CONGRESS IS A FIGUREHEAD

The HealthCare Law is awash in controversy from its passage, constitutional upholding, crony exemptions, and unilateral regulatory power to HHS, along with violations to religious freedoms and the lies told to the American people regarding its true health insurance takeover by government. 

Equally in the area of immigration, when Congress failed to pass Obama’s sought after Dream Act, the President did not accept defeat gracefully. Instead he disgracefully sent out directives to the Department of Homeland Security to implement the Dream Act under the guise of prosecutorial discretion. 

Many Americans have been asking Congress how is it that President Obama can unilaterally decide to ignore the mandate dates in laws and whimsically delay them? Those that argue that the President has the authority under executive discretion are making a mockery of Congress and the rule of law. 

Congress has seen its power diminish and its credibility plummet in the eyes of the public. It might be true that it is difficult to expect a partisan recalcitrant Democrat controlled Senate to be persuaded to remove the President from office if the House impeached or censured him, but the silence of the House GOP lambs is deafening.

Even though many conservative Americans complained that the IRS was targeting their political groups starting after the 2010 elections, Congress has held hearings, been stonewalled by the White House and nothing has been done. When the Benghazi terror attack was called a political protest caused by a video by the President and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the 2012 elections, this bold lie was also uncovered yet what has Congress done? When we found that no help was sent to save these brave men who died defending our consulate and Panetta claimed there wasn’t time, we know that excuse is a shameful deception. Who has been held accountable?

Finally the mainstream media is realizing that the President’s lies about Obamacare have smeared them with being a blatant propaganda machine for the White House and the public is angry at them as much as this administration. They are now reporting a story that some Americans already understood created a major fraud on the 2012 presidential election race. Media is now reporting that parts of Obamacare along with EPA regulations were delayed because their revelation would have altered the outcome of the election.

Consider if the regulatory war on coal by EPA rules was revealed prior to the 2012 elections, and these coal states had the facts about Obama true plans for their industries would Obama be re-elected? Would Ohio that went 50.1 for Obama versus 48.2 for Romney, poll the same? Or Virginia that went 50.8 for Obama versus 47.8 for Romney would those close election results be reversed if voters were armed with the coal truth? What about the razor thin margin of victory Obama received in Florida, 50 versus 49.1, if the lie the President told about Obamacare regarding keeping your insurance plan and doctor was revealed to Floridians prior to their vote? 

Congress has done nothing to address a growing disgust and distrust for what American sees is a thoroughly corrupt and unaccountable presidency that has used the phony diversion tactic of calling dissenters racists as he and the Democrats dismantle our Constitution.  

Throughout all this abuse, fraud deception and lies, the GOP leadership in the House John Boehner and the Senate Mitch McConnell has been burying their heads in the sand waiting only for the next election and the next election and now the next election in 2014. 

Speaker Boehner has the audacity to refuse to appoint a select committee and or a special prosecutor to investigate both the Benghazi and the IRS treachery, yet he has no trouble with waving his fingers in consternation at conservatives. Really John, play golf with the President and snub your base? 

The Speaker’s recent outburst against those that disliked a cowardly budget and took a principled stand to defund or delay Obamacare (Tea Party) ahead of the budget deadline revealed his arrogant elitist Washingtonian delusion of conservatism. He was incredulous that Ted Cruz and Mike Lee supported by millions of Americans would stand up and try to appeal to a stubborn Democrat Party and President that Obamacare should be defunding and or delayed knowing that their pleas would probably fail. 

“Are you kidding me?” Boehner’s comment along with a mocking face may have pleased all those in Washington that hate the idea of government reform and fiscal sanity hoping the corruption in Washington stays but John and others in the GOP don’t get it. What the Speaker and many members don’t understand is that Americans are angry, distrustful and completely frustrated at Congress. They wax dramatic about fiscal cliffs then compromise with spending Democrats on a budget that takes a razor blade to a wood harvest. They sell us the wood shavings and claim it is the best they can do, in fact they expect us to be proud of them. Our response; “Are you kidding us?”

Yes, John, Americans of all stripes, backgrounds, and political colors want their Senators and Representatives to fight the good fight, to stand up to tyranny and to speak truthfully to the American people. Let’s remember Mr. Speaker, that Obama and Harry Reid shutdown the government over Obamacare not Ted Cruz, Mike lee and their supporters. Let’s remember Mr. Speaker, that the last GOP voice echoing in Washington before the rollout was that of principled opposition. Now that Americans have discovered Obama’s lies about the law, they are livid at the Democrats not Ted Cruz. Lastly, let’s understand Mr. Speaker that you don’t engage in only battles in which you are assured a victory. Sometimes self respect requires that you stand your ground knowing you will be knocked to the ground. It is called standing up for principles, standing one’s ground and not backing down. 

   

So are Americans to expect that the GOP strategy is just to continue to sit down, and allow this administration and Harry Reid’s Democrats to trash our constitution while you wait for the 2014 elections then the 2016 elections? How did allowing a corrupt administration to perpetrate government wide voter fraud by deceptions by the Department of Homeland Security on immigration, the State Department lies over Benghazi , the targeting of conservative by the IRS, the purposefully delays of regulations by the EPA and Health and Human Services Department work out in the 2012 election? Do you still think Obama beat Romney fair and square?

This Congress has abdicated its responsibility to defend and protect the Constitution and yes, Speaker Boehner and all other moderate aisle crossing feckless and reckless bystanders to Obama’s executive kingship, this administration has made you fools. Do not send wrath to those of us that elected you to represent both our values and our country’s constitutional Republic. WE the People are not the problem and we expect you to battle for our Republic not just wait for the next rigged election.  

There should be special prosecutors appointed, select committees investigating all the scandals including election fraud, subpoenas flying, censure motions made, and yes impeachment papers filed regardless if Democrats in the Senate ignores them. This is about fighting the good fight for America’s principles and ideals and yes win or lose, history must record that Americans will not just see their country’s torch of liberty blow out without a whimper by our wimpy Congress. 

 

Once upon a time, Mr. Speaker, Americans went to battle against all the king’s army and all the king’s men with many including George Washington doubting victory after suffering many defeats, but against all odds, and without universal support we miraculously we won our country from a dictator. Mr. Speaker, you and all of Congress owe your country at the very least, a bloodless battle in the halls of Congress every day to thwart the Obama executive branch lawlessness or be a legislative branch figurehead.

YOU CAN’T BLAME A TWO SIDED COIN

For decades the Democrat Party has promoted their socialized big government policies on the American people, and deftly managed to get feckless members of the GOP to join them. When those policies failed to deliver or came up scandalized they always had the ability to blame the GOP.

The Democrat’s excuses were numerous but predictably pre-cast protests. One familiar excuse was that the GOP resisted raising the revenue for the program and therefore its failure was caused by underfunding. It might be considered a lame excuse for any paying attention, but it has worked for Democrats with the sound-bite information voter.

Another deflection deception by the Democrats for their failed policies was that the legislation did not go far enough. They blamed the GOP for watering down their Bill to the point that it stalled and sputtered its effectiveness.

The Democrat’s remedy to all of their failed policies has always been twofold, double down on the funding and undue the Republican amendments to their bills that wrecked the workability of their otherwise successful plans.

 

Yet, what do they say now that the American people know that Obamacare is wholly a Democrat Bill? There is not one GOP fingerprint on that bill. It is their healthcare reform bill, their scheme of funding, their rules and regulatory dictates without a peep of input from the GOP.

Well, we see that Obama and the Democrats are desperate to seek a scapegoat. Their usual straw man is absent from the room. So guess who Obama and the Democrats are trying to pin their donkey tail on the excrement leaking from their uni-corny healthcare bill?

Yes, the insurance companies, the same companies that jumped into bed with the Democrats out of lust and fear. Americans should not feel sympathy for those Insurance companies, but we should know that they are getting screwed. Why did they agree to lie in bed with Democrats to begin with, you might ask?

Well, here is the short simple basic answer; greed and control. You see, the insurance industry knew that the Congress was going to pass legislation governing their industry sooner or later. They knew that some of the proposals being kicked around by both Democrats and Republicans would hurt their profits.

Therefore, it is like a child being told by parents that their room will be cleaned, either the child will clean it, or the parent will come in and clean it. The child knows if the parent cleans it then they will throw out their prized possessions not appreciating the treasures and treating them as trash. 

The Democrats allowed the insurance companies to write Obamacare under their editorial approval. This allowed the big insurance companies two benefits. One the insurance companies would have more control over their own fate. Two, these big insurance players would be able to handcuff their smaller competitors legislating them to fail under Obamacare and then gobble them up and to grow and get bigger. The fact is the Democrats have screwed those insurance companies. Well, suffice to say pity, is the last thing Americans should feel for any companies in bed with Washington.

Americans knew that Obamacare was not written by Senators and or House members especially when Nancy Pelosi intoned the infamous oxymoron “We have to pass it, to know what’s in it.”  Yet cynically, the Democrats and the White House made fools of both the insurance companies and the American people.

They knew that they needed a bridge to cross the country’s private insurance market ocean before they could institute a single payer government run healthcare system like Europe. Deviously they intend, and still do by the way, to tank the big insurance companies profits (by regulating them to fail) then get Congress to come to their bail out rescue.

Once the government takes over WellPoint, Cigna, Aetna, Humana and United Healthcare as it did General Motors then passing a single payer plan is easy. Americans will be duped into believing in free healthcare even though as we all know nothing is free. The cost of every commodity in the American marketplace will skyrocket with increased taxes in order to pay for the single payer or national healthcare. Worse the quality of healthcare will take a nose dive.

The Democrats assumed that they had snookered enough American and that the website would be functional, such so the sheeple would flock to sign up for Obamacare’s exchanges and it would be popular even though some would be unhappy by cancelled policies. In fact Obama and some Democrats still believe they can sell this turkey forward. Sorry but this tofu turkey and all its fixins can’t be blame on the GOP.

Did Obama lie? Did Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat Party lie? Wake up Americans, they not only lied they are still lying to you about this fraudulent bill that dances with the devil of details. This is a one sided coin in a con game that is still being tossed in the air to decide America’s future.

The bill has never been constitutional regardless of Justice John Roberts legislating from the bench that a penalty is now known in our English language as a synonym for a tax. Next time you get a speeding ticket, or watch a football game you might as well call your ticket a tax and the referee’s flag for a face mask grab, a 15 yard tax. 

Obamacare needs to be repealed. Obamacare needs to be seen for what it is, a fraud. The Democrats need to be told again by the electorate that we don’t want a single payer big government solution to healthcare as we expressed in 2010. This time we need to work extra hard to cull the cancer of liberal ideology that threatens our nation’s foundational free market and small government history.

Democrats have no shame. They continue to lie about Obamacare, when they ask that it be fixed. How do you fix a con game? How do you fix a rigged outcome? When should you expect a coin to come up heads when it has tails on both sides?

Obamacare isn’t a train wreck it was a planned crash of the private market that just imploded years before it was intended to blow up. Don’t be fooled by the Democrats that are falsely feigning both ignorance and sympathy for the millions suffering shrapnel, they are still playing their con game.

BLOGGERS SILENCED? NEVER!

The President told Americans to not listen to lobbyists, bloggers, radio personalities or activists? This is coming from the mouth of a man whose short resume to be President of the United States prominently featured his community organizing for Acorn. Now as President he wants Americans to listen only to who, him?

Call me a racist, even though I am not. Call me a bigot, even though I am not. Call me obstructionists, even though I am not. Call me a Hobbit even though I am not. Call me a wacko bird, even though I am not. Call me a purist even though I am not but call me for patriotic citizen duty to defend our constitutional Republic and I am ready and not intimidated.

Regardless of your political party affiliation when has America ever before had such a partisan President that feels the need to demonize his opposition and show such arrogant cynicism to those that disagree with his policies?

When has expecting our representatives and President to be faithful to their constitutional oaths altered to a radical position? When has calling for small and limited government that affords maximum individual freedom become labeled as a destructive American philosophy?  

Obama has been condescending and condemning of conservative patriots from the moment he stepped into office. He has been aided by a mainstream media that has bashed everyone who dissents as a bigoted small minded racist and it is not just wrong it is despicably divisive.

As a citizen I am expected to respect the office of President and accept election losses as a good sport and wish the President well in running the country. That does not mean I must accept, like, promote and agree with his policies while abdicating my rational, common sense, ideology and opinion. It is healthy to have dissent, healthy to have debate, healthy to disagree and healthy to be recalcitrant to one’s core principles and values. I don’t begrudge President Obama’s liberal ideology why does he resent all those who hold the opposite beliefs?

No American should just listen to politicians instead one must seek to assess the background, previous policies, voting record, party affiliation and most importantly ideology. If we voted purely on what a pundit, radio host, blogger, activist or friend said about a candidate then we would all be low-information voters.  

Our civic duty is to vote for the candidate in the primary that represents your Country, Constitution and state or district’s best interest not because you like a candidate’s style or personality. Unfortunately we voters are too easily fooled by charlatans that bait and switch our vote. It is okay to make mistakes; it is not okay to give up the search for honorable office holders.

The Republicans and the Democrats as Parties have betrayed the American people, one by seeking to ignore and alter our Bill of Rights and the other by capitulating to this erosion for political expediency. The Democrat Party is selling fool’s gold to the people that eventually will be exposed for the complete charade that its government classism espouses. 

The Republican Party is filled with posers that talk about opposition but votes in lock step with big government. The only hope for Americans to insure their freedoms is to successfully revamp the GOP from the Grand Old Party to the new GOP or Guardian of the People party.

It will take many primary election cycles and there will unfortunately be lost battles along the way yet in any deeply held value struggle, when do you give up and surrender your principles?

The answer is simply, never.

                                                                                                      When will you as an American listen only to your President’s teleprompter? When will you turn off your radio? When will you only read only government approved media?

 Your answer should be simply, never.

THE ARB REPORT OR A-LL R-UBBISH AND B-UNK

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on held a hearing Thursday September, 19 with members of the Accountability Review Board that testified about their report on Benghazi. The ARB report that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was allowed to read first before Congress and who was never questioned by these so-called investigators shows itself to be a warmed over government excuse report rather than a hard fact finding search for the truth. 

This (ARB) in-house government review report as to the events in Benghazi, Libya was not a serious, probing, comprehensive or real search for accountability. Instead it was an inquiry of the State Department done without witnesses being under oath, without a transcription of questions and answers, and in some cases without any notes taken and recorded by the fact finders. 

It is one thing for the members of the government review to claim that their objective was solely to find what bureaucratic mistakes and poor security planning existed so as to make improvement recommendations, yet it is quite another to claim no one in senior office is responsible for incompetency. One has to ask why they would call themselves an accountability review board. When did the word accountability become synonymous with faultless? 

The ARB report and the testimony from the Board members came across to all Americans watching the hearings as the genesis of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton infamous line “What difference does it make?” They were not seeking the truth, not seeking to critically evaluate State Department officials for not having adequate security in Benghazi nor did the board want to chastise the Department of Defense that failed to mount a rescue response.

The Democrats on the committee were full of rage but it was at their Republican members for being critical of the lack of investigation done by the board rather than the debacle of Benghazi. These Democrats went so far as to accuse some Republican members as being disrespectful. Yet I was always taught along with many Americans that questioning authority is our duty as citizens.

The real disrespectful action on that committee was when the mother of Sean Smith and the father of Tyrone Woods were placed at the witness table the Democrats left the hearing. I think that clearly defines an act of disgraceful disrespect and disregard by Democrats for the families of the fallen heroes.  

The sum total of what was learned at this hearing was that no one, not one, senior official in the State Department was at fault for a lack of security and that there was not enough time to mount a rescue. To believe those two postulations about Benghazi would require you to not just be a low information voter but also among the most gullible and naïve persons on the planet. 

Whitewash is not a strong enough term to describe the cover-up and disdainful treatment of the truth by this rubber stamping board that produced a narrative report backing the lies told by this administration to the American people about the events of Benghazi.

In the compelling testimony of Patricia Smith and Charles Woods that spoke of their search for answers as to why their sons died, alone and abandoned by this administration we Americans identify in two ways. One we feel their pain that their sons gave their life for our country and officials of that country lied (protest caused by a video) about the cause of their deaths. Two, we agree with their distrust of an administration that continues to promote the lie that there was no stand down order and no resources that could have been mobilized to rescue their sons.

If the Administration and the Democrats supporting this administration in Congress thinks that the ARB (All Rubbish and Bunk) report will finally stop the families, veterans and the majority of Americans from seeking both truth and accountability for the reckless, cowardice and political treachery of Benghazi, they are living a delusional reality.

Americans will continue to seek the truth about Benghazi, and we will not abandon, stand down, or accept the new normal, that when America is under attack, our Commander in Chief of our military, goes MIA (missing in accountability).
