Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA4) Healthcare Townhall Meeting - 08/10/2009

At the end of Rep. Hank Johnson's townhall meeting on healthcare, after being told over and over that the federal government has to do something about this "crisis," someone finally stood up and asked the question that OUGHT to be asked regarding every single piece of legislation that Congress votes on: "Where does the Constitution give you the authority for that?" We're talking Article 1, Section 8 here -- where the actual powers of Congress are ENUMERATED.

Hank Johnson's response was to ramble on about the Preamble, where it says to "promote the general welfare" -- as if that gives Congress the power to do anything in the world it wants to!

This is exactly what's wrong here: Members of Congress who have NO CLUE what the U.S. Constitution even SAYS, much less what it MEANS.

Vote all 434 of them out! (We all know there's ONE who should stay!)

Hank Johnson is dumb as a box of rocks. This is what happens when affirmative action is allowed to go on much too long. This clown knows nothing about the constitution or anything for that matter. He is a retard!

As you would guess, he still believes the global warming scam. He is a typical believer in global warming, they are all a bunch of fucking idiots. Soon they will declare oxygen a pollutant to tax the grass and trees on our land. No, they can't do that, we wont have any land by then.

Read Ezekiel Emanuel's article that this is modeled after, then tell me if it is wonderful. "Principles For the Allocation of Scarce Medical Intervention". Politicians (the government) gets to tell you if you are a benefit to society in your condition. If not, then you get less and less care. Read it and find out you dummies.
