On The Plate Today:  "Put Ya'll Back In Chains"

Today, Vice President Biden told a crowd, including many black supporters, that Republicans were going to "...Put ya'll back in chains."

Heck - It's the Democrats who have been keeping millions of blacks in America in chains, in ignorance, and dependent on their handouts for decades.

Out of frustration over the state of most of my fellow black Americans who like this arrangement, I wrote this poem years ago:

Still On the Plantation

Still
on the plantation,
and still in chains.

Still eating
from the master's hand.
Nothing's really changed.

Still
on the plantation,
believing the lies.

You stand still
as the world progresses
right before your eyes.

Constance V. Walden


The Democrat Machine benefits from blacks, and everyone, being ignorant and dependent on them; And, the blacks who keep believing their lies and looking for handouts, keep enthusiastically giving them their votes in exchange.

It's a vicious cycle and a downright crying shame.

On The Plate Today:  Marriage Is a Covenant Relationship Between a Man and a Woman.

Marriage is a union between a man and a woman, a covenant designed by God, Himself. 

In the Bible, read Genesis 2:24 and also read what Jesus Christ said about marriage in Mark 10:1-9.  Both verses show that God clearly designed marriage to be a lifetime commitment between one man and one woman.

If a Christian compromises on this issue for political correctness sake, he or she has lost a test of faith.

On The Plate Today: Is Obama Care Like Gang Style Extortion?

Gangster mobs often use extortion to get things from other people.  Seeing as the Democrat Party is where many of today's mobsters like to hang out, it is only natural for them to come up with something like Obama Care.


According to Wikipedia, this is what extortion is:

"Extortion (also called blackmail, shakedown, outwresting, and exaction) is a criminal offense of unlawfully obtaining money, property, or services from a person, entity, or institution, through coercion. Refraining from doing harm is sometimes euphemistically called protection.  (Because it's done by the government make it lawful?)

Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups. The actual obtainment of money or property is not required to commit the offense. Making a threat of violence which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future violence is sufficient to commit the offense. Exaction refers not only to extortion or the unlawful demanding and obtaining of something through force, but additionally, in its formal definition, means the infliction of something such as pain and suffering or making somebody endure something unpleasant.

Extortion is distinguished from robbery. In armed robbery, the offender takes goods from the victim with use of immediate force. In robbery goods are taken or an attempt is made to take the goods against the will of another—with or without force. A bank robbery or extortion of a bank can be committed by a letter handed by the criminal to the teller. In extortion, the victim is threatened to hand over goods, or else damage to their reputation or other harm or violence against them may occur.

Under federal law extortion can be committed with or without the use of force and with or without the use of a weapon. A key difference is that extortion always involves a written or verbal threat whereas robbery can occur without any verbal or written threat."

President Obama and the Democrat Party are hell-bent on forcing the American people to pay for their "Affordable Care Act", with the threat of jail time imposed.  There are also substantial financial "penalties" on those who do not do things they want.

This all seems like extortion to me.

On The Plate Today:   TAX 'UM!  TAX 'UM HIGH!

The Supreme Court found Obama Care to be invalid (unconstitutional) under the Commerce Clause, but upheld it as a tax...an enormous tax on all of the citizens of the United States.

The fact is, Obama's lawyers argued before the Supreme Court that it was a tax. Click View it.

Thanks Democrat Congress of 2009 and thanks President Obama. You've served us up quite a plate.

You tried to hide your monster under the Commerce Clause to keep it from being seen for what it is, a tax...an enormous tax that none of us can afford.

When the decision came down from the Court that as a tax, Obama Care was constitutional,  President Obama, who claimed that it was not a tax, immediately came before the cameras and congratulated the Court on it's wise decision. He had won a great victory to tax the American people into oblivion in order to feed his horrific monster.

In the June 28, 2012 Business Insider, Brett LoGiurato wrote:

"While (Justice Ruth) Ginsburg was a part of the majority opinion, she had differing reasons as to why the mandate was constitutional. The rest of the justices found that under the Commerce Clause, the mandate requiring all U.S. citizens to buy health insurance was not valid. They upheld it as a tax." - making it constitutional.

Duh, wait a minute.  Didn't Mr. Obama promise not to raise taxes on the middle class?  Didn't he repeatedly say that the bill was not a tax?  Why did he then congratulate the Court for finding it was a tax after all?

Lies, perfect lies.

Obama Care...Bye, Bye Freedom

On The Plate Today:  Obama Care Is A Massive Tax on Us All (Something he promised he wouldn't do)

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Obama Care as a tax, saying Congress (Democrats had both the House and Senate when the Act was passed) has the power to impose taxes.  Below, in 2009, President Obama strongly denied that the Obama Care was a tax.

A Column by Jacqueline Klingebiel

Sept 20, 2009 9:00am

The interview below took place on the ABC News between President Obama and George Stephanopoulos:

"President Obama signaled in our interview that he was prepared to address some of the concerns raised by key Senator Jay Rockefeller, who called the Baucus bill a “big middle class tax increase” this week. That means he’ll support more subsidies for middle class families.

But in our most spirited exchange, the President refused to accept the argument that a mandate to buy health insurance is equivalent to a tax. Here it is:

STEPHANOPOULOS:  You were against the individual mandate…
OBAMA:  Yes.
STEPHANOPOULOS:  …during the campaign.  Under this mandate, the government is forcing people to spend money, fining you if you don’t. How is that not a tax?
OBAMA:  Well, hold on a second, George. Here — here’s what’s happening.  You and I are both paying $900, on average — our families — in higher premiums because of uncompensated care.  Now what I’ve said is that if you can’t afford health insurance, you certainly shouldn’t be punished for that.  That’s just piling on. If, on the other hand, we’re giving tax credits, we’ve set up an exchange, you are now part of a big pool, we’ve driven down the costs, we’ve done everything we can and you actually can afford health insurance, but you’ve just decided, you know what, I want to take my chances.  And then you get hit by a bus and you and I have to pay for the emergency room care, that’s…
STEPHANOPOULOS:  That may be, but it’s still a tax increase.
OBAMA:  No.  That’s not true, George.  The — for us to say that you’ve got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase.  What it’s saying is, is that we’re not going to have other people carrying your burdens for you anymore than the fact that right now everybody in America, just about, has to get auto insurance. Nobody considers that a tax increase. People say to themselves, that is a fair way to make sure that if you hit my car, that I’m not covering all the costs.
STEPHANOPOULOS:  But it may be fair, it may be good public policy…
OBAMA:  No, but — but, George, you — you can’t just make up that language and decide that that’s called a tax increase.  Any…
STEPHANOPOULOS:  Here’s the…
OBAMA:  What — what — if I — if I say that right now your premiums are going to be going up by 5 or 8 or 10 percent next year and you say well, that’s not a tax increase; but, on the other hand, if I say that I don’t want to have to pay for you not carrying coverage even after I give you tax credits that make it affordable, then…
STEPHANOPOULOS:  I — I don’t think I’m making it up. Merriam Webster’s Dictionary: Tax — “a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes.”
OBAMA:  George, the fact that you looked up Merriam’s Dictionary, the definition of tax increase, indicates to me that you’re stretching a little bit right now.  Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to the dictionary to check on the definition.  I mean what…
STEPHANOPOULOS:  Well, no, but…
OBAMA:  …what you’re saying is…
STEPHANOPOULOS:  I wanted to check for myself.  But your critics say it is a tax increase.
OBAMA:  My critics say everything is a tax increase.  My critics say that I’m taking over every sector of the economy.  You know that. Look, we can have a legitimate debate about whether or not we’re going to have an individual mandate or not, but…
STEPHANOPOULOS:  But you reject that it’s a tax increase?
OBAMA:  I absolutely reject that notion."

On The Plate Today: Obama, Citizen of the World

It is the duty of the President of the United States to PROTECT this country's borders.

Mr. Obama has made it clear that protecting America's borders means nothing to him.  He does not care about protecting this country from illegal invasion. He outright refuses to. He is a globalist leading "FORWARD LEANING" liberals who dream of one worldism.

I did not vote for the man because I knew he would betray my country in the end.

On The Plate Today: Obama Sends Congratulations To America's Enemies!

The enemies of American ideals are coming to power all over the world, and President Obama congratulates them wholeheartedly.

A socialist wins in France, and immediately, he's invited to the White House to get kudos from Mr. Obama; and, now the so-called "Muslim Brotherhood" has risen in Egypt, and our President sends him hearty congratulations.

This is a disaster for America, France, Egypt, and Israel;  But, our President has made it clear where he stands on America and Israel, now hasn't he?

On The Plate Today:  Sigh, They're Blaming Bush, Again

The gun-running operation of the Obama Administration, which began in 2009 and which led to the death of many in Mexico, and the murder of an American border patrol officer is being blamed on former President George W. Bush, who left office in January 2008.

Read the report in National Review Online on this newest blame game of the Obama Administration by clicking  BLAME.

On The Plate Today:  One Heckle Is As Good As the Next

Today, while President Obama was declaring an amnesty of sorts for certain illegal immigrants at a news conference, a reporter interrupted him by asking a very legitimate question about the President's new policy (he probably figured that since the President has not asked for questions lately, he would ask a question). The liberal news media got up in arms about the interruption.

The question the media is asking is, if the President were white (they just have to bring race into it), would he have been "heckled" like that?

How soon they forget the treatment white George W. Bush suffered, and continues to suffer at their cold, biased hands.

On The Plate Today: Perfect Liars

Whenever the Democrats have control of Congress - the House and the Senate, we have higher taxes and economic decline.  Whenever the Republicans have full control of Congress, there is an economic uptick.

During Democrat President Clinton's last six years in office, Republicans had control of both houses of Congress, and the economy was roaring because of less taxes and a balanced budget.  Clinton had no choice but to go along with their conservative policies in the weakened state he was in.

During the last two years of President Bush's tenure, Democrats were in control of both houses of Congress.  Spending increased and the economy declined.  Bush had no choice but to go along with their liberal policies, including raising taxes in the weakened state he was in.

Watch what the Democrats do:  They extol Clinton for a great economy during his tenor, even though he  reluctantly signed in conservative legislation which led to a boom; and, they criticize Bush for a poor economy, even though he reluctantly went along with their liberal legislation, which led to decline.

The lies told by the Democrats are perfect, especially if you are not paying attention.

On The Plate Today: Many Contribute To Their Own Poverty

When time after time a people vote blindly for a party that promises them free money and free this and that, they're begging to be poor and dependent.

Look at the inner cities of America, They vote in mass for democrats and are increasingly poor. They don't see the correlation.

They don't understand that when you want to be dependent, you will be dependent; And, that socialism leads to the poverty of the masses. You can see this is true worldwide.
