HHS Sec Sebelius Thinks Republicans Caused ObamaCare Woes

Well, finally, the Socialist-Communist Liberal Democrats, of which the Obama Administration is unanimous, admits that their gemstone project, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, AKA ObamaCare, is neither Protective nor Affordable. Just days ago Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, confided that their crown jewel and typically incompetent liberal example of socialist products was in her words, "a failure".

GOP RINOs Must Pay Penalty for Actions Allowing Illegals USA Entry

There is no question that the principal proponents of allowing illegal aliens to come into our country unfettered are the Socialist-communist liberal Democrats who absolutely must have these extra votes to not only remain in power but to change the U. S. into prisoner state with few, if any, freedoms. The people who provide the votes for these treasonists are high up on the chain of blame as well.

SHUTDOWN!  Whose Fault? Dont Ask Obama, Reid or Boehner

I guarantee if you do ask the three men named above the answers in simplest terms would absolutely be, in the order named above: "The Republicans." "The Republicans." And, "It's a complicated issue but the culprits have to be those who aren't satisfied with lower budgets, less spending and tax cuts; in other words, the Democrats."

Senator Tom Harkin Uses ‘Mouthism’ to Advance His Distasteful Politics

One of the most antagonistic and belligerent U S Senators, Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, is still his cranky old self and isn't holding back in his aggressive and confrontational mouthisms. What's a 'mouthism'? Well, it's something intentionally spewed from the mouth of a Harkin; not just any old Harkin. This one is a senator also named Tom from the normally and traditional conservative state of Iowa.

Arrogance and Audacity, Typical Obama Weapons, Are Helping ObamaCare

There is no end to Democrat arrogance and audacity. Democrats stand tall demanding that the Republicans in Congress just give a blank check to their wild and crazy spending and protection of insanely high cost health care provisions about to come into reality in just short days from now.

The Hoax of Global Warming, AKA, Climate Change and Death of Coal Mining

Not content with various country killing plans, Obama seeks now to apply more new rules through his infamous Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that greatly concerns those who say his new "change" will be even less loved than the nightmarish "Hope and Change" of 2008. These next new changes could possibly result in deaths to our citizens and excessively high costs in their applications; in fact, one of Obama's own former appointees who has deep concerns that these new coal regulations could kill, was published in the following FoxNews.com story on September 19, 2013.

Dems Angry With GOP for Opposing Millions to Planned Parenthood Navigators

Watch your wallets, America, the liberal, waste-your-tax-dollars Democrats are on another spending spree and some of it is going to those brazen and brash baby-killers at Planned Parenthood. As we all know, in Democrat thinking, the more infant murders committed, the more the tax shekels are doled out by our socialist commie lib Dems.

Michael Reagan Exposes the Liberal Hollywood Lies in ‘The Butler’

For those who have not been raised on another planet, it should not come as any big surprise, or even small for that matter, that the extreme left motor-mouth-mecca-moguls of Hollywood have once again maligned and manufactured a piece of trash movie about one of the greatest presidents since those from our nascent days of republic establishing while creating the United States of America.

Joining Forces to Kill Law Enforcement

One of the bravest, dependable, loyal to America and innovative sheriffs in the country is under heavy attack from anti-American forces mentioned in the heading shown above as they try to bring him to his knees and strip him of his authority. Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, State of Arizona explained in an online article published on Thursday, August 22, 2013 titled, "This Is Outrageous" in which he lays blame for most of the anti-American statements in the public domain on loose and porous borders and a lack of enforcement of existing laws for illegally crossing the border.

Conservatives Must Remove Traitor RINOs in Primaries or By Recall

The most nauseating of all political actions is the betrayal of the trust the voters place in their elected candidates after they get elected. It tears down any promised platforms for the future of the country as stated in the Party’s mission during the election campaign and tells the voters of that Party that it’s OK to go back on the promises they made; in other words, become a lying traitor to the Party’s pledges of action on the issues. Why is it that the overwhelming number of such ‘Benedict Arnolds’ are RINOs and have residence in the Republican Party?

Let’s Not Wait 3 More Years to Get Rid of Our Dictator

It's starting to feel like everybody except liberal Democrats and Muslims acknowledge the wrongs against our country that our usurper president has done, is doing and will do are impeachable; that's good enough for a start, but by whom for goodness sake?

As Obama Rules and Acts Out of Order So Go His Followers

It seems the more reckless and fickle the Obama Administration is with the truth, the more reckless and fickle his minions around the country are in showing their support for his debilitating ways of governing. It’s like they’re following in their master’s methods and tactics in order to keep turmoil boiling on the streets of America.

Bad News for Blacks; Country’s Financial Picture Spells Their Doom

The average person in the United States might think that Obama would be frantic and worried to a frazzle over the current national fiscal status and its dire outlook for the futures of the blacks of America. But does Barack Hussein Obama look or act worried and downtrodden in his daily cavorts around the country or even the world?

Another Reagan With Common Sense for Our Country

If ever a sane voice with common sense knowledge was needed in America it was in 1981 after the four disgusting and tragic years of failed logic and brain-deadedness of Jimmy Carter; it came with the presence of a true leader, Ronald Reagan, and lasted for eight years. We were also in desperate need of a similar happening in 2012 after four troublesome, country-killing traitorous, anti-American and anti-Christian years of Barack Hussein Obama; but what did we get? Another four years of the same, if not worse, emptiness of the same person after some very illegal and treacherous voting polls tampering. There's no way I am going to believe that Obama was fairly reelected.

Are the Pressures of Failure and Fear of Imprisonment Forcing Obama to Take Over Our Country?

We've had some bad presidents over the nearly two and one half centuries of our existence, but never as bad and more troubled as we have seen and continue to see from the likes of Barack Hussein Obama. This plant, quite unexpectedly, came on to our scene with absolutely NO proven background, and no positive credentials of any national significance. His administration since taking over the role of President in a Usurper status, has been the most administratively faulty and scandal plagued, foolish and perilously reckless and profligately doling out our taxpayers' money in a bankrupting manner outright to openly declared enemies whom he has befriended. Among these recipients of his grandstanding and our sorrow are the Islamic terrorists, corrupt anti-American United Nations members, as well as to personal friends and family. All this and more while our national debt numbers keep skyrocketing into never before heard of brackets that would embarrass a collective group of ultra rich oil barons.

We Should Declare a Second Independence on This 237th Independence Day

How much longer do you think we will have to wait to hear the tin-horn puppet of billionaire Communist George Soros, usurper president of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama give his ultimate order for Christians to cease and desist any and all mention or reference to their (bogus to him) religion in a public venue?

Why Can’t the ‘Gang of Eight’ Get It?  They and the Demagogue Senators Are “Drunk on Amnesty”.

BETRAYAL BY U. S. SENATE VOTE TODAY! Many columns and much other discussion about the new AMNESTY plan being cooked up by Harry Reid and his un-American promoters of the socialist-communist liberal Democrat Party and the infamous "Gang of Eight" led by the sleaziest person in our United States Senate, the Senator from New York (naturally) Charles Schumer and his rump-massager, Florida Senator Marco Rubio who almost had Americans convinced that he was a real American instead of the bleeding heart pretender he turned out to be.

Refusing Military Use of It,  Obama Violates First Amendment

The Family Research Council in Washington, DC publishes the Tony Perkins' Washington Update online and in its June 13, 2013 article "Furloughing Faith" Perkins states that Obama knows he can't outright veto the First Amendment to our United States Constitution, so he sneaks around it by refusing all military personnel their God given right to use it.

Christianity Becoming New “Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell” in Military

Our not so beloved wannabee Dictator, Barack Hussein Obama, is bound and determined that he is going to kill this country no matter what he has to do or say. Though not entirely, he is first targeting our military forces, those young people who voluntarily raised their hands and took an oath to defend our Constitution and our country against enemies, foreign or domestic.
