Keith Ellison says, "All your paychecks are belong to us"

Only Americans are dumb and self-loathing enough to elect a representative with the same ideological bent as their worst enemies. This was evidently the case with Keith Ellison, shamefully for those who voted for him, the first Muslim in the house of representatives. Regarding the government's looting of the national treasury to pay for votes from poor minorities and stupid, guilty whites, Rep. Ellison had this telling reveal.... 

“The bottom line is we’re not broke, there’s plenty of money, it’s just the government doesn’t have it. The government has a right, the government and the people of the United States have a right to run the programs of the United States. Health, welfare, housing — all these things.”

In other words, the government only lets you keep what it wants you to have after it's looted your pockets. And according to the former Nation of Islam vermin, they government hasn't looted enough.

Sticking out his hand in expectation, Ellison's thought bubble..."All your money are belong to us."

Obama screws over stupid swing-state voters along with the rest of us

Obama screwing over the very swing voters that turned the election his way would be even more hilariously hilarious if his method of doing so weren't so pernicious, dastardly, and tragic for them, and us. 

It is my understanding that because Florida and Ohio providers were allowed to sell bare-bones policies at basement premiums, these insurance-exchange consumers will be hardest hit in 2014 when forced by Obamacare to purchase much more coverage. 

How do you idiots in Ohio and Florida like the hopey-changey you saddled the rest of us with on election night now.....morons?

Thieves in Congress steal from taxpayers to fund their personal healthcare

-Corrupt congressmen have exempted themselves from the hellish social security system with which they burden taxpayers. 
-They've exempted themselves from insider trading laws by which taxpayers must abide. 
-They've issued themselves lavish retirement packages that taxpayers only dream about. 
-And now they've exempted themselves from the burden of higher premiums of Obamacare. And once again, taxpayers are on the hook for 75% of the premiums that will have to be paid by law, by representatives and their staff. 

The one provision of the ACA that allowed it to pass was the mandate the no elected official be exempt from the program. Everybody must suffer equally. I'm guessing they wrote that with a knowing wink and nod to each other, expecting that before the premium deadline kicked in, they could repeal that part of the law to save themselves money that the rest of us have to cough up. 

Sorry, but the Office of Personnel Management doesn't have the authority to take money from taxpayers to dole out to anybody to waive the financial responsiblilities imposed upon them by law. John Boehner must pass this as law in the House and Obama must sign it. I'll be interested to see how Boehner gets this through in the dead of a Friday night.

I swear, if they manage to exempt themselves from the ACA, I might abandon participatory politics altogether. Why vote? Can anybody tell me the use in voting when both parties rape the taxpayers nine ways from Sunday, with total impunity? 

Valerie Jarret is the "brains" of the Presidency

DougRoss is reporting that it was Valerie Jarret, not Obama, who refused support as the deadly attack in Benghazi took place. Apparently appalled white house insiders are reporting that there was a C-130 gunship, minutes away from Benghazi, on the tarmac in Tripoli, Libya and a force of Green Beret's nearby who could have easily rescued at least some of the casualties and kill an awful lot of terrorists, had they only been given the green light.

Who is this woman and why does she wield so much power in the first family and oval office? Why is she making the calls that the Sec. Def., Sec. State, Pentagon, and President should be making? No wonder there's been a massive cover-up of the events as they unfolded that night. Obama cannot be seen as yielding his executive authority over to a civilian during a crisis.

People have suspected it all along, but the evidence is mounting to the point that there's no denying that Valerie Jarret is the real President of the US, not the effete Obama.

US runs scared, and with good reason

The US, Canada, and some other western-European nations closed embassies in dozens of middle-east countries on Sunday on the news of "credible and specific threats" from Al-Qaeda. The US embassies are expected to remain closed for about a week.

First, why do we even have embassies in half these countries, if other than to provide prestigious jobs for President's campaign bundlers? And second, what's to stop Al-Qaeda from just postponing whatever attack they're planning until we come back?

We need to be a far less presence in that part of the world. They hate us and we don't understand them. All we're going to do is get US civilians slaughtered.

Self-serving thieves in congress essentially exempt selves/staff from Obamacare

This might the most reprehensible story I've read all week....and that's saying something because I read stories about congress every day....

Members of congress have petitioned Obama, and he's promised a remedy already, for taxpayers to subsidize the skyrocketing healthcare premiums that will have to be paid by members and their staff when they have to enroll in healthcare exchanges like the rest of us.

The fear is that the excessive costs will essentially result in a "brain drain" from DC into the private sector. But seriously, how much brain power is there really in DC? I would argue very little.

The office of personnel management (OPM) says it will pick up as much as 75% of the cost of premiums of members of congress and their staff.

Why are they special? Why aren't they burdened with paying the higher premiums the way the rest of Americans will be?

Why is it my job to fund the healthcare of these rich people?

Georgia is the canary in the coalmine of Obamacare

Georgia is the canary in the coalmine of Obamacare:

As a native Georgian, I'm sympathetic to your insurance rates possibly going up by 200% because of Obamacare. But remember, this was entirely intentional and foreseen by Obama. 

Few will be able to afford hikes like that and will be forced onto the Medicaid roles......and that my friends was the whole point of Obamacare.....to decimate the private insurance industry to the point that we end up with government single-payer.....all Americans + illegal aliens suffering equally and dying in the misery of Medicaid.

The new American police state, coming to your town

Meet Michelle Catalano. Watch Michelle, her husband, and daughter being terrorized by DHS thugs. "Why", you ask?

Because Michelle committed the apparent crime of searching the Interwebs for "pressure cookers" in the same general time frame that her husband searched for "backpacks". Evidently after the marathon bombing, the terms "pressure cooker" and "backpack" are forbidden in the American lexicon the same way the word "bomb" must never be uttered in an airport.

But the bigger question is how did the authorities know the Catalano's had searched, however innocently, the Web for those items? The same way they know that you are right now, reading this blog post that is hostile to the government and critical of DHS's heavy-handed tactics. They also know that in times of crisis, the weak-minded American people will abandon their rights in favor of safety. That's why the 4th amendment guarantee against unreasonable searches has been thrown in the waste bin, so you can pretend that the government thugs who raid your house based on nothing but an innocent Web search, are just doing it for the greater good.

Coming soon.....the behavior police

Obama's Orwellian named "Behavioral Insights Team" is referred to as a "nudge squad" and it confirms the condescending paternalism with which government elitists view their roles in the lives of ordinary citizen rabble. Using psychological tricks, they intend to bend us to their will by optimizing our behavior to come in line with how they feel we should behave, whether it's how we eat, drive, consume health care, pay taxes, recycle, vote, you name it. There is no facet of life that the Obama administration doesn't want to influence, or to put more accurately, "dictate".

But when does a nudge become a shove and then a boot to the ass?

If a PSA for recycling is considered a nudge, what happens when I don't recycle? Will I be forcefully "re-educated" in the ways of environmentalism? Will I be taxed for every beer can that ends up in my trash instead of the approved container? Will the trash police have guns and the authority to raid my house at any time to verify my compliance?

This is the worst and possibly the scariest idea for the role of government I've ever heard.

Not every problem has a government solution

Apparently the newest Hollywood craze is to have a vitamin IV drip composed of things such as calcium, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium and selenium. These celebrities like to think it's for various health reasons, none of which are valid. Models, musicians, athletes, and actors are dripping their way to imagined beauty and hangover remedy and in the process, scarfing up these rare minerals that premature babies need to stay alive. So many celebrities are doing this now that hospitals are having a difficult time stocking these vitamin-IV's and babies are going without.

The nurses are whining that the government should put a stop to this idiocy. While it is certainly idiotic, it isn't against the law, nor should it be, and the government has no business regulating who can infuse themselves with vitamins. This is a free market problem with a free market remedy. If the demand is high enough for more vitamin drips, the market will provide more....all without government intervention.
