campaign event of the day. “The only thing that’s happening to you is that you now have more security because insurance companies can’t drop you when you get sick.”
Obama has spoken. …

Gov. Scott Walker Provides Some Facts On The Devastation Obamacare Will Create
12 Jul 2012 3:32 am William Teach

In an editorial at the Washington Post, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker points out that Wisconsin, under his leadership, was able to appropriate $1.2 billion in increasing Medicare spending for his state by “putting in place the long-term structural changes needed to make our budget sustainable” which allows Wisconsin to make sure they take care of their residents who “truly need assistance.” He then goes on to show just how bad the federal policy of Obamacare is in the nation’s laboratories, the States
(Washington Post) The bad news is that, from a …

Hmm: 83% Of Doctors Have Considered Quitting Thanks To Obamacare
10 Jul 2012 3:38 pm William Teach

The obvious solution is to mandate that doctors keep working under Comrade Obama
(The Daily Caller) Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving their practices over President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, according to a survey released by the Doctor Patient Medical Association.
The DPMA, a non-partisan association of doctors and patients, surveyed a random selection of 699 doctors nationwide. The survey found that the majority have thought about bailing out of their careers over the legislation, which was upheld last month by the Supreme …

Is the individual mandate a penalty or a tax? Washington doesn’t seem to know
7 Jul 2012 2:19 pm Dustin Siggins

Since the Supreme Court ruled the individual mandate is a tax, the various Washington-based interests have pulled out all of the political stops in order to convince the American people that it’s a tax, unless it’s a penalty, in which case it’s a fine.
Want to know for certain? Ask the 2009 version of President Obama, who said it is most certainly not a tax. Or you could ask the Administration’s lawyers, who argued it is a tax when they argued for its legality in front of the Supreme Court. When …

NHS horror story: neglected patient calls police for water, dies of thirst
3 Jul 2012 4:00 pm Wintery Knight

I spotted this UK Daily Mail story on my FB feed from bioethicist Wesley J. Smith.
Excerpt:
A young patient who died of dehydration at a leading teaching hospital phoned police from his bed because he was so thirsty, an inquest heard yesterday.
Officers arrived at Kane Gorny’s bedside, but were told by nurses that he was in a confused state and were sent away.
The keen footballer and runner, 22, died of dehydration a few hours later.
A coroner had such grave concerns about the case that she referred it to police.
Yesterday an inquest was told how …

Don’t Be Stupid, It’s Still the Economy
3 Jul 2012 3:50 pm Michael Fell

The United States Supreme Court has ruled. The obama”care”tax is Constitutional.
Of course, that depends on what your definition of tax is.
Institutionalized “progressive” leftists in the “mainstream” media have mockingly praised the majority opinion of swing vote Chief Justice Roberts. Conservatives have expressed scorn for Roberts over the decision. How long will it be before there are calls to water board Roberts until he confesses to committing high crimes and misdemeanors, to be locked away indefinitely without trial in Guantanamo Bay?
Several weeks ago, Mitt Romney said: “It’s still the economy, and …

Mitch McConnell Says That Covering 30 Million People Isn’t The Point
2 Jul 2012 9:08 am William Teach

I’ll admit, McConnell didn’t do a really good job of explaining the Republican position on Repeal and Replace, but, he did have a good point, which Obama cheerleader Greg Sargent misses
Mitch McConnell’s appearance today on Fox News Sunday was remarkably revealing — it showed as clearly as you could want that the Supreme Court decision is finally forcing Republicans to declare what, exactly, they would replace Obamacare with if they realize their goal of repealing it entirely.
Pressed by Chris Wallace to say what he would do …

Now more than ever we must continue praying for religious freedom
1 Jul 2012 4:30 pm Chris Wysocki

Since it is now proven that Obamacare is a tax, Father Z has a most excellent question:
Isn’t it now the case that if the Obama Administration punishes St. Ipsidipsy Catholic Hospital in Black Duck for refusing to provide employees their abortifacient pills, then the Federal Government is taxing the exercise of religion?
Why yes, yes it is. And the Department of Health and Human Services wants it that way. A tax on religion.
I believe Muslims call that the Jizya. Now it’s Barack Hussein Obama’s fee for being Catholic in America.
Are …

Chief Justice Roberts Reelected Barack Obama On Thursday
30 Jun 2012 2:36 pm Warner Todd Huston

I know many of you may be upset at this article, but I think the election is now over. Obama will get a second term. I don’t say this happily, but barring any really controversial incident that makes Obama look bad — or worse than he is, I should say — it looks to me that he’s now unbeatable, especially by a Mitt Romney.
Now, before you get your undies in a bunch, no this doesn’t mean we should throw in the towel and quit. It always amazes me that people …

obamacare: Tip of the Iceberg
29 Jun 2012 5:48 pm Michael Fell

Since the ruling by the United States Supreme Court on Thursday, June 28, 2012, the big news in America has been how the obama administration, then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid misrepresented the legislation to Congress, the Senate and the public.
It was consistently presented as a cost saving measure that would reduce the size of U.S. national deficits, thus helping pay down the debt, while improving the quality and lowering the costs of healthcare. Insurance premiums would be reduced. It would provide coverage …

VIDEO: Democrats Next to Move to Unionize Obamacare Doctors
29 Jun 2012 2:36 pm Warner Todd Huston

In another sign that our healthcare industry is soon to be just another arm of the Democrat Party, Chicago are Democrat Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky thinks it’s a great idea if doctors unionize.

This will completely end any chance that doctors will care about patients. They will instead become just another uncaring, slipshod union hack that won’t much care about the excellence of his work because he’s protected by union rules. Patients will no longer matter.
Doctors will be just like officious DMV employees. Just like lazy Streets and Sans guys. Like all …

CNN Mistakenly Reported Roberts Overturned Obamacare
29 Jun 2012 2:35 pm Warner Todd Huston

Seven minutes of “f**king humiliation” is how one CNN staffer described the morning faux pas the “most trusted name in news” made when it reported that Chief Justice John Roberts overturned Obamacare’s mandate this morning.
As the Supreme Court of the United States was delivering its long awaited decision on Obamacare, CNN’s on-air news reader, 29-year-old Kate Bolduan, breathlessly said that the healthcare mandate was struck down. And I do mean breathlessly…

Kate Bolduan: We’re still going through the reading of the opinion, but I want to bring you the breaking news …

Killing Obamacare’s Individual Mandate: We Now Need 51 Votes In The Senate, Not 60
29 Jun 2012 2:23 pm John Hawkins

Today, Matt Lewis over at the Daily Caller pointed out an Obamacare angle that hadn’t yet occurred to me.
Before the Supreme Court ruling, repealing Obamacare would have taken a majority in the House, the presidency, and 60 votes in the Senate to get past a Democratic filibuster. However, after the Supreme Court ruling, those numbers have changed.
So the ObamaCare individual mandate stands — as a tax. Interestingly, that makes it vulnerable to a senate procedure known as “reconciliation,” whereby Republicans can repeal the tax without the standard 60 votes (thus, …

R.I.P. Liberty
28 Jun 2012 2:44 pm Michael Fell

On June 28, 2012 at 10:15 a.m. EST, obamacare was ruled unconstitutional via the Commerce Clause, yet ruled Constitutional on the grounds that it is a tax, even though the current White House occupant claimed it wasn’t a tax while jamming it through Congress and trying unsuccessfully to sell it to the American public.
http://www.wtop.com/209/2109971/High-court-upholds-key-part-of-Obama-health-law
The Supreme Court of the United States’ landmark ruling on obamacare and obama breaking his oft repeated pledge to not raise taxes on middle class Americans happened simultaneously.
obamacare is a $1.7 trillion tax increase from the candidate …

The Supreme Court just wrote Romney’s campaign ads
28 Jun 2012 1:07 pm Sunshine State Sarah

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock this morning, the Supreme Court issued its opinion on ObamaCare today, with Justices Alito, Scalia, Thomas, and even swing-vote Kennedy voting to overturn the law as unconstitutional, but Chief Justice Roberts joined the liberal wing of the court in voting to uphold it.
The Court ruled that even though it was an unconstitutional violation of the Commerce Clause to force Americans to buy health insurance, the individual mandate survived as a…tax.
Wait, what?
It’s not a tax? Really? Huh. That’s not how Obama sold this law to the …

Random Thoughts Related to the PPACA & Tomorrow’s SCOTUS Decision(s)
27 Jun 2012 10:22 am Dustin Siggins

With the Supreme Court deciding tomorrow on the constitutionality of parts and the whole of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the political world is switching from tense to excited to nervous on what seems to be an hourly basis. The Washington Post’s Ezra Klein is not-so-subtly undermining the legitimacy of overturning the PPACA, Real Clear Politics’ Sean Trende writes that the entire health care law is in jeopardy based largely upon his expectation that Chief Justice Roberts will write the Court’s decision, and now Politico is reporting …

Fundraise and Fore! obama’s Answer to World Events
19 Jun 2012 6:23 am Michael Fell

Israel issued warnings over security problems with Egypt. Militants from the Sinai Peninsula crossed over into southern Israel Monday and fired on a border security fence, killing one Israeli. The IDF moved tanks and otherarmed forces to the Israel-Egypt border in response to the attack. Egypt is on the offensive against Israel.
Egypt’s presidential election results lean towards victory for Mohammed Morsi, the radical Islamist Muslim Brotherhood candidate. Thanks at least in part to vocal White House support for the “Arab Spring”, which ushered the Muslim Brotherhood to Egypt’s presidency, Egypt …

Biased Media Reports Non-News
16 Jun 2012 5:43 pm Michael Fell

Once again, a proud, card-carrying member of the “progressive” Party Pravda is wasting readers’ time. The headline reads: “On eve of health ruling, Ruth Bader Ginsburg predicts ‘sharp disagreement’”.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0612/77479.html
How is it possible that Kyle Cheney is getting paid to spell bind readers with such gems as: “Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg laid waste Friday to all those rumors about the fate of the Affordable Care Act in the Supreme Court.” Yet the article contains no information about Ginsburg making such a claim.
Cheney continues Pravda’s collective non-information/misinformation campaign by saying: “Although she …
