REIDTAXINGREID??

Reid said Rich people want to pay more taxes...Theirs or yours?...Like Michelle O. Gone Wild?...
Just received the following...
 Just think,  Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing China for
the White House during the Civil War.
        And Mamie Eisenhower had to shell out the salary for her personal
secretary from her husband's salary.
        Total Personal Staff members for other first ladies paid by taxpayers:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:
      Mamie Eisenhower:  *One -- paid for personally out of President's

        How things have changed!  If you're one of the tens of millions of
Americans facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages
stocking the shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers,
prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for
these servants of MS Michelle are the same as members of the national
security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is
paid by YOU, John Q. Public:****

A Tale of Two Prejudices Against Black People

Some folks have been raised on old wives tales warning all Black people are savages- big surprise I'm sure!

I call that "the Old Prejudice. "

My primary concern is combating what I term, " the New Prejudice, " based not on old wives tales but on present, mass marketed dysfunction in the Black community. 

Ever-increasing violence and vulgarity not only performed by, but also proudly promoted, by some Black folks provides ample justification for the New Prejudice.

An overlooked demographic are Black people themselves, who are violently opposed to this ever-increasing mass marketing of Black violence and vulgarity as if it's our state-of-the-art???

As I witnessed this past Saturday, even some ex-offenders are holding peers to this high standard in programs throughout America! They tell those adhering to this violent, vulgar dynamic how stupid they're being- something Black America culturally should be bellowing to this group!

In the 21st Century, a New Prejudice against the actual, not imagined, violence and vulgarity of a dysfunctional percentage of my community isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I type this fully cognizant of the fact that within any prejudice lies a slippery slope to institutional oppression and even genocide.

That's said, within it also lies fertile ground for a multi-ethic coalition which can not only drive the final stake through the heart of the Old Prejudice but also shorten the popularity of rogue actions creating the New Prejudice.

Black people who don't make excuses for criminals and degenerates who happen to resemble them form the vanguard of a frank civic discussion which can make a safer America once all sides honestly unite against this threat on her streets.

As a life long inner city resident and anti crime activist, I cannot accept being a de facto hostage to Black thugs; their enablers in office or holding bull horns or police who see law abiding and thug  alike as one in the same.

This tale of two prejudices only has a happy ending once we who are closest to the cause of the New Prejudice admit that ever-increasingly violent and vulgar Black people are not victims of racism, are morally equivalent to 1960s civil rights marchers and are the enemy of all citizenship gains to date.

Absent this admission, the New Prejudice in this digital age can mutate into a racism which could put even the Old Prejudice to shame.

Against such odds, can American Blacks who respect themselves and others dare remain silent?

I think not.

Dirty Little Secrets: Amnesty for dummies.

     Lots of dirty little secrets out there.  Amnesty for illegal aliens has it's own.  

     Call them border crashers, Illegals, an invasion force, or whatever you will.  Illegal immigration is a big problem, and a huge burden on an already overloaded system of giveaways.  One of the problems with waving the magic wand and calling them U.S. citizens is a little bit of elfin magic.  You see, some employers out there are telling us that they are doing the jobs that Americans won't do.  This is, really, a misnomer.  Americans WOULD do these jobs if they paid at least the minimum wage.  

     The dirty little secret is, that, if the illegals are made citizens, you now have to pay these new citizens minimum wage, and they become a NEW group of Americans that won't (and legally can't) do these jobs for sub minimum salary.  Now we have to get a whole new group of illegals to do the work the old ones will no longer do for 2 bucks an hour.

     Should we still wish to make our un-documented fellow citizens legally citizens, we would find ourselves with a new crop in short order.

     I think the government should; first, start enforcing the laws that we have (not ignore the pleas of states like Arizona) and secondly, ensure the borders are secure.  We seem to have a catch and release policy, these days, with a minimum of deportations.  I would have thought we would have built the border fence first.  It is federal law, after all, that they build it.  All the bricks that were mailed to the house and senate, a few years ago, should have been a clue.

Tesla On Fire, Again

Yahoo Auto News is reporting that second Tesla car has caught fire:

The first fire in a Tesla Model S earlier this month brought about all the expected reactions; a steep sell-off by Wall Street in its volatile shares, followed by a spirited defense of electric vehicle technology from Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Last week, U.S. auto safety officials said they agreed with Musk's assessment that the fire was due to road debris, and said no official investigation was necessary — a fairly typical step given that NHTSA only investigates a fraction of the 180,000 vehicle fires in the United States every year.

So what to make of the second report of a Tesla Model S crashing and catching fire, in far different circumstances?

Unearthed by Axis of Oversteer, the crash happened Oct. 18 in Merida, a city in the northern Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. According to local news reports, the Tesla was speeding through a roundabout at 4 a.m. when it hit a raised pedestrian crossing and briefly took flight before crashing into a wall and tree. The driver and perhaps a couple of passengers quickly left the scene, leaving the Tesla to burn for several minutes before firefighters arrived. (Warning: if you understand Spanish, there's some rough language in the video below).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCn1CufaCYc

As the video shows, the Model S burns freely, and in doing so sends off a couple secondary explosions before firefighters arrive to douse the flames. The fire appears more intense than the one in Washington State earlier this month, although it does stay contained to the front of the vehicle, which comports with Musk's assertions that the firewalls in the Model S battery compartment underneath the car keep flames from spreading.

Tesla says it's been in touch with the driver who fled the scene, and he's ready to get behind the wheel again:

We were able to contact the driver quickly and are pleased that he is safe. This was a significant accident where the car was traveling at such a high speed that it smashed through a concrete wall and then hit a large tree, yet the driver walked away from the car with no permanent injury. He is appreciative of the safety and performance of the car and has asked if we can expedite delivery of his next Model S.

Given the reported severity of the crash, a fire would have been likely from a gas-powered vehicle, and the fact the driver was able to flee does speak to the Tesla's crashworthiness. But the Model S remains rare enough, and first responders' experience with lithium-ion battery fires limited enough, that it will take several more cases before such events lose their notoriety.

Time to Sever ties?

Political comprises make me the most uncomfortable that a solution has actually not been reached.  For the last four and half years, compromises have been a delay or a cave for conservatives.  Tolerance has been a bitter pill for one side and a disguise for the other. 

Now, America, has reached the fork in the road of political, social and economic abyss.  Neither Democratic nor Republican has the determination to stand back and review the unintended consequences of the spending, legislation, pejorative attitude to the constitution and social bigotry, while encouraging the opposite. Since the leadership of both parties has capitulated to business as usual, it is time to look for new leadership to represent the forgotten population who has been defrauded for over a decade or more. 

Third parties have come and gone throughout the history of the United States.  However, the most successful have rallied to causes that eventually defined America.  The Republican Party was one such party that amalgamated for the abolition of slavery.

The Republican Party organized from discontented Whigs, Democrats and Free Soil faithful.  The beginning of the movement was met with ridicule and misinformation.  Southern Democrats were threatened by the notion to abolish their economic and social way of life, and the northern Democrats and Whigs had nobility like leadership that legislated compromises, such as the Nebraska Kansas act and the compromise of 1850, which did nothing but kick the can down road. 

A civil war may not have been averted, but only one group actually stood for something and ran on a platform that looked at the future of America, not to keep their seats in Congress.  The party platforms of the Whigs and the Democrats did not address the slavery problem that divided America.  The Democrats won the White House and America cut itself perilously deeper.  America was divided among social, economic and political trenches, much like America is divided today.

A radical approach to mending the divisions would come from such radicals as Abraham Lincoln.  Lincoln ran for the Senate in Illinois in 1858.  His Democratic opponent was Stephen Douglas, whom I would describe as a Washingtonian, with autocratic ideals and solutions.  Lincoln lost to Douglas.  Should have the Republican dream and platform, perceived to be radical be abandoned?

Lincoln ran again in 1860, for President and America realized that it had enough of Washington nobility and wanted a leader.

History does repeat itself.

In late October, 1980, I covered a John Anderson rally in North Carolina.  He was an independent for President, running against an incumbent, Jimmy Carter and the Republican, Ronald Reagan.  Anderson, like many of the third party movements in our history, had a vision of the day, instead a vision of tomorrow. 

In our current political climate, we need a vision of tomorrow and an issue that can define a party, like the Republican of 1856. 

Senator Ted Cruz (R Tex) had a host of disapproving critiques, including his own party.  Our current nobility of Washington (which includes both parties) are bearish of challenges to authority and the Washingtonian way of life: of governing.  Unlike many movements that preceded the Tea Party, there is a coherent, organized vision for the future and a predictable consequence while staying on the current path.

The Tea Party is more popular than the combatants will admit.  Polls, cited by the talking heads on the media, refer to the low approval numbers for the Republican Party, but do not reveal the disapproval includes those within the party that would never support progressives from either party.

The filibuster by Senator Cruz was heralded by his critics as a waste of time.  But was it?  Leaders take the lead, despite what detractors try to portray.  It would not be surprising to find that the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party would be viewed as the few that have the credibility and principles to lead.

Therefore, the solution is to forward the agenda that follows the thought of the founding fathers, Abe Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge and Ronald Reagan and reverse the trends of defeatism, dependency and deception and form a party of principle. 

The separation between the United States and the rest of the world is the first ten amendments to the constitution. If those amendments are watered down, the framework of our laws, social and economic structure is also lost.  That is why Obama care is so dangerous.  That is why the National Security Agency (NSA) is so dangerous.  That is why the abuses of the IRS are so dangerous. That is why the freedom of the Press is so important.

4063766540?profile=original Did CGI Federal use White House Insider influence to secure failed Obamacare website contract?

Last Thursday, America was treated to an incredible dodge ball performance by Cheryl Campbell, senior vice president of the Canadian firm CGI Federal which handled website development. She became the latest in a line of private and public officials to not accept responsibility for the gigantic hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars to go down the sinkhole due to the Obamacare site failure. Her firm wrote the code for the website and appears largely responsible for its volcanic systemic. Now the president wants to waste more money yet, the question still remains how CGI Federal ever selected for building the website when it has a history of similar meltdown problems.

It appears that the White House, via Michelle Obama and her connection with former Princeton classmate Toni Townes-Whitley, a senior vice president at CGI Federal may have given her back door access to the apparent no-bid contract. The Daily Caller reported that the purported $678 million website contract went to the Canadian firm, perhaps due to Michelle Obama’s influence.

This deal cheated the nation out of hundreds of millions of dollars in the failed construction. President Obama has not taken the blame for the failure, which one has to has to wonder where are the subpoenas for the documentation of CGI’s other federal and state contracts and projects that the firm has ongoing in the United States. Shouldn’t a financial fiasco so vast warrant more than a casual nod by Obama for his signature legislation?

What is equally troubling is that according to the CGI senior vice president who testified before congress last week, the White House was kept abreast of the possibility that when the website switch was turned on, on October 1st, Millions of Americans would be locked out of it. According to her, the White House knew. So the age old question from Watergate days remains: “What did the president know and when did he know it?”

Are you angry enough yet? You should be!

On Friday, according to Fox News, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is blaming congress for the problems of the website malfunction. This is in response mounting bipartisan calls in congress for her resignation over the website debacle. The nation and many Democrat senators are not taking the bait.

In fact there is mounting support among Democrats in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives to put Obamacare on hold. Democrat senators, Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., Joe Manchin, D-W.Va, Mary Landrieu, D-La., and Kay Hagan, D-N.C., are moving for Obamacare to be delayed in full implementation, suggests Fox News.

PATRIOTS ARE ARISING!

Thanks to groups like “2 Million Bikers to DC,” “Truckers Ride for the Constitution,” & yes the “Tea Party;”  Patriots are arising!  The mainstream media does not like to report it but it our voice is getting so loud that we cannot be denied.  The darkness of our day is giving birth to a new American Revolution.  Sacrifices will be required; hard choices must be made, sides must be taken.  It will require more than the bikers, the truckers, the Tea Party, & these other groups.

For too long, churches & pastors have remained silent.  Many are afraid of losing their tax exempt status or afraid they might offend someone.  It is time that we unite and stand together with one voice and shout loudly that we will not go gently into the dark night.  We must prayerfully & powerfully take our stand together.  We must stand for what is right. It is time for the “Church” to join the battle.  I have spoken with many pastors who agree with me but are afraid of the repercussions if they take this stand.  We must not stand in fear.  In the first American Revolution many preachers & church leaders stood and fought alongside the farmers, politicians, & fellow patriots to win the freedom’s we have enjoyed.  It is time we join our American brothers in this new revolution.

The statement, “Truth, Justice, & the American Way” was born in the Superman Comic Books but should be adopted as the theme of our movement.  I call upon every PATRIOT to arise & make your voices heard.  There will be a cost but we just might save America.  I say; America is worth saving at any cost!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Grayson must be censured.

As you know Congressman Alan Grayson (D-Fl.), made a damning remark about our organization, comapring us to the KKK. Such language wouldn`t be tolerated if Grayson were, say a Republican, so why is it ok  that he`s a liberal Democrat? There`s nothing racist about wanting limited government, lower taxes, & holding our officials (elected or otherwise), accountable to the oath they swore to uphold. Grayson must be censures or given the maximum punishment due an elected official who abuses the power that was given them.

SHUTTING DOWN DISCUSSION IS A SIGN OF TYRANNY

ANTI TEA Party and anti Climate Change dissenter Newspapers? I heard The Dark Secret Place on KFI Los Angeles (FaceBook page) talking about the LA Times will not publish letters to the opinion page dissenting on human caused Climate Change. I believe that the Long Beach Press Telegram is Anti TEA Party. My message to Suits: "RE: Bill Ives 10/22/2013 Obama is pointing fingers – but this time he is right and Paul V. Bouche 10/23/2013 Misleading headline sends the wrong message

These writers could, if the letters section wanted to offer a forum, have a go at sharin g their rationale behind some things which bother this TEA Partier. I believe that Mr. Bouche gives too much credit to his “lazy thinkers” because there is an obvious lack of gathering and vetting information, and analyzing it. The TEA Party has been maligned and provoked but not reacted with the hoped for response projected upon it by the Left which has the 60s radicals revolutionaries deeply entrenched in it.

I need some clarification because this TEA Partier sees those who support the Progressive Agenda as wanting their team leaders to be a ruling class without checks and balances. That indicates to me that they believe that Madison was wrong when he wrote in the Federalist Papers that men are not angels and we need checks and balances or that laws should not be so long that no one reads or understands them. It does not sound like out of date thinking to me. I see in the Democrat voter of today as a confirmation of the validity of the information in KGB defector, Yuri Bezmenov’s 1985 interview.

The Republicans offered several bills which were refused by the Senate. One of those bills required Congress to be covered with Obama Care rather than be exempt from the law which they created. I am a TEA Partier at heart because I believe that a government with too much power is dangerous to personal liberty and a country which does not allow people to enjoy the fruits of their risk and their allocation of time and energy is doomed to join the Collectives throughout history. We see the Executive Branch modifying laws and choosing to enforce or not enforce laws, suing states which pass a law in order to do what the federal government obligated to do, but refuses to do and legally allying with a foreign country against a state in what, pre Obama administration, were the “United” States of America. Governance by fiat is far from our Constitutional Republic’s intended system.I would like to know from these writers:

1. What makes you comfortable supporting a Central Planner who is not accountable and changes the law after it is declared Constitutional because it "is a tax" (jammed through as a budget item using reconciliation because it had to be a budget item, not a tax to pass it using that strategy), but chosen companies and unions and Congress get an exemption from something which was promoted as a “right” and our enjoyment of that right is going to require 16,000 IRS enforcers? Sounds like 1984 Double Speak to me and makes me think that the TEA Party perception is accurate.

2. How do you reconcile the Left’s voter ID opposition because it disenfranchises people with the challenge those same people face with signing up for Obama Care which challenges high powered people? If they are one of the main groups used to justify this federal takeover of American health care, shouldn’t it be easier than obtaining a voter ID? There appears to me to be propaganda campaign to keep the lazy NON thinker in line.

3. How do you explain the huge increase in welfare and poverty during the Obama administration in spite of huge capital sitting ready if the risk-reward analysis warrants an investment? The suppression of full time employment is partially due to Obama Care which is detrimental to companies with over 50 employees. FDR’s treasury secretary testified that they had failed to make good on their promises and had a huge debt to boot. Our fellow Americans who want to work are being held back by the Central Planners hand around the throat of small business. There is a happy Big Business – DC alliance that is doing fine, but the little people are going wanting and the NOT lazy thinker sees that part time employees, people who gave up looking and people getting out of the work force early skews the numbers giving US a better than what is real picture with the numbers that are reported. FDR had to hand off to private enterprise and let the American private enterprise system show the capability of American free enterprise. Crony Capitalism which we have is a Collective suppressing US and the numbers confirm it.

This TEA Partier thinks that we had better get the American working class back active before we lose what we had when FDR made the wise decision to win the war by backing off the intellectuals maintaining restrictive controls and prolonging a bad economy. Thomas Sowell has written several essays about the detrimental effect of unaccountable intellectuals and society and the Professors Lounge mentality compared to the "nothing but an actor" Reagan mentality results brings to mind, “There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.” -- George Orwell

American People Oppose "Video Game Control"

A simple truth about politicians is they can’t leave well enough alone.  When incidents of tragedy happen, they look for “solutions” even when none exist.  That’s what happened when President Obama and a handful of members of both political parties suggested that government study the impact of video games and violence.
 
The president directed the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to spend 10 million taxpayer dollars on a study.  That study will pile on top of dozens of other existing studies when it is completed — the vast majority showing no link between video games and real life violence.  While the politicos look for something or someone to blame, the commonsense of the people already seems to know the answer.
 
New research and polling by Dr. Dr. Andrew Przybylski of Oxford University and YouGov.com asked Americans to discuss three critical questions regarding video games and violence:
 
1) Do video games contribute to mass shootings;

2) Are video games a useful outlet for frustrations and aggression; and

3) Should Congress enact new legislation to restrict the availability of games.

Not surprisingly, Americans distrust and opposition to big government "easy" answers came through loud and clear.

When asked whether video games contribute to incidents of mass violence, by a 59-41% margin, Americans  said NO.

When asked whether games are a useful outlet for anger and frustration, by a 71% to 29% margin, Americans said YES.

And when asked whether the government should intervene and restrict video games, Americans responded with a resounding NO — again by a 71 to 29% margin.

This data flies on the face of the politicians whose knee jerk reactions late last year was more government; more regulations and less freedom.  Even some conservatives like Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) said ”Put guns on the table, also put video games on the table, put mental health on the table" in response to invidents of violence.

Dick Heller, the famous plaintiff in the District of Columbia vs. Heller case that liberalized gun laws in Washington, DC and confirmed the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms has recently spoken out against efforts to get the government involved in what he called “virtual gun control.”

For generations, a growing number of Americans have pledged that the government can get their guns only from their “cold dead hands.”  Now it seems clear that a growing number of Americans feel the same way about their video game controllers.

It appears the ACA is unconstitutional

28 October 2013

 

The Honorable Congressman Smith

The Honorable Senator Cornyn

The Honorable Senator Cruz

 

Good morning Gentlemen!

 

On this bright Monday morning I have a question I would ask you ask yourselves...... once you have the answer, what comes next appears to be obvious and unavoidable... the only way to fix this is remove it.

 

The "version" of the Affordable Care Act (ACA, obamacare) that became Law originated in the Senate.

 

Chief Justice Roberts clearly stated the ACA was "constitutional" as a TAX (not healthcare).

 

The Constitution of the United States clearly tells us that the House holds the purse strings, controls funding - and is able to tax.... The SENATE is incapable of creating a TAX according to law.

 

The question to ask yourselves is this: Since the Senate version of the ACA is what became Law - Chief Justice Roberts said the ACA is a TAX - and only the House can create a tax....

Why does the ACA continue to exist - as it is an unconstitutional mandate from a government body unauthorized to do what was done. Yet signed by all......................

 

Respectfully,

Well folks, how does it feel to be called stupid, crazy, extremist, racist and terrorist for standing firm for values and principles which most Americans have held and continue to hold dear? Such are the rantings coming from liberal media and Washington elites about the Tea Party.

Word on the political street is GOP polling has tanked because they foolishly listened to the wacko Tea Party lead by toxic idiots Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Sarah Palin.

So to win an approving pat on the head from DC elites and the liberal media, conservative politicians and the Tea Party must offer their unconditional surrender to Obama's socialist/progressive fundamental transformation of America agenda. And for good measure, the Tea Party must abandon their friends Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Sarah Palin; burning them in effigy.

Regrettably, too many politicians on our side have drank the kool-aid, abandoning Conservatism in hope of winning a little love from liberals.

4063766278?profile=originalThis is why Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli's rock-solid conservative platform is extremely courageous.


Readers of my articles are well aware of how much I believe character matters when electing leaders. Awarding great power to someone who lacks a conscience is insane. Had the liberal media paid more attention to Obama's character rather than insisting that his skin-color exempts him from the standard vetting process, America would not be in a mess which threatens the vision of our founding fathers.

For those of you who still think character does not matter, check out this list of ways Obama tried to inflict unnecessary pain on the American people; using them as mere pawns, acceptable collateral damage in his vendetta to destroy his Nemesis the Republicans and the Tea Party.

Despite all the bad press, and the Administration along with their liberal media cheering section all pounding on their chests in victory like King Kong, the Cruz, Lee and Palin revolt against Obamacare reignited the Tea Party. Patriots are fired up!

Electing Ken Cuccinelli governor of Virginia will be another desperately needed fighter on the front-lines to stop Obamacare.


Fighting Obamacare from the beginning, Cuccinelli was the FIRST Attorney General in the nation to file a lawsuit to have ObamaCare ruled unconstitutional by the courts.

Cuccinelli's stellar political record speaks for itself. Here are a few little known facts which further illustrate the character of the man.

Thomas Haynesworth is a wrongfully accused black man who spent 27 years in jail for 3 rapes. New DNA testing technology proved Hayesworth innocent of one of the rapes and revealed the guilt of a look-a-like. No DNA was available from the other two rapes. Upon reviewing the evidence, Cuccinelli believed Haynesworth was innocent and went to bat for him which won Governor McDonnell's support for Haynesworth's parole. However, Haynesworth would still be branded as a registered sex offender and have to report to a parole officer.

Such injustice was unacceptable to Cuccinelli. Again, he went to bat for Haynesworth by going to the VA Court of Appeals and argued Haynesworth’s innocence. The Court of Appeals found Haynesworth innocent of the two crimes, despite the lack of DNA evidence.


But wait, but wait, how could this tale of compassion and determination to seek justice for an innocent black man be true? Haven't we been told that all white conservative Republicans are secretly members of the KKK?

With the Virginia election for governor less than two weeks away, the Democrats continue to spend millions spreading lies about Cuccinelli. One such lie claims Cuccinelli is anti-woman. The truth is the polar opposite. Cuccinelli opposes the numerous infringements on our constitutional freedoms built in Obamacare which includes forcing taxpayers to fund abortions; government mandated betrayal of citizens religious convictions. Liberals have despicably spun his opposition to Obamacare to mean he hates women.

The truth is, Ken Cuccinelli has a proven track record of heroic advocacy for women. While in college at UVA, Cuccinelli was moved by a sexual assault on a female fellow student. He and a few others started a sexual assault awareness program; The Sexual Assault Fact and Education (SAFE) group.


Sex trafficking of young girls is growing rapidly in Virginia and throughout America. As Attorney General, Cuccinelli started from the ground up to make the VA AG’s office the center hub of efforts, working with law enforcement agencies across VA to crack down on sex trafficking.


So here we go again folks, a real stand up guy fighting for the rights of We The People being trashed by the Democrats and their media buddies; attempting to Cruz, Lee and Palin him as yet another Conservative nut case.

Please do not allow them to get away with it. This time, let's make sure the good guy wins.

Ken Cuccinelli for governor Virginia.

Political oppression and ambition are nothing new. I found the following passage from a play on Cato the Elder to be pertinent:

 

Cato.

Let not a torrent of impetuous zeal

Transport thee thus beyond the bounds of reason:

True fortitude is seen in great exploits

That justice warrants, and that wisdom guides,

All else is towering phrenzy and distraction.

Are not the lives of those who draw the sword

In Rome's defence intrusted to our care!

Should we thus lead them to a field of slaughter,

Might not the impartial world with reason say

We lavish'd at our death the blood of thousands,

To grace our fall, and make our ruin glorious!

Lucius, we next would know what's your opinion?



Lucius.

My thoughts, I must confess, are turn'd on peace.

Already have our quarrels fill'd the world

With widows and with orphans: Scythia morns

Our guilty wars, and earth's remotest regions

Lie half unpeopled by the feuds of Rome:

'Tis time to sheath the sword, and spare mankind.

It is not Caesar, but the gods, my fathers,

The gods declare against us, and repel

Our vain attempts.  To urge the foe to battle,

(Prompted by blind revenge and wild despair)

Were to refuse th' awards of Providence,

And not to rest in heaven's determination.

Already have we shown our love to Rome,

Now let us show submission to the gods.

We took up arms, not to revenge ourselves,

But free the commonwealth; when this end fails,

Arms have no farther use; our country's cause,

That drew our swords, now wrests them from our hands,

And bids us not delight in Roman blood

Unprofitably shed; what men could do

Is done already: heaven and earth will witness,

If Rome must fall, that we are innocent.



Sempronius.

This smooth discourse and mild behaviour oft

Conceal a traitor — something whispers me

All is not right — Cato, beware of Lucius.

[Aside to Cato.

Cato.

Let us appear not rash nor diffident:

Immoderate valour swells into a fault,

And fear, admitted into public counsels,

Betrays like treason.  Let us shun them both.

Fathers, I cannot see that our affairs

Are grown thus desperate.  We have bulwarks round us:

Within our walls are troops inured to toil

In Afric's heats, and season'd to the sun;

Numidia's spacious kingdom lies behind us,

Ready to rise at its young prince's call.

While there is hope, do not distrust the gods;

But wait at least till Caesar's near approach

Force us to yield.  'Twill never be too late

To sue for chains, and own a conqueror.

Why should Rome fall a moment ere her time!

No, let us draw her term of freedom out

In its full length, and spin it to the last,

So shall we gain still one day's liberty;

And let me perish, but in Cato's judgment,

A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty,

Is worth a whole eternity in bondage.

Negative Effects of Obamacare

4063766216?profile=original

In order to pay for Obamacare, Medicare cuts have begun to decimate the hospitals' bottom lines throughout the country. It is like a Domino effect. First we see businesses laying off people or reducing working hours. Next, we see the failed rollout of this atrocious health program. Now we learn that in order to pay for Obamacare, the Us government is removing funding from Medicare. And so the next Domino falls:

Hospitals, a reliable source of employment growth in the recession and its aftermath, are starting to cut thousands of jobs amid falling insurance payments and in-patient visits. So far this year, the health care sector has announced 41,085 layoffs, the third-most behind financial and industrial companies.

Total private hospital employment is down by 8,000 since April and more staff reductions are expected into next year. This month, Indiana University Health laid off about 900 workers as part of a move to trim its budget by $1 billion over five years. Vanderbilt plans to eliminate 1,000 jobs by year-end to help shave operating costs 8% a year. And the Cleveland Clinic is offering buyouts to 3,000 employees as it shaves its annual operating costs by $330 million.

Let me ask one intelligent question. Has Obamacare done anything positive for our country or economy? Has the tax issued to those not wanting to purchase it yielded any negligible financial benefit to the country? The answer is a definite no. Plus, the aftershocks of the rollout will prove more detrimental by the day. Now you realize why Senator Cruz is fighting do hard to defund it. If people would just wake up and learn what Obama is doing, we could defund this financial disaster.

Questions for Sebellious

I sent this to Rep. Fred Upton, Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

I understand that Sebellious will testify there this week.

I encourage you to share it with your public servants.

The Healthcare Website NO-BID Contract

This is from a web blog. Sebellious needs to be questioned in depth about it.

This is against federal procurement law. Under Federal Law 42 USC § 6962 - Federal procurement, they must comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) the set of regulations governing ALL acquisitions and contracting procedures in the Federal government.
Subchapter A contains four parts and the topics covered are a description of the Federal Acquisition Regulations Systems, definitions, improper practices and CONFLICT OF INTEREST and administrative matters.

Subchapter B covers the procedures for helping ensure procurements are fair, open and to the benefit of the government.

Subchapter C states that contracting methods and contract types section covers the various types of procurements, contract types, special acquisition methods and emergency acquisitions. Simplified acquisition procedures are used for purchases typically under $150,000 in value and these are set aside for small businesses. Sealed bidding is used for purchases that will be decided primarily based on price. Contracting by negotiation is used for other acquisitions particularly ones that involve selection by non-price concerns such as experience, design and schedule.

Although this site is for the Department of Defense, it applies to all Federal organizations:
