Just a Caleb and Moe video to post, and I’ve put all the speeches from Atlanta up. Going to turn to working on some fun compilations next.

Thanks for doing that Dave.

Nullification

DerKrieger (Diary) Monday, August 10th at 10:58PM EST (link)

This is a really good site: http://www.azhealthcarefreedomact.com/

AZ is ready to pass a constitutional amendment basically opting the state out of Obamacare.

FL may do the same: http://www.azhealthcarefreedomact.com/article/florida-the-latest-state-to-consider-rejecting-federal-health-care-scheme

John Harwood on CNBC believes....

St_Louis_Conservative (Diary) Monday, August 10th at 10:59PM EST (link)

……that the townhalls are destroying the “bipartisan” Senate finance committee prospects, and thus, are leading the Dems to write a more partisan, liberal bill.

My question is – while that might be able to be crammed through the house, I don’t see the senate passing a hardcore left-wing partisan bill on reconciliation. There are several Dems who are not on board with the public option, and reconciliation opens up enough procedural tactics through its usage that the GOP could effectively eviscerate the bill before it was voted on – not to mention the fact that it would truly shut down the senate for the rest of this congress.

Thoughts??

I think if this passes we will see many Red states push back and nullify Obamacare within their borders. Obamacare IS unconstitutional so the states have every right under the 10th Amendment to tell the Fed to go pound sand. Bring it!

…of the movie is even darker

“It depicts a Dystopian future society in which population and the consumption of resources are managed and maintained in equilibrium by the simple expediency of killing everyone who reaches the age of thirty, preventing overpopulation.”

Sounds like a Liberal Utopia.

slander

larryh Tuesday, August 11th at 10:29AM EST (link)

This fear mongering and slander needs to stop. It adds nothing to the debate.

Kindly explain to us

oblio Tuesday, August 11th at 10:42AM EST (link)

Why this is fear mongering
What specifically is slanderous

Show your work.

TIA

Let me explain

larryh Tuesday, August 11th at 1:51PM EST (link)

18,000 people a year die in this country because they lack health insurance (Institute of Medicine – 2007) so if you are really concerned about people being dying for lack of healthcare you should support universal access to health insurance. Do you?

The burden of proof to show how “Obamacare” is burying people as the cartoon suggests is on the cartoonist and on Redstate which has expressed this opinion several times in the past several days. Without that proof, then yes that is fearmongering and that is slander. Not so much slander against President Obama who has not seen and not signed any health insurance reform proposal, but to every Democratic member of the Senate HELP Committee and to all but one, two and three Democratic members of three different House Committees that have passed Health Insurance Reform proposals. It is also slander against the AMA, the AARP and several other public interest groups that have endorsed these proposals. All these groups are promoting killing people? Really? Yes, that is fear-mongering and that is slander.

Libel, actually. The term that you meant was 'libel.'

Moe Lane (Diary) Tuesday, August 11th at 2:07PM EST (link)

And truth is a defense to that anyway.

Was there anything else? No, there wasn’t anything else.

Blam.
