The new motto for the neocommies is;

"Damn the peons, full speed ahead! Implement the agenda, the agenda is everything!"

Wouldn't it be interesting if CNN and FNC both requested waivers of the same Obamacare provisions?

I use the word 'requested' here because 'apply' is inappropriate. 'Beg' might be another possibility or maybe 'buy'.

Added thought;

Here in Western KY we have a company that has locked out it's employees. The dispute hinges on a proposal to drop the healthcare. The union membership has of course remained adamant against the company have refused to compromise. It should be noted that the employees H/C is paid partly by the company and partly by their union, leaving the employee with not having to contribute one red cent. Basically they're striking because, because they've been asked to sacrifice. I don't see this ending well for all parties involved. It would not surprise me to see the company close and relocate.

Now after saying all of the above, I wonder how much they really wanted O-Care? Apparently not enough to give up their own H/C bennies.

"Those who are constantly telling us that our economic problems are caused by not enough "regulation" never distinguish between regulation which simply enforces known rules, as contrasted with regulation that gives arbitrary powers to the government..."

“The planning authority cannot confine itself to providing opportunities (property) for unknown people to make whatever use of them they like. It cannot tie itself down in advance to general and formal rules (U.S. Constitution) which prevent arbitrariness. It must provide for the actual needs of people as they arise and then choose deliberately between them (choosing the tax-eating proletariat class and "intellectuals" over the tax-paying middle class and entrepreneurs).…To say that in a planned society the Rule of Law cannot hold is… not to say that the actions of the government will not be legal or that such a society will necessarily be lawless. It means only that the use of the government’s coercive powers will no longer be limited and determined by pre-established rules. The law can, and to make a central direction of economic activity possible must, legalize what to all intents and purposes remains arbitrary action. If the law says that such a board or authority may do what it pleases, anything that a board or authority does is legal – but its actions are certainly not subject to the Rule of Law. By giving the government unlimited powers, the most arbitrary rule can be made legal, and in this way a democracy may set up the most complete despotism imaginable (Law destructive of Human Rights).“ F. A. Hayek

This is a timely, important column.

An excellent column. Yes, these precedents are important and dangerous.

Other Obama thuggery: The public shakedown of BP. Anyone heard of a lawsuit? How does King Obama know he didn't demand far too *little* money from BP? Now they can say they gave at the office. Worse, a precedent is set for extra-judicial "justice."

"Shut up Fox!" is the strategy of threatening all media with the same drying up of access to the White House if they don't get into their cheerleader outfits. It's a brilliant though brutal strategy. Reagan did better with 5 words: "Well, there you go again!" was a sentence that talked over the heads of the talking heads to the people whose common sense he trusted. ("They'll do anything for a story") was the winking subtext everyone immediately understood and even the media, caught time and again with its little hand in the cookie jar, couldn't help but repress an abashed giggle.

It is only prudent never to place

complete confidence in that by which

we have even once been deceived.

When an ELCTED or a NOMINATED LEGISLATOR dishonors

their PLEDGE to GOD to uphold their OATH,They

suffer a severe consequential reprimend of some

sort.Because,WE cannot trust the HUMAN ELEMENT!

One must refer to what the country was founded on to know if it is heading in the right direction. I have done this, and now know that we, the United States of America, are headed in the wrong direction. As Americans, it is our duty to fix the situation.

Can't anyone - Congress or the Supremes -- stop The President from making Czars and issuing Executive Orders that are rightly legislation subject to discussion and vote? John III

When the constrains of the constitution are no longer in effect the purpose of them is negated. We have spent years watching the Federal government slowly strip away the constitutional requirement that the states are to be granted the right to republican government. States have abrogated their rights and responsibilities and have come to rely on the dole from Washington to fulfill their obligations. We have been sold out and betrayed. I fear greatly for our form of governmenmt as we look to the future. We need to reform and correct this situation.
