Obamacare is legal, according to the Supreme Court. Now it’s up to us to make it toxic.
It’s now a political issue. I think many Americans believed the court would do the right thing and toss the individual mandate so people weren’t pushing Romney too hard or the GOP. Now, everything’s changed. Now it’s up to our politicians to get rid of it.
We have to make this Supreme Court decision the worst thing that ever happened to President Obama. We have to get fired up. That means it’s up to us to vote the Dems out in such major numbers that somehow magically the GOP grows a spine and tosses the darn thing out. This issue just became paramount in this campaign and we need to make Romney stick to his word to us.
You know who gets it? Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) President Marjorie Dannenfelser got it right away and sent out this statement ten minutes after the Supreme Court made their announcement.
“From the outset, Obamacare is fundamentally flawed legislation because it makes American taxpayers complicit in the deaths of countless unborn children,” said SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser. “Today’s decision to uphold the individual mandate to force individuals to purchase health care plans that offend their conscience is incredibly disappointing.
“Over the last four years, President Obama has revealed his loyalty to the abortion industry. At no time was this clearer than during the health care reform debate, when he fought tenaciously for the largest expansion of taxpayer funding of abortion on demand since Roe v. Wade. As the presidential race heats up, the Susan B. Anthony List will continue to remind American voters where the President’s allegiance truly lies. We will not stop fighting until every U.S. taxpayer is freed from under-writing the abortion business.”
We can take a few minutes to be in shock about this. And the Dems can enjoy their touchdown dance for a bit. Democratic Party Executive Director Patrick Gaspard tweeted “it’s constitutional. Bitches.”
Seriously. That’s what he wrote. Class.
Now, the fight begins. Now.
Now that Obamacre has been labeled a tax by the Supreme Court, let’s hang the largest tax increase in the history of America around Obama’s neck.

Great Cristian ethic there. Make it toxic. "we laugh because we believe" must be like Fox's "fair and balanced". Like the 300 pounder we call "Tiny".

There is nothing un-Christian about making an unethical governmental policy toxic to someone's political career. ~Kristy

Christian ethics don't require anyone to roll over and accept whatever the government mandates. If that were the case, we'd have given up on abortion long ago. An unjust law is no law!

OK, lets not call it toxic – lets call it evil because it is!

Looks like the Chief Justice has outed himself…

Alito had always supported large sweeping federal powers. While in most cases his generally conservative leanings have supported "Republican"
stances. Today he had a chance to give the president powers similar to an augustus and he jumped at it.

I think Gaspard's language is appropriate, because I certainly of feel like someone's police-state prison bitch today.

Perhaps if the bishops didn't support ObamaCare before they opposed it, the opposition might have had a better chance. But the bishops don't understand either economics or the Constitution, and don't give a damn about freedom (unless it's their own to act arbitrarily, as they've done for centuries). They only care about superficial platitudes about "social justice" that give the state more centralized power.
Well, USCCB, I hope you're happy. Maybe now you'll consider the consequences of your initial support, you miserable idiots.
Then again, perhaps God allows such miserable idiots to be leaders as part of His judgement….

So, I'm now a bitch because I don't like Obummercare. Well, wait till November, And I'll turn into a son of a bitch and vote you out Barry!

By all authoritative accounts prior to this decision, the ObaMADministration lawyer completely botched the case. And yet, they still pull off a win? The SCOTUS decision defies reason.
Can there be much doubt that something sinister (diabolical) is working to undermine the rule of law when inalienable rights are so easily undermined, trounced, dismissed…?

Warren, you might be closer to the truth than you realize….

Warren, your comments are frightening. Could BHO be the charismatic precursor to an apocalypse, a diabolical harbinger? Our nation is approaching the precipice.
