Chuck Baldwin tells it straight

Oh, boy, does he ever.  If one reads this article and still insists on voting for Romney as the “lessor of two evils”, or whatever, then one has the comprehension capacity of a turnip.

An excerpt:
“As I have noted in previous columns, the differences between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are miniscule on virtually every salient issue. They both supported TARP; they both supported Obama’s economic stimulus package; they both supported so-called assault weapons bans and other gun control measures; Obama has an “F” rating from Gun Owners of America, while Romney has a “D-” rating from GOA; neither man supports a balanced budget; neither man opposes foreign aid; they both supported the bailout of the auto industry; they both have a track record of being big spenders; they both fully support the Federal Reserve; they both oppose a full audit of the Fed; they are both supporters of universal health care; both men are showered with campaign contributions from Wall Street; neither of them wants to eliminate the IRS or the direct income tax; both men are on record as saying the TSA is doing a “great job”; they both supported the NDAA, including the indefinite detention of American citizens without due process of law; they both supported the renewal of the Patriot Act; they both believe that the President has “executive power” to assassinate and kill; both support the “free trade” agenda of the global elite; they are both soft on illegal immigration; they both support NAFTA and CAFTA; they both have a history of appointing liberal judges; they both believe the President has the authority to take the nation to war without the approval of Congress; and neither of them has any qualms about running up more public debt to the already gargantuan debt of 16 trillion dollars.”

Bush Appointee puts final nail in Constitution’s Coffin

So the “brilliant” Chief Justice John Roberts says that a fine for doing nothing is basically a tax, and therefore Obamacare is Constitutional.  Great!  Now, the FedGov has a wide array of methods open to it to fix the economy, end the abortion debate, etc.  If the Government wants you to do something, it merely has to pass a law and assign some sort of fine for noncompliance.  Don’t worry, the “fine” is actually a Constitutionally acceptable form of tax, which is clearly within Congress’ authority.  So, to help the housing market, the FedGov passes a law to purchase a house or pay a fine.

Also, Congress now has a massive new tax-raising authority that will please both sides of the aisle.  If you haven’t had an abortion this year, then get one, or pay a fine (that one’s for the Dems).  If you don’t own a gun, then buy one, or pay a fine! (for the GOP).  They don’t really care whether you actually get an abortion or buy a gun; in fact, they probably would rather you pay the fine, since that would mean gravy for them.

Thanks, President Bush, for appointing this ninny to be our Chief Justice!

Thanks, Governor Romney, for inspiring Obama with a dictatorial health care plan!

Thanks, Republicans, for looking out for our freedom!
