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.

Get Ready To Bailout The Insurance Companies
Jan 13, 2014 Political
It looks like Barack Obama made sure to take care of the insurance companies with regard to Obamacare and the money they will receive as part of a bailout will come from taxpayers. Obama’s vocabulary has different words and meanings from the rest of us. To Obama the definition of illegal alien is new Democrat voter and the definition of citizen is ATM. We are ATMs because we are constantly having our money withdrawn to pay for government’s largesse.
There were problems with the health insurance industry prior to Obamacare but many of the issues were because there is no true free market available. The government regulates the industry to death which creates problems that government then wants to “fix”.
Obama took an expensive part of the economy and made it more expensive. He took a part that many had trouble affording and made it more unaffordable. He took an insurance industry that was making money and created a system that loses money and then uses taxpayer money to pay the insurance companies for their losses. How can anyone in his right mind say this is better?
To top it off, the Obamacare scheme relies heavily on the young signing up and paying a lot while not using much insurance so that the money they pay in can be used to pay for the elderly and the unhealthy and the young are NOT signing on.
If they do not sign up in sufficient numbers the entire scheme will collapse and the taxpayer will be on the hook for even more money.
The liberals, particularly the young, believe that insurance companies are evil and that they should be forced out of business in favor of a single payer system. These young liberals hate it when insurance companies make money (which is what a business is supposed to do). I wonder how they will take the news that their Imperial Leader has ensured the evil insurers will still be profitable but this time at the expense of the taxpayer (and premiums will skyrocket).
I doubt most of them are taxpayers so it might not sink in to their mush filled heads but the fact that they are not getting free health insurance and that the plans they are forced to take are more expensive than those available prior to Obamacare while insurers continue to make money should give them pause.
Insurers are in business. no one has a right to have his health care paid for as it is that person’s responsibility. Having insurance is great but the reality is if one cannot afford it or refuses to get it then that person is the one responsible for the bills when health care is needed. We have and have had social safety nets for the truly poor among us.
The rest of society is supposed to be responsible for its own health care bills and part of that responsibility is in purchasing insurance or paying their own bills.
I understand that it is hard when there are two car payments, big screen TVs, cable bills, expensive cell phones and their accompanying plans not to mention all the fancy designer clothes.
One can’t be expected to give those things up just to buy health insurance.
Especially when they think they will get a free ride…
Get the popcorn folks. It is going to be an interesting show.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Your Patriotic Duty?
Jan 2, 2014 Political
The Chief Medical Editor for NBC says she made (read forced) her children to sign up for Obamacare because it is their patriotic duty. This is an interesting twist on a law that mandates people purchase a product and violates their Constitutional rights. I should not be surprised because liberals will scream about patriotism when they want to force something on people or need to shame people into following along.
There are a lot of people who do not like Obamacare and have voiced their opposition. Hillary Clinton once told us that dissent is patriotic (warning screeching voice) so now we have two opposites. How can it be patriotic to sign up and patriotic to disagree?
Patriotism is cultural attachment to one’s homeland and devotion to one’s country. Signing up for healthcare is not patriotic. Being forced to do so is definitely not patriotic.
One form of patriotism involves serving in the armed forces of one’s home nation. We have an all volunteer military but men are required to sign up in case a draft is ever needed. We have had drafts in the past (most recently during the Vietnam War) and there were a huge number of people opposed to it. People burned their draft cards and dodged the draft and were hailed as heroes by liberals like this Chief Medical Editor.
[note]Bill Clinton dodged the draft and he is adored by the left.[/note]
If signing up for an unpopular (and unconstitutional despite the SCOTUS) law is patriotic then signing up for and being part of the draft (were one to be instituted) must also be patriotic.
So, if the country held a draft right now do you think this Medical Editor would make sure her kids signed up or do you think she would encourage them not to?
Hell, it is patriotic to enlist in the military and that is not a popular choice (based on the small number of people who do so) so if Dr. Nancy Snyderman of NBC really wants her children to do something patriotic she should MAKE them join the military.
I won’t hold my breath.
I will also set her straight. It is patriotic to NOT sign up for Obamacare and to oppose this overreach of government. The first patriots of this nation opposed an overreaching and oppressive government and we got a great nation.
Unfortunately, idiots like Snyderman, Obama, liberals and RINOs are destroying this nation.
But hey, because of their actions they will see lots of patriotism…
One last note. If Obamacare is so great why would she need to MAKE her children sign up?
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Harry Reid Loves Obamacare
Dec 26, 2013 Political
[This post failed to publish on its intended date.]
But only for you…
Looks like Harry Reid does not think Obamacare is as wonderful as he let on when he helped jam it down our throats. He has exempted part of his staff from the mandate so that they can stay on the federal plan. Members of Congress have discretion with regard to certain staff as to whether they must enroll in the plan while the members and some other staff are required under the law to enroll.
Reid has decided that the Obamacare that is so wonderful it had to be forced upon us is not a great deal for some of his staff.
Seems to me if Reid can exempt some of his staff we should have the ability to exempt ourselves WITHOUT PENALTY.
In other words, why is it that the idea of if you like your plan you can keep it only applies to special folks while the rest of us are forced to get rid of plans we like to meet some federal mandate?
Remember, Harry Reid shut down the federal government over Obamacare. He refused to delay it for a year and allowed the government to shut down over his stubbornness. Now he is exempting part of his staff from the very thing he refused to change to avoid a shutdown.
The strange thing is after Reid allowed the government to shut down Barack Obama allowed the very delays that Republicans wanted because Obamacare is not working. Obama needed to push things past the next election.
Harry Reid, on the other hand, seems not to care about how it looks and what effect it might have on the next election. He exempted staff and Republicans were quick to jump on it.
Reid’s spokesman Adam Jentleson said that they were just following the law. Funny how they are following the law when they want to do something but refuse to follow the law or criticize those who do follow the law.
Cases in point; Reid never said a word about Obama not following the law as written and Reid as well as other Democrats have blamed all the insurance cancellations on insurance companies when they are only following the law.
In any event, keep this in mind during the next election. They impose on you while exempting others.
As an aside, you know Democrats are in trouble when they start invoking God to help them out. Reid and his buddies could very well lose control of the Senate and one of the Democrats in trouble is Mark Pryor of Arkansas. In his new ad he holds an open Bible and invokes God’s name.
Next year might be a real good one if we can get take control of the Senate and even better if we get rid of some RINOs along the way.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Obamacare: Disaster by Design
Dec 9, 2013 Obamacare
Obamacare is designed to raise costs, cause cancellations and to put the health care system into chaos. It is not, despite any other claims, designed to improve things and it is not designed to make sure people without insurance get it. No, it is designed to fail but to do so in a way that makes it look like they really, no really, tried to make it work. It is designed this way so that Obama and his progressive cronies can push us into a single payer system where government completely controls the health care system.
This has been a dream of progressives for decades and now with the anointed one in office they are working overtime to ensure they get it.
Remember, Obama has always been an advocate for a single payer system with all its wealth redistribution schemes and health care rationing. Obama stated many times that he prefers single payer but he knows that he can’t get there all at once. It will take time.
Enter Obamacare. This fiasco was pushed through and it was designed to overload the system so that it will fail. It must fail but it must only fail after as many systems are in place to allow the easy transition to single payer. This is the entire game plan and it is what was intended from the start.
Obama and his progressive allies know that Americans would never give up their freedoms willingly so a direct assault would have ended in failure. The plan with Obamacare is to take things one step at a time until single payer looks like the last best hope for our system.
[note]“The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” ~ Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf[/note]
In other words, Obama will wreck the system and then give us the only solution to save it and that solution, surprise, will be the single payer system that he has always wanted.
And many American morons will fall for it, will demand it and then will live their lives as chattel. They will be the property of the government an entity that will decide who gets what treatment and when. In a few decades we will be in line with countries that have second rate health care because Obama wanted it that way.
The fix is in. Obama pushed for Obamacare (a term he liked until it polled badly) and he made sure that the right members of Congress were paid off in order to secure votes. He got his Democrats to pass Obamacare and he did it without ONE Republican vote (Democrats own it). He needed it passed so he could push for single payer.
Obamacare is a bust. The issue with the website is just the tip of the iceberg. The system is heavy with regulation. It is extremely costly and it is not working the way they said it would. Obama and his minions lied to us to keep the disaster moving so he can get to the point of no return where single payer will be the only solution.
If you like your plan you can keep it, period. If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor, period. This will lower your costs by $2500 a year. This will provide insurance to the millions who are uninsured.
The problem is these are all lies. Obama and his Democrats KNEW these were lies. They had to keep telling them so people would not revolt before the point of no return.
Now we are getting there. About 1.6 million people enrolled in Obamacare but nearly 1.5 million of them actually signed up for Medicaid. This will rapidly increase the costs the federal and state governments pay and it will bankrupt the system. Obamacare is designed so that the healthy young pay high premiums to subsidize the less healthy elderly. If millions of people (those healthy young) are enrolling in Medicaid then there is no money coming in to subsidize the elderly. Boom, the system blows up and Obama rides in with single payer to rescue us from the disaster he caused in the first place.
There is an excellent article in the New York Post by Michael Tanner that describes this. Another article in National Review by Andrew McCarthy explains the scheme to get us to single payer.
Both articles lay bare the myth of Obamacare’s intentions and show the dark truth that it is a very costly scheme to push us to single payer.
Obama might be a lot of things (and most of them are not nice) but one thing he is not is stupid. He knows what he is doing.
The problem is America is bent over holding her ankles while he is doing it.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
