Wounded War Hero’s Powerful Open Letter To ‘Elitist Rich Thug Obama:’ Dear Mr. President

Brian Kolfage

 

... "Regardless of why we went to Iraq, its water under the bridge. We went there, we waged war, and we not only owed it to our KIA’s but we owed it to the citizens of Iraq. We invaded their country and turned it upside down, and you bailed on them. You bailed on our soldiers and you’ve wasted every death and every limb, it’s all for nothing.  And to make matters worse you blame others for your failures" ...

Hamburger, Coke And…Obamacare? Restaurants Now Charging Obamacare Fee On Your Meal

   Weasel Zippers

 

 

"Via CNN Money:"

Several restaurants in a Florida chain are asking customers to help foot the bill for Obamacare.

Diners at eight Gator’s Dockside casual eateries are finding a 1% Affordable Care Act surcharge on their tabs, which comes to 15 cents on a typical $15 lunch tab. Signs on the door and at tables alert diners to the fee, which is also listed separately on the bill.

The Gator Group’s full-time hourly employees won’t actually receive health insurance until December. But the company said it implemented the surcharge now because of the compliance costs it’s facing ahead of the Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate kicking in in 2015.

“The costs associated with ACA compliance could ultimately close our doors,” the sign reads. “Instead of raising prices on our products to generate the additional revenue needed to cover the costs of ACA compliance, certain Gator’s Dockside locations have implemented a 1% surcharge on all food and beverage purchases only.”

Gov. Brewer vetoes Arizona SB 1062

 

From Feb 24th: Issue Analysis: Arizona Bill Does Not Give Businesses License to Discriminate Against Gays

 ... "While the bill is an attempt to broaden who is covered under its religious freedom protections, in all cases it actually narrows when a religious belief could be used to refuse service.

"Here are six important points to understand about the just-passed (but now vetoed) bill:...

 

 Razing Arizona: Conservatives Succeed at Failing Again   ... "After all, observers such as Napp Nazworth at The Christian Post contend that SB 1062 might actually — contrary to all the hysteria — have made it harder for most business owners to refuse service to homosexuals. This analysis may have merit and can be read here, but it’s irrelevant to a larger point:

 

"The GOP’s handling of this matter was a good illustration of conservatism’s fatal flaw."

The NY Times has it's opinion on this   "The bill was inspired by episodes in other states in which florists, photographers and bakers were sued for refusing to cater to same-sex couples. But it would have allowed much broader religious exemptions by business owners."

Rich Lowry: Brewer's Foolish Veto  "Clocking in at barely two pages, it was easy to scan for disparaging references to homosexuality, for veiled references to homosexuality, for any references to homosexuality at all.

"They weren’t there. A headline from The Week declared, “There is nothing Christian about Arizona’s anti-gay bill.” It would be more accurate to say that there was nothing anti-gay about Arizona’s anti-gay bill." ...

... "Given Kerry’s loud global-warming sermonizing and the administration’s serial threats, bad actors abroad probably believe that burning too much coal is more likely to anger the U.S. than shooting protesters or gassing enemies." ...

 

 James Longstreet; Author of Deadlines, Keeper of None   ... "Is it racist to note that the “resetting” with the Russians was a unilateral effort steeped in naivete?  Some hold Obama as the most naïve President of all time. Is the START treaty worth the paper it is written on?  Putin is playing shirtless macho hard ball while Obama throws high arcing slow balls (a la his “first pitch”) in his “mom jeans”.  

"The world is a tinder box and the nefarious have read the Obama message of empty outrage, too often half hearted vapid indignation.  China watches."

By golly, here is one that popped up today: US warns Russia on war games as tensions mount in Ukraine's Crimea  " The United States warned Russia it would be a "grave mistake" to intervene militarily in Ukraine, as the Kremlin ordered 150,000 troops to test their combat readiness and armed men seized government buildings in Ukraine's Crimea region and raised a Russian flag over a barricade.
 

Well, leastwise Al Sharpton still kneels at the Obama altar:

VIDEO: Idaho Muslim Police Officer Kicks, Shoots and Kills a Disabled Man’s Service Dog

Atlas Shrugs  "Hostility to dogs is deeply ingrained in Muslim culture. Muhammad said that a dog passing in front of a man who was praying would invalidate his prayer (so would a woman passing in front of him, which is why women pray behind men at mosques). Other hadiths depict him ordering all dogs killed except hunting dogs. So this Muslim police officer’s actions were consistent with Islamic culture, but reprehensible in American culture. This cop gives the lie to the multicultural idea that American can allow mass immigration of Muslims without any consequences."

 

Be warned: "This video is horrible, very tough to watch. Dogs are reviled under Islam — watch this Muslim police officer first kick the dog and then just shoot the dog to death:"

 

 

From Bokbluster: Polar Vortex Crosses Red Line in Climate War

 

"The Polar Vortex is back. Used to be March just came in like a lion.

It doesn’t matter. Lions, lambs, vortexes, snow, rain, drought, ObamaCare – it’s all your fault. All things are made by man-caused global warming. Al Gore says so, John Kerry says so, and President Obama says so.

 "Vortex of Climate Change

"So, if you like your polar vortex, you can keep your polar vortex. Period."

 

More vortex stuff here.
