| Elections have consequences. The president signed a law which forces citizens to purchase a product simply on the virtue that they are alive. Our Supreme Court upheld the law, giving the government the power to tax inactivity. When the law is fully implemented, we may see a shift from our role as citizens to subjects. Instead of “pay for play,” it will become “pay, if you play our way.” We are moving slowly down this path, and can begin to see the cliff before us. Still, there is time to slow the process and change course.

The endless gush of additional rules and regulations CAUSED by the initial legislation is the purpose of the whole exercise. The Dictator needs to be arbitrary and contradictory and changeable and even whimsical in his proclamations or else it´s really no fun being the Dictator.

Bad news, Justin. There haven´t been any citizens here since 1865. Menchen: "The American people, north and south, went into the [civil} war as citizens of their respective states. They came out [of the war] as subjects and what they thus lost they have never got back."

I was really sick. I knew I needed to be in the hospital. I went into up to the emergency room counter and threw up on it (not on purpose). I was in my own bed in my own room withing 30 minutes.

This should be a must read. Nobody gets that the future of Obamacare is reduced care.
My inlaws are big Democrats and they´ll be hard hit by the ACA. They just don´t know it because they refuse to believe the sources who are trying to tell them the truth.

Unfortunately, the Repubs eem to be standing on the sidelines, howling about each and everything that Zippy and his henchmen do, yet doing nothing about it when they have the chance, other than allow it to occur and continue.
They are complicit ion every problem this nation faces today. It is time to remove them all, dissolve thenGOP, and see the birth of a new party that believes in the principles of our founding fathers. Maybe it´s the Libetarians, or maybe it is a new party, but the GOP is never going to recover the support they burned in the 2012 election, and that Boehner will finish as he caves on raising taxes and fixing nothing.
Criminal losers all.

Warnings were out there and you didn´t have to search for them. I spoke to an untold number of people--every chance I had. I wasn´t popular with a lot of them. And I have a friend who passed out printed copies of warning articles by reputable writers. I wonder how many Ldotters did the same? Thousands, at least.
People didn´t believe it before the election, they don´t believe it now. It´s going to take too long for the word to spread and for people to believe there´s a serious problem.
All I can suggest is: be kind to your PCP and staff. There will come a time when you need them very badly and showing respect and appreciation will help. At least send a Christmas card. Better would be a box of candy--anything as a token of your appreciation.

I am the mom of two children who were born with birth defects. One child had Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. It is 100% fatal if they do not get heart surgery immediately after birth and then there is a heart transplant somewhere in the future. My son died because we didn´t know he had it.
Thanks to strides in heart surgery and promising advances in stem cell research, more children with HLHS are living, but there are none beyond the age of 30 because the technology is still so new. Baby Faye, who in 1984 received the heart of a baboon, was an infant with HLHS.
My daughter, who is now 4, was born with a sacrococcygeal (say-crow-cox-ee-gee-al) teratoma and while hers was relatively simple, there are many children I know who had incredibly complicated ones weighing anywhere up to 5 lbs at birth. About 100 kids in the US are born with these each year. If they can make it to birth....and make it through the surgery, kids with SCT go on to live fairly normal lives.....cont....

....continued from above....
However, some kids do have bowel and bladder issues and a few can have issues with walking. Again, stem cell research has shown a promising future regarding the regrowth or bowels, bladders, and in some cases nerves.
All this is going to stop because of Obamacare. There will be no more innovative research done for conditions such as these because the initial onset is very very costly. For my daughter to have her teratoma removed was around 110K in 2008, not to mention I had to fly to Atlanta from Montana in order to have her there....which was not covered by insurance....we gladly paid that.
Both of my children had conditions where abortion is routinely advised. This will become more and more persistent because there just simply will not be treatment options for children born with these conditions.
It makes me sick.

Margaret Thatcher captured Americans’ hearts and minds in a way few other foreign leaders have done, and much of that was because of the symbiotic relationship she had with President Reagan — a relationship that in many ways mirrored the storied “special” friendship between the two countries. Mrs. Thatcher, who died Monday at age 87, was a tough-talking maverick who was bullish on the promise of the U.S. as a force on the international stage. Those traits appealed to Americans weary of the 1970s malaise and eager to hear reasons to believe in themselves. “She had the perfect balance between

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Guess which country is the world’s largest oil producer. No, it’s not Saudi Arabia or Russia. It’s the United States, which passed Saudi Arabia in November of 2012, according to data from the federal Energy Information Administration and reported in Investors Business Daily. In 2012 American domestic output rose by an astonishing 800,000 barrels a day. That’s more than total oil production in such middling oil producers as Argentina, and the greatest single-year increase in the United States since Edwin Drake drilled the first well in 1859. That has consequences far beyond the oil patches

“UNLESS WE change our ways and our direction, our greatness as a nation will soon be a footnote in the history books, a distant memory of an offshore island, lost in the mists of time like Camelot, remembered kindly for its noble past.” Margaret Thatcher, never given to understatement, presented that grim vision for Britain in 1979, the year she became prime minister. Then, for the next 11½ years — almost as long as three U.S. presidential terms — she worked with fierce determination and unrelenting stubbornness to dispel it

A new CNN/ORC International poll found President Obama´s overall approval rating has ticked up to 51 percent but ratings have fallen on his handling of the key issues on his agenda: immigration, guns, and the deficit. On immigration, 44 percent approve of the way he is handling the issue, down from 51 percent in January. At the same time, disapproval has jumped to 50 percent, up from 43 percent in January. On guns, 45 percent approve and 52 percent disapprove, the poll found. In January, 46 percent approved and 49 percent dispproved. And on the deficit, 38 percent approve

But the 15-year-old from Baltimore said she cares more about her message. “The biggest part of this is that the pro-gun, Second Amendment argument is getting publicity,” she said. “I like that it actually got out there, and not just because it’s me, but because it’s the argument.”

A growing number of senators are trying to quash gun legislation before it even hits the chamber floor as Democrats hold out hope for a compromise and the White House gears up for a weeklong offensive to pressure Congress to act. Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, said as many as 13 senators now publicly support a filibuster on the motion to proceed on pending gun legislation, which effectively would block debate on the bill. “When you’re in a snake pit, you kill a snake any time and chance that you get,”

In interviews on “Fox News Sunday” and ABC’s “This Week,”Dan Pfeiffer, a senior White House adviser, pointed out that 90 percent of Americans support President Obama’s plan to expand background checks on citizens who purchase guns, and he pressured Republicans to get on board with what he said where “common-sense measures.” “You can’t get 90 percent of Americans to agree on the weather,” Mr. Pfeiffer said on “Fox News Sunday.” Mr. Pfeiffer warned that a potential Republican filibuster

Two influential Republicans commended the White House on separate news talk shows Sunday for striking an effective balance by allowing senior Cabinet members to issue cautionary remarks in response to North Korea, while also strategically adjusting the U.S. military posture in the region. “This administration’s acted responsibly,” said Sen.

The world’s greatest deliberative body has started to look a lot like its legislative little brother over the past few years. The Senate was once regarded as the home of the great political orators of the time — not to mention the body where true dealmaking actually took place. Its members prided themselves on their cool approach to legislating, in contrast with the more brawling nature of the House. Senators, generally, liked one another — no matter their party — and weren’t afraid to show it, either personally or politically. No longer. The Senate has undergone a marked transformation

Prospects for a bipartisan deal to expand federal background checks for gun purchases are improving with the emergence of fresh Republican support, according to top Senate aides. The possibility that after weeks of stalled negotiations senators might be on the cusp of a breakthrough comes as President Obama and his top surrogates will begin on Monday their most aggressive push yet to rally Americans around his gun-control agenda. Even though polls show that a universal background-check system is supported by nine in 10 Americans, the president has been unable to translate popular support

However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
