If you do not support ObamaCare, not only are you racist, you are a person who supports Apartheid.   If you do not support President Obama you are the kind of person who would have enjoyed seeing Nelson Mandela rot in jail  – So sayeth Rep. Cummings.
The only way you can prove you are not a racist, and you must prove it – or else,  or prove you are not an apartheid apologist, is to support ObamaCare.   Capuche?
WASHINGTON DC – Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) on Thursday likened the political fight to implement the Affordable Care Act to the plight of Nelson Mandela, who fought against apartheid in South Africa.
Cummings attended Mandela’s memorial service in South Africa this week and said the connection occurred to him on the 20-hour flight home.

“It was an inspirational trip because I had the opportunity to reflect on the amazing changes that one individual, working with determination over a lifetime, can bring to millions of others,” Cummings said, according to prepared remarks released ahead of a House Oversight Committee hearing on “ObamaCare’s Impact on Premiums and Provider Networks.” […] (more…)

3rd Base signs apparently not good enough.   Who knew? 
JOHANNESBURG—The sign-language interpreter accused of making up hand gestures at Nelson Mandela’s memorial said Thursday that he is schizophrenic and was hallucinating at the time.
The revelation raises questions about security at an event where he stood beside U.S. President Barack Obama and other world leaders.

“I’m currently a patient receiving treatment in schizophrenia,” Thamsanqa Jantjie said in an interview with a Johannesburg radio station, Talk Radio 702. He said he was certified to translate spoken English into sign language, and that he has successfully handled other high-profile events in South Africa for deaf audiences. (more…)

Will it come as a shock to people when they find out the deaf sign language interpreter at the Nelson Mandela funeral was a fake?
Why should it?    Everything about the funeral, and more importantly about the representative ruse around Mandela’s passing, was a collection of global progressives inserting their own desires and scribed pontifications onto something which in reality does not exist.

So why would the interpreter for the deaf audience be real,  everything around the narrative was fake.
SOUTH AFRICA – Deaf people watching the Nelson Mandela memorial were bemused and shocked by a “fake” sign language interpreter on stage whose gestures were unintelligible, activists said Wednesday.

Shame on this male so called interpreter on the stage. What is he signing? He knows that the deaf cannot vocally boo him off. Shame on him !

The interpreter was watched by millions as he stood beside speakers at the event including President Barack Obama. (more…)

Delicious news – President Obama is hiring John “Damn Skippy” Podesta to join his inner circle and advisors.  Podesta was for Bill Clinton what Denis “The Fixer” McDonough is to President Obama.

Now both “Skippy” and “Fixer” are part of the Obama circle with Valerie Jarrett still looming.   That is a highly volatile mix.   Explosive and unstable in the extreme.
However, it makes sense against the backdrop of a Hillary run in 2016 because Team Clinton needs to have their interests represented quickly. (more…)

Meaning the bottom 40% of tax filers got almost 10% of their income from other taxpayers.     – PAUSE –  Repeat.    4 out of 10 people filing taxes got almost 10% of their income from other tax payers.   – PAUSE – Repeat.   40% of people who filed taxes paid ZERO taxes and actually got more money than they started with.   
WASHINGTON DC – The top 40 percent of households by before-tax income actually paid 106.2 percent of the nation’s net income taxes in 2010, according to a new study by the Congressional Budget Office.
At the same time, households in the bottom 40 percent took in an average of $18,950 in what the CBO called “government transfers” in 2010.
Taxpayers in the top 40 percent of households were able to pay more than 100 percent of net federal income taxes in 2010 because Americans in the bottom 40 percent actually paid negative income taxes, according to the CBO study entitled, “The Distribution of Household Income and Federal Taxes, 2010.”

Progressive liberals have a remarkable similarity to N Korean officials when it comes to disagreement and dissent.   Dear Leader is not to be challenged.

 CALIFORNIASTAN –  A California county has banned a veteran employee from criticizing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act because a coworker who overheard the criticism was offended.
The employee is Norina Mooney, who has logged some 20 years of work experience with Santa Clara County, the epicenter of Silicon Valley.
According to Mooney’s attorneys with the Pacific Justice Institute, she made some water-cooler talk with a fellow employee about the high number people who have had their insurance policies canceled under Obamacare.
Later, a supervisor called Mooney into a private meeting and allegedly dressed her down for the attempt at chitchat because an unidentified person had overheard the small talk and been offended. (more…)

TreeHouse Exclusive – According to a letter received from a reader in California the CA ObamaCare exchange requirements require you to change your federal tax return filing status if you are married.
If you are married, and wish to qualify for health insurance, you are not allowed to file separate federal income tax returns.

I received this letter on Friday denying me eligibility for Obamacare simply because my wife and I filed our taxes as married filing separately. According to the letter to enroll in Obamacare via the California exchange it is mandatory to file jointly.

It is my belief that this is further proof that Obamacare is a massive wealth redistribution racket forcing all married couples to file under the more expensive joint option to raise more revenue that will be diverted to the general fund. [The conservative Treehouse has my permission to publish this letter] (more…)

Funny, I don’t remember President Obama, Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid saying if we wanted to keep our doctors we were going to have to just “pay more” for them. Well, that is, back when they were ‘selling’ this Obamacare “pass-it-to-find-out-what’s-in-it” legislation.

In the pictures above you see two white men posing with South African President, Nelson Mandela.    Each white man, Bill Clinton and F W de Klerk, was the political leader of a nation at the time Mandela was imprisoned then freed.

One is hated by progressive Democrats – One is beloved.

So a simple set of social justice questions can be easily established around the timeframe of Mandela’s incarceration and the government of those leaders, and their nations, during the exact same timeframe.        Questions – (but don’t cheat):
Question #1 – Which “white” man presided over a nation who, in 1985, used a government helicopter to drop two gel-based explosive fire bombs on a group of blacks – Killing them ?

A.) Bill Clinton -or-  B.) F W de Klerk

I doubt we will see the update to the story mentioned in the mainstream media the same way they jumped full bore to tell it when they thought it was true….
NEW JERSEY – A New Jersey waitress who raked in thousands in donations after claiming a couple didn’t tip her because she’s gay was fired from her job on Saturday.
Dayna Morales, 22, was finally canned from Gallop Asian Bistro in Bridgewater — nearly a month after she made national headlines over what’s likely a hoax.
The restaurant announced her termination on Facebook Saturday shortly after it was revealed she was returning donations from supporters across the world.
“In light of … recent events, both Ms. Morales and Gallop Asian Bistro have made a joint decision that Ms. Morales will no longer continue her employment at our restaurant,” the eatery wrote. “We wish her well in the future.” (more…)
