Obamacare, the Sandwich and the Wagon

Watchdogwire  "Dinesh D’Souza and Michael Shermer in debate at Oregon State University. Questions from the student body regarding Universal Health Care / ObamaCare. The answers were quite well presented and the student body seemed to agree." 

One of a series of debates that they take on the road much like Lincoln-Douglas or William Buckley-Gore Vidal.

Cop-killing serial killer a TEA- Partier! Oops...wait! What? Nothing here, folks, let's move on...

The Blame-Righty Mob Falls Silent  "An alleged murderer has singled out prominent lefties for praise."

 "Question: What will this rabid Blame Righty mob do now that an alleged triple-murderer has singled out prominent lefties in the media and Hollywood for fawning praise as part of his crazed manifesto advocating cop-killing?
"Answer: Evade, deflect, ignore, and whitewash."

Piers Morgan serves hypocrisy piping hot and delicious  Says he:

The LA cop-killer murder spree has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with deranged criminality. I hope they catch him asap.

1. NBC Stars Admired By Alleged L.A. Killer Falsely Linked Palin to Tucson Killings  "Currently there's a murder spree unfolding in and around the city of Los Angeles. The suspect, Chris Dorner, is a fired Los Angeles police officer who reportedly left a manifesto behind. In it, he expresses his admiration for many members of the elite media, including some of NBC's highest profile stars."

2. CNN Stars Admired by L.A. Murder Suspect Falsely Linked Palin to Tucson Killings   "Here's Wolf Blitzer and two other CNN analysts discussing the possibility that Palin's rhetoric might have inspired Loughner to commit violence -- even as they claim there's no evidence:"...

Bozell, Hannity Discuss How Media Are Ignoring Left-wing Inspiration of Cop Killer Dorner

Every loony impressed with his own fame seems to have a manifesto. Well, here's Dorner's.   Video and transcript, but you have to sit through a commercial to watch the video.

I will conduct DA operations to destroy, exploit and seize designated targets. If unsuccessful or unable to meet objectives in these initial small-scale offensive actions, I will reassess my BDA and re-attack until objectives are met. I have nothing to lose. My personal casualty means nothing. Just alike AAF’s, ACM’s, and AIF’s, you can not prevail against an enemy combatant who has no fear of death. An enemy who embraces death is a lose, lose situation for their enemy combatants.

 

Why Does the Media Go Easy on Barack Obama?

The Atlantic    "Allegations of liberal media bias are almost constant in the conservative press, but their intensity has increased since President Obama and Hillary Clinton appeared together on 60 Minutes, where interviewer Steve Kroft posed "softball" questions that were almost comically obsequious. "Mr. Kroft, as embarrassing as his interview was, is merely symptomatic of a larger phenomenon: the unprecedented swooning and cheerleading by the press for Barack Obama," Peter Wehner wrote in Commentary, echoing an argument voiced by many on the right. He posits that the rise of conservative media outlets like Fox News may have triggered a liberal backlash."

Mr. Obama, what WERE you doing the night of the Benghazi attack after you punched out for the day?

Dereliction of Duty: Obama Did Nothing to Save American Lives in Benghazi--and Lied About It

"Nothing. That is what President Barack Obama did on the night of September 11, 2012, as terrorists attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and killed four Americans, among them Ambassador Christopher Stevens. President Obama’s inaction was revealed in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday by outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey."

Panetta: Obama not present on Night of Benghazi Attack  Apparently he only voted "present" on the issue.
"When asked if Obama at least called to check in as the attack unfolded Panetta said "No."
"When asked if anyone from the White House called that night, Panetta said "No."
"According to Panetta, the President trusted that the Sec. of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCOS) Chairman General Martin Dempsey were aware of what military assets were and weren't near Benghazi, so he left it "up to us." "

To digress a bit; That all sounds strangely like this incident:

"Could Obama’s presidency be the most ill conceived in modern times?  What kind of President leaves the people’s business in the middle of a press conference because his wife is waiting on him?

These next from Lucianne:

The Twisted Truth on Obama's Benghazi Response  "In a semi-rational world, no government could withstand the exposure of such inhumanity, not to mention such a total failure to carry out its primary duty -- namely, to protect its citizens against foreign aggression.  In our current, thoroughly irrational world, there remains little doubt that Obama will emerge unscathed from Panetta's testimony, just as Hillary Clinton will remain untarnished after openly declaring, during her own belated testimony, that the clock has run out on any attempt to unravel the administration's web of lies about Benghazi, since "What difference -- at this point -- does it make?"  Read more:

The Weekly Standard reports that Obama did not call or communicate in anyway with the defense secretary that night. "There were no calls about what was going on in Benghazi. He never called to check-in."

The Washington Times reports:  "Administration critics suggest Mrs. Rice was given talking points by the White House as part of an effort to “cover up” what had actually occurred in Benghazi, since the attack came just as Mr. Obama’s re-election campaign was touting the president’s success in “decimating” the leadership of al Qaeda.
"But committee Chairman Carl Levin, Michigan Democrat, tried to steer proceedings away from those insinuations."

Panetta: Obama Absent Night of Benghazi

What difference does it make!?
Weekly Standard   "Panetta said, though he did meet with Obama at a 5 o'clock prescheduled gathering, the president left operational details, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the Americans under siege, "up to us."

"In fact, Panetta says that the night of 9/11, he did not communicate with a single person at the White House. The attack resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
"Obama did not call or communicate in anyway with the defense secretary that night. There were no calls about what was going on in Benghazi. He never called to check-in."

Krauthammer agrees with me about the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki

He surely must read the Tunnel Wall.
Krauthammer: If You Take Up Arms Against The United States You Have Forfeited Your Rights  (Video at the link)
 "I really don't understand this sort of hysteria over the idea of killing Americans who have taken up arms against the United States. Thousands of Americans, Southerners, died in Antietam without any due process. When we stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-day, and Americans approached German bunkers, I don't think anybody asked if they were any German-Americans here, I want to read you the Miranda rights. If you take up arms against the United States you were a target because it was an act of war and you forfeited those rights."

More on this here:  "Similarly, when George W. Bush signed the controversial Military Commissions Act of 2006, he did so at a desk with a sign on the front displaying the words, “Protecting America.” Obama was a vocal opponent of the law, which was criticized for its broad definition of an enemy combatant, its justification of torture, and its apparent encroachment on habeas corpus rights."

Apparently Tony Bennett also left his brain in San Francisco

American Thinker  "The Nazis, of course, confiscated guns, which ensured that when it came time to haul away the Jews, it could be accomplished with almost no casualties, except for all the Jews.
"Born in 1926, young Anthony Dominick Benedetto was a child as the Nazis assumed power.  My colleague Rick Moran thinks it is "sad" that the 86 year old Bennett has embarrassed himself."  Read more...

The president, when lobbying for his bill, solemnly promised "if you like your healthcare insurance, you can keep it. End of story."

As You Liked It

" But as the sainted Paul Harvey would say, there is...the rest of the story. Specifically, that Barry was lying like a prayer rug, and knew perfectly well that Obamacare was specifically designed to encourage employers to drop healthcare coverage and make previously secure workers into wards of the state."

 

Obamacare Is Becoming Socialist Healthcare As Predicted "Employers are indeed dropping their employees from health insurance who will in turn be forced to enroll in government healthcare. The costs are rising because we all now have to pay for unreasonable demands such as paying for everyone’s nosebleeds and birth control regardless of whether or not they contribute a dime to Obamacare."

Video: Catholic deacon files suit against HHS mandate  ...."But what happens when an ordained minister owns a for-profit company?  And what if just three years ago, the same ordained minister was hailed worldwide as a hero for the rescue of trapped miners in Chile?

..."Be sure to watch to the end, when the anchors express alarm that this may affect “women throughout the state … over 900,000, according to Planned Parenthood.”  How? By not forcing companies like American Manufacturing to distribute birth control for free?"

Texas Lawmakers Blast ‘Anti-American’, ‘Anti-Christian’ Curriculum

CSCOPE (education) according to Wikipedia.
“For us, CSCOPE is a lifesaver,” Dina Webb, director of curriculum in Lackland, told the San Antonio Express. “We don’t mandate how teachers use it and certainly, as a military district, wouldn’t teach anything anti-American. But we certainly don’t have the money or staff to be able to write new curriculum every time the state standards change.”
But critics – including some state lawmakers – believe the curriculum is anti-American.  (From the Starnes article below.)

Todd Starnes  "Texas lawmakers are putting educators on the hot seat after public school curriculum surfaced that  promoted Islam and socialism while deconstructing American values and patriotism."
"School children were exposed to lessons that labeled the Boston Tea Party an act of terrorism. They were also instructed to create flags for socialist and communist countries. And they were also given in-depth lessons in the Islamic faith that included classroom readings from the Koran.
"“They are indoctrinating our children to hate America,” said Janice VanCleave, of Texas Education Patriots. “Texans are embarrassed about this.” "

TALKING POINTS USED BY SUPERINTENDENTS TO PACIFY PARENTS

 From World Net Daily: Texas teaching 'Allah is the Almighty God'  
"According to excerpts, under the heading, “Who Is Allah?,” students are told:

“Allah is the Almighty God.”

“Allah alone is the Creator. He alone deserves our devout love and worship.”

"Muhammad is described as having become “disillusioned with the corruption in the city and the growing gap between the urban dwellers and the Bedouins (nomadic herders).”
"But there is no mention of his documented sex activities with a child or his penchant for beheading entire indigenous people groups."

Is there a correlation between all this and the massive influx of Californians into Texas? I know, I know; I'm a transplanted Californian, but doing everything possible to keep Texas Texas. TD

Boy Scouts Delay Decision on Repealing Gay Ban Until May

"The Roman Catholic Church and Southern Baptist churches have criticized the proposed policy change, but more liberal groups like the United Church of Christ, as well as leaders from the United Methodist Church and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) have called on the ban on gay members to be dropped."

This 2006 article in The Accuser has a comment that should provoke discussion: Child molesting priests are gay, not pedophiles.
...."Gay websites and magazines show a warped fascination with underage boys. Your splitting hairs equivocation shows the bent of your rationalizations to twist reality to support your distorted preceptions of it (reality that is).
"The priests were pedophiles because they preferred males not yet considered adults? Preference for wanting sex with your same gender is homosexuality. Placing artificial distinctions to separate 'gay' from 'pedophile' is smoke and mirror crap meant to fool simpletons."

It is considered unwise to have a male leader on an un-chaperoned outing with a group of girls for reasons that are obvious. I know empirically how a young life can be ruined by such sexual situations created by bad choices of leaders. Now these situations will be forced on children by the tyranny of political correctness.
