Yeah . . tough deal, when most these kids don't want it anyway . . . then you go to rally th troops and the troops found out their insurance has gone from $100 a year to $1800 a year and the school intends to drop it anyway. What a shame. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/11/18/student s-suffer-sticker-shock-from-obamacare/ | ||

Employer based "grandfathered" policies are the next to be cancelled and this was known by the DOJ since 2010. The DOJ said this in a court document several weeks ago. Do your own homework of why I can make this statement. It is time to impeach and convict President Obama who has committed fraud against the American People. Politically, this won't happen at this time because of the Senate. It is imperative that you vote anyone who supported Obamacare out of office so that we can repeal this law and throw Obama out of office. We CAN repeal this law just like the Medicare Law was repealed in 1989. ObamaCare can't and won't work. Period. You know I am correct. | ||

Where's Waldo? Why Obama Fears the Gettysburg Address by Joel B. Pollak 18 Nov 2013, 12:40 PM PDT President Barack Obama has elected not to attend the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address on Tuesday, Nov. 19th. Instead, he will be meeting with Senators at the White House to persuade them not to impose new sanctions on Iran, and to convince them of the merits of an agreement that will allow Iran to continue to enrich uranium at low levels. No doubt, that is important--but it is also a revealing choice. Lincoln's speech is remembered because it expressed, simply and elegantly, why hundreds of thousands risked their lives for an idea: "that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." When President Obama sought to rouse Americans to support a "targeted military strike" on Syria, he failed to move the nation. Now, he prefers to counsel the nation to accept a weak compromise with tyranny. The contrast is striking. Obama has repeatedly likened himself to Lincoln, launching his presidential campaign from the Old State House in Springfield. He cast his candidacy as the fulfillment of the promise Lincoln made at Gettsyburg--"that all men are created equal." Like Lincoln, Obama came up through the Illinois legislature. Like Lincoln, Obama became known for his oratory. But Lincoln's speeches had something Obama's never will. Lincoln's speeches are admired not just because they are well-constructed, but because they contain timeless principles to which he devoted his career and to which he committed the nation. The fate of Obama's speeches is to serve a political purpose, then fade. His speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, an appeal to unity, launched his national career. Today, it is largely forgotten amidst the failures of his divisive presidency. Obama's address on race in Philadephia, in the midst of the 2008 presidential primary, was praised by Chris Matthews and mainstream media as "a speech worthy of Abraham Lincoln." Yet just weeks after declaring he could "no more disown" his pastor, the race-baiting Jeremiah Wright, than he "could disown the black community," Obama severed ties with Wright and his church, the platitudes of Philadelphia quickly cast aside. Lincoln's speeches were more than words--which is why his words are still cherished. The highlight of the commemoration at Gettsyburg in 1863 had been the 13,000-word speech by Edward Everett, a rousing, anti-Confederate diatribe. But Lincoln did not distinguish among Union and Confederate dead. All, he suggested, fought in their own way for the same cause. He was committing the nation, and himself, to reconciliation. Obama has never shown the same inclination to put partisanship aside for the sake of the nation's needs. He has coveted the aura of Lincoln's charisma, but has never humbled himself to learn from Lincoln's example the way Ronald Reagan humbled himself before "The Boys of Pointe du Hoc." For Obama to speak at Gettysburg, to stand where Lincoln had once stood, would only sharpen the contrast. That is why he is staying away. source: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/11/18 /Why-Obama-Fears-the-Gettysburg-Address This one is even better: http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenhayward/2013/11/18/obamas-gettysburg-skip-may-confirm-clint-eastwoods-thoughts-about-him/ (Message edited by reindog on November 19, 2013) | ||

The Convention of the States is the best chance we have to save our Country. | ||

How far we have fallen in our four score and some odd. The Original: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. where we stand now....

The Convention of the States is the best chance we have to save our Country. ^^^ I'm inclined to agree. The White House and (most of) Congress are not going to change their reckless, socialist ways without some "help." The federal government is (and has been for a long time, not just since 0bama took the helm) corrupt and wildly out of control, and is SO far removed from what the Founders and Framers intended. The more I read about the Convention of States, the more encouraged I am that We The People can actually put the brakes on the FedGov. The Founders and Framers were brilliant men, of that there can be no question. So much so, they built a "safety" mechanism into the Constitution to empower the states, if needed, to regain control from a rogue, runaway federal government. This is exciting stuff.

.. . . from a rogue, runaway federal government. When you start to hear of folks saying things like . . . "80% success rate is acceptable" "we have to pass it to know what's in it" and viewing $13,000,0000 of waste and fraud in a program as "within acceptable limits", You know these folks have lost touch with reality. Now wer find out . . . shame we didn't read the bill . . .that all those insane insurance claims, under the ACA, for folks with pre-existing conditions . . .well, the feds cuts a deal to underwrite them and reimburse the insurance companies for them . . .as a trade for taking otherwise uninsurable folks. Yep . . .they are trying to herd us all onto the federal tit. | ||

Source, more: http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/16 983-lawmakers-introduce-articles-of-impeachment-ta rgeting-ag-holder So, last week, on the exact day and time the articles of impeachment against Holder were being introduced in the House, an unscheduled, last-minute press conference was called by the president announcing his "cure" for the socialist assault known as 0bamaDontCare. And all eyes of the media have been focused on 0DC ever since. I just spent a fair amount of time searching the 'net for the latest on the Holder impeachment proceedings. The article linked above is fresh, but it's mostly a rehash of last week's news. No one is covering the Holder impeachment proceedings. Media silence, in other words. I guess it's simply not "news"... | ||

This one ought to get a peep out of FB1. The US Census Bureau faked the jobs report in the final stretch of the 2012 Presidential campaign (8.1% -> 7.8%). Tom, I'm sure we talked about these fishy unemployment numbers just prior to the election on this very thread. I remember there was an uproar from the right, and I remember that the left and the mainstream media (yes, I repeat myself) trumpeted the great news that the Great Healer and Lowerer of the Oceans was FINALLY healing and lowering something. It was utter BS then, and now - safely after the "election" - yet another revelation on how much "drag him to the finish line any way we can" was actually going on by the people pulling his strings. I spent some time re-visiting this issue last night. There's a ton of stuff on the 'net from last year about this - the pickings are ripe. Here's a fresh post from the Conservative Treehouse this morning. Not that it matters - The Won won, after all - but SOMEday this shit will all catch up to him. I hope it happens before it's too late.

Tom, I'm sure we talked about these fishy unemployment numbers just prior to the election on this very thread. I remember there was an uproar from the right, and I remember that the left and the mainstream media (yes, I repeat myself) trumpeted the great news that the Great Healer and Lowerer of the Oceans was FINALLY healing and lowering something. I saw Eric Bolling on Fox News the other day playing a clip of himself from when those numbers were released. The clip showed him saying that there's no way these numbers are real, and detailing how it wasn't supported by other things you could see happening in the economy. Those who pay attention aren't going to get fooled. Of course someone who knew a great deal about fooling people, once said, "You can fool most of the people most of the time". We rely on the media to NOT be most of the people though. Unfortunately, much of the media has become part of the greatest show on earth. I also found the details that came out a bit surprising. They actually came out with the name of a person who was committing fraud as part of his employment with the Federal government. Normally I would expect to hear about how this fraudster was immediately fired. No mention of anything like that ever happening. My guess is that he may get promoted. | ||
