No two ways about it, the police and various federal agencies are gearing up for something. What’s sad is that most people don’t understand the reference, or who Patrick Henry is.
That’s right! The Obama administration is gearing up to spend a staggering $680,000,000 just to advertise Obamacare. And who is paying for all of this? That’s right…you are.
from AP:
It will make you stronger. It will give you peace of mind and make you feel like a winner. Health insurance is what the whole country has been talking about, so don’t be left out.
Sound like a sales pitch? Get ready for a lot more. As President Barack Obama’s health care law moves from theory to reality in the coming months, its success may hinge on whether the best minds in advertising can reach one of the hardest-to-find parts of the population: people without health coverage.
The campaign won’t come cheap: The total amount to be spent nationally on publicity, marketing and advertising will be at least $684 million, according to data compiled The Associated Press from federal and state sources.
About 16 percent of Americans are uninsured, but despite years of political debate and media attention, more than three-quarters of them still know little about the law known as “Obamacare,” according to recent surveys.
This is downright immoral, spending the better part of a BILLION dollars to advertise a welfare program and get more people hooked on the government dole.
It’s time for a full repeal, and until we get there, let’s defund the entire monstrosity, starting with this ridiculous marketing budget.
Still shocking that a New York pervert is running for Mayor, and may win. And his stead fast wife, Huma Abedin, was Hillary Clintons right hand girl, (insert pun here). How can people not see the obvious problems with this? Pervert married to muslim cover girl for Hillary, my goodness how many scandals can people ignore from one couple?
Today Wiener vowed to push forward with Huma holding strong, even though she acknowledges hours of therapy to fix an obvious problem. Hmmmm, yeah New York, that’s the man you want running your city, but I guess if you elected Bloomy and Shumer, Wiener may be right down your alley.
The first lady faces the issue of immigration Tuesday when she gives the keynote speech at the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, a Latino advocacy group. Immigration is one of President Barack Obama’s top second-term priorities.
As we watch Mooch shove her and her husbands noses up La Raza’s ass, what is La Raza really?
"our"?
The Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for “housing reform,” while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens.

Radical ‘Reconquista’ Agenda
Behind the respectable front of the National Council of La Raza lies the real agenda of the La Raza movement, the agenda that led to those thousands of illegal immigrants in the streets of American cities, waving Mexican flags, brazenly defying our laws, and demanding concessions.
Key among the secondary organizations is the radical racist group Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan (MEChA), one of the most anti-American groups in the country, which has permeated U.S. campuses since the 1960s, and continues its push to carve a racist nation out of the American West.
This is coming straight from the official MEChA sites at Georgetown University, the University of Texas, UCLA, University of Michigan, University of Colorado, University of Oregon, and many other colleges and universities around the country.
MEChA was in fact reported to be one of the main organizers of those street demonstrations we witnessed over the past weeks. That helps explain why those hordes of illegal immigrants weren’t asking for amnesty — they were demanding an end to U.S. law, period. Unlike past waves of immigrants who sought to become responsible members of American society, these protesters reject American society altogether, because they have been taught that America rightfully belongs to them.
This plan is what is referred to as the “Reconquista” or reconquest, of the Western U.S.
Is the National Council of La Raza itself a racist organization? Regardless of the organization’s suspect ties, the majority of its members are not. When one examines all the organization’s activities, they are commendable non-profit projects, such as education and housing programs.
But even these defensible efforts raise the question of whether education and housing programs funded with federal tax dollars should be used in programs specifically targeted to benefit just one ethnic group.
La Raza defenders usually respond by calling anyone making these allegations “a racist” for having called attention to La Raza’s racist links.
Any questions? This administration panders to whatever minority group will effect them votes. Pure and simple the Obama’s, (or any east coast politician), have NO idea what happens out west, they don’t understand the problem of illegal immigrants because they don’t live it. And here you have La Raza visitiung the Whitehouse and the FLOTUS meeting with them personally.
This in itself is troubling enough, but it speaks to the ultimate plan of this administration. Divide and conquer, no matter who you have to get in bed with.
……about the Zimmerman case. I know, I know, I am sick of it too. But Whittle nails it down and poses an interesting question at the end. Worth the watch. A Nod to Pissed over at The Feral Irishman for the vid.
I have been railing on the consequences of democratic rule for years. I have dedicated at least 10 posts to Detroit and Stockton California alone. I was reading a post over at Ace’s who highlighted an article by Mark Steyn and I wanted to share. With a judge overturning the bankruptcy filing to save bloated un-funded pensions, which is what buried Detroit in the first place, others are now saying that “White Flight” has caused all of the ills of the city, you can disregard the 50 years of democratic failed policy.
Detroit Landscape 2013
With bankruptcy temporarily struck down, we’re told that “innovation hubs” and “enterprise zones” are the answer. Seriously? In my book After America, I observe that the physical decay of Detroit — the vacant and derelict lots for block after block after block — is as nothing compared to the decay of the city’s human capital. Forty-seven percent of adults are functionally illiterate, which is about the same rate as the Central African Republic, which at least has the excuse that it was ruled throughout the Seventies by a cannibal emperor. Why would any genuine innovator open a business in a Detroit “innovation hub”? Whom would you employ? The illiterates include a recent president of the school board, Otis Mathis, which doesn’t bode well for the potential work force a decade hence.
Abandoned Home - Detroit, Michigan
Given their respective starting points, one has to conclude that Detroit’s Democratic party makes a far more comprehensive wrecking crew than Emperor Bokassa ever did. No bombs, no invasions, no civil war, just “liberal” “progressive” politics day in, day out. Americans sigh and say, “Oh, well, Detroit’s an ‘outlier.’” It’s an outlier only in the sense that it happened here first. The same malign alliance between a corrupt political class, rapacious public-sector unions, and an ever more swollen army of welfare dependents has been adopted in the formally Golden State of California, and in large part by the Obama administration, whose priorities — “health” “care” “reform,” “immigration” “reform” — are determined by the same elite/union/dependency axis. As one droll tweeter put it, “If Obama had a city, it would look like Detroit.” Read enitre article here.
With the proven failures of liberal/socialist/progressive policies affecting more cities across the country, you would think some would pull their heads out of their collective arses, but obviously the indoctrination of these elected officials has blinded them to the facts of their governance. It’s astounding they can look at Detroit and turn a blind eye to their own situation, instead blaming middle class flight for all of the ills that have befallen them. Case in point the high speed rail to be built from San Francisco to Los Angeles. This absurd waste of money, (68 Billion for Phase 1), is just another reason why
Stockton, California - Look familiar?
California cities will be falling like dominoes as the politicians tax business and citizens to pay for something they don’t need. Politicians fatten their wallets off federal funding and crony kick backs from the construction companies awarded contracts to build this fiasco.As with Amtrak, the cost to build it is one thing, the cost to run it something else completely. In January 2012, an independent peer review panel published a report recommending the Legislature not approve issuing $2.7 billion in bonds to fund the project.[38] The panel of experts was created by state law to help safeguard the public’s interest. The report said that moving ahead on the high-speed rail project without credible sources of adequate funding represents a financial risk to California.
But even these defensible efforts raise the question of whether education and housing programs funded with federal tax dollars should be used in programs specifically targeted to benefit just one ethnic group.
