My coworker just said "they can't do that because the founding fathers wrote the constitution based on the old testimate". Also, this is the end of the country.

Obama should land on a hospital roof in a Life Flight helicopter while wearing a paramedics uniform.

with updated super not racist text for whiners

Heh. The CNN news flash on my iPhone said they struck it down.

DEWEY DEFEATS OBAMACARE

I got a breaking news alert on my phone from CNN that the individual mandate was struck down, then a correction 15 minutes later.

You suck so hard CNN. I hope people lose their jobs over this one.

CNN - The president has been shot.

Correction - The president has shot a personal best three under par this weekend.

TIKIMAN87: Obama has just destroyed this country.

The country was already pretty messed up. That's why I always throw my cigarette butts out the window.

That does it...this country is officially Nazi Russia.

This is just further evidence of the Obama Junta. Chief Justice Roberts is a member of the secret society of government officials hell bent on turning America into an effective nation.

LOL free republic is melting down

Jackson Herring: [i.imgur.com image 640x281]

* shakes tiny impotent fist of rage *

Yakk: Free Republics servers have blown up, this will be added to the conspiracy mix.

What's best about this is the wingnuts planned the word Obamacare to be a derogatory term but now it will live for decades as a term giving a Democrat credit for something that they'll never be able to get rid of because people would go ape about it.

I think today will be a dress rehearsal for the kind of reaction that will happen after the presidential election. Then Romney will be like, hey, I voted for Obama too.

That officially counts as a 'holy shiat' moment. I was convinced they were going to strike it down 5-4 and I had a 'SCOTUS is hopelessly corrupt' rant all ready to go. Now what am I gonna do with the rest of my day?

Congratulations to Governor Romney on the Supreme Court upholding the Constitutionality of his health care law!

TIKIMAN87: Obama has just destroyed this country.

Feel free to leave! Take your bridge with you!

lousyskater: I didn't really care which way this went, but man I need to get some popcorn for this one. DIS GONNA BE GOOD.



Here.

I made enough for everyone.

: )

My only question about the Freepers is: if conservatives start a civil war, will their health insurance cover assault rifle wounds?

Holy crap. Free Republic is starting to look like freakin' Alderan.

So many voices crying out... So... much... pain!

/Oblig, hot, all that.

Roberts? Seriously? Meh, all's well that ends well.

Ok, look. This is simple.

If someone can't afford to stay competitive, why do they deserve to compete?

If someone can't afford to keep working, why do they deserve to work?

If someone can't afford to stay healthy, why do they deserve health?

If someone can't afford to stay alive, why do they deserve to live?

You get what you pay for. If you can't afford to pay, well... I suppose it's polite to pretend that it was nice knowing you, but you aren't much use anymore, are you?

And if you disagree with all of the above statements, great! Politics takes money. If someone can't afford a lobbyist or a campaign, why do they deserve to have an opinion?

If corporations are people, are they required to have insurance?

Yay! The United States enters the mid-twentieth century!

It's a trap! tax!

WHOOOOOOOOOO! Suck it, Republitards!

Coco LaFemme: Do it, you raging sack of quivering pussies. If this country you once loved oh so much is now a shell of its former self, and the only way to reclaim its glory is through bloodshed, then start shedding some blood, assholes. Come on, be men for once in your pathetic lives. Prove you have the biggest patriot boners in all the land.

Mr_Ectomy: You give me a socialist boner.

Remember, if it's a socialist boner, then you have to share.

Brandyelf: Freepervillle is trying to spike the online poll at WCBV in Boston (about halfway down the page on the left).

Show them we can do better, Fark.

My VCOM (Very Conservative Office Mate) is flipping over today's decision. I asked him if he hated the freedom of insuring his kids (he has a lot) until they're 26. He said of course not. I asked him if my daughter, who has a pre-existing condition (asthma) should be denied insurance when she becomes independent because of that. He said of course not. I then asked what he objected to, and he told me we were all going to lose our insurance and be forced to buy government insurance and we wouldn't be allowed to see our own doctors anymore, but would instead have to go to whomever the government tells us to. Plus we would have to pay thousands more every year to pay for insurance for illegal immigrants.

This is how people "think".

Appropriate:

Because the original was asked to leave, I'll step in for the day.



Impeach Roberts.

*

Did Roberts wake up next to a horse head one morning?

*

America is gone.
The most horrendous monster of a law that the world has ever seen has now been cemented into place.
There may still be a nation named America but we can now kiss goodbye to prosperity as we used to know it.
Minimum 16% extra tax, and that's just for starters.
If only "the poor" would be asked to pay their fair share, but I suspect that will never happen.
Everybody pays for everyone else = "the rich" (anybody who pays taxes) pays for everyone who don't.
In order to "save" 30 million uninsured (allegedly) the other 280 million are now to be strangled, slowly.

*

Look on the bright side.

At least we can now run ads until the election saying Obama and the Democrats have imposed the largest tax increase in American history.

They can now run ads of death panels.

They can now run ads of legislation that will increase premiums.

They can now Throw Grandma off the cliff and blame the Democrats.

*

We are all now officially slaves owned by and for the U.S. Federal Government.

*

This just in on the News Wires:

"Supreme Court Consumes Bath Salts and in Zombie-Like Attack Eat the Constitution".


Anyone who has health care with an employer just lost it today. Your employer will pay the fine and you will be dumped into the health care pool. Your salary will go up little to none, but your taxes will go up big time to pay for all the deadbeats. The hard working poeple just lost big time! I just hope the unions also are subject to be dumped in the pool with the rest of us!

*

I have never been more ashamed of my country. Today my country is dead to me.

Long live Texas!

*

Roberts is a GD'd Traitor! Thanks for nothing, W.

*

Roberts betrayed us.
Kennedy wanted to strike the whole thing down.

Kennedy said the whole thing is unconstitutional which it is.

Bush should have picked Janice Rogers Brown.

We need a 2nd revolution. This is tyranny

*

John Robert's poison legacy: Mexican takeover of America, and Socialist dictatorship. IMPEACH this traitorous bastard.

*

This is why elections count. To all the imbeciles who stayed at home and allowed this socialist would be dictator to become president; how do you like the new taxes that are being crammed down your throat?

Nobody knows how hard they are being hammered by this outrage. We have been effectively raped by our own government.

*

The only problem that Liberals have with the history of chattel slavery in the America is that the slaves were privately owned.

*

The law was not written or constructed with the mandate as a tax. If the mandate is a tax then the law should have to be rewritten and sent back through the process. Written as a mandate the law is now invalid. Try to get it through as a tax.

If not, then slaves have risen up throughout history. It might be time for civil disobedience and whatever else needed to remove the entire population of politicians from their perches. Enough of this crap. If representatives no longer represent us then let them be removed.

This next one nearly killed me:

It's time to start viewing the federal government with hostility.

*

This is fascism. Welcome to the Fourth Reich.

*

The Confederate States of America doesn't look so bad now, does it?

*

"This is why elections count. To all the imbeciles who stayed at home and allowed this socialist would be dictator to become president; how do you like the new taxes that are being crammed down your throat?
They are as culpable as the blithering morons who pulled the lever to elect this dictator."

How about imbeciles who supported the architect of Obamneycare as the GOP nominee? They should be happy today. Their guy's ideas won.

*

This is going to bring about a revolution. Got your guns ready?

*

Roberts should say it like it is: congress passed the law, not me. Be mad at congress, not the court.
BULLshiat....he was a Stealth Marxist all along

IMPEACH ROBERTS

*

If the Constitution was not a dead letter before today, it is now. There are no longer any constraints whatsoever on the power of the government as against the individual, nor does it recognize any.

We are indeed, for all intents and purposes, slaves of our government, to dispose of as they see fit.

And I for one will act as any slave would; they will only get the bare minimum out of me. It's off to Galt's Gulch.

*

In shock. Who knew Roberts was a lib..and a coward.

*

No only disgusting, but this ensures Obama will win in November....
Roomey will win now

*

"...but this ensures Obama will win in November...."

On the contrary, this has awakened a sleeping giant. Now, anyone who does not get out and vote against Obama is officially an enemy of the United States.

*

OBAMACARE = SLAVERY

repeat often to everyone.

OBAMACARE = SLAVERY

that is out talking point.

now vote out every single democrat.

*

Will somebody please ping me wrt location, time, etc., of commencement of our rioting.

*

I will not vote ever again for the GOP rather I will vote for the most liberal/socialists/leftists etc candidate from now on.
Voting any other way will not matter as it will be a waste of time and a vote.....

Above post is totally emotional reaction....

This next one makes sense since their entire economic policy is based on the dreams of a 13-year old...

A 4th grader can see that this is not Constitutional.

If the government can do this, what the F can't it do to us?

*

When and Where is the first anti-slavery rally?

OBAMACARE = SLAVERY

*

If the GOP is smart...
I see a flaw in your statement.Ed: so do I

*

RIP America.

*

Could John Roberts have been "blackmailed"? It may not be as farfetched as it sounds!
I think my husband and I are going to sell our home and his business. We are going to buy a camper and become gypsies! I am NOT giving one more damn dime to any of these marxists!

*

We now have to demand of any elected Representative and Senator that they will not get our vote unless they promise to repeal this monstrosity...or our freedom is lost forever.

*

Sorry to say, if you think this is ever going away, you're tilting at windmills. There is no way this is ever being repealed.

*

"prepare yourselves.."

My fellow American, we have been preparing for a civil revolution since 2008!

The freeloaders will not give up theirs without a serious fight and God willing, the good American people will give them a fight they won't soon forget. the fighting won't end until the American people take back their Constitutional government.

The adverse decision from SCOTUS is exactly what our forefathers feared in creating another government when they wrote the Constitution in the first place. Their fears have come true, unfortunately, the American people will have to again pick up arms to repel another oppressive tyrannical government.

Prepared, you bet your a$$!!!!

*

So, the federal government CAN mandate commerce, they simply need to represent it is a negative tax: Do this or else get taxed. So much for the US Constitution.

Since the federal government refuses to obey the constitution we should too! REVOLT!!!

CNN. No matter what your political viewpoint, you gotta respect a news organization that gives everyone what they want to hear.

Doctor Funkenstein: Wait, does this mean we get to put Trig Palin in front of that death panel now?

Why just Trig?

Someone should appeal.

Roberts quotes Ben Franklin in ruling: "Nothing in life is guaranteed except death and taxes" Epic troll commences.

And commence the Republican butthurt.....NOW.

SouthernFriedYankee: The end zone dancing is very much misplaced. The powerful will avoid shouldering any additional burden, while the powerless will not be able to do so. It's probably good news for welfare riders, but for the working poor it's going to be a disaster, economically. So much for hiring picking up. So much for economic recovery.

But hey, your team won, right? And that's all that matters.

Congrats.

Sid_the_sadist: I'm going to quit my job and go on welfare now. fark you guys, you pay for my shiat from now on. Including my healthcare.

Umm, your profile says you were in the military, who do you think paid for that and your healthcare? Also, it says you live in Mississippi, you're already part of a welfare state so who cares?

Weaver95: well that was weird and uncomfortable...Romney actually almost showed a valid emotional response on live TV.

Get out of the market before November. Should BO win, the computers at the stock exchanges will burst into flames with investors trying to sell.

I can't stay in business with this ruling.
I have to close.
Will sell off client list with consistent repeat business. Nice return on investment.

I love the last one: the guy can't stay in business but will sell it to you and you will get a "nice return on investment". WTF? He just said he can't stay in business with this ruling!

Hilarious reddit comment on CNN failing so hard with this

"CNN: always first...sometimes right"

YoungSwedishBlonde: Holy farking shiat, Roberts upholds Obamacare? My mind is full of billions and billions and billions upon billions of f*ck.

It was originally a conservative alternative to more liberal policies.



The fact that people are in disbelief just shows how absurdly partisan the Roberts court has been acting of late.

ManicMechanic: Good bye freedom. I am soooooooo sick over this. It's like paying to breathe air (coming soon I guess now).
I am ashamed of this........................

At least people from overseas will stop coming to the US for healthcare. Ours will soon be as bad as theirs.

Thankfully for you, Obamacare will cover retarded individuals' special needs.

Time to get out the Paul Revere hats and the misspelled signs.

Actually, he was anti-tribalist and overtly Marxist.

"jacking up premiums"

I don't see what the problem is. Everyone just needs to start businesses, drill for oil, abuse loopholes and tax shelters, hire overseas and put your money in the Cayman Islands. That will save you from any additional taxes. Every American can do that, right?

brobdiggy: It amazes me that so many of you think this is a great thing. It's just the government getting its foot in the door to have even greater power.

1. Government makes everyone have health care, and starts to pay for many more people's health care.
2. Government realizes this actually will increase the cost of health care. Needs to reign in costs.
3. Government tells people "We pay for your health care, so we can dictate your health".
4. Government bans Cheetos, DQ Blizzards, and King Size Candy Bars.

// this has already started with the large soda bans.
// so much for freedom of choice.

Is that Walmart red your using?

Poor Romney. He looks like a President in photographs, but when he talks he looks and sounds like a whiny and petulant little biatch.

But it's a good thing he has a plan to fix everything. First he's going to repeal the Affordable Care Act, except for the good parts that he agrees with (but for some reason he can't say exactly which parts he's going to keep), and then he's going to pass something else (but for some reason he can't say exactly what something else is). Yep, what strong convictions and bold leadership.

"I don't know what 'butthurt' means."

Mitt Romney is currently lying his robotic ass off on my TV right now. YOU DID THE SAME THING IN MASSACHUSETTS, YOU SWIZZLESTICK. What did he think "Romneycare" was? The nickname Ann gave for his dick? For fark's sake.

This time for sure....


Hey, Dana, was there a bag of dicks included in those just desserts? 'Cos I think the SCOTUS just suggested you eat one

He just killed teh freedoms.

Anagrammer: OK, So the HUGE Obama tax increase on everyone, including those who make under $250,000/yr. is legal.

I'd prefer that they decided against the HUGE Obama tax increase, but it looks like the HUGE Obama tax increase is here to stay.

So what you are saying is that you're obsessed with how HUGE Obama is. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Ah, so a descendent of the conservative market-based health care plan designed by the Heritage Foundation that suddenly became "socialism" when the Clintons got interested in it finally got passed. What a dark day for conservatives who favor market-based solutions.

I don't have much of a political or legal opinion on the merit of the Court's decision, but I look forward to two straight weeks of hyperbole, insurrection bluffs and greasy moron tears.

Chief Justice Roberts does it for the lulz.

Well the freepers should be consoled that even though they are forced to pay for insurance, they don't actually have to have it.

I think, from a Darwinian point of view, this is the best possible outcome. Freepers pay for insurance and then refuse it out of spite.

Does Kennedy just flip a coin these days?

How in the world are the illegal aliens that obama allows in this country going to afford the insurance mandate that obama ordered? Sheesh!

Ok, the repukes would have lost either way, and now we have this...thing. So while reactionary butthurt is a wondrful thing.....
