Sometimes when you blog, it feels like you’re sitting at your desk beating an old dead horse to death. It seems that even though one wants to talk about the new news of the day, we get bogged down on the same ole, same ole. That is exactly the way my day feels for I’m back on the Obamacare kick.
A quick run - down of the obvious problems, millions have lost their healthcare, their doctors, their hospitals and their Government. They’ve been lied to, cheated and been treated like second rate citizens by Obama and his gophers. But it only gets worse as the days go on…
For days, even months they tried to get on the Obamacare website, but to no avail - they couldn’t even get signed in let alone signed up for healthcare. Finally after a numerous amount of quick fixes and band aids they were able to sign in, sign up and choose a plan that offered benefits they didn’t want or need, high co pay, higher deductibles and a costly monthly insurance premium.
After all of these difficulties they find that the website is very vulnerable full of security flaws and not protected against hackers. Insurers add fuel to the fire informing them they can’t confirm their coverage or show proof of insurance. The consumer isn’t stupid - they know someone has their vital statistics and their money. Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse check some of the State Obamacare sites are in deep “doo doo” too.
Many of the State Obamacare sites are coughing, sputtering, chewing up information and sending consumers to unknown places that has nothing to do with healthcare. Residents in Maryland who tried to access a help desk were routed to a pottery supply store in Seattle. Exchanges in other States aren’t functioning correctly and in the meantime there are many people who no longer have insurance due to the Obamacare tragedy.
Most remember Obama saying, “You’re not going to have anybody getting in between you and your doctor in your decision making.” Now that just so happens to be one more lie from this Nations Dictator.
Section 1311(h)(1)(B) of the health law gives the secretary of Health and Human Services blanket authority to dictate how doctors treat patients. This includes people who are paying for their own healthcare plan and as we speak “they” (whoever the heck they are) are writing the rules for how physicians will care for their patients.
So let’s get this straight now, we had our insurance and physicians stolen from us and forced to get a Government healthcare plan whether we like it or not and some “A- - hole” in Health and Human Services is dictating what a physician can or can’t do when offering healthcare to us.
Let’s not forget the IRS “death panel” who will decide if we are eligible for treatment, how we will be treated and when we will be treated. Right now IRS is begging for some training – they don’t understand medical terminology, nor do they know specifically what they were hired to do for Obama and Sebelius. Guess IRS could get a few pointers from Rahm Emanuel’s brother, Ezekiel Emanuel– the Doctor creep that helped create this healthcare monster.
Sounds like Socialized medicine to me folks – plan and simple the Dictator did it to us again. He stole our stimulus money, our jobs, our healthcare, our freedoms, millions probably on the verge of billions to create a healthcare law that we didn’t want from the “gecko.”
But the clincher is this as Charles Krauthammer explains – hidden in the deep dark pages of Obamacare is a neat little guarantee written for insurers. Charles said, “that buried deep in the Affordable Care Act is a “large government bailout” to cover up to 80 percent as insurance company losses.” Redistribution just crossed our empty plates again Americans.

Redistribution - Stealing From the Taxpayers
Obama’s “Promise Zones” – Election Year Wealth Redistribution Scheme
The big question for Americans – how do we stop the bloody spending by Obama, Democrats and Republicans? Here’s a brief preview of the past five years and a glimpse of the future.
So much for our daily dose of lies from Obama, his administration and the Liberal News media – as a Nation we the people deserve some respect, honesty and solutions for major problems. While we sit here suffering the headlines today tout that half of Congressional Lawmakers are millionaires, some actually acquired their money legitimately via investments or personal businesses.
There are many, in Congress who use their position merely to pad their pockets, enjoy the Government perks and live high on the hog off of taxpayer’s money and draw a sizeable lifetime retirement. They’re not worth their salt and definitely are a detriment to Americans and America. I refer to them as “Leeches,” the ones who just go along for a free ride on taxpayer’s money.
Look at Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the Liberals – they’re the perfect “Stereotypes of Socialism” for a Government gone bad. They don’t give a “d---“about their Country – in fact they don’t give a “damn” about the poverty stricken, African Americans who are struggling or the Hispanics.
They all have one and only one goal in mind – they want to dominate, control and dictate via “Big Government.” They manipulate the news, prepare the canned speeches for the Liberal News Media and give us a dose of the poison tonic called Socialism every day since 2009.
Here are a few examples of their devious techniques and lies that have harmed our children, grandchildren, adult children and all Americans.
*** This only highlights a few of Obama’s insidious behaviors. Below are a few statistics on some of his future plans.
Let’s look at Obama’s new budget presented in April of 2014 – it’s important to realize this budget is an attack on the middle class (the working class.) Although, the budget didn’t pass it gives you a bird’s eye view of Obama and his favorite pet “redistribution.”
He Lied, LIed & Lied Some More
Although he lied about his budget saying, more than $2 in spending cuts for every $1 of new revenue – what a crock. If passed it would have been a huge tax increase – it would increase the deficit a trillion dollars over 10 years. The majority of revenue in his budget would come from increasing the death tax, capping deductions and select exemptions from those making higher incomes along with capping retirement funds.
Although his budget didn’t pass formally it gives Americans an idea of what will happen in the next three years. This is “redistribution” folks any way you slice it. The minimum wage increase is already on the front burner and there’s more to come…
There’s much more, but just a thought about our Government cooking the books. Our actual unemployment figure is between 11 to15 plus % - not even close to the 6.7% Obama and Democrats are crowing about today.
There’s nothing real about the unemployment figures – yet millions of Americans believe it. This just gives a broken down President a trumped up talking point the he and his Democratic friends will beat to death. It includes those who are only working part-time jobs, which happens to be close to 8 million – in fact according to Huff Post 75% of all jobs in 2013 were part time jobs. It doesn’t include those who’ve dropped off and no longer looking for employment.
So when you hear Obama and the Democrats raving over the unemployment figure – you know they lie through their teeth. Figure for yourself only 74,000 new jobs in December meaning approximately 55,000 were part time and probably seasonal jobs also. Obama’s first term was nothing more than destruct, destroy and redistribute.
Take the unbridled spending by Obama since 2009, the stringent EPA regulations which closed businesses down and restricted job growth, the huge increase in the entitlement society, the illegals making themselves comfortable utilizing all of our resources, the hanky-panky with the Muslim Brotherhood (Which is costly) and the greatest leech of all Obamacare.
Obamacare, nothing is free – someone has to pay for it (taxpayers.) It won’t save families 2500 a year in premium cost, some premiums have doubled or even tripled in cost along with higher co – payments and deductions. Can’t keep your doctor, specialist or medical team and can’t keep your insurer. It’s a costly scam that will eliminate jobs and be devastating to consumers.
*** This is just a glimpse of 5 years of Redistribution increasing the National Deficit over 17 trillion dollars add another 3 years of Redistribution and in all likelihood our Nation will be on the verge of crumpling. Current predictions are by 2016 our National Debt will surpass 20 trillion dollars. Republicans are in control of our money need I say more?

DO YOU KNOW WHO IS REPRESENTING YOU?
How many members of the U.S. Congress are also members of the DSA?
How many of the DSA members sit on the Judiciary Committee?
How Many Members Of The U.S. Congress
Are Self-Declared Socialists?
Updated for the 111th Congress
The following FAQ will help clarify a few facts:
Q: What is the Socialist International?
A: It is the worldwide organization of socialist, social democratic and labor parties. It currently brings together 131 political parties and organizations from all continents. Its origins go back to the early international organizations of the labor movement of the last century.* It has existed in its present form since 1951, when it was re-established at the Frankfurt Congress. They are now headquartered in London, England.
* In 1864, representatives of English and French industrial workers founded the International Workingmen's Association in London. Karl Marx, who was living in London at the time, became the First International's dominant figure. Marx's doctrines were revived in the 20th century by Russian revolutionary Vladimir Ilich Lenin, who developed and applied them – and we all know that what was started as a labor movement ended up as the biggest totalitarian/communist state, i.e., the USSR.
