There is one aspect of a successful person's character that no one is mentioning. As important as hard work, and more important than brain power is DISCIPLINE. Behind every smart (or not so smart), hard working, successful man or woman is the discipline to put off immediate gratification, revenge, greed or whatever in order to keep pushing for that success. Yes, you may have had a sleepless night (or nights) worrying about how you were going to make payroll or pay your taxes, or pay your suppliers but in the morning you got up bright and early and assumed the role of a leader even. That's Discipline. It's a rare quality in America. That is why a fraud like Obama has appeal.
Miss Coulter, many think it and discuss it in private, but you have the courage to go public. My parents were immigrants, but they worked their way in. They didn't go on the dole, ever. We have opened our doors to the wrong people. Other countries, including Mexico, are not this generous. About politicians; Republicans are idiots and Democrats are Villains. I'll go with the idiots.

Like many businessmen I labored for decades to build my estate. What has Obama ever done? He is nothing but a spoiled brat from Academia whose silly ideas didn't work when Hoover and Roosevelt tried them in the 1930's. What Government does build is done with wealth from the Private sector, not the other way around. For some crazy reason people insist this President is smart. To me he is average, and not well versed and certainly not versed on the subject of America. This guy thought there are 57 States.
It is frustrating to see all the ammunition that the Obama regime has given the Republican party only to have the Party issue some wimpy protest or complex legal machinations that Joe Public hardly pays attention to. This is why the Tea Party came to be. Why pull our punches? Go after the Socialist idiots in King Obama's Court with all the sensationalism that would make Debby Wasserman Shultz blush. Beat them with their own stick.
Roberts ignored the Constitution. He is among the Progressives who want to replace America's 200 year old Republican ideal that worked superbly with Europe's 150 year old Socialist ideal that was the leading cause of murder (War) in the 20th Century. Socialism still doesn't work. The New Speak that Roberts used to justify this assault on freedom makes me think we need a Constitutional amendment to impose term limits on the Supreme Justices. Maybe Roberts was trying to create distrust of the Court that would lead to term limits. That's as good an argument as any that have tried to explain his nonsense.
How the Court approved the expansion of Government control over our lives is irrelevant. The fact is that Obama Care got the stamp of approval. We are kidding ourselves if we think this is a loss for the Progressives/Democrats . It is a clear victory for the Left and it may propel the worst President since Jimmy Carter back into office again in November.
Some see wisdom in John Robert's ruling. I see sophistry. The Supreme Court is supposed to rule on the Constitutionality of making individuals buy something; not to help us realize that Congress can raise taxes. What the majority did is ignore their commission in favor of Judicial activism. Our Republic is in a crisis and Justice Roberts gives us lawyer speak. He is a disgrace, as are the other Progressives on that Court.
I believe the American Revolution began when the British Government insisted that the Colonies by a product called Tea. 236 years later we are back to square one. Sorry Justice Roberts, but you dropped the ball, the Constitution was intended to prevent what you chose to overlook.

Change that to "aren't buying this".

Six of one, a half dozen of the other. They have stretched the "Commerce Clause" clause to a point where even a pseudo-conservative like Justice Roberts couldn't make it fit. So, in the spirit of judicial activism, he invents a new issue: the right of Congress to impose taxes. But wait a minute! Taxes are imposed on transactions, such as income, sales, ownership of property, etc. It's based on give and take. Now are we to accept that Congress has the right to tax us just because it can? If it were a tax on breathing it would have more validity, but Justice Roberts validated a tax on doing nothing. I hope my fellow Americans are buying this.
No one over the age of 17 has the right to be surprised by the results of the "Arab Spring".
