I think ANY employer should be allowed to deny any particular part of the coverage provided under Obamacare to the Lord-Employers' Serf/workers.

As a result any such employer action denying any aspect or kinds of coverage legally provided to their employees by ObamaCares - all affected employees will be given the opportunity (having been denied any part of the legally available coverage under Obamacare) to make the free election to be covered by Medicare.

Go ahead Obamacare hating partisan-employers. Hack away at Obamacare --- and watch the Single Payer system grow.

.. in their Hobby Lobby encyclical, the Ayatollah Roberts and minions again decreed that American shall burn down its mistaken venture into this sordid democratic society and shall be returned to the God ordained & preferred system of Corporate Feudalism. In the 21st century version of this society Corporations (and any employer) and the uber Wealthy are the new Lords. Anyone who works for a paycheck is by definition a serf - owing fealty to his Lord-employer. accordingly, it is entirely proper for Worker- Serfs to be told what behaviors their Lord-Employers will deign to tolerate. The concept of a free and independent person, being 'endowed by his Creator with inalienable rights" is a false, heretical concept cooked up by 18th Century radicals such as Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson - which is repugnant to God, the Grand Ayatollah Roberts and your Lord-Employers. This idea that serfs can somehow, make up their own minds on matters of personal conduct and actually rule themselves is dangerous nonsense.

It is entirely in keeping with God's plan, for Corporate/Employer Lords to tell their Serf-Workers what they shall be allowed to do and what activities will be proscribed by their Lords. Note, that such constructions as "governments of and by the people" (in time) shall not be allowed to assert/protect any fictional rights of man (i.e. Serfs) in the face of edicts by the Ayatollah or declarations by any of the Corporate/employer Lords of the Corporate Feudalist state.

eventually, wayward Serfs will realize this is a better system as the Lords and of course, the Ayatollah, will look out for you all - as they know better than you what is best for you.

JERUSALEM — The Israeli army confirmed Monday evening that search teams found the bodies of three kidnapped Israeli teenagers, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that the Islamist militant group accused of the abductions would pay a heavy price.

Speaking at the start of a meeting of his security cabinet following the grisly discovery, Netanyahu said, “Hamas is responsible, and Hamas will pay.” He said the three “were kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by wild beasts.” The teenagers were abducted June 12 as they made their way home from their religious school in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

While few details were released on the exact fate of the three teens, security officials said the bodies of Naftali Fraenkel and Gilad Shaar, both 16, and Eyal Yifrach, 19, were found in an open area close to Hebron, in the West Bank, near the location where the teens disappeared. Fraenkel was a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen.

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli army spokesman, said the bodies were discovered around 5 p.m. Monday afternoon by civilian volunteer searchers near the village of Halhul just north of Hebron.

... once again we have a GOP toady of M$M asking "what happened" to the President's approval ratings, as if they in the M$M haven't been passing on the GOP narrative that everything is Obama's fault - as if the GOP haven't been sabotaging everything the President and the Democrats have been trying to do and setting records for filibustering - which the fascist fearful M$M hasn't considered newsworthy.

I really wish one Obama administration rep would answer such a question - where the interviewer is playing dumb about their complicity in helping to sell the GOP narrative that leaves out their dedicated sabotage of everything Obama and the Democrats have tried to do to repair the economy from the Republican's Trickle Down disaster.....something like the following:





>>>>... what do you have to say Cynthia? .... Oh, cat got your tongue?





.... M$M worried about losing audience to the internet would be better served by actually reporting on what is going on - rather than putting on disgusting advertisements about how their quazi-news programs stars really caring about and really being friends of us 'common buggers'. Yeah, right!

Cynthia McFadden 'did her bit' for the GOP cause in her interview of Valerie Jarrett she asked:

"Well, I think the people are frustrated by the Government's slow progress on building an economic recovery to the Trickle Down - Deregulation disaster - and on other matters. But gosh Cynthia, certainly you know that the public's impression of the President - and of others in Washington - is dependent a lot upon where they get their news - and how the news is reported. Most people get their news from you people in the M$M.

And I'm surprised, Cynthia you'd ask that question when you know since the President came into office you people in the M$M must have had hundreds of conversations - with the usual favored pundits - about the President's "leadership" while during that same time period the word "filibuster" seems to have been taboo on M$M. In fact I don't think since President Obama came into office the word 'filibuster' has passed the lips of anyone on M$M - even though the Republicans have set new records for filibustering (formally and by amendment) during that time period. The result is the latest Congress has been recognized - in the print media anyway - as the least productive Congress in our history.

But tell me, Cynthia, because I am not a media news producer - why is it nobody in M$M has whispered the word 'filibuster' since President Obama entered the White House, despite the fact that the Republicans have set records for filibustering..??? Explain that to me please, Cynthia, how THAT is not news?

... Far be it from me to accuse anybody of promulgating disinformation, but do you think that this kind of selective reporting of the news might have something to do with the public's attitude re the President?"

Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig believes he’s found a way to fight — and possibly end — superPACs  forever. But first, he needs to form a SuperPAC of his own. Lessig talked to Ezra Klein about how big money influences policy, why he launched his own superPAC, and how to make politicians listen — really listen — to ordinary Americans.

you can count on the Roberts court to produce a decision (an easy one for them) that will help advance our decline further into a Corporate Fuedalist state....Roberts, Scalia's and ScAlito's idea of a utopia. What conservatives never 'get' is that serfs don't have enough disposable income to support a strong growing economy. Businessmen will find it hard to grow sales and profits and therefor to grow their businesses. As a result you get mediocre job creation - at best - and elevated unemployment rates.
