in the health **** reform bill. Can someone please explain to me how, without constitutional authority, the feds are going to create a giant and probably unread POS bill that includes an "opt-out" provision in it that actually allows states to remove themselves from it?
If they actually DO that (HAHAHA, right) wouldn't the better thing to do be to simply leave the entire thing up to the STATES in the first place? Yes, that kind of thinking requires heavy administration of the anti-kool-aids known as constitutional limits, common sense, and reality. I mean, isn't that why we even bother with the concept of states in the first place? If they're going to go down this road lets just get rid of the 57 state .govs and just all get cozy under the dictator in chief. Think how much we'd save on fabric replacing all those stars on the flag with (the) one....
Yeah yeah, I know this is all about control, power, and all the others, but have we really come down to such an idiotic point that people might accept an unconstitutional bill that "lets" states "opt-out" of it instead of the states simply having the balls to stand up to the feds and say you DO NOT have this authority. This flies in the face of Obombers "I'm the new Lincoln" hype a while back. Lincoln waged a war on Americans (that Obama hasn't managed to do yet, at least overtly) because the states wanted to bail from the overreaching feds, which this opt-out crap is supposedly going to permit.
It's all just more of the war on words and the perversion of language to achieve the power grab.
