Jimmy Kimmel’s Failed Test

An article from National Review

By The Editors — September 21, 2017

‘This is not my area of expertise.”

That’s the first intelligent thing Jimmy Kimmel has had to say about health-insurance reform.

Kimmel is a late-night comedian and the father of a beautiful three-month-old boy who was born with a congenital heart defect. Kimmel has set himself up as the conscience of the current debate over the last effort at reforming health insurance, and Washington now talks of the “Jimmy Kimmel test,” which demands that insurance companies be obliged to cover preexisting conditions without exception or penalty. Kimmel has on his television program twice called Senator Bill Cassidy, author of insurance legislation under current consideration in Congress, a liar for putting forward legislation that would not treat preexisting conditions the way Kimmel would prefer to see them treated.

We wish the very best to Jimmy Kimmel and his young son, Billy, but holding up cute babies is a dumb way to approach complex policy questions.

It should be noted that the changes considered in the Cassidy bill would have no effect whatsoever on Billy Kimmel, inasmuch as those changes deal with the coverage of preexisting conditions in insurance policies sold on the individual market. Even the most precocious babies are not generally shopping for their own insurance policies from the womb; most of them are, like Billy Kimmel, covered under their parents’ group policies — if they are covered at all. And that latter condition is, of course, what this is really all about.

The question of what to do about preexisting conditions isn’t about insurance companies suddenly deciding that they will not cover this or that medical issue for people who have maintained continuous insurance coverage, but rather is a question about what to do about uninsured people with medical conditions who have decided to seek insurance. The basic architecture of the Affordable Care Act mandates that insurance companies essentially ignore preexisting conditions when writing new policies, obliging them to insure against events that already have happened — essentially requiring them to bet big on the Falcons in Super Bowl LI. This turns insurance on its head: Insurance is a risk-mitigation tool that does not work well when the event already has happened. It creates a perverse incentive: If there is no cost for the coverage of preexisting conditions, then people have no incentive to buy insurance at all until they are sick and need the benefits. In order to mitigate that problem, the Affordable Care Act mandates that every American buy insurance and maintain coverage, a mandate that has not been robustly enforced. That means insurance pools composed of sicker and older populations — which is why we have skyrocketing health-insurance premiums and insurance companies pulling out of markets left and right.

The Affordable Care Act is a poorly designed piece of legislation. It is easy to point to charismatic beneficiaries and conclude that it has been worth the trouble, but everything looks like a winning proposition when you count only the benefits and ignore the costs. In reality, the ACA led to millions of Americans experiencing the anguishing disruption of insurance arrangements with which they are perfectly content. President Barack Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress promised substantial savings from the ACA, but in fact the opposite has been the case. Insurance today is less affordable than it was when the ACA was passed, and it is in some ways less accessible, too: Many Americans have fewer choices today than they did before the ACA — or, in many cases, have no choice in providers at all.

One of the problems with having the national discussion led by lightly informed celebrities such as Jimmy Kimmel is that people begin to believe their own rhetoric, in this case that Republican health-insurance reformers are motivated by sheer malice or by obscure financial considerations. (Never mind that the biggest financial players in this case, the insurance companies themselves, oppose current Republican reform efforts and largely supported the ACA.) That makes discussing the actual problems at hand, and potential solutions to them, difficult or impossible. Republicans made a critical mistake in 2008 and 2009 when they rejected the enterprise of health-insurance reform per se, repeatedly insisting only that “we have the finest health-care system in the world,” oblivious to the fact that a great many Americans were unhappy about that system or anxious, with good reason, about the security and cost of their own health-care benefits. Democrats are today making the same mistake: Obamacare is now sacred writ so far as they are concerned, and the prospect of revisiting it a profanity. But, of course, many Americans remain dissatisfied with the current state of health insurance, and Republicans are taking small, awkward steps toward addressing that.

It is not the case, as Kimmel and others insist, that the Graham-Cassidy bill would throw 30 million people off their insurance plans or that it would simply cut off federal funding for insurance subsidies in 2026. Such dishonest histrionics do not advance the cause of responsible health-insurance reform. It would permit the states to seek waivers from the federal preexisting-conditions regulation and experiment with different approaches of their own. Ironically, the effectiveness of the Democrats’ charge that modifying the preexisting-conditions rule would see Americans dying in the streets illustrates why such painful changes are unlikely to be proposed or to pass: Such measures are unpopular, and state governments are held democratically accountable to their people, often in a much more immediate and rigorous way than the federal government is. Experimenting with different approaches to preexisting conditions would in fact be desirable; there is no reason to suppose that the best solution for New Jersey is also the best solution for Oklahoma, and the only thing that is entirely clear about the preexisting-conditions approach put forward in the ACA is that it is not working.

Ted Cruz Apologizes to ‘New Yorkers Who Have Been Let Down by Vile, Liberal Politicians’

Ted Cruz offered an "apology" to New Yorkers offended by his criticism of "New York values," but used the apology to slam the vile "liberal politicians" in office. We must recognize the damage done by these despicable Liberals. Those who say Liberals can still have values are lying to themselves. How can you have and decent values if you re-elect a Marxist, you support ripping live babies into pieces, you support trashing our Veterans and Police Officers, you support funding terrorism through Iran. If you think those are people with values, then there is no wonder our Country is crumbling.


I think we all know what Ted Cruz meant by "New York Values". There are many of New Yorkers who come down to Florida and inform us how horrible it is to live by the Limousine Marxists in New York. Of course we love and support the true Conservatives in new York. With that being said how can we forget how the Liberal Fascists from new York spread like cancer into other states in America.

Did the rest of us forget that New York elected that Commie, Mayor Bill de Blasio? Or what about the anti-gun, Anti-American Governor Cuomo? Did we forget the Liberal MSM traitors in new York who constantly stand up for Thugs, aka Black LIES Matter while being silent when radical islam terrorists, illegal aliens or Black Thugs attack and kill?


So Ted Cruz stated:

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio have all demanded an apology and I'm happy to apologize.


I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who have been let down by liberal politicians in that state.

I apologize to the hard working men and women of the state of New York who have been denied jobs because Governor Cuomo won’t allow fracking. Even though there had been many high paying jobs just south in Pennsylvania, New Yorkers are denied the ability to provide for their families.

I apologize to all the pro-life and pro-marriage and pro-second amendment New Yorkers who were told by Governor Cuomo that they have no place in New York because that’s not who New Yorkers are.

I apologize to all the small businesses who have been driven out of New York city by crushing taxes and regulations.

I apologize to the millions of unborn children, many African-American and Hispanic, whose lives have been taken by politicians who relentlessly promote abortion on demand with no limitations.

I apologize to all of the African-American children who Mayor de Blasio tried to throw out of their charter schools that were providing a lifeline to the American Dream.

I apologize to the people of New York who are offended when the New York Daily News lambastes anyone who prays for victims of violence.

I apologize to the people of faith who are ridiculed and insulted by the New York media.

And I apologize to all the cops and the firefighters and 9/11 heroes who had no choice but to stand and turn their backs on Mayor de Blasio, because Mayor de Blasio over and over again stands with the looters and criminals rather than the brave men and women of the law.

And to the millions of conservatives–working men and women in New York, with common sense values, trapped by the failures of your political leaders–I am glad to tell you, help us on the way. 2016, like 1980, will bring America back.

ObamaCare Will Crush The Future of Young People

This Video Link has been taken down a few times as it should not surprise anyone, as Communism and Marxism grows.

This is a great Youtube Video called, ObamaCare Stinks for Young People by Julie Borowski.
Plain and simple, ObamaCare stinks. What did young liberals expect from a Community Organizer who is set on crushing America’s future?

ObamaTax is a mess and is especially bad for young people. It is already causing insurance premiums to skyrocket and People are being thrown off their current Health Insurance plans.

More and more people are getting their work hours reduced, as we are becoming a Country of part-time workers. The Marxists and Commies must be proud of their wayward son, Barry.

Also the ObamaCare exchanges will raise health care costs for young people and it’s only making health care in this country worse. Every American must help to Repeal ObamaCare and support free market reforms to health care.

Allen West VS Obama

Allen West is a proud American who served his Country well. Barry Obama is a first-generation American (allegedly), a descendant of West African Muslim slave traders. A big difference in the two. Allen West is a warrior, Barry a sort of limp wristed guy trying to put up a façade of being tough. Those of us who don’t live in the dark ages (that means watching Cowards in the MSM talk about their Messiah) can see through him. Barry Soetoro had Larry Sinclair and now he has The Obama Boy. That says it all!

Help Allen West Stand up to the Liberal Policies of the Obama Regime

Prevent Washington's $494 Billion Tax Increase

Dear Patriot,

Help Allen West Stop government officials who have shown a blatant disregard for the Constitution.

Next January, if Congress fails to act, a $494 Billion dollar tax increase will crush the American economy.

The Washington Post calls it Taxmageddon. The Congressional Budget Office says it will lead us into recession. It would be an increase of unprecedented proportions and I need your help to stop it.

Out of state, extreme left special interests have come into our district with the goal of defeating us at any cost to ensure these massive tax increases and other extreme left-wing policies continue. We've set a goal of raising 494 more contributions before the end of month to stop this $494 billion tax increase. Will you contribute here before midnight?

Taxmageddon poses a very serious threat to the future of our children and grandchildren. If we fail to act, America risks becoming a nation of dependency and decline.

Allen West is working to stop these devastating tax increases, and he is committed to creating a flat and broad-based tax structure that encourages investment and innovation, and rewards hard work.

Please stand with Allen West me by making any contribution which you can.

Allen West, one of the few Members of Congress who supports America and is fighting Sharia Law advocates. He needs your help to stop Washington's pending $494 billion tax increase.

Please help Allen West HERE to meet the May fundraising goal.

Allen West Gives MSM A Beatdown

Allen West is having none of CNN Commie Kyra Phillips as she attempts to pigeonhole him into a Homophobe on gay marriage. Congressman Alan West refuses to play the MSM games that are only distracting from the disaster Obama Regime. Allen West is  not supporting the Liberal agenda and Political correctness. He will kick their A#%!

Mark Levin Rips Left Wing Scumbags

The Great One, Mark Levin, talks about hypocrisy on the left. He rips the freaks in the Democrat party, Barry Soetoro, the worst president ever, and the pervert Bill Clinton. Mark Levin also explains correct interpretation of the Constitution of the United States.

The Leftists and Nazis get so angry that Mark Levin mentions that Bill Clinton, aka Silly Willy, is a Pervert. Would any of these Left Wing Nazis feel the same if their Daughter, Sister or Mother was Juanita Broaddrick?

Yet Hillary, her thighness, has the nerve to attach Rush Limbaugh when her Husband is one of the most well-known Misogynists in the United States of America.

MORT’s Meanderings

OBAMA:

He doesn’t know what he doesn’t know – and he doesn’t care.

What we know is that he has total contempt for The Constitution of the United States. Further, that he is in a full-court press to grab total control over the lives and fortunes of each and every individual in the nation, legal or illegal. Let there be no doubt about it.

We know that his ambition and his arrogance grows daily, in quantum leaps.

He does his best to project the image that, ‘His word is his bond’. However, we know from sad experience over the last three years that these bonds are junk bonds; they are as worthless. He is not to be trusted with our precious freedoms.

We’ve come to realize that his slavish adherence to Alinsky’s ‘Rules for Radicals’ is his raison d’etre – his reason for being. Only when he speaks in the context of these writings can he be taken at his word.

We know he despises the military. How else to explain his attempt to charge wounded veterans for health care & treatment at VA hospitals. Is anything more contemptible?

We know that his default response to any criticism of his failed policies and his totally unconstitutional mandates, is to point the finger of blame at some else. His arguments, so replete with ‘government agency figures and statistics’ are transparently, blatantly disingenuous. To be quite candid, he is a bald-faced liar.

Again, regarding his tactic of choice – ‘finger pointing’ – it is so narcissistic. A true leader points his finger in the direction he intends to lead his followers. Obama points his finger – always the finger of blame – to fend off and avoid any acceptance of responsibility for his actions or his calculated inaction.

This ignorant, unaccomplished smooth-talking Chicago political hack was elected by a combination of special-interest groups with a toxic mix of motivations including - -

white guilt, racist bias, welfare queens, unprincipled seekers of unearned government benefits, life-long professional students, Communists, Marxists, Socialists, truly anti-American groups (i.e., George Soros & Co.), corrupt Unionm bosses, radical Islamists both foreign and home-grown plus, a myriad of wicked, evil and vicious deviants bent on the destruction of our nation and all it stands for. Did I miss anyone?

Barack Hussein Obama is an amalgam of all that can go wrong in a human being. He is a morally corrupt political street thug who is physiologically incapable of a single thought that is not self-serving to his narcissistic ambition.

If there are enough misguided, clueless, careless, unprincipled, bribed or intimidated voters that are influenced by the Democrat spin-meisters and propagandists, to cast their votes to re-elect this miscreant - - they will bear the full burden of blame for a second term of Obama tyranny that will eclipse the first with unbearable taxation, reckless spending and a complete subversion of our national security; a complete destruction of our economy and a total dissolution of the entirety of our religious and personal freedoms.

There will be no turning back. There will be no savior, no redemption. We will be turned into an impotent shell of the exceptional nation we once were. We will be under the total control of the most tyrannical, diabolical, violent band of oppressers this world has so far seen.

Think your vote doesn’t count? Think again. This time, use your brain.

Exposing Liberal Media Bias and Double Standards

We have a fantastic letter below written by Brent Bozell. He sent it to the MSM (Media Supporting Marxists) at CNN (Communist News Network). Brent Bozell is truly an American Hero and exposes the Liberals who call themselves Journalists. The Letter mention Pierce (Piers?) Morgan. Has this Piers Morgan shown his true colors as a Phony Talk Show Host? He is just a Liberal (hypocrite) in an expensive suit that props up Barry Soeotoro. Don’t we have enough phony liberals in America yet now we have to import these Clowns?

Not enough Americans know who he is and that is a shame. Any Person who values Life should be aware of Brent Bozell. No Mr. Bozell will not spout out his favorite part of the Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals” like Michelle Obama does. No, Brent Bozell is probably not known by the Barry Soetoro Supporters because Mr. Bozell does not worship Karl Marx.

Bozell Letter to Piers Morgan of CNN: Coverage of Limbaugh Apology is a Double Standard

MRC President Brent Bozell sent the following letter to CNN Host Piers Morgan on Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Sam Feist, CNN DC Bureau Chief, and Jim Walton, CNN President were cc’ed.

Dear Mr. Morgan,

I am disturbed by your ongoing double standard when it comes to coverage of political rhetoric. On your show, you recently called Rush Limbaugh out for his insulting comment about a Georgetown law school student: “Limbaugh’s disgusting comments are the work of an archaic old dinosaur living in a warped, ugly swamp, who thinks it’s okay to degrade decent young women for sport and ratings. Well, it isn’t it. Shame on you, Rush Limbaugh.” Fair enough. However you have seemingly turned a blind eye to the similar rhetoric of one of your guests – Bill Maher.

Rush Limbaugh made the regrettable blunder of calling Sandra Fluke, who testified on behalf of the administration’s mandate against religiously affiliated institutions, “a slut.” Let’s all agree Limbaugh crossed a line. He agrees. He issued an apology to Fluke “for the insulting word choices.” This should be sufficient, but it’s not and the skewering continues.

On the other hand, when Bill Maher and other leftist commentators make similarly inappropriate remarks, they are practically ignored. To be fair, you are not alone when it comes to such a double standard. Indeed, CNN and the media overall are guilty of such unacceptable hypocrisy.

Nearly a year ago (March 18, 2011), Bill Maher on his HBO show used far more vile sexist language to insult Sarah Palin as a “dumb twat.” Even after NOW condemned Maher — “Stop degrading women with whom you disagree and/or don’t like by using female body terms or other gender-associated slurs” — CNN never once bothered to report it.

Instead, CNN has warmly received Maher on its programs and elevated him as a leading “progressive” political pundit. Over the past year, Maher has appeared on CNN five times, plus another appearance on CNN’s Headline News Network. Not once was he asked about his sexist comments, or the scores of other vulgar and offensive remarks he makes on a regular basis.

Indeed, when Maher appeared on CNN on March 22, just 4 days after attacking Palin — interviewer Eliot Spitzer (“In the Arena”) refused to raise the issue. Instead, he lavished Maher with praise: “Your show is brilliant. I love watching it.”

During the current Limbaugh controversy, only one CNN host (Anderson Cooper) raised the double-standard issue, noting very briefly on March 2 that “Bill Maher, on the left,” has “said some pretty outrageous things,” but offering no examples or any further discussion of Maher.

And there are many more examples of such lewd comments made by Maher at CNN. For a year, CNN has been pampering and promoting Maher.

And it’s not just CNN. Limbaugh has been singled out and condemned across the national media – ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today. How many of these outlets have condemned Bill Maher with equal vigor for his attacks on Palin? How many of these outlets condemned him at all? Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a “slut” on his radio show. MSNBC suspended him for a week, but none of Schultz’s advertisers dropped his show under media pressure. There was no pressure. Some of the same sponsors now pulling out of Rush’s show still support Schultz.

In the interest of promoting and cultivating a meaningful dialogue based on mutual respect, you and other prominent figures in the media, including other journalists at CNN, ought to report such defamatory personal insults made towards all public figures.

Double standards only serve to make these situations worse. If you are really serious about promoting civil discourse you should treat figures like Maher, Schultz and other liberal pundits the same way you treat Limbaugh.

I think a constructive conversation can be had in the media addressing such a double standard, and you are certainly in a place to do just that.

Sincerely,


L. Brent Bozell III

The Old Country Preacher

An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young Men his age, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it. One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects...

1. A Bible.....

2. A silver dollar.....

3. A bottle of whisky......

4. And a Playboy magazine.....

'I'll just hide behind the door,' the old preacher said to himself. 'When he comes home from school today, I'll see which object he picks up.

If it's the Bible, he's going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be!

If he picks up the dollar, he's going to be a business man, and that would be okay, too.

But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken bum, and Lord, what a shame that would be.

And worst of all if he picks up that magazine he's going to be a skirt-chasing womanizer.

The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's foot-steps as he entered the house whistling and headed for his room.

The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table...

With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, while he admired this month's centerfold.

'Lord have mercy,' the old preacher disgustedly whispered.

He's gonna be a Democrat!

Befuddled Florida Democrats

Dear Editor of The Sun Sentinel:

The whining has already begun and to listen to Prof. Robert Watson, (Op-Ed, Sun. Feb. 12 in the S/S), you'd think the Republicans did something dastardly by shuffling their Congressional candidates for this coming election in November. What Watson, and his fellow Democrats, realize is that this shift will give the Republicans an extra Congressional seat by inserting Adam Hasner as a candidate in the restructured 22nd C.D. Most of the new 22nd C.D. was once the area that was Hasner's district when he represented it in the state legislature, and where he was very popular.

Given the chance, wouldn't the Democrats have done the same thing if it benefited them? The odds now favor that Republicans, Tom Rooney, Allen West, and Adam Hausner, will win in their C.D. races, and the Republicans will increase their Florida representation in Congress.

So Professor Watson, as a spokesman for the befuddled Democrats, will huff and puff and try to blow the Republicans "House" districts down, because they are going to lose a Congressional seat. Amen!

Sincerely,

Chuck On The Right Side

Allen West Is No Coward But Patrick Murphy is a Rat

This Patrick Murphy, calls Allen West a Coward? Patrick Murphy is a rat, a lowlife traitor who attacks our Veterans. That’s right I said it! (Hat Tip to Levin)

Murphy calls himself a Democrat in 2012? The Democrats are weasels who gave us the Marxist Leader. The Democrats either supported Barry or they put their head in the sand while their party shoved this Marxist Regime down our throats.

While their Barry, the Democrat Leader was organizing Racists at ACORN, Allen West was fighting for our freedom. Allen West was dominating Radical Islam while Barry Soetoro was hanging around Bill Ayers driving in Limos with Larry Sinclair. Allen West was getting shot at while Barry Soetoro was sitting in Rev Wright’s so-called Church with Racist rants about Jews and Whitey. Barry Soetoro was getting high and hanging around self-described Communists while Allen West was getting up at 5 in the am and doing calisthenics.

So the Democrat’s and self-loathing Whites who placed the real Coward in the White House need to respect Allen West and our Military! Or as Allen West says “Get the Hell Out of the United States”!

Allen West Will Not Support Marxism

We see the majority of the MSM in Florida is still supporting Barry and the Radical Democrats. Liberals will give up their rights just to say they support the Political Correctness that will kill us all. That is why we need more People like Allen West, Marco Rubio and Adam Hasner down here in Florida.

Below is a Letter from our Friends at Chuck On The Right Side.

Dear Sun Sentinel Editor:

Senior editorial writer of the Sun-Sentinel, Doug Lyons, says that black Rep. Allen West doesn't represent black Americans because he doesn't support the Marxist -Socialist line as promulgated by the self-appointed black leadership.

Doug says that the West message doesn't resonate in the black community because it doesn't address their needs. What are their needs, more welfare, more government, more affirmative action programs, more handouts? Well, have their needs been met by the present day liberal Democrat policies that they have been embracing for the past 70 years? With a black community that has a 16% unemployment rate, an unwed birth rate of 70%, and a close to 40% school dropout rate, is that the model that should be embraced by the black community?

Maybe the views and policies of Rep. West is what the black community should be clamoring for instead of the "plantation" type policies of the Democrats.

I think Doug Lyons should re-think his failed philosophy and latch onto the Rep. Allen West bandwagon.

Sincerely,

Chuck On The Right Side

Mike Lee Defends The Constitution

Senator Mike Lee Fights Back Against Obama's Unconstitutional "Recess" Appointments

Barry Soeotro and his Regime despise the Constitution. Very few People will defend the Constitution. Luckliy in Florida we have Allen West and Marco Rubio. Utah has an All-Star with Mike Lee. Barru Soeotor is shredding the Constitution at every turn. He has lowlifes like US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader openly supporting Foreign Constitutions over America. These liberal Thugs will not be happy until the Middle Class is lost and the country is renamed ameriKa. Comrade Soetoro wants to rule us forever and self-loathing weasels would allow it.

Obama Does Not Dig Typical White People

Flashback!

Thursday, 21 August 2008:

"Typical White" people question Obama's biography

I've been pissed off ever since Obama called his grandmother a "typical white" person as he threw her under the bus. What does that mean, "typical white"? Can you imagine ANYone saying "typical black person"? I've never heard anything like it in my life.

So I was pissed off to begin with, and then I read the New York Times this morning: Rural Swath of Big State Tests Obama .... Many voters talk of reading a stream of false and shadowy rumors purveyed by e-mail: Mr. Obama does not put his hand on his heart during the national anthem, he is a Muslim, he did not say hello to enlisted men in Afghanistan. Some disregard these rumors; some do not.

"False and shadowy RUMORS" ???

See also a "false and shadowy" rumor in the form of an ASSOCIATED PRESS photo, documentating Barry Soetoro's / Barack Obama's Indonesian citizenship and Muslim religion (as of 1968) at Texas Darlin. [English translation here.]

What's "shadowy" is that the AP never published the photo. And what's "false" is the New York Times. The Enemedia is delegitimizing and demonizing The Truth right in front of our eyes. It's unbelievable.

Typical White People Want Answers to their questions, simple questions like, What is Barack Obama's legal name? And... Is he a citizen of Indonesia?

Dear Reader, You'd better raise some hell with someone, somewhere, before he is crowned inaugurated.

Time is running out.

Hat tip Mr. I

Anyone is electable."

MORT’s Meanderings

Hello, Tea Party:

It has been my observation that very few of the folks I’ve met ‘On the Corner’ with the Ft. Lauderdale TeaParty or at other gatherings of TeaParty folks, are political junkies.

For the most part, they are just plain patriotic American citizens who began to feel uneasy with the policies and direction of Obama & Co. and finally arrived at a point when they realized that our beloved nation and the traditional freedoms we’ve enjoyed since the founding of this country, were being stolen from us. Stolen by our very own elected administration and by our Government, at all levels. These citizens became ‘itchy’, looked around and found that they were not itching alone. They discovered their closest Tea Party group, became active – and began to open their eyes and ears to some of the painful facts of political life. They came alive; they became involved.

Fast forward to the 2010 election and the stunning achievement of Conservatism taking over the U.S. House of Representatives and replacing some Democrats with of all things - Republicans. We were all flushed with this signal victory over one half the Legislative Branch. Score a big one for the Tea Party. And so many folks, having sent their candidate to Wash, DC, curtailed their activism or slowed their involvement. They sat back to await their victory to bear fruit.

Fast forward again, to the results of several controversial bills voted-on in the House by recently-elected ‘Tea Party’ freshmen. Supporters began to question the votes cast by ‘our’ Reps in Congress. Their votes differed from the gut feelings and unyielding positions of many of the Tea Partiers who voted them into office. Some expressed dismay and wondered aloud, “What the hell is going on, here?”

What was and is going on here, is that the Tea Party freshman are feeling the pressure from the ‘old boy network’ and the boiling cauldron that is, Washington politics. While it is perfectly true that we have every right to expect that each and every one of them will locate his or her backbone and core principles - and act accordingly, it up to each and every one of us as their constituents, to demonstrate to them our faith and support. It is up to us to back them up and to contact them directly to let them know in clear, concise, straight-forward language without rancor, that we are seriously interested in what they are doing. It is called, ‘interaction’. We have that obligation as voting citizens.

We are not privy to all the information they receive, either public or classified. We are not always aware of the pressures they are confronted with on a daily basis. We have no clue as to what other influences might be pressing them. They need to know that we are right behind them. Still, the same Team that voting them into office to represent us. We cannot expect them to perform with honor as our representatives, unless we stay in close touch with them and keep them aware of how we are feeling about the issues they are dealing with. And, we must let them know clearly, what we expect of them. We might not always see them vote as we would like but, there can be no space between we who elected them and those whom we’ve sent to Washington. We owe them that. We owe that to our nation. We owe that to ourselves.

So, I say to my Tea Party brothers and sisters: Stay involved. Stay with our Tea Party ‘freshmen’ and do what it takes to make those men and women, our Tea Party ‘sophomores’.

Steady. Steady.

Allen West Speaks The Truth

Rep. Allen West proclaims "Obama, Reid, Pelosi, get the hell out of the USA".

We agree with Allen West! This is a short speech from the Great Congressman Allen West. All of the Floridians who have met Aleen West know he is serious. The RINO's and Racist Liberals (especially the disgusting wasserman schultz) want to quiet West. Anyone who has shook his hand realizes that he has been in the trenches and wants Marxists out of America!

Listen to Allen West as this is exactly the attitude that our leaders in Washington should have! Allen West is a Hero, Barry Soetoro is a Zero! These Marxists have SOILED the White House!

Those Wearing Union Label Are Real Thugs

By Michelle Malkin

Who are the real thugs? Democrats attack congressional town hall protesters as "Brown Shirts" — likening taxpayer activists across the country to Hitler's storm troopers. But it's the Big Labor hoodlums clad in identical purple shirts — the uniform of Service Employees International Union members — who own the mob label.

Margarida Jorge, a former SEIU organizing director who now serves as national field director for the deep-pocketed, left-wing coalition Health Care for America Now, sent out a memo to her foot soldiers last week on how to counter ObamaCare opponents.
"You must bring enough people to drown them out and to cover all our bases so as to marginalize their disruptive tactics," she exhorted.

Local SEIU chapters echoed the call to brass knuckles. "It is critical that our members with real, personal stories about the need for access to quality, affordable care come out in strong numbers to drown out their voices," urged the leaders of SEIU's Local 2001 in Connecticut, according to a memo exposed by the Weekly Standard's Mary Katharine Ham.

At town hall meetings in St. Louis and Tampa, Fla., last week, purple-shirted SEIU members engaged in physical confrontations with critics of the Democrats' health care takeover plans.

Assault victim Kenneth Gladney, beaten while passing out "Don't Tread on Me" flags, is turning the tables on his SEIU assailants. The black conservative activist announced Tuesday that he's filing hate crime charges against the union goons in Missouri.

These were the first outbreaks of violence since the summer recess began. And that's no coincidence. SEIU President Andy Stern, the militant social worker turned union heavy, boasts of his organizing philosophy: "(W)e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn't work, we use the persuasion of power."

Shock Troops

Last April, SEIU bused in hundreds of Purple Shirts to a labor meeting in Detroit, where the union was battling a competitor over representation of nurses and health care workers in Ohio. The SEIU invaders ambushed the conference, sending one attendee to the hospital with a bloodied head and wounding several others.
The competing union filed a restraining order against the SEIU. AFL-CIO President John Sweeney responded, "There is no justification — none — for the violent attack orchestrated by SEIU."

California Nurses Association Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro condemned the violence: "There is an ugly pattern here of physical abuse and tactics of intimidation that have no place in either our labor movement or a civilized society."
SEIU and Stern's shock troops have similarly bullied companies from private equity firms to Burger King to food management company Aramark to security provider Wackenhut Services, who have resisted SEIU's attempts to organize their workers. The Purple People have organized aggressive protests and a "War on Greed" campaign to pound the employers into submission.

In Oakland, Stern and his Washington crew imposed a trusteeship on a 150,000-member local that had publicly opposed SEIU strong-arm tactics. D.C. headquarters accused the local — known as SEIU United Healthcare Workers West (UHW West) — of financial malpractice and misconduct.

Can't Be Trusted

The local fought back, charging the Beltway union leaders with manufacturing the allegations to retaliate and to distract from Washington mismanagement. The UHW West president, Sal Rosselli, quit the SEIU executive board and formed a new union in February 2009, which declared: "We don't trust them with our contracts, we don't trust them with our dues — we just don't trust them."

Team Obama and the Democrats — who together received more than $60 million in SEIU independent expenditure funds — remain mum about SEIU thuggery. Obama, after all, promised the SEIU on the campaign trail: "We look after each other!"
Accordingly, SEIU-endorsed Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius openly praised the union's drowning-out campaign against ObamaCare critics in a teleconference call last week.

She urged her "brothers and sisters" to keep doing what they were doing. SEIU health care chair Dennis Rivera of New York then railed against the "radical fringe" of "right wingers," whom he accused of "terrorist tactics."
Savor the Purple Shirts playing pot-and-kettle.
