Being a political commentator entails many things. It means being up to speed on the widest variety of issues. It means putting yourself out there as a target. It means having passion and the courage of your convictions.

It means offering your opinions and analysis to the choir and the angry mob.

Sometimes, it means putting something out there that won’t make you popular with the choir. This may well be one of those times but, if you read through the entire piece, you’ll see where I’m coming from.

Obamacare is currently being heard as a case before the Supreme Court . As of this writing, 1 day down, 2 to go. What conservatives want the most could well be the worst thing for this nation.

Let me put that another way.

What LIBERALS want the most, could be the BEST thing for this nation.

Oh boy…is it getting hot in here or is it just me?

Yes, I am a card carrying conservative. A Reagan shining-city-on-a-hill guy. I bleed Red, White and Blue. I loathe the liberal/socialist mindset and ideology.

What the liberals want the most, a Supreme Court triumph, holding Obamacare to be constitutional, could well be…Oh man…Could well be the best thing for this nation.

To understand this seemingly absurd statement, you will HAVE to stay with me and I promise, I’ll make it worth your while.

To “get it” you first have to examine what happens if Obamacare is found UN-constitutional.

Should that be the case, the individual mandate would be rendered null and void. Sans the mandate, Obamacare would lack both teeth and funding. Without teeth or funding, the rest of Obamacare would whither on the vine.

Should Obamacare be found UN-constitutional, Obama’s only legislative triumph would be rendered out the door…Gone…relegated to the trash heap of political agenda.

If Obamacare IS found UN-constitutional, the Constitution, at least in part, is saved, government overreach is at least, in part, averted and we get government, at least in part, out of our pockets.

So…What’s the downside? How, in my daftness, could I see this as a bad thing?

Hmmm…Well, to answer THAT question, we have to look at what happens if Obamacare is found…CONSTITUTIONAL.

If Obamacare IS found…CONSTITUTIONAL…Obama wins. His hallmark legislation is legal and there will be no end to the gloating.

If Obamacare is found…CONSTITUTIONAL…another part of the Constitution falls.

Should Obamacare be found…CONSTITUTIONAL…government will be able to mandate anything they desire.

IF Obamacare IS found…CONSTITUTIONAL…Government gets deeper and deeper into our pockets AND our lives.

And I’m saying THIS might be the BEST thing for this nation???

Do what I do each and every day. Step back. Further back. A little more. Look at the picture…The big picture…Step back until you can see the WHOLE picture.

Okay? Ready? Here we go.

Answer this question honestly.

What is more important? Defeating Obamacare in the Supreme Court or…Defeating Obama in November?

Both? How did I know you were going to say both? Fair enough. Now…Take “BOTH” out of the possible answers and take another swing at the question above.

Suddenly, it’s a much tougher question now, isn’t it?

Whoever LOSES in this Supreme Court showdown is going to be GALVANIZED come November. GALVANIZED.

If conservatives LOSE in the Supreme Court on Obamacare…conservatives will be GALVANIZED in November. Such galvanization would all but ensure a Republican president will be elected in November. It would also almost ensure that conservatives would not only keep the House but retake the Senate.

IF conservatives take the House…the Senate…AND the White House in November…it would be a 100% guarantee that Obamacare would be repealed within HOURS of the swearing in ceremonies next January.

If Obamacare IS found…CONSTITUTIONAL…conservatives will be running to the polls like turpentined cats with their HAIR ON FIRE in November.

On the other hand…

Should Obamacare be found UN-constitutional…LIBERALS will galvanize. If you are thinking this is going to be THE most contentious, dirty, no-holds-barred election in history…You haven’t even scratched the surface should liberals lose the Obamacare case in the Supreme Court.

Getting the picture?

Now then, allow ME to answer the question. Which would I rather have? A defeat of Obamacare in the Supreme Court or a defeat of Obama in November?

Both.

Yes…BOTH and that is the exact point of this article.

This is a warning. This is NOT a drill. We, as conservatives must have BOTH a defeat of Obamacare at the Supreme Court AND a defeat of Obama in November.

Defeating Obamacare in the Supreme Court would strike a blow FOR the Constitution and in FAVOR of less government intrusion into the lives of Americans. It would bolster the views of the framers and strengthen the ideal of limited government.

Defeating Obama in November would strike a crushing blow against the liberal socialist ideology but it can’t be limited to just THAT.

We, as conservatives, MUST hold the House AND take the Senate as well. We MUST.

Defeating Obamacare in the Supreme Court means the defeat of the individual mandate which, in effect, leaves Obamacare on life support but not dead. To kill it we must REPEAL the rest of it and THAT can only be accomplished by an election SWEEP.

IF we, as conservatives WIN at the Supreme Court, we must NOT let down our guard, must NOT let up on our pressure against the liberal/socialist candidates and MUST campaign, register and vote with the same sense of fervor we would employ if we LOSE at the Supreme Court.

What we, as conservatives, did in the 2010 midterm elections, we MUST do again in November of 2012. Anyone with a wood shop will tell you that 3 coats of shellack are much better than 1.

We cannot sit on the sidelines if we win in the Supreme Court because or individual GOP candidate of choice didn’t get the nomination. We MUST not, for even a second, if we find victory in the Supreme Court against Obamacare, allow ourselves to believe it’s all downhill from there.

I believe our duty to defeat Obama in November would be easier by means of instinct should Obamacare win the day at the Supreme Court; but conservatives today, like those who founded this great nation, must NOT take the path of least resistance. We must be ready and willing to FIGHT for our nation’s future.

Now do you see it?
