Liberals feel that since the bill is a
law, Republicans have to fund it. Liberals are less fond of discussing
how Obamacare became law. First the Democrats lose Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in an election fought specifically on Obamacare. So Obamcare is passed with the big lie that it
will save money in a reconcilement bill, thus requiring only 51
Senate votes. Then, when it turns out that it is
really very expensive, Republicans should be compelled to vote to pay whatever it costs. Further, the Former
Constitutional Lecturer in Chief decides that since it's too complicated to
collect 11 billion dollars in employer mandate
taxes, he'll waive the employer mandate for a year. How is this taking care to see that the laws are faithfully executed, as
the president is Constitutionally required to do? However this is
OK because the Democrats have good intentions. Did nobody tell Democrats and
the Pravda Press that the road to hell is paved
with good intentions? Welcome to Obamacare hell.

A Call for Healing

McCarthy is Seriously Dead since 1957
Liberals are fond of calling
Republicans they don’t like the latest reincarnation of the spirit of Joe
McCarthy. This week Ted Cruz is the new
Joe McCarthy. Note to liberals: Joe
McCarthy died in 1957. Further, the Verona intercepts show that at least
a few of the people he initially complained about were communist spies in
communication with the Soviet Union. Where Joe went way too far was in
accusing a lot of people individually by name with no proof whatsoever.
He slandered hundreds, maybe thousands. These people got fired from
their jobs and many could not work under their own names for years afterwards. Who
has Ted Cruz accused of being a communist? Is being accused of being a
spendthrift the same as being accused of being a communist? I think
nobody should mention Joe McCarthy unless they were alive when he died. I
was 7 years old when he died. Were you even born yet?
Obamacare a Fraud from the Start
Obamacare was passed as a budget reconciliation bill,
a bill that saves money. The fiction that the bill saves money is blown
out of the water by now. So, in legal terms, this was fraud in the
inducement for the bill. Our Dear Leader has exempted Employers from
their mandate, but has preserved the Individual Mandate. If George Bush
had done that, there would be Occupy Everything protests and riots across the
country. The Pravda Press would be screaming. Since The One We Were
Waiting For did it, it's fine with everybody except the Tea Party crazies who
actually read the Constitution. The Constitution says all spending bills
must originate in the House. There is no Constitutional Mandate that
Congress must fund any bill that was previously passed, particularly if the
budget estimates were off as badly as Obamacare's were. It also says the
President "must take care that the laws are faithfully executed."
So no matter how smart The Smartest Guy in the Oval Office Ever happens
to be, he is not allowed to suspend the collection of taxes on business because
his administration is not ready to do what the law requires. He should
have to ask Congress to change the law. For obvious reasons, this was
inconvenient for the former Constitutional Lecturer who made the decision.
Has anyone noticed that the number of people who have successfully used
the Federal website for Obamacare to get coverage is not something normally
talkative "senior administration officials" want to talk about?
They blame it all on the unexpected hordes of citizens who need insurance
from the exchanges. I guess they really believed their own propaganda
that "If you like your insurance, you can keep it." Since that
was a lie, too many people tried to register? Or perhaps the whole thing is
one big government overreach?

No Ignorance on the Left?
I guess that a corollary of no
enemies on the left is, axiomatically, no ignorance on the left. If
George W. Bush "flubs it," it's evidence of his ignorance. If
"The One" flubs it, it's evidence of his absent mindedness.
The Dear Leader is, by definition, brilliant. Republicans are, by
definition, ignorant, stupid and often malevolent. When BHO acts like a
Stuart King of England, ruling by decree, it is by definition not comparable.
That the Constitution was framed with the behavior of Stuart Kings in mind, is
ignored or unknown to Liberals (Progressives?). This is convenient,
because they can claim they are just trying to preserve the spirit of the
Constitution by flouting the letter of it. Liberals who want to buy a
clue should Google "Charles I, of England" and look at the Wikipedia
entry, particularly the "Personal Rule" section.
Liberals may accuse me of borrowing
vocabulary from George Will. Sorry. I
guess my conservative ignorance is so great that my Mathematics MS degree did
not include axiomatic assumptions. Since I graduated in 1972, and had never
heard of George Will at that time, I guess we can assume I read George Will for
vocabulary words so that I can sound erudite while speaking to Liberals. Sorry,
big word. I'll correct it to smart. Does that dumb it down enough for
"liberal" education?
