The Democrats in The House of Representatives want a New Face as their Leader

File Photo – Nancy Pelosi

I’m not sure I understand…

Nancy Pelosi has a New Face every 9 months.

Isn’t that good enough?

What’s a Gal gotta do?

Does Anyone Listen when Socialists say it Out Loud?

George Soros states National Borders are the Obstacle.

“His (Viktor Orban’s) plan treats the protection of national borders as the objective and the refugees as an obstacle,” Mr Soros added. “Our plan treats the protection of refugees as the objective and national borders as the obstacle.”

(Bold and Italics mine.)

If your desire is not for a One World Overreaching and Nepotistic (Crony Socialist) Government Mr. Soros, then why are National Borders an Obstacle?

Bill Gates defends Climate Change as a Building Block of Socialism.

“Even if you have a new energy source that costs the same as today’s and emits no CO2, it will be uncertain compared with what’s tried-and-true and already operating at unbelievable scale and has gotten through all the regulatory problems.

Without a substantial carbon tax, there’s no incentive for innovators or plant buyers to switch.”

(Bold and Italics mine.)

So… Overreaching and Nepotistic Government (Crony Socialism) creates the ‘regulatory problems’, and Bills Gates calls for More Overreaching and Nepotistic Government (Crony Socialism) as the Solution.  It’s the Arsenic Cure.  Your Doctor prescribes a teaspoon of arsenic a day to cure your headaches.  You return to him complaining you feel even worse… so he tells you to double the dosage.

The Same can be, and has been, said repeatedly regarding Obama Care and the Socialization of Medicine here in the United States. And it’s outcome was predicted by all of those who have witnessed Socialism at work World Over.  It’s an Abortion.  The Left is now preparing to Demand yet More Crony Socialism as the ‘Solution’ in the form of Single Payer.  Some of us said repeatedly the ultimate failure of Obama Care was the desired outcome from the beginning in order to set the stage for full Destruction of the Greatest Private Healthcare System in the World.  I continue to believe the ‘Affordable Care Act’ is failing right on schedule.  Jonathan Gruber and Paul Ryan should be proud.

Rich Leftist Progressives will say, just as all Evil People throughout History, what they want to do to you Out Loud.  They write articles, books, pamphlets.  They give speeches and round tables.  They start Foundations designed to promote their forceful desires.  You don’t need to concoct conspiracies…

All you need to do is listen.  All you need to do is pay attention.  All you need to do is makeaneffort.

Yet, we endlessly find ourselves fighting Useful Idiots on both sides of the political aisle distracting us from addressing the truly Sinister among us.

But I suppose to be truly useful one must never recognize they’re an Idiot.

Gruber Government

From the anals of Washington Elitist Government comes the latest in ‘How to get things done when the American Public is just too Stupid to understand‘.

This is why Cynicism is the Only, Constant and Always method to view those we elect… especially those we vote for.

Republican Leftist Paul Ryan has joined Democrat Leftist Progressive Nancy Pelosi in the Jonathan Gruber School of Governing with his latest demand that you will only be allowed to see what’s in the Obamatrade Act after your representatives Pass it.

I don’t believe you need to be reminded what a debacle Obamacare is… and getting worse. So I won’t.

Now we’re told that we are again too stupid to be allowed to see what’s in a sweeping, certainly not limited to what we would think is “trade”, Trade Act before we are all subject to it.

From what small snippets have been leaked, and adding together soundbites from the three people who have at least gone down to the Capital Dungeon to ‘read’ it, there is enough for everyone to hate. The Washington Elites would tell you “That’s how the sausage is made, and it represents a ‘Good Compromise‘.” I would offer it is also how fecal matter is made and represents the very same… just like Obamacare.

So we are told by a supposed “Conservative” that we must pass it to see what’s in it.

Clearly the Democrats who oppose it are not interested in ‘passing it to see what’s in it’… primarily because they are not at all sure they will hold the Presidency in the next term, and are not interested in the profound power which will be moved from the Legislative Branch to the Executive Branch.

And the few “Constitutional Originalists” we have left in the Conservative Movement (read ‘non-leftist’) who are still acting that way, oppose it because it will amount to several anti-capitalist results.

First, there can be little doubt that our allies in Europe have prolonged the Doom of Greece, and the Drowning of the EU, in the hopes that something in the deal Bails out their Socialist Union Scheme which many of us said would fail. We knew this back in the Nineties because people and nations lie… and always will… nothing is new under the sun. (Note: Jeb Bush is meeting with European leaders who are looking for reassurance should he become president that he would not interfere with this new, expected to be shoved down the throats of the American People, EU Bail Out/Trade Act.)

We must begin asking ourselves why American Tax Dollars should continue to go to bailing out Failed Socialist Schemes and the long-dead Socialist ideology those schemes are built upon. Reinforcing Oppression, Death and Destruction should not be a committment made by The United States of America. The Western Socialist Democracies need to be allowed Fail on their own so they will modify their behavior. They have survived at the teat of American Free-Market Capitalism (in what feeble form it exists) for well over 100-years. The time is Now to Stop Enabling Elitist Control and Class Stasis of Fascist/Socialist A-Holes.  But it starts at home…

Second, there is little doubt that this ‘Trade’ bill will magically include Immigration Powers not before held by the Executive Branch. Just as the Commerce Clause has over time been perverted to mean just about anything, and everything, depending on what some person in power wanted it to mean…
Now it will be ‘Trade’. We have mechanisms in place to deal with immigration, but the survival of the Leftist Socialist-Fascist movement in this country depends on new government dependants. Whether these dependants are from other countries, or home-grown, doesn’t matter to the Socialists. As long as they get to vote… and vote for their redistributed ‘paycheck’, Liberalism survives.

Third, this Act will certainly create the very same type of Socialist Symbiosis represented by the European Union and carry with it the very same ‘certain to fail’ model. Just like Obamacare destroying the finest Medical system on the planet, why do we do this to ourselves? The answer is simple. The Socialists believe that it’s not the failure of their ideas. Rather, it’s that their ideas have never been allowed to catch up to the wild success of Self Determination and Free-Market Capitalism (in what feeble form it exists). They continue to fully subscribe to centralized control while anointing themselves Philosopher Kings. It truly is a Fatal Conceit.

Sure… if you’re Leftist Progressive you might think this is super cool. But once you think past the Trees and see the Forest (Something most Liberals are intentionally never taught to do) you clearly see that these powers are assigned to the Executive Branch, not just Liberal leftist Socialist progressives when they hold the Executive Branch.  Thus the push back from the Leftists… and frankly, a main reason the Leftist Light Republicans support it.

The United States is now run by those who seek to protect Government from us, not protect us from Government.

Are we going to allow Jonathan Gruber to be correct when he says “The American People are too Stupid to know what’s going on.”?

We proved him right not long ago with Obamacare…

So…

Probably.

Nancy Pelosi Stretches the Truth

Nancy Pelosi has a Habit.

It Looks like an Addiction.

It Might be an Illness.

She Stretches the Truth…

Minority Leader Pelosi is following up some of her Greatest Hits such as “I’m a Good Catholic” and “We Have to Pass the Bill in order to See What’s in it.”.

Ms. Pelosi skipped Mass and visited Candy Crowley Sunday Morning to make sure we all Realize what a terrific Success Obama Care… Sorry… (“There’s no such thing as Obama Care!!!”) the Affordable Care Act is.

Against all Evidence, it is clear to Liberals that the Government Control of the Health Care Industry is a Winner!

According to Every Democrat not currently in jeopardy of losing their elected office, The ACA is the Greatest piece of Legislation produced in our Lifetime.

Really… it’s just That Great!

So let’s review:

5 Million Individuals have been kicked off of their Insurance Plans so far.  (If you like your Plan you can Keep it.  The Republicans are Lying.)

6 Million People have “enrolled” in Obama Care.  (7.1 Million if you include those enrollments the Government has taken the Liberty to initiate on your behalf.  Your Welcome.)

15-20% Have not paid the first months fee.  (But this is according to Blue Cross/Blue Shield.  And we all know they Hate People.)

Obama Care will Lower your Decductable by $2500 a year.  (Whoops.)

We are beginning to see Testimonials from those who have lost their Doctors. (If you like your Doctor you can Keep your Doctor.  The Republicans are Lying.)

We are beginning to see Testimonials from those with Pre-existing conditions Who can no longer find Care.  (Pre-existing Conditions was a prominent justification for the Destruction of the Free-Market Health Care System and the subsequent Government Control.  The Republicans told you this would happen… but They’re Liars.)

Young Healthy people are not interested in subsidizing my poor Eating and Drinking habits… let alone my Heroin addiction.  So They’re not signing up.  And Those dumb enough to actually get as far as “enrolling” are not paying for it.  Somehow they thought it was supposed to be “Free”.  (Damned Kids, Who were They listening to?)

Obama Care is still the First Time in US History that the Federal Government is Forcing Citizens to Purchase something.  (We just need to modify the definition of Freedom… no problem.)

So, I guess if your only criteria for declaring something a Massive Success is how quickly the Government can Take it Over and dismantle any vestige of its previous existence, then Yes, Obama Care is a Terrific Achievement.

But if you’re Ms. Pelosi deep down you know the truth… so you resurrect Old Demons.

Everything that is Bad, such as the Current Economy and the CIA 10 years ago but not now, is George Bush and Dick Cheney’s fault.   Oh.. and Paul Ryan is an Ideological Radical.  (I wish.)

Candy Seems to agree.

Don’t Forget Single Payer was always the Goal

It’s time to remind ourselves that Government Run, Single Payer Health Care was the true goal of Obama Care in the first place. We must remember that Obama Care was never designed to work. In fact, it was designed to fail from the outset.

But here’s the Rub for Democrats:

Obama Care was Supposed to position the Insurance Companies as Evil Bad Guys trying to make sure you’re sick and dying. (I know… that would seem to be self-defeating as the Insurance Companies would be the ones having to pony up for your care, but don;t let reason get between you and the Socialization of Medicine.) Needless to say, We are not blaming the Insurance Companies. We are Blaming the most destructive Law Forced upon all of us in our lifetimes. We are Blaming Obama Care, and by connection Obama and the Democrat party.

Whoops.

But… we’re Stupid. Right Jonathan?

I want to bring this back up because you will be hearing from many of those Community Organizer types suddenly conceding the argument that the Affordable Care Act is not Affordable and those who crafted it are Acting as if they don’t Care.

There is a reason for this.

These Diehard Democrats are the same people who were ready, when the time was right, to scream about Obama Care from the very beginning. They have been waiting for You.  They have been waiting for you to Blame the Insurance Companies.  They have been briefed by the Elitists, such as Gruber et al, on the plan and were told to wait to create a disturbance until You were the angriest.  And while they flamed the fire of your discontent, they would be carrying the Banner of Government Run, Single Payer, “Universal” Healthcare as the ONLY solution.

Well, they are seeing the writing on the wall, And instead of waiting for Godot, they are coming out in opposition to Obama Care now, because the threat to the Crown Jewel of Socialism is very real after the latest mid-term elections and Republican takeover of the Senate.

These sudden ‘revelations’ are last ditch efforts to achieve the Dream.

This amounts to running out of ammunition and loading up the silverware into the cannon.

So pay attention…

The problem is you will be offered up these Democrat voices as turn-coats to the cause of permanently nationalizing our Health Care System.

They are not.

In reality they are true believers in the Social Utopia dreamt of by all Democrats.

In closing I offer you the impetus for this post.

Meet Burke Beu and the article titled “This Democrat is Giving up on Obama Care”.

The above linked article illustrates exactly what we need to remember while we work to repeal Obama Care. Be wary of those who at first blush seem to be on the same side of this issue.  The comments associated with this article serve to illustrate the trap we face if these people are embraced as allies.

They are not.

You’re Stupid.

And, because You’re Stupid, the Smart People don’t owe you the Truth.

Why?

Because They Know You’re Stupid and You will not Understand the Brilliance of Their Ideas.

They also Know due to Your Stupidity you may not agree with what They want to do, and that would necessitate further explanation and possibly debate. Both of which could lead to not getting done what They want to do.

Finally, They consider Themselves ‘Elite’ which means Superior… to Stupid people like You. They might have been told this throughout their lives by family and friends, or they may just believe it because of a mental disorder. But none the less, They feel Themselves to be Smarter than You. This is what justifies, in Their minds, Their Lying to You because you’re too Stupid to understand anyway.

But Wouldn’t They be afraid We would figure it out?

No. Remember, You’re Stupid.

So Who are these People?

They are composed of Socialists and Fascists (a subgroup of Socialism).  They reside in the Totality of the Democrat Party, but there exist many Republicans and Independents who subscribe to the same Ideology.  There are even some very confused Libertarians out there as well.  Almost always they can be spotted by how they espouse a belief that they are superior to others… who are not around to hear them.  So listen carefully.

And, Why are they Lying exactly?

The Elitists will Lie to you because They believe there should be no debate about Their ideas. They also believe You must be saved from yourself… by Them. Neither of which seems to be warmly received by those They label Stupid (You).

When did this Start!?

It’s a behavior as old as time itself. The idea of Slavery under a ruling Class of Elites has been the basis for every Government on the Planet from Monarchy to Dictatorship.  It is alive and well in China, Russia, Mexico, Canada, Europe and the rest of the World.  It just so happens that the last couple of hundred years it’s found a home in the ideology of Socialism, and it’s variants, here in the U.S.  They arrived at this power by telling you, your parents, and your parent’s parents, that they will ‘fight for you’ and ‘champion equal rights for everyone’.  When in truth, the only thing they give you is that which doesn’t directly effect Them negatively and/or threaten Their Power.

A single Glaring Example; They have taken over the Public Education system in order to keep all of us as ‘Stupid’ as possible.  Without much energy you can see Their Elitist condescension through the fact that They refuse to send Their kids to the schools They run.  I have stated many times, if we want to clean up our public school system Force EVERYONE to use it… or restore the right for EVERYONE not to use it.

How do We Stop Them?

Very Good Question.

First, Make an Effort to really understand what’s going on around you.

Second, Stop listening to the Old Media which was taken over by Liberal Leftists 70 years ago.

Third, take the time to understand the ‘Why’ behind the U.S. Constitution.  This alone will lead you to an understanding of Individual Freedom, Liberty, Right to Property and Limited Government… all four of which are anathema to Elitists.  (Warning: While Socialists may say they are for these things, it is only for Them… not for You.  Why?  Because You’re Stupid, remember?  Of course they will never champion Limited Government as They need Government Force to make you do what They expect you to.)

Such a course of action will also lead you to understand Free Market Capitalism and the Invisible Hand… both of which the Elites despise as neither requires Their supposed brilliance.  And, both leave you in charge of making decisions for yourself… which cannot be tolerated, because… wait for it…  You’re Stupid.

In the End, Stupid is as Stupid does.

So Stop listening to, and worse, electing, those who Believe you are Stupid.

Because that’s Stupid.

Please Don’t be Stupid.

Feeling Comfortable

Or,

Speaking Freely…

Or,

When Socialists get together behind Closed Doors…

Let’s get something Clear.  The Statements made by Jonathan Gruber, a Primary Architect of Obama Care and a M.I.T. Professor, were far from Stupid.

And that is the point.

Gruber’s comments were not Stupid… they were Honest.

While it’s not news to me, it might be to you…

Socialists and their Ilk see you as Stupid.

You are to be fooled, lied to and manipulated.  The only thing Socialists believe you can be counted on to do is the Wrong Thing.

Gruber, et al*, know what’s right for you… always… in every situation.  Just ask them.  (You’ll have to pretend to be one of them and do it where they think they’re safe.) They’ll tell you.

What’s an important lesson to take away from Gruber’s comments, regarding your Stupidity, is the Leftist media circling the wagons to reposition his speaking as “Stupid”.  But listen carefully… no one on the Left is saying his comments are Not True.  What is being said is it was “Stupid” for him to say them.  And what they mean is it was ‘Stupid’ for him to SAY THEM OUT LOUD WHERE YOU CAN HEAR THEM.

The Democrats are angry because you heard one of their own speak freely.

You heard a Highly Regarded Progressive Liberal being Honest about how they ALL feel about You.

Nothing is surprising by these comments.

Many of us have personally heard such statements throughout our lives.  But the Democrats, and some Republicans, have been very careful not to say such things where they can be heard by those they speak of.  Kind of like spelling out words in front of your Children…

Personally I like having Socialists be honest and open.  Just like I prefer my Racists to be honest and open.

They are Poisonous, Ugly and deeply Evil people.  And I want to know exactly who they are.

So now you know about Obama Care and how it has been based on Lies throughout it’s being Forced upon the American People.

But it’s not just about Obama Care.

It’s about how Socialists see the World… and most importantly, You.

When you subscribe to the idea that the ‘Ends justify the Means’ as Socialists do… lying to the ‘unwashed masses’, the ‘idiots’, the ‘little people’,  is just part of the Job.

They are even beginning to look for moral relativity by saying “Everybody does it.”

But hearing it for yourself… puts some things into context, like an Elected Representative publically stating “You have to pass the Law to Find Out What’s in It” as Nancy Pelosi condescendingly did.  She knew what was in it, she knew it was the Crown Jewel of the Socialists Transformation of the United States… it’s just You are too stupid to understand it.  And, on the outside chance you did understand it, you wouldn’t like it.  So Stop asking Questions, Shut Up and Pass It!

Well, they might ‘all lie’… but that doesn’t mean We should tolerate it.  Ever.  From any of them… ‘our side’ or not.

This goes especially for you ‘Liberals’ out there.  Don’t think for one moment that associating yourself with Democrats get’s you a pass…  it’s a Fatal Conceit.

They think you’re Stupid too.

Only worse…  they think you’re Useful.

(*et al refers to Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, Leftists, Socialists, Fascists, Elitists, Hollywood, Environmental Activitists, Man-Made Global Warming Religion Subscribers, John McCain, anon.)

Demand Your Pap Smear!

I just learned today that my insurance covers me for an annual Pap Smear. If it wasn’t for Obama Care I wouldn’t have known.

Apparently I was covered last year too. I can’t believe I’m wasting my money on exams I’m not utilizing. I might have serious problems and not even be aware of them… And it would be MY fault!

So I’m getting started right away.

I’m not exactly sure what to do as I’ve never had a Pap Smear, or a ‘peek and poke’ as our neighbor puts it, and I’ve read online that at my age it should have been a regular process for decades now. As usual, I’m Very Late to the game.

So I’ve placed some calls to friends to find out which Gynecologists they like and which they don’t. Then I can find out if the good ones are in my network and have my GP, more likely his Nurse, send a referral.

I’m kind of hoping to find a Male Gyno… I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with a Female. But I guess I’ll take whoever is most recommended.

Oh, and my wife is scheduling her Prostate Exam tomorrow.

She’ll LOVE that.

“Don’t we all Deserve Universal Healthcare?”

During an interview, Bill Ayers, the Leader of The Weather Underground which was a domestic terrorist group active during the 70’s and 80’s, asked an interesting question. “Don’t we all deserve Universal Healthcare?” otherwise known as Single Payer Government Run Health Care or the ultimate goal of Obamacare.

This Monday, June 30th, at the Albuquerque New Mexico VA Hospital, a man died when he collapsed in the cafeteria and the staff called an ambulance.

Allow me to rephrase what I just tapped out…

A Veteran of the US Military died Monday after he collapsed inside the VA Hospital and instead of carrying, wheeling, carting him to the ER which is reportedly a 4-minute walk… walk… or better yet summoning medical staff to assist him…  the cafeteria staff called an ambulance which took 30-minutes to arrive because according to the cafeteria staff it was the ‘policy’.

The man died.

The man died because of policy.

The man died because of bureaucracy.

The man died because reason and rational had vacated the very building which was best equipped to help him live.

The man died because some nameless, faceless, administrator made a rule and those government employees on duty feared the repercussions of not following that rule enough to allow a man to die in front of them.

I am not Surprised.  I am Sad.  But I am not Surprised.

When you are Everybody’s Problem, You’re Nobody’s Problem.

Welcome to Government Run Healthcare.

The VA is the template for the kind of Healthcare Socialists like Bill Ayers, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer et al. are forcing upon the American People.

To believe it is better than what we had just a few short years ago is to rewrite history and fabricate horrors which never existed.

The United States once practiced a level of Health Care envied, and utilized, by the rest of the world.

But it didn’t fit the Progressive Socialist template.

Now there is an all out war to destroy that private practice of medicine and follow the ‘enlightened’ path administered by Democratic Socialists world over.

And, to realize the Socialist Utopian Dream of People like Bill Ayers and our current President…

The true, real life, factual, stories from VA Hospitals around the United States had to be hidden.  Or at least hidden long enough to keep the public from rising up in great enough numbers to prevent this last piece of Socialism the United States had yet to embrace from being implemented.  There is a crime here and it’s not the reality of government medicine, but rather the cover-up of that reality in order to complete the transition of the United States from a Free Market Capitalist country with Constitutionally Limited Government and Individual Liberty to a country ruled by some derivative of Marxist Governing Theory.

As Stalin famously said “To make an omelet you have to break a few eggs.”… or in this case die on the floor of the hospital cafeteria.

To answer Bill Ayers question; No, you rancid terrorist, no one deserves Universal Healthcare.

I have never done anything which would deserve such treatment, nor to my knowledge did the man who died on the floor… feet from those who would not help him.

And I never wished such a terrible idea upon the rest of the United States, even those who profess to desire it so very badly.

The nightmare that is Obama Care must be repealed.  There is simply no time to waste.

And, if anyone really cared about those Veterans who fought for our freedom and liberty… at least what of it remains… they would all stand up and demand the privatization of the VA.

If for no other reason, do it for the Veterans.

 

Speech-Free Zones

Using his Executive Authority President Obama penned into law Millions of Mobile Speech-Free Zones across the United States.

This morning, during 45-minute signing ceremony, the President of the United States announced this as a Great Day for America and that His latest Executive Action was just the beginning of a Brand New Age.  Mr. Obama went on to say to those attending that Mobile Speech-Free Zones will release all of us from debate-lock and allow us to spend our time in complete Agreement.  This statement was received with a standing ovation led by Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi who later told reporters that being Free of Rational Thought will allow the American People more time to be Actors and Artists.

Wrapping up the event, the President explained that “This Momentous Day has been brought about by all Political Discussions being won by Progressive Liberal’s utilizing their Superior intellect and there is nothing left to talk about.”  “…Consider this a gift to Humanity.”  The last line bringing the attending Press to their feet with applause.

It is unclear where these Mobile Speech-Free Zones will be located. When asked about this President Obama said “You’ll know it when you’re in One.” and  “It’s safest to assume you’re always in One.”  When asked how the zones would be enforced President Obama said that an Historic Collaboration between the NSA, DHS and the IRS has been created to oversee the effectiveness of the new zones.

Claiming to represent the Republican response Senator John McCain appeared just outside the signing ceremony.  When asked for comment Senator McCain said “Brilliant!  Just Brilliant!”

Overall, The Press reaction has been largely Favorable as it resembles what many in the media have called for since the advent of Cable Television and Talk Radio.  Several of the Senior White House Press Corps stated off the record that this has been a long time coming.  Their point of view is that public discourse needed to be discontinued as the public really doesn’t know anything anyway.
