But the sacrifice and punishment of the competent, the able, the most productive, the most successful, the hardest-working, most dedicated of Americans is precisely Obama's goal -- and Obamacare is just one more way of forcing the best people of the country into servitude to the worst. May looter-in-chief Obama and his fellow power-lusters in Congress rot in hell.

At root, Obama's claim that switching to "green energy" will create jobs and stimulate economic growth is based on the economic fallacy of confusing “need” with “economic demand”.
Even if it were true that we need to switch to “green energy”, the mere fact of that need does not magically cause all the money required to pay for solar cells and windmills to come into existence. Instead, consumers will be forced to decrease spending on many other items in order to pay for such things. So any alleged jobs created building solar panels will be canceled by jobs lost in other industries as demand goes down for other items.
The whole notion of having to replace the entire current, multi-trillion-dollar energy infrastructure -- and somehow having this work out to be a net increase in wealth -- is completely insane.

Dream on, Voice of Unreason. The American people are marching in protest in the streets like never before. And that's because there is definitely a principle involved: our right to run our own lives VERSUS the Obama adminstration's desire to stamp out our liberty to do so.
The Republicans have noticed and are paying attention. Obama and the Democrats and their useful idiot supporters are in complete denial and desperate to pretend that it doesn't mean what it means.
You will find out in November.

After Obama was elected Socialist-in-Chief, I fully expected the Republicans to pull their usual stunt and start compromising to give Obama 50% of what he wants now while knowing full well he'd come back for the other 50% later. But to my astonishment, that did not happen!
So I'm prepared to give the party the benefit of the doubt -- I've never seen the Republicans stand on principle before, but will be overjoyed to support you if you continue to do so now.
It is crucial to get Obamacare repealed. Even if Obama vetoes the repeal, that will only serve to prove his intent to ram his agenda down our throats whether we like it or not -- which will surely doom him in 2012.
The most crucial thing for Republicans in 2012 is to not permit Mit Romney or anyone similar to get anywhere near the Republican nomination -- it will be death for the party to nominate any "conventional" Republican who has backed big government statism in the past.
So hang tough representative Cantor! Don’t let your fellow Republicans compromise their way to another defeat.
