New Hampshire Obamacare Expansion and The Battle for the Soul of the Republican Party

This Thursday, the New Hampshire House and Senate will take a vote that could alter the course of our state with devastating consequences.  Indeed, we might have to alter our legendary state motto from “Live Free or Die” to “Live for Free and Die” as we face a changing ethos that exchanges liberty, freedom, and achievement for dependence on the federal government, diminished economic freedom, and the wretched health outcomes delivered by a centrally-planned healthcare system.  New Hampshire’s very own distinguished Revolutionary War hero General John Stark coined our state motto in a tribute letter to his fellow comrades in celebration of the Battle of Bennington – a turning point for the Rebels in the Revolutionary War.

We fought the Revolutionary War so that we could have self-government, freedom from taxation for revenue, and freedom from mob rule – favoring instead a form of government that holds the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as sacrosanct.

Today, we fight our modern day Battle of Bennington.  Just as the British sought to control the colonies, the federal government now seeks to destroy our New Hampshire state sovereignty through federal regulation of our healthcare system and fiscal enslavement through the increased federal debt and the ultimate state taxes that will result from Obamacare expansion.

We know that the uACA (That’s unAffordable Care Act) has already forced millions of jobs out of existence.  With employment suffering from ObamaCare and the looming shadow of the return of the bride of the business mandate portion of the ACA next year, millions more jobs will be erased by Democrat policy.  So what does the  DSCC rapid response team do?  They ask their base to push for a job killing national minimum wage increase in the Senate.

Friend — This is important: Senate Democrats are working on a plan to stimulate the economy by raising the minimum wage.

But even though it will help lift millions of workers out of poverty, Tea Party Republicans in the House are already threatening to block this critical legislation.

As Democrats push for Medicaid Expansion in New Hampsshire, and Republicans attempt to formulate their own method for doing the same, keep this in mind…  (Expansion killing Graph on the jump.)

From IJR..

The Leftist theory that adding uninsured onto a government health care plan will cause them to seek preventative care vs. the higher cost emergency room care is great in theory, but that theory falls apart in the real world.

Adding around 400,000 (and a lot more in the future) people to Medicaid will NOT reduce the US health care costs and that is easily proven with historical data.

The left, particularly the far left, knows nothing about Conservatives because most of them do not know any. None of their friends, none of the people they work with, no one they hang out with or talk to, is anything but an ideological duplicate of themselves. Yes, they might mingle with people on the right, but the correct terms for that are troll, tracker, and stalker.

As evidence of this, let me offer an example.

ProgressNow (Minnesota Based), the self-admitted progressive (see also socialist) political action group in America (see also left-wing non-profit), whose goal is to advance the Progressive (see also socialist) agenda in every state they put their big progressive toe in,  is the ATM behind Out of state based GraniteState Progress in New Hampshire.

ProgressNow is also the ATM behind ProgressNow Colorado, which recently released this ad in support of ObamaCare.

The new ad shows a woman holding a packet of birth control pills, while a suave-looking young man stands next to her with his arm around her waist. 

The caption reads: “OMG, he’s hot! Let’s hope he’s as easy to get as this birth control. My health insurance covers the pill, which means all I have to worry about is getting him between the covers.”

Are all Democrat women sex-starved creatures desperate to acquire satisfaction?  Have you considered having sex with a Conservative?   You know, a real man?

Barack Obama is guilty of fraud — serial fraud — that is orders of magnitude more serious than frauds the Justice Department routinely prosecutes, and that courts punish harshly. The victims will be out billions of dollars, quite apart from other anxiety and disruption that will befall them.

The president will not be prosecuted, of course, but that is immaterial. As discussed here before, the remedy for profound presidential corruption is political, not legal.  It is impeachment and removal. “High crimes and misdemeanors” — the Constitution’s predicate for impeachment — need not be indictable offenses under the criminal code. “They relate chiefly,” Hamilton explained in Federalist No. 65, “to injuries done immediately to the society itself.

Dear MoveOn member,

There’s no sugar-coating it: Obamacare is in serious political trouble. And progressives need to step up and start fighting to save it right now.

Obviously, the law itself is still really good. But it’s clear to everyone that rollout has been badly botched—and now Republicans smell blood in the water. They think this is their chance to undo the whole thing. Worse yet, some Democrats in Congress are starting to waver too.¹
