Obama's America… pic.twitter.com/P38BDsne5d

— Morgen Richmond (@morgenr) October 2, 2013

Today at the Lincoln Memorial ordinary people, America, defied the regime.

We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist Obamacare good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it; And they will… and ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it….

Sheldon Whitehouse is the infectious cellular organism who swims comfy amid the pus growing the boil on our Republic.

Hostages?… “HOSTAGES”? Where the heck was that media talking point when Harry Reid was keeping the entire Senate from going home over the 2009 Christmas Holiday Season, and kept all of the Senators sequestered/hostage so they could not hear from, listen to, or communicate with their constituents who were desperately trying to get their representative to STOP the Obamacare nonsense?

Where was the media telling the public the Senate was being held hostage?

Arrgh… Insufferable left-wing limo-liberals. A pox on all their houses !!

The leftist usurpers and their willfully blind media cohorts, love to bring up the insufferable talking point(s) about Obamacare being the law of the land.  Passed by Congress, signed by the President, and upheld by The Supreme Court;  as if this baseline is the principle behind their “get over it” talking point.
You will see this set of talking points in essentially every argument against the current popular demand to defund, delay or otherwise modify Obamacare.

So what I want to do here is focus on that “principle”, and just remind everyone of some simple facts about how this “law” came to be in the first place;  and, perhaps, give some assistance when you are pushing back against the manipulation of the discussion.
First, Obamacare was not passed as a regular legislative construct.   Not.Even.Close.
Most of you will easily remember exactly how it came to be.   In the Fall of 2009, as the National Healthcare was being debated, an awakened electorate began to recognize just how horrid the concept being sold actually was.
We witnessed day after day, after day, of Democrat special interest groups (unions) constructing the concept of our healthcare.   As each day passed, opposition grew.
Subsequently, Harry Reid needed to keep all the Senators away from their constituents so they did not hear the voice of the people.  Unlike the House Dems, who were flogged at numerous town halls,  Reid “sequestered” the entire Senate and kept them in session over the holiday break of 2009.   He would not allow them to pause, return home, and then resume debate and construct in January.

The “Death Gratuity” is an emergency financial distribution ($100k) to the family of a service member killed in action.   It’s typically sent to families within three days to help cover funeral costs or travel to meet the flag-draped coffins of their loved ones.

Sunday night was not a good night for troops on the ground. A Marine was killed during a combat patrol. A platoon from 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment helicopter assaulted onto target. In the end, four died—two Rangers, two attachments. There were so many wounded by the command detonated IEDs and suicide bombers that the platoon was rendered combat ineffective. For those of you that have served, it was the nightmare you hope you’d never have to face: it was a mas-cas.

But because of what I can only describe as one of the grossest failings of our government during the current shut down (and that’s saying something, I know), the tragedy of Sunday night’s actions are just beginning.

According to sources inside of Special Operations Command, this morning at roughly 0930 there was a video teleconference. In the conference, liaison personnel who were already tasked with the almost impossible job of telling these families their son or daughter has been killed in action, now have to tell them something else: that their government has failed them and they will not be getting any governmental assistance until the government shutdown is over.  (continue reading)

Five servicemen were killed in Afghanistan this past weekend.  The DoD has released the following statement:

“Unfortunately, as a result of the shutdown, we do not have the legal authority to make death gratuity payments at this time.  However, we are keeping a close eye on those survivors who have lost loved ones serving in the Department of Defense.” – Nate Christensen, a spokesman for the DoD

According to the current HHS regime Lilly Grasso is fat.  She is 5’5″ and 124lbs, and despite her rigorous participation in school athletics (volleyball) she needs to get with the program and lose weight.   [the beast is pictured left]
Lilly is like millions of kids around the nation who is given an official federally approved USDA/USEDU school administered “fat test”, sponsored by the ‘now in control of your healthcare’ federal regime.   Soon Lilly’s parents may face fines and penalties as part of the new possibilities within the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) for allowing their 11 year old to be beyond the acceptable variances for government defined health and weight.
Consistent refusal to take proper nutritional care of their daughter may also require the Department of Health and Human services to put Lilly into an approved foster care, or treatment environment, until her Obesity/Health risk can be controlled.     [In a similar vein, an Amish family in Ohio is currently trailblazing new ground with federal courts ruling the parents must give their child to the care of the non-Amish community or be subject to arrest].

For several years the regime has been working prudently to replace school lunches with new federally mandated low calorie food options.  Compliance has been difficult as some parents have been vocal opponents toward being told what they may or may not put in their child’s lunchbox. (more…)

[…] We do not care what political leanings you may be; be it liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent or whatever. The actions of the U.S. government this week with regard to barricading and shutting down the World War II Memorial to veterans, that may or may not be on their last trip to Washington DC, is a despicable act of cowardice.

[…] Many in our group have decided that enough is enough. We are Americans. We are proud of our heritage and our service. As all of us were military brats and spouses, we have served in some form or another our entire lives. This is our way of life. We will not stand by and let the U.S. government dishonor the legacy of sacrifice of the generations before us. It is time to make a stand! We hope that you will join us in our peaceful protest against anti-American policies. (facebook link)

She tried, and failed.  She tried again, and failed again.   She kept trying, and kept failing.

NEW YORK – A defiant motorcyclist caught on video smashing an SUV window with his helmet after a wild chase in upper Manhattan gave the middle finger to reporters in court Sunday.
Reginald (Reggie) Chance, 37, was in Manhattan Criminal Court facing assault and gang assault charges in the brutal beating of Alexian Lien when he flipped off reporters with both middle fingers moments before he appeared in front of a judge.
Chance is the rider wearing a black leather jacket, in the viral video of the Sept. 29 chase, who violently smashes the driver’s window with his helmet, the criminal complaint alleges.

[…] Once they trapped the vehicle, the thugs even tried to grab Lien’s wife, who was inside with the couple’s 2-year-old, a witness who’s being hailed as a good Samaritan said Sunday. (more…)

(Article @Daily Pamphlet)  This week, the left’s psychosis is on full display. Nowhere more obvious is the loss of mental function than in the far-left MSM, who will obfuscate the highest level of crime, and the lowest level of deviousness of Democrats, to propagate and proselytize their ideology
Today, in all its glory, the left wing rag The New Republic went so far as to suggest the Obama Administration break out the tanks, and do some killing of Republicans, to “put the boot on the throats” of the Republicans in the House of Representatives. Actor James Woods tweeted the adage to me a few weeks ago, if you scratch away the surface of a leftist, you expose a fascist. Nowhere is this more evident and proven than the suggestion by The New Republic’s Senior Editor Julia Ioffe’s suggestion that Obama act as Boris Yeltsin did when he shot up Russia’s Parliament building with T-72 tanks.
I have now heard it all. I have seen it all. What we are witnessing is what “The Great One” Mark Levin calls “Soft Tyranny.” Such tyranny is a slow walk to 25% of our population being murdered, as Stalin, Pot, Mao, and Castro did, to name just a few of the most illustrious and storied Marxist “revolutionaries” who murdered all of those who couldn’t be “retrained”…as Obama crony Bill Ayers promised to do in his manifesto.
