The Slow Dismantling of Obamacare 

Even Democrats in Congress aren't huge fans any more. It seems after passing the law and finding out what's in it, the allure has faded--so much so that Congress actually repealed part of Obamacare in the fiscal cliff deal last week.

CAIR Vs. the Truth 
The media have capitulated to Islamic demands in everything. They have self-enforced the Shariah, silencing themselves in covering jihad and Shariah, always studiously ignoring the root causes of jihad violence within Islamic teaching.

And from the Canada Free Press "...Because without America there is no Free World" :

Property, Rule of Law & Freedom 
While in the midst of a wholesale reevaluation of the right to private property, it is timely to reexamine the history of US property rights. What exactly caused America's unparallelled level of prosperity and freedom?

Welfare Recipients Take Out Cash at Strip Clubs, Liquor Stores and X-Rated Shops 

NY Post investigation uncovered some pretty sweet charity -- dozens of pubs, nightclubs, bars, liquor stores, X-rated video shops, hookah parlors and tobacco shops where welfare dough was dispensed -- and presumably spent. That's fair, right?

Barack Obama's $7 Million Hawaii Vacation Is An Insult to America's Struggling Middle Class 

The president is to serve his country, not lord over it. This is merely a symbol of Obama's wider presidency - a culture of impunity & extraordinary arrogance, reckless spending, a striking lack of accountability, & a shameless let'em-eat-cake mentality.

=========

Thanks, Linda -- here's another, worthwhile items just keep popping up.

Carol, keep up the good work, excellent articles for discussion posted on C2NN.   It's always the same handfull of liberals defending Obama.    With membership over 21 million you would think there would be more liberals posting but that's not the case....it is a handfull...and nothing more and it's always the same "low information" liberals.

Diane, you have that right.  The same with the same comments and nothing new or original.

Obama's $264 Billion Tax for 2013 May Spark New Recession 

With the fiscal cliff deal and many Obamacare taxes taking effect, Americans will be slammed with an estimated $264 billion in new taxes this year alone -- making 2013 memorable for delivering one of the largest one-year tax increases in American history.

The Truth About Taxes, or, the Work of 1000 Leeches 

For Obama, "tax policy" is both a weapon & an excuse: a weapon in the war to create a more egalitarian (more impoverished & centrally regulated) society; an excuse to undertake all sorts of policy experiments to bring about a utopian "People's Republic".
4 months ago

True that, Carol, absolutely true.    Let us not forget what Obama promised when campaigning in 2007 and 2008....he wants a "Civilian Army"   well "armed" civilians to police and control the masses.    Obama needs to be impeached for being anti-American.

Middle-Class Backers Shocked Obama Raised Their Taxes 

Dyed-blue-in-the-wool supporters of President Obama are blue as can be after opening their paychecks and discovering that "ordinary folks," as the president likes to call them, got slapped with a sizeable tax hike on New Year's Day. Oops!

noted and commented; can't believe Roseann, Carol, she actually thinks the taxes are going to go into social security and can't see that this is not the case at all.  Oh well.

C2NN items posted today:

Obama's Zero-Sum Game and the Coming Redistribution Bubble 

As a presidential candidate in 2008, Obama stated to Joe the plumber that the primary goal of government should be income redistribution. In reality, Obama has made great strides toward that. But zero-sum theory is being misinterpreted & misapplied.

Obama Opposed Gun Ban Exception to Defend One's Home 
As a state senator in Illinois, President Obama opposed legislation providing an exception to severe IL handgun restrictions, if the weapon was used in defense of one's home. The vote is a sign of how committed Obama may be to strict gun control measures.

Is Obama Setting the Stage to Seize the Power of the Purse? 
The White House may craftily be laying groundwork for a massive & thoroughly unconstitutional seizure of power from Congress. In a letter conveniently leaked to Politico, the entire Senate Democratic leadership, led by Harry Reid, told Obama "just do it".

Senate Dems: We'Ll Back Obama If He Raises Debt Limit Unilaterally 
Michael Steel, Boehner's spokesman, said Democrats must face GOP demands to slash spending & reform entitlement programs & predicted backlash if Obama increased borrowing authority without cuts. Dems now ready to use 14th Amendment to circumvent Congress.

Hagel: U.S. Should Give Up Nukes Before Rogue Nations : Asks on Al Jazeera: 'How Can We Preach to Other Countries?' 
Before dealing with nuclear arsenals of rogue nations, the U.S. & Russia must first lead the effort by phasing out their own nuclear weapons, argued Obama's Defense Secy choice Chuck Hagel in largely unreported remarks during a 2009 Al Jazeera interview.

C2NN stories posted today:

Obamacare's Other Shoe : The Pentagon and Chuck Hagel 

Hagel is a different kettle of senatorial huffenpuffer, & not because of what appears to be a certain antipathy toward Jews & gays. That would be awkward at the Tony Awards, but at the Arab League the post-summit locker-room schmoozing should be a breeze.

An Unqualified Jack Lew Will Tax and Spend 
Lew is left of departing Tim Geithner just as Chuck Hagel is left of Leon Panetta & John Kerry is left of Hillary Clinton. It gives you a sense of Obama's 2nd-term direction, likely to move toward high taxes at home & weak national-security stance abroad.

Criticizing Islam Considered National Security Threat 
As tensions continue to surge over the expansion of Shariah law both in the Middle East and in Europe, a new speech rights case has emerged in Spain where an ex-Muslim Christian convert is threatened with deportation for speaking out against Islam.

Controversial 'Parent Trigger' School Reform Prevails in California 
Parent trigger gives parents the right to enact massive overhauls of public schools. They can petition the school board to hire and fire teachers and administrative staff, change the curriculum, and hand over leadership of the school to a charter company.

Huff Po Off the Rails: Touts "Connection" Between "Prophet Muhammad" and George Washington 
Muhammad & George Washington are polar opposites. A bloody warlord who preached conquest, subjugation & slavery, & a man of honor who respected human life & refused the title of king. Ultimately, the PuffHo is dhimmi asshattery of the highest degree.

Hate-Crime Stats Deflate 'Islamophobia' Myth : Islamists Inflate the Number of Anti-Muslim Crimes in Order to Silence Critics 
A detailed analysis of FBI statistics covering ten full calendar years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks reveals that, on a per capita basis, American Muslims, contrary to spin, have been subjected to hate crimes less often than other prominent minorities.

White House Gun Plan: An End Run Around the NRA 

Separation of Church & State defied: Biden urges religious groups to preach gun control. Obama used same strategy in his campaign road shows; try to create the perception that the White House is riding a wave of momentum from the American people.

You Call This 'Diversity Training'? 
A U.S. Dept of Agriculture official has confirmed some of the government's "diversity training", including participants banging on tables & chanting "Our forefathers were illegal immigrants!" was "not in line" with USDA guidelines. Seminar cost: $200,000.

Voter ID Battle Set to Rage Again 
Requiring ID when voting is a simple step we can take to make our elections fairer & to ensure outcome of our elections actually reflects the will of our citizens. ID required to cash a check, to enter many sporting & other events & to open bank accounts.

2013: The Year To Strike a Blow Against Climate Alarmism 
With the coming release of the latest UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, 2013 can be the year governments & media grow up on climate change. Citizens who care about the future of their countries must stop pampering climate catastrophists

Prop-a-Palooza: The Use and Abuse of Kiddie Human Shields 
US Politics & Gov't  

This is the most cynical in Beltway theatrical staging - a feckless attempt to invoke "For the Children" immunity by hiding behind them. This ruse is worldwide & an old hype - politicians kissing babies in order to appear benign & garner public support.

HELP Prevent a Government-Sponsored Medical Atrocity : Obama Administration Seeks Approval to Test Anthrax Vaccine on Children 
The Obama Administration is seeking approval to conduct morally impermissible, wholly non-therapeutic medical experiments that would expose healthy children to risks of serious harm. Whose children are to be selected?

New York Fires Auditor Who Found Misuse of Sandy Recovery Funds 

No good deed goes unpunished in New York: the state has abruptly cut off a contract with the independent auditor who found that the state had been wasting federal money meant to be spent on Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts. Victims vandalized twice...


Gun Solutions, Not Gun Control: Gun Free Zones Should Be Liable For Murders
 

Most of the mass shootings lately have happened in self proclaimed gun free zones. They have been a drawing card for deranged killers who want to make sure they can fire into defenseless people without the worry of having fire returned.



The Newtown Tragedy: Complex Causes Require Thoughtful Analysis and Responses
 
The serious work to make society safer & stronger after events like the December 2012 Newtown massacre requires that constitutional & complex cultural factors be taken into consideration & that policy be based on a serious study of all of the evidence.

Two Women Are Behind Legalized Abortion in America: Now Both of Them Want It Reversed 

"I was persuaded by feminist attorneys to lie; to say that I was raped, & needed an abortion," Norma McCorvey ("Jane Roe" of "Roe v. Wade") stated. "It was all a lie." Sandra Cano ("Mary Doe" of "Doe v. Bolton") says her case was also "...all a lie."

Obama Leading Nation Into 'Full-on Depression' | Pollster: 'I Cannot Remember a Time When America Was This Despondent' 
"At the beginning of a second presidential term, you generally expect the country to be in full-bore optimism, in part as an endorsement of the re-elected president & in part a reflection of the nation settled in its current course," said pollster Wenzel.

Disarming Americans, Arming Terrorists 
Obama, unwilling to respect the Constitution of the U.S. & its Bill of Rights, was willing to arm a terrorist group whose motto is, "The Koran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader, Jihad is our path & death in the name of Allah is our goal."

Planned Parenthood Exploits Martin Luther King for Donation Event 
The Wisconsin affiliate of the Planned Parenthood abortion business is exploiting the name of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for a donation event, despite the fact that his niece says he would have been pro-life on abortion.

Pants on Fire? Despite Media Outcry, Romney's 'Lie of the Year' Was True 

The bigoted Mainstream Media outlets ABC, CNN (Early Start, Anderson Cooper 360), NBC (Meet the Press, Today), PolitiFact, all bandwagoned the sliming of Mitt Romney as a liar re Chrysler. How very learned & perceptive of them. Oops, Romney was...correct!

Obamacare's Not-So-Essential Benefits 
Starting in 2014, Obamacare mandates that insurance plans must cover everything from mental-health & drug-abuse treatments to dental & vision for children - regardless of whether patients want or need them - driving premiums through the roof.

Obama's Second Inaugural Address, Translated 

To sell his agenda, Obama borrowed imagery & terminology from America's first principles. But he twisted the American founding idea of "We the people" into the liberal "It takes a village." His rhetoric only thinly disguised his true meaning.

The Final 'Coming Out' of the Communist Left in America

Entertainment Industry Has Blood on Its Hands 

"Anyone who thinks the media has nothing to do with [the bloodshed] is an idiot." But in Hollywood, talk is cheap and there is a fortune to be made by producing and distributing ever-more graphic, ever-more gruesome and ever-more grotesque violence.

==============

Linda, true enough! The handful of persistent progs that consistently regurgitate the same-ol' same-ol' aren't worth responding to directly; they're a total bore and it's simply a waste of our time and effort.  I'm sure we're not the only ones to notice. Responding generally as you've done is the very best way to go, I think.

What Difference Does It Make? 

Sec of State H Clinton shouted at Sen. R Johnson, R-Wis., at the Senate Committee hearing on Benghazi, "we had 4 dead Americans. Was it because of a protest, or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans?"

Gun Laws and the Fools of Chelm 
Pulitzer Award-winning author, producer & director David Mamet has been extremely open about his conversion from "brain dead liberal" to conservative. And in the wake of Obama's latest push for stricter gun control measures, Mamet writes an edifying essay


What a brilliantly written essay. Concise and powerful. Essays like this clarify the condition that we politely call “Liberalism”. First, Liberals actually have a profound trust of government, instead of a healthy distrust and skepticism. Second, Liberals fundamentally misunderstand human nature, and believe that, if only given more government intervention and power, the failings of human nature can be perfected. Mamet displays an excellent understanding of the nature of The State and why we must be deeply mistrustful of it.
