But hey, it’s the law of the land and the GOP can’t do anything about it. Other than continue to fund raise against it, then — once back in power — promise to manage it better than the Democrats.
Oh. And they can also exempt themselves from it’s reach. But then, pointing that out is just petty. Because, like, brain drain. And probably racism, somehow.
Many of the features (or do you call them “bugs”) of Obama’s take over of our health care system are supposed to be going into effect this year. But deadlines for important features such as the employer mandate, taxpayer protection features that are supposed to stop fraud and identify theft and other aspects of the so-called “Affordable” Care Act have been passed by without implementation despite that they are absolutely mandated by the law.
All this was released in a new report by the Congressional Research Service, a non-partisan office of Congress. The report found that of the 82 deadlines, about half have already been missed.
Laws that are selectively enforced and whimsically and capriciously applied aren’t laws. They are the tools of tyrants, and the fact that they can masquerade as laws is our own fault, because we’ve allowed the language to become so corrupted, and abuses so widespread and accepted, that the very foundationalism upon which a stable rule of law was proposed and built has been tacitly, over time, abandoned.
We don’t live in a constitutional republic. And if ObamaCare, as the law of the land, can be rewritten and reworked on the fly, then really, no laws are sacrosanct, nor should they be.
And to be honest? I’d take anarchy over tyranny any day. Because at least with anarchy you know where you stand going in.
I say we get ahead of this and ignore the whole thing.
No! You people need to hustle with those implementation deadlines! Hurry!
Ignorance of the law that we have not yet decided how to employ is no excuse.
Obama Makes HALF Of Obamacare’s Implementation Deadlines!!!
Sorry. I’m studying to be a journalist.
Lol Slart.

Can we safely assume that your chances of getting a waiver from IRS are directly proportional to your chances of getting them to recognize your 501c?
And anarchy beats tyranny any day, because at least you’ll have a fair fight.
Because, like, brain drain.
Sure, because it’s common knowledge that the private sector is just clamoring to put political hacks (aka “staffers”) on their payroll, because Profit!
“Have you ever been in the private sector? They expect results.”
Drumwaster: Bingo!
We’ve been domesticated.
Don’t make a fuss or they’ll take you to the pound.
Allen West: Obama “a very dangerous threat to the existence of America as a constitutional republic”
– Back when we were told that the next POTUS was destined to be a third tier community organizer and part time bag man, who could have possibly anticipated this. (Allen Wests astute observation not withstanding.)
– The beloved dear leaders global fame continues to grow and spread.

Or you’re a “glass half-full” sort of person. ;-D
A glass half-full of strychnine.
Where’s your optimism now?
– You won’t need a glass half-full of strychnine, or any other device for the purpose. Like everything else in your life from cradle to grave the beneficent StateNanny™ will be ever present to aid you in assisted death, and panels to hurry you along.

OT Ruling class update:
Paul Ryan receiving support from Obama’s OFA on immigration deal.
If I understood Beck correctly yesterday, his company tried to get an Obamacare waiver and was denied.
I suspect Beck’s companies asked for the waiver to illustrate a point rather than with any expectation of getting a waiver.
