My Take On King v. Burwell

A lot of conservatives seem pretty upset with today's Obamacare ruling. I'm more disappointed than upset about it, mostly because the RINO's in congress really didn't have a plan to prevent the chaos that would have occurred if the ruling had gone the other way. 

Supreme Court Allows Nationwide Health Care Subsidies

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that President Obama’s health care law allows the federal government to provide nationwide tax subsidies to help poor and middle-class people buy health insurance, a sweeping vindication that endorsed the larger purpose of Mr. Obama’s signature legislative achievement.
The 6-to-3 ruling means that it is all but certain that the Affordable Care Act will survive after Mr. Obama leaves office in 2017, and has a greater chance of becoming an enduring part of America’s social safety net.
For the second time in three years, the law survived an encounter with the Supreme Court. But the court’s tone was different this time. The first decision, in 2012, was fractured and grudging, while Thursday’s ruling was more assertive.~snip~

 The truth is we brought Obamacare on ourselves by electing Obama and and a majority democrat congress and house and with it getting Pelosi and Reid into positions of power.

To quote Chief Justice Roberts:

"It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.”

Obamacare will exist in some form into perpetuity even if the republican party offers us something other than the RINO milquetoasts they keep putting in front of us.
The effort needs to go towards fixing what we have because now it will never disappear.

Today at the SCOTUS

Couple of rulings that push back at government intruding into our lives.
This first one is of course a misleading headline. In spite of all the leftwing hyperventilating the SCOTUS didn't rule against birth control, just who is required to pay for it.

COURT: RELIGIOUS RIGHTS TRUMP BIRTH CONTROL RULE

Commie/liberals are all about "stay out of our bedrooms!!!" until money is involved. Then it's all about charging everybody else to pay for their "privacy".

Here's another instance of government trying to make someone else pay for commie/liberal speech and losing.

Illinois mom elated after defeating powerful union in Supreme Court

Democrats are the ones who benefit from coerced union dues and they are greedy enough to find ways to intrude into people's homes to fatten their wallets.

While neither of these rulings went far enough they are the beginnings of some pushback against an out of control government inserting itself ever father into our lives.

The New Rainbow Nation

As I was watching all the liberal/commie news media yesterday slobbering uncontrollably over the decisions handed down by the Supreme Court, I couldn't help but reflect about how we got to this point.
Then I read Justice Scalia's dissent and realized that he got it right.

To question its high-handed invalidation of a presumptively valid statute is to act (the majority is sure) with the purpose to "dis- parage," "injure," "degrade," "demean," and "humiliate" our fellow human beings, our fellow citizens, who are homo- sexual. All that, simply for supporting an Act that did no more than codify an aspect of marriage that had been unquestioned in our society for most of its existence— indeed, had been unquestioned in virtually all societies for virtually all of human history. It is one thing for a society to elect change; it is another for a court of law to impose change by adjudging those who oppose it hostes humani generis, enemies of the human race.

This whole campaign to fundamentally change society was waged on a platform of hatred, threats, marginalization, patently false assertions and lies about a good many citizens of this country.
We wouldn't be at this point if the forces of "change" hadn't been able to effectively wage a war against religion in the name of tolerance. Without the liberal/commie media this wouldn't have been possible as they bent over backwards to silence opposing views.

Already the stage is set for future oppression, take the recent case of Paula Deen, who BTW was a big cheerleader for liberalism and "hope and change".
All this after it was revealed in a deposition that she uttered the n***** word 27 years ago.

I'm not defending her, I kind of enjoy it when liberals eat their own, but it is a harbinger of what's in store in the future.
I can see liberal news media talking heads asking people if they were "Jesus freaks" in the 70's or "are you now or have you ever been a member of a southern Baptist church" or attended a Catholic school?

With each step the gay friendly politically correct media and leaders make the greater the push will be to purge every last pocket of resistance to their desires.
This country won't be defeated by a foreign army, it will be defeated by the haters of freedom within.

A Week of Change

Here's a reminder via Breitbart News of what's at stake this week from the Supreme Court.

U.S. Braces for Historic Supreme Court Decisions

This week the Supreme Court will hand down four decisions that will mark a turning point for the United States, and some possible outcomes could even change the course of this country for the rest of our national existence.
The High Court heard 75 cases this year. As this week begins, 64 have been decided, meaning the final 11 will come down this week as the Court concludes its 2012 Term. Seven are run-of-the-mill cases, but the other four are as big as they get. ~snip~

I don't believe that the term "conservative" really means much anymore as far as what the court will do with these issues. It seems to have a mind of it's own.
Even though Justice Scalia questions the sanity of "moralist" judges, historically the court hasn't shied away from making pronouncements from on high. So I don't see much hope for them ruling in favor of common sense. Their ruling on Obamacare pretty much taught me that.

But then again I have to agree with Justice Roberts.

“Members of this Court…we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments.  Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them.  It is not our job to protect people from the consequences of their political choices.”

And he's right, we are where we are in this particular point in history because of the choices we all made at the ballot box.
As long as we can't spare 10 minutes a day away from American Idol and TMZ to make ourselves aware of what politicians are doing to society  in our name then nothing will change.
Only until the boot of the liberal/progressive commie democrats and RINOs tightens to the point that we all suffer under their tyranny will we throw off their oppression and vote them out on their asses.

If we are still able to vote by then.

Obamacare Reminder

In light of the SCOTUS ruling on Obamacare today it might be worth reviewing the denial by Obama that it is not a tax.
Also maybe it's time to revisit his vow not to raise taxes on families making less than $250,000 a year.


Obama Renews Vow of No Middle-Class Tax Increase

WASHINGTON — The White House tried Monday to douse speculation that it might raise taxes on the middle class in violation of President Obama’s campaign promise, just a day after two of his top economic advisers left the door open to such a move to rein in spiraling deficits.
Mr. Obama told his economic team in a meeting at the White House that he intended to stand by his promise not to increase taxes on families making less than $250,000, aides said. He then sent his spokesman out to repeat that message in front of the television cameras.
“The president made a commitment in the campaign. He’s clear about that commitment, and he’s going to keep it,” said Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary.

 That's alright though cause as the DNC executive director says.

it's constitutional. Bitches.

For Citizens the Hits Keep on Coming

Well it looks like the SCOTUS basically gutted Arizona's immigration law
and by extension the attempts of other states to control immigration into their jurisdictions.

In the mean time American citizens pay the price for the federal governments lackadasical enforcement of our borders.

 Mom given bill to clean street after son killed by illegal immigrant driving drunk

GREENVILLE, SC –  A grieving mother told a South Carolina court she was slapped with several bills, including one to clean the street after her son was killed by a drunken driver last year.
Loretta Robinson spoke on June 19 of the emotional and financial toll her son Justin Walker's death had on her as the driver Anna Gonzales, who is an illegal immigrant, pleaded guilty in the case.
Robinson told the judge she has been unable to work due to the emotional impact of her son's death, and can't pay the bills she keeps receiving from the accident even though her son was not at fault, WYFF reports.
"I had to pay to have the vehicle towed," she said according to WYFF. "I had to pay for the vehicle removed and to clean up the street from Justin's blood on the ground."
Robinson said the $50 bill to clean the street stung the most.

This incident begs the question, if Anna Gonzales had been stopped at the border or deported and she wasn't here to drive drunk then couldn't Justin Darryl Walker's life have been spared?

American citizens are nothing more than collateral damage to the forces of illegal immigration and the PC believers. Cannon fodder in an idealogical war and we're losing.
