| ObamaCare: The individual mandate, which is the centerpiece of the Affordable Care Act, hasn´t even been phased in and already there are calls to increase its cost. Did we ever mention that this was a bad law? All the parts of the Democrats´ overhaul of American health care hang off the individual mandate, which requires those without health care insurance and aren´t in a government program to buy a plan or face a fine. The fine, which won´t go into effect until next year, is $95, or 1% of income, whichever is higher.

The bottom line: Affordable Care Act = Less affordable, and less care. But, the name is catchy.

The well-being of every citizen of the USA now depends on the Republican majority in the House to defund this nightmare...which will also have an effect on Obama´s gun grab ie: Deputy Doctors..because down the road, people who refuse to answer the Doctor´s question will most likely be refused healthcare.
See the slippery slope Obama has created, folks?

Obama & the Dems will do as they are now... Blaming the insurance companies for the increases & eventually bail out insurance companies that they pick as winners... Then we´ll have gov´t health insurance & they´ll pull it out of your check, just like SS !

I have seen this coming since Hillary introduced this "taking" of American working citizen´s income.
What will likely occur is that people won´t buy health insurance and if they are not working or not making enough money from work for the IRS to attach (meaning one is owed a refund), Obamacare cannot be funded by the producers.
As such, the Obamacare insurance will become an automatic income tax on your weekly, bi-monthly pay check...just like Social Security and the other automatic tax deductions from one´s pay check. This is also a back-door way to get out of the 50 or more employee health insurance coverage requirement. And this will NEVER be reversed.
So we are back in the same situation as we are now. Those who work will pay for health insurance for those who do not work. The onus will be taken off the employer and the costs absorbed by the employee and consumer.
How people did not see this coming astounds me.
Worse...those who have private insurance that we pay for ourselves are being threatened for covering our own health insurance by onerous regulations that will bankrupt private carriers.
I am stunned that BO has not pulled a Chavez, like BO did with private student loans with banks and just nationalize the health insurance companies.
When, not if, the health industry is nationalized, expect the quality you receive from the DMV, the Post Office, public schools and every other conceivable government agency (other than the IRS) to render the kind of care that most 9th world nations provide.
Just look at France and the UK.

The new BBC director general, Tony Hall, appears to have caved in to pressure during the first major test of his tenure, deciding not to play the song Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead in full on Radio 1 after a furious reaction from Tory MPs and rightwing newspapers. In a fudge likely to satisfy Lady Thatcher´s supporters but criticised by anti-censorship campaigners, the BBC will play a five-second clip of the track – which is being pushed up the charts by anti-Thatcher protesters – in a news item during the Radio 1 Chart Show on Sunday.

We tell ourselves, we parents of college-bound kids (not to mention other ordinary citizens), that American campuses really aren’t as bad as all that, that students can avoid the most tendentious indoctrinators, and that the press tends to exaggerate. And then we read headlines like “Kathy Boudin Teaching at Columbia” and sharp reality once again punctures the comfortable cushion of denial. I’m not speaking personally, because I’m among the hyper-vigilant and politically obsessed. I read the newsletters of the National Association of Scholars, a group of academics who bravely battle campus attempts to suppress free speech and free inquiry

A demon has been revealed in twenty-first-century Philadelphia, and the three broadcast networks have been enforcing a policy of silence about the discovery. So have most major newspapers. One reason may be that the trial of late-term abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell for multiple counts of murder is about an African-American killing mainly African-American babies -- and so the common sense among liberals, or, as a friend of mine would say, the "coven-sense," is that such a story disparages that community. This is something newspapers are loath to do.

As Carol King sang in her 1971 song, "It´s Too Late" for action on this information. The song´s lyrics (written by Toni Stern) are also very prophetic: "There´s something wrong here, there can be no denying." It seems that well-known self-admitted terrorist and "visiting scholar" Bill Ayers has confirming what the White House has previously denied -- that he held a fundraiser in his living room in 1995 for Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama.

The ongoing debate over gun control is just another attempt by liberals to make the average American dependent on the government in order to increase liberalism´s power. Contrary to many conservative pundits, the primary reason for liberals wishing to disarm the population is not to prevent a popular uprising against the effective liberal abrogation of the Constitution -- liberals lack the ability to even conceive such a thing could ever happen -- but rather to increase the dependency of the average American on the government. By disarming law-abiding Americans, liberals will instill fear into people. No longer will people be

WAR can break out at "any moment," North Korea warned today, as the US has declared they will retaliate if necessary. "The puppet group of south Korea is resorting to smear propaganda campaign to seek its comfort by forcing others into death like itself," KCNA said today. Warning of impending nuclear war, the chilling rant by the state run news agency continued: "The arrows indicating the merciless retaliatory strikes have already been drawn directing at the U.S. mainland, U.S. military bases in the Pacific and all other bases where the U.S. imperialist aggression forces station.

Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, took in $26,400 in 2012 by renting a cottage on the property of their Delaware home to the Secret Service, tax records released by the White House revealed. They netted $17,944 of that rental money. The arrangement under which the vice president charged the Secret Service personnel for staying on his Delaware property was first reported by The Washington Times in 2011. The 2012 payouts were part of the $385,072 in adjusted gross income the Bidens reported to the IRS in 2012, according to their 2012 tax returns.

Big Brother: The government we entrust our medical records to under ObamaCare has its EPA sharing confidential data on farmers with green groups and the IRS reading your email. Smile and wave at the EPA drone. The Environmental Protection Agency has acknowledged that it released personal information on potentially thousands of farmers and ranchers to environmental groups, violating their privacy rights and acting in collusion with private groups with private political agendas. In Nixonian fashion, the EPA has provided these environmental groups with the dossiers of farmers it has gathered to help them create an enemies list of potential polluters.

But Maine also has a long and proud tradition of military service, a legacy of world-class manufacturing, and a high percentage of personal firearm ownership. That´s why I invite manufacturers of firearms and related accessories—some of which are under siege in their home states by politicians pushing anti-gun legislation—to come to Maine.

We´ve been letting this threat grow for many years. The "bombshell," to use an unfortunate analogy, dropped on Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen.

The millions of Americans who are rushing this weekend to file their tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service will be relieved to have beaten the April 15 deadline on Monday. But thousands of them, along with thousands of other taxpayers who have already filed, will be stunned when they learn in the coming weeks and months that their returns have been rejected. Why would the IRS reject them? Because these taxpayers will turn out to have been the victims of identity-theft tax fraud. The increasingly common scam costs taxpayers $5 billion a year.

Maybe it´s a measure of progressives´ refusal to look back, to always move "forward." Otherwise, they should be celebrating right now. In fact, President Obama and fellow modern progressives/liberals should be ecstatic all this year, rejoicing over the centenary of something so fundamental to their ideology, to their core goals of government, to their sense of economic and social justice — to what Obama once called "redistributive change." And what is this celebratory thing to the progressive mind? It is the progressive income tax. This year it turns 100. Its permanent establishment was set forth in two historic moments: 1)

Pro golfers, golf writers, and TV commentators are up in arms that Tiger Woods was only given a 2-stroke penalty for his illegal drop on the 15th hole yesterday. Tiger said last night that he dropped his ball two yards behind his previous spot, clearly violating the rule that you must drop "as nearly as possible" to your original spot. Golf people are not happy about it. They say that the new rule is B.S. (or it´s at least being misinterpreted), and Tiger should DQ himself to save the integrity of the game.

Few Americans can not answer this question: who is the worst domestic mass murderer in United States’ history? Due to the United States media, most are aware that Timothy McVeigh slaughtered 168 people with a bomb in 1995. Most Americans also know the names of our three most monstrous serial killers: “The Green River Killer” Gary Ridgeway, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy. The U.S. media is again responsible for the general awareness of these men; these stories deserved — and received — national attention due to our common interest in personal safety, the rule of law

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act, said on Tuesday that the healthcare law, set to go into full effect in less than eight months, is “probably the most complex piece of legislation ever passed by the United States Congress” and “is just beyond comprehension.” Rockefeller said he is concerned that early missteps with implementing the healthcare overhaul may cascade into confusion and chaos. The law, said Rockefeller, is “so complicated and if it isn’t done right the first time, it will just simply get worse.” Rockefeller’s consternation echoes comments made earlier this

Here is something I don’t understand: liberals are often revealed as vile, vulgar hatemongers–not all of them, of course, but far too many–yet they never seem to pay a penalty at the polls. Why is that? Margaret Thatcher’s death has been the latest occasion for the Left to show its true stripes. All across the U.K., there have been demonstrations–vulgar at best, and violent at worst. In Bristol, lefties celebrating a Thatcher “death street party” started fires, destroyed property and battled police: This evening in Trafalgar Square, liberals have turned out for a long-planned celebration of Thatcher’s death:

With President Obama, there’s always a catch. In the 2014 budget he announced last week, Obama proposed a more accurate way of calculating the inflation rate for annual cost-of-living increases in Social Security. It’s a technical change in pursuit of honesty and good government. And if adopted, it would cause benefits to grow more slowly, though almost imperceptibly so. Republican leaders in Congress ought to be delighted since they had “championed”—Obama’s word—the idea in the first place. Then came the catch. The president’s price for adopting this gentle reform was hundreds of billions in new tax increases.

Then you notice the blue lights flashing. You´re savoring the satisfaction of seeing a trooper actually nab an aggressive driver — until you realize it´s you he´s pulling over.
