Dhimmitude; What does it mean?
Obama used it in the health care bill!
Now isn't this interesting? It was used in the health care law.
Every day there's another revelation of what Obama and his fellow Democrats are doing to our country.
Dhimmitude -- I had never heard the word until now.
HOWEVER - NO - not only is dhimmitude not mentioned in the healthcare reform law (Affordable Care Act) - but it has nothing to do with healthcare reform or President Obama at all.

For those who would like to read it, Snopes has covered this topic, with a "Mixed" rating (meaning kinda true, kinda not).

You should probably read the bill and check if it is actually there first before believing chain emails.

The word is never in the bill. It does allow exemption for religious people if they don't want in. Like Amish people...edit on 20-2-2012 by RealSpoke because: (no reason given)

The word Dhimmitude is NOT in there. I just posted the health care bills. Stop spreading dis-info.
Your OP is from a chain email that is FALSE.

I just the health care bills in my initial post. Click on the link, then go to page 107.. it isn't that hard

I'm guessing you're a troll. The word is never used in the healthcare bill, nor is anything about muslims.
Why would you make a thread on a topic you didn't even check? Embarassing

How many laws are there Revolution9?
Are they required learning in schools?
Are you or I going to live long enough to learn the number of mandatory expectations that exist within our lifetime?
Does your favorite Republican candidates know the number of laws that exist, and what they all are?
If we locked all the current law makers up in a big nice plush hotel/resort and did not let them out until they collectively wrote down word for word all the current laws that exist from their memory, do you think they would live long enough to complete the task?
Not going to live long enough to learn the existing mandatory expectations you have to conform to in order to be a law abiding citizen?
Those laws are not required learning for citizens?
Solution: Vote to empower more law makers to make more laws and pay them with money we cannot afford to pay them to do it.
Seems totally logical.
How many laws there, specifically? Neither Google or the internet seems to know, either
Since we posted our article, we’ve obtained a list through the Freedom of Information Act of all the groups that have successfully applied for exemptions from payroll taxes. (We have posted the Excel file here.) The overwhelming majority of them are explicitly Anabaptist — that is, Mennonite, Amish or Hutterite. Those that don’t specify their denomination are still explicitly Christian. Having gone through the list, we can say with certainty that no Muslim group, and indeed no non-Christian group, has ever qualified for an exemption under the statute used to define exempt religious groups in the health care law.
