Dennis is quite the stalker. That’s for sure.

What? You want me to come over to your place to give you a spanking?

Say “pretty please” Mr. Tea.

So “lost my taste for debate” is already inoperative? I can’t keep up, Mr. Tea.

I think we’ve come full circle now. When I offered a comment on OWs post (and your loony reaction to it) you decided you wanted to discuss Constitutional issues. When commenters answered you on that score, you suddenly “lost your taste for debate.”

And now you’re back to wondering why no one takes your point seriously?

Go away.

Quaker, you wanna discuss my article with me, feel free to discuss it on my article. Here, I’d rather hear someone defend Master Economist Willis’ plan to cover health insurance on “a few cents on your pay stub.”

That’s downright hysterical.

It’s like a freakin’ hall of mirrors.

Lol. That’s pretty good, too, Quibs. Not as good as Jay Tea’s, but quite witty. Touche.

Oh, yeah, I did.

So I got banned. No big deal. But when Mr Tea claimed here that you “have to really really work at it,” I decided to, you know, call bullshit.

Oliver’s is the only site I know of with such a tolerant policy. You could never get away with dissing Mr Tea’s boss like you do Oliver.

Sorry to veer off-topic. Please carry on.

Hilarious. Jay Tea, you truly are one of the internet’s great morons.

Dennis trolls on behalf of another troll by reposting an earlier post accusing someone of trolling on behalf of the site’s host.

It’s like a freakin’ hall of mirrors.

I see. First it’s “Why won’t anyone debate me?” Then it’s “I want to change the subject!” Now it’s “I’ve lost my taste for debate.”

Go away, Mr. Tea. Go back to WhizBag and tell your little friends how much smarter you are than everyone else. Anyone undiscriminating enough to visit there might actually believe you.

Which explains why you’re here. Somehow.

He’s here because the blog owner called him out- out of the blue, Indeed.

Of all the stupid comments you make, that one is close to being the all-time stupidest.

Jay Tea, I hope you don’t mind me reposting one of your best posts ever here, of which there are many:

“Indeed” is a true rara avis — a unique specimen of troll. He trolls on the side of the site’s owner. I don’t think I’ve ever seen his like.

I think I could have died content had I not seen it, though…

Pig stupid is no way to go through life, Mr. Tea.

You’re engaging in one of your favorite dodges here–telling only half the story. What’s the other half of the “demand that every individual buy health insurance” part of the reform plan, hm?

I don’t have the patience today to try to drag it out of you, so I’ll answer my own question. The other half is: “or pay a tax.” Under the reform plan you can a) buy health insurance or b) pay a tax. The Constitution grants Congress the authority to levy taxes–and to grant exemptions from taxes.

Unless you’d rather just take it personally.

Awesome.

So you know the answer before you asked your question? Instead of proceeding straight into the the typical conservative claptrap you just regurgitated?

Jay Tea, if the mandatory coverage requirement becomes law, it will probably be challenged in court and the Supreme Court will probably end up hearing many different arguments about what the commerce clause will and will not allow.

Would you like to have that debate now in this thread? Because I’m game if you are.

But you’re going to have to do lot better than citing the clause and going “nyah, nyah, nyah.”

You’re going to have to actually do some homework and present an argument with supporting legal decisions etc. etc.

Do you think you can do that?

Article I, Section 8, Clause 3:

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

To stretch it like you cite is a violation of the 9th Amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Demanding that every individual buy health insurance is NOT spelled out in the Constitution — not even in the “penumbras.”

How did I know you’d run to the Interstate Commerce clause? Oh, yeah, because that’s the default for all the big government types.
