Yes- They do in fact have "their own minds". That is why they are not liberals and reject your far left views.

What part of that do you not understand?

Do you know what else was "the law of the land" and "upheld by the Supreme Court", Slavery, and Segregation, now if you support Obamacare, that's fine but its not an acceptable to say, it's the law, so deal with it.

Something you pay for with every paycheck can hardly be considered socialist.

You obviously don't understand government.

The power of the purse plays a critical role in the relationship of the United States Congress and the President of the United States, and has been the main historic tool by which Congress can limit executive power.

The power of the purse is the ability of one group to manipulate and control the actions of another group by withholding funding, or putting stipulations on the use of funds.

I think the intolerance and militant attitude smacks of the Taliban, for sure.

It is all a matter of degree. Thankfully, they have not resorted to such measures yet. It is a slippery slope and a giant step backwards to the mentality of the Middle Ages. Where if someone disagreed with you, you could kill them, enslave them,or whatever. The American democratic model is built on the assumption that not all people will agree. Therefore, you need to respect a variety of views, and hope that good sense will prevail. Ideological zealots are the enemy of our way of life, which is based on the rational consensus that informed peoples will make reasonable decisions most of the time.
