Your Daily Dose of Joy: But here's where the trouble starts

But here’s where the trouble starts

The rejection of the Commerce Clause and Nec. and Proper Clause should be understood as a major blow to Congress’s authority to pass social welfare laws. Using the tax code — especially in the current political environment — to promote social welfare is going to be a very chancy proposition.

So, yes, it’s a victory today, but Obama really passed a massive tax. A tax that is going to help millions of people, yes, but it will be framed as a tax throughout the campaign season. The real life implications for millions of Americans is honestly astounding. It can be life-changing. But all we’re going to hear from the RNC is that this was a massive new tax. Plain and simple. 

This is a sad truth.  One of my Rep. friends on FB already posted a status update that “Obama passed a historic tax increase in the middle of the worst recession ever yada yada yada.”  Robert’s decision may turn into a Trojan horse situation for the Dems.  Hopefully someone over at the DNC is on top of this (for once)!

theatlantic:

Video of the Day: Taylor Swift Look-Alikes for Rick Santorum

I had to use google to figure out if this was a joke, or white pride trolling liberals or…or…I don’t even know anymore.  (It’s not.)  Sample lyrics: 

Oh, there is Hope for our Nation again
Maybe the First time Since we Had Ronald Reagan
There will be Justice for the Unborn
Factories back on our Shores
Where the Constitution rules our land
Yes, I Believe… Rick Santorum is our Man!
….
GAME ON! Change is at hand
Faithful to his Wife and Seven Kids - He’ll be Loyal to our land

I can’t even engage with the Republican primary process at this point because every time I dip a toe in, I nearly have a brain aneurysm.  

Side Note: ‘Justice for the Unborn’ would be a great Christian death metal band name, right?
