It’s a long way from “purple states”…
The President Obama White House has three current “priority issues” in the works. Gun Control, Immigration Reform and Climate Change (energy reform) as current important objectives.
Compare those three to the Priority List of Americans in General. Where do they fall?
Remember when we were talking about the enevitable slippery slope of Obamacare in conjunction with the Nanny State mindset, and taken to its logical conclusion?
Big brother to log your drinking habits and waist size as GPs are forced to hand over confidential records – GPs are to be forced to hand over confidential records on all their patients’ drinking habits, waist sizes and illnesses.
The files will be stored in a giant information bank that privacy campaigners say represents the ‘biggest data grab in NHS history’. They warned the move would end patient confidentiality and hand personal information to third parties.
The data includes weight, cholesterol levels, body mass index, pulse rate, family health history, alcohol consumption and smoking status. Diagnosis of everything from cancer to heart disease to mental illness would be covered. Family doctors will have to pass on dates of birth, postcodes and NHS numbers. (more…)
Inaugurals always magnificent…appears Pres. Obama comfortable with high unemployment and huge deficits..no serious mention

Chris Matthews says President Obama’s inaugural address comparable to Abraham Lincoln. Time magazine says Obama talks in terms too complex for the ordinary earthly person to understand. The Congressional Black Caucus says Obama is fulfilling the Martin Luther King legacy with Obamacare as an example. NBC’s Brian Williams says Michelle Obama is the most fascinating woman since Jackie Kennedy.
President Obama’s campaign director, David Plouffe, says that Washington, and this nation, is not worthy of a man as great as Barack Obama and the opportunity he presents. Newsweek has declared President Obama as the second coming of Jesus Christ.
But the most profound, reflective and ironic statement can be found right here in The Last Refuge; As Sharon reflects upon the inaugural poster of President Obama “The Prophecy Fulfilled“: (more…)
The eat treebark and twigs crowd is going batsh!t crazy that John Mackey is an advocate of capitalism and finds Obamacare to be anti-capitalist. Excellent interview on Greta Van Sustern last night – Click Here
(Via NPR) Whole Foods has played a key role in propelling organic foods into the mainstream. The specialty supermarket chain has more than 300 stores and plans to continue expanding. But outspoken founder and co-CEO John Mackey is not the crunchy granola liberal one might conjure while perusing aisles of earnestly labeled blue corn chips and gently misted red peppers. […]
When Inskeep asks him if he still thinks the health law is a form of socialism, as he’s said before, Mackey responds:
“Technically speaking, it’s more like fascism. Socialism is where the government owns the means of production. In fascism, the government doesn’t own the means of production, but they do control it — and that’s what’s happening with our health care programs and these reforms.” (more…)
You keep hearing *them* in the gun control movement use the term “no-one is saying that” in regard to complete gun confiscation. Why? Because they need to seem more moderate than the argument they support. Yes, indeed people are saying that…. yes.
Essentially… The Last Refuge (Treehouse) position has been sharing information, and connecting dots about gun control, based on historical research references into the ideological goals of the progressive left surrounding President Obama.
While we each have individual opinions on all the various aspects of gun ownership, that point, meaning our opinion, is essentially moot in regard to sharing this information. The aspect we share is predictive in nature – meaning:
The economy, jobs, homelessness, hunger, inflationary impact of a diminished dollar, housing, energy costs, the price of gasoline, burdensome tax rates and a nation in financial crisis are irrelevant to President Obama. FIRST, ACCEPT THAT. They do not care about that stuff – it is an annoyance and irrelevant to the “why” behind their goals. (more…)
Originally we wrote this post in March 2012 in response to the continuing crisis that surrounds this administration, and consequently our nation, on a daily basis.
This is, in a larger sense, all purpose driven.
People often talk about and reference Rahm Emanuel’s famous quote: “never let a good crisis go to waste“; But fewer people actually connect those words to the ideology behind them.
Fabian Socialists became modern Progressives, and comfort in crisis is essential to their goals. Crisis becomes the “new normal” in the world of anyone, or any nation, as they suffer the impact from association with progressives.
When you understand it, you understand what Candidate Obama meant when he proclaimed: “we are 3 days away from the fundamental transformation of America“!
Yesterday, on Meet The Press, President Obama used the word “fundamental” again.
“Something fundamental in America has to change,” said Obama, who visited on December 16 with families of victims of the Newtown, Connecticut, school shootings. (link)
The president said Sunday he will put forth a proposal next year to change firearm laws. (more…)
American Patriots must see through the guise that is intentionally Obambulated double-speak. President Obama will, and is, lying about his affiliated intentions toward gun control in exactly the same way he lied about healthcare control:
( Today ) President Obama on Sunday said he would make gun control a priority in his new term, pledging to put his “full weight” behind passing new restrictions on firearms in 2013.
“I’m going to be putting forward a package and I’m going to be putting my full weight behind it,” Obama said in an interview aired on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I’m going to be making an argument to the American people about why this is important and why we have to do everything we can to make sure that something like what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary does not happen again.” (more…)
No, this is not a spoof. Facing desperate financial struggles, a pending fiscal cliff, the first ever Bond Rating downgrade – which might soon become the first of two – no federal budget for the past four years, dead ambassadors in Benghazi, the middle-east in flames, North Korea launching ICBM missiles, and an innocent Marine sitting in prison in Mexico because the Mexicans are pissed at Obama for illegally and intentionally sending guns to arm their drug lords…but this is a priority? Since when did the role of government become to control ethnic diversity in chosen professions…think about it.
I kid you not, this has all the earmarks and tell-tale signs of another Pigford Fraud – Just replace “farmers” for “healthcare workers” and switch the “Dept of Agriculture” for “National Institute of Health” and …… line up for your free checks folks….. Unreal.
WASHINGTON DC – While the U.S. government commits senseless acts like skimping on consulate security in violent North African countries, it spends $500 million to help minorities—especially blacks—enter biomedical research fields where lack of diversity is “disturbing and disheartening.”
The grand plan was announced this month by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the nation’s medical research agency. As part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the NIH doles out north of $31 billion annually to hundreds of thousands of researchers at thousands of universities and institutions around the globe.

I just can’t stand the insufferable hypocrisy from these people – There is not enough Tar and Feathers……
WASHINGTON DC – Sixteen Democratic senators who voted for the Affordable Care Act are asking that one of its fundraising mechanisms, a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices scheduled to take effect January 1, be delayed. Echoing arguments made by Republicans against Obamacare, the Democratic senators say the levy will cost jobs — in a statement Monday, Sen. Al Franken called it a “job-killing tax” — and also impair American competitiveness in the medical device field.
The senators, who made the request in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, are Franken, Richard Durbin, Charles Schumer, Patty Murray, John Kerry, Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar, Joseph Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Robert Casey, Debbie Stabenow, Barbara Mikulski, Kay Hagan, Herb Kohl, Jeanne Shaheen, and Richard Blumenthal. All voted for Obamacare. (more…)
