Impeachment — High Crimes and Misdemeanors

    President Obama willfully broke the law when he failed to notify Congress of that he was releasing 5 Taliban fighters in exchange for one deserter.  In that same move he willfully gave aid and comfort to the enemy.  By any standard previously held in America, that is treason.  Failure to follow or uphold the laws of this land is a direct violation of his oath of office and is cause for impeachment.  Even if that alone is not enough the President has specifically said that he will not uphold the immigration laws as they exist currently.  That too is a direct violation of his oath of office.  

     His administration and his attorney general have failed to investigate and prosecute the IRS scandal, or to imprison Lois Lerner after she was held in contempt by Congress.  It is clear that his justice department is failing to dutifully uphold the law.  That is true with immigration, the fast and furious scandal, and the IRS persecution of the President’s opponents.  

     Collectively the level of illegality, from amending Obamacare without Congressional approval to inviting a flood on illegals into this country by not enforcing the laws is appalling.  Each of these items should be enough to bring articles of impeachment.  Why then have these not been brought?  Fast and Furious cost lives.  The failure in Benghazi cost lives.  Immigrants here illegally are costing lives and taking jobs.  All of these these things are treasonous. 

    I would guess that Congress does not have the willingness to challenge the status quo.  They are not willing to stand for any principles that make up this country.  They are not willing to take on the dictator, nor to protect the things that make America special and unique.  It is shameful that the articles of impeachment have not been brought.  I urge everyone to to request this of your congress person.  Two more years of this lawlessness will cause the loss of life of countless more Americans, as Obama continues to pursue policies that risk the lives of American citizens.

 

 

Of Stupidity, Powerlessness and Politics

Democracy is failing under the Obama administration.  In spite of this country having more people out of work than in the past 36 years, more people living in poverty than every before, more people on food stamps and dependent on the government than ever before a simple project such as the Keystone Pipeline can’t get approved.

A project that will bring jobs to the heartland of the US can’t get approved because Democratic donors don’t want it.  The Obama administration is more worried about politics than helping Americans get jobs and succeed.

A project that will strengthen our ability to help Western Europe stand up to Russia’s incursions and improve our ability to withstand foreign energy incursions is not approved because National Security is less important than getting money for future campaigns.

This one example, supported by the vast majority of informed Americans can’t get approved because Democratic special interests’ money trumps caring about people.  To our current government, violating peoples privacy, using the IRS illegally, letting our people die in Benghazi and destroying jobs is a higher priority than helping America be a better, more prosperous place.  As part of this process the military capability of our country has also been gutted.  The destruction of our democratic process, the brazen disregard for the safety and security Americans is nothing short of treason.  The failure of the Justice Department to provide documents to Congress even after being held in contempt is also treason. Hiding blatant violations of our Constitution guts our democracy.  Why have a democracy is congress has no power?

The vast majority of Americans want more jobs, better choices in healthcare and insurance, and physical security.  The Obama administration has proven through its actions that it has no interest in any of these things.  Their failure to call the first Fort Hood shooting terrorism, even today, make it clear that they are protecting radical Muslim sentiments over the interests of American citizens.    This all adds up to a purposeful destruction of the US economy, its healthcare system, its military and the welfare of its citizens.   They have done more damage to this economy that the 9/11 terrorists ever did.   I can’t identify why they are purposely destroying the United States.  I will say that those who do so are guilty of treason and should be held accountable for that.

Got to go,  they are coming for me……

Hyperinflation — Could be already here.

The government is printing money to by its own bonds, falsely propping up the economy and the stock market.  Germany tried this in the 30’s and it resulted in economic collapse and the Nazi’s.  Venezuela tried it recently and they have riots and shortages on basic staples. Go to the grocery, gas station or restaurant and it is clear that prices have gone up.  Some thoughts:

Thanks to Obamacare our cost for health insurance and health services has gone way up.

Thanks to energy policy our cost for gasoline, plastics, and energy related goods have gone up.

Our dollar is already worth less thanks to the government printing money increasing the cost of everything, particularly food.

According to the Drudge Report 86 million people are paying for the benefits of 148 million people.  The government is draining the work capacity of each and every American still working.

Why continue to work, when the fruit of your labor goes to pay for many that could and should be working.  Businesses and farmers complain that they have to hire illegals because there are no Americans to fill the jobs.   Pretty simple, cut off the $40,000 a year of government income going to able bodied individuals and you will have an all American labor force.  Hungry people amazingly find work.  

If the current path continues, Obama and the Democrats will completely destroy our country, its prosperity and the things that made it the best country on earth.  We will no longer be able to help our friends.  We are already having trouble helping ourselves.

The Law is the Law — a Terrifying Truth

The President has gotten out his pen and announced a whole host of Obomacare waivers, delayed implementations and exceptions.  The problem is, he did not have the power to actually implement any of them.  Perhaps he can prevent the IRS from going after the unions and businesses he provided waivers to.  Since he did not have the ability to provide those waivers, any fees, taxes and costs associated with Obomcare are still accrueing.  The question then becomes, when does the IRS decide that those back fees weren’t really waived, but are due immediately, plus penalties?

I can envisionsion several scenarios.  Perhaps those fees and penalties will suddenly just apply to conservative businessowners.  If you gave to a conservative candidate you will now owe all your waived penalties with interest.  Your employees will no longer have health insurance coverage.  Your business will be placed in receivership.  

Perhaps the accrued fees will be used to create a need for a single payor system.  The arguement will be made that since businesses are not paying as they should the employees are at risk of losing their coverage so we need to get rid of all employer paid coverage.  In either situation the waivers may well be a huge ruse designed to further the goals of this administration and to centralize their power.

Beyond the obvious, using the waivers to protect democrats in 2014’s midterm elections,  they are part of a more sinister plan.   Their eventual enforcement will be used to cowtow their enemies and to further destroy health insurance markeplace.  

If you own a business, run and insurance company, manage a pharmaceutical company, or provide medical services in any way you best stop this train now.  Your livelihood is about to be destroyed.  Already more people have lost their insurance because of Obomacare than have gained new insurance.  The administration cares only for its agenda.  They are willing to kill or disrupt the lives of as many citizens as it takes to implement their vision.  Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Chavez, and Mao all had the same approach. Implementing the vision was more important than human life, freedom, or liberty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congress — Rubber Stamp Stooges

     OK, today is a bit of a rant. Lois Lerner once again took the fifth amendment in front of Congress. It took about a year to get her back on the stand to do that. Everyone knows the IRS targeted conservative groups and that Ms. Lerner has information pertaining to that. Further, her bosses have information regarding that. The Republican Congress is so weak and ineffective that they can’t get the facts about who ordered  and orchestrated the political oppression of the Tea Party and other conservative groups. Government power is being used in a way no different than power is used in Russia and Congress can’t stand up and uncover the source of the abuse.  Its pathetic.

      Has Congress just given up? Are they part of the oppression happening to groups they don’t like? Do the Congressional Republicans support the oppression of the Tea Party? Once Government starts down the path of allowing any group to be singled out or persecuted it is not long until any group with a different view becomes the target. 

     How long until we have internment camps? In Germany it started with the Jews, then the Catholics, and then anyone who disagreed with the Nazi’s became a target for extermination. History is clear that the road to an oppressive state starts with allowing any group to be oppressed.

     Why does the media not pick up on this? Those that don’t just repeat party line will find their taxes audited, their homes bugged and their families followed. Charles Rosen was just the first example. If this oppression is not stopped now, government control and repression will extend to each person the government does not like. Democracy in the US will fail as democracy can’t survive without free will.

     So, why is Congress no more than a rubber stamp body? Why are they powerless to protect American citizens from the abuses of their government? All I have is questions and no good answer. Call your congress person and ask them why they can’t get to the bottom of this. If you think your life will be better letting our system be destroyed, look around the world at places that have no freedom. They are all poorer and life is much tougher. If that is what you want, don’t put pressure on congress.

Claims Department — Affordable Care Act

Hello, welcome to the IRS Health Claims pre-approval hotline.  If you are calling about a prior claim please call our Claims Service Hotline, otherwise for pre-approval,  please enter in your social security number and press # when done.  Someone will be on the line to assist you momentarily.

                                (2 hours later)

“JIM”:   Hello, this is Jim, welcome to the IRS Health Claims Pre-approval hotline.   I see that you have indicated that you will

need approval for the treatment of heart disease.   Reviewing your current information, I see that you have had a heart attack previously,

is that correct?

“GEORGE”;  the patient:   Yes, that is correct.

“JIM”:   What procedure do you need to have approved?

“GEORGE” : According to my doctor I need blood work for cardiac enzymes, a stress test, a catheterization, and most likely stents.

“JIM”:   Our records show that you are 58 years old.  Are you planning to return to work after the procedure?

“GEORGE” : Why does that matter?

“JIM”:   This information is used to calculate your available lifetime medical benefit under the affordable care act.  Since you already used $256,432 of your maximum benefit we need to calculate how much additional benefit you qualify for.

“GEORGE” :  How is that benefit calculated?

“JIM”:   We at the IRS take great care to calculate that benefit from all the information that you provide or which is already in the file we have on you.  It is our goal to make that determination as fairly as possible given all the factors.

“GEORGE”: But what are the factors?

“JIM”: Expenses already incurred, the likelihood that more expenses will be incurred, your age, your estimated productive remaining years and such.  Now, please just answer the questions as they are addressed to you. 

“JIM”:  Are you planning to return to work after the procedure?

“GEORGE”: yes.

“JIM”:   Do you currently work for a profit or non-profit organization?

“GEORGE”: profit

“JIM”:  How many times did you eat fast food last month?

“GEORGE”: about 20.

“JIM”:  Do you smoke?

“GEORGE”:  Used to.

“JIM”:  Do you vote in presidential elections?

“GEORGE”: What?

“JIM”:  Do you vote in presidential elections?

“GEORGE”: Why is that pertinent?

“JIM”:  Sir, you need to answer the questions.  These all have statistical correlations.

“GEORGE”:  Ok, yes I vote.

“JIM”:  Would you classify yourself a more liberal or conservative?

“GEORGE”:  I don’t see….

“JIM”:  Just answer the question sir!

“GEORGE”:  Conservative.

“JIM”:  At what age do you plan to retire?

“GEORGE”:  65.

“JIM”:  Thank you sir for answering the questions.  The system is reviewing your information. 

Based on the computer’s projection we will approve all the diagnostic tests and procedures.  Should you need stents or some other therapeutic treatment the Affordable Care act will not cover those.   You are already close to your lifetime maximum.

 “GEORGE”:  Are you telling me that if I try to get my heart fixed, you will not pay for  it.

“JIM”:  That is correct.

“GEORGE”:  Surely there is some way to appeal this.

“JIM”:  Sir the ACA does not provide for any appeals the decisions of the IRS are final.

“GEORGE”:  but….

“JIM”:  Thank you for calling the IRS, have a good day.  CLICK!

 Back at the IRS office Jim speaking to his co-worker says, “There is one more white conservative who won’t be voting next year.  High FIVE!!!!!”

 

 

 

Government Lies – An Impotent Press

Ever since there was a government, governments have lied to their people.   I am sure that Vespasian told his people that the Roman Coliseum would be built it one year and only cost 200,000 Denarii’s.  (just a guess).   The fact that he knew it would most likely take 10 years and 1 million Denarii’s was never challenged by the Roman Press.  With an emperor, should the press dare challenge his word, it only happened one time.  We can find comfort in two places; that we will not be executed for exposing a government lie (most likely), and that our government almost 2000 years later, is still lying. 

The question is not whether government lies, but whether the press and the populace will hold that government accountable.  In the past few years the American press has not held government accountable.  The constitution guarantees a freedom of the press.  If the press never challenges the party line then it both is not free and does not need constitutional protection.  Every time the press fails to uphold the constitution and their responsibility they tacitly approve of the government’s behavior and they lose credibility.  That loss of credibility becomes impotence.  In time they will have no power, and no influence and those that dare to speak up will be persecuted.  Below are some examples.

When the President said, “If you like your like your insurance you can keep it.” 

            Where was the press?

  When border agents are killed with guns provide to the drug dealers by our federal government:

            Where was the press?

When IRS agents are caught persecuting the political enemies of the democrats:

            Where is the press?

These three scandals are still going on yet the press does not step up and investigate nor do they shout from the rooftops that our government can’t be trusted.  All three of the above issues violate the protections provided by the constitution for an individual to have a right to their life, liberty or pursuit of happiness.   A dead border agent loses his life because the federal government wants to make owning guns look bad. (Not to mention what a warped idea that was.)  His rights are violated and the press just lets that fact slip by. When it becomes one of their lives it will be too late for them to stand up. 

The destructions of people’s health insurance plans could have been predicted and prevented had the press done its job.  Some of these folks have lost their coverage after believing the lies told.  Nevertheless, the plan that stole their health security is still in place.  If the press did their job then that wrong would have been made right.   Next are death panels.  By then the press will be completely powerless to stop the wrongs.

The IRS pursued non-profits with conservative political views. The press continues to let the IRS do this as no one has been held accountable for this.  Of course, that is just a start, OSHA, and the ATF have also been used to threaten and investigate those with conservative views.  Perhaps the press thinks its ok when it is the Tea Party, but in 6 months when investigations are turned on those who don’t like NSA spying, what will they do.  In time anyone who disagrees with the government will be subject to unjustified investigation and persecution.  By not standing up for the principles of truth and by not holding up parts of the constitution the press is sewing its own destruction.

An impotent press, a cowardly press does not need freedom of the press.  The more the press sides unquestioningly with the government the less freedom we all have.  In the long run, there won’t be any press, only propaganda.  We are largely there now.  It is a shame.  Perhaps reporters should register with the government and we can use the constitution as a fish wrapper.  Our government already does that.
