Extortion?
   
Once you agree with the extortionist, he owns you. He will not stop. Things will not get better. They will get worse. You have to stand up to these criminals. Or you will pay a much higher price in the future. We should have separated the unemployment benefits from the taxcuts and fought like hell every day until we got help for these people. It would have been a PR nightmare for the Republicans.

But it appears the Democrats are about to submit to the requests of the extortionists. We are paying a deep price for this decision.

DUmmie Fail.  Politics have always been about negotiations.  Blackmail is what the left has done to corporations.

Predictable typical liberal projection. Nobody ever lost a nickel betting with it.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Extortion is a great word for it. I'm expecting my 2010 extortion forms in 3 weeks or so.
All I can say is I'm glad they give me until mid April to pay the blackmailers.

The use, or the express or implicit threat of the use, of violence or other criminal means to cause harm to person, reputation, or property as a means to obtain property from someone else with his consent. USC 18

The Hobbs Act defines "extortion" as "the obtaining of property from another, with his consent, induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear, or under color of official right." 18 U.S.C. S 1951(b)(2).

If you don't agree with Obama you're a racist.

If you aren't an environmentalist you will be regulated, not by law, but by EPA fiat.

If you don't want government health care you hate the poor.

If you are pro-life you want to kill women.

If you are anti-gay marriage you are the legal equivalent of domestic terrorists.
