The embargo on politically damaging Obama regulations has apparently been lifted.

[INDENT]Floodgates Open on New Health Regs

After months of regulatory delays, the floodgates have apparently opened. The Health and Human Services Department delivered two major health reform rules to the Office of Management and Budget on Friday, the first in an anticipated stream of health regulation.

Many sources close to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services told National Journal that the administration had a number of important health rules ready to go but was holding them back until after the election to avoid a political backlash. Now that President Obama has been reelected, they predicted those rules would start emerging, and fast. The forecast is about right. We are now three days postelection.

The content of the two rules that have gone to OMB have not been made public, but both relate to the insurance exchanges that states must build to sell health plans in 2014. It is not a surprise that exchange rules came first: States must tell HHS whether they plan to build their own exchange or let the federal government do it for them by November 16, next Friday. Many state officials have been complaining that it’s tough to make that decision without more details about how the various options would work.[/INDENT]

Yes it is, vector, and thanks to takers like you, it is unlikely to ever be repealed - at least not until the federal government goes bankrupt.

Great link sawmill, I hope you don't mind if I post the Thomas Jefferson quote from your link; -"I swear before the altar of
God eternal hostility to all forms of tyranny over the minds of men." Profound doesn't quite cut it. I'll be ordering that book from Savage

That sounds an awful like a party that likes to rule over peoples personal lives.I find it odd that you admire someone with his political and religious beliefs.

I liked what I heard coming out of the mouth of Padres announcer Jerry Coleman recently. He was a dive bomber pilot and a baseball great. Coleman, 88, had his nine-year playing career interrupted twice to serve his country as a Marine pilot in World War II and the Korean War, flying 120 missions and earning two Distinguished Flying Crosses, 13 Air Medals and three Navy citations. He retired from the U.S. Marine Corps at the rank of lieutenant colonel.

On the baseball field, Coleman was the Associated Press rookie of the year in 1949 with the New York Yankees. He played on six World Series clubs and was an All-Star and the World Series MVP in 1950 when the Yankees swept the Philadelphia Phillies. [north county times]

He said the following, "If you never served your country, and seen the way the rest of the world lives, you don't know what you're talking about when you criticize this nation."

I agree with the sentiments of Mr Coleman. Jefferson was involved with the formation of this nation through personal sacrifice. Thus he was aware of the cost of freedom. You, on the other hand, don't know what you're talking about. The freedom you enjoy and have such contempt for, cost you nothing. I wouldn't expect you to have the first clue what Jefferson meant by those words. I will have the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ to plead with, when I face Almighty God at the judgement. I don't know if Jefferson will have that privilege or not, but, I am confident you are no authority about the beliefs of Thomas Jefferson. I admire him for his vision, wisdom and love of country.

As do I. What makes you think I have contempt for anything to do with freedom? I just found it odd that you agreed with him, knowing his religious beliefs, and politics that didn't want to impede peoples' personal liberties.

Let me get this straight, now you're saying Jefferson would line up with the left loons which now lead the democrats? :please: You all believe in some strange stuff. You are ok with government sanctioned and taxpayer funded infanticide, which you call women's rights. Likewise you advocate for gay marriage which requires the legalization of homosexuality, and other affronts to traditional American values. These values have existed from the founding of our nation and require special legislation and privilege which force the citizenry to accept as legal that which God has declared abominable and otherwise flies in the face of the idea of the 'common good'. It's one thing to stay out of other people's lives and allow them to do as they wish. It's quite another to have the courts declare certain immoral behaviors to now be moral by law. Resulting in the practice of legislating morality. Trying to legislate morality in such fashion is in fact a form of "tyranny over the minds of men" Because we are now being legislated into submission, forced into accepting in practice, something we know to be wrong in principle. Not to mention the fact that funding the sexual dapravity of the masses costs the taxpayer more than they can afford. The flood of children born to single parents is overwhelming our ability to subsidize through taxation. That's why we're looking down the legislative gunbarrel at sequestration, which takes money meant to use on our national defense and uses that to further fund entitlements for the listless.

Liberals have about as much to do with Jefferson and Lincoln, (another left wing adoptee) as they do with Mitt Romney. Poles apart just to understate the matter.

What are you talking about? Do you think that Thomas Jefferson would have approved of your love of big government and your support of punishing successful businesses and individuals by collecting taxes in amounts far exceeding those that triggered the Revolutionary War. Would Jefferson approved of zoning regulations, eminent domain by government to take property from one corporation for the benefit of another corporation? What would Jefferson say to Obamacare's individual mandate? Or laws that allow unions to legally compel employees to pay union dues against their will as a condition of employment? Would Jefferson be in favor of right to work states or not?

In what way does a big government socialist like Obama demonstrate his commitment to individual liberty? It looks like your ignorance of the Constitution and the men who wrote it extends far beyond the provisions dealing with elections and terms of office. Economic and personal liberty are two sides of the same coin and Jefferson would have been leading a revolution today if he were still alive. He would be shocked to see people like you supporting tyrants like Obama and claiming that you do so because of your belief in personal liberty. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The truth is, Jefferson would be sickened by the extent both major parties support the federal government's restrictions on individual liberty - but if he had to choose between two evils, there is no doubt that he would side with Republicans.
