Two events that are related only in your own mind. The Stamp Act was passed with no American vote or voice and intended to fund unwelcome troops.
Health Care Reform, passed with all American’s voices and intended to fund desired and needed health care.
Yeah, identical acts with possibly similar outcomes /sarcasm/
Health Care Reform, passed with all American’s voices
Was this supposed to be some kind of sick joke? It was passed against the majority of Americans’ voices.
Chris Gerrib, always the Tory. If statist measures are passed in ways that Chris aprroves of, for causes he approves of, they’re not statist.
Or they are, but the GOOD kind of statism.
“Because not everyone who has the Stockholm Syndrome is Swedish. . . .”
It was passed by a majority of the elected representatives of the American people. Every American had a chance to discuss it. The individual parts of the bill polled well, and significant parts of the opposition, including from this blog, were based on mis-information.
FIFY
The individual parts of the bill polled well
Will you please stop polluting my web site with this imbecilic argument?
I could put up a bill that everyone gets a pony, no one has to ever work again, the weather will always be nice, we’ll have world peace, and in three years, everyone will be marched into a death camp. Most of that bill would “poll well.” But please, keep deluding yourselves. The devastation at the polls this fall will only be all the greater.
Health Care Reform, passed with all American’s voices and intended to fund desired and needed health care.
Back up off the crack pipe, son.
Well, I’ll surely be voting straight GOP in November. No LP, no Independents. Divided government and gridlock are the only safe places for us.
It was passed against the majority of Americans’ voices.
The latest Gallup poll is 45% for, 48% against, neither of which is a majority. The Real Clear Politics poll of polls has 50.5% against, the slimmest of majorities.
On the larger point, Chris is right. The people protesting the Stamp Act were protesting for the right to do what we did in November: vote for the people who will make the nation’s laws, including tax laws.
Try 59% against, Jimmy. Or is CNN an organ of the vast right wing conspiracy?
“On the larger point, Chris is right. The people protesting the Stamp Act were protesting for the right to do what we did in November: vote for the people who will make the nation’s laws, including tax laws.”
So the anti-statism in the American colonies was actually the equivalent of statism in the modern America? Even for Bizarro Planet that’s nuts.
pdb – from your CNN link – 13% oppose the bill because it’s not liberal enough. Maybe we should try again for the public option? 51% trust Obama more when it comes to health care, and 45% trust the Democrats (vs. 39% for the Republicans). It’s not a slam-dunk.
Bilwick1 – the American Revolution was not anti-statism. The people who drafted and supported the Constitution were okay with state power, as long as it was “legitimate” – AKA selected by the people.

And this counts as “all of America’s voices”?
You are an irredeemable dumbshit.
the American Revolution was not anti-statism.
Jesus Jumping Christ, have you even read the Federalist Papers?
cf, above. Dumbshit, you.
And this counts as “all of America’s voices”?
Chris didn’t write that everyone supported it, but that everyone had ample opportunity to make his or her voice heard.
Jesus Jumping Christ, have you even read the Federalist Papers?
Have you read anything else that Hamilton wrote? He favored a state bank, state investment in favored industries, a president-for-life who would appoint governors, a federal government with the power to veto state laws, etc. By today’s Fox News standards he was a communist/facist (or, as they’re called on a different Fox show, a “commie-nazi“).
The American Revolution was not a revolt against statism.
Actually, for many who so fought the war of ’76, it was.
To a great extent, the spirit of ’76 died in ’88. Of course, you woulnd’t get that sense from reading wanna-be statists.
My friend, Tony, who lived in Kazikstan for 3 or 4 years had an interesting riddle:
“What do you call people who earn good grades in medical school in Kazikstan?”
“Bankers.”
Apparently, it’s common for heads of banks to go to medical schools, ask about the best students, and offer them much better money than they can get working as doctors in Kazikstan’s medical system.
He told me this when I casually asked him if he or his family went skiing while he lived there. His response was that no, because if you broke a leg you had to be airlifted to a different country so you wouldn’t be attended to by the low-achieving medical personnel.
You may think it’s ridculous to compare our medical system to Kazikstan. But the simple truth is that because of the law of unintended consequences we have absolutely no certainty about what this recent health care bill will do to health care in our country. As a father I will not be very likely to urge my educationally high-achieving children to go into medicine since the federal government seems intent on taking over that portion of the economy. They can probably do a lot more good elsewhere.
Kazakhstan, sorry.
Have you read anything else that Hamilton wrote? He favored a state bank, state investment in favored industries, a president-for-life who would appoint governors, a federal government with the power to veto state laws, etc
And if you think you can draw a straight line from the strictly limited federalism Hamilton had in mind to a massive, multi trillion dollar, country bestriding bureaucracy that forces people to buy health insurance, then you have yet again demonstrated yourself to be a complete and utter dumbshit, totally impervious to reason, history, and logic.
Hence the Constitution, which had among its purposes preventing temporary legislative majorities from using state power to rob the people at large.
But that purpose of the Constitution apparently ceased to exist in 1933.
The people who drafted and supported the Constitution were okay with state power, as long as it was “legitimate” – AKA selected by the people.
What you are describing here with your unsupported assertion is a Democracy, a tyranny of the majority, something the founders were keen to avoid. Hence “…a republic if you can keep it.”
To correct your assertion – the founders were okay with state power, as long as it was “legitimate” – AKA secured the rights of individuals to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Not all the founders were of one mind of course, which is why evils like slavery were permitted for so long – clearly in contravention to the spirit of our founding documents.
13% oppose the bill because it’s not liberal enough.
And 43% oppose because the bill is “too liberal”.
In case you are incapable of basic math (like most liberals), that means there are three times as many people against it for being too liberal than being not liberal enough.
You were saying?
I love it when Statists throw out Hamilton an an example of a Statist founder… Even Hamilton wouldn’t have asserted that there is a power to provide health care – and even funnier that he would apporve of a redistribution of wealth for that purpose. He would have told you that you need an amendment for that.
I’m good friends with Primary Care doctor.
He’s a Democrat, he’s black, he did not vote for Obama, and he told me MONTHS ago, that if this thing passes, he’s going to quit his practice. He said he’d rather make WAY less money, but not have to deal with any more government ‘BS”. [his term, not mine]
I’m betting he won’t be alone in doing that.
He said he’s already dealt with government run health care. He grew up in Canada, but came here to school and to practice. He’s considering Belize or Costa Rica.
I’m wishing it gets killed yet in the Senate, but I’m not all that hopeful. If not, there are a bunch of states preparing to sue, that will slow it down. And, of course, SCOTUS, has an axe to grind with El Presidente.
Remember, rember
On the second of November
The obamacare treason and plot
I can think of no reason
The obamacare reason
Should ever be forgot.
“Was this supposed to be some kind of sick joke?”
It’s what passes for liberal/statist “thinking.” So, y’know, yes.
And maybe the sickest joke of all is seeing liberals trying to hijack various of the Founders to support a diseased, anti-liberty, contra-Constitutional line of thought clearly opposed to just about everything they said, wrote, or did. They make Orwellian Doublespeak look as mild, plainspoken, and honest as a Will Roger’s routine…or an Abraham Lincoln speech. Truth is now lies, lies truth — but ignorance remains bliss, apparently.
March 23 is the 235th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s speech in the Virginia House of Burgesses.
Just sayin’.
Well, I’ll surely be voting straight GOP in November. No LP, no Independents.
Forgotten Medicare part D already? The Department of Education?
That has never worked before, so what makes you think it’s going to work now?
Hey I thought that according to Liberals/Progressives that the founding fathers were all a bunch of racist white dudes. So now they are attempting to use a racist white guy like Hamilton to defend their unconstitutional, statist takeover of the healthcare industry.
The Stamp Act was passed without the approval of the majority of Americans.
The Health Care and Lobbyist Appreciation Act was passed without the approval of the majority of Americans.
The Stamp Act led to a Revolution.
the strictly limited federalism Hamilton had in mind
You think having the president appoint governors and veto state laws is “limited federalism”? Really?
He said he’s already dealt with government run health care. He grew up in Canada, but came here to school and to practice. He’s considering Belize or Costa Rica.
Um, does he know that Costa Rica has nationalized health care?
I’m wishing it gets killed yet in the Senate
Too late, the Senate passed it in December. It will be law once Obama signs it tomorrow.
Seerak,
Do you think Republicans started the Department of Education? Are you really that poorly informed?
As for Medicare Part D, I opposed it when it was passed too. It is an unaffordable program that WILL irreparably damage America’s budget. And this much larger piece of legislation will do even more damage.
Go join Gerrib on the dumbshit bench, jimmy.
Hamilton, heh. Statist, sure enough, you’ve got me there.
And to statists, ever thus. Remember how he ended up.
Try to learn from his example. Was Burr a Democrat, or not?
“It was passed by a majority of the elected representatives of the American people.”
Actually, the 60 vote squeak in the Senate was made possible only by the fact that we had 6 Senators who had never been elected by anybody (they were appointed, by Democrat Party members). Would that have been the case if all 100 had been elected? Evidently not, as Senator Brown’s election would indicate.
MfK, they last thing they’re worried about is winning ugly.
They’re on an exalted long march.
“51% trust Obama more when it comes to health care, and 45% trust the Democrats (vs. 39% for the Republicans). It’s not a slam-dunk.”
If only our elected representatives had had the courage to draft this bill and then delay the vote until _next_ November’s election.
It was passed by a majority of the elected representatives of the American people. Every American had a chance to discuss it. The individual parts of the bill polled well, and significant parts of the opposition, including from this blog, were based on mis-information.
Even if parts of it “polled well”, the whole remains an abuse of government power and a grave threat to the freedom of any US citizen. It should be unconstitutional IMHO.
I find myself wondering: Will the people who have pushed for/defended this the hardest be willing to stand up and admit their error if the worst predictions (or even a statistically significant portion of them) come to pass?
They aren’t risking anything now (aside from the ones that won’t get reelected). It’s all Other Peoples’ Money.
It is “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” not the guarantee of happiness. That guarantee is only possible in Utopia – and history shows that attempts at utopia are invariably bloodbaths and failures.
America doesn’t have much time to get out of the Utopia business before it follows Greece into bankruptcy. The median age of Baby Boomers is about 57, and the biggest Ponzi scheme in history will fold by the end of the decade. Exponentially-increasing debt will only accelerate the process.
A government takeover of the banks, auto industry, health insurance industry – all in fourteen months. Yep, that’s change, sure enough. Ten more months to go before newly-elected congressmen take their seats. Somehow I don’t think that Obama is going to stop here. There’s bigger fish to fry. There’s just enough time to ram through even bigger bills to force more Change into law, to expand the bureaucracy, to increase regulation and paperwork and fees until there are no greedy profit-seekers left – and nobody left to pay for it all.
Atlas Shrugged is pretty tedious reading, about a thousand pages. The Lord of the Rings is entertaining reading, also about a thousand pages. The Health care bill is the size of those two books put together, all in legalese. It is a virtual certainty that not one single person has read and fully understood the entire bill, while still accepting its harmony with the Constitution.
Voting for a bill that one hasn’t read and understood fully is grossly irresponsible. Each member of Congress is there as a representative of the people in their district – all of them, including the ones who voted against them. To vote for such a bill, no matter how well-intentioned or even if it is perfect, without reading the whole thing, is a disservice to all of their constituents.
To all of you who think that the Constitution and the process don’t matter as long as your desired outcome is achieved – if you undermine the basis of the very limited authority of the President, Congress, and the Supreme Court, then you’ve also undermined the basis of the outcome. The result can only be disaster.
Lest anyone think I’m engaging in hyperbole about no Congressmen having read the whole bill:
Exempted From Obamacare: Senior Staff Who Wrote the Bill
Hell, the Republicans were actively searching for bad things in the bill, and this didn’t come to light until after the bill was passed. What other Easter eggs are in there?
One thing I’m curious about…are there any elective procedures besides abortion that gets federal simoleans via ObamaCare?
So where are Canadians gonna go to get health care without the insanely long queues? Offshore clinics outside territorial waters?
G. Clark writes: “I find myself wondering: Will the people who have pushed for/defended this the hardest be willing to stand up and admit their error if the worst predictions (or even a statistically significant portion of them) come to pass?”
Probably not. The Bizarro Planet gang that posts here are obviously in their own alternate reality, where real-world economics and logic don’t apply, so they’ll never admit it. Obama has been inculcated since his Red Diaper Baby days with the dogma “there’s no truth but socialist truth.” If ObamaCare is responsible for sending the US into the toilet he’ll only high-five with his fellow leftists on a job well done, then find some “Emmanuel Goldenberg” to pin the bad stuff on. Maybe a few Congressmen, seeing their constituents preparing the tar and feathers, might say “I goofed,” but as long as the MSM is an organ of The Hive, the party line will always be a Chip Diller-like “Do not panic! ObamaCare is working fine! Dear Leader loves you! Don’t listen to his racist oppsition!”
“Hey I thought that according to Liberals/Progressives that the founding fathers were all a bunch of racist white dudes. So now they are attempting to use a racist white guy like Hamilton to defend their unconstitutional, statist takeover of the healthcare industry.”
Thats reaction when State-shtuppers like Chris start spinning the anti-statist American Revolultion into some kind of proto-Obama call for bigger government. Obviously these guys have never read Bernard Bailyn’s IDEOLOGICAL ORIGINS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, let alone primary sources such as “Cato’s Letters,” the broadsides of the Radical Whigs, or Paine’s COMMON SENSE. The anti-Royalist Protestant ministers who fomented “treason” by teaching “Rebellion against Tyrants is Obedience to God,” would have told Obama where to go.
But then look not for either historical grounding or consistent logic from this crew. To them, there is no truth but that which advances the State.
Jim,
he does know that. But they don’t have government RUN services, they have government paid for services for those who can’t afford it. There is a tax collected from everyone who lives down there to support it. It’s a set rate, not a sliding scale aimed at the rich or middle class. And the government doesn’t FORCE anyone into their system who doesn’t want it.
There’s a huge difference there that will be lost on you, I’m sure.
And if I have to believe his opinion over yours about a country he’s willing to move to, where he thinks he’ll do more good, guess which way I’ll jump? He’s thought this out, whereas, you’re just a psychophant. Yeah, I spelled it right for the meaning I was going for.
