From Philip Klein at the WashingtonExaminer.com
President Obama's solicitor general, defending the national health care law on Wednesday, told a federal appeals court that Americans who didn't like the individual mandate could always avoid it by choosing to earn less money.
And that's just the first paragraph.
Is this a prescription for more slothfulness? More lazy bones on welfare and food stamps? I'm sure this is fine with Obama, after all, the more people dependent upon government handouts, more people ready to pull that level for their democrat enablers.
This is what passes for compassionate governance in the minds of liberals. Anyone deigning to earn more money-- enough to live above poverty --must be made to pay out the ass to government so government can be compassionate to the slothful, government-schooled, uneducated masses too ignorant to think for themselves. Ready and willing to vote their continued subsistence on welfare. Moochers feeding off the productive at government's invitation.
This president disgusts me.
LOVE IT. I read the real truth about this and thought, "Oh, this is for sure going to show up on one of the wing nut blogs I read."
ReplyDeleteAnd HERE IT IS! Thanks, EL. Shall I explain? OK.
The above quote is NOT what the solicitor general was advocating. Of course the "quote" is taken out of context. The SG cited a case as precedent. The judge suggested that the case was different from the current case because a motel owner who didn't want to allow blacks to stay at his motel could exit the business to avoid complying with the law. The SG offered a counter argument saying that if the judge wanted "to play that game," then it was equally true that under the Affordable Care Act, an individual could chose to make less money as an alternative to complying with the individual mandate".
The SG did not suggest that anybody do this. He simply pointed out that it was a way to avoid the mandate just as the motel owner could avoid his mandate by exiting the business. It was a legal argument to defend his citing of a legal precedent.
Of course if your source of news is Fox & Friends, you might have the "ammo" to come up with your faulty post conclusion.
Which makes you an even bigger fool that we all know. He said it... parse it however you wish, but the man said it. Now, I don't know if the administration actually hopes folks opt to earn less, but this is just another chink in the armor of Obamacare.
ReplyDeleteNo faulty post conclusion. Just you "read[ing] the real truth" from one of your own ideological handlers who tells you what to think and how to respond to "the lies from the evil right."
"the man said it"
ReplyDeleteAs one fool to another, nobody denies what the SG said. What is deniable is that he advocated that, which is clearly the suggestion of your post and the link you included. He didn't and to suggest that he did is reckless disregard for the truth.
And to draw the conclusion that you did in your post based on Klein's hackery is what makes YOU the fool.
Parse it anyway you like.
And that's you to the tee, isn't it Jim? ANYONE who prints something you think is wrong is a hack or fool. So, by your standard, every author who criticizes the Obama status quo is a hack-- or worse, a fool. In the world according to Jim, no one on the right who criticizes Obama has a legitimate complaint, and no one on the left who praises him can ever be wrong.
ReplyDeleteKlein is a hack because YOU disagree with his analysis; not because he IS a hack, but because you think only a hack would ever disagree with your god Obama. But, in terms of intellectual honesty, you're a fraud because your lips are planted on the ass of your ideology; you feed off the shite flung your way by the left.
I suppose you agree that Rep. Weiner shouldn't resign for twittering his shlong to women other than his wife? Which would only make you the worst kind of hypocrite. Weiner lied to his staff, his wife, the media, everyone... and now he expects his constituents to trust him?
By that same measure, Obama has lied to America about Obamacare from day one. And you're no better; parroting and championing the lies he, his administration, and his willing, collusive, media buttshites continue to spread.
To quote Al Franken, from where free-thinking people sit, it's all about the Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. Namely, you lying liars on the left. Every last damned one of you.
Pull your head out of your ass and learn to think!
It doesn't matter that Katyal or the administration didn't advocate the sarcastic advice he so glibly offered. What matters is the arrogance this administration displays, and the tacit permission given to those devoid of self-respect or desire for betterment.
That's right! The Obama administration wants Americans to 'tune out' of personal responsibility, personal growth, and self-sufficiency. He wants a nation of intellectual cowards like you.
"sarcastic advice he so glibly offered."
ReplyDeleteThat's my point, dope. He was NOT OFFERING ADVICE. He was comparing two hypotheticals to make a legal argument.
In NO WAY was this giving any permission for anything or tuning out of personal responsibility.
Klein is not a hack because I disagree with him. Klein is a hack because he is twisting the meaning of what the SG said to lie about PPACA and the administration's policy.
"you think only a hack would ever disagree with your god Obama."
No, I disagree with Obama on some things (and he's not my god). A hack lies to make up crap to score points with you.
Yeah, that's right, Jim, you hateful idiot.
ReplyDeleteAttack the messenger. That's the Alinsky rule, isn't it? You can't refute the message so you attack the messenger. Typical Liberal response.
Obama is a moron and so are you.
Back at ya, Markie. It's quite appropriate to attack the messenger when the message is a lie.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who thinks President Obama is a moron is a moron.
Anyone who thinks Obama is doing a good job as president is a moron.
