I can't sit idle and silent on the great "budget deal" reached in Congress.
So, they've agreed to cut $23 billion from the proposed growth in government spending over the next 10 years.
The federal budget is $3.8 Trillion, with a deficit of $642 Billion. Total debt is #17.3 Trillion, 2013 annual revenues were $2.8 Trillion.
Put into terms of a household, minus a bunch of zeros:
If your family was $170,000 in debt, with an annual income of $28,000 and going further into debt by about $650 - $1000 a year. Then, your spouse comes to you and says, "Hey, honey, good news,, I was planning on borrowing another $700 next year without paying off any of our debt, but instead, we're only going to go into debt by $697.70!!" Just how excited would you be?
This is crazy. When are we really going to take a stand against Big Government? Its so frustrating watching this train wreck. The problem is, we're all passengers on this AMTRAK to disaster, and we're taking our kids down with us.

Three years ago, Nancy Pelosi said that we had to pass the bill to see what was in it. Well, those who weren’t paying attention back then are now finding out why we had to pass the law first, before the people could find out what terrible things were in the bill. Many of us knew what was to become of the best healthcare in the world and were ignored or worse. To paraphrase Barack Hussein Obama’s pastor, the chickens are coming home to roost.
We were told by every Democrat that if we liked our plan, we could keep it. Obama told us that after the bill passed, then later campaigned for re-election on it. He continued that until the insurance companies started sending out the cancellations and placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of Obamacare. I remember one of our senators, Kay Hagan, proclaiming the same thing in speech after speech. She repeated the mantra that Obamacare was going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread and that everybody would greatly benefit from the law. Many other democratic congresspeople were declaring the same thing. Well, so far, 5.9 million people have lost their policies, with more to come. The democrats are so alarmed that Obama has delayed, unconstitutionally, the small business mandate. When all the delays are finished, there will be as many as 125-150 million cancelled policies, resulting in new policies with premiums three to four times more and much higher deductibles. All this so that 30 million uninsured could get insurance. Estimates are that after the dust settles around 30 million people will be uninsured.
Besides not being able to keep our policies, we are finding we can’t keep our doctors. Many doctors are retiring or closing their offices due to the low rate of pay under Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare. By 2015, the rate of pay for doctor services will be 16 cents on the dollar. To top that off, many doctors are being overlooked or ignored by Obamacare. Inclusion in the Obamacare networks is by invitation only huge numbers of doctors, and indeed hospitals, were not invited. If a doctor finds that he wasn’t invited, nobody can tell them how to get invited. The obvious result of this will be massive wait times for even simple treatments. Didn’t we point this out even when Hillarycare was being talked about in ’93? I remember pointing out the example of Canada and their wait times.
Now, we find out that, beyond plans, doctors and hospitals, we can’t keep our medicines. The list of approved prescription medications is highly abbreviated, whole classes of drugs not available under the Obamacare policies. You may be able get those drugs, but it will be out of your own pocket and the price doesn’t apply against your deductible. You remember that purple pill for indigestion that used to cost you $20 under your prescription policy. How are you going to like paying the $138 per month for the same thing, or more? What about the costs of drug cocktails for cancer or HIV? How will people be able to afford the drugs required to fight the life-threatening diseases that are being fought today?
Yesterday, the news broke that volunteer firefighters were going to be the latest victims of Obama’s government-run healthcare law. According to the IRS, the Obamacare Gestapo, the volunteers, whether paid or not, for the purposes of Obamacare, are to be designated as employees, therefore required to be enrolled in Obamacare. Many rural areas rely exclusively on volunteers to fight fires. Many volunteers come to help regular fire stations. But, now, some, if not all, of those volunteer fire departments will have to be dropped as being too expensive to operate, posing considerable loss of property and life in the process.
The more we know about Obamacare, the more we realize that it is an assault on almost everything we have, from our health, our life and our property. This goes beyond a wealth redistribution; it’s an affront to our Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
CONSUMER CREDIT DATA PROPOSAL
(First submitted to Congress and President Obama in Early 2009)
American Consumer Credit Data Security and Outsourced Employment Repatriation Act of 2014
Recent events in India and Pakistan as well as North Africa and the Middle East have, collectively, shown that hostility toward Western civilians, Western Institutions, and Western Nations is on the increase, as demonstrated by a seemingly endless parade of terrorist activities.
In many nations, terrorists have carried out attacks against Western interests through, not only bombings, kidnappings, and other acts of violence, but by internet-based attacks, which often exploit personal information from servers in the United States. One reason for such exploitation is to be found in the increasing access that English-speaking nations have to U.S. banking, finance and collection institutions, which have, increasingly “outsourced” everything from routine account creation and maintenance activities to collection of debts of every kind and character. As such, the same United States corporate entities have served to create opportunities for internet-based terrorism, which now includes running sophisticated embezzlement and other “scam” operations against unsuspecting Americans. The scams, not-unlike dealing drugs or prostitutes, are, in-turn, used to finance any number of nefarious schemes.
While some “outsourcing” of work to markets where labor costs are less may make some business sense, even if this practices reduces American jobs, there seems to be a limit where, exceeding said limit would put profits ahead of National Security, even if one has no regard for privacy or other consumer rights for Americans.
In sum, I submit that the curtailment of these opportunities for Internet-based terrorism is in the highest National Security Interests. In many ways, this objective is completely in line with those very few otherwise Constitutionally-legal ideas expressed within the U.S.A. Patriot Act. It is perhaps most ironic that, while the Patriot Act was passed in the alleged name of National Security, with all its banking limitations on ordinary citizens, that U.S. Banks and other large corporations, engaged in debt collections and other financial services operations have been permitted to EXPORT PRIVATE U.S. CITIZEN BANKING, CREDIT, AND PERSONAL DATA TO COUNTRIES KNOWN TO BE HARBOURING AL QAEDA OPERATIONS.
Accordingly, the solution seems simple enough:
Make it illegal for any U.S. Banking, collection agency, or other financial services company; together with any U.S.-based telecommunications or Internet service company, to use ANY Non-USA person or other entity, whether or not said person or business entity is employed by or under contract to any USA person or other entity.
Enforcement should be easy enough. The FED and the Treasury Department have largely taken control of many of the US banks and should give them 60 days to cease and desist from all foreign operations involving servicing United States citizens, whether for credit, collections, any other financial service or product, telecommunications account(s) or Internet Service Provider (ISP) accounts, together with any other forms of remote technical support.
Suggested penalties for failure to comply might include, but should not be limited to, (1) revocation of the violator’s bank or other institutional charter and (2) imprisonment and fines against any such violator institutions President, CEO, Board Chairman, and all Board members.
There is little doubt that many in the business community will be against this idea, since they will claim it will affect their bottom line. However, the National Security implications of this issue are real enough. Further and finally, businesses that voluntarily take steps to comply with these new measure, if enacted, will be perceived as being both patriotic and as good corporate citizens, since they will almost certainly re-employ some of the many, many thousands of Americans who have been displaced by these “outsourcing” practices over the recent years in the banking, collection, financial services, telecommunications, and ISP service industries, together with firms offering all forms of remote technical support.
One good policy measure to encourage voluntary compliance might be to offer a one-time tax incentive to US businesses who comply with this measure in less than the 60 days I have suggested. I would make them show and certify that ALL foreign operations had been terminated (verified by the US Commercial Services branch of the Embassies of the countries involved) and that they had created, one-for-one a like job in the United States, replacing, one-for-one, the job formerly outsourced in some foreign country. I would offer a one-time corporate tax credit of $14,560.00 (One person, at $7.00 per hour, for one normal year of employment) per person, per job, returned in this manner to the United States from some foreign jurisdiction, if and only if, the foreign jurisdiction operation is closed altogether (certified as mentioned above) and a corresponding new job in the United States is created to replace the former“outsourced” job (to be verified by the U.S. Department of Labor and co-coordinated with the State Department on the foreign side, for one-to-one correspondence verifications).
To review, the job areas targeted for“re-patriation”:
1. All servicing of U.S. citizen (personal and/or corporate) banking and other financial services accounts for U.S. citizens;
2. ALL servicing of U.S. citizen(personal and/or corporate) collection activities carried out by any company or individual, whether or not organized, chartered or situated within the United States;
3. ALL servicing of U.S. citizen (personal and/or corporate) telecommunications accounts;
4. ALL servicing of U.S. citizen (personal and/or corporate) Internet Service Provider (ISP) accounts and/or other forms of remote technical support.
It is my firm belief that these actions will increase the National Security Interests of the United States by denying opportunities for financing terror operations via various forms of internet and other identity fraud.
Further and finally, these measures will re-create U.S. jobs at a maximum cost to the American taxpayers of $14,560.00 per job. Under this plan, the entire 2.5 million new jobs targeted by the incoming Obama Administration could, theoretically, cost the taxpayers $36.4 Billion dollars, assuming there are 2.5 million outsourced service industry jobs that are covered by this proposal.
ADDENDUM:
While the basis for this proposed legislation was the idea that increasing U.S. national data security could become the basis for repatriation of millions of American jobs lost to this type of activity over the past decade, it is worth noting that similar, parallel legislation should be considered for enactment which similarly bars outsourcing of employment in other areas not covered by this proposed legislation.
I speak, specifically, here about the United States automotive industry and any other industry that has come to the U.S. taxpayers for some kind of “bail-out”. Right now, it is just the banks and financial institutions. However, if the Detroit automakers are to receive money or other help of any kind from the American taxpayers, they should berequired to eliminate jobs created in Mexico or Canada, which have displaced U.S. employees, on a similar basis to that proposed for the banks and other outsourced services proposed and covered, by the above proposed legislation.
Such a requirement would not have the effect of altogether negating N.A.F.T.A., but is a permissible activity since the United States does not offer national health insurance like the Canadians do, or pay no regard to environmental protection measures required by international treaties, like the Mexicans do. We only propose tax incentives to create a more “level playing field” for American workers and American Industries.
I would propose that any such legislation use the same target number ($14,560.00 per job) as an appropriate tax credit to repatriate U.S. automotive and other manufacturing jobs back into the United States as part of a general job re-creation program. While it is not necessarily so that any new jobs would be created immediately, it is equally true that any jobs re-patriated under this type of measure are bound to have existed, once-upon-a-time, in the United States. This just brings them home.

| Seymour Hersh, at Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Pulitzer Prize winning Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh has authored an article in the London Review of Books, in which he makes the case that Obama (and his Secretary of State, John Kerry) lied to the American people about allegations that the Syrian Assad regime had used Sarin gas against its own people, in order to justify taking military action against the Syrian regime. Hersh made the assertions in an article titled "Whose Sarin?" According to Hersh:
"...Barack Obama did not tell the whole story this autumn when he tried to make the case that Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the chemical weapons attack near Damascus on 21 August. In some instances, he omitted important intelligence, and in others he presented assumptions as facts. Most significant, he failed to acknowledge something known to the US intelligence community: that the Syrian army is not the only party in the country’s civil war with access to sarin, the nerve agent that a UN study concluded – without assessing responsibility – had been used in the rocket attack. In the months before the attack, the American intelligence agencies produced a series of highly classified reports, culminating in a formal Operations Order – a planning document that precedes a ground invasion – citing evidence that the al-Nusra Front, a jihadi group affiliated with al-Qaida, had mastered the mechanics of creating sarin and was capable of manufacturing it in quantity. When the attack occurred al-Nusra should have been a suspect, but the administration cherry-picked intelligence to justify a strike against Assad..."
The Hersh allegations add gasoline to the fire of widespread and growing public perceptions about Obama and his administration's diminished credibility due to his having lied to Americans about what they should have expected from ObamaCare, including the failed roll-out of the ObamaCare web site weeks ago, and a host of scandals that continue to plague the White House: The failed "Fast and Furious" Gun Running scandal; Benghazi; the IRS targeting of the Tea Party and Conservatives; the NSA Spying scandal; the Department of Justice spying on the media; the killing of Seal Team Operatives in Afghanistan by the Taliban; etc.
Hersh writes:
"...In his nationally televised speech about Syria on 10 September, Obama laid the blame for the nerve gas attack on the rebel-held suburb of Eastern Ghouta firmly on Assad’s government, and made it clear he was prepared to back up his earlier public warnings that any use of chemical weapons would cross a ‘red line’: ‘Assad’s government gassed to death over a thousand people,’ he said. ‘We know the Assad regime was responsible … And that is why, after careful deliberation, I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike.’ Obama was going to war to back up a public threat, but he was doing so without knowing for sure who did what in the early morning of 21 August..."
Hersh says in the article that "... In the months before the attack, the American intelligence agencies produced a series of highly classified reports, culminating in a formal Operations Order – a planning document that precedes a ground invasion – citing evidence that the al-Nusra Front, a jihadi group affiliated with al-Qaida, had mastered the mechanics of creating sarin and was capable of manufacturing it in quantity. When the attack occurred al-Nusra should have been a suspect, but the administration cherry-picked intelligence to justify a strike against Assad..."
Hersh reports that Obama's actions were in question by military and intelligence leaders, writing that:
"...in recent interviews with intelligence and military officers and consultants past and present, I found intense concern, and on occasion anger, over what was repeatedly seen as the deliberate manipulation of intelligence. One high-level intelligence officer, in an email to a colleague, called the administration’s assurances of Assad’s responsibility a ‘ruse’. The attack ‘was not the result of the current regime’, he wrote. A former senior intelligence official told me that the Obama administration had altered the available information – in terms of its timing and sequence – to enable the president and his advisers to make intelligence retrieved days after the attack look as if it had been picked up and analysed in real time, as the attack was happening. The distortion, he said, reminded him of the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, when the Johnson administration reversed the sequence of National Security Agency intercepts to justify one of the early bombings of North Vietnam. The same official said there was immense frustration inside the military and intelligence bureaucracy: ‘The guys are throwing their hands in the air and saying, 'How can we help this guy' – Obama – 'when he and his cronies in the White House make up the intelligence as they go along?'..."
Hersh concludes that:
"...The administration’s distortion of the facts surrounding the sarin attack raises an unavoidable question: do we have the whole story of Obama’s willingness to walk away from his ‘red line’ threat to bomb Syria? He had claimed to have an iron-clad case but suddenly agreed to take the issue to Congress, and later to accept Assad’s offer to relinquish his chemical weapons. It appears possible that at some point he was directly confronted with contradictory information: evidence strong enough to persuade him to cancel his attack plan, and take the criticism sure to come from Republicans..."
I was asked of my faith and its origins. I am a Christian but don't normally discuss my faith here. But, because I was asked, I'll address it briefly.
I believe that if one believes in God, they MUST believe in Freedom and Liberty. If you believe in God, then you believe that God made you. If you believe that God made you, then He made you and put you on this earth to accomplish something. He put you here with a purpose.
If God put you here with a purpose, then you MUST be free do pursue God's purpose for your life. How can you pursue God's purpose in your life if you are bound in slavery? This is precisely why our Rights do not come from government, but come from God. That's why We the People made government not the other way around.
We the People are the sovereign masters of government and government exists solely to protect our Rights.
Okay, this has absolutely nothing to do with ObamaCare but the resemblance is uncanny.

In the ethnicity of our nation’s history, the song, ‘The World Turned Upside Down,’ is included! Is it not perhaps time, our nation revisits and rewords this ballad for who we are today?
One remarkable event in this nation’s history we acknowledge is the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. In that historical perspective, the British marched to their surrender with the band playing the march, ‘When the King enjoys His own again.’ Of little knowledge is that the tune was also the melody of the tavern ballad, sung during the royalist rejection of the Puritan rejection of all things—which we could only imagine in this nation—of celebration and Christmas.
Studying this time, or the Rump parliament, and the clash of Cromwell and the Crown, the breaking of the royal monarchy, the death of King Charles, is a history that is nothing but the foundations for the obvious result. That result that there would be a group of Englishmen, who continued the rejection of totalitarian sovereignty of any king, and pope, or anyone who would dominate society without approval of the citizens to be governed. That this nation would be the result was only inevitable. For the colonies of this nation, had already had self-governance, and had created the philosophical idealisms of what this nation’s government policy should be. We in this nation are unfamiliar with this foundation, but you can ‘Google’ it, finding the wonder of ‘the Articles of Confederation.’
This simple ballad—as much in history—became interwoven into the ethnicity of this nation, becoming as one with it. That this nation has an ethnicity is in itself remarkable. I’m always mesmerized by the word ethnicity itself. For it simply means that there is a culture, an identifiable characteristic of a group; as an American. For those who are Americans are a unique ethnicity, for they can come from any other ethnicity, reject—as the singular sentence of the poem by Emma Lazarus’ on the Statue of Liberty—with the only sequel, the only verse of American sense to this nation; ‘Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!’ For it is only by rejecting, and refuting the society of your heritage, and acceptance in our society of such simplicity, liberty and the sanctity of human life. Then and only then, when individually those who come to this nation, become one with this nation, then they are part of our ethnicity an American. Yet in the definition by Merriam-Webster uses this example: a particular ethnic affiliation or group <students of diverse ethnicities>. Is it not strange, that definition? Is it not the exact inverse of what ethnicity is? Is not ethnicity that a society has a culture, has a foundation, their proclaimed mores, morals, and most of all the religion, as Montesquieu identified long, long ago?
Today we experience so many things in this nation that are not of this nation’s culture, or our society, it is difficult to identify the nation or our origins. Looking over the lyrics of the song, ‘The World Turned Upside Down,’ it seemed so appropriate to use it in the context of our nation today. The society of this nation is experiencing a ‘fundamental change’ and a transformation as surely as the world of England experienced when the revolution of this nation separated.
There is one great difference unsurmountable in comparative. In the separation of the United States from England, it was nothing but another, though separate of the reformation of the English experience. The pinnacle of their rejection of totalitarian monarchy, yet different that once accomplished—a philosophy of man’s freedom was born, not the continuation of what was, without a plan, resorting to what was before.
Today there is a plan for this nation’s future. It is the darkest and most demented ideology of social design known to the society of mankind. Proven time after time to fail, to reduce mankind to a society less than animal, where even the species of Homo is rejected. We find this conformation daily in the diatribes of our current president, in the actions of our congress, the decisions of the Supreme Court. We as a nation are so far from the culture and design of our nation’s wonder; to even find any essence of that wondrous exceptionalism, is difficult and so buried in ideologies foreign to our society, as they mirror diametric opposites. One is the liberty and preservation of man, the other the destruction and the domination of man. One with the acknowledgment of man’s creator and natural rights, the other with no more regard to man than but he is animal, regulated to chattel, slavery and serfdom to the power of government.

I guess now we are all supposed to be so Happy that the Obamacare Website is up and running, even if it isn't anywhere near running right. Don't you just LOVE the way that the White House is trying to Scare even More People into using it. Let's just say that the once Sure, and "Secure" method of Paper Enrollment is known to also be a non-functioning mess and Dangerous mistake. The Administration is using the scandal to Bully folks into using an even More Dangerous Web Site. I Know now "if the Disease doesn't Kill you, the Cure WILL".
Let's not forget that Paradigm of Integrity and the new Savior of All that's Good has just Died. I am talking about the Terrorist, Christian Killer, Criminal Nelson the Righteous Mandela. The only part I must be missing is, "What did he do to escape the Death Penalty for ordering the MURDER of Innocent People in South Africa and pushing Socialism on the people there. The People of the World would have brought about the end to Apartheid just fine without the Murderous Mandela and Company. Let's Never forget the practice of Crucifying Blacks and Whites that occurred at the direction and probably hands of them both.
I have no Fear of the coming Judgment for myself and all true Christians, and even pray that Nelson and company have repented and have entered Heaven. I in No Way will excuse His activities on this earth. He didn't stand before me in judgment though. Those that try and justify his deeds and beliefs will also be paying for his deeds before God.
These things, that the Leaders all over the World are doing to be included in anything that "Seems" to make them "Look Non-Racist" or More Noble than others, are the actions of weaklings to keep retaining their Positions of Power. Little do they know that one day the same kind of terrorist actions they glorify are the same type that will be used to take them down . They forget that a Man with Courage dies but Once, and a Coward Dies a million Deaths.
I see why our current leftist leaders support this dead guy, they are just like "Peas in a Pod". A Socialist is a socialist is a socialist. Christian Haters and Freedom Haters are all the same. Can the rest of "We the People" remove the log from our eyes before it is Too Late. You don't have to agree with me on any of these rants. I Know this because I gave years of my Life to protect our, and YOUR Freedoms. That's one thing Obama would never and could never do. Cowards are great at manipulating not Protecting anything. Sorry if you hate me now, I still Love all of you. I still would and will if needed Fight and Die for OUR FREEDOM.
Has the hypothesis of evolution been confirmed? Is man today nothing but identified as not Homo sapiens, but more correctly identified as Homo obliviosus?
Our use of Latin to identify the stages that some men hypothesize man in his journey of existence on this planet is interesting. Greater in that in observation is the reason for the different stages of our journey measured over some time line of academic identification. This identification begins at the acceptance that man, as but a creator, one of the animals of this planet, by some fate of luck, or accident became something unique and different from all others. In fact, man is so unique and different from all others, he is the only animal, by their theorem, achieving this advancement. The only animal, that became civilized by definition, developed language, the written word, and the use of tools, electricity, and all of the other wonders of man; yet began from the same beginning.
If other primates do have the mental capacity of abstract thought, do they not wonder, why them? Why are we as we always were, while they, those other primates accomplished so much? Changing the very world on which they exist for their use. Refuting that man is just governed by the existence of nature, but doing all in his power to protect and preserve his species from the very powers of that danger of nature. In the comparative with man society, it is funny as I write this question, it is the exact question that those who believe in communism ask; ‘why do not I have all that all other possess?’
IN the anthropology of this hypothesis, certain high points, those things that occurred changing our adventure of existence, measure man. One such measurement is identified as Homo erectus, upright man. In strange reality, there is no example of man, not upright. But why should we let a little thing like reality, or lack of any tangible proof of this fact, cloud the relativism of those who have reached this hypothesis? No, man from what we know came as upright, not primate, so maybe the beginning—the creation—of man would be more appropriate.
Then man for some reason, perhaps he subbed his toe, developing speech to cuss out the situation. Perhaps he was compelled to take from others, and needed some way to notify them that he was ‘fundamentally transforming’ and ‘redistributing’ the wealth of others. The why we can only speculate; yet, this is identified as another event on this historical journey, of man’s experience. From language came thought, reason, communication, and eventually the ‘literacy’ of man. The written communication of mankind, the one tool so vital to communicate not only with each other, but across the void of time. Where the thought of man today, will be read and understood by man in the future; if our species survives.
This man, this identification is Homo sapiens. Those who can think, reason, and from such have advanced mankind, encouraged civilization, created social entities today never comprehended in man’s past. Truly thinking and creative man exponentially building on the foundations of those before to make the future better for all of mankind.
Can we say now that man is advancing? Is even the culture of mankind improving? Is the very sustenance of the society of man improving? What measurement, what validation exists showing that this current society of mankind has any improvement identified? Alternatively, can we even as thinking, Homo sapient man, even find one example of any improvement in the society of man? Is it not in fact that the inverse is fact? Is it not that our measurements of society are not advancing, but as a society going backward? Our very ethnicity, our societies—very specifically the society of the most advanced achievement of mankind, America—is exponentially on a course reverting to barbarism, not man’s advancement of civilization!
There is no way my amateurish excogitations will ever be included in the anthology of our society. For I am but as every other average, pay your bills, enjoy my simple pursuit of happiness, and content to enjoy the fruit of a nation that allows me liberty—though under the present attack on this society—it is a slowing disappearing measurement of freedom with the intrusion of government. For there is not an American in this nation…one who believes in the simple philosophical idealism of man are equal—and that equal is magnified under the courts of this nation, and the laws this nation’s government—which exists by those same citizens ratification of acknowledging and renouncing individual sovereignty—treat each and every one of us the same. As such, any American with this simple foundation has the ability to write a diatribe of the variances of legislative action in complete diametric opposition to this principle.
It is not the mistakes that create or make us wonder; for we all can identify them. What we lack in this nation is the absolute apathy, the complete acquiescence of even acknowledgement of the reality in which we exist. Today we are the nation of the oblivious. This factor is most identifiable in the abject rejection of those of the white race in this nation. The verification in the last election when a confirmed communist was running to continue the nihilism of this nation, over 44% of the white race eligible to vote advanced gormlessly a nonpareil decision—I will not vote! By this simple action confirming that the white race in this nation has reached some déclassé and acceptance of the coup de grace of this nation—beyond just a mea culpa, of my mistake, but refuting the fundamental concept of English foundations to forfend the defense and preservation of this miracle of this nation, and our design.
Is that what a Homo sapient would do? Is this the action of thinking, reasoning, and rational society? Alternatively, is could it be that we have somehow changed from that identification? Is it perhaps we are not any more Homo sapient, and as such should we not as all of the hypotheses of anthropology again make an identification of what our society is currently?
What is the most absolutely confirmable identifier one could make of society of this nation? What words would be most identify the majority of citizens in this nation? What concept is most descriptive of what our nation has become? There are many, many, many more than any one of individually could identify. So many in fact we would be hard pressed not to make a travesty of the size of the current greatest travesty, the advancement of communist medical policy in this nation; the 2,500 page ‘oBOMa-NATION policy of the greatest mistake, beyond the election of this travesty…our national mea maxima culpa, our greatest mistake…in this nation.
One world that is obvious above all others is the simple fact for a variety of reasons most in this nation are oblivious. An obliviousness that compounds all of the ignorance of mankind, the lack of literacy of politics, of history, and of economic reality. In fact a society so propagandized, knowing only the minutia renderings of what masquerades as journalism and press; it is beyond unknowing, it is a willing suspension of even cognitive reality. Is this not sufficient to make a new classification of our society? Identifying this new milepost of a man who is completely oblivious to even reality? Is not the Latin identifier of oblivious, obliviosus most correct?
So in the world of man, in our adventure of existence on this planet, as the world turns, and we ‘fundamentally transform’ not only our society, but also the very nature of man; is not ‘Home obliviosus’ most appropriate and correct in identification?

‘We, the People’ are on the verge of losing our Republic; and enlisting a government ‘prohibited’ by our Founding Fathers in our Constitution.
The Democrat Party did not hesitate to change Senate ‘rules’ for pushing their agenda through; ‘rules’ that have been ‘unbendable’ for over 230 years.
Senate Democrats said they used this ‘rule’ change to force and approve President Obama’s Federal Judicial nominees; however, the true purpose appears to be the transfer and consolidation of powers to the Presidency; a Presidency whose apparent underlying objective is to ‘transform’ the USA into an isolationist, ‘Socialist/Communist’ society. (Google "Communists suing the Democrat party for stealing their platform")
We continue to see the Capitol Hill Democrats, ignoring our Constitution, and intent on remolding our government into a Democrat Party ‘image’ with no considerations constrained by Constitutional Law.
Are we witnessing the Democrat party ‘transform’ us into a ‘Democrat Party State’; a ‘Democrat Party State’ issuing law by decree and stripping away our protections under the Constitution. This can happen. Take a hard look, equally, at how the Nazi Party rose to power during the 1930's.
Without adherence to the Constitution, the danger is real. This may happen to the USA. If we love our Country, we must regain control. Democrats can no longer be blindly loyal to the Democrat Party leadership. We have to hold our Democrat Party accountable for its illegal, unethical, and immoral actions; then, replace those whom power has corrupted absolutely.
Most can not see the truth behind what is going on
Obama himself when he first was campaigning for obamacre said ( healthcare is the key to everything ) this is not just about heath care
1st it is about control ,control of the people control of the money control of everything even the constitution
with the IRS handling the money , the National ID to control the people and their heath and as you will see in time it will be obey or we lock you out
2nd this is about bringing the people financially to their knees , when people are under the control of the Government with no money they can not fight back , and when new laws come in and the people are without food the government holds all the cards they will agree to the new laws thinking they are good because the government will give them a small bit of relief so they can have food as long as they obey.
3rd it is about the money system , they need to crash the money system to being in a one world money system for a one world government . that is why they are spending many like it is water and at the same time charging more and more to the people for everything
4th it is a way to fulfill the agenda , all you have to do is look at the other countries that have been through this ,, it is a pattern ,, push from the bottom and push from the top until the country implodes then declare martial law then rewrite and implement all new laws
and this my friends is what obomacare is really about it is a tool and a means to a one wold government
When our money system does go down and it will it will crash all the world markets bringing in the perfect set up to start the one wold government
If you haven't seen this, Harvard conducted a survey of "Millennials" to determine their impressions on Washington, especially Obamacare.
In order to best interpret my impressions of the survey, please note the following statement taken from the article: “Overcoming today's bitter partisanship and governmental gridlock is essential to showing Millennials and all our citizens that Washington, D.C. – and our democratic process – can still work and make a difference."
http://www.joegilbertforcongress.com/
Therein lies the base of the problem. The federal government has become so bloated and powerful, that citizens just assume that Washington is supposed to solve all our problems. They can't. That is why in the Constitution, the federal government is trusted with only 18 enumerated powers. 536 people (435 in the House, 100 in the Senate and 1 president) cannot run every aspects of the country and the lives of 330 million people. They were never supposed to. But, over the last 100 years, since Woodrow Wilson, there has been a steady concentration of power in Washington. So, today, everything from trade, employment, the minimum wage, roads and bridges, the education of our children and now our healthcare has by practice fallen under the purview of the federal government.
There is nothing they run, except the military, that is cost efficient and effective. The Postal Service, AMTRAK, Department of Veterans Affairs or healthcare.gov are all failures. Two other aspects of the survey are worth noting as well. First, at long last, a major part of the base that supported the president in his election and reelection are waking up to the truth of what centralized power really means. They are directly feeling the effects of how the government lied to them to get their support, then are now using them in their redistribution plan that is Obamacare. The Millennials are the ones that are being counted on to pay the much higher premiums to fund all the subsidies, pre-existing conditions and elderly that will be actually using their health insurance. Now they know. It may be too late, but they know.
Secondly, and more troubling, is that more of them are becoming discouraged and not taking part in politics at all. Instead of being angered to the point of action, they are being angered to the point of inaction. It should be the other way around. But, as stated above, when power is unconstitutionally concentrated at the federal level, a feeling of helplessness can take hold where people feel like they really can't make a difference and their one vote doesn't count. This is a major theme of my campaign. People need to feel empowered again. The United States is no longer a true representative republic run in accordance with the Constitution. We have a political ruling class of elitists that exempt themselves from the very laws that they themselves pass. This is wrong and it needs to be turned around. Every member of Congress and the president take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States then violate that oath on a regular basis.
http://www.joegilbertforcongress.com/
A majority of those surveyed said they would recall every member of Congress and the president. Good. This really comes back to my last point. We were never intended to have a ruling class. Instead, we have representatives making 35 year careers out of 2 year terms. And, they'll spend $$$ Millions in a single campaign to get a job that pays $174,000. For the majority of politicians, public service no longer matters. It is all about gaining and maintaining power. Elections strongly favor the incumbents and it is virtually impossible for grassroots campaigns to take hold, because in the end, it is all about how much money a candidate can raise and significantly less about the issues. There is a political machine at work in Washington that only wants to hold on to power, not solve problems. In every case, their answer is more government, another program, another agency or bureaucracy and more spending. It can be easily mathematically demonstrated that is a flawed formula. Our national debt is $17,208,550,000,000. There are more than 91 million Americans no longer participating in the workforce and not even counted towards our unemployment number. There are 49 million Americans on food stamps and the poverty rate is 16% (the same exact rate as it was in 1964 when LBJ launched his famous "War on Poverty" on which we've spent more than $16 Trillion).
Obama's numbers are down on international affairs as well. The latest "deal" with Iran does nothing to stop their nuclear weapons program and he pressed for military intervention in Syria's civil war. As of Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2013, at least 2,153 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan.
Since the start of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, 19,496 U.S. service members have been wounded in hostile action, according to the Defense Department. We're still in Afghanistan and when we do leave, what kind of Afghanistan will we leave behind? We left Iraq with our tails between our legs too - where I served 3 tours. There is nothing in this administration to feel good about. Nothing.
I know the survey really focused on Obamacare as it should. Obamacare is, in my opinion, the single worst piece of legislation passed in Washington. It will destroy our private health insurance industry. It will drive doctors out of practice and by extension wreck medical schools (who is going to spend $300,000 to become a doctor through 10 years of school, residency, etc only to be forced to accept Medicaid and Medicare patients for whom you'll only be reimbursed 40 cents on the dollar forcing you to operate at a loss?), drive full time workers into part time jobs, force up to 100 million Americans to lose their health insurance, and those that will have insurance will pay way more than they are paying now for better care, and in the end, by the government's own estimates cost the economy $2.7 Trillion and still leave 30 million with no insurance at all. Oh, and by the way, the website is a disaster and people who do log on are explicitly told they can have no expectation of privacy of the plethora of personal information they are forced to provide.
Given all of this, the results of the survey are really no big surprise. The only surprise here is that it took so long for the Millennials to wake up to what's going on. But, instead of withdrawing from the political process, we need these Americans involved and engaged to change the system that they are so fed up with.

Rumors of the Tea Party’s demise are greatly exaggerated.
Before, during and after the government shutdown, the Tea Party was dragged through the mud, chastised, called names and even told that our movement should die.
This all came about because the representatives we elected on the promise to fight Obamacare dared to do so. The irony is now that the Affordable Care Act is beginning to be implemented, the whole country is beginning to see that the Tea Party was right all along.
During the government shutdown last month, the president, democrats and the main stream media all blamed a small group of hard-liner Tea Party republicans for all of the country’s woes. The Boston Globe, for example, stated it was the “Tea Party movement’s strategy of shutting down the government and bringing the nation to the brink of debt default.”
http://www.joegilbertforcongress.org/
Former George H.W. Bush administration official Bruce Bartlett expressed hope that the Tea Party would soon "die a well-deserved death" on MSNBC. In an Op-Ed published in USA Today on 18 October, Hank Plante after calling the Tea Party “extortionists” stated “members of the tea party will continue to be political extortionists as long as the news media and the rest of the public give them equal weight on the sanity scale.”
The Republicans in general and the Tea Party specifically were called extremists, obstructionists, jihadists and terrorists. We were told that the Tea Party was holding the country hostage and were willing to let the country default on its debt.
The real facts of the “shutdown” paint an entirely different picture. First, the government never shutdown. Eighty-five percent of the government was funded, up and running. The president through the Office of Management and Budget had the discretion to pick and choose which agencies and functions of the federal government would close and which would stay open. President Obama specifically chose to close what he believed would be the most visible and objectionable to the American people.
Second, the House bill fully funded the entire government, except Obamacare. Nothing else had to close. Additionally, the House then passed a long series of bills that funded each aspect of the government including the national parks, the National Institute of Health and all of the military.
http://www.joegilbertforcongress.org/
The images of World War II veterans being denied entry into their memorial and senior citizens being rounded up at Yellowstone were absolutely unnecessary. The worst came when the commander in chief chose to deny death benefits to three families whose sons were killed in Afghanistan. Obama could have instead not funded Planned Parenthood, or Public Broadcasting or cut foreign aid. He made the conscious decision to hurt the American people as much as possible.
Meanwhile, all of the House bills to fund the government sat on Harry Reid’s desk at the Senate. He dug in his heels and absolutely refused to even debate or compromise on not fully funding and implementing the Affordable Care Act. The biggest lie of all was that the government was on the verge of default. The federal government takes in about $300 billion a month in revenue. That is more than enough to fully fund entitlement programs and service the debt. The government was never at risk of a debt default. The national narrative as espoused by the White House, his party and the complicit media was it all was the Tea Party’s fault.
Since then, the Republicans caved to the pressure and kicked the can down the road. The government is fully funded and the debt ceiling raised until February 7th 2014. So, nothing has changed. We are just going further into debt and federal spending, at least for now, can continue unabated down the road to fiscal ruin.
Obamacare became active on 1 October. Just one month into the implementation of the ACA, the news is grim, just as the Tea Party predicted. Under the new law, the government will fine you if you don’t go onto the healthcare.gov site, which doesn’t work, and sign up for a plan you don’t want and that will increase your rates so much you can’t afford insurance at all. A study conducted by the the American Action Forum, calculated that the Obamacare increases for individual health insurance policies to be 193 percent for women on average, and 260 percent for men. With such rate increases, millions of Americans will be forced to drop their coverage.
http://www.joegilbertforcongress.org/
And, millions of Americans will lose their employer provided health insurance. Even the Congressional Budget Office predicts that because of Obamacare, up to 20 million Americans will lose their employer based coverage. But, the president said “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. Period”
He lied. And he knew he was lying each and every time he said that. Forbes reported today that in a 2010 Federal Register document, the Obama Administration predicted that up to 93 million Americans would lose their healthcare coverage.
As reported by News Busters on 31 October, Section 1251 of the Affordable Care Act contains a “grandfather” provision that, in theory, allows people to keep their existing plans if they like them. But subsequent regulations from the Obama administration interpreted that provision so narrowly as to prevent most plans from gaining this protection.
Page 34552 of the 2010 Federal Register reads “The Departments’ mid-range estimate is that 66 percent of small employer plans and 45 percent of large employer plans will relinquish their grandfather status by the end of 2013.”
Forbes did the math: 51 percent of the employer-based market plus 53.5 percent of the non-group market (the middle of the administration’s range) amounts to 93 million Americans.
These numbers as grim as they are, vindicate the Tea Party. We knew all along that not only was the ACA unconstitutional on many levels but that it would destroy the best healthcare system in the world. We held true to our convictions when we were bashed every day in the media. We knew the president, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi were all lying.
We held strong to our beliefs of smaller, fiscally responsible government. We knew that only a return to America’s founding principles would restore this great representative republic with a federal government bound to the limits set forth in the Constitution.
We held strong then. We must hold even stronger now. The Tea Party is not dead. It will be the Tea Party and those that follow us that will save this country from itself. This is our challenge. This is our time. If not us, who? If not now, when?
As Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”
We will not be the generation that loses freedom in America. We must now redouble our efforts to bring sanity and responsibility back to government. We must seek out and support true constitutional conservative candidates wherever we may find them whether they are in our home district or across the country and fully support them to propel them into office.
We can do this. We owe it to our children and our children’s children. The Tea Party will be ones who lead the restoration of our country. To paraphrase Shakespeare: We few, we happy few, we band of Patriots; For he today who stands with me shall be my brother.

America was never intended to have a professional political ruling class. But, that is exactly what we have now. Guys like Harry Reid, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, and our other elected representatives have become so disconnected from We the People they feel exempt from the effects of the laws they pass. They believe they are above the law itself. You'll hear them speak of "the American people" as if we are a separate entity, distant and distinct from themselves. Just as they have exempted themselves with subsidies from Obamacare that you pay for.
As they are sworn into office, over and over, they do take an oath to support and uphold the Constitution. But, that means nothing to them. If it did, the Constitutional merits of every piece of legislation would be debated even before they'd discuss the details of the bill itself. We all know that doesn't happen.
It time we have new leadership in Washington. We simply cannot afford to continue down this road to ruin as a nation.

I love this country. I want my children and yours to grow up proud to be Americans where they can achieve their highest aspirations and become their highest, best selves. I want a country that is not buried in debt that stifles economic growth and devalues our currency. I believe in a country where everyone has the same opportunities, but not limited by government to the same outcome.
I believe that in world affairs, we should be respected by our friends and rightfully feared by our enemies, and where we would never ever even think about leaving Americans behind on a foreign field of battle. We should commit our sons and daughters to combat sparingly and when we do it is only because our citizens or vital national interest are at stake. Our commanders on the ground control the fight and know before the first bullet flies what victory looks like. Then, when the battle is over, I want a country that holds its history and its veterans in a sacred place of honor as those among us who have fought and volunteered their blood for our Liberty. It was an outrage when this Administration denied the death benefits to the families of our fallen heroes in Afghanistan and closed the memorials to our combat veterans.
http://www.joegilbertforcongress.org/
I want an America that citizens of other countries long to come to because we are a beacon of Liberty across the globe, but they do so legally. Those who do cross our borders illegally are not rewarded with federal entitlements that our hard working citizens pay for. There is so much more to being an American than just being in America.
I want an America where our kids receive a quality education that prepares them not for a standardized federal exam, but to succeed in life. In our schools, parents and teachers together determine the course of their teaching not unelected bureaucrats in Washington. There is no provision in the Constitution for the federal government to be in charge of anyone’s education in the first place.
I will fight for an America that pays its bills, is fiscally responsible and adheres to the same economic principles as every American family has to. That is, that it can't spend more than it takes in and the American taxpayer isn't seen as the "piggybank" that can be tapped again and again to fund their liberal, progressive agenda.
My United States came with an owner's manual and it is called the Constitution. It is a document not to limit We the People, but to constrict the government's intrusion into our lives and to maximize our Liberty. We need to fight every day to ensure the government respects its sovereign masters, We the People, and adheres to its limits as set forth in the Constitution. Every bill proposed in Congress should have attached to it the provision in the Constitution that allows the federal government the power to act on that proposed legislation in the first place.
http://www.joegilbertforcongress.org/
I believe we can have again a federal government that respects our individual rights and private property as set forth in the Bill of Rights. These include our right to peaceably assemble, petition the government. The people should be respected as the sovereign masters of government when we do assemble, and not be confronted by mounted riot police complete with gas masks, batons and shields to intimidate 80 and 90 year old combat veterans in wheelchairs.
Americans have the right to possess firearms. I am a gun owner and have no propensity to commit any violent crime. My firearms are to hunt, for sport and to protect my home, my life and my family. The 2nd Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights, however, so Americans would always possess the capability to defend themselves against an oppressive government, or, if need be, overthrow it. A truly representative republic has nothing to fear from an armed populace. Laws exist now to punish those who possess guns illegally and those who commit crimes with firearms. Those need to be enforced. We do not need further laws to restrict the lawful ownership of firearms by law-abiding citizens.
We in the Tea Party have been demonized as “extremists,” and even “terrorists”. Today we are being told by the main stream media that our movement is dead. As you know, the Tea Party is not a political party. I am a lifelong registered Republican. I am also a Tea Party member. The Tea Party is not an organized force or political party. It is an informal group of patriotic Americans connected by the idea that the government needs to control its spending, be fiscally responsible and accountable to We the People. I believe the government needs to control its spending and stop going into debt that we and our children will eventually have to repay. America goes into debt at the rate of $50,000 a second, every second of every day. That is unsustainable and is not only a severe threat to our economy and our future but also to our national security.
http://www.joegilbertforcongress.org/
Another threat to our economy and our national security is our failure to fully develop our domestic energy sources. We have more natural sources of energy than the Middle East. There is no reason for the United States to purchase oil from countries that not only do not like America, but actively support and fund our enemies. Developing domestic energy will bring energy independence, which brings independence from any influence from Middle Eastern countries while serving as the engine for economic recovery here at home. This administration consistently shuts down or inhibits American energy development while supporting foreign sources. That has to be reversed.
I'm not an idealist. All of these proposals can be achieved. It just takes the right leadership in Washington. We have to find and support true Constitutional conservative candidates and fight to get them elected. We have to do this for every level of government from your town hall to the capitol. The stakes have never been higher. Our career politicians in Washington have become completely out of touch with the people they were hired to represent. They argue and bicker with each other over the color of the drapes as the house burns down around them.
This is our challenge. This is our time. If we don’t do this, who will? If not now, when?
I've been a leader throughout my entire career. I've commanded two companies and a battalion in combat in Iraq. I'm very proud to say that I never lost of Soldier. Every one of the great Americans I had the honor to lead came home to their families with all their fingers and toes intact. This is after hundreds of missions "outside the wire" doing reconnaissance, intelligence raids and patrols all over the country. At one point I was in charge of over 1700 civilian and military subordinates. These included Americans, Iraqis, Turkish personnel and even a security company from Uganda.
I'm running for Congress in NY's 21st Congressional District. Northern NY has suffered under liberal policies and agendas for years. In my hometown of Ogdensburg, my father had two factories close underneath him, as did his brother in the Shade Roller factory next door. We're still experiencing high unemployment, high taxes and essentially no economic growth. When I left the military, I came home. I worked for St. Lawrence County as the Director of Emergency Services after my retirement from the Army.
While in service to the county as the Director of Emergency Services, I cut my budget by almost $200,000 in 18 months. While at the same time I launched new initiatives to improve public safety and emergency communications for our over 2100 volunteer firefighters and EMTs. I don't just talk about fiscal responsibility and cutting government spending, I've done it. I'll do it again as your Congressman in Washington.
My legislative experience will be put to work in Washington as well. I've drafted resolutions and pushed them through legislatures. I've sat on and appeared before legislative committees and have had to reach across the aisle to come to bipartisan consensus to get things done. This isn't political theory to me. I've done this. I will do it again, this time for America as your representative in Congress.
