And so it was on this past Tuesday that six more states, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, said that they would be joining a lawsuit in Florida against Barry's attempted seizure of the healthcare system in this country. What this effectively means that now more than half of the country is now officially against this debacle and are now set to challenge this most egregious law. The announcement to so came as House members in Washington, led by the new Republican majority, debated the rationale behind the intent to repeal the law. These six additional states will now join Florida and 19 others, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said. "It sends a strong message that more than half of the states consider the healthcare law unconstitutional and are willing to fight it in court," she said in a statement. These 26 states involved here are fighting for all 50 with their efforts to advance the lawsuit while presenting a united front in they're claim that the new healthcare law is blatantly unconstitutional and violates people's rights by forcing all to buy health insurance by 2014 or face stiff penalties. Government attorneys have said, and on more than one occasion, the states do not have standing to challenge the law and want the case dismissed. That would be a typically arrogant response coming from those defending the premise that some faceless bureaucrat is better suited to determine what sort of medical treatment is and is not needed by any individual.
Lawsuits have also been filed elsewhere. One federal judge in Virginia ruled in December that the insurance-purchase mandate was unconstitutional, though two other federal judges have upheld the requirement. It's rather obvious that many of these judges have now become far too willing to uphold this travesty, allowing their politics to cloud their judgment and interfere in what should be a decision based on nothing other than the Constitution. Instead they have made a conscious decision to abuse their position, as well as the trust placed in them, to aid and abet a corrupt administration in its efforts to advance a highly suspect political agenda. An agenda that thus far has done much more harm than good to this country. It's expected the Supreme Court will ultimately have to resolve the issue, but with the current make up of the court and the activist judges, and non-judges, that current preside, I don't have a warm fuzzy about the right decision being arrived at. If Barry is able to be provided with one more opportunity to maneuver one more activist judge onto the Court, it will be a stake through the heart of our Republic. And trust me when I say, there is nothing that would make Barry happier. He is determined in his efforts to fundamentally transform this country, to bring about what he views as a society that is more "fair and equitable." In what is really the perfect example of just how thoroughly ignorant Democrats are of all things regarding what our Constitution actually says, we have Rep. John Lewis, yet another know-nothing Democrat, and one who hales from Georgia, who stated that he believes that the Constitution justifies Obamacare’s mandate that people must buy health insurance. And what does he base this notion on? Well according to this moron, it's on the Constitution’s reference to the “pursuit of happiness” that specifically justifies that mandate. There’s just one problem, the pursuit of happiness isn’t in the Constitution. That would be the Declaration of Independence. This is the intellect of those who are so determined to seize control of our ability to obtain healthcare for ourselves. If this doesn't scare every single freedom loving American, nothing will!
In the Florida case, the states also argue that the federal government is violating the Constitution by forcing a mandate on the states without providing money to pay for it. They say the new law gives the state's the impossible choice of accepting the new costs or forfeiting federal Medicaid funding. Florida U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, a Reagan appointee, could rule later this month whether he will grant a summary judgment in favor of the states or the Barry "O" administration without a trial. Florida's former Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum filed the lawsuit just minutes after Barry "Almighty" signed the 10-year, $938 billion healthcare bill into law in March. He chose a court in Pensacola, one of Florida's most conservative cities. The nation's most influential small business lobby, the National Federation of Independent Business, also joined the suit. The other states that are also suing the federal government are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Washington. Can this many people be wrong? This maniacal undertaking that is Obamacare has got to be stopped dead in its tracks. The states not only have the right, but the responsibility to their respective populations, to exhaust every option in their effort to rein in what is so obviously an out of control federal bureaucracy.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, so to speak, in Washington, the White House summarily dismissed the vote to repeal the law, saying the Republicans' push for repeal was "not" a serious legislative effort. I guess if we're using the standard Democrat definition of a "serious legislative effort" then that assessment is probably true. Because you see, for Democrats "serious legislative effort" is defined as the shoving of a piece of unwanted, unwarranted and unneeded legislation down the unwilling throats of the American people for no other reason that to advance the standard Democrat "progressive" agenda. We all know that as long as Democrats have a majority in the Senate, they will be able to successfully block any attempt at repeal that comes to that chamber. But be that as it may, the Republicans in their effort to gain support during the last campaign, promised to work toward repealing this law. And just because it may die in the Senate or most certainly were it ever to reach Barry's desk, that does not relieve them of carrying through with the promise that was made to the American people. Promises made, are promises that need to be kept. After the horrendous reign of "Stretch" Pelosi, there is much need to restore some level of integrity and trust back to the House. Because it should go without saying that as long as "Dingy" Harry and the Democrats remain in charge, any attempt to do so in the Senate will be very quickly quashed. Democrats care very little about such things as honesty, trust, ethic and integrity. They have no core beliefs, for them it's all about the accumulation of political power and control over the people. They are a very dangerous crowd, we here. To see them as anything but what they are is to place yourself in extreme peril.
And so it was in preparation of that much anticipated vote in the House, that more of the typical Democrat hypocrisy reared it ugly head and was very much on display for all to witness. Using what I can only presume to be the new level of tempered political discourse now being advocated by the likes of Barry, we saw Rep. Steve Cohen, Democrat from Tennessee, as he used a late night House floor speech Tuesday to resort to typical Democrat rhetoric, hitting Republicans for what he called "lies" about a "government takeover" of the health care system, going so far as to evoke Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. "They say it's a government takeover of health care, a big lie, just like Goebbels. You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie and eventually people believe it," he said. This clown Cohen, who I'm told is Jewish, went on to compare that "lie" to the term "blood libel," a phrase that historically was used to falsely accuse Jews of killing Christian children. In present times, the term has come to be understood by some as any false accusation of murder. Sarah Palin used the term last week, but being a Democrat and therefore lacking any amount of courage, Cohen did not mention her by name in his speech. "Blood libel. That's the same kind of thing. The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it and you had the Holocaust. We've heard it over and over again on this floor, government takeover of health care. Politifact, non-partisan, Pulitzer Prize winning 2009 St. Petersburg times said the biggest lie of 2010 was government takeover of health care because there is no government takeover," said the hypocritical Mr. Cohen.
Boy, I'm sure glad we've all decided to become so much more civil to one another, otherwise I might be worried. However, as we watch the debate from the floor of the House, the civility seemed to be pretty onesided. While the Republicans were focused on discussing the merits of repealing the law and reasoning behind the effort, the Democrats, instead of focusing on the supposed benefits of the legislation they're so proud of, chose to resort to their typical tactics and focusing their assault on the outright slandering of those calling for repeal. Let's be honest here, Democrats are nothing more than pond scum. They were born out of scum and once they leave this Earth they will revert back to that very same scum. They reside in the gutter and show no willingness whatsoever to extricate themselves from the muck that seems to gives them their strength.
