Dhimmitude and Obamacare

Dhimmitude and Obamacare

The origin of the quotation, “That government is best which governs least,” generally attributed to Thomas Jefferson but which first appeared in Thoreau’s “Civil Disobedience,” is of less significance than its import.

Nowhere is that import more significant than it relates to the 2010 passage of the mislabeled Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, PPACA, Obamacare, and no legislation in American history has ever demonstrated our government’s efforts to foist upon the American people rules and regulations which are not only repugnant to our national culture and traditions but, perhaps worst of all, are subversive.

That said, much has been written about PPACA and the contents of its 2,409 pages but only lately has attention has been paid to an alleged feature, its inclusion of a reference to dhimmitude.

According to Wikipedia, “Dhimmitude is a neologism . . . denoting an attitude of concession, surrender and appeasement towards Islamic demands [which] literally means protected and refers to a non-Muslim subject of a sharia law state.”

What makes dhimmitude relevant is that there are reports that the word and the concept are incorporated in PPACA along with Obamacare exemptions and exceptions for Muslims on page 107 of the law. (See below for that page in its entirety and see http://bit.ly/hRakSK and http://bit.ly/cBE7rd.)

In point of fact, it turns out that it’s a hoax, an urban legend perpetrated by some overly-zealous, overly-imaginative Obamacare opponent who, for reasons of his own–and possibly driven to the brink of madness by the true catastrophe that is PPACA–fabricated the whole scam. . .
