				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On June 28, 2012 at 10:15 a.m. EST, obamacare was ruled unconstitutional via the Commerce Clause, yet ruled Constitutional on the grounds <a href="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/2012/06/r-i-p-liberty/350px-supreme_court_us_2010/" rel="attachment wp-att-58805"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-58805" title="350px-Supreme_Court_US_2010" src="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/350px-Supreme_Court_US_2010-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>that it is a tax, even though the current White House occupant claimed it wasn’t a tax while jamming it through Congress and trying unsuccessfully to sell it to the American public.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wtop.com/209/2109971/High-court-upholds-key-part-of-Obama-health-law">http://www.wtop.com/209/2109971/High-court-upholds-key-part-of-Obama-health-law</a></p>
<p>The Supreme Court of the United States’ landmark ruling on obamacare and obama breaking his oft repeated pledge to not raise taxes on middle class Americans happened simultaneously.</p>
<p>obamacare is a $1.7 trillion tax increase from the candidate who repeatedly swore during the 2008 election and afterwards that during his administration, if you make less than $250,000 a year “you will not see your taxes increase by one single dime, I repeat, not one single dime”…</p>
<p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2009/09/obama-mandate-is-not-a-tax/">http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2009/09/obama-mandate-is-not-a-tax/</a></p>
<p>Unfortunately for obama, as a result of the Supreme Court ruling, beginning in 2014 all Americans will be taxed an additional $700 or 2% of <a href="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/2012/06/r-i-p-liberty/obama-liar-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-58802"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-58802" title="obama-liar" src="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/obama-liar1-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>their income (whichever is greater) for not having healthcare insurance.</p>
<p>obama is vulnerable to attack over this ruling because the Justices did not rule obamacare Constitutional under the commerce clause.  It was only ruled constitutional once viewed as a new tax. Since obama publically and repeatedly said he would never raise taxes on middle class earners, he has to disagree with this ruling, especially because obamacare was ruled unconstitutional under the commerce clause.</p>
<p>Do not hold your breath.</p>
<p>What this clearly shows is that “progressives” are more than happy to use the power of the government to force Americans into doing what they do not want to do.   In order to accomplish that objective, they will lie, cheat, steal and kill without a shred of remorse.  Lie? Look at obama’s no tax pledge.  Cheat? Look at Senator Al Franken’s 2008 election victory.  Steal? Look at all the taxes taken out of every paycheck.  Kill? Look at the results of Fast and Furious.</p>
<p>R.I.P Liberty.</p>
<p>Americans are now subjects. Not citizens.  Enjoy your new tax and enslavement America.</p>
<p>Next obama, being the ever faithful “progressive” that he is will readjust his re-election campaign messaging to run against the middle class tax increase imposed on Americans by that evil GOP appointed Chief Justice Roberts.</p>

<p>To begin with, this &#8220;progressive&#8221; misinformation’s &#8220;headline&#8221; is pure, pre-fabricated nonsense that reads:</p>
<p>&#8220;Top conservative says read my lips: Don’t sign ‘no new tax’ pledge&#8221;.</p>
<p>This &#8220;headline&#8221; is garbage.</p>
<p>First of all, save for his consistently patriotic support for the United States <a href="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/2012/06/news-flash-lindsey-graham-is-a-top-conservative/grahamlindsey-300x224/" rel="attachment wp-att-57042"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-57042" title="grahamlindsey-300x224" src="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/grahamlindsey-300x224-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>military and for American troops, Senator Lindsey Graham is about as moderate as Republicans come. Some Conservatives might characterize him as a &#8220;progressive&#8221; Republican. Even more may openly label him a RINO. The thought of his being a &#8220;top conservative&#8221; comes from the minds of institutionalized &#8220;progressive&#8221; leftists, not reality. Secondly, not once in the interview does Graham ever utter the words &#8220;read my lips&#8221;. Again, readers are witnessing fabricated &#8220;progressive&#8221; wishful fiction, not fact. Furthermore, never did he say &#8220;don’t sign the ‘no new tax’ pledge. Not even once. Not ever.</p>
<p>The entire headline is a total lie. It’s a complete falsehood. The &#8220;news&#8221; presented in this &#8220;headline&#8221; is &#8220;progressive&#8221; fabrication that goes light years beyond the outer limits of &#8220;spin&#8221;.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/power-players-abc-news/top-conservative-says-read-lips-don-t-sign-101721355.html">http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/power-players-abc-news/top-conservative-says-read-lips-don-t-sign-101721355.html</a></span></p>
<p>Thanks to a &#8220;headline&#8221; that’s contains not one ounce of truth, the article is automatically discredited in the minds of informed voters, those who are obviously not the target audience of Karl, Coolidge, Lemos and Pham.</p>
<p>What Graham did say is that he is willing to be flexible on applying one fourth of revenue collected by the IRS through elimination of tax loopholes and subsidies towards reducing the nations nearly $16 trillion in debt. The other three fourths would continue to follow the No New Tax Pledge’s formula for applying such revenues solely towards tax cuts. For Graham to accept this compromise, Democrats would be required to respond in kind to work in a bipartisan fashion towards reducing the national debt via &#8220;entitlement&#8221; program reforms.</p>
<p>That such inaccurate &#8220;reporting&#8221; could be considered, even for a fleeting moment, as real journalism, that these liars are actually getting paid to propagandize pure fiction as fact shows how low are today’s standards for journalistic integrity. This &#8220;headline&#8221; is going to give a large number of low-information, &#8220;sound bite news voters&#8221; a completely incorrect image of reality. It’s not even close to being true. All visible evidence points to clear intent to mislead misinform and indoctrinate masses of online readers.</p>
<p>How about giving this story a more objective headline, a headline that reflects the truth while accurately respects the content of the story? One more like: Graham Willing to Discuss Tax, Entitlement Compromise.</p>
<p>How difficult was that?</p>
<p>Perhaps for self imagined, self-appointed members of the &#8220;progressive&#8221; intellectual elite, it’s just too simple for their brilliant minds.</p>
