    In the unlikely event that the Supreme Court allows the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate to survive, be prepared for an onslaught of new rules and regulations that force products upon us. With an unfettered Commerce Clause, the following list will just be the beginning.

    1. Broccoli:

    Justice Antonin Scalia advanced the prospect of government-mandated broccoli during the Supreme Court’s Obamacare oral arguments. “Everyone has to buy food sooner or later, so you define the market as food, therefore, everybody is in the market; therefore, you can make people buy broccoli,” Scalia said. The left has long been obsessed with what we put into our bodies--from trans-fat and salt, to tobacco and red meat. Be prepared for a Department of Eating Healthily, with Michelle Obama in charge.

    2. Chevy Volt:

    General Motors’ Chevy Volt was doomed to fail as consumers did not exactly flock to the showrooms for the overpriced, under-performing vehicle. Production of the Volt has been suspended and the dream of an electric car is endangered. According to the left, oil is evil, therefore the internal combustion engine must go. So be prepared to plug in your government-mandated electric car in order to save the world from global warming.

    3. $5 gallon gas:

    With Obama placing a good part of America’s energy resources off-limits for development, the price of gas at the pump continues to rise. The higher the better, in order to wean us from our dependence on oil. It shouldn’t be a surprise to see prices rise under this president, as he essentially promised higher energy costs when he was running for office.

    4. Contraceptives:

    Under Obamacare, everyone will be paying for contraceptives whether they need them or not. The misnamed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandated that contraception be fully covered by healthcare exchanges, not even costing the recipient a co-pay. That means you will be subsidizing the sexual activity of your neighbors, co-workers, and prostitutes.

    5. Inconvenient Truth movie:

    The left still wants us all to believe that global warming is imperiling the world and would rather not have us dwell on inconvenient inconsistencies in the theory. What with Climategate e-mails, flat temperatures, and scientists speaking out against global warming alarmism, the left is seeing their pet issue peter out. How better to reignite the cause than to require everyone to watch Algore’s Inconvenient Truth?

    6. MSNBC:

    The Obama administration has virtually declared war on Fox News, taking issue with its hard-hitting coverage. In the past, liberals have flirted with reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, hoping to silence right-wing critics. If emboldened by an Obama reelection victory, attempts to limit Fox and beam MSNBC into everyone’s home could be in the works.

    7. Solar Panels:

    President Obama is trying his hardest to develop a viable green-energy industry in the United States, funneling billions of dollars to solar-panel makers. The problem is that there isn’t much of a market for the devices and the companies that the president has chosen haven’t done too well-witness the bankruptcy of Solyndra. Get ready for a new push to install the panels in residences throughout America.

    8. Union-label goods

    Big Labor has Obama in their pocket, witness the GM bailout that was a sweetheart deal for the United Auto Workers and the National Labor Relations Board’s ruling against Boeing building a plant in South Carolina. Expect more of the same with union-made goods getting a leg up over their non-union rivals.

    9. Algae:

    Here is yet another ill-fated idea meant to put an end to U.S. oil dependence: Algae is the fuel of the future. According to President Obama, pond-scum can be harvested and turned into energy to power America, Soon, everyone will be scrapping the bottom of their fish tanks.

    10. Hoodies:

    As the Trayvon Martin shooting reached a boiling point, the civil rights lobby has turned the hoodie into the latest symbol of resistance to white oppression. One might expect the president to try to rise above the fray and seek to heal the nation. Instead, Obama’s re-election campaign sent a Twitter message reminding supporters that they could buy an Obama hoodie. The tweet said, “Let everyone know whose team you’re on for 2012 with today’s merchandise steal: the college-style hooded sweatshirt.”

    It will be difficult to 'force' these things on us....unless they're free. 4 more years of Obama, we'll all be too poor to afford any of those luxuries.

    Why you thanking Rush for all these new laws and policies that will surely force the American people to stomach under this socialist obama administration? I take it you would be happy by paying for these socialist run policies?

    I'm thanking him for the biased, distorted propaganda we've come to expect from the right wing media.

    BTW, why would pass this post off as if you wrote it?

    Should be fun. Slow day. Got some time to kill.

    I don't think the government will attempt to force everyone to eat broccoli. Unless the government is Richard Simmons. Then, maybe. Otherwise, probably not.

    Oil isn't evil, it's just problematic and dwindling. According to you guys, oil is somewhere in sacred cowness between a fetus and a corporation, it'll never run out, and you can just drive on fumes when it becomes too expensive to burn.

    Higher energy costs are inevitable if oil-alternatives aren't used.

    I like Obamacare a little more now than I did before you said that.

    It was a good movie.

    I don't think the government will beam MSNBC into everyone's home. Unless you mean literally, with satellite dishes, and that's not the government, that's some corporation, and they do that with all the other channels, too, so I guess I'm just not understanding your point?

    Good. Why would this be bad? This an example of something that should be done by the portion of the economy that doesn't need to make a profit and is spent by democratically-appointed representation. We can't expect private companies to do something there's no profit in yet. Once the heavy-lifting is done, rich people will then show up to make the money, I'm sure.

    Good. As long as it isn't a legal matter. If the government forces people to buy union goods, that's wrong. But if people choose to buy union goods of their own free will -- and they do, when given the opportunity, in spite of the republicans' tireless efforts to disparage the bargaining representatives of the working class -- then that's a good thing.

    I wish! But why would you be against this?

    Perhaps everyone should stop wearing suits, too! I'd love it.
