SCOTUS Decision - In Pictures UPDATED and BUMPED
[orig post 6.29.12 8:22am]
Images found at People's Cube - here and here.
So ObamaCare was ruled constitutional yesterday by the Supreme Court.
It appears the Court did all they could do to maneuver around the Constitution in order to give a thumbs up.
The Administration sent a lawyer to defend it who couldn't complete a sentence. All the 'smart' people on the right said he failed.
The legislation requiredcitizens subjects to buy health coverage. This was the first time ever that a law required citizens subjects to purchase a service.
All the 'smart' people on the right said this was unconstitutional.
By definition, this vote makes ObamaCare constitutional.
To those 'smart' people on the right - why should we look to you ever again as a 'legal expert'?
To those 'smart' people on the right - why didn't you see what the Supreme Court Justices saw?
To those 'smart' people on the right - why wasn't this decision discussed as a possibility?

Quote of the day (2:35 mark):
Chief Justice Roberts saved ObamaCare despite its multiple Constitutional violations.
Prof. Jacobson in another post:
Some well-meaning people are peddling the notion that today’s Obamacare decision was a long term victory, that we lost the battle but won the war, that there was some master plan by Chief Justice Roberts to gut the expansion of Commerce Clause power under the fig leaf of a majority ruling upholding the mandate under Congress’s taxing power.
---
If this were some other more narrow law, if this was not a monumental takeover of the most private aspects of our lives, if this monstrosity would not cause such long term damage to our health care system, if this law was not Obamacare ….
I might be inclined to agree with you.
But it is Obamacare, it is the takeover of a substantial portion of our economy which empowers the federal government to write tens of thousands of pages of regulations telling us how to live and how to die.
This was the hill to fight on for any conservative Justice of the Supreme Court.
Yet because the conservative Chief Justice sided with the liberal Justices on the result, we have Obamacare.
Whether the Chief Justice did it out of good faith belief in the correctness of his opinion (which is what I believe) or as part of some master plan (the theory some are peddling), the result is the same: Until further notice Obamacare is the law of the land.
Sure, we now are motivated for November. And maybe in the end we will get rid of Obamacare.
But that is then and this is now.

Ann Barnhardt responds to Republicans who see a silver lining in this SCOTUS case:
Do you people not have functioning brains? Is there truly no capacity for any intelligent thought or the ability to recall and parse objective facts and evidence? Really?
---
Chief Justice John Roberts emotionally operates on the same level as the average twelve year old girl, and just sold out not just the Republic, the Constitution and the entire American populace, but really the entire planet, because now that the United States is no more, the forces of evil will run absolutely rampant over the rest of the planet.
---
Roberts just ratified the “right” for the government to tax people on their existence. Either you purchase a service commodity, thus paying a tax which is collected by the insurance company itself, or you will pay a tax to the IRS directly.
---
Oh, but all of the dumbasses out there swear up and down that this step in the battle for the Republic had to be lost so that we could later, in some grand strategy, win the war.
Listen dumbasses, the war is already lost. YOU JUST LOST IT. You didn’t just sac your queen in order to set up a checkmate. Your ass just got checkmated and Barry Obama is sitting on the couch lighting up a joint, and texting Reggie Love to come over for a little celebratory
---
Bottom line, if you continue to argue that Roberts’ decision was anything less than the end of the Republic, then you are either a total jackass, or you are despicable liar looking to keep some stream of revenue or power concentration flowing. And may God forgive you for whichever sin you choose to wallow in; unrepentant cowardice, unrepentant willful stupidity or unrepentant greed; because, knowing what’s coming, I’m not sure I can.

She nearly starved in North Korea.
She escaped to China, and like most female defectors, was captured by sex-traders and sold as a wife.
North Koreans live in fear in China as they can be sent back to North Korea which means detention in their Gulag system. Execution occurs if defectors came in contact with Christian missionaries in China.
She lived that life for 9 years and had two children.
Her second escape was to South Korea via the aid organization LiNK - Liberty in North Korea.
Here is LiNK's blog post with a big DONATE button at the bottom.

SCOTUS Tomorrow
Will ObamaCare win and America lose? Or will the idea of liberty be refreshed? Tomorrow's universal mandated tryannical government healthcare decision will be the only news.
Some will not sleep well tonight. Some won't sleep at all.
We sorta feel like a small child on Christmas Eve....
Twas the night before SCOTUS, when all through the white house ,
Not a creature was stirring, not even the louse.
The fake outrage was prepped by Axelrod with care,
But still hoping that Karl Marx soon would be there.
The commies were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of redistribution danced in their heads.
Sasquatch in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for tonight's fitful nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I put down my choom to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The twin plumps Sotomayor and Elena Kagan,
Were playing softball and quoting Reagan.
"Man is not free unless government is limited."
Government healthcare should be prohibited.
Obama pondered their comments, was this a sign?
Will tomorrows SCOTUS announcement be a whopping decline?
Maybe I can distract with a trip to Colorado,
A story of my first date, or the hate for this mulatto.

National Socialists are Not Right Wing
Wild Bill is the latest to take on one of the favorite comparisons of brain-dead government-school liberals progressives communists: Political options in European 20th Century compare equally to the options American voters face today. In other words:
Just because you went to public school does not mean you are excused from knowing how stupid this argument is.
In 20th Century Europe there were two options: Fascism and Communism.
We will have only two options in November: Communism or Freedom.
Notice the difference?
The Soviets were the left (Democrats), and the Nazis were the "right" (Republicans).

Character
Andrew Klaven discusses Character and Obama in his PJ Media article, The Contents of Obama's Character.
A great article, but we wanted to praise Andrew for another reason. His hook.
There are three types of writers. Anyone can write an article. Some can put a hook at the start that captures the reader. And then there are some who can master the hook, and write an article that pulls the reader through.
Here is his hook:
Now go read the rest! Andrew's close is as good as his open!

Money Talk
Hat owner, Ann Barnhardt, interviewed with Warren Pollock again.
Just another conversation about the economic peril we find ourselves in, with about 70% of the conversation focusing on the historical parallels with Communism.
Communism. As in the total loss of freedom and wealth.
Communism. As in thousands dead per day.
It is about time our conversations about Europe's debacle, and the potential disaster here in the states, include historical precedents and the impact on freedom.
As usual, Ann is taking point.

Still Not Working
Trying to laugh at those who are calling Our Dear Leader a "socialist" continues to fall flat.
It is imperative for this strategy to work, as the election clock is ticking and those right-wingers must be thumped back into that state of embarrassment for their party and their candidate.
Having the above-average comedian Jon Stewart joke about this isn't even working. We can imagine that Comedy Central audience, sitting in the dark behind the cameras, all leaning forward biting their nails thinking "Come on Jon, use your magic and discredit those name callers." Puhllleeease!
We found this Daily Show clip at Democratic Socialists of America's site.
There is a pattern. Lefties hit this subject from the same direction every time. They purposely avoid defining "socialism" whenever they choose to argue that Obama is not a socialist. Prepare yourself for a Nathan Thurm-like debate.
So what is the definition?
Amazingly, we saw this definition on the home page of the next site we visited, The Communist Party USA:
Another definition, this time from the Party of Socialism and Liberation (PSL):
Did you see?

"Where people and nature come before profits.

Another definition, this time from the Party of Socialism and Liberation (PSL):
A point of clarity about the use of the world “socialism.” By socialism, we mean the goal of our struggle: a world free from exploitation, racism, war and oppression, a classless society. It is the peaceful, planned society that Albert Einstein referred to in his 1949 essay titled “Why Socialism?”
By socialism, we also mean the efforts to construct that society, including the experiences of those revolutions that have uprooted capitalism and began constructing a society in the interests of the working class—both the successes and the failures. In this sense, we are not referring to an ideal but to a historical project.
Third, by socialism we mean the revolutionary struggle to achieve the goal of a classless society. As several of the articles here point out, there is a ruling class in the United States that benefits enormously from the capitalist system of exploitation, and it will not give up its power without a fight. So while in 1848, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels could not call their essay the “Socialist Manifesto” for fear of being mistaken for the non-revolutionary socialists that then dominated the working-class landscape, today we see in socialism its original fighting program.
“But don’t you mean communism?” some might ask. The answer is yes. While Marx and Lenin distinguished communism as a classless society compared to socialism as a society where the state was withering away, we see the two as inextricably linked.
In other words, when we answer the question, “Why socialism?” we are answering why we need revolutionary change in the United States.

Book Recommendation
We just finished Nothing to Envy by Barbara Demick and wanted to make a point to recommend this to anyone interested in the recent trends within North Korea.
Published in 2010, this book offers a review of what has changed in the communist country, and how things may play out. Specifically - a collapse.
Here are our book notes. We've added this book to our Library list at the left.

What is the plan?
Breaking - Obama demands privilege with Fast & Furious documents, digs in heels with Holder.
What is the plan here? They know a contempt vote will happen this week. How do they plan to turn this into a campaign issue that will help their cause?
Kudos to Issa. We have a need for justice.
Of the blogs we'd go to for insight, only Michelle Malkin has posted so far.
UPDATE 3:45pm:
Facebook Friend Jack links to this video of South Carolina congressman Trey Gowdy explaining the charge with passion.
We're still unclear how this is helping the Obama 2012 campaign. Anyone who is committed to voting for Obama in 2012 is a criminal, as Obama has no record to run on and the only reason to vote for him is to get "free stuff".
Anyone committed to voting for Obama in 2012 is a communist. Communists are criminals who turn to government to point a barrel of a gun at producers and force the producers within the society to turn over their wealth to the government for redistribution to the takers. The "free stuff". Or as Ayn Rand calls them, the looters.

And yes, this does give clear and unmistakable lie to the Holder spin that Fast and Furious was just a local, little nothing-burger contretemps out of Arizona that had nooooothing to do with DOJ and the executive branch. Executive privilege applies to communications in which the president, ahem, was directly involved.

Forget it. I’m done. You deserve what they’re saying about you. It’s earned. You have worked long and hard to merit the suspicion, acrimony, mistrust and revulsion that the media-buying public increasingly heaps upon you. You have successfully eroded any confidence, dispelled any trust, and driven your audience into the arms of the Internet and the blogosphere, where biases are affirmed and like-minded people can tell each other what they hold to be true, since nobody believes in objective reality any more. You have done a superlative job of diminishing what was once a great profession and undermining one of the vital underpinnings of democracy, a free press.

2) We're getting sick of the commercialization of gun blogs. Heavy ads and multiple writers suggests diluted opinions and a focus more on making $$ than blogging.
We aren't deleting the commercial blogs, but we are moving them to their own, less important, bookmark folder.
After: a little bit better!

Obama Has Gone Rogue...
Our Dear Leader announced that undocumented people will not be deported from the United States. (Link: The Hill)
You'll recall, his predecessors in the Communist Dictator Thug mold did everything they could to keep undocumented people out of their countries. Further, they emphasized documentation at every checkpoint.
Our Dear Leader has gone rogue.
Do you see any undocumented workers in this 1958 photo of a Soviet factory floor?

You thought just the banks in Greece are in crisis?
ZeroHedge - "A Matter Of Life And Death": The Collapsing Greek Health-Care System Is In Critical Condition. An article about other current events in Greece.
...one aspect of the Greek collapse into hell has gotten lost: the complete failure of the Greek healthcare system.
As the following Reuters report shows, regardless of the outcome on Sunday, it just may be too late to preserve the future of Greek sickcare, and with that, of the entire population:
"The country's state hospitals are cutting off vital drugs, limiting non-urgent operations and rationing even basic medical materials for exhausted doctors as a combination of economic crisis and political stalemate strangle health funding. "It's a matter of life and death for us," said Persefoni Mitta, head of the cancer patients' association, recounting the dozens of calls she gets a day from patients needing pricey, hard-to-find cancer drugs. "Why are they depriving us of life?""
They are depriving of you of life, Persefoni, because in old times, when a given country was enslaved, there was a specific aggressor that the people could revolt against. Now, when the slave-master is debt, and thus one's own desire to live beyond their means, it is far more difficult to look in the mirror and to revolt against what one sees. Which is why, one day at a time, the Greek civilization will continue to suffer the terminal consequences of infinite debt serfdom, until finally, after two thousand years, it no longer exists.
"We're not talking about painkillers here - we've learned to live with physical pain - we need drugs to keep us alive," Mitta, a petite former marathon runner and herself a cancer survivor, said in a voice shaky with emotion.
The shortage of paper, which is thrown out after each patient has used it, means corners have to be cut on hygiene.
"Sometimes we take a bed sheet instead and use it for several patients," said Kiki Kiale, a radiologist specialising in cancer screening. "It's tragic but there's no other solution."

When you scrape away all the Hope and Change, this is what Our Dear Leader wants, and we can expect the same excuses from him and his commissars when "economic crisis" hits here.

Freedom - There is a gray area?
Ever wonder just how free you are?
In the EU, via IrishTimes:
Why should travel be restricted just because abunch of worthless government beaurocrats currency fails?
How much would Obama let you withdraw from the ATM if the US were to face fiscal crisis?

As well as limiting cash withdrawals and imposing capital controls, they have discussed the possibility of suspending the Schengen agreement, which allows for visa-free travel among 26 countries, including most of the European Union.

Do You See This Too?
It doesn't get any easier. Even those who attended public school should be able to see what we see here.
Michelle Obama said this in Virginia 4 days ago:
That same day she said this in Philadelphia (story and photo from CNN):
Today's Drudge Headline:
Is this lost wealth? Redistributed wealth? Reparations?
"We have to keep moving forward.
We’re working to finish what we started."
That same day she said this in Philadelphia (story and photo from CNN):
"And in the end, it all boils down to one simple question: Will we continue the change we've begun and the progress we've made, or will we allow everything we've fought for to just slip away?"
