Where did the order aimed at Humana come from? Not directly from the President but from his administration and when that happens we tend to say that it came from him. If that is unfair he should have allowed his enemies to appoint all his officials.

If you can't see the rights of the company to say what CBO is saying actually takes away their right to free speech I think that you may be a fifth grader, and we both know that is not the case.

Yeah, I'm feeling literal today usually do.

The title of the thread is Obama Throws out First Amendment Free Speech Clause .

So, did he throw out the First Amendment or didn't he?

Attack what was written?

How about you show me anything in any health care proposal, from Obama or anyone else, that is remotely like "I own you and everything you are"?

How about you show me anything in the communication to Humana that threatens to shut down or imprison anyone who opposes health care reform?

Then we can talk.

Thus, I stand by my statement: American liberals should be embarrassed that even our northerly neighbors can see the writing on the wall, even though its obvious that the libs in question apparently cannot.
The article is written by an AMERICAN.

Take a look at the authors of all of the other articles too, a quick google will tell you their nationality.

The person who wrote that article needs to go back and finish high school. It was very poorly written.

Chango - Thanks for the review. I won't bother reading what is apparently very poor propaganda.

perhaps that's why the "message" was lost on me. I have low tolerance for bad writing, especially if it's supposed to be "professional"

On the contrary a Federal Court just defended Fox News First Amendment Right to lie to it's audience.

I'm surprised by how many people don't even bother to look into the facts.
