Free at Last! Thanks to Obama and Democrats, Life Will Be Good.

Healthcare Slavery  "This week and last we learned from Democrats that Obamacare is society's latest liberating influence.  Americans can stop and smell the roses now that they are unshackled from the adult responsibility of providing for their own basic necessities.  The need to perform honest yet unpleasant or even difficult work is a thing of the past.  Free at last!

"However, those of us who work for a living are feeling a lot less liberated now that we must subsidize the sabbaticals of those who vote for a living."

 

Investors.com: ObamaCare: The Phony 'Job Lock' Escape Defense

"But it turns out that the Democrats' claim that millions can't escape the jobs they have solely because of health insurance is debatable. And to the extent that job lock is a problem, it's far from clear that ObamaCare will solve it."

Video: Less Work Under ObamaCare is Good  "My favorite part of the video below is watching the media folks trying to process the latest doublespeak coming from the White House. So you’re saying… this is a good thing…

 

"Just once I’d like to see someone stand up in the press room and say are you high?

 

"Millions and millions of people have left the workforce under Obama. We have a full blown unemployment crisis happening in this country and yet the White House still gets away with spin that wouldn’t fool a four year old."

Obama is Becoming Public Enemy Number One

Warning Signs  "America has arrived at a point at which it has never been in its 226 years of existence since the Constitution became effective in 1788. It has a President for whom that Constitution is routinely ignored in his quest to “fundamentally transform” America into a nation it has never been despite the slide into progressive policies that began early in the last century.

"His namesake legacy legislation, Obamacare, is wreaking havoc on the lives of millions of Americans who have lost or will lose their healthcare plans that have been replaced with those whose cost is far higher" ...

 

Obama: "I Can Do Whatever I Want"   ... "The remark comes in the wake of other recent statements, including the President’s comment that all he needs is “a pen and a phone” to get things done without Congress.

"After the original “pen and phone” comment, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters, “He will not limit himself and certainly doesn’t think the American people would want him to limit himself just to what he could do legislatively through Congress.' ”

 

 

It has always been a dangerous world for Jews and now...

It’s time to speak out against the global persecution of Christians   "I recall someone saying that you could judge societies based upon how they treat their Jews. I don’t recall who said it.

 

"I think that’s still true in large part, but less of a global issue because most of the world — and certainly the Muslim world — has been depopulated of its Jews. In Europe, the maxim still holds, as the virulent demonization of Israel by the BDS movement alliance of Islamists and leftists is driving out the Jews who are left, and driving others into virtual hiding.

 

"Globally, however, it is Christians who are under pressure and persecution. Hearings were held in Congress today on the issue:..."

Qanta Ahmed, writing in The Jerusalem Post:

...Attributed to German Jewish essayist Kurt Tucholsky, I scribbled it down: “A country is not only what it does, it is also what it tolerates.”

I found myself thinking not of collaborators during the Nazi era, but of Muslims during the Islamist era...

Thought Police: Firms must swear ObamaCare not a factor in firings

Thought Police: Firms must swear ObamaCare not a factor in firings   "Obama officials made clear in a press briefing that firms would not be allowed to lay off workers to get into the preferred class of those businesses with 50 to 99 employees. How will the feds know what employers were thinking when hiring and firing? Simple. Firms will be required to certify to the IRS – under penalty of perjury – that ObamaCare was not a motivating factor in their staffing decisions. To avoid ObamaCare costs you must swear that you are not trying to avoid ObamaCare costs. You can duck the law, but only if you promise not to say so."

Krauthammer’s Take: Obamacare Delays are ‘Completely Lawless’   “ 'It’s unbelievably hypocritical,” Charles Krauthammer said in reference to the latest Obamacare delay announced by the president yesterday. “Remember when Republicans were trying to change the law legally and constitutionally in Congress? They were accused of being terrorists, they were taking the country hostage when they were saying, ‘Let’s amend the law as written.’” 

 

This police state tightens it's grip. Hey, a nation gets the leadership it deserves!

Smoking gun in IRS political targeting Shocker! Leftist group paid to review right

 

We, the People 

"Under the Obama administration they have been allowed to consider themselves part of Obama’s junta.

"With the IRS you are guilty until you can prove innocence"  WND

 

"WASHINGTON – Though President Obama insists the Internal Revenue Service is not guilty of the political targeting of nonprofits, WND has learned the agency contracts with an avowedly “progressive” organization supported by George Soros to process data filed by smaller tax-exempt groups.

 

"The federal agency process sends details contained in the annual filings for organizations with $50,000 in annual receipts or less to the Urban Institute, which is funded at least partly by government payments as well as contributions from far-left activist George Soros." ...

 

...."The IRS.gov page on the “Annual Electronic Filing Requirement for Small Exempt Organizations – Form 990-N (e-Postcard)”)  includes instructions to file online, and includes a direct link to the Urban Institute."

 

The site has the following text inside a box:

How to File

Use this link to file the e-Postcard. If you have trouble accessing the system using that link, you may be able to access the filing site directly by typing or pasting the following address into your Internet browser: http://epostcard.form990.org. When you access the system, you will leave the IRS site and file the e-Postcard with the IRS through our trusted partner, Urban Institute. The form must be completed and filed electronically. There is no paper form.

Not even a teensy-weensy bit of corruption

Ron Fournier just can't defend Obamacare anymore

Ron Fournier in the National Journal:  "It's getting difficult and slinking toward impossible to defend the Affordable Care Act. The latest blow to Democratic candidates, liberal activists, and naïve columnists like me came Monday from the White House, which announced yet another delay in the Obamacare implementation.

 

"For the second time in a year, certain businesses were given more time before being forced to offer health insurance to most of their full-time workers. Employers with 50 to 99 workers were given until 2016 to comply, two years longer than required by law. During a yearlong grace period, larger companies will be required to insure fewer employees than spelled out in the law.

 

"Not coincidentally, the delays punt implementation beyond congressional elections in November, which raises the first problem with defending Obamacare: The White House has politicized its signature policy."  Emphasis added, TD.

Rick Moran at American Thinker took note of this: Liberal columnist 'getting sick' of defending Obamacare    ... "If you're getting sick and tired of defending Obamacare, why not change course and start advocating for repeal and replace? The effects of the law are just beginning to be felt which does not bode well for the economy or for people's health insurance options."  More

Iranian Poet Hanged (By those whom Ron Paul said we should be nice to)

Shaabani

Commentary Magazine  "Iranian authorities have reportedly hanged Hashem Shaabani, a poet which the regime has accused of being “an enemy of God.” His execution should do more than anything else to provide an opportunity for Secretary of State John Kerry and UN Ambassador Samantha Power to embrace moral clarity, for it does more than anything to show the undeniable cruelty of the Islamic Republic and its murderous ideology.

 

"There is a tendency in the State Department—the administration does not matter—to repress discussion of human rights out of fear that to discuss them will risk progress on harder national-security issues like the nuclear deal or terrorism. This is a mistake: If the Iranian commitment to come in from the cold is so shaky that it can’t deal with rightful criticism of its treatment of political prisoners and internal dissidents, then the deal is so fragile as to be not worth relying upon." ...Michael Rubin

Alan Caruba: "Hating All Infidels"

Warning Signs

 

"What does it say about Islam that both the Super Bowl in America and the winter Olympics in Russia require massive security against an attack by jihadists?

"What most people in America and the West have not been able to grasp is Islam’s hatred of the infidel—the unbeliever. It has existed for fourteen centuries. On top of that is the schism within Islam between Sunnis, the majority of Muslims, and Shiites."

....

" What the West has yet to grasp is its intent on world domination. That is why jihad—the so-called holy war—is a central pillar of faith." ....

California Fights Two Droughts, One Of Them Man-Made

Sierra snowfall, one year apart.

Victor Davis Hanson from Stephen Frank's California Political News

... "So if the drought continues, billions of dollars of Westside orchards and vineyards will die, row cropland will lay fallow and farm-supported small towns will likewise dry up.

 

"There is a terrible irony to all this. Never have California farm prices been higher, given huge Pacific export demand. Never have California farmers been more savvy in saving water to produce record harvests of nutritious, clean and safe food. And never has farming been so central to a state suffering from the aftershocks of a housing collapse, chronic high unemployment, overregulation and the nation’s highest sales, income and gasoline taxes.

 

"Yet there are really two droughts — nature’s, and its man-made twin." ...

The Nuland Call; Russia’s interception and leaking of U.S. diplomats’ conversation is telling.

NRO ... "And what’s also pretty evident is Russia’s strategic motivation for this release: to exploit fissures in the U.S.-EU relationship. As German chancellor Angela Merkel’s angry reaction to the Nuland call illustrates, the relationship remains strained in the wake of the Snowden revelations. The Russians hope that by widening the gap between the U.S. and its European allies, they can consolidate their own position in Ukraine. They fear a Western policy consensus in support of the opposition.

"That takes care of Russia’s capability and motivation." ...
