Obamacare is Worth Getting Angry About

In November, Republicans will face an incumbent whose failed presidency makes Jimmy Carter look worthy of Mount Rushmore. And they will lose unless they focus like a laser on the two intertwined strands of disastrous DNA that define the Obama era: Obamanomics and Obamacare. It is mystifying, then, that the GOP would risk surrendering either of these issues.

So overwhelmingly unpopular is Obamacare that in his third State of the Union address, President Obama barely made a passing reference to it, the namesake signature issue of his presidency. Why? Because opinion polls have consistently shown that the majority of Americans want it repealed. Outrage over the law fueled a historic tidal-wave election in 2010 in national and state offices that painted a blue map red, a sea change the likes of which America has not seen since Warren Harding was in the White House.

Romneycare is the blueprint for Obamacare and shares its top-down, government-run fundamentals. At its core is the individual mandate that criminalizes anyone who refuses to purchase government-sanctioned health insurance. When confronted with this inconvenient reality, Mitt Romney had this stunning response: “It’s not worth getting angry about.”

    The Ten Planks That Are Destroying Our Country – COMMUNIST MANIFESTO.

    1. Abolition of private property: The foundation of this nation was ownership of property. The settlers came here to insure private ownership of land and our Founding Fathers made it unlawful for government to own land except for the ten square miles of Washington D.C. and such as may be needed for erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, Dockyards and other needful buildings. Today you don’t OWN your home, car, farm or most property. You are just allowed to use it as long as you pay your property taxes, buy a car license, pay for building permits and get permission from the zoning commission. Individual OWNERSHIP is only by virtue of government. To use property we must be in accordance with law and subordinate to the powers of government.

    2. Heavy Progressive Income Tax: I believe all Americans understand the IRS. What most of them don’t realize is that we didn’t have an Income Tax until 1913. Before that year Income Taxes were considered unconstitutional.

    3. Abolition of all rights of Inheritance: We now have Estate Taxes, Inheritance Taxes, also called the Death Tax. Many a farm and small business could not be passed on to the next generation, but had to be sold in order to pay the estate taxes. Many times the IRS forces the sale, as it did in the case of the Roy Rogers Museum sale.

    4. Confiscation of property of all emigrants and rebels: Government seizures, tax liens, private land under Eminent Domain, the IRS taking property without due process and even taking “suspected” drug money from anyone carrying large amounts of cash is nothing but government confiscation of private property

    5. Central Bank: The Constitution called for Congress to “coin Money and regulate the Value thereof,” but since 1913 the Federal Reserve Bank has taken over that duty. The Federal Reserve is a “private” bank that sets interest rates and creates money out of thin air.

    6. Government control of Communications & Transportation: Today we have the Federal Communications Commission, Department of Transportation, Interstate Commerce Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration. You are not allowed to drive your car without a license.

    7. Government control of factories and agriculture: Our government has gained control of the banking industry, finance, automobile production, energy and health care. Department of Commerce, Department of Interior and the Bureau of Land Management, Department of Agriculture; all of which control land use.

    8. Government control of Labor: The Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the minimum wage law control all aspects of American businesses.

    9. Corporate Farms, Regional Planning: Corporate Agriculture now controls markets and prices of farm production. We now have Planning and Reorganization and zoning all across the nation.

    10. Government control of Education: State and Federal Departments of Education, National Education Association, Outcome Based Education, No Child Left Behind; all paid for with tax dollars.

    Karl Marx stated that these ten planks in the Communist Manifesto would be the test whether a country had become communist or not. Is America a Communist nation? Study the manifesto and the laws that have been passed by our Republican and Democrat politicians, and “you determine” if we are or if we are not a Communist Country.

    • Marx

      Commies everywhere. Gotcha. Obama wins and will be laughing while the Reps eat each other and nominate a liberal to go against a liberal. Karl Marx couldn't have done it better. Guess that 2010victory really worked out swell. I'm laughing all the way to cast my busload of lefty friends. Better get your bus ready

    • Erich

      I've been saying that we've been a communist country for years, but like Ron Paul people think I'm nuts. Well I hope those people wake the #ell up before it's tooooo late.

    • John

      Tell it like it is, Raymond ! I served in the Air Force during the Cuban missile crisis. We knew we were about 45 minutes from becoming nuclear ash. I find it hard to deal with the fact that the same people who were willing to attack my country from abroad now live in the White House. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Let's keep our country free !

        Hi John,
        It's a privilege & honor to talk with a fellow vet.
        I was in the USMC from 1972 – 1976.
        My MOS was communications.

        America as a nation has embraced every evil under heaven,
        the fact that there's a bi-sexual muslim who was born in Kenya
        sitting in the oval office is proof of that.

      • budman

        John: I know you were in the Air Force but your comment about us becoming nuclear ash might be a stretch. The Russians would not have been so stupid to attack the U.S. because their arsenal was nowhere near what ours was at that time. They knew the odds and all this was just bluster. They pulled their missiles out of Cuba didn't they.

        I know the entire world believed that Russia had a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons until their hand was forced.

    • scott scarborough

      And Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who speaks against these!

  • anangrygramma

    Hey Raymond…would you care to offer an opinion as to who in Congress will ever have the cajones to have this Marxist brought up on charges of Treason? Our "conservative" candidates sure never mention it, & even those in Congress now that I do respect…Ryan, Rubio. West, sure have said nothing either! How about RP? Thirty plus years supporting his butt, but he couldn't find even 10 members to fight with him?! Insanity, heh?

    • Anthony San Diego

      They're either bought and paid for, threatened or manipulated.
      They are a congress of cowards and traitors and have been for nigh on 100 years.

  • Victoria DeLacy

    Rush is right. Rick Santorum is the only truly worthwhile conservative left in the race. The rest of the primary delegates had better get behind supporting that best of the conservatives among our candidates. It would be a disaster to see RINO Romney (who was endorsed by his fellow RINO) hand another deadly term to Obama the same way that McxCain gave it to Obama in the first place, to the detriment of America. Santorum for President, 2012!

    • PrincessPjilly

      Romney is another Obama and will continue to destroy this country. We are doomed by either Obama or Romney.

  • El Loco

    This 2012 election will decide whether or not this country survives as a republic. We now have half the people receiving government benefits and paying no taxes. They vote early and often and they are not about to see their gravy train derailed. If we don't elect officials who will start governing from a standpoint of personal responsibity/accountability and self reliance and stop promoting policies based on "need", we are done as a nation. We have to eliminate welfare and force people to take responsibility for their lives. We have to eliminate voter fraud. We have to develop our natural resources to develop inexpensive energy so business can then thrive and create jobs. We have to disenfranchise deadbeat social parasites so they can't continually elect welfare pimps into office. We have to roll back all the anti-American social legislation that is destroying the framework of our republic. We have to do these things and a lot more but what are the chances? The communist in the White House still has a chance of being reelected and the whining, rabid, screaming "gimme, gimme, gimme" crowd have institutionalized "poverty" as a divine right and will not allow the election of officials who think they should become self sufficient. Don't even get me started on illegal immigration, the un-American mainstream press or the body of perverts who want extra "rights" for gays, lesbos and other mental abhorrents and want to reform this country into a perverts paradise. The more I think about it, the more I begin to despair of seeing this country being able to continue as the "shining light of democracy in the world".

  • cheryl jessup

    Nothing to get mad about? It's statements like this that leads me to believe Romney is not going to try very hard to re-peal it. He still defends Romney care which Obamacare was patterned after. Can you imagine the debate with those two over this. I recently had a full knee replacement and my surgeon said I was lucky doing it now because the Gov. is insisting on using inferior app[iances. He said I was getting the top of the line but when obamacare kicks in, forget it. I'm 66 and I know I will get inferior healthcare if this isn't repealed completely.
    For all American's who do not want obamacare you have two options, Newt or Santorum. Both of these men will fight to have it repealed

    • PrincessPhilly

      Republican Americans are showing their stupidity and voting for Romney another communists. They say they don't want Obama yet they will vote a white Obama.

  • Ultor

    Just as the two basic and mutually exclusive interrelations between men are peaceful cooperation or coercive exploitation, production or predation, so is the history of mankind, particularly its economic history, may be considered as a contest between these two principals. On one hand, there is creative productivity, peaceful exchange and cooperation; on the other, coercive dictation and predation over those social relations. Both Romney and Obama have demonstrated a desire for the latter. The only difference between these two men is that one is doubling down on his willingness to dictate and coerce, the other is running from his demonstrated history of dictating and coercion.

    While I am not old enough to remember, I was thinking about the McCarthy era and his "witch hunts" to weed out Communism. We have gone from that to a country with a Congress that contains at least 70 avowed Marxists, as well as having a POS who certainly by his actions proves his alliance to the philosophy. I'm afraid Patriots, that we slept too long! Our country is no longer such. I too, fear that we will never reclaim it. Even the Tea Party after such a "sweeping" victory in 2010, seems to have crawled back under a rock, refusing to speak about the current crop of candidates fed to us. We are indeed in real peril!

    Obama supporter gets angry… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWm6bKn8BNQ&fe…

  • Joanne

    After reading this article I have to agree that I am shocked by Ann Coulter's support for Romney. Not only do I disapprove of this healthcare mess I don't like anything being shoved down my throat. Our president is modeling our country after Europe, he wants a Euroamerica so he can rule it all. Very scary for my kids so I will reconsider who I vote for! The question is "Why would Romney have this healthcare in his state when he was Governor?

  • Not Impressed

    Tie Romney and Obama to the signature legislation they were so proud of in the way back when. Tie them with chains of steel.

    Mitt’s stupid comments are actually quite revealing about his ‘inner workings’. After all, this guy changes political direction like a flag at the beach. He was originally against everything he’s for in this campaign. Before McCain became his newest RINO buddy, McCain dug up 200 pages of dirt on Mittens, the top 50 of which are here:
