With the revelation of the DOJ/IRS assault upon the privacy and private lives of We The People, we have come upon the driving force behind obamacare, and the continued moves to destroy the 2nd amendment…Control.

They are ‘hunting’ us.
They are pursuing us.
They are watching and listening.
They are keeping track.
…and they believe they are entitled to do so.

They care not for your rights.
They laugh at your insistence of due process.

Just today, the DOJ insinuated that Social Media Posts Trashing Muslims May Violate Civil Rights.

Hmmm…I wonder if they mean something like this:

Ahh but I digress…

We’re continually lied to and told such things as “it was only a few rogue IRS employees at one office”. But then, news like this comes to light: Nearly 90 IRS employees involved in scandal.

90.

Oh well…What’s a couple platoon’s between friends, huh?

In any event, this much is clear:
We should study history — the governments of many a country have gone down this same road, and ended up belly up,…Or much worse.

We should familiarize ourselves with OUR history — there was a clear reason why our Founding Fathers found it necessary to do what they did. The evils of their time finally became insufferable.

We should get to know those citizens who lived through the Revolution — learning from their experiences about being hounded by a King and his ‘court jesters’.

And above all else…We should be prepared…For the full implementation of obamacare, and the continued attacks upon our constitutional right to defend ourselves from attack.

Resist their BS.
Stand strong.
Stay aware, and stay involved.

Don’t give up. Don’t give in.
And when they attempt to “get in (your) face”…Hock up a good loogey, and spit in their eye.

Now THIS is “hope and change”…

(Hat-tip: Ed Morrissey @ Hotair)

A decision by the Supreme Court this morning opens up a potential new avenue of attack against ObamaCare on the grounds of religious liberty — and not just the HHS contraception mandate. . The court overturned the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by Liberty University over the health-system overhaul, in a move that was not opposed by the Obama administration in court:

(…)

Why didn’t the White House oppose LU’s motion? The timing issue is now largely moot, thanks to that 5-4 decision that upheld the individual mandate as a tax. The lawsuit would have been refiled shortly in any case, which would have only provided a slight delay to the inevitable.

This lawsuit differs from the previous cases used by the Supreme Court to determine the constitutionality of the law. None of the earlier plaintiffs brought up the religious-liberty issue, in large part because HHS hadn’t formulated its arrogant posture that the government can define religious expression. With the HHS contraception mandate now in place, the violation of the First Amendment has now become concrete, and the courts will soon have to decide just how to square the language that that clearly stipulates that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” with the HHS regulation that attempts to restrict religious exercise to only within the walls of a church, synagogue, or temple.

(Read the whole thing at the link above…)

Inch by inch…Step by step…We need to keep fighting against this bad law. Not only on the grounds of religious Liberty, but on every other ground possible. And it will NOT happen if we don’t stay in this fight. From defunding, to non-implementation by states, employers and other health groups and organizations…This law needs to be shredded out of existence.

For the next 4 years, we do what we can, where we can, when we can, quickly & effectively…And then move on to the next battle, making our way to the next round of mid-terms in 2014.

Stay aware and stay involved.

“Lying liars and the liars who lie to them”….Something like that, ay?

Too many times throughout this administration, they’ve lied to us.

Like about the costs, conditions and supposed benefits of ‘obamacare’…Things we are just starting to find out aren’t true. Like the fact that health premiums are up $3,000, after obama vowed $2,500 CUT. Or the fact that the ‘obamacare’ tax penalty will hit nearly 6 MILLION uninsured people – the VERY PEOPLE the program claims to help. Here’s just a snip of that 2nd article (from the AP):

Tax penalty to hit nearly 6M uninsured people
By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR, Associated Press – Sep 19, 2012

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 6 million Americans — significantly more than first estimated— will face a tax penalty under President Barack Obama’s health overhaul for not getting insurance, congressional analysts said Wednesday. Most would be in the middle class.

The new estimate amounts to an inconvenient fact for the administration, a reminder of what critics see as broken promises.

The numbers from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office are 50 percent higher than a previous projection by the same office in 2010, shortly after the law passed. The earlier estimate found 4 million people would be affected in 2016, when the penalty is fully in effect.

That’s still only a sliver of the population, given that more than 150 million people currently are covered by employer plans. Nonetheless, in his first campaign for the White House, Obama pledged not to raise taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 a year and couples making less than $250,000.

And the budget office analysis found that nearly 80 percent of those who’ll face the penalty would be making up to or less than five times the federal poverty level. Currently that would work out to $55,850 or less for an individual and $115,250 or less for a family of four.

I encourage you to read the whole thing. Those bolded parts above are just highlights of this absurdity.

So, he lies about ‘obamacare’, and doesn’t care about getting caught in the lie.
Nothing says arrogance and narcissism quite like that.

But most recently, the lies about the Benghazi terror attack on 09/11/12 are nothing short of despicable.

First we get, and at times are still getting: “No no! This was sparked by a riot, caused by a horrid movie trailer about slander against the prophet mohammed”. Then the TRUTH started to roll out, and is ADMITTED TO, by members of this administration…Yes, it was planned…Yes, it was al-queda…Yes, we were warned…Yes, Amb. Stevens had been worried…Yes, they had little to no protection…YES, THE ADMINISTRATION KNEW WITHIN 24 HOURS THAT THIS WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK, WELL PLANNED, WELL ORCHESTRATED, CONNECTED TO AL-QUEDA — AND YET PUSHED OUT A COVER STORY ABOUT A STUPID MOVIE TRAILER THAT **NO ONE** KNEW ABOUT UNTIL THEY PUSHED IT TO THE FOREFRONT!!

Yesterday, Special Report detailed an up-to-date extensive time line of events from the Benghazi attack to now. (Link courtesy of RightScoop).

Watch the report. It will blow your mind to realize just how easily and how viciously this administration will lie to us all, without batting an eye. They believe we are fools. They believe we are “tools”, and that they can lie to us, and we’ll never figure it out, because We The People don’t care and aren’t aware. We will simply “buy” what this administration “sells” to us, because we’re not smart enough to figure it out.

And in the process…They are losing folks within their own base. Example: Over at HotAir, they have a post up regarding Kirsten Powers saying: More Americans will be put in danger if the media doesn’t start challenging the White House on Libya. She couldn’t be more right if she tried.

It’s one thing to know they’ll like about ‘obamcare’…A governmental take-over of more of your LIBERTY. But, now they are willfully and blatantly lying about what essentially comes down to…The security of our nation and its citizens.

How’s that “hope and change” feelin’ now?
Why don’t we ask Amb. Stevens? Oh wait…We can’t. He’s dead, along with Brian Terry.

Sarah Palin is fond of saying (and I may be paraphrasing here): “You don’t retreat, you reload”.

I’ve got a few comments on the goings-on around us, and I will try to put them into some coherent order below. As you can imagine, while this news sinks in, thoughts tend to ramble, so…Just fair warning.

I’ve spent the past two days in my own personal “fog”, trying to decipher how a man supposedly as smart as John Roberts could fall for the threats that came from the White House in those early days after the case had been argued. But, as we all know, some men are weaker than others, and if he was “looking out for his legacy”, he’s certainly secured one now, ay? Oh and,…Let me just get this out of the way, right up front…Chief Justice John Roberts should be pressured to resign, or simply be impeached. He knows full well that without rewriting the statue, it would’ve failed the constitutionality test. Yet, I believe, because of the threats coming out of the White House in early days after the case had been argued, he caved. It was one of the most egregious moves ever made by a Chief, and one that should never be allowed to happen without serious consequences, such as resignation or impeachment.

I saw a clip from David Axelrod yesterday, on the “Today” show, arguing that although the SCOTUS labeled this a “tax”, it is not. He claims it’s a “penalty”. In this piece (written by Mary Bruce from ABC OTUS news), both Jay Carney and Axelrod speak nearly the same statement on the subject:
(snips)

“For those who can afford health insurance but choose to remain uninsured, forcing the rest of us to pay for their care, a penalty is administered as part of the Affordable Care Act,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One today.

(…)

“Whether you call it a mandate or tax, what it is is a penalty on the very few Americans who don’t – who can afford health care, don’t pay for it, end up in our emergency rooms getting free care and then we all pay for it in the form of premiums,” Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod said this morning on NBC’s ‘Today’ Show.

Both of them are simply following their boss, who’s said time and time again, that this is not a “tax”.

If we follow this ill-conceived logic to it’s natural end, what they are saying is that those who make enough money to be able to purchase insurance on their own are supposedly heading to emergency rooms in droves, demanding care, and then never paying for it, which then shifts the financial burden to tax payers.

Really?

So, it’s NOT the poor, the elderly or the young, without health insurance, who cannot afford it, who are heading to the ER’s across the nation, seeking care???? REALLY???? HAS THIS ADMINISTRATION EVEN STOPPED FOR ONE BRIEF MOMENT TO LOOK UPON EXACTLY WHO IT IS IN THOSE ER’S ACROSS THE COUNTRY??!! It’s the very people they (and their party) have always claimed they want to help. The poor, the elderly, the young…And THEY will be the hardest hit if/when this law is allowed to be enacted, in full, within the next 2 years.

I’ll tell you why they are ‘running’ with this BS. They don’t like the fact that those who can afford insurance, but simply choose not to purchase it, cannot be tracked through the system. They want to keep tabs on as many people as possible, no matter what their problem or concern. Don’t believe me? Here’s one for ya: I was told by my local unemployment office that although I don’t qualify for unemployment benefits, I need to keep reporting my job search to them. Why would anyone do that? Why would they even ask? BECAUSE THEY WANT TO KEEP TABS ON ME! Oh and, if you must know the answer…No, I don’t report my job search to them. I don’t report anything about my job situation to them. They can suck it.

In the mean time, there is a real and palpable human cost to all of this that cannot be over-looked, and should become the primary focus of the entire aftermath. The folks over at Townhall have put together a piece that outlines this, in stark terms, for all to see. Click on over there and read/watch. It’s worth your time.

I read a quote from Rush Limbaugh yesterday too. He said (in part):

“If the whole thing ends up back at the Supreme Court someday, we know all bets are off, because nothing matters anymore. There is no standard. There is no firewall. There’s no backstop. There is no alarm. There is no 911. There’s nowhere to go.”

Come on Rush – you know as well as I do — WE THE PEOPLE are that “firewall”!! Think Boston, 1773!! Seriously, if the possibility of open Revolution hasn’t yet sunk in, in the minds of many a Patriot, I’d be highly shocked. Rush is right…Love him or hate him, he’s right. If November goes bad, what have we left to guard us from all out governmental tyranny??!!

Remember those pitch-forks and torches I mentioned a few posts ago? Keep ‘em handy.
Things could get “real” at any time. Obama, and government as a whole, have just been given a wide path to complete control over our lives.

He said the mandate “is not a tax“.

He said “Health Care Should ‘Never Be Purchased With Tax Increases On Middle Class Families“.

He’s said alot of things, hasn’t he?
And many people have, and continue, to believe him, don’t they?

Too bad the SCOTUS doesn’t.

Know who else shouldn’t believe him? Families making UNDER $250,000 a year.
Why? Read:
(snip)

The high court’s ruling leaves in place 21 tax increases in the health-care law costing more than $675 billion over the next 10 years, according to the House Ways and Means Committee. Of those, 12 tax hikes would affect families earning less than $250,000 per year, the panel said, including a “Cadillac tax” on high-cost insurance plans, a tax on insurance providers, and an excise tax on medical device manufacturers.

“This is a clear violation of the president’s pledge to avoid tax hikes on low- and middle-income taxpayers,” said a statement from the panel, which is chaired by Rep. Dave Camp, Michigan Republican.

Do you believe him now?
Facts are stubborn things. If you’re more interested in facts, instead of what makes you ‘feel good’, you’ll do your own research, and find out the truth. Barack Obama took a big ol’ dump on middle class families, who now know the truth — the mandate IS a tax, and THEY will be paying it.
