Individual Mandate Picking On Individuals to Tax: UPDATED

[SEE THE FOOT OF THE POST–in the “more” section–FOR AN UPDATE FROM FAIRTAX.ORG]

It seems to me that “individual mandates” as delineated by Justice Roberts’ majority opinion in National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius [pdf file] (the “Obamacare” decision) have long been with us. The “feddle gummint’s” taxation power, exercised through the IRS, has long treated different people differently, taxing some more than others, excluding some from taxation because of behaviors the “feddle gummint” wants to encourage, while taxing those “others” more because they don’t do something the “feddle gummint” wants them to.

It seems to me that the two Very Good Lessons we can draw from this decision are

1. ALL the Dhimmicraps (The Zero and his co-conspirators and the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind and all the Academia Nut Fruitcakes, et al) who promoted Obamacare deliberately, maliciously and wittingly LIED THPOUGH THEIR TEETH to get the thing passed.
2. Justice Roberts very wisely (Niccolò Machiavelli would’ve handed him a gold star) didn’t leave it at obliquely pointing out what liars the Obamacare supporters are but placed the responsibility for fixing the mess where it belongs when he said of the Court:

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

Bingo!

My exegesis? If you abhor this law as much as you should, then get up off your fat lazy asses and WORK to elect representatives who will overturn it, and in the future pay more attention to electing representatives who genuinely have the republic’s interests at heart.

Here’s Why Anthropogenic Global Warming May Be One of The Zero’s “Shiny Object” Distractors Sometime During the Next Few Months

[Don’tcha just love loooooong blogpost titles? YW. :-)]


We’ve already seen how The Zero and his minions like to hand-wave and point at shiny objects to distract the stupid from his record and even from his contemporary acts. And we’ve already seen how well that works out for him with the non-terminally stupid among the electorate in his ever sinking poll numbers.

So, of course, that’s why at some point he and his minions will try to pointy at something they’ve been polishing up to “prove” that The Romney Android 2.X is hell-bent on murdering Gaia. After all, in a recent online (unscientific, but indicative and in general agreement with more serious) poll The Toronto Sun, a paper in a very libtardic-dominated area, offered an interesting take:

Given that

“The Romney Android 2.X wants to murder Gaia!” is a sure winner with the Loony Left Moonbat Moron Brigade and

A sure *yawn* or even *giggle* with anyone who has more active brain cells than a cracked crock of kimchi and thus a guaranteed LOSER tactic,

It’s almost a certainty that we’ll see this bright shiny object (of worship by members of the Cult of Anthropogenic Global Climate Scatre-ism and of derision by anyone else) waved at some point.

Don’t get cocky folks, but do enjoy the farce.


BTW, folks, here’s one of the things The Zero and his minions (which pretty much includes MSNBC, et al) will be waving shiny objects to distract morons’ attention from:

Oops. By Hivemind Standards, nearly 1-in-4 North Carolinian Blacks Are Racists

It’s a fact. By Hivemind Standards “proving racism” (ANY opposition to The Zero=”racism” according to Hivemind Standards), almost 1/4 of North Carolina’s Black voters are racists.

The Zero received 95% of the “Black” vote in 2008. Recent polls place his support significantly lower in that group:

Not only that, but if you notice, a firm 20% are “self-haterz” (again, Hivemind definitions in operation), since they have come off the Dhimmicrappic Race-Baiting Plantation to declare for The Romney Android 2.X.

Whatever is the world coming to? opposition to The Zero=”racism” according to Hivemind Standards

Hivemind Memory Hole

The Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind loves to deride people with honest questions about The Zero, labeling them “birthers” and excoriating them as being racists.

But that’s not. What about “then”?

Yep. The Hivemind’s got some ‘splainin’ to do… “Fact-checking error” for well over a decade and a half? In materials approved by The Zero himself?

I guess I am a “birther” then, since I want some verifiable documentary evidence of The Zero’s background. I dunno… maybe some things like other folks who aspired to and achieved the office actually produced when questions, lime Chester A. Arthur’s proof of his native born citizenship (I must be a racist for bringing up another president whose native born citizenship was questioned, eh?) or the college records of G.W. Bush or even Jean Fraud sKerry…

So, how about it Barry? Since you fail E-Verify, how about providing some real documentary evidence to back up your current narrative?

A real birth certificate (I got an actual photostatic duplicate copy of mine just last year: easy-peasy).
Occidental College records?
Columbia College records?
Columbia Thesis paper?
Harvard College records?
Selective Service Registration?
How about a legitimate SSN?

Seriously, Barry, just put all these nasty inconsistencies to rest by opening your records to public scrutiny. After all, you have nothing to hide, do you?

BTW, Barry, have you updated your wife as to your latest narrative? Referring to you in December of 2007, she said,

“What it reminded me of was our trip to Africa, two years ago, and the level of excitement that we felt in that country – the hope that people saw just in the sheer presence of somebody like Barack Obama – a Kenyan… “

So, she still thought in 2007 that you were a KENYAN? CLarify please. No, not spin and lie, just the facts, Barry.
