Two thousand and twelve is now upon us, and one thing is clear: It will be a nation-defining year.

No prior administration has sought to consolidate as much power, money, and control in Washington as this one has — and no legislation in all of American history has consolidated as much power, money, and control in Washington as Obamacare would (if it isn’t repealed first).  President Obama talks a lot, in disparaging terms, about the “profit motive.”  But Obamacare’s astounding 2,700 pages of rules, mandates, and regulations is the fulfillment of the power motive — of the desire to control the lives and actions of 300 million people from the nation’s capital.
