Would Have Been Good To Know
Mar 14, 2014 Obamacare
If Obama had not lied and had said this in the beginning it would have been much better. In other words, this would have been good to know (though many of us knew it).
“For the average person, many folks who don’t have health insurance initially, they’re going to have to make some choices. And they might end up having to switch doctors, in part because they’re saving money,” said Obama in an interview with the medical website WebMD. The Weekly Standard
[note]No one is saving any money. It is costing way more than it was sold for…[/note]
But he could not say this then because it would never have passed. He needs to say so now because an election looms in the near future and his party might take a beating for Obamacare.
See, if he had listened to the sane among us we would not have this failure of a health care law and his party might be doing better.
Here is my word to the Democrats running for reelection:
If you like your elected position you can keep your elected position, period…..
I hope many of you lose your jobs.
Though you still have hope because of the low information voters who need to be led around by their noses.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Looks Like Arianna Had The Wrong Person
Mar 5, 2014 Political
Arianna Huffington of the Huffington (and Puffington) Post tweeted something about Mitt Romney in August of 2012. She said:
So I guess if Romney is elected we can get ready for a new cold war with Russia #justwhatweneed Twitchy
Well we all know that Mitt Romney did not win the election but we are now seeing that he, like Sarah Palin four years prior, was absolutely correct about Russia. Huffington was worried that Romney, who Obama described as living with a cold war mentality, would put us right back in a cold war with Russia.
She appears to have had the wrong candidate when she tweeted her snarky message. As everyone knows Romney did not win BUT we are now entering another cold war with Russia.
Not because of Romney as Huffington had suggested but because the Imperial Leader B. Hussein Obama is a weak leader. He is the laughing stock of the world and his weakness has emboldened Russia’s leader. Romney was correct when he described Russia and Palin was right when she said Obama’s weakness would lead to Russia invading Ukraine.
Arianna, on the other hand, was right in her assessment but wrong about which candidate would cause the problem.
She had the hash tag “justwhatweneed” and it looks like we got it.
Though she was being sarcastic her sarcasm had a way of proving correct in outcome.
She just got the candidate wrong.
Barack Obama’s weakness has emboldened Russia, tensions are high and the new cold war might well be around the next corner.
I agree with Arianna on this point:
Just what we need…
Cave canem!

Running With A Boot In His Rear
Mar 3, 2014 Commentary, Political
Barack Obama and Joe Biden were recorded jogging around the White House in their dress shoes with shirts and ties in place. This was all in support of Moochelle’s Let’s Move campaign. It is not as if Obama has anything better to do and with the weather so lousy the golf courses are closed. So I guess jogging around in business attire was the best he could do.
With the world now a powder keg and Obama having been outed as weak he might be practicing for when he has to run and hide.
Russia is invading Ukraine just like Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney said it would. You remember this, right? Palin was mocked and Romney was told that he was still living with a Cold War mentality.
But then again, Obama gave Russia a “reset” button which while childish did accomplish a reset. We have been reset to the Cold War Obama roundly mocked.
I give Obama a lot of credit for running around with Biden. He handled a tough thing.
No, running in his business clothes was not the tough thing.
Running with Putin’s boot up his anal cavity must have been pretty tough to accomplish.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obama And Fighting Old Battles
Jan 29, 2014 Obamacare, Second Amendment
During the State of The Union Address last night Imperial Leader B. Hussein Obama misstated the truth, fudged figures and told outright lies. He pulled out some of the old plays in trying to appeal to Americans who can either trust Obama or what their eyes see. On the subject of Obamacare he had this to say:
I don’t expect to convince my Republican friends on the merits of this law,” he said. “But I know that the American people aren’t interested in refighting old battles… Politico
Obama wants us to believe that a new law that is just being implemented is an old battle and he wants us to believe that Americans don’t want us to fight the battle. The reality is that nearly 65% of Americans do not like the law, millions have been dropped out of perfectly good insurance, millions more have been added to Medicaid and the law is costing way more than advertised. It is also true that Obama lied about the number of people signing up and that many of those who have enrolled are the ones who had their insurance cancelled because of the law. Couple this with the fact that few of the young are signing up and it is easy to see that disaster is looming.
We can beat the Obamacare horse to death but Obama and his toadies will keep pushing it. The only way to let them know how we feel is to get rid of every politician who voted for it.
But something else was quite interesting in the Obama lie fest last night. While Obama was telling members of Congress and the American people that he is an Imperial Leader who will legislate via his pen and Executive Orders he mentioned gun control. He plans on doing what he wants via EO and against the Constitution.
Citizenship means standing up for the lives that gun violence steals from us each day. I have seen the courage of parents, students, pastors, and police officers all over this country who say “we are not afraid,” and I intend to keep trying, with or without Congress, to help stop more tragedies from visiting innocent Americans in our movie theaters, shopping malls, or schools like Sandy Hook. Guns Save Lives
If Barack Obama truly believes that Americans do not want to fight old battles then he should give up his fight to infringe on our right to keep and bear arms. That battle was fought and settled a little over 222 years ago (15 December 1791) when the Second Amendment was adopted as part of the Bill of Rights (the Bill of INDIVIDUAL Rights). That certainly qualifies as an old battle. A battle which was not only won but resulted in a right protected by inclusion in our Constitution which, as the alleged Constitutional Law professor should know, is the Supreme Law of the Land.
Obama wants you to believe that a four year old law that is still being implemented is old news, an old battle that Americans do not want to fight. At the same time he expects you to believe that firearms ownership is some new thing and that the battle over it must be fought. I have to believe that Obama knows better but he is a socialist and he knows that an armed society is a free society and he cannot tolerate freedom for the serfs. He can’t get away with imposing his will on us if we are able to resist the tyranny. He needs to make it as tough as possible (he would prefer total disarming) because he needs to be able to CONTROL us. Gun control is not about guns, it is about control.
No Executive order and no law will stop gun related violence because people who use guns to commit violence DO NOT OBEY THE LAW. If banning something or making it harder to get worked then we would not have a problem with people using heroin in this country.
Obama makes that case himself without even realizing it. In the quote above he said that things needed to be done to stop more tragedies in movie theaters, shopping malls and schools. ALL of the places he mentioned are gun free zones. People are not allowed BY LAW to have guns there.
If gun control laws worked then no shootings would take place at these places BUT BAD GUYS DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAW.
In fact, these kinds of laws make it easier for criminals because they know that only law abiding people will follow the law and that there will be no armed opposition. You know I am right on this and you know that Obama is wrong.
Obama’s hometown of Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation and people get shot there all the time. Maryland enacted tough gun laws last year and one person a day has been shot in Baltimore since the first of the year.
Gun control does not work and we will not stand for it.
We settled that issue 222 years ago after fighting the tyranny of our overlords.
That battle is old and the issue is settled. The last thing Obama wants or needs is to start a new battle on this issue.
[note]Obama mentioned guns once in his SOTU. He mentioned them a lot in last year’s SOTU. This is an election year and Democrats do not want to be saddled with a gun control fight when they know it is a losing issue for them. Obama is not up for reelection so he can push his Executive Orders while giving Democrats cover. He is also using EOs because he can’t get Congress to agree even when it is NOT an election year.[/note]
There are far too many armed citizens who will do what Obama and most other politicians refuse to do.
PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

Can’t Spell POTUS Without POT
Jan 20, 2014 Commentary, Political
Barack Obama has suddenly become a health expert on marijuana, tobacco and alcohol. I guess Obama thinks that smoking weed, using coke, smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol makes him an expert on the subject.
I have made my position known in the past. Instead of spending billions to fight this drug we should legalize it and tax the hell out of it (say 40-50%) in order to increase revenue. The revenue (as well as the savings from the war on drugs) could be used to pay the debt and lower our income taxes. The real problem will be getting government to actually use the tax money to pay bills instead of using it to make more bills. It will also eventually lead to government declaring marijuana a right and that some folks can’t afford it so it needs to be subsidized. They will give away pot with Obamaphones. I would never use it so the issue will not affect me as long as government does not decide to use my tax dollars for pot related items.
Back to Barack. He wants marijuana made legal and he is out talking now about how it is no more dangerous than alcohol. Obama said that it is well known he smoked pot as a teen and that he viewed it no differently from smoking tobacco. Hey genius, tobacco does not cause one to get high. It does not impair one’s ability to do things.
So Barry said he does not think marijuana is any more dangerous than alcohol. That is likely true but we have quantitative methods to determine if a person is impaired by alcohol. How would we do that for marijuana when THC stays in the system for sometime and the levels stay high with repeated use? The person is not intoxicated but the levels are high so how do we measure? If we make marijuana legal there needs to be very strict laws about using it and driving and doing other things (like those where we would not allow alcohol) and the punishment needs to be severe.
Even if marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol that still means it is dangerous (just no more so than alcohol).
Smoking marijuana causes cancer and if one is also a tobacco smoker the incidence of cancer greatly increases. Despite what the stoner crowd tells you, marijuana is not some wonder drug that causes no harm. There are serious effects on the body and long term use is detrimental. Perhaps there is a use for the products from marijuana (like THC being used to stimulate appetite in cancer patients) but make no mistake, it has harmful effects.
The real issue with regard to Obama is the inequality in the legal system. Obama is concerned that rich people who get caught with marijuana are less likely to suffer the harsh consequences of the legal system than are the middle class and the poor among us.
Yes, there are a lot of people on the middle and low end of the spectrum who are jailed or otherwise under the restraints of the legal system because of marijuana use. However, I strongly doubt that these problems are ONLY because of the marijuana. For many of these people marijuana possession or use is but one charge among others such as illegal possession of a firearm, possession/use of other drugs, burglary, assault, failure to appear, violation of probation, multiple past arrests and so on.
In other words, these folks are not angels who happened to have a little weed on them.
But Obama is one to never leave the inequality card at home so he makes the issue about the inequality of the legal system.
If he wants equality then how about we start with making it so all the citizens have the same standards and rules as the politicians? If people get caught intoxicated they can go to rehab and be allowed back to work just like a member of Congress. If someone gets caught not paying taxes or cheating on them then that person can get a pass just like members of Congress and members of the Obama staff.
I do not believe in equality of outcome. Everyone should have the same chance in life (and we all pretty much have the same opportunity) but what one does with the opportunities is what determines the outcome. Obama can’t grasp this concept for society at large (with regard to him and his daughters it is a different story) so he thinks everyone deserves (or, as liberals say, has a right) to the same outcome.
And by God if the outcome is not the same then big government needs to step in and fix it.
Suppose two people of similar means both receive a million dollars to do what they want with. The first guy parties and spends it all on lavish items and soon runs out of money and ends up bankrupt. The second guy invests the money in a small business and grows the business over time so that he is eventually making many times more than the million dollars he started with. He employs people, provides them great benefits and he prospers. He buys the things he put off while building his business and he establishes a great life for his family.
Which one would most people applaud? They both had the same opportunity and chose different paths so their outcome was not the same.
To Obama the first guy got shafted and the government needs to step in and take money from the second guy to make the first guy’s life better.
Obama is clueless.
Maybe all that pot he used in his youth did damage his brain after all…
Cave canem!
