		<description>I have no children to care for. Let them commit to tyranny in its most extreme forms, imprison me for refusing to contribute.  For every man who goes to jail a thousand will be stiffened in their legal opposition, we saw that with the counterculture and the draft and Jim Crow.</description>

Its very simple it really is
Democrats dont care about the fact that

1. obama care - is a communist takeover of our healthcare system
2. obama care - will destroy the economy (you cannot take 2 trillion dollars and just add it to the deficit) and not wipe out your credit

3. obama care - even the democrats admit wont cover even 10% of americans (30 million) - nope that was never the plan

4. obama care - hell doctors will be jumping overboard - why would i work when some government beurocrat will now decide
How much i get paid
How much i save determins my bonus for next year
How many times i was sued. - this will also effect my bonus.

I talked to doctors - i was in the hospital a few weeks ago - and i talked to the er doctor - and he flat out said 
as soon as they cut his pay - or force him to make stupid decisions - he would be forced to find another profession

Like medical research.. 
Same thing with nurses - you think its bad now ..?

Just you wait - give obama care 1 year - and it will destroy the healthcare system..

This is exactly why the democraps - and their nazi leaders
pelosi and obama - all have decided not to allow full
implimentation of this piece of NAZI shit legislation
Until after AFTER the elections...

This way it will be too late..
They will give free medical cards to EVERY illegal mexican
and other than Mexican illegal..

Then they will register them to vote

And after they have BOUGHT their victory by
VIOPLATING the US constitution..

then they will kick ALL the american people in their wallets..

Enjoy your new NAZI CARE..

		<description>I am in Rep. Kratovil&#039;s district and although he voted against HR 3962, he refused to acknowledge that the mandates are unconstitutional and his overall record is liberal, so he won nothing with me.   

As to your comment, &quot;Alert readers will remember that he was the congressman hung in effigy during the height of the August town hall meeting uproar&quot;, it was alleged that he was hung in effigy in Centreville and Salisbury, MD depending upon the outlet or blog read.  I can say for a fact he was not hung in effigy in Centreville since I was there the whole day and no TEA Party was held in Salisbury that day.  Now a friend had him on puppet strings controlled by Pelosi at Centerville, as well as in Bel Air, MD at a later TEA Party, and they may have misread that parody.</description>

		<description>We&#039;re going to be getting jailed for a lot more things the Socialists consider to be actions/inactions not conducive to the welfare of the, er, Welfare State!

We&#039;ll mostly lie down and comply just like our ancestors did with that abominable POS called the &quot;income tax&quot;.  Now, get drafted to fight Communists?  That&#039;s something at least some people will stand up against.</description>

I don&#039;t give a damn if it&#039;s just a tax.  I pay enought taxes.  I&#039;m not going to put up with them taxing me because I don&#039;t buy health insurance and then if I don&#039;t pay that tax they have the option to jail me.  It&#039;s the entire concept you idiot.</description>

Hey Nancy, Come and get me, I’m not buying S#it from you. &lt;strong&gt;Might as well get me now cause I’m not answering any census questions other than number of people living in my home too.

Bingo.

And wouldn&#039;t it be &lt;em&gt;wonderful&lt;/em&gt; if we were in the same cell block as that idiot Peggy Joseph?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Let me make an analogous argument: YOU CAN BE JAILED FOR BUYING A HOUSE!!! If you buy a house, they will charge you property tax, and if you don’t pay the property tax, they will fine you and put you IN JAIL!

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The JCT letter  makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Do prisoners get free health care in jail? Maybe that&#039;s the catch! 

Note to CBO chief Elmendorf: Better add in the cost of new jails for all those uninsured healthy felons.</description>

		<description>If anyone thinks they are going to take me jail because I don&#039;t buy health insurance they are going to find lead flying at them.  I just called congresswoman Betsy Markey&#039;s office and made that clear.  I also asked if the congress woman had made a decision yet as to how she is going to vote.  She hasn&#039;t made up her mind yet.</description>

Right, which is exactly what I said. If you want to complain about a tax for not buying insurance, then keep your complaints to that. The jail thing is a red herring. You go to jail any time you don&#039;t pay taxes. 

Also, what would you say if Congress raised income taxes, then created a tax CREDIT or DEDUCTION for buying insurance? They could make it work out to be exactly the same -- you&#039;d pay X more dollars for not buying insurance. Then if someone fraudulently claimed the tax credit or deduction even though they didn&#039;t buy the insurance, they would be fined or go to jail. It doesn&#039;t sound as ridiculous that way, but it&#039;s the same thing.

The problem with these arguments is that it&#039;s just a tax. So the arguments against it should treat it as a tax. Not government FORCING you to do anything, just the government taxing you. I&#039;m not saying you shouldn&#039;t vehemently oppose the tax, just that you shouldn&#039;t pretend that jail has anything to do with this.</description>

		<description>I urge all Americans who disagree with this unconstitutional mandate to simply refuse to comply. They don&#039;t have enough federal prisons to hold everyone.

Can armed resistence really be that far behind?</description>

HI AGAIN FLYFISHER--Mine is a WW1 era Canadian Mountie type Colt that was converted from .455 Eley to Long Colt.  I bought it 50 years ago when I was a university student.  Two football players told me they were going to get me later after I had a run-in with them in a public place.  One of them had left a high school student I knew a &quot;vegetable&quot; in a wheelchair a few years earlier after beating him severely.  Nothing ever happened to the punk.  Forty dollars bought a lot of &quot;insurance&quot; for me--I worked 20 miles away alone at a powerhouse at night to pay for school.
***
Never had to use the gun--a few years later the two punks rolled over their car at high speed on a drunken trip somewhere and died.  Shoots well--but a little &quot;clunky&quot; to hold on to  and more recoil than the .45 auto.
***
As far as using handguns--even the .44 magnum on Kodiac bears--the gun is to shoot yourself rather than getting eaten alive when the bear gets you!  Even a 30-06 rifle is &quot;poor bear medicine&quot;--think Weatherby magnums instead.
***
I worked with a guy who had lived in Alaska and told a story about a &quot;hunter&quot; who tried to kill a big bear with a .44 magnum.  He hit it with all 6 shots over the heart area--the bear kept coming.  The guide killed the bear with a big rifle.  The .44 hollow point slugs did not penetrate to the heart--the rifle did the job.
***
Remember--when you step out in Alaska you have moved down the food chain a few notches!  Bring the rifle!

That&#039;s the way it&#039;ll be for me. I will not pay. How many of us can they put in jail? Hell, in CA they are releasing serial rapists because of overcrowding. I think resisting the plan will bring down the whole cursed federal government.
