Imagine The Arrogance

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo had the worst coronavirus response in the country. Why should anyone read his book?---The Washington Examiner

"Gov. Cuomo, who presided over the worst pandemic response in the country and whose policy actively and directly made it worse, has no business writing a book to congratulate himself on a job well done. He deserves exactly zero plaudits for good leadership and should be remembered for, if anything, his “impossible mountain” of death."--Dr. Kevin Pham, MD.

Nobody should read Governor Cuomo's book, and given his horrific performance in dealing with the virus, it is astounding that he had the arrogance to write one.

Much of New York City remains shut down further exacerbating an economic catastrophe, with no tourism and local businesses engaging in guesswork to find out when they may fully reopen.

Cuomo is a disgusting individual, a leftist intellectual elite who thinks he knows how you should live your life better than you do. He should be promptly disposed from holding political office.

Words of Truth

With the help of the government, the Coronavius is destroying the United States of America.

Without question, considering the devastating impact the virus was expected to deliver to our nation, a bold, intelligently implemented plan was unfortunately needed.

America has cooperated in stunning fashion, particularly in the way they have relinquished, temporarily, our rights and freedom.

America is winning the health battle, but is now losing handily the economic part of this war. And that has got to stop. NOW!

It is time to move beyond the myopic view of health being the only factor dictating our actions.  We need to consider the economic ramifications, which are staggering. If we don't reopen right quick, we may pass the point of now return.

I have empathy and compassion for those impacted by this invisible enemy, but as an old friend, Lt. Commander Spock of Starfleet Command once said, "The needs of many outweigh the needs of the few - or the one.

Indeed. Truer words have never been spoken.

Open up America NOW!

Embracing Control

"Entrepreneus from the Republican-leaning National Federation of Independent Businesses backed in a letter Friday the tax policies of Republican gubernatorial nominee Ron DeSantis."

All About Control

Useful Idiots

Single Payer Always The Plan

You have seen stories on Obamacare premiums going up 25%?

Nobody who read Obamacare before it passed thought the numbers would work. That was always the plan, designed to fail with the public clamoring for the government to fix it, and fix it they will, replacing it with a single payer plan.

You were lied to, and slapped in the face via your wallet.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D:IL), whose husband Robert Creamer recently made headlines turning up in the videos outlining voter fraud put forth by James O'Keefe and his group Project Veritas, proclaimed the ruse to take the country to a single payer plan years ago. Take a listen:

 

Accurately noted by Rush Limbaugh, the democrats "can tie every life decision you make to health care that they are paying for, then they can deny you certain things. They can tell you can't eat that, drink that, can't go there, can't travel there, can't have too many kids, can't do this. They have total control over who you are and how you live based on how much your health care is gonna cost them. There will be death panels. There will be rationing. There will be decisions made on who gets treatment and who doesn't, and it's gonna be based on age. It's gonna be how some bureaucrat values your life versus somebody else's, who's worth more in terms of getting treatment so they live longer, who does the country miss less if they die sooner."

If elected, Hillary will eliminate choice from your health care coverage while further eroding your freedom.

Obamacare Implodes -- As Designed by Rush Limbaugh

Progressives: The Mad Dogs of Hell

Donald Trump's recent comments on immigration have lit a political fire that may well burn down many before being extinguished. The comments area as follows:

"The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems. Thank you. It's true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They're sending us not the right people. It's coming from more than Mexico. It's coming from all over South and Latin America, and it's coming probably -- probably -- from the Middle East. But we don't know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don't know what's happening. And it's got to stop and it's got to stop fast."

In response to the heavy criticism, Trump responded with the following comments:

 I was really criticized for the border, but the truth is it’s true. They think it’s like Mother Teresa is coming across the border. Well, I said drug dealers, I said killers, and I said rapists. They made the word rapists, they really picked that up. I tell you, I love the folks from South America. They’re friends of mine. Many work for me. Many are friends. Many buy apartments from me. I have great love for the Mexican people, and I always have, and they like me. No apology because everything I said is 100% correct. All you have to do is read the newspapers."

Donald J. Trump

While those who deem America oppressive and advocate for progressive ideals inclusive of open borders are continuing to blast Trump as incorrect, racist and bigoted through seemingly orchestrated waves of progressive politicians and media propagandists, the fact of the matter is Trump is quite accurate.

However, even with an introduction of the facts, those pesky leftists will pretend they don't exist and march right on with their agenda, which in this arena seems to be based on using hate speech laws to destroy America.

But Trump has indeed struck a serious nerve with these recent comments about illegal immigration, with two significant byproducts producing what appears to be a violent upcoming collision.

First, Trump has surged in the polls of those seeking the GOP nomination, as many in the electorate found very refreshing his challenge of open borders and the ridiculous effort, or lack thereof, of the government to halt illegal immigration. Although his comments could have been said with greater maturity, he was essentially accurate and I am among the many who are in agreement with Trump on this subject.

"I’ve never seen them this outraged, this vicious, this motivated, this coordinated – NEVER in all my years in politics, have I seen anything like the way the mad dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump ---Wayne Allyn Root

Second, the political correctness police has unleashed the gates of hell on Trump based on his "accurate" comments, including Univision and Macy's, both ending long relationships with Trump.  Univision says it will not broadcast the Miss USA pageant as contractually obligated due to Trump's comments, but Trump has counted with a lawsuit heavy on zeros.

Others who joined in boycotting Trump and Trump properties include the PGA, ESPN and regrettably, NASCAR and one of its signature sponsors Camping World.  The media, as you may suspect, made it out to be bigger than it was.

Rush Limbaugh noted that the GOP establishment has seemingly aligned against Trump's stance on illegal, may I repeat, illegal, immigrants. The list includes, of course, Jeb Bush, along with Marco Rubio and Chris Christie, each a 2016 candidate, along with GOP pundit Michael Steele and conservative columnist George Will. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus even called Trump to tell him to back off.

Hell, it's a Rhino convention!

Rick Perry condemned Trump for using such a wide brush in describing the illegal immigrants, which is odd because Rick Perry has a pretty darn good record in fighting the in-flight of the illegals on his Texas border.

When asked if he thought Donald Trump's comments on Mexicans have hurt the Republican Party, Mitt Romney relied "Yes, I think he made a severe error in saying what he did about Mexican Americans and I feel it was unfortunate." News flash to ole Mitt; illegal immigrants are not Mexican Americans, as astutely pointed out by a caller into Rush.

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is the only GOP 2016 candidate I have heard defend Trump in any form or fashion on this topic.

Some in the GOP consider Trump a mole, taking votes away from a potential winner in the GOP much as Ross Perot effectively did back in 1992.

 As Dustin Ulsterman of DC Whispers reports, "The path is being paved in real-time at this very moment and is apparently set to be unleashed “very soon.” An all out assault upon the Trump organization by Obama/Jarrett-approved operatives within the Mainstream Media to both humiliate and weaken the Republican candidate for his recent demand that something be done to secure the southern border."

Ulsterman added on his Facebook page the following accurate assessment of the trouble facing Trump: "Trump is in big-big trouble. They want to destroy him. It seems to have become very personal with them. He has threatened decades of effort in changing the face of the voting public. Another five years, ten at most, and conservatism will be an insignificant minority throughout most the country. Republicans will be an arm of the Democratic Party meant only to keep up the appearance of a choice. There will be no choice. There already is hardly one now. Donald Trump is disrupting that dynamic and they won’t stand for it. The countdown to his demise begins now."

In the real estate business myself, I have been a longtime fan of Donald Trump, admiring his work as a real estate developer.  As a candidate, while I am in full agreement with many of his positions, he is not among my favorites.

Although he considers himself one, I do not find him a conservative.  Trumps' positions on eminent domain, the Iraq war, taxation and health care are not in line with my principles and beliefs in those areas. In addition, Trump, who was a registered Democrat until 2009, has given money to many Democrats in the past, including Hillary Clinton, and speculated about Oprah Winfrey, among Obama's top supporters, being his vice presidential pick.  No Thanks!

America does not want a contest of Jeb Bush versus Hillary Clinton.  The reason Trump is rising so quickly is that Americans are tired of weakness and lies, and want somebody who is not afraid to upset the status quo, accurately stated by Ronald Reagan as "the mess we're in".

Trump is making some serious waves, tapping into an angry electorate, saying things most of the other candidates are too politically correct to say. Until such time a GOP candidate joins him in bucking those in the establishment, like this dope, and calling out those who are complicit in the destruction of America, I suspect he will remain high in the polls.

"People are angry that a commonsense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme. It's not extreme, it's common sense. We need to secure the border.” said 2016 GOP candidate Carly Fiorina.

Border security is just common sense, for those of us who still have some.

The Health Trap

As many of us accurately predicted, Obamacare as passed was unsustainable and would create such dysfunction cries for a quick fix would roar. It has begun, and the end game of a single payer plan, always the goal, is coming our way quicker than first thought, limiting choice and reducing quality of care for paying consumers, placing your health care in total control of the Federal Government.

Zero Hedge, citing a Wall Street Journal report, produces a thorough and scathing post detailing how the passage of Obamacare will permanently limit the efficiency of deliverance across the board, raising the costs, reducing competition and limiting accountability, quality and safety for the consumer.

Costs and premiums are rising, while you cannot actually keep your doctor.  Choices of plans are diminishing, and flexibility of coverage for the insured is being reeled in. Your relationship with your physician is no longer paramount, as he relationship that counts is between the company providing you with your plan and their biggest customer, which is the federal government rather than you.

In addition, Sarah Palin was quite correct.  There is the formation of death panels, which will become an unwanted intrusion into the relationship between the physician controlled by the government and you.  Sadly, the less the government values your contributions to society, perhaps indicated not by action but by age, the more cost prohibitive the necessary procedure becomes, significantly limiting the odds the patient receives the procedure.

President Obama, at a very minimum, misrepresented health care legislation to the American people. Elections have consequences, and sadly, thanks to idiots drunk on a sea of irrelevance who were fooled once again, we are about to pay up, and in a most punitive way.

Congratulations.

Voters sent GOP representatives to the Congress and Senate in droves in 2010 and 2014, sending a strong message they wanted this signature and partisan legislation defeated.  However, when the GOP presidential candidate was himself an advocate of government health care, just ran by smarter people than Obama, the conservative base shrugged.

It has gotten so bad, these politicians from both sides intoxicated with power, that many in the GOP, while publicly expressing opposition, quietly worked behind the scenes to help Obamacare limit across the finish line.  A weapon, the power of the purse, was never seriously considered. Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are very weak and need to be defeated, and as Mark Levin says, "Let them fight for their political careers as our response to their disgusting and pathetic behavior.”

The legislation was not about health care.  It, with a hidden concern of global warming, is about control of the people.  Progressive elites are concerned about population control and the effect the everyday habits of private citizens have on the earth. Obamacare has many tentacles within the legislation nobody has read, which leaves decisions to "the secretary" or to panels assembled with unelected  bureaucrats who are untouchable  by the electorate.

In addition, these panels may be globalized, and fall under the jurisdiction of the United Nations, again, with the main concern of global warming and population control.  Activities will be taxed, as the progressive elite utilize media partners in the promotion of health conscious lifestyles, whether you wish to be involved in them or not.  Budweiser will not be considered a healthy lifestyle.

When the dust settles on this new trade agreement, and it becomes clear America is taking direction from a global governance, health care will be spread across the globe to those who are not as fortunate. While this may be a wonderful thing to be involved in, the taxpayers will foot the bill whether they want to or not.

Bottom line is that you were lied to about Obamacare, inclusive of  its true objectives, the costs associated with it and the benefits, or lack thereof, you will receive from being enrolled.  The same big health care companies previously in charge are still in charge, except they answer to the federal government rather than to you. And the price to get in bed with the federal government, which comes from loss of directional control and financial freedom, will be steep, paid for at the end of the day by the end consumer; you.

Idiots voting have dire consequences, and we will soon learn that lesson the hard way.

Treated To A Trick

With Halloween fast approaching, the frightening aspects of Obamascare are coming to light for many Americans who have been living amongst the cobwebs, drowning in a sea of irrelevance while freedoms our forefathers fought and died for are being taken away.



As the website, mired in mind boggling levels of incompetence, becomes functional, additional information concerning Obamacare will become known to the low information trivial culture.  Truths that are discovered, ones that many of us warned about, will be revealed and will not be absorbed kindly by those who expect a free lunch.

Obamacare is based off young workers, who rarely utilize expensive health care, to carry the load for the aged population with high health care costs.  The manipulation of statistics by the administration and with criminally complicit media partners feeding the public propaganda, it is not  widely known that the unemployment rate for those young workers expected to accept the burned of the costs is at historically high levels.  Translation; without significant job creation in the very near future, the Ponzi scheme will fail to adequately fund itself, leading to a myriad of problems that potentially can lead to civil unrest.

Dumb asses failing to pay attention who voted in these progressive administrators of tyranny force all of us to get a government we deserve.  Freedom and liberty are contracting, while tyranny expands.

Don't worry; Obamascare won't be that bad. Those who cannot make a profit on the food service on Amtrack are in charge.  Big Brother will continue persecute individualism and rule for the greater good, increasingly boxing us all in.

Have I mentioned those panels of death?

Trick or Treat.

Find Your Founding Father

This past Sunday was Fathers Day, a very special day across the fruited plain. For those who no longer have the opportunity to visit with your Dad, we hope you had a day of embracing fond memories. Hopefully, for those that can, an opportunity was seized to visit and reminisce. For those who regrettably were unable to experience this gem of life, prayers are extended that in your life you will be able create a new path of love and family.  Certainly, special recognition goes out to Dads whose sons and daughters are away from home fighting for the home of the free and the brave.

I had a very enjoyable day with my family at Tropicana Field in Saint Petersburg.  Alex Gordon, picture below left in warmups, drove in two runs as the visiting Kansas City Royals defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 5-3.  Hall of Famer George Brett, an inaugural member of The Hall of BAHL pictured at right, looked like he could pinch hit at any moment.



 

A wonderful video turned up over the weekend, expressing in eloquence the sentiments many of us have for Dads.  Many are small memories of a special day, or maybe that summer trip, but recognizing the many sacrifices made on our behalf.  Please take a listen:

 

A real tear jerker indeed.  Make you appreciate life and the fragility associated with it.

Weighing heavily on the minds of many of us takes to a place of some other Fathers; our Founding Fathers.

In recent years, our government has been acting in violation of the founding principle set forth by our Founding Fathers. These are simple principles, focused on freedom and liberty and the right to pursue happiness for all.  These principles placed the power in the people, recognizing the incentives and dreams of the individual can produce great things which can benefit society in a ripple effect of ways.

Our current government leaders think government can dictate your affairs much more efficiently than you can, and aim to place you in a box by controlling your educational and health care opportunities, all while regulating and taxing success in effort to help those on the low end of the spectrum through wealth transformation.

This is not the place of the government to dictate, rather the market.  While most everyone welcomes a safety net for those who fall on hard times, having 47% of the population on government assistance is a marker of failure.

Our Founding Fathers would not be at all pleased.  In all his brilliance, Michael Ramirez of Investors Business Daily has again captured the minds of those who recognize what is happening in America.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Fathers Day.  With the day of recognition in the rear view mirror, it is time for all of us, Fathers of the great experiment of America, to honor not only our Fathers, but our Founding Fathers, in working to defeat on the battlefield of ideas those that wish to trample on those divinely inspired founding principles our Founding Fathers gave us.

Happy Founding Fathers Day!

The Heat Is On

You have no doubt heard the story about the frog and the boiling water?

As it goes, if a frog is thrown into a pan of boiling water, the frog will instantly jump right out of the pan. However, should you place the frog in the pail of water and then slowly bring the water to a boil, the frog will not recognize the change in temperature until it is too late and the frog will be boiled alive.

The story is usually descriptive in a metaphoric sense highlighting the inability of people to recognize significant changes that occur gradually until the point of no return has been reached. What is going on in America today has that same feeling, as a major transformation is underway with the greater majority of the citizenry oblivious to the changes.

Among the many instances of transformation currently at play are positions against the church, embracing reductions in military abilities and status, entrepreneurship, the lessening of the value of citizenship and American exceptionalism and individualism; gun control efforts, socialized medicine and American sovereignty.

The monetizing of the debt, expansive entitlements, bailouts, exponential stimulus spending, the devaluation of our currency, the departure from investor protocol and contract law, notable during the auto bailouts, wealth redistribution and the absence of the rule of law are among the economic examples.

That is quite a list; however, the lack of adherence to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is by far the most troublesome example, as the arrogant progressive ruling class deems themselves grantor's of rights through government, in contrast to the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness from God as noted by our founding principles.

President Obama views the Constitution as a imperfect document with deep flaws of Colonialism; a document of negative liberties which limits what a government can do instead of outlining what a government must and should do.

These positions are in extreme contrast to the vision of our Founding Fathers as you might imagine.  But as the average citizen is working double to keep their family afloat amid the horrendous current economic conditions, and fails to adequately recognize the reduction in their freedom that is occurring.

The water is really getting warm!

Sometimes, we need an old friend to help us see the forest for the trees, a friend who is stern but friendly, a great communicator who is grounded in first principles and faith, a clear visionary who embraces freedom and cherishes the United States of America.

Enter Ronald Reagan:

Health Care Mirage

Unfortunately, due to arrogant elected officials, who shoved down the throat of the American people a take over of one sixth of the American economy without one Republican vote, and the inability to accurately interpret the Constitution by Chief Justice John Roberts, we are likely stuck with The Affordable Health Care Act, or Obamacare.

The roll out of Obamacare is running into all sorts of issues, inclusive of much higher than anticipated costs, increased regulation and difficulties in implementation.  The architects of the Health Care Act, written before Obama got elected by The Tides Foundation, know exactly what the future holds with respect to the plan.  The majority of the politicians, who never read the bill, are useful idiots playing the political game.

And of course, there is the extreme propaganda of false, incorrect and deceitful information the American people were handed by the politicians who supported the effort. 

*Premiums will fall
*No Death Panels (Sarah Palin was correct as usual)
*You can keep your Doctor

Perhaps the most deliberate omission in the description presented the American people was that, although the ACA itself is not a single payer plan, it was a necessary stepping stone, or trojan horse, because the architects deemed jumping to a single payer plan would be met with anticipated public disapproval.  The people must be nudged that direction over time, with the elimination of choice, and freedom, along the way.  Make no mistake, a single payer plan is the ultimate objective, although the mainstream media did their best to conceal it.

However, many have publicly stated the intentions, including former Senator Barney Frank (D:MA)and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D:CA).  Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D:CA), not only admitted to the ACA being a precursor to a single payer plan, but gleefully spoke of her intention to destroy a private sector industry.  Imagine the arrogance.

Over at Verum Serum, Robert J. Samuelson has a great piece on the public plan mirage, although it fails to examine the extension beyond health care.  For example, as an investor in capital markets and real property, I found particularly interesting the portion of the health care bill that hits capital gains and real estate with an investment income tax of 3.8%. 

How does capital gains on investments or real estate relate to health care?  Well, obviously, it is not about health care.

As Ronald Reagan warned us back in 1961, a government method to impose socialism or statism on the people is through socialized medicine as a vehicle for increased taxation, regulation, surveillance and control. 



Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius really insulted the intelligence of the American people this week when she opined that the implementation of the law was much more difficult than previously thought.

“Probably no one fully anticipated when you have a law that phases in over time, how much confusion that creates for a lot of people. So that has been difficult,” Sebelius said. “When the law was signed and people immediately did not get affordable health insurance, they were surprised and a lot were disappointed but now understand that this was a gradual phase-in.”

Really? Who is she trying to kid? 

The planners recognize that most Americans do not follow closely enough to decipher the lies being told them on a consistent basis, not to mention changes to the language, and therefore are not privy to the inside baseball of the plan.  Since when are revenues tax increases?

Those of us who understand free markets and the importance of individual choice knew full well what a monstrosity of misery the law would be. We also understood the false premise the whole movement was based upon.  Charts like the one presented below would have been pure comedy if it were not sadly real and poised to wreak havoc on our liberties.

 

Unfortunately, the more the planners plan the more the plans fail. Governments don't tax to get the money they need but find needs for the money they get.  Every area of freedom will be invaded by the tentacles of bills of this nature, and with each victory the progressive elite planners achieve, the more freedom we the people lose.

Are You Justified?

A recent editorial in The New York Times was quite an eye opener.

The piece, by Steve Rattner, titled Beyond Obamacare, began with the following sentence: WE need death panels.

Are these the death panels Sarah Palin warned us about?  Not necessarily according to Rattner, but as he puts it, "unless we start allocating health care resources more prudently", the costs of Medicare will explode.

Instead of praising Palin for getting it right, which she routinely does, Rattner places blame on her for ranting about death panels which forced their elimination from the bill of a provision to offer end-of-life consultations.

If it were not for Palin, the issue of death panels would have been buried in the 2700 pages elected officials failed to read, otherwise known as The Affordable Heatlh Care Act, or, Obamacare.  Remember, the bill we have to pass to find out what is in it.

Rattner takes the obligatory swipe at Rep. Paul Ryan, (R:WI), who put forth his plan to save Medicare as part of the Ryan Roadmap for American, and praises Obama' efforts in curtailing costs when in actuality, every cost component associated with Obamacare has risen.

As economist and columnist Thomas Sowell of The Hoover Institute, and American jewell, so eloquently put it, “It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer universal health care.”.

Doing an end run around the truth misrepresenting the thought process for seniors as the end of life approaches is immoral and plain evil.  Obamacare does in fact call for a panel of unelected technocrats placed in position to ration health care services to seniors base on a set of criteria "to be determined by the Secretary". 

Will the Obamacare death panels take a similar position to famed playwright and Fabian Socialist George Bernard Shaw where seniors will be required to justify themselves?



Will those who cannot make a compelling case for themselves be denied adequate health care options as their life comes to an end?  Is this part of an effort to decrease population as a vehicle of social and economic justice.  Who will hold the unelected technocrats accountable? Typically, governments exercising these levels of control over the citizenry without accountability have abused power and have unleashed tyranny upon them.

The entire health care system is broke because of governmental interference in free markets.  Certainly, the principles our country was founded upon ask our citizenry to care for those who cannot care for themselves. Many avenues, from private donations to charities to churches, lead the way in this effort.

Individuals should create estate plans, complete with funding, to dictate how they should live their final years, with participation if desired from their family members. Unless the individual seeks governmental assistance, the government should not be involved in determining these end of life decisions.

The public sector can play a role of partnership in many areas of caring for the poor, but when the government seizes control and builds upon expanding entitlements in an effort create a culture of dependency, the residual is alarmingly negative.  Most importantly off the top, the individual is robbed of their identity.  In addition, unless population decreases (perhaps a goal of the progressives), taxes must be raised to accomodate increases in costs, unless of course care is rationed and death panels are insituted.  Raising taxes decreases economic growth and limits excess captial, which would usually leave government with less, as the Laffer Curve demonstrates.

Obama and his team have admitted Obamacare is a step toward a single payer plan. Ronald Reagan warned us that governmental health care was a vehicle to socialism, and he was right.  A glimpse of what happens when governments cannot deliver promised entitlements can be seen live now in Europe.

The way for America to avoid becoming a broken society like we see in Europe is to decrease entitlements and the creation of dependencey of its citizens by employing free market princples, where work is rewarded with fair wages with expanding opportunites for advancement, helping the citzenry regain their independence and identity.

Free market capitalism remains the best path to prosperity.  In an effort return America to prosperity, the first step would be to elect Mitt Romney as our next President, and begin the repeal of Obamacare and the death panels associated with it.

No individaul justification needed.

A Call for Minutemen to Rise for Freedom

Since the election of President Barack Obama, the Progressives, sadly interchangeable with Democrats these days, have been pummeled in virtually every significant election since. While some victories have been uplifting, perhaps the most significant was the election to the United States Senate by Scott Brown of Massachusetts.

Although the Affordable Health Care Act has evaded logic and has become law, the election of Scott Brown, (R:MA), turned a bright light on all the cockroaches in Washington. Brown is up for reelection this fall, and is being challenged by Elizabeth Warren, an anti-capitalist champion of socialism.

You may recall Warren, somehow thought of as a financial scholar, was appointed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D:NV) to chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel which implemented the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP. Warren is a collectivist and is not a friend to economic freedom to be sure.

Although Obama is currently getting pummeled for his recent heartfelt comments about business owners not being responsible for their success, it was Elizabeth Warren who first sung that tune. In a recent campaign advertisement, Brown hits them between the eyeballs. Take a listen:



You do not need to be known as Frank Luntz to know this is a very powerful video.

While Scott Brown is not a favorite of the conservative nation, he likely is just perfect for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Further, Brown supports economic freedom and recognizes for the most part the principles the Founding Fathers set forth for us.

Not one Founding Father would take a second to consider supporting Warren, and neither should any of the minutemen roaming Massachusetts.

Sack Social Justice Economics

The GOP has a great new ad detailing the dismal state of our economy under the direction of President Obama. Please take a listen:


Obama is not making mistakes in directing the economy. In fact, the results we are seeing are exactly what he is aiming to achieve, complete with a full on collapse of our economic system in an effort to achieve social justice.

The following campaign sticker would present a true reflection of his intentions.

Familiarize yourself with Cloward and Piven to gain a further understanding of how the orchestrated collapse of our economic system achieves the goals set forth; those of a heavy handed government controlling the masses through heavy does of entitlements implementing social justice. This system of government crushes the entrepreneurial spirit, disincentives the work and robs the governed of their identity.

Even if this were a sound goal, what are the odds a government 16 trillion dollars in debt could deliver entitlements as promised?

Taking the Affordable Heath Care Act as an example, Thomas Sowell wrote "It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it."

Many think is sounds like a great plan, but as Ronald Reagan noted, "The more the plans fail, the more the planners plan". In the event you have not noticed, the plans are failing, miserably.

Doubting Thomas

America is awaiting word from The Supreme Court regarding the Affordable Care Act, otherwise know as Obamacare. The announcement is scheduled to be forthcoming in June.

Last week, President Obama launched what could not be mistaken as anything other than an attack on The Supreme Court and their validity, sparking outrage across the political spectrum and signaling odds of him being tipped off to the result. Of course, with the overwhelming stench of arrogance surrounding Obama, it is often hard to tell where he is at.

I think Obama was tipped off that the SCOTUS will be overturning the Affordable Care Act as unconstitutional, which, to use Obama phraseology, most historical scholars and Constitutional law professors find it to be. If so, Obama, who will have spent most all of his first two years working to get this passed while the economy of the country is in a downward spiral, did all this work on something unconstitutional, something given his background, he might have known.

For sure, Obama knew all about it. Obamacare is not about providing you and your Grandma health care, but rather gaining sizable control over your behavior. Familiar with Cass Sunstein are you? But voters will not appreciate Obama wasting time on this freedom snatching legislation governing against the will of the people, and therefore, ahead of the election Obama feels he must discredit the Supremes to blame them for taking way the "right" of health care from the people.

With the attack on the Supremes by Obama last week, it has begun.

My sources inform that Justice Thomas will write the opinion, and somehow the administration must agree. Seemingly on cue, out of nowhere, comes Obama surrogates to discredit Judge Thomas. Enter Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who emerged over the weekend to hammer his usual targets, Caucasians, Wall Street and America. However, Justice Thomas was included in this tirade, and the reason behind that is that he must singularly, outside of the court itself, be discredited since he will author the ruling.

These are the tactics of a community organizer, lessons learned well as a disciple of Saul Alinsky and his rules for radicals. Ridicule opponents, marginalize them and achieve your desired outcome by any means necessary, with morality a non issue.

You could say that it is sad our President has stooped to these levels, but you have not been paying attention. Obama has operated this way from the beginning, with two examples being uncalled for slap downs Of John McCain and Paul Ryan; behavior not becoming the President.

Attacks on the Supremes, and Judge Clarence Thomas, will continue, so be advised. Don't doubt me, or Judge Thomas, for that matter.

Constitutional Destruction

A few years back, fearful of what many knew but so few could see, Jon McNaughton began a assemblage of a striking and magnificent painting, which constructs the picture in summation of how this country has gotten to a point where transformation from our founding principles could take place.

In recent weeks, seemingly in desperation although his arrogance would suggest otherwise, President Obama has attacked anybody and everybody, save the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama attacked the Catholic Church, oil companies and has verbally assaulted many of the precious pillars of our government. With the media complicit in his back pocket, Obama has hammered Congress in slamming Rep. Ryan (R:WI) and his efforts at avoiding a catastrophic debt crisis and the blatant verbal intimidation of the Supreme Court of the United States.

There is complete disregard for the check and balances our system has built in. When the President fails to achieve goals legislatively, his unelected Czars implement policy through organizations like the EPA and HHS, where the actions operate without close scrutiny and proper accountability. Governing against the will of the people, Obama used every trick and bribe imaginable to pass Obamacare, which with the individual mandate is unconstitutional.


President Obama has declared that he finds the Constitution an imperfect document, because it limits what the government can do rather than what the government should and could do. Thank God for that, or else charlatans like Obama could wreck the country.

While hints of an imperial presidency have been swirling for some time, the attack on the SCOTUS has raised many an eyebrow, with with the Investors Business Daily editorial page hammering him and Judge Andrew Napolitano suggesting we are close to totalitarianism in a recent FOX News interview.



Massive government spending is placing smothering debt on this nation which is unsustainable and will lead to a crash of the economic system. Quantitative easing is destroying wealth, and high regulation and taxation and is handicapping growth. Civil unrest is being stoked by the administration along with attempts to discredit each of our pillars of founding governance. Contract law has been broken, most recently during the MF Global default.

Quite frankly, I am astonished more people fail to recognize the overwhelming evidence that our President is not acting under the Constitution he swore to uphold. In fact, he is working to undermine it, and replace it molded to his hearts content. As he has stated, it is an imperfect document in his eyes, and through appointing Supreme Court Judges who share his disdain for it and by circumventing Congress and legislative oversight, we have on our hands a very dangerous and arrogant man who given another term could alter our history forever.

As is stands now, we are one Supreme Court Judges appointment away from being nothing short of Venezuela. By the way, contrary to media reports, they do not hold free elections there, so rather than a representative republic, we would have on our hands a dictatorship. Benjamin Franklin said the founders gave us a republic, if we can keep it. The moment is ciritical, and this is our responsibility; therefore, Obama simply MUST be defeated.

Hidden Costs

The Supreme Court is hearing the case of Obamacare this week, and everyone is trying to read the tea leaves. For me, and I am not a lawyer, there is no doubt the law is unconstitutional and I cannot imagine how the SCOTUS could see it any other way.

Beyond that, you recall that Nancy Pelosi and the gang, without reading the bill, were set to resort to deeming it passed if they could not pole vault over the fence against the will of the American people to get it done. The arrogance was beyond appalling.

Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, we were lied to about the costs. One may argue the costs were not known with any sort of accuracy, a problem in itself, but cost estimates were put forth as factual when everyone knew all along they were misrepresented and understated. One representative sounding the alarm was House Budget Chairman, Paul Ryan, (R:WI).

Ryan is the smartest guy in the room on these budgetary items, and he joined Larry Kudlow to inform the electorate once again about the extremely serious financial situation Uncle Sam find himself in, and how Obamacare will not help, but will ratchet debt up exponentially culminating in a crash of the system. Ryan describes it as the most forecast able crisis in history, and we are morally bound to take measurable steps to prohibit it from occurring. Kudlow issues his spot on take, and then Ryan weighs in. Take a listen:



No sane individual operates a budgetary balance sheet in this irresponsible manner, unless you are otherwise motivated to bring about significant economic harm to the prosperity of the United States.

The government running health care is socialized medicine, which gives government the key to the doorway of abandoning freedom for its citizenry. Ronald Reagan warned us about this 50 years ago.

One can only hope the Supreme Court puts our arrogant government of central planners in their place and keeps the power in hands of the people, as our Founding Fathers wanted.
