It may be clever, but it is not constitutional
» Michael McConnell of Stanford Law: 'Slaughter solution cannot be squared with Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution'

Democratic congressional leaders have floated a plan to enact health-care reform by a procedure dubbed “the Slaughter solution.” ...Democrats would pass a rule that deems the Senate’s health-care bill to have passed the House, without the House actually voting on the bill. This would enable Congress to vote on legislation that fixes flaws in the Senate health-care bill without facing a Senate filibuster, and without requiring House members to vote in favor of a Senate bill that is now politically toxic.

Clever seems to be a Dhimmicrat specialty. Reading the Constitution - not so much.

» Obamacare: Shortcut to socialism

The official title is the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," (bill text here) popularly known as "Obamacare," passed by the Senate in the wee-hours of Christmas Eve. This 2400-page monstrosity does what no enemy of America has ever been able to do: transform the land of the free into the home of the enslaved.

For the first time in the history of the nation, the federal government will force its citizens to purchase a product.

If Americans – through their elected officials – accept this principle, there is nothing to prevent the federal government from forcing its citizens to purchase any other product that the government decides its citizens should have. Nowhere does the Constitution authorize the federal government to require its citizens to purchase anything. The writers of this bill, however, conclude that even though insurance sales may be limited by each state, health insurance is still sold across state lines, and therefore is subject to federal regulations under the commerce clause, and that regulatory authority includes the authority to force citizens to purchase health insurance, whether they want it or not.

Individuals who fail to purchase the required insurance will be fined 1/12 of the annual cost of the required insurance with penalties "not to exceed 300 percent."(Chapter 48, Section 5000A, Page 321 ff)

As bad as this legislation is, it is just the first step toward a much worse condition: government control of health care.

That's the plan.

» Profits over people ?

Now we have the very unpleasant cumulative effect of irresponsible financial indifference and of finding someone to take ownership of a bill too long ignored because someone else was paying. The President has erroneously blamed insurance companies, but ignored the disastrous contribution of government wage and price controls to spawning a crisis brought about by distance between the patient and the bill. Now, however, the President is planning a colossally worse plan by preparing to have his monstrous-spending government, with all the appearance of righteousness, presume to be the solution.

» Attorney General's duplicity overlooked by media cheerleaders

"My read of Holder and his boss Obama is that they are perfectly comfortable befriending and defending terrorists. Obama's close friend -- and ghostwriter -- William Ayers was a bomb-maker for the fanatical Weather Underground. And Holder possesses a history of beneficence to terror organizations such as when he brokered a deal for releasing FALN bombers in New York just as Hillary Clinton began her campaign for that state's US Senate seat,"

A regular guy who became a fat, pampered Hollywood star, who somehow lost the plot, got way too full of himself and now spews slanders about the very men he chronicles in his latest movie.
» Tom Hanks, What Happened?

I don’t know when Tom Hanks became a “Blame America First”-crank, but his history sucks. And his current events aren’t any better. The soldiers serving us today are not genocidal maniacs engaged in a Race War, but as fine as any this nation has ever produced. I should know–those are my family, too.

If the Tuskeegee Airmen could love and serve America like they did, it should be child’s play for us today. You need to look at your own history, Tom. Maybe you’ll want to return to the time before slanders against America–and Americans–rolled off your tongue like a Hollywood promise.
