The Healthcare Bill Would Be Obama’s ‘Enabling Act’
by Michael ZakWhy are Barack Obama and other Democrat leaders so intent on passing a government takeover of healthcare now…Now…NOW?

They must know that costs will rise and the quality of care will fall, right? They must know that Obamacare would destroy the economy, right? Of course they do. But, they also know that the federal government would tighten its grip on the nation. They know that Obama’s czars and other appointees would be authorized to bypass Congress in enacting sweeping regulations on nearly every aspect of a person’s life. And, they know that these new powers of the federal government would be concentrated in the hands of the Democratic Party and the President.
Here’s what else they know. History affords many examples of regimes whose motto was “Never let a crisis go to waste.” In 1933, having campaigned for “hope” and “change,” the National Socialist Worker’s Party forced through the German parliament a Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Nation, also known as the Enabling Act.
This new law enabled the German chancellor and his appointees to bypass parliament in imposing sweeping regulations on the people:
“In addition to the procedure prescribed by the constitution, laws of the Reich may also be enacted by the government of the Reich [i.e., the Cabinet].”
The constitution of the Weimar Republic became so irrelevant that the new regime never saw a need to actually repeal it.
By this vote, the National Socialist Workers Party assumed absolute power and the Chancellor made history.

Bingo! We have a winner. There is no other explanation for this act of political suicide, BUT Americans aren't the beaten down German people following WWI. There will be hell to pay.
and whatever BS Obama comes up with will be seconded by the injustice dept
"Why are Barack Obama and other Democrat leaders so intent on passing a government takeover"
How can you possibly justify calling it a "government takeover"? It's nonsense and you know it.
And anyone who believes you is stupid.
I am very much going to enjoy seeing it passed. And don't know if you've heard but there gonna attach the bill to overhaul of federal student loan programs further helping the middle class.
And pass it's gonna. And you know it.
Obama is in for a big surprise if this goes through!! I don't think there are enough jails to put everyone in, that will refuse to buy this crap!!! I hope that more people will find jobs that pay under the table so that their 'health care tax' will be next to nothing!!! If he is looking for a civil war …I'm afraid he better be ready…We do have the Oath Keepers on our side!
No scheme is too extreme for Obama and the progressives. We are in serious trouble.
I hope to God when we have a Conservative president, he/she will put him on trial for treason. This is outragious.
This would explain why this health care bill needs to be passed now when the benifits dont take effect till 4 years later.
"…………and the Chancellor made history."
Obama:….. "wait till they get a load of me"
Every single action by Obama is to increase governmental power and dependency of citizens on it.
The leeches of society are going to party in the streets!
The problem will be later down the road when the socialists run out of other people's money. have you been watching Greece?
It's coming here folks when the government runs out of OUR, THE PRODUCER'S MONEY,
Then whatever will they do???
You get what you vote for!!!
You are the one that is stupider than Jupiter.
.
Maoist Troll.
Earth calling Democrats! Planet Earth calling Democrats! Do you hear me, Democrats? The American People want health care reform, they just don't want YOUR health care reform! It's not a partisan issue. If it was the GOP trying to ram this down our throats, we'd be just as mad! Listen to the polls! WE DON'T WANT THIS !!! http://patrioticmobster.wordpress.com/2010/03/13/...
Whatever version of health care that may pass will be subject to the intense and sociaIist interpretation of the 4th Reich.
Cass Sunstein is licking his chops to get hold of this one. It is a sociaIist wet dream.
Even if you want to see Health Care Reform passed, do you really think they way they are going about it is good for our country?
You Tube- A Natural Born Demagogue Barack Hussein Obama I just finished this video and as usual its both serious and not.
Obama has been called lots of names: marxist, radical, Manchurian Candidate among others but I think the best description is demagogue. It doesn't usually end well for demagogues historically.
If he wants to "reform" the health care system he should ask the Republicans for help with it instead of asking them to act as cheering section for what the American people DO NOT WANT!!!
AFTER the November elections. We don't want the fool on the hill declaring martial law. There has to be a methodology to this excercise or else we are screwed.
Dependents of government are permanent Democratic voters. Power is the game, Obamacare is the move.
Better put on your 3D glasses so you can see the picture as it plays out in real life. THEN come back and call us names. Maybe by that time you'll be able to say "mea culpa".
Ellie
The WHOLE agenda since the election has been a socialist wet dream. KEYWORD: dream. WE the PEOPLE will not let that become a reality. The progressives have been drinking kool-aid spiked with viagra.
Not a chance retard!
Don't try to reason with Anon he went to see Alice in Wonderland last night and it's still messing with his head.
You are a Fascist scumbag, bitch. +Hanzo+
Who says Progressives aren't Fascists? +Hanzo+
"bill to overhaul of federal student loan programs"
so, the bill is so good, it now requires an attempt to bribe the American people as well by nationalizing yet another industry?
NSDAP Political Platform, item #20 "We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession"
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/25points.html
or perhaps the Soviet Constitution Article 42. Citizens of the USSR have the right to health protection. OR
Article 45. Citizens of the USSR have the right to education: "… by the provision of state scholarships and grants and privileges for students" http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/russian/const...
you keep good company there
Yes. It's important legislation and the GOP saying no every step of the way leaves few choices.
And when people figure out the good it does Obama's popularity will skyrocket.
Seriously dude, are you high again…
"If" they use the "slaughter solution" aka "the final solution" the supremes with overturn ALL OF IT!
Its completely and utterly unconstitutional and you know it…
I had hoped common sense would prevail but 'anon the anus' is probably right. If it does pass, we'll deal with it, and they, later.
How is FORCING somebody to purchase a "commodity" as a condition of their constitutionals rights good for anyone?
Can you explain that one to me there little boy?
I can see from your spelling and grammar that this might be above your reading comprehension, but, if you would get out of the echo chamber in which you delve, and read some political analyst's findings, you would know that this bill is designed, and constructed to lead to single payer for all. Comprehension means you *get it*, in case you're from Rio Linda.
You know Michael quite a few of us who do understand the the history of the Weimar Republic have been very worried about this President and his policies for quite some time…
Here is a list of His executive orders to date…
http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/executiv...
There is some stuff in there that will make your head explode, starting with the very first one…
"trying to influence the ignorant into voting against their own best interest"
as spoken by a true elitist.
Do you even listen to yourself? YOU, know what's in someones "best interest", and anyone who disagrees is "ignorant"
And THAT is exactly why people like you become DANGEROUS once they gain power over others.
" In 1933, having campaigned for “hope” and “change,” the National Socialist Worker’s Party forced through the German parliament a Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Nation, also known as the Enabling Act."
I reckon we'll all just have to practice succumbing to submission and get used to being shackled. Learn how to take the good with the bad, and look on the bright side. Think positively. Like they did in Germany before they burned the Reichstag.
Hell, even Hitler built good roads, and the folks were happy. For a while………
Asking republicans to contribute to this bill is like asking a mugging victim to give their pin and directions to the closest atm. The problem is that the Rep. suggestions are incremental and easier to correct when Murphy's Law is realized.
WHY DO MY COMMENTS KEEP GETTING "DELETED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR?"
SOMEBODY THAT GIVES A SHIT OUGHT TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, BEFORE PEOPLE START LEAVING IN DROVES.
For what its worth, before Hitler was made Chancellor – the previous Weimar govenments had been ruling by Presidential decrees, not laws passed in the Reichstag. To quote from Wikepedia: "The last four cabinets of the republic (Brüning I and II, Papen, Schleicher) are even called "presidential" cabinets (Präsidialkabinette) because the presidential decrees more and more replaced the Reichstag legislature." So, Hitler had precedent on his side. Obama, not so.
hahahahahaha
And some wonder Why there's a 2nd amendment.
" In 1933, having campaigned for “hope” and “change,” the National Socialist Worker’s Party forced through the German parliament a Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Nation, also known as the Enabling Act."
Even Hitler built good roads, and the people loved it. For a while……….
Hitler.
Laughter is definitely good medicine!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
They have had a plan on the table for at least six months now and every single time it has come to the floor Nancy "the doll face" Pelosi has used her Speaker's privilege to table the motion for a roll call vote…
Transparency?
NOT!
Hey anus…you are no one to be calling anybody a liar, all you do on this site is lie, you little troll.
What an idiot…
lol
NSDAP Political Platform, item #20 "We demand the education at the expense of the State of outstanding intellectually gifted children of poor parents without consideration of position or profession" OR
item #21. The State is to care for the elevating national health…. which lead to "rationing boards
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/25points.html
or perhaps the Soviet Constitution Article 42. Citizens of the USSR have the right to health protection. OR
Article 45. Citizens of the USSR have the right to education: "… by the provision of state scholarships and grants and privileges for students" http://www.departments.bucknell.edu/russian/const...
Many Americans who lived in Germany during Hitler's time have been warning us that the same thing has happened here. Too may of us are content with drinking beer and watching football on tv and are ignoring these warnings.
The ermachtegung gesetz (enabling act), which means "authorization law", was enacted by invoking an article in the weimar constitution that provided for "emergency powers" in the event that the constitution and rule of law was threatened.
Invoking "emergency" police powers suspends the constitution and establishes martial law. "Emergency" invokes the "law of necessity" which knows no law. One may do anything necessary in order to "survive".
Hitler declared a "state of emergency" in order to by-pass the weimar constitution which remained intact. When he found it necessary, he re-declared the state of emergency to set himself up as a military commander in cheif over the nation.
We are in "state of emergency" in this country too. Look it up and weep.

"this bill is designed, and constructed to lead to single payer for all"
Thanks doubly good news. It's something we should have done long ago. Like the rest of the modern world.
So maybe now everyone will see why that birth certificate is so important.
Chickenshit hides again! Bet you can't wait for your "free" medical marijuana…
Progressives do! Didn't you go to public school? If you had you would certainly know that Conservatives, or any other freedom loving person is a Fascist. It's just a fact!
What specifically is good about this bill, as yet not fully written? Please list something good, as I am strongly for health care reform. I am not for this bill, loaded with "other" stuff, and limited choices, and pay now, maybe benefit in several years.
Would you pay several years for a house or car unseen, not to be used or evaluated or moved into or driven for many years?
Reform, yes. Reasonable reform — not total redo and payoofs
I'm getting tired of this crap. Alot of my comments don't get posted, as well as other peoples, yet their are abject idiots like "anon" posting copious amounts of BS.
I just posted the same mthing here four times and it got deleted. It really torques my off. Some of my best work, vanished. I could have maybe even won a Nobel Prize like Barry the Brazen…..
"I guess you like subsidizing these losers with your hard earned dollars."
ARE YOU FOR REAL?? This bill will GUARANTEE that you subsidize those 'losers' and not just American 'losers' pal. You'll subsidize European 'losers' too. Do you really KNOW what this bill means for you? I don't think so.
You like "conditional liberty"?
The solution is called free markets created by free people not draconian laws imposed by a fascist messianic dictator!
" In 1933, having campaigned for “hope” and “change,” the National Socialist Worker’s Party forced through the German parliament a Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Nation, also known as the Enabling Act."
Herr Adolph built good roads too, and the folks were right happy, at the beginning.
I believe this regime tried the 'declaring a state of emergency' just last year with the Swine Flu break out, declaring it a national emergency then trying to step in and get immunizations to everyone (which they failed at). What I can't figure out is how this nation refuses to act. We have the people opposing this HC take over but that doesn't seem to be enough it almost seems as if we need to converge on Washington and show them we object. Do we all get in our cars and drive there? This bill will pass, we will be looking down the barrel of National Health Care and we are screwed. Anyone read the story of Obumble seizing 13 million acres of land for 'monuments'? I believe there was a leader in the past that also was seizing land and it didn't turn out well for anyone.
you are either a nutroot or a moron, go on back to the koskids and wallow with the others.
Ha ha, I know what you're saying.Some of my best work has also vanished into "Moderator's Hell".
Perhaps they're keeping a selection of our best works to make a book someday? ;^)
+Hanzo+
Single payer = government takeover. Do I need to get the crayons to spell it out for you?
Anyone for impeachment? Why wait until November 2010 or 2012??
"federal student loan programs further helping the middle class."
The very fact that you could possibly believe that proves what a clueless idiot you are.
A book?
They probably will be used as " Exhibit #1" by the Special Prosecutor.
Hanzo, I can't get something past the moderators…………But, the kids told me a story about my old neighbor returning from work tuesday night, to find an intruder in his home. He didn't know what to do, so he grabbed an "ornamental sword" from his living room wall. It doesn't go well for the intruder, and my old neighbor is fortunte to be alive. google "stabbing victim had broken into home" and read the story.
"In 1933, having campaigned for “hope” and “change,” the National Socialist Worker’s Party forced through the German parliament a Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Nation, also known as the Enabling Act."
Look on the bright side. They built good roads, and crematoriums

Our time will come.
I guess this means I live in “interesting times.”
Like I said…WE have the Oath Keepers! They have sworn NOT to obey any order of martial law!!
I think they have medication for that!!

"I like forcing every one to buy insurance. I'd tired of paying for the scum sucking losers that don't insure themselves. I guess you like subsidizing these losers with your hard earned dollars. I don't."
Apparently you haven't seen Obamacare's price tag for your wallet. I'll be going from $186.00 a month for an insurance plan I love (an HSA which will be outlawed) to $760.00 a month.
Maybe I'll just become one of those people who pays the tax penalty and hopes for the best.
Great government we have here. Yessirreee…
ha ha, that is THE funniest thing I've read in a long time! get a clue anon, please!!!
Why are Barack Obama and other Democrat leaders so intent on passing a government takeover of healthcare now…Now…NOW?__BECAUSE ANDY STERN IS GOING TO BREAK HIS LEGS IF HE DOESNT
me too, copy then post…atleast you have it saved. I park stuff in my e-mail drafts section.
That sucks and you're right, but until it's fixed… This morning I lost some stuff – it pisses me off.
I'll check it out, Chopper, thanks. I always have a few "ornamental" swords hangin' aroung myself, obviously. Along with a .45. ;^) +Hanzo+
I don't if any of you guys have asked about this,Ii just did, pisses me off…
Now there's a thought, Cowbot.Oh well, guess we'll have to wear that as a badge of honor! +Hanzo+
Liberal GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
That's what this is about. A natuarlly and normally minority Republican Party (because more people prefer to RIDE in the wagon than to PULL the wagon -Reagan) would be ELIMINATED – Euro-style.
This garbage "Obamacare" must be stopped. We cannot depend on DE-FUNDING this latter. It MUST DIE NOW!
Is Michael Zak out of his *&^^$^#@ mind????
surround the Dictators Castle with a moat of People cutting of his lifeline. Show him – We are the People for Which it Stands – and he can leave his Castle with the same celebration upon which he arrived. Changes need to be made but not His way. He does not speak for us if he does not listen to us.
The way to solve any problem is to start with the basics. The problem: 1) 30 million without health insurance, and 2) cost.
The begining solution is to enable insurance companies to sell across state lines. Some states now require insurance companies to cover idiotic things like toupees, and seniors to be covered for pregnancy. If people can choose their coverage from a host of companies, costs will come way down.
Then, tort reform is necessary. The number of lawyers on the tv telling people that somewhere, somehow they have been damaged and they should immediately call 1-800 s-h-y-s-t-e-r is legion.
Also in the mix should be medical saving account. That's an idea whose time has come. Now add catatrophic coverage for major problems and about half of the uninsured will be able to buy coverage. For the remaining ten to fifteen million uncoverable people, congress ahould, if closely watched, be able to cover without screwing up the other 90% of America. At least too badly.
You kMr. Zak, so of us are very familiar with the history are quite worried about the present situation. Here is a link to the Executive Orders signed by this president. Please pay particular attention to the first one he signednow Michael quite a few of us who do understand the the history of the Weimar Republic have been very worried about this President and his policies for quite some time…
Anon,
Exactly how is it in our best interest? Because we need to be protected from the big bad insurance companies? Because it will make our economic future better?
I can give you countless failed Government interventions and entitlements. Why exactly is this one going to be different? Is it because it is the will of your lord and savior Obamao?
Dept. Of Education, despite billions we are still told we need to spend more to compete.
Dept of Homeland Security, despite billions spent, we arent any safer than we were on Sept 10th 2001.
Dept of Housing and Urban Development, despite billions spent, many are still facing forclosure,
Amtrak, despite billions spent, the train still needs money to operate
Postal Service, despite years of government subsidies, the postal service is broke and cutting mail to 5 days a week.
It would be a pile up – stern, susstein, soros – ewww
continued:
ICE/Immigration, depite billions spent, we have more illegal aliens than ever, running, jumping and swimming.
ATF despite bilions spent, stolen hand guns still find a way into the hands of criminals.
Social Security despite billions borrowed from, and billions stolen from tax payers, social security is on the verge of being broke.
Medicare despite billions spent, medicare goes to the healthcare of illegal aliens, and fraudsters, while denying benefits to those that need it.
IRS, a tax code so complicated and convoluted, you need an army of lawyers and accountants to sort through it.
EPA despite billions pumped into it, we still have global cooling, and a hostile regulatory arm that crushes energy producers as well as companies that produce jobs.
So by my account, I think another government boondoggle is just what we need. I am sure you agree
The government cannot keep you safe
The government cannot keep you healthy
The government cannot make you wealthy
The government is the problem, not the answer.
Given that the federal Constitution is silent about public healthcare, the 10th Amendment automatically reserves government power to regulate healthcare to the states, not the Oval Office and Congress. So Obama, Reid and Pelosi are criminally ignoring the following.
Article V requires Reid and Pelosi to rally Congress to propose an appropriate healthcare amendment to the states for ratification. And should the states choose to ratify such an amendment, then Congress would have the power to regulate healthcare.
On the other hand, the states can always choose not to ratify such an amendment, in which case Congress remains without constitutional authority to regulate healthcare.
In the meanwhile, Reid and Pelosi are treasonously basing Obamacare legislation on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers. So they might just as well make legislation to build a federal prison for corrupt congressmen and move into it.
The bottom line is that Constitution-defending patriots have a big mess to clean up in DC in this year’s midterm elections.
yup!

James. you ever talk with these moderators about what is allowed here?
It's never happened to me until this afternoon…The only word in my
post was socialist, otherwise it seemed ok to me, actually socialist
seems like it would be ok too….
Medicare and Medicaid, both GOVERNMENT-run insurers, deny more claims than the private insurance companies you claim to hate. Do you think it's going to be any different under Obamacare? Do you really think that the government will pay every claim; that there won't be any denied claims? And, for the record, patients under the new plan have no recourse to sue as they do now with private plans.
We are acting. We're preserving teh law by acting within the law.
30-40% of people born in America generally don't share teh values of liberty. Prior to 1917, the Seante was structured to preven nonsense at teh fedeal level. Wilson changed it in cooperation with Teddy R (dam those Teds) -but – many millions are awake and acting. Here we teapartiers just put our candidate in charge of the Repub party.
Dems are afraid to show their faces – they are ashamed. As these people grasp tighter, more people slip through and are repelled. There will be a tipping point. It wil.
Obama NEEDS a Desparate people willing to do anything – Americans don't get desparate when threatened, we turn, fight back and prevail – for now this war is non-violent. We will work thru 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016. If there's a progressive – they get primaried or voted out in teh general. We demand teh Attorney's general felony prosecute corruption – for teh small fry who enable the big fish as well as the big fish. When we control congress we throw Slaughter out etc. Have faith
The constitution does not give the federal government the authority to force the people to buy anything.
What ever you call this, it's unconstitutional.
and in what mythical place do these free markets exist, my friend.
Right here in America but you wouldn't know that Joe since you are part of the cadre destroying this country.
