Political speech often hurts because it is intended to act as a catalyst for political action. It is perfectly acceptable to tell those who are injured by federal action that they have been injured in order to help another group. Politics is rough edged.

You're not talking about the greedy individuals who are too cheap to buy health insurance and instead sponge off everyone else?

You don't get to flip the script.
The greedy are those who want everybody to pay for them to receive.

The ones you are talking about, are just fine supporting themselves.
 
Re: SCOTUS LIVEBLOG - Obamacare Mandate Survives [W:125]

yes White America is now in shackles and the minorities rule the Republic! Chief justice Roberts is a Caucasoid Quisling!

I would have said white seniors are already covered 7 ways come Tuesday, I remember a distraught white senior demanding the government get out of her life, but they had better not touch her social security or medicare! :shock:

I would think a better trolling rant, and I do believe Albert is just as guilty of baiting/trolling/inflaming as anyone else is of violating TOS, is it is a bad day for white young America. No matter what the white seniors have political clout.

AARP is the new Overlord......

Bringing in the working poor ... treating them equally. Yeah, it's a bad idea.

So these "whites" with their insurance are being ruined? I doubt it. These whites should be treated better but it's not about being treated equally? Really?

Everyone is concerned about the impact of Obamacare on his or her own health care. People who have good health care will now have health care which isn't so good on a quality basis. They will resent that. They can be organized politically on the basis of that resentment.

People aren't being treated equally. Obamacare reduces the quality of care for most people who have good insurance coverage. Most of those people are white. Obamacare brings in millions of the working poor into Medicaid. Most of the working poor aren't white. White numbers are rapidly diminishing in America. Whites are an older and wealthier group than are non-whites.

Re: Entire Healthcare Law Upheld

Moderator's Warning:
This issue is contentious and a hot button one. There's already been thread bans given out and there will be more so as to make sure this thing doesn't turn into a flamefest or a giant derail. I suggest everyone stick to the topic of the health care law and the ramifications of this decision. I suggest that if you dislike someones arguments or statements that you debate the issue and their arguments, not them personally. If you want to veer off into one liner baits and flames then expect a qiuck exit from the thread

I wish, but I think it was more a vote for the authority of the fed govt.

The Constitution once said that African Americans were only worht 3/5th of a white person.

The fact of the matter is that declining quality in healthcare can be used to rouse and motivate people politically. Al Sharpton tells us that it's ok to divide people and whip up their emotions. This is the way the American political culture works now.

Re: SCOTUS LIVEBLOG - Obamacare Mandate Survives [W:125]

I have to say, I was surprise Justice Roberts sided with keeping it constitutional, I thought it would have been Kennedy, however reading what he said about the bill I understand, and while I do not completely agree with the outcome per say, I agree that it was the right thing for the Courts to do.

Racists in the early 20th century used to have these studies measuring the size of Jewish and black skulls. I would be willing to bet that type of crap-science still gets past around in far-right circles.

The poster to whom I was responding, seemed to, IMO, be dancing around the old racist ideas about blacks being genetically less equal. I believe that as we get closer to November people will start to show their true colors.

Seems more like a vote for the insurance companies. They are going to make out like bandits on this. Was it the commerce clause that Roberts expounded?

Does anybody have a link to the actual SCOTUS decision (and not something from a news network)?

Too bad I was asleep to miss the hilarious gaffe about the coverage. I wanna see a pic of Obama holding a tablet with the "mandate struck down" headline ala Dewey Defeats Truman. :lol:

Most white seniors are frightened people on fixed incomes who can be motivated politically by this decision.
