Why did we need a total reconstruction of healthcare? What was wrong with our previous system? Did we need to help the people who didn't have healthcare yes but many didn't want to pay for it (like young or rich people). Who in there right mind ever thought that adding 30 million people to our healthcare system that the costs would go down. That's like saying 2+2 = 5. All they needed to do is allow insurance companies to cross state boarders and do tort reform. Competition breads lower costs just look at the auto insurance business. Repeal Obamacare and fix the key areas only that cause problems.
As a conservative, I am beyond ftustrated at the inaction of the Republican party on various issues and the violations of the Constitution. Most of which are impeachable. Why is the minority leader of the US Senate and the Republican congress not doing anything about these? Senator McConnell was vocal in his oposition to Obamacare but won't vote to defund it. Congress won't even defund scared to be blamed for "shutting down government" but won't even consider SELECTIVE funding.
FLASH!

New Chevy Truck.......
I stopped by the Chevrolet Dealership yesterday, for a look at the
new Silverado 1500 pickup. Just for fun, I took it out for a test
drive. I wanted to sense that new "feel" before they become extinct.
The salesman (a black man wearing an Obama "change" lapel pin)
sat in the passenger seat describing the truck and all its
"wonderful”options. The seats were of particular interest. He
explained that the seats directed warm air to your butt in the winter
and directed cool air to your butt in the summer heat. Feeling like
messing with him, I mentioned that this must be a Republican truck.
Looking a bit angry, he asked why I thought it was a Republican truck.
I explained that if it were an Obama truck, the seats would blow smoke
up your ass year-round.
I had to walk back to the dealership to retrieve my old pickup.
Damn guy had no sense of humor.
(CNSNews.com) – In a blunt warning to countries critical of the Egyptian military crackdown and considering suspending aid, longstanding U.S. ally Saudi Arabia suggested that the decisions they make now will have long-term consequences for their relationships in the Arab and Muslim world. Saudi Arabia has led the way in supporting the Egyptian military’s actions, first in removing the Muslim Brotherhood administration early last month and in its subsequent steps against supporters of the ousted Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi. -
Should United States be fearful?

That's the question "can we?" who knows,do you?
As I sit here day after day and read what a lot of your have wrote. Some is good and some is bad.Some words are clean and sound ,and some are very hard and mean.
The words are only words but my question is can we? Can we truly stand with each other doing a true time of head ache. I keep wondering why are the ones we put in office not really listing to us. When they do not listen we want to get read of them in words,but not in action.Our represented in Washington is being paid through our tax dollars,but my question is "are the tax dollars that is used to pay them coming from our state tax's" or federal tax's?" Because if they are coming out of our state tax's then why can we not get the state to stop paying them by submitting a petition. They were sent to Washington DC to be our voice,and not our boss. They were sent they to do I will not there on will. They should listen to us and not having us to listen to them,our word should be the final word not they
But my question is "can we" if you know then let me know.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Coptic Kristallnacht
Andrew Doran, writing at National Review, calls the current wave of anti-Coptic violence in Egypt a Coptic version of Kristallnacht:
The Muslim Brotherhood’s systematic and coordinated attacks against Christians in Egypt are reminiscent of Kristallnacht in Germany in 1938, when Nazi paramilitaries systematically vandalized Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues and murdered scores of Jews in a disturbing foreshadowing of the fate of European Jews over the next few years. It is no accident that many Jews, including Barry Rubin and Jeffrey Goldberg, have been quick to raise the alarums over the persecution of Christians: They recognize the dangerous signs. “They have hatred in their hearts,” says Thabet of the Brotherhood, echoing observations commonly made of the National Socialists in 20th-century Germany.
The Brotherhood has been going on an orgy of destruction in revenge for the ouster of Mohamed Morsi. The property damage includes 40 churches and an unknown number of homes, businesses and cars belonging to Christians. In some cases the sites are marked with red paint and later burned.
Today there is a story of a group of nuns being marched "through the battle-torn streets of Cairo ‘like prisoners of war’" And as the Egyptian military attempts to quell this violence the Brotherhood manages to make itself out as the victims of violence in the media.
There have been voices in the media and in the region warning about the threat presented by the rise of the Brotherhood, but the Obama administration long ago placed all of its chips on the transformative power of political engagement with extremists. At the moment that is looking like a foolish bet.
Finally, it's worth noting that the religious persecution of Christians, mostly at the hands of Muslims, is an ongoing problem which is rarely recognized by western media.
So, the Muslims are Nazi Germany and Christians are the Jews.
Are we going to do nothing to protect them before the Holocaust?
The last paragraph seems to sum it up.
We must support this plan !
This is not a partisan issue. Washington, D.C., will never voluntarily relinquish meaningful power—no matter who is elected. The only rational conclusion is this: unless some political force outside of Washington, D.C., intervenes, the federal government will continue to bankrupt this nation, embezzle the legitimate authority of the states, and destroy the liberty of the people. Rather than securing the blessings of liberty for future generations, Washington, D.C., is on a path that will enslave our children and grandchildren to the debts of the past. This is not merely bad policy. It is immoral. Collusion among decision-makers in Washington, D.C., has replaced these checks and balances, and the federal judiciary supports Congress and the White House in its ever-escalating attack upon the jurisdiction of the fifty states. We need to realize that the structure of decision-making matters. Who decides what the law shall be is even more important than what is decided. The protection of liberty requires a strict adherence to the principle that power is limited and delegated. http://conventionofstates.com/problem |
Media's Cruz Derangement Syndrome: 'Creepy,' 'Abrasive,' Born in Canada
The attack on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has begun. Fearful of Cruz as a prospective Republican presidential nominee in 2016, the media is now digging into his past, all the way back to birth. The Daily Beast ran a profile on Monday with this headline: “Ted Cruz at Princeton: Creepy, Sometimes Well Liked, and Exactly the Same.” The hit piece questions whether “master debater who wore a paisley bathrobe to creepily stroll by the women’s wing of the dorm [can] be the next president.”
The piece quotes one of Cruz’s former classmates, Craig Mazin, stating, “I remember very specifically that he had a book in Spanish and the title was Was Karl Marx a Satanist? And I thought, who is this person? Even in 1988, he was politically extreme in a way that was surprising to me.” The piece makes no mention of Mazin’s background – Mazin is a leftist Hollywood screenwriter responsible for American classics Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 4, and Identity Thief. The piece goes on to quote classmate Erik Leitch, stating, “It was my distinct impression that Ted had nothing to learn from anyone else. The only point of Ted talking to you was to convince you of the rightness of his views.” If Cruz had been a liberal at Princeton, that would have been considered ideological purity. He was a conservative, so he was just stubborn, says the Beast: “In addition to Mazin and Leitch, several fellow classmates who asked that their names not be used described the young Cruz with words like ‘abrasive,’ ‘intense,’ ‘strident,’ ‘crank,’ and ‘arrogant.’ Four independently offered the word ‘creepy,’ with some pointing to Cruz’s habit of donning a paisley bathrobe and walking to the opposite end of their dorm’s hallway where the female students lived.”
The Daily Beast even went so far as to dig up poker debts Cruz ran up when he was a teenager. “Cruz [was] disliked, and intensely so, by many of his classmates,” says The Daily Beast. “The time-capsule quality of Cruz’s politics is lost on no one who knew him at Princeton, none of whom could point to a political position that he held 25 years ago that he does not seem to still hold today. For some, that amounts to a laudably consistent belief system. For others, it reveals a man of calcified thinking, dangerously impervious to facts, reality, and a changing world.”
Meanwhile, the Dallas Morning News has gone full birther, running a piece titled “Canada-born Ted Cruz became a citizen of that country as well as US.” The piece explains, “Unless the Texas Republican senator formally renounces that citizenship, he will remain a citizen of both countries, legal experts say. That means he could assert the right to vote in Canada or even run for Parliament. On a lunch break from the U.S. Senate, he could head to the nearby embassy — the one flying a bright red maple leaf flag — pull out his Calgary, Alberta, birth certificate and obtain a passport….The circumstances of Cruz’s birth have fueled a simmering debate over his eligibility to run for president. Knowingly or not, dual citizenship is an apparent if inconvenient truth for the tea party firebrand, who shows every sign he’s angling for the White House.”
Cruz has quickly become a Tea Party leader and high-ranking Senate figure despite just entering Congress. He is widely perceived to be a top contender for the 2016 Republican nomination. The former solicitor general for the State of Texas, Cruz attended Princeton University, Harvard Law School, and clerked for Chief Justice William Rehnquist.
Ben Shapiro is Editor-At-Large of Breitbart News and author of the New York Times bestseller “Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America” (Threshold Editions, January 8, 2013).
In college, he was a conservative nerd among a bunch of liberal nerds.
If there is a Dual citizenship issue, he has time to repair it since he hasn't even agreed to run for the 2016 presidency!
I guess they are intimidated by him.
Why wasn't the liberal media so full of vigor with our current president? To this day, there are questions on his citizenship. There are pictures of him smoking dope....no big deal I guess.

Democrat Party leaders are joining their basic support within the NAACP, and other radical left-wing politicians to protest all Conservative moves within NC. The same activities apply to these same Democrat Party leaders and their left-wing followings in other states across our nation.
Upwards of 70% to 80% of North Carolinians support ‘Voter ID’ as an effort to validate the entire electorate of open and honest elections; however, these radical Democrats, the NAACP, and other left-wingers are acting as if the GOP majority North Carolina General Assembly and Republican Gov. Pat McCrory have stolen their ‘candy’ of fraudulent elections.
‘Voter ID’ is required to visit many local County Court Houses, the Governors’ offices, (y)our Capitol Hill office buildings, and the White House. We must show some government issued ‘photo ID’ to drive a car, fly on a plane, cash a check, open a bank account, collect social security benefits, receive food stamps, collect welfare, rent a car, check into a hotel room, pickup pre-ordered entertainment tickets, and the list goes on.
‘Voter ID’ is provided free to all who do not have one. Why do these left-wingers reject legislation to protect (y)our ‘election system’; to protect ‘illegals’ from voting at all, and/or legally qualified voters from voting more than once in each election?
The same applies to a ‘pro-life’ movement within North Carolina as ObamaCare is being forced on Conservatives who support life and oppose abortion. Open ‘Christian’ Prayers in government and in (y)our public schools are denying Conservatives any Constitutional right to practice Christian values while ‘Islam and Sharia Law’, that is ‘conflicting’ to our Constitution based on Christian values, is entering our governments and communities.
The Democrat Party, the NAACP, and others continue to oppose our ‘passed’ May 2012 Constitutional Amendment was defined and endorsed by some 61% of the electorate in support of a “Constitutional amendment to provide that marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State”.
The fact is that of the 30 states that had elections on Constitution Amendments passed their elections; yet 5 SCOTUS members, including Chief Justice John Roberts, reversed the voters’ decisions. I reference Chief Justice John Roberts as it must be remembered that John Roberts called ‘ObamaCare’ a tax law, even though our Constitution requires all tax legislation to begin in the US House, which it did not. It started in the US Senate.
View our Constitution standards and belief, as based on Christian values clearly recognized and trusted in by our Founding Fathers http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=78. If you support our Constitution, you will find that our Founding Fathers would turn over in their graves if they could see what is happening in America; how this same Democrat Party, the NAACP, and others are destroying (y)our freedoms.
President Obama and his administration, a majority of the Democrat Party, the NAACP, and other left-wingers oppose all. These groups, in becoming minorities, are having difficult enthusiasm in living outside a Democrat majority in the NC General Assembly and Governor’s office, as well as in other states. Why does President Obama and AG Eric Holder continue to attack the governments of Texas, Arizona, and many others protection of the Tenth Amendment? U.S. Constitution - Amendment 10: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Many states and local governments are rejecting the ‘out-of-control’ spending and ‘lawless’ Constitutional violations under President Obama, his ‘Department of Injustice’ led by Attorney General Eric Holder, and others within Obama’s administration.
Additionally and unfortunately, President Obama, a majority of the Democrat Party, the NAACP, and others appears to be reviving and stimulating ‘racism’ in our communities as they sponsor their own ‘Divided States of America’ over our ‘United States of America’. These individuals and groups are revitalizing the same regressive movements as the KKK of yesteryear.

How many legislators voted to pass Obama care based on false pretenses! All officers are oath and duty bound to the highest standards of honesty, truth, and integrity. Are there any who had read and understood the legislation when they voted for it? How many yes voters have completely read the bill, understand it and can explain the laws and recite a firm cost per year with truthful disclosure of who is going to pay for it. Is there an accounting and consensus on the legality of stripping hundreds of billions from MEDICARE Funds that are required for retiree SSI-MED benefits... as part and parcel of SSI trust fund covenants?
If any of the naked ignorance and deception discussed in the media over the past several years is remotely true, we are following the Pied Piper of fraud over the cliff and into a sea of destruction. It isn't enough to defund Obamacare, we have fraud in treasonous proportions to prosecute, and no one seems to have the guts to file charges!
The Military budget could be cut in half and the USA would still be totally safe! How is that possible ? Return to the idea of M A D mutual assured destruction ! We need to make every enemy know that attacking the United States will result in retaliation many time the scale of the attack on us, and we are the only nation ever to use nuclear weapons in war and we will do so again if we must !
We have boots on the ground in over 100 foreign nations and that is expensive and really does not create real safety here at home with our lack of border security ! Having over 10 nuclear powered Air Craft Carrier battle groups is also a waste of money when one nuclear sub with a nuclear Cruise missile could reap havoc with such a Battle group.
Every military engagement that the US has engaged in after WWII has been based on a flawed foreign policy and faulty thinking [Containing Communism] ! if Communism is a flawed economic system it would fail on it's own when competing with true free enterprise capitalism.
In fact entering WWI actually sewed the seed for WWII by the Treaty of Versailles which economically punished Germany economically and created the anger and hostility that fomented WWII.
Our actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the many other places we have troops on the ground only insights those people to find ways to attack us, as Ron Paul suggest calling that "BLOWBACK" .
Why is it our responsibility to guard the 38th parallel in Korea or defend Taiwan if Red China should try and take the island back under their control ?
Communism is a failed economic system and it will fail under its own weight, all our military does today is feed the Military Industrial complex as D. D. Eisenhower warned us about.
IF we minded our own business and had the nuclear big stick and the will to use it do you really think we would ever have to use it? NOT LIKELY .
A change in our foreign policy where we brought all our troops home to U.S. soil and said we would not engage in low intensity conflicts around the world any more but if attacked we would simply send an ICBM to the capital of the nation from where the attack came regardless of whether the attack was civilian or military, and if it were a Muslim religious group that attacked our target would be Mecca with a 20 megaton nuke.
This may seen like a strange and insane idea but before the USA became a world power we said we would avoid foreign entanglements, What happened? Idealism ? Nope the war mongers and bankers who fund all wars on both sides for profit gained to much power.
So do you want to offer up your Sons and Daughters to serve as Cannon Fodder or will you set aside your nationalism and combative nature to give peace a chance instead of funding ever bigger war machines ?
Are we a Constitutional republic or have we morphed into an Empire seeking to rule the world
At least that is what the markets are letting known is the driver and that is certainly part of the story.
Traders see through the stories but pay attention to them as well as the larger picture. Here is the TLT, an ETF representing 20 to 30 year bonds; rising interest rates have been killing it price:
If, that linked article is right, 10-year rates are going to 3%, that could put mortgages and the 30-year up towards 5% -- without the FED moving the overnight rate (the only rate they really control). The market may see that as a way to keep Fed rates low longer (Bernanke threatened an increase on May -- see the result on the chart above). All rates are linked together from short to long - see the yield curve here. The "longer term rates" must stay above the "short term rates" for banks to stay profitable -- they make a lot of their money from the "carry" between the rate times, borrowing short and lending out long. Play with the graph on the right and move a vertical line (that appears when you click on it, or you can animate it with the button) across the time scale. Note the inverted curve (shorter rates higher than long term rates) at the 2000 stock market peak and the similarly flat curve at the 2007 stock market peak. Compare that to our current yield curve, held artificially low by the emergency (going on 6 years) federal policies, anchoring it at 0%. Normal economic cycling has been suspended by the 5-year emergency measures!
"So we want stocks to go up for years? Well hold down interest rates -- a crappy economy will help. So what if it cripples growth to a crawl? We will worry about that later. What a juvenile selfish approach to managing our economy!
Note the move to near 0% (bottom of the yield curve at the origin of the graph) overnight rates in 12/07, carrying through the present -- what makes that possible is the almost unlimited printing of money (TARP, QE1, QE2, Operation Twist), massively inflating the US money supply (To make matters worse, most foreign countries are in the same boat or even worse off!). While stocks may retrace in price somewhat, until that policy is rescinded (or at least there is an announcement of a time-table for rate adjustment (up), stocks should be buoyed at some intermediate level. If they start to drop very low, despite the extremely loose money policy, that would be a very very bad sign for the market as well as the economy.
TLT should bottom out around 90 to 100. If stock prices fall steeply, bond prices are likely to rise again.
For all my 4,550 Twitter Followers and FreedomConnector/ FreedomWorks Friends, I Have been Suspended on twitter, This, for the Third Day now! It is obvious that I have trampled on some LIBERAL toes or the Muslim BROTHERHOOD CAIR Terrorist Group that hold Our Politicians Captivated by some Mystical force!

I Stand As An American with the Freedom Of Speech, To Voice my Opinion And Disgust for the Destruction of Our American RULE OF LAW while they are steadily gaining the Strength of our own Federal Courts Against Us For voicing Any OPPOSITION to Them For ESTABLISHING Their SHARIA LAWS while our own laws are being ignored!!! Do you see or hear of how the Coptic Christians in Egypt are being savagely Butchered and their Churches Burned to the Ground? If WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT UNITE And Demand our Politicians to do What's Right For America, You are witnessing what is in store for CHURCHES Here In AMERICA!!! CENSORSHIP is running Wild in Our U.S. Military for the Protection Of Homosexuals, And It Is also running wild In Our MSM that is actually Part of the Problem!
