Statists are ascendant. We need no further proof than having witnessed the Obama - Pelosi Health Care bill being rammed through Congress late on a Saturday night. At American Thinker, Jon N. Hall writes...

But now Congress is ramming through their abortion of a bill by the thinnest of majorities. The House just passed its version 220 to 215 -- a 3-vote margin to pass the "mother of all entitlements." The Senate is considering its options, among them the "nuclear option" (called "reconciliation"), which would allow them to get around a filibuster.

If Congress were to do the right thing and initiate an amendment to enshrine the "individual mandate" in the Constitution...it would fail miserably. If America is still America, Americans will not tolerate being told they have to buy something, especially if it's for no other reason than that they exist. If ObamaCare becomes law, folks will drop their insurance out of principle. They'll file suits against the feds. The states will resist, perhaps rebel. And great will be the tumult thereof.

I'm afraid Congress has not only misread the Constitution, but they've also misjudged the American people. Or maybe they just don't know what country they live in.

Well, Jon, the purpose of these statist proggtards is to fundamentally CHANGE the country they live in. I'm not alone in fearing that they will destroy it in the process.

OH, some good news: that so-called 'Republican' who voted for ObamaCare, GOP Congressman Anh "Joseph" Cao (R, LA) is losing support in his district...

NEW ORLEANS — The only Republican in the House to vote for a Democrat-backed health care bill says two fundraisers for him have been canceled since Saturday’s vote.

Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao (gow) said Tuesday some campaign contributors have also asked for their money back.

...

Cao, a Vietnamese-American, represents a mostly black, mostly Democratic New Orleans-based district. He narrowly defeated Democratic incumbent William Jefferson last year after Jefferson was indicted on corruption charges.

Well, his hands were tied then. When in KatrinaLand, comprised mostly of looters and moochers, you have to do as they want you to do. Obviously.
