With
the Imposition of “Obamacare,” the U.S. is Formally a Fascist Country
In
short, just watching what is happening in Washington, D.C. is immediate proof;
Obama’s political supporters, illegal immigrants, given access to the Mall
while Vets are denied access to War Memorials. For those who can make it
there is a huge “come as you are event” at the WWII Veterans’ War Memorial in
Washington, D.C. on October 13th at 9 a.m. All D.C., Virginia, West Virginia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey area Veterans are encouraged to
be there as is anyone else who can do it from anywhere in the Country. More
information can be found at WWW.VetMarch.com. But…read on.
The
House of Representatives originates all spending in the United States, although
that has been tyrannically perverted (by refusing to negotiate with the House),
by Senate Democrats in conjunction with the Obama Administration. During
Obama’s first year, the Democrat controlled Congress added 30% to spending
through the "Stimulus" and "Omnibus" spending bills. Those
two bills combined added $1.2 trillion to annual spending. Since then the
Senate under the leadership of Harry Reid (Incidentally, Nevada is the only
State exempted from the Affordable Care Act.) and as directed by Obama, has not
passed a spending bill. That alone is unconstitutional, but with the current
Administration's Attorney General effectively being an extension of the White
House political machine rather than the independent law enforcement agency it
is supposed to be, nothing can be expected to happen.
There
is one other issue that stands in the way of Constitutional accountability, the
media. It is evident and has been since Obama came on the scene that the media,
aside from “fair and balanced” (and it is), Fox News Channel, and talk radio
that is dominated by conservatives, the media otherwise are shills for the
White House. Fox News dominates Cable and conservative talk radio dominates
talk radio, but those two are insufficient to overcome the combined propaganda
efforts of all other Obama-supporting media.
The
Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare") was passed only by buying and
manipulation of Senate and House votes. Further, it was passed unilaterally by
Democrats during a period when virtually all opinion polls indicated that well
over 60% of the American public strongly opposed the Bill, now Law. The Supreme
Court subsequently held that the Law was unconstitutional unless the penalty
for individuals who declined to buy insurance was relabeled a "tax."

Americans' Freedom, July 7th, 2012.
Annually
since the advent of the Obama Administration, the House has passed legislation
that funds the government. In response to the House funding bill the Senate has
repeatedly stonewalled it, effectively forcing the House to pass a Continuing
Resolution. A Continuing Resolution appropriates the same amount of money that
was appropriated the previous year with a 3% bump up to offset inflation.
Since February 2009 annual spending increased by 30% above the 2008 Federal
Budget baseline. The past 6 years of the Obama Administration have added $7.2
trillion to aggregate spending. The fact that the House is now in the hands of
Republicans did not break that spending cycle since the Senate, which is in the
hands of Democrats steadfastly refuses to negotiate or act on Budgets Passed by
the House, other than to reject them.
It
is a matter of fact that the “Obamacare” Law was unilaterally and
manipulatively passed by a Democrat controlled Congress on the heels of a $1.2
trillion increase in the baseline budget. This has resulted in a $17 trillion
debt ceiling which the Obama Administration wants to increase at the exact time
when the nation is least able to tolerate it. Notably Obama strongly and
repeatedly asserted during the Bush years that increasing the debt limit which
at the time was $8 trillion was unpatriotic. Now we know that his statement was
politically motivated bovine scatology! Nothing new there.
Obama’s
health care objective from before he was elected was to have a nationalized
(single payer) health care system. That is the underlying motive: to force its
introduction while knowing that it will collapse and be followed by
government-run nationalized health care.
In
light of all this, it is unconscionable to move forward with
"Obamacare," a law that arguably destroys businesses; damages the
ability of many of those businesses that continue to afford health care for
their employees; effectively increases the annual cost for health care
insurance by $10 thousand dollars per household except for those that choose to
pay the $95 per person tax (which is subsidized for the “poor”) not to mention
large deductibles; covers illegal aliens who are disguised as citizens; destroys
the 40 hour work week resulting in part time employment for a huge sector of
the population and making it impossible for them to afford insurance; and, is
the formal transformation of the United States into a Fascist country (without
the ultra-nationalism).
