No, Mr Boehner: The Constitution Is The LAW of The Land

Nice to hear the occasional echo out there.

No, Mr Boehner: The Constitution Is The LAW of The Land
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  November 9th, 2012 at 07:58 AM  

Yesterday, Diane Sawyer asked John Boehner in an interview if he planned to push for repeal of Obamacare.  He responded that “the election changes that” and “Obamacare is the law of the land.”

No, Mr. Boehner, the Constitution is the law of the Republic.

In April 2011, following the failure of Republicans to defund Obamacare during the first budget battle, I wrote the following at Red State:

If it is reckless to shut down the government over Obamacare, then there is nothing in the budget worth fighting for.  Due to the degree of entrenchment of the existing entitlement, even Paul Ryan’s plan will not balance the budget for another 26 years.  If Obamacare is not defunded within the next year, it will be virtually impossible to completely repeal and will make a balanced budget an impossibility.

Well, they said all along that we’d wait until 2012. They were sure we’d win the election.  Ironically, by running away from the Obamacare issue, they ensured that we would not win the election.  Now that they lost, they say tough luck on Obamacare.

Yes, I know what you’re thinking: “if we create gridlock over Obamacare, we will…..”  We will what?  We will risk political reprisal?  Then what are we fighting for in the first place?  If we are unwilling to fight the implementation of a 4^th entitlement program, how will we ever have the moxie to fix the existing ones?

Obamacare, when fully enacted, will take over 1/6 of our economy, create permanent dependency for tens of millions of Americans, induce unsustainable inflationary pressure on the cost of healthcare and health insurance, and saddle the next generation with crippling debt.  Every intervention, program, and mandate prescribed under the 2010 healthcare law, if left intact, will limit freedom, increase insurance premiums, create more dependency, and lead to rationed care.

For all the talk about the need to adjust our views to confront inexorable demographic challenges, they have no understanding of the permanent electoral juggernaut that will be created by dependency on Obamacare.  Aside for the policy disasters that will arise from the beast of Obamacare, the permanent implementation of Obamacare will create enough new dependency across all demographics that we will never be able to win an election anyway.

This is it, folks.  If we are unwilling to engage in a fight to the death of Obamacare, there is nothing worth fighting for.  And frankly, there will be nothing to fight for.

Thank You Redstate and Mr Horowitz

And we're all wondering How Team Obama pulled off Nov 6th. Well, with Boehner capitulating at the drop of being maligned as a right wing, "Extremist" by media sycophants of the darling of the Actual Communist Party USA, and the Young Communist League, . . . .

Jesus, Boehner, if you can't do the job you were hired by your voters to do, resign.

ObamaCare Must Be Repealed.
