Now that we have affirmation on WHY the website does not work. Lets take a look at how it’s put together and follow the network.  (HatTip Fantasia for some links)

Sometimes looking into the engineering side of the new Obamacare Cyber Construction (Rabbit Hole) makes you wonder…..

In 2010 when the ACA (Obamacare) was passed it was 2,700 pages, 381,517 words, formulating a bill that no-one read before it was voted on; and “we’d have to pass it to see what’s in it”.
In 2013 Obamacare, and the accompanying regulation which compromise it’s construct, is now 10,535 pages long (11,588,500 words).  Thirty times larger than the initial construct and so massive that no-one knows what it all means in totality.
So a website to sign people up for it needed to be constructed.

Where did the feds turn?  To a previously authorized cyber engineering firm, CGI, who held a very special status –  “Indefinite Delivery and Indefinite Quantity.”   As the Washington Examiner outlined: (more…)

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed – and hence clamorous to be led to safety – by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”…..H.L. Mencken

What if you turned on the television and suddenly there were no more countdown clocks….no more talking heads discussing doomsday scenarios predicting a crippling government default?  How many of us can even remember looking forward to being entertained and informed when we sat down after a hard day’s work? 
I came to a sudden realization this past weekend as I watched countless numbers of veterans take back their monuments in D.C.   Veterans who stormed beaches, fought in jungles, and endured desert heat thought nothing of a few hastily erected “Barry-cades”.  Many of these veterans, most now in their nineties, weren’t going to be stopped by Obama any more than they were by countless other autocrats.   I’m going to take a lesson from them….and stop being told what I have to fear.

The Democrats want to add removal of the “Sequester Cuts” into the budgetary maneuvers.  Essentially, last year the Dem’s made a strategic blunder;  thinking they had the Republicans backed into a corner with the following proposition:  ‘Either raise taxes *OR* watch horrible cuts to Defense spending”.  
What Dem’s didn’t realize at the time was the strength of the conservative pressure on the traditional GOP.   As a consequence the “Sequester” was not seen as unpalatable as Harry Reid thought, the common sense conservative electorate shrugged off the threat and said fine let the future military spending shrink – and retain tax rates. 
The outcome was Dem’s proclaiming the Sequester was the end of the world.  It didn’t end.  And so today….. 

(Baseline for discussion stems from Reuters Article Outline ) – Some U.S. senators said they were closing in on a deal Monday that would reopen the government and push back the deadline on the hard Debt Ceiling/Spending decisions for several months, though many hurdles remained as a Thursday 10/17 deadline drew near.

There are many similarities at work in the French electorate just like they are here.   The Front National Party (FN) is similar in view and position to the U.S. Tea Party.  However, the FN has an actual political structure.  Pay attention to this paragraph in the article (emphasis mine):

“The left and the mainstream right are blaming each other for what is happening, but the reality is they’ve both been knocked sideways,” said Nonna Mayer, the Research Director at the National Research Centre CNRS. “Neither of them know what to do.”

Sound familiar?

*Note* For those who don’t follow international politics closely Marine Le Pen is like a French version of Sarah Palin; albeit without the media attached misogyny.

FRANCE24 – France’s mainstream political parties were Monday scratching their heads over what to do about a surge by the Front National (FN) after a breakthrough by-election win for the far-right party.
The ruling Socialist party and the centre-right Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), the party of former president Nicolas Sarkozy, face humiliating reverses in municipal and European elections next year if the FN can sustain its current standing in the eyes of an electorate thoroughly fed-up with record unemployment, rising taxes and a perceived increase in crime and insecurity.
A poll published last week suggested the FN could emerge as the best-supported party in the European elections with 24 percent of those asked declaring themselves ready to back the party led by Marine Le Pen, the daughter of FN founder Jean-Marie Le Pen. (more…)

Every time we see the media lie and hide behind this talking point…:

‘Obamacare is a law passed by congress, signed by the president, and upheld by the Supreme Court’.

….we will highlight the falsehood and update with recent events.

This week NBC’s David Gregory used it in an interview of Senators’ Dick Durbin-(D) and Rob Portman-(R):

Let me just raise this issue about ObamaCare, because I want to come back to that. One of the issues is that for conservatives, this has been such a huge issue, even though the law’s been passed and upheld by the court, they still argue, “No, there’s a basis to really try to make it better, to replace it, to get rid of it.” – David Gregory on Meet The Press

FIRST WATCH THIS VIDEO:  [<— It has not been seen enough]

(more…)

Democrat Corey Booker is, well, quite frankly, the most accurate personification of a limousine liberal you can currently find.

By profession Booker is the current Mayor of Newark, New Jersey.

He’s also running for the currently open New Jersey Senate seat.

Only there’s one pesky factoid beginning to surface; not only does Mr. Booker not live in Newark, he might not even live in New Jersey and his disclosure forms for the U.S. Senate -which include address/residency requirements- appear to have been generously fudged.

An indy journalist named Charles Johnson has trailed the Booker residency issue and has produced this MUST WATCH video:

What’s great about the video is the honesty and humanity from the people being interviewed. Ms. Donna Jackson and Ms. Cassandra Dock are just like us, ordinary citizens doing the best they can to get by. Each putting one foot in front of the other yet recognizing that Booker represents the fraud that essentially outlines the hypocrisy behind everything liberals stand for. (more…)

Another video from today’s Veterans’ March shows another angle at confrontation with the regime.
What I find interesting is how the liberal left, who supported the entire construct of the Occupy Wall Street movement, now find themselves demanding the police begin to attack the protesters.   The same people who rallied for visible confrontation for their Occupy cause’s are now the same people proclaiming the Tea Party is just too aggressive in their voice demanding freedom and reduction in government influence.

It’s an interesting psychological reconciliation on display. It will be further interesting to see how the media covers it.
The parasite Occupiers who, in vast majority and their own comfortable proclamation, did not pay federal taxes and yet were demanding more government benefits, rec’d warm underdog treatment from the liberal media as they confronted the regime.   So how will the media cover increasingly frustrated tax payer expressions from those within ‘middle America’ who ultimately are the providers of the underwriting?
Lastly, as you review the media response, imagine for just a minute that George W Bush was still in the White House against the backdrop of these confrontations. How would that change their coverage?

Ted Cruz is going to be the primary lightning rod drawing attacks from the left, the establishment right, and the insufferable media.   The collective goal will be to “Palinize” him using typical Alinsky tactics like Isolation – Ridicule and – Marginalization.   
Those familiar with how the destructive operation works saw it on overdrive when Sarah Palin was leading conservatives with a principled, constitutional, conservative message.   It was so evident, and unfortunately so painfully effective, people even gave a name to the outcome, “Palin Derangement Syndrome”.
I can guarantee you that right now there is assembled a small group of investigators digging through every second of his life, his finances, his associations and that of his family, to create files of opposition research to use against him.  Their goal will be to ridicule and marginalize him.    The establishment class of Big Government Republicans will do all they can to assist the left.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Ted Cruz trounced the competition in the presidential straw poll at the 2013 Values Voters Summit, with Dr. Ben Carson and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum coming in a distant second and third places — highlighting how Mr. Cruz has become a rock star with religious conservatives. (more…)

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.

(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.
