How about copies of "Mein Kampf" in the school library, in the name of freedom on information?

Obesity should be taxed very heavily
If you are determined to be overweight you should be taxed
Democrats like pussy and brag about it, Republicans like pussy and lie about it.
"They also Ruled the Fed can not Threaten to take away states Existing Federal Funding to Force them to Comply with federal policy."So, now that a precedent has been set (with the SCOTUS upholding the individual mandate in Obamacare as a constitutional tax) that the federal government can require us to purchase something and tax us if we refuse, what else do you think they should require us to purchase?
I don't think you Grasp the Ruling yet.
The Ruling actually just seriously Curtailed the Congresses Power under the Commerce act.
They ruled it has to be a Tax, Because the Government can not force you to buy something with a Penalty.
So however upset people might be about this ruling. It's not a slam dunk win for Obama by any stretch. It effective Limits the Power of the Government under the Commerce clause, and Forces Obama to Admit what he sold as not a tax increase is a Tax Increase.
They also Ruled the Fed can not Threaten to take away states Existing Federal Funding to Force them to Comply with federal policy.
Meaning they can take away their new money they would have got from this bill, but not all their Medicade Funding like they Threatened.
Meaning things like they did back when they tried to Force all states to Comply with a Federal Speed limit, By threatening to take away their Highway Funding, Was not legal, and was in Fact an Abuse of Federal Power.
Not to mention this Ruling is Sure to Seriously Fire up the Opposition to Obama in NOV.
As a Conservative and Constitutionalists I am Satisfied with this Ruling. Roberts got it dead right. Yes, the Mandate can stand, But not on the Grounds the WH argued. They argued it was not a tax increase, The Court ruled it is only Legal if it is a Tax. By extension they have said the Federal Government can NOT use the Commerce clause to Force you to Buy anything. Because to do that is not Regulating Commerce it's Creating it. The only way they can do it, is by Taxes.
So never again will they be able to Ram anything like this Through, By Lying and claiming it is not a Tax Increase. Period.
To sum it up, This Ruling might look good For Obama in the Short Run, But I don't think it's going to help him in NOV one bit. 60% were against this Bill, now they are just more Pissed off and Intent on sending it's Creator home from the WH. Now He has to go out and Defend what Amounts to a Huge Tax Increase a Big part of Which hits the Middle class hard.
So congress cannot remove funding to force moral issues on a state like anti abortions or gay marriage, etc?
It is now possible for your energy usage to be restricted unless you are purchasing your energy from acceptable sources. It is in the best interest of everyone that coal plants be shut down and that you get your energy from solar, wind, and hydro. If these sources of energy are scarce in your area, you will have to be rationed. Why should everyone have to suffer because you want to purchase the wrong kind of energy.
Only approved energy will be allowed.
This will restrict your access to information that is contradictory to the official party line.

Only if they stand up in front of us all and Admit they are Raising Taxes to do it.
What everyone seems to fail to grasp is that with the one ruling, government has been handed unlimited power to control your life and your actions. You are no longer safe from your government, nor are you free to defy your government. This country has been fundamentally altered and we no longer have freedom.

You clearly did not read the Ruling at all.
