“In war, truth is the first casualty!” Aeschylus

Does the quote by Aeschylus give us the answer to why “demonrats” (sic) can never tell the truth?  They have been at war with the USA for some time, and the rest of us are only now finding out with the plethora of evidence flowing out of 16oo Pennsylvania Avenue!

The Warren Warning

That Other ‘Dead Broke’ Democrat

July 23, 2014   Print

“Be not intimidated … nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice.” –John Adams (1765)

2014-07-23-800cb329_medium.png

The most despised political constituents in America are rich liberals, the self-anointed “intelligentsia” who lord over the Leftist proletariat, and are tolerated only for the graft they dispense to all manner of liberal causes and campaigns.

Though they imagine themselves held in high esteem by the recipients of their largess, they are utterly loathed by the populist 99 Percenter Demo-Party base. Of course, they are equally reviled by conservatives, who object to their smugness and their abject hypocrisy among other traits.

If there is one generalization that approaches a universal truth about the Left Elite, it is that they are chronic hypocrites. And there is no better example of this than B. Obama, who constantly rebukes “the rich,” “the wealthy,” “millionaires,” “fat cats,” ad infinitum, all in the name of “redistributive change,” while he basks in the profligate lifestyle of the most rich and famous.

For example, recall if you will Obama’s incessant vilification of “fat cats in their corporate jets.” Despite a slew of policy meltdowns, both domestic and foreign, Obama spends most of his waking hours jet-setting around the countryside for political stump speeches and fundraisers. Indeed, even the liberal Washington Post has taken notice, criticizing Obama for attending more than 400 fundraisers since taking office — nearly double the amount attended by George W. Bush at this stage of his presidency.

Thus, Obama is racking up hours on the most expensive luxury jet on the planet in order to hang with his Left Elite benefactors — all at taxpayers expense. And when he’s not flying off to hobnob with one percenters in places like the Hamptons last week, he’s off on vacations at wealthy playgrounds like Martha’s Vineyard, or taking his entourage on $100 million “family” trips to Africa.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, “Suppose you were a liberal, and suppose you were a hypocrite. But I repeat myself.”

Fact is, most rich liberals are “upstairs people” — the Dukes, Earls and Barons of Downton Abbey, Lords pretending to identify with Commoners, but washing their hands twice after contact with any of them. They only drop down from their exclusive clubs and gated communities to toss larded pork at the masses in order to ensure that the commissars who do their bidding will protect their estates.

Of course, the 99 percenters suspend their deeply held prejudicial classist convictions when rich liberals are on ballots. They tolerate them in order to form Faustian bargains necessary to advance their statist “dependency” agenda.

Thus, while the nation languishes through the sixth year of economic stagnation, the fulfillment of Obama’s promise of “fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” and as the population numbers of his urban poverty plantations set new records, there is also another record set under his watch.

There are now 268 millionaires in Congress, and as you might have surmised the net worth of Democrats exceeds the net worth of Republicans…

But I digress.

Like most rich liberals, those with presidential aspirations make every effort to cast their identity as card-carrying proletariats, who are thoroughly in touch with the “struggling middle classes.”

The most ridiculous example of this charade was Hillary Clinton’s recent effort to portray herself as “dead broke,” when in fact she and her serial sex-offender husband converted their White House tenure into wealth that now ranks them among the tiniest fraction of the richest One-Percenters.

Now, it appears Hillary has an equally disingenuous contender for the 2016 Democrat presidential nomination who may well send her packing in the primary: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

So, just who is Elizabeth Warren?

Well, for starters, she’s another limo-liberal hypocrite. Like Clinton, she recently attempted to deceive her supporters into believing what she isn’t: “I realize there are some wealthy individuals,” she said. “I’m not one of them…”

2014-07-23-eeeb9ef6_medium.png

But according to her Personal Financial Disclosures filed in advance of her 2012 Senate campaign, she has something in excess of $14.5 million in accumulated wealth, had income in excess of $700,000 in her last year before being elected, and lives in a house valued at more than $5 million. But as for the wealthy, she’s “not one of them.”

Recently, lamenting the plight of the poor, Warren noted, “My brother lives on his Social Security. That’s about $1,100 a month. $13,200 a year.” Well, perhaps she should split her income with her brother, and donate the rest of her assets to charity.

In another fine example of deceptive rhetoric, Warren regurgitated her own version of Obama’s “You didn’t build that” insult to entrepreneurs across the nation. According to Warren, “There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there — good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea — God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”

Of course Warren, like Clinton and Obama, has never built anything but her investment portfolio, and refuses to acknowledge that successful entrepreneurs already pay 80% of federal and state taxes — a violation of “the underlying social contract” which should imply flat taxation. Additionally, America’s corporations pay the highest tax rates among the 33 industrialized nations. But Democrats never let facts get in the way of their classist political agenda, because their only real power is the ability to redistribute wealth to their constituents. And look what their so-called “Great Society” has gotten them.

So, why does it matter that Warren is as hypocritical about her wealth as Clinton?

Because she is a far smarter and more articulate Leftist than Clinton, and her policy positions mirror those of Obama, falling well to the left of Clinton.

She is the ideological heir apparent to Obama’s “Imperial Presidency,” and like Obama, she is a certifiable socialist — a rising star among the New Democratic Party statists, who have infested the once-noble Democrat Party. Obama ran to the left of Clinton in the 2008 Democrat presidential primary, and Warren will do the same in the 2016 primary.

This doesn’t mean Warren is a presidential shoe-in. Indeed, she has said that she’s not running at all in 2016. But her performance at the “Nutroots Nation” convention last week certainly resembled the launch of a presidential bid, as she laid out her 11 Commandments of Progressivism.

If Warren runs, she would be a more formidable general election opponent than Clinton. She would also do a better job of rallying female voters — and female voters have elected every Democrat president since Kennedy.

In 1797, John Adams wrote, “If an election is to be determined by a majority … procured by a party through artifice or corruption, the Government may be the choice of a party for its own ends, not of the nation for the national good.” And that describes the Democratic Party today.

P.S. Despite Warren’s reassertion in an upcoming book that she has “native American ancestry,” that lie is still just that. Honest Injun.

It’s the Senate Stupid!

You may remember the slogan “It’s the economy, stupid” used by Bill Clinton during the 1992 presidential campaign to make the point that George H. W. Bush had not adequately addressed the economy.Clinton’s political strategist, James Carville, posted the phrase inside campaign headquarters as a way to keep the team focused and on message. The phrase later became the de facto slogan for the Clinton election campaign.

The slogan is relevant again in 2012 as Americans consider Barack Obama’s dismal economic record, but if you consider yourself a freedom-loving American, I have a different slogan for you.

“It’s the Senate, stupid.”Most Americans are focused on the presidential race right now, but winning the White House — as critical as it is — won’t be enough to save the country we love without a strong, conservative majority in the United States Senate. It's The Senate Stupid
  • Without a conservative Senate, we won’t repeal ObamaScare.
  • Without a conservative Senate, we won’t balance the budget.
  • Without a conservative Senate, we won’t secure our borders.
  • Without a conservative Senate, we won’t stop the bailouts.
  • And without a conservative Senate, we won’t enact the pro-growth policies needed to get America back to work.

Be Smart. Change the Senate.

If you’re reading this letter, chances are, you follow current events more closely than most and you probably understand the point I’m making — winning the Senate is key to restoring America’s greatness.

The simple fact of the matter is this: a Republican president without a conservative Senate is a waste of a Republican president.

A president can campaign on good policies, but he doesn’t write the bills. As long as liberals are in charge of writing legislation, it will be difficult for a Republican president to sign the right bills into law.

Does anyone think Harry Reid will ever send a bill to the President’s desk to repeal ObamaSCare? The answer is “no” and that’s why I am focused on sending strong conservatives to the Senate who will make that a reality.

Act Now. Support Senate Conservatives.

As we head down the home stretch of the most important election in our lifetime, my challenge to you is this: keep your focus on electing true conservatives to the U.S. Senate. These Senate races aren’t getting the same media attention as the presidential race, but they’re no less important.

This is why I founded the Senate Conservatives Fund, an independent, grassroots organization that helps elect principled leaders to the U.S. Senate, and it’s why I so strongly support its efforts today.

SCF has endorsed eight standout leaders in 2012:

  • Josh Mandel (Ohio)
  • Ted Cruz (Texas)
  • Jeff Flake (Arizona)
  • Richard Mourdock (Indiana)
  • Deb Fischer (Nebraska)
  • George Allen (Virginia)
  • Tom Smith (Pennsylvania)
  • Dan Bongino (Maryland)

Candidates

These candidates share a strong belief in the principles that make America great and they understand the critical role the U.S. Constitution plays in preserving our freedoms.

These leaders also have records that prove they not only talk the talk, but also walk the walk. And they’ve all shown the courage to stand up to their own party’s leaders when it was necessary to support and defend our principles and values.

So if you agree that winning a conservative majority in the U.S. Senate is vital to our nation’s future and if you’re willing to engage in these races even at a time when the media ignores them, then please do three things today.

  • Sign up for SCF email updates so you can stay informed.
  • Make a contribution to help SCF’s endorsed candidates. Without financial support, these candidates won’t be able to get their message out.
  • Forward this email and encourage your family and friends to support these outstanding Senate candidates.

Thank you for your commitment to principles of freedom. We live the greatest country in the world and if we work together in smart and effective ways, I’m confident we can preserve it for generations to come.

Respectfully,

Jim DeMint

Obama”S”care will destroy The USA!

One thought before you start reading the following article:  President Obama continues to say we can’t go back to the policies of the past!  Why not?  If he means the policies that were in place before the democrats took over congress in January 2007, then he (and anyone that believes him),  is either a liar or a fool.  This will be the subject of a future blog, just keep in mind while the republicans had a measure of control in Congress and The White House we had $1.80 per gallon gasoline and unemployment rates hovering around 5%.
Once the democrats took over Congress in 2007 things started to fall apart.  With their willing allies in the press, the democrats have been able to keep the light from shinning on them, however the housing crisis and all of the other problems in the economy can be laid directly at the feet of the democrats. (That will be the subject of another future blog.)  Bush made a major error by not exposing this criminal behavior.  Meanwhile, the press makes it look like Bush and the republicans are at fault.  THAT IS NOT SO!  At least not all of their fault.  The republican guilt is that they stood by and watch this destruction and never gave those of us out here a warning!  It is impossible to believe they did not know the destructive actions the democrats were up too!  Chris Dodd and Barney Frank would have been in jail  if they were republicans. I hold the republicans guilty of allowing these two culprits to get away their crimes  and never doing anything to bring them to justice!
Now let’s take a closer look at the Affordable Care Act, and why I call it the Obama Scare Act. My comments will be brief and in italics separated by (xxx).

Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, TX – highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200
Please read this…….. especially the reference to pages 58 & 59
JUDGE KITHIL wrote: **
Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.
    (Remember Congressman Joe Wilson yelling out, “You Lie,” when the President said otherwise.  I guess it was a lie, or else Obama never knew what was in the bill.) (YOUR going to love this next bit of information):
Any individual not carrying insurance acceptable to the government will be taxed 2.5%…nonresident aliens (illegals) are EXEMPT from this tax.

** Pages 58 and 59-sections 21-24: The government will have real-time access to an individual’s bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.**  (Why? If this is free health care for the 30,000,000 that can’t afford it, why do they need access to your bank account?) (Page 58 says we will be issued a health card, could it be a national id card?) (I hope you don’t get lost in all of this legal-eze spread thoughout this 2,600 plus plus pages of freedom destruction.  Keep in Mind Romney Care is only 70 pages.)
THE HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATION WILL HAVE ACCESS TO EVERY INDIVIDUALS PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL RECORDS.
Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – ACORN). (Subsidized by the government means YOU THE TAXPAYER WILL BE PAYING FOR UNIONS MEMBERS, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS AND THEIR ORGANIZATIONS.)

** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)

** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors’ fees.

**Page 29, section 4-16, Rationing: Your costs are limited to $5,000 per individual and $10,000 per family. (Couple pages 241, 253 and 29 and I wonder if any intelligent American will ever go into medicine again?) (My family far exceed the $10,000. How about you?  If you are young and in good health, that is great, but what about the older or younger infirm?) (Also in these pages it tells a doctor what kind of equipment he can buy to treat his patients, and tells hospitals if they can expand or not.)

** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient’s age.

** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.

** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an “end-of-life planning” seminar every five years. (Death counseling..)

** Page 42, (The health choice commissar will choose your health care benefits.  You have no choice.)

** Page 22 (All books of the self-insured will be audited.)

** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.

** Page 30 sect. 123 (A committee will decide your treatment…(Did someone say Death Panels?)

** Page 72, 8-14 (Exchanges will bring all insurance under government control.)

** Page 84:203  (Government will mandate all benefit packages in the exchange).

** Page 85:7     (Medicaid is automatic.  Everyone’s care will be rationed.)
HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on to identify:

“Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress. Members of Congress claim they pay into  the Social Security system, but they fail to mention they have a well-funded private plan (from money supplied by the tax payer) that covers their retirement needs. If they had to rely on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick ‘fix’ to make the plan financially sound for their future.”

Honorable David Kithil of Marble Falls, Texas
All of the above should give you the ammo you need to support your opposition to Obamacare. Please send this information on to all of your email contacts.
(Other tidbits to keep in mind: You cannot sue the government for price fixing; there are no judicial reviews of government monopolies; the government will now be inserted into your marriage: the government will now ration mental health care.
(Romney care is 70 pages.  It is clearly written and except for the imposed tax/penalty it does not have all of the freedom robbing provisions of the 2,600 plus pages of ObamaScare!  It is also Constitutional for a state to impose these kinds of rules and taxes.  It is not Constitutional for the federal government to do so, regardless what 5 educated-idiots in black robes say!)

PLEASE READ THIS WITH A OPEN MIND AS COMING FROM A PERSON THAT KNOWS THE CONTENTS OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE USA
Wait until you read this…
A retired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire proposed healthcare bill. Read his conclusions and pass this on as you wish.
The Truth About the Health Care Bills – Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney:
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.
To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.
The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government.
However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.
The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own.
The irony is that the Congress doesn’t have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.
This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal healthcare direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide…
If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn’t work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law.
So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law It doesn’t stop there though.
The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;
The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to theUnited States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.
I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights… Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to “be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution.” If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.
For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.
