The one constant in an ever changing universe is how progressives are committed to the whole “I’m friends with my children” schtick.   This generic communal immaturity creates profound liberal hypocrisies.    Cue –  Maryland AG, Doug Gansler, who was photographed at his son’s party in Bethany Beach Delaware taking merry pictures of teenagers engaged in binge drinking, and having a grand ol’ time.

Gansler’s first auto-erotic response was to claim he had no moral authority to do anything about the underage drinking….. D’oh….   But then the political “betters” got a hold of him and shaped his messaging to be, well, more gubernatorial.  He now has “regrets“….

…. and when the bough breaks…

CBS’s front man, Scott Pelley, was visibly distraught and filled with tremendous anxiety as he seemed forced to report on the reality – Millions of Americans are losing their healthcare insurance coverage.

Indeed, it  well appears the media are being dragged to report on the reality lest they see themselves completely disconnected, and wallow amid embarrassment.
All of this comes amid a new Weekly Standard report  and Forbes report which outline the sheer magnitude of the cancellation notices now reaching homes coast to coast.

The U.S. individual health insurance market currently totals about 19 million people. Because the Obama administration’s regulations on grandfathering existing plans were so stringent about 85% of those, 16 million, are not grandfathered and must comply with Obamacare at their next renewal.

The rules are very complex. For example, if you had an individual plan in March of 2010 when the law was passed and you only increased the deductible from $1,000 to $1,500 in the years since, your plan has lost its grandfather status and it will no longer be available to you when it would have renewed in 2014.

These 16 million people are now receiving letters from their carriers saying they are losing their current coverage and must re-enroll in order to avoid a break in coverage and comply with the new health law’s benefit mandates––the vast majority by January 1. Most of these will be seeing some pretty big rate increases.  (link)

Townhall.com outlines even more about the incredible size of the bait and switch broken promise from President Obama: (more…)

(Via CNS News)  Americans who were recipients of means-tested government benefits in 2011 outnumbered year-round full-time workers, according to data released this month by the Census Bureau. The recipients also out-numbered the total population of the Philippines.

There were 108,592,000 people in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2011 who were recipients of one or more means-tested government benefit programs, the Census Bureau said in data released this week. Meanwhile, according to the Census Bureau, there were 101,716,000 people who worked full-time year round in 2011. That included both private-sector and government workers.
That means there were about 1.07 people getting some form of means-tested government benefit for every 1 person working full-time year round.  (read more)

Earlier this week conservative radio host Sean Hannity called the Obamacare hotline and spoke to an operator. The operator, Earline Davis, was honest and told Hannity nobody liked the website. The next day she was fired. He interviewed her for his TV show, and is “gifting” her a years’ salary and more:

Proof of Intent

I’ve been searching and waiting all day for CNN to post video and transcript of this exchange between Erin Burnett and Congressman Henry Waxman from last night 10/23/13.

Why?
Because Waxman accidentally outlined the TRUTH.    When he was questioned by Burnett about President Obama’s promise that everyone will be able to keep their health insurance, against the backdrop of hundreds of thousands of cancellations for private insurance being received, the question was:  “Is/Was the President being honest?

This should come as no surprise; it is, quite simply, only about the hundredth time people have reported on the aloof detachment of President Obama.   
Even Bob Woodward wrote an entire book in general about how disingenuous Dear Leader was/is toward fiscal policies, and more specifically his indifferent and bored outlook regarding negotiations with Congress that might actually involve work.  
Remember too, during the OBL kill/capture mission – Obama had to be dragged off the golf course; and then, according to Reggie Love, didn’t want to participate in the event preferring instead to play cards because his presence was required *near* the situation room.
(New York Times) With rebel forces in Syria in retreat and the Obama administration’s policy toward the war-ravaged country in disarray, Secretary of State John Kerry arrived at the White House Situation Room one day in June with a document bearing a warning. President Bashar al-Assad of Syria had used chemical weapons against his people, the document said, and if the United States did not “impose consequences,” Mr. Assad would see it as a “green light for continued CW use.” (more…)

The White House is feeding information about a possible extension for compliance with Obamacare  enrollment/purchase mandates.

However, the ever political Denis McDonough/Valerie Jarrett are hopelessly stuck in the political risk, and will not concede the word “delay” out of fear it will prove the GOP was right in their admonishments.     Yes, they are THAT petty….. Just watch…..

The open border crowd of leftists have long held the belief in a non sovereign global community.   This lies at the heart of their insufferable “it takes a village” beliefs, and their globalist efforts have long been at work in the petri-dish of European multi-cultural Marxism.
Multi-culturalism has failed miserably in their EU experiment, and nationalists are making a resounding, albeit mostly politically correct, comeback against the visible failure.
Here in U.S. the leftist progs hold the same disposition toward a united North American borderless continent.    Obfuscating illegal Mexican immigration into the United States lies at the core of their current approach.    A recent New York Daily News article exposes the rotten core of the Prog hypocrisy.  (actual headline)

Fleeing wrath of vicious cartels,  record-breaking numbers of Mexicans seek political asylum in the U.S.

Mexicans are running  from drug cartel horrors and seeking asylum in skyrocketing numbers. Refugees  tell the Daily News they ran for their lives for chance at safety in the U.S.,  where more than 23,000 Mexicans fled in the first nine months of 2013.

Democrat Senator and Lib-Hack Media Darling, Dick Durbin, wanted to enhance the 36 hour Tea Party Racist narrative by claiming loudly a “GOP Leader” told President Obama: “I Cannot Even Stand To Look At You”.   However, President Obama, and others in the room (via Jay Carney) say “that never happened”.

Dick Durbin is a NOTORIOUS LIAR – that’s why the lame-stream media love to put him on their talking head politishows.    Durbin worships at the Alcee Hastings religion hall where they “make stuff up as they go along“.
WASHINGTON DC – The No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, Sen. Dick Durbin, says that a House Republican leader told off President Barack Obama during a negotiation meeting, and that they are so disrespectful it’s practically impossible to have a conversation with them.
“In a ‘negotiation’ meeting with the president, one GOP House Leader told the president: ‘I cannot even stand to look at you,’” Durbin wrote in a post on his Facebook page over the weekend. […]
“What are the chances of an honest conversation with someone who has just said something so disrespectful?” Durbin wrote.   (more…)

HatTip LandauMurphyFan –  As we have outlined the *real* war on women was actually constructed in the backroom of the Senate Chambers;  it goes under the auspices of Obamacare; it was manufactured by insufferable, political, manipulative left-wing liberals; it was based on lies and falsehoods, and it was born through deception and trickery.
Why is Obamacare considered a ‘war-on-families’?  Quite simply because in the vast majority of U.S. households women are the key decision makers regarding their family healthcare plans.    Subsequently anything that impedes desire, deconstructs ability, or reduces freedom for a woman to care for her family, is viewed appropriately as ‘in opposition to’ a families’ best interest.
The Matt Walsh Blog sent a call out to the blogosphere (email addy:  [email protected])  requesting people to send in real-life examples of how Obamacare is impacting people.   Notably, almost every response is from women who are awakening to the new Obamacare realities.  What follows are a few examples:

Meg, Georgia:

I’m a 12-hr night shift nurse in a hospital (the irony). I work part time so that my husband and I can trade off caring for our one-year-old (he’s a firefighter who works 24 hrs on- 48 off on a rotation).

My manager called me and stated I would have to, because of Obamacare- related insurance cost restraints , etc (her words), either go up on the number of hours I work each week or become a per diem employee. Did I mention I’m 6 months pregnant? So, I had to decide whether to go up to working more hours than our family can handle or go “per diem” in which case I’d immediately lose all the paid sick leave I’ve been earning, hoping to use for maternity leave, as well as lose a short term disability policy I’ve been paying for which would also help with maternity leave. Guess which we chose? How on earth do you plan for the future with the future shape-shifting constantly on the whims of egomaniacal and out-of-touch politicians? Thank goodness for a supportive and geographically close extended family.
