Amnesty Is About Importing Poverty, Illiteracy, Ignorance, and Crime!




By John W. Lillpop

When it comes to immigration policy, the US objective should be to reward the “best and brightest” of those seeking to come to America with the most coveted citizenship in the entire world.

Indeed, the objective should be to recruit those who will make America stronger and better, rather than pandering to no- account louses and losers whom have ignored our borders and laws and whom can add nothing to the greatest nation on earth.

Tragically, most politicians in the Democrat Party and certain Rinos in the GOP are willing to forgo American sovereignty, Exceptionalism, and the rule of law in order to play political nicety with unworthy invaders from south of our border.

Why? What in the hell is wrong with politicians who no longer care about the well-being of American citizens, and whom favor miscreant invaders who should not even be here, much less endowed with US citizenship?

America is not well. We have a $17 trillion federal deficit, trillions more in future obligations for which there is not funding, savagely- tenacious unemployment and underemployment, and racial tensions at the boiling point.

Given what is going on in America today, how does it make sense to deliberately import tens of millions of uneducated, illiterate, non-English speaking, low-skill peasants with a history of ignoring the rule of law, including tax evasion?

Just what do 11-30 million invaders bring to the table, other than poverty, illiteracy, ignorance, and disease?

America simply does not need and, cannot afford, 11-30 million invaders and the problems they bring.

The era of America being the dumping grounds for undesirables from third-world failed states like Mexico must
end. NOW!

Sebelius Plea , “Don’t Do This To Me!” Reflects National View Toward Obamacare



By John W. Lillpop

In testimony before the US House on October 30, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius experienced an embarrassing moment when she uttered, “Don’t do this to me” into a live microphone.

Although Sebelius did not intend for her frustration and anger to be vetted all across the nation, she deserves credit for producing a concise statement about how most Americans view the Marxist nightmare known as “Obamacare.”

Her slip also appears to be the only heartfelt and sincere words she spoke during a 3.5 hour grilling. Other than her unintended outburst, Madam Secretary stayed loyal to the talking points developed by progressives to make the Obamacare Messianic mission appear to be a roaring success.

She was asked, has the President fulfilled his pledge that folks could “Keep your plan and doctor,” she unhesitatingly replied, “Yes, he has!”

Good God, is it not true that lying under oath is a felony? Why was she not arrested on the spot and charged with perjury?

Her devotion to the Barack Obama worship society became obvious when the Secretary fell on her sword by telling Congress to hold her accountable for the fiasco.

Unfortunately, like most of Sebelius’s testimony, her suicide sword was harmless plastic and as phony as Obama’s promise to cover 30 million uninsured souls while simultaneously reducing overall health-care costs.

A tragically- comedic moment came when Secretary Sebelius tried to dodge a question about whether she would sign-up for Obamacare herself. To which she erroneously declared that she could not do so because it was “illegal.”

Illegal?

Imagine that, the bureaucrat entrusted with management of 16 percent of the US economy and the health care of 330 million Americans is utterly ignorant of the law, even as she tries to defend it before Congress.

In light of the Sebelius performance, is it any wonder that Obamacare is likely to die at the hands of incompetent, power-mad bureaucrats who do not understand health care, the economy, or the American people?

Bottom Line: “Don’t do this to me!” may be the new rallying cry for patriots who advocate a separation between state and health care!

Why Did Obama Shut Down Government By Refusing to Delay Obamacare?




By John W. Lillpop


Recent revelations make Barack Obama’s refusal to negotiate with Republicans over the government shutdown very puzzling and troubling.

For instance, if it is true that Obama was aware of the fact that, contrary to his repeated promises, some people would lose their insurance and be unable to keep preferred plans and doctors, why was he so adamant in refusing to negotiate a delay in implementation?

Yielding on that point might have given the administration desperately needed time to work out the program difficulties, including the disastrous roll out of the Obamacare web site.

Yes, Obama would have lost face, but, given the onerous situation, he might have been able to salvage at least some credibility.

As it is, the president has fostered a loss of confidence in the Obamacare plan itself, and, more importantly, in his credibility with the American people.

Reasonable people are now questioning all of the president’s statements about Obamacare. They wonder, “What else is he lying about, and why would anyone take his word about health care?”

Thus, this president’s inability to be honest with the American people may cause more devastation to his signature achievement than all the Congressional Republicans managed to accomplish.

The big question: Will the American people hold Barack Obama accountable for shutting down the government over a program that does not work and which does not even match his campaign promises?

Barack Obama: The “Did Not Know” President!






By John W. Lillpop


Advisers to President Obama would be well-advised to look up the phrase “Plausible Deniability” and understand that Obama’s ‘did not know’ history lacks credibility when it comes to “plausible.”

This is the president whom, it is alleged, was not aware of what in the hell was going on around him for the past five years!

Aside from being up-to-the-minute on college basketball brackets for the Spring Madness hysteria each March, this fellow seems lost in a sea of bewilderment, unaware of some of the most hideous situations and potential crimes taking place right under his nose in the White House.

If we are to believe the White House, the President of the United States did not know about:

( )Terror attacks at the Benghazi embassy in Libya on September 11, 2012. According to the White House, the president thought the fuss was all about a disturbing anti-Islam video which had riled protesting Muslims, causing the deaths of four American diplomats;

( )Origins of the false narrative which were repeated by UN Ambassador Susan Rice on five Sunday news shows on September 16;

( )The Fast and Furious scandal in which US government agencies engaged in the illegal transfer of weapons to Mexico and which caused the death of US Border Patrol agent Byron Terry and several hundred Mexican citizens;

( )Use of IRS resources against conservative opponents of the president, leading up to and immediately prior to the 2012 presidential election; and

( )Violations of the First Amendment with regard to ATT and the James Rosen scandal.

In addition, our supposed “genius” president was unaware of the fatal flaws embedded in his “signature” program, the ill-fated and misnamed Affordable Care Act, known far and wide as the Obamacare debacle!

Is it plausible to believe that the smartest man in the room was unaware of the fact that the web site for his legacy achievement would crash and burn and that tens of millions of Americans would be unable to even enroll?

Is it plausible to believe that the long-awaited Leftist Messiah would not know that perhaps millions of his sheep would lose their existing healthcare, as a direct result of Obamacare?

Is it plausible to believe that The One was unaware that middle-class citizens would be forced to pay skyrocketing, and mostly unaffordable, insurance premiums, rather than affordable, as promised?

How could any president with a superego the size of Montana NOT know that his cherished legacy was, in fact, an unmitigated disaster that would seriously threaten the well-being of 16 percent of the national economy?

Then we come to the spying scandal which has embarrassed the United States throughout the globe and has turned our Global Citizen into a despicable enemy in the minds of our allies and friends.

Is it plausible that the NSA has managed to spy on world leaders without our president’s knowledge and involvement?

Does it make sense that the US government would hack into the private cell phone of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, without The One knowing?

Does it make sense that 21 nations in the world are coming after the United States for NSA misbehavior, and that the most powerful man in the world was unaware of that misbehavior?

Of course, being the congenital liar that he is, Barack Obama remains unbowed and confident that the liberal media will believe his “Did not know” drivel and that all be swept under the rug as “Phony scandals.”

Bottom line: We have a “Phony president” in the White House and he needs to be exposed as a despicable crook in the image of Richard M. Nixon.

Are Democrats up to the task of Honest and Open government, when it comes to the tyranny of Barack Hussein Oba

CAUTION: Amnesty Another Big-Government Disaster in the Making!





By John W. Lillpop


In light of the massive failure of the Obamacare health -care reform folly, one would expect the President of the United States, in conjunction with responsible members of Congress, to be skeptically circumspect when considering major policy changes, especially those that require extensive involvement and operational competence from government bureaucrats.

Given the crash and burn history of Obamacare, it should now be obvious to even the most dedicated big-government progressive that the ‘fundamental transformation’ of America, although a catchy line of rhetoric for inclusion in campaign speeches, quickly turns into fairy dust when it comes to responsible governance.

Indeed, Obamacare has affirmed the fact that big government has never been, and will never be, capable of providing creative solutions to complex problems involving tens of millions of people and trillions of taxpayer dollars.

Unfortunately, President Obama seems unbowed by the most egregious failure of big government in the history of America.

Rather, he has diverted his attention to the insane notion of providing amnesty to 11-30 million illegal aliens, most of whom have no health insurance and are needy in other ways that only crazed liberals can appreciate.

In essence, Obama is willing to ignore legitimate concerns about America’s fiscal, social, rule of law, and cultural heritage in order to secure long-term political gain for the Democrat Party and the progressive agenda.

Thus, another ‘Teaching moment’ is lost on our ego-maniacal, intellectual elitist, much to the peril of 330 million of we the people!

CAUTION: Providing amnesty to tens of millions of illegal aliens would present enormous challenges to a government which has proven utterly incompetent in conscripting millions of reluctant citizens into the Obama war on health care Exceptionalism.

To begin with, the government estimate is that 11 million illegals presently reside in America. That figure has been used for years, and is most likely hugely underestimated.

Remember, 11 million is an estimate from the Obama government which has a vested interest in low-balling the number for political purposes.

How about 30-40 million illegals, many (most?) of whom are non-English speaking, illiterate in their own languages, unskilled, carriers of diseases long ago eradicated in America, food stamp and welfare addicts, and whom retain intractable loyalty to their nations of origin?

How might the Obama government handle the processing of 30-40 million illegals while protecting the interests of American citizens?

Can our government be counted on to effectively review illegal alien applicants to determine:

( )Ability to assimilate into American society

( )Criminal, financial, and medical backgrounds;

( )English proficiency;

( )Existence of potential terrorism threats;

( )Ability to survive without becoming a burden of taxpayers;

( )Respect for the rule of law; and

Ability to contribute positively to American society?

And how will government handle the dicey issue of deporting those unsuitable for US citizenship?

Bottom line: Obamacare is an unmitigated disaster, unprecedented in US history. Why would any patriotic American politician look to repeat the Obamacare nightmare when it comes to illegal immigration?

Latest Obamacare “Glitch”: Spanish Speakers Need Not Apply!




By John W Lillpop


As if things were not chaotic enough, the Obamacare rollout has his a major new snag: The Spanish-language version of the enrollment site is down and out---for an indefinite period!

As reported at the reference:


PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — An indefinite delay of the Spanish language version of the Affordable Care Act website threatens the viability of the program as a whole, according to area experts.

CuidadoSalud.gov was supposed to roll out this month, but although the website exists, the option to enroll electronically doesn’t.

That option does exist on Healthcare.gov, although the system has been plagues with problems.

“My job only is part time so I can’t afford health insurance,” said Carmen Rosa.

Rosa, who can only speak Spanish, said she would have applied online if she could, but said she was frustrated that option doesn’t exist yet.

Congreso, a Latino health advocacy group in Philadelphia, organized an enrollment fair Friday to try and sign people up. They’ve been using paper applications and phone conversations to do so.

“But sometimes people want to read things for themselves in their own language to feel more comfortable,” said Elizabeth Rosario, a certified application counselor who said the lack of a Spanish language website is undoubtedly hurting Latino enrollment.

Rosario translates necessary information for her clients, but says sometimes things get lost in translation.

“When you have hundreds of Spanish speaking clients coming in, this is really becoming a problem,” said Rosario.

Experts said the outreach program among the Latino community has always relied heavily on in-person assistance, but the website was designed to alleviate some of that burden.”

Just another minor “glitch,” Mr. President?

Iran Within Month of Bomb, Yet Obama Fights Tougher Sanctions?




By John W. Lillpop

While Barack Obama and his colleagues in Congress wrestle with the devastating failure of Obamacare, the Islamic Republic of Iran has unilaterally suspended all programs which might provide the terrorist state with a nuclear bomb.

Iranian Mullahs have taken this extraordinary step as a good-will gesture to promote their “Religion of Peace” credentials in the blossoming relationship between President Barack Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.

Great news, right?

One would have to believe such outrageous nonsense to believe that the Obama administration is pursuing a reasonable path toward keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of the mad Mullahs.

Unfortunately, the exact opposite is true as some experts now estimate that Iran may be within a month of producing enough weapons-grade enriched uranium to build a bomb.

Even more distressing, at Iran marches toward nuclear weaponry, the Obama administration appears to be working aggressively to thwart efforts within Congress to strengthen sanctions against Iran.

As reported at the reference:

Iran could produce enough weapons-grade uranium to build a nuclear bomb in as little as a month, according to a new estimate by one of the USA's top nuclear experts.

The new assessment comes as the White House invited Senate staffers to a briefing on negotiations with Iran as it is trying to persuade Congress not to go ahead with a bill to stiffen sanctions against Iran.

"Shortening breakout times have implications for any negotiation with Iran," stated the report by the Institute for Science and International Security. "An essential finding is that they are currently too short and shortening further."

Iran's stockpile of highly-enriched uranium has nearly doubled in a year's time and its number of centrifuges has expanded from 12,000 in 2012 to 19,000 today.

Sen. Mark Kirk, an Illinois Republican whose Senate Banking Committee is considering legislation to tighten Iran sanctions, said the report shows that Iran is expanding its nuclear capabilities under the cover of negotiations.

"The Senate should move forward immediately with a new round of sanctions to prevent Iran from acquiring an undetectable breakout capability," he said.

The White House has said new sanctions legislation should wait while current negotiations — scheduled to resume officially in Geneva next month — are moving forward.

The White House said Thursday it will continue consulting with Congress "so that any congressional action is aligned with our negotiating strategy as we move forward," said Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for President Obama's National Security Council.

World powers are seeking an agreement "that ultimately resolves all of the international community's concerns about Iran's nuclear program," she said. "The ultimate goal is a comprehensive agreement that is credible, transparent, and verifiable."

However, Iran has blocked international inspectors from some suspected nuclear facilities to verify they are being used for peaceful purposes, access required under international agreements it has signed.

United Nations inspectors have found evidence of a weapons program in violation of Iran's commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The USA and the U.N. Security Council have implemented crippling economic sanctions on Iran to sway it to take steps to assure the world it is not developing a bomb.”

Will a Nuclear Iran become the “signature” failure of Barack Obama in foreign policy, just as Obamacare has blighted the domestic legacy of our failed Community Organizer?

Guess Who Is Itching to Delay Obamacare Now?



By John W. Lillpop


After two completely unnecessary weeks of government shutdown precipitated by the ego-maniacal refusal of Barack Obama and Democrat goons in Congress to even talk with Republicans, much less negotiate, the pendulum is starting to swing in favor of common sense and against progressives and their political albatross, the ungodly, unlovable, unfathomable, unaffordable, unwieldy, and unworkable Marxist scheme, known with universal scorn and disaffection as Obamacare.

Indeed, the operative phrase in Washington, D.C. these days seems to be, “Move over, Ted Cruz!” as anxious Democrats scheduled to face voters for re-election in 2014 are echoing the words of the embattled freshman Senator from Texas with calls to put the brakes on the “Train wreck” before professional health care is obliterated entirely from America.


As reported at the reference:

Sen. Joe Manchin on Wednesday said he plans to back Republican legislation that would delay ObamaCare’s individual mandate to have insurance.

The West Virginia Democrat is set to announce during Wednesday night’s “The O'Reilly Factor” that he's joining forces with Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) on legislation that would delay the penalty by a year.

The host of the Fox show, Bill O’Reilly, on Tuesday encouraged Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to recruit Manchin to sponsor the legislation, which would postpone the requirement until users can consistently access the ObamaCare website.

"Well, we're going to give everybody a chance to be on the right side of this," Rubio said. "Eventually they're going to have to do something about it. Because it's going to take more than a few months to fix these websites, and it's going to be unfair to go after people for not buying health insurance when the ability to buy it is not being made available."

Manchin has long voiced his opposition to the mandate, which would require uninsured individuals to either purchase health coverage or pay a fine.

Supporters of ObamaCare say its necessary to offset the costs involved with benefits now available under the program, such as making sure people with preexisting conditions could purchase coverage.

Manchin's move comes as Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) said Wednesday the Obama administration should extend the enrollment period for those looking to purchase healthcare due to the problems with the federal enrollment site. He joins Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who on Tuesday became the first Senate Democrat to join Republicans in asking for an extension.

"I believe, given the technical issues, it makes sense to extend the time for people to sign up," Pryor said in a statement. "In addition, the Administration should state clearly how the enforcement mechanism will work if people can’t sign up in time. We all want to see the law work, and I hope the Administration will take a hard look at this reasonable suggestion."

White House press secretary Jay Carney on Wednesday sidestepped a question about whether the administration would consider a delay in the law's individual mandate, although the spokesman did hint that the administration did not view that move as warranted.”

Bottom Line: With 17 percent of the national economy and their cushy, high-pay jobs at risk, some Democrats are finally able to see beyond the snake-oil proffered by their fallen Messiah, Barack Obama.

All of which is making “Cruz Cadets” out of Democrats who just days ago were “celebrating” their victory in the deadly game of chicken waged against the American people.

Take heart, Ted Cruz: You were dead right, and your vindication is nigh!

Spat with Saudi Arabia: Another Major “Victory” for Obama?



By John W. Lillpop

To those who think that the Obamacare disaster is an isolated example of partisan politics being waged for blood in Washington, this breaking news:

Despite the heavy demands of destroying the best health care system in the word, Barack Obama is still finding enough spare time to antagonize and betray America’s foreign allies all across the globe!

In other words, because of his unique ability to simultaneously apply wrong-headed progressive thinking to both domestic and foreign venues, Obama is able to maximize the harm inflicted on the American brand!

Wrong-headed multi-tasking skills are the exclusive province of our bumbling Community Organizer.

An example is Obama’s devastation of the US relationship with Saudi Arabia as reported below:


Upset at President Barack Obama's policies on Iran and Syria, members of Saudi Arabia's ruling family are threatening a rift with the United States that could take the alliance between Washington and the kingdom to its lowest point in years.

Saudi Arabia's intelligence chief is vowing that the kingdom will make a 'major shift' in relations with the United States to protest perceived American inaction over Syria's civil war as well as recent U.S. overtures to Iran, a source close to Saudi policy said on Tuesday.
Prince Bandar bin Sultan told European diplomats that the United States had failed to act effectively against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, was growing closer to Tehran, and had failed to back Saudi support for Bahrain when it crushed an anti-government revolt in 2011, the source said.”

Of course, dim wits such as Nancy Pelosi will claim another V for Obama.

The big question: How many more Obama Vs can America suffer before total collapse ensues?

Jay Carney’s Shocking Confession, “I am not a computer expert!”




By John W. Lillpop


As the Obamacare bubble continues to implode as a result of self-inflicted punctures, Press Secretary Jay Carney, Barack Obama’s ‘paid liar,’ appears to be cracking under the strain and stress of the failed attempt at health-care reform.

Although Carney has always been at the quick and ready to defend Obama’s Marxist experiment with the health and well-being of 330 million Americans, Carney’s fragile psyche has forced him to refer recent Obamacare questions to the Human and Health Services Department, currently in the shaky hands of Kathleen Sebelius.

As reported:


Jay Carney continued to dodge questions about the various problems plaguing Obamacare’s online exchanges today, by pleading ignorance and repeatedly pointing reporters’ questions to the Department of Health and Human Services.

At the end of Tuesday’s daily briefing, after offering one last referral to HHS, Carney walked out of the room as frustrated reporters continued to ask him questions.

Carney explained that, due to his inexperience with website construction, he wouldn’t be able to comment on some of the technical and specific elements of the websites’ development. “I’m not a computer expert, I don’t build websites,” he said.”

After delivering his first transparent answer about the Obamacare nightmare in over three years, Carney stormed out of the room in search of solace and comfort.

To which we say: Cheer up, Jay, we understand that Obamacare has excellent mental-health benefits, designed to help a paid liar cope with burn out and Obama fatigue.

You have signed up, right?




Message for Democrat Harry Reid: THIS War--Obamacare--Is Lost!




By John W. Lillpop

When it comes to being a loyal and trustworthy soldier in Barack Obama’s Marxist army, Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) remains vigilant and hardened in his commitment to march lock-step with Obama in the progressive war on America, AKA Obamacare.

So dedicated is Harry Reid to the proliferation of Obamacare fairy dust that the Senator even chided a reporter who asked, "If you can help one child who has cancer, why wouldn't you do it?" she asked.

To which Reid callously replied, "Why would we want to do that?”

In other words, according to the Nevada Democrat, defending Barack Obama and his ‘signature’ achievement is more important than dealing with the plight of helpless children with cancer!

Reid has not always been such a reliable source of support for the US President. For example, in 2007 when then-President George W. Bush was pushing for a “surge” to bolster American forces in the Iraq war, Reid was a vocal opponent.

As reported, at the time (April 20, 2007):

WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday the war in Iraq is "lost," triggering an angry backlash by Republicans, who said the top Democrat had turned his back on the troops.”

Given Reid’s fascination with surrender, perhaps it is time for the Senator to face current reality and admit the truth:

When it comes to Obamacare, Senator, this war is lost!


And for the sake of the American people and the Republic, that is a good thing!

Can Obamacare Survive Obama?








By John W. Lillpop

Although Democrats and the mainstream media are desperately seeking to blame the colossal failure (thus far) of Obamacare on anyone and everyone but Barack Obama, the truth of the matter is stark, and remarkably different.

Indeed, public skepticism of Obamacare, and big government in general, continues to soar in magnitude and intensity, in large part because of Obama’s petulant denials about his namesake health care fiasco and his confounding refusal to accept responsibility for yet another huge national embarrassment sponsored, and botched, on his watch.

Obama’s machinations, intended to soothe the nerves of anxious Americans about the Obamacare guinea pig, are instead highlighting the dramatic decline of the American brand. His aloof detachment and insolence are key in advancing the notion that there is not now, and perhaps has never been, any such thing as American Exceptionalism.

One need only refer to the president’s hokey sales pitch in the Rose Garden on October 21 to understand the depth of his self-delusion and denial.

As reported at the reference:


The nation’s commander in chief Monday became the salesman in chief, repeatedly touting the 1-800 number for his crippled Obamacare health network.

Operators are standing by to receive calls from people who can’t use the malfunctioning website, Obama said at a press event held in the White House Rose Garden.

They can take calls in 150 languages, he said.

“It may be a good deal for you,” he announced.

“Thousands of people are signing up and saving money as we speak,” he declared.

Telephone wait times are only a few minutes, and sign-up only takes 25 minutes for an individual and 45 minutes for a family, he insisted.

“The product is good. … It is high quality and it’s affordable,” said the pitchman.

People are getting medical coverage for the cost of “maybe the equivalent of your cellphone bill, or your cable bill, and that’s a good deal,” he told his midday TV audience.

“It may be a good deal for you,” he announced.

“Thousands of people are signing up and saving money as we speak,” he declared.

Telephone wait times are only a few minutes, and sign-up only takes 25 minutes for an individual and 45 minutes for a family, he insisted.

“The product is good. … It is high quality and it’s affordable,” said the pitchman.

People are getting medical coverage for the cost of “maybe the equivalent of your cellphone bill, or your cable bill, and that’s a good deal,” he told his midday TV audience.”

On and on The One continued with a pathetic snake-oil pitch consisting of misleading and blatantly false promises destined to fool only low-information voters.

Unfortunately, the 800 number Obama touted was always busy, or, when available, refereed callers to the woeful government web site, a technological failure of epic proportions. Another major embarrassment for The One!

After watching Obama’s dreadful Rose Garden performance, the big question of the day is: Can Obamacare survive Obama?

Whither the Obama-Reid Obsession With “Clean”?




By John W Lillpop

For several weeks, the Obama-Reid bankruptcy cabal insisted that the continuing resolution for funding the government and legislation to raise the debt ceiling be ‘clean,” that is, free of any provisions that would address the out-of-control federal deficit and the devastating impact of Obamacare on jobs and the economy in general.

Thus, clean, according to progressives was defined as legislation that would not upset the status quo, as if it were worth preserving rather than eradicating.

However, in the final hours before the threat of default was silenced (until February 7) and the waste and abuse of taxpayer money was allowed to resume (until January 15), weasels on both sides of the aisle came together in an ungodly act of bi-partisanship which takes the immediate pressure off the Representatives and Senators, the leading-from-behind community organizer in the Oval Office, but which does absolutely nothing to address issues that could ruin the lives of untold future generations.

Oh, and despite their stern warnings, the Democrats accepted an ‘unclean’ bill, which was deemed OK because it involved more spending and payment of $175,000 to the wealthy widow of deceased Democrat Senator Frank Lautenberg.

So much for the demand for a “clean” package: When it comes to spending taxpayer money and giving money away to a rich Democrat widow, Obama and Reid decided that clean was overrated, at least in this instance!


Mitch McConnell's "Kentucky Kickback"!



By John W. Lillpop


We all knew that Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was a despicable RINO and undependable in the pinch. We did not fully appreciate the evil that McConnell was capable of until he sold his very soul to the devil for $2 billion pieces of silver.

The issue was the government shutdown, the debt ceiling, the Obamacare train wreck, and the need for responsible governance. McConnell acted against all three in joining hands with Majority Leader Harry Reid to sabotage the courageous work of Ted Cruz and other real conservatives in the Congress.

As reported at the reference:



A conservative group is accusing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of including an earmark for a water project in the deal to end the government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling.

The Senate Conservatives Fund tagged the provision the “Kentucky Kickback,” and said it would benefit the Olmsted Locks and Dam, which is under construction on the Ohio River between Kentucky and Illinois.

“In exchange for funding ObamaCare and raising the debt limit, Mitch McConnell has secured a $2 billion earmark,” the group wrote in a statement. “This is an insult to all the Kentucky families who don’t want to pay for ObamaCare and don’t want to shoulder any more debt.”
The debt-ceiling bill legislation could be one of the last appropriations bill to pass before year’s end, and senators seized the opportunity to attach funding for projects and natural disasters in their home states.

Section 123 of the bill calls for increasing the authorized funding for the Olmsted Locks and Dam project to $2.9 billion.

McConnell’s office told The Hill on Wednesday evening that the senator was not responsible for the dam funding authorization increase, instead referring to the White House and leaders of the Senate committee that is responsible for appropriations.”

McConnell should be dunked in a vat of boiling tea as punishment for his betrayal. Disgusting!

GD Mitch McConnell!



By John W Lillpop


Republican Senator Mitch McConnell should be drowned in a vat of boiling tea as punishment for his hideous betrayal of the American people in the brutal and bloody battle to knock common sense and accountability into the heads of politicians from both sides of the aisle in the corrupt hell-hole known as Washington, D.C.

Seemingly from out of nowhere, the inarticulate, incompetent Senator from Kentucky sold very his soul in exchange for a few billion pieces of silver to fund a pork project in his home state of Kentucky.

McConnell, a master at pork barrel politics and ear mark corruption, pulled his betrayal in cahoots with Democratic Leader Harry Reid, which lead to the Senate passing the bill and sending it on to the US House where it was passed and sent to Barack Obama for signature.

It is now the law of the land, at least until January 15 and February 7 when the same treadmill will again captivate the leaders of a nation no longer able to function like a world leader.

Thanks to Mitch McConnell, Barack Obama and his Marxist minions will be inspired to seek even more government spending and even more government debt.

Thanks to Mitch McConnell, GOP efforts to derail the runaway train wreck known as ObamaCare will face even stiffer opposition from Democrats in both Houses.

Thanks to Mitch McConnell, the final nail may be driven through the heart of the American Democracy.

GD Mitch McConnell!

Just Which Is a “Religion of Peace?” Catholics or Muslims?




By John W. Lillpop

Americans and citizens all across the globe have every right to be proud of the good deeds and works of the Catholic church and its leaders.

Consider the facts provided by an anonymous conservative thinker:


When the Catholic Church was founded, there were no hospitals. Today, one out of five people in this country receive their medical care at a Catholic hospital.

When the Catholic Church was founded, there were no schools. Today, the Catholic Church teaches 3 million students a day, in its more than 250
Catholic Colleges and Universities, in its more than 1200 Catholic High Schools and its more than 5000 Catholic grade schools.

Everyday, the Catholic Church feeds, clothes, shelters and educates more people than any other organization in the world.

The new Obama Health Mandate could end all this and the tax payers would have to make up the loss.

Also, all Catholic adoption services would come to an end; a human disaster.

There are more than 77 million Catholics in this country. It takes an estimated 50 million Catholic votes to elect a president. I am asking all of you to go to the polls in 2014 and be united in replacing all Senators and Reps with someone who will respect the Catholic Church, all Christians, and all Religions with the exception of Islam.

Mr. President, you said, "The USA is not a Christian Nation".

You are wrong we are a Christian Nation founded on Judeo-Christian values allowing all religions in America to Worship & Practice Freely. Something Islam will never do.

Oh, by the way, on MUSLIM HERITAGE IN America ...

Have you ever been to a Muslim hospital?

Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?

Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade?

Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?

Have you seen Muslims shaking hands with a Muslim Girl Scouts?

Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?

Have you ever seen a Muslim do anything that contributes positively to the American way of life?”


Catholicism --the real religion of peace!

Obamacare: ‘Glitch’ Or Predictable Big Government SNAFU under a Deluded Marxist?



By John W. Lillpop


According to the dictionary, GLITCH means “minor technical problem.” Attributing the non-rollout of Obamacare to a Glitch is akin to calling the federal deficit “troubling.”

Fact is, despite what Barack Obama and the liberal media say, the deficit and Obamacare represent huge, perhaps irreversible, threats to American democracy and the future well-being of untold future generations of Americans.

Unfortunately, Barack Obama is so narcissistic and delusional that he refuses to see truth in either case.

His bone-headed determination to preserve his forgettable legacy, even if it means doom for hundreds of millions of Americans, is deplorable and a true indication that 44 has no moral mooring or genuine regard for people, little or powerful.

Even more to the point: The colossal flop of Obamacare is no surprise to anyone who has used common sense rather than listening to the outrageous lies and exaggerations promulgated by The One.

Obamacare: Completely predictable from a government managed by Marxist buffoons and anti-business morons!

THIS Is Utopia?




By John W. Lillpop

When the phenomenon known as Obamamania first swept across America, progressives hailed The One as the answer to all the problems which had befuddled humankind since the start of time.

Barack Hussein Obama we were told, by progressive savants, the mainstream media, and by The One himself, would atone for damage inflicted on the republic and its millions of citizens by 43 white males whom had preceded him in the Presidency, all of whom had failed to come even close to delivering Utopia, the progressive vision of heaven.

Utopia would be ours, it was promised, if only The One were allowed to implement progressive policies which would end the national obsession with capitalism, the US Constitution, the Rule of law, and other old-school notions adopted by white slave owners more than 230 years ago.

Government alone could deliver peace and prosperity to the great unwashed masses by leveling the playing field between the capable and incompetent, between the ambitious and the slothful, between the bright and the dim-witted, and between the accomplished and the dependent.

Barack Obama would ‘fundamentally transform America’ including the including:


* Abandonment of the mind set which begets perpetual war

* Peace through diplomacy. Even with Islamic terrorist states like Iran the key would be talk, talk, and more talk

* A program of government subsidies and stimulus to end chronic unemployment and retarded economic growth

* Increased taxes on the wealthy as a way to redistribute wealth to the less successful, less capable, and less ambitious members of society

* Free universal heath-care, including abortions and birth control, for all

* Actions to end the “irresponsible” and “unpatriotic” need to constantly raise the debt ceiling

* Unprecedented transparency in governance

* An end to the era of ‘racial politics’

* Eradication of special interest lobbyists

* Promotion of large, intrusive, non-accountable government over the interests of private enterprise

* Nanny state policies to disembowel coal, oil and other harmful energy sources, in favor of solar (Solyndra), wind, and other renewable “green” fantasies


In short, life under Barack and his Marxist pals would be filled with joy, prosperity, peace, prosperity, and love.

So, after five years of Utopia, America, how is that working out for you?

Obama’s Anti- Vet, Pro-Illegal Alien Bull**** Should Put Kibosh on Amnesty---Forever!




By John W. Lillpop

If ever there was even the slightest doubt as to where Barack Obama’s sympathies lie when it comes to protecting the free speech rights of military veterans as opposed to advocating on behalf of invading criminals (illegal aliens), events in Washington, D.C. this week should settle the case once and for all.

In what surely will be remembered as a thoughtless blunder of epic proportions, the scandal-addicted Obama team slithered even lower in it’s assault against American citizenship and military veterans by granting illegal alien criminals the right to assemble at the National Mall on Tuesday, in spite of the ongoing government shutdown, AND in spite of the Gestapo tactics used by Obama thugs to eradicate Vietnam war veterans from the Vietnam Memorial.

As reported at the reference:

Last week, Barack Obama did a disgraceful thing in barricading the World War II Memorial and then later forcing Vietnam Veterans from the Vietnam Memorial. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid then attempted to blame the Republicans for the barricades. Now, on the very same Mall that those Memorials reside on, the Obama administration has decided to hold a massive rally for comprehensive immigration reform (you know it as amnesty for illegal aliens) on Tuesday.

According to Charlie Spiering at the Washington Examiner:
A planned immigration reform rally will take place on the National Mall on Tuesday even though the site is closed due to the government shutdown.

Organizers for the "Camino Americano: March for Immigration Reform" were spotted Monday setting up a stage and equipment on the National Mall for the rally which will take place on Tuesday.

A few scattered barriers around the park have signs informing visitors that the area is closed as a result of the government shutdown.

Spiering writes that that Susana Flores, a spokesman for the rally confirmed that the group would be allowed to hold their event due to their rights, which are protected under the First Amendment. Well, Hell's Bells! Why are the veterans who fought to uphold the document that is supposed to protect such rights not given theirs?

On top of this, Lawmakers in Congress like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) are expected to be at the event, which is expecting about 10,000 people.

Various immigration activist organizations, along with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the AFL-CIO will be on hand as well.



This latest outage should set in motion the steps needed to impeach and remove Barack Hussein Obama from office. Pronto, Amigo!

Barack Obama is a disgrace to America, the Democrat Party, and his race. He MUST Go
!

The One at Just 37% Approval, and Dropping!



By John W. Lillpop


Although the government shutdown is bringing major PR problems to the GOP, the American people appear to be recovering nicely from the idiotic notion that Barack Obama is the source of all light and hope in the universe.

After five years of blatant lies by the least transparent administration in history, declining US prestige throughout the world, economic malpractice at home, decimation of the best health care in the world in favor of forced Marxist medicine, and general contempt for American citizens by the ego-maniacal Obama, we the people seem to be FINALLY wising up to the fact that our government is in the hands of a petulant mobster who does not understand, or give a hoot, about American rule of law, tradition, capitalism, religion, or religion.

Obama’s fall in the opinion polls has dragged The One below 40 percent approval as reported at the reference:



Most Americans disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job, the poll suggests, with 53 percent unhappy with his performance and 37 percent approving of it. Congress is scraping rock bottom, with a ghastly approval rating of 5 percent.

Indeed, anyone making headlines in the dispute has earned poor marks for his or her trouble, whether it's Democrat Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, or Republican John Boehner, the House speaker, both with a favorability rating of 18 percent.


Among the survey's findings:

— Sixty-eight percent said the shutdown is a major problem for the country, including majorities of Republicans (58 percent), Democrats (82 percent) and independents (57 percent).

— Fifty-two percent said Obama is not doing enough to cooperate with Republicans to end the shutdown; 63 percent say Republicans aren't doing enough to cooperate with him.

— Republicans are split on just how much cooperation they want. Among those who do not back the tea party, fully 48 percent say their party should be doing more with Obama to find a solution. But only 15 percent of tea-party Republicans want that outreach. The vast majority of them say GOP leaders are doing what they should with the president, or should do even less with him.

— People seem conflicted or confused about the showdown over the debt limit. Six in 10 predict an economic crisis if the government's ability to borrow isn't renewed later this month with an increase in the debt limit — an expectation widely shared by economists. Yet only 30 percent say they support raising the limit; 46 percent were neutral on the question.

— More than 4 in 5 respondents felt no personal impact from the shutdown. For those who did, thwarted vacations to national parks, difficulty getting work done without federal contacts at their desks and hitches in government benefits were among the complaints.”

The BIG question: Can America survive three more years of a lame-duck community organizer without disintegrating into oblivion?

Progressive Insanity: Illegals Thrive in California; Felons Boosted in Illinois!



By John W. Lillpop


Liberal debauchery, a product of profound ideological insanity, is in sharp ascent throughout our shut down, bankrupt nation.

It all starts in the sunny barrios of California, where “Moonbeam” Governor Jerry Brown has signed legislation which allows illegal aliens to drive in the Brown-battered state.

Mind you, the licensed invaders are given a driver’s license which clearly warns that the license is NOT to be used as valid ID for federal purposes.

ACLU shysters are already preparing legal briefs to protest the license disclaimer as---what else?-- racial discrimination.

Joining the ACLU lawyers in fighting for the illegal alien perk will be a fresh crop of lawyers whom are themselves illegal aliens, but whom are now able to practice law in California…thanks again to Jerry Brown’s tragic “Senior moment” which has lasted 40 years and has all but destroyed what was once a great state.

Anticipate a huge celebration in the immigrant rights community when an illegal alien attorney saves a drunken illegal alien gardener from Vehicular Manslaughter charges, by arguing that the driver’s 2.9 blood alcohol result should be inadmissible because of the discrimination fostered by the license which makes the miscreant’s illegal status so very obvious.

Things are almost as nutty 2,000 miles to the East where Governor Pat Quinn, another unhinged Democrat, has jumped in bed with convicted felons against business owners.

As reported at the reference:


Advocates said new legislation that helps ex-felons find jobs could also curb violence.

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn on Saturday signed laws that could result in lesser sentences for nonviolent offenders, streamline the expungement process and, in some cases, could clear a defendant’s record.

Anthony Lowery is the director for policy and advocacy at Safer Foundation, a local prisoner reentry program. He said ex-offenders often come home to high crime areas.

“They have the majority of people who have arrest and conviction records and who can’t get employment,” he said. “So, young people don’t see people coming out of the house going to work. They see people coming out of those houses standing on the corners.”
Quinn’s action will also help criminals who just happen to be unemployed former governors of Illinois—a population grossly over represented in the ranks of convicted felons!

From California to Illinois the message worth repeating is: Liberalism is a mental disorder that may be dangerous to your health!

Voters would be well advised to take up cigarettes rather than voting for any Democrat! Ever!

A Word of Caution to GOP House Members: A Vote For Amnesty Is a Vote for Obamacare!



By John W. Lillpop

Some rumors suggest that the reported death of amnesty in the US House may have been a bit premature.

Indeed, it appears that some Republicans, all of whom should know better, are favorably disposed toward a sweeping “Get out of Jail” card for tens of millions of invading criminals who have ignored US borders and immigration laws, and who all too often avail themselves of public services to which they are not entitled.

American sovereignty, the rule of law, and fundamental fairness seem to be out of vogue in the scrambled minds of some otherwise good Republicans.

There is a word of caution that must be delivered to any and all wobbly Republicans considering the unseemly surrender of superior American values and culture to third-world parasites from south of our borders:

Namely, the insidious disaster known as ObamaCare cannot survive without enrolling tens of millions of uneducated peasants currently known as illegal aliens!

Which is why Marxist pin heads like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have pushed amnesty so vigorously. Progressives must import impoverished, non- English speaking criminals in order to make a go of the newly minted entitlement needed to put the finishing touches on the demise of the greatest society in human history.

Thus, to good Republicans who oppose ObamaCare, remember: A vote for amnesty is a vote for ObamaCare!









Taking Time from War on US House, BHO Opines About Renaming Washington Redskins



By John W. Lillpop

How does he do it?

Think about: Barack Hussein Obama has a full plate, and then some, loaded with carrots, celery, cottage cheese, plain lettuce, and fat-free yogurt if his less-than-svelte wife has her way.

Spice is added to Barack’s life only by destroying the best health-care system on the planet in favor a Marxist health-care system that the majority of Americans, including labor unions and young people, simply detest.

His plate is also loaded with plans for a war against Syria which, much like Obamacare, no body but BHO favors; he oversees a wretched economy which continues to evade recovery; a nearly $17 trillion dollar deficit which, when half that amount in 2006, prompted then- Senator Obama to attack the Bush administration as irresponsible and unpatriotic for proposing to raise the debt ceiling; and of course, Obama works non-stop to keep the government shutdown with a keen eye on the 2014 elections and his dream of returning Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House where she can complete the Marxist conquest of America.

With all of that, plus several “phony scandals” to manage, The One barely has enough time to work on the outrageous daily lies needed to promote the ill-conceived Obama Care.

Still, whenever BHO finds a spare moment or two available, he always manages to weigh in on an issue to whet the appetites of low information voters and Democrat politicians alike.

Namely, racial politics.

BHO’s latest racial canard involves the earth-shattering question of whether or not the Washington football team should be allowed to call themselves “Red Skins,” as they have done for the past 80 years.

As reported at the reference, BHO comes down on the side of finding racial abuse and discrimination wherever it can be found, or, if need be, fabricated:


WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says he would "think about changing" the Washington Redskins' name if he owned the football team as he waded into the controversy involving a word that many consider offensive to Native Americans.

Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, said team names such as the Redskins offend "a sizable group of people." He said that while fans get attached to the names, nostalgia may not be a good enough reason to keep them in place.

"I don't know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real legitimate concerns that people have about these things," he said in the interview, which was conducted Friday.

An avid sports fan, Obama said he doesn't think Washington football fans are purposely trying to offend American Indians. "I don't want to detract from the wonderful Redskins fans that are here. They love their team and rightly so," he said.

But the president appeared to come down on the side of those who have sharply criticized the football team's name, noting that Indians "feel pretty strongly" about mascots and team names that depict negative stereotypes about their heritage.

Other professional sports teams have Indian names, including football's Kansas City Chiefs and baseball's Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Indians.”

Meanwhile, as BHO ponders the imponderable impact of the Red Skins moniker on the fragile psyches of millions of ultra-sensitive and innocent Americans, the nation continues to fall into the abyss of third-world dysfunction and decline.

Just to cool the rhetoric a bit, perhaps Red Skins should be re-named to match Obama’s unique sensitivity and concern for others?

How about the “Washington Special Olympians,” sir?

Spirit of Lois Lerner and Her “Phony Scandal” Haunts Dr. Ben Carson!


By John W. Lillpop


Although she has been driven from her position with the IRS and is supposedly no longer involved with that dysfunctional, and perhaps at times criminal, wing of the Democrat Party, the spirit of Lois Lerner appears to be alive and well as the agency continues it shameless abuse of authority against Americans for political purposes.

The latest victim of the ongoing “Phony scandal” waged by the IRS against Barack Obama’s enemies looks to be Dr. Ben Carson, as reported at the reference:



Tea party groups, Franklin Graham, Christine O'Donnell, a pro-marriage group. And now Dr. Ben Carson.

The list of conservatives targeted by the Internal Revenue Service for audits, tax-exempt reviews or tax privacy breaches keeps growing, raising fresh questions in Washington about whether a scandal the Obama administration has blamed on bureaucratic incompetence and coincidence may in fact involve something more nefarious.

The latest revelation came Thursday from Dr. Carson, the renowned neurosurgeon who told The Washington Times that he was targeted for an audit just months after he gave a speech in front of President Obama that challenged America’s leadership. The agency requested to review his real estate holdings and then conducted a full audit.

In the end, the IRS found no wrongdoing, Dr. Carson said, but it raised his suspicions about being singled out for his speech.

“I guess it could be a coincidence, but I never had been audited before and never really had any encounters with the IRS,” Dr. Carson said in an interview. “But it certainly would make one suspicious because we know now the IRS has been used for political purposes and therefore actions like this come under suspicion.”

Melanie Sloan, head of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and a former Justice Department prosecutor during the Clinton years, said she had not been that concerned about the IRS reviews of the growing number of tea party groups but the story of Dr. Carson’s audit raised red flags.

“I have not been particularly persuaded in the past with the IRS targeting of the tea party groups. But this one seems a little odd. This certainly raises questions that I assume someone will begin to investigate,” she said.”


Assuming that an investigation will be convened is but a silly fairy tale, at least in the US Senate, given the work load and agenda of Majority Leader Harry Reid and his supporting cast of liberal goons who spend all of their time and energy keeping the US government shut down.

Remember that it was the cheeky Reid who just last week chided a reporter for suggesting that the Democrats might abandon their shutdown strategy long enough to address the life and death needs of a young girl afflicted with cancer.

‘Why would we want to do that?'
replied Reid in a cold and ruthless moment of unintended transparency that exposed liberal compassion as one of the greatest frauds in modern political history.

Investigate the IRS for using “Nixonian” tactics and abuse against an American who is vocal in opposing the tyranny of Barack Obama?

One can almost hear Harry Reid whispering his reply, “Why would we want to do that?”

More Essential: Well-being of 330 Million Americans, or Ego Comfort of a Tyrant?




By John W. Lillpop


Being an intellectual heavy weight is not all roses and wine, as America’s failed community organizer/president has learned.

In fact, life as an intellectual elitist can be down-right challenging in a nation like America where kings, monarchs, dictators and those who believe they are entitled to special treatment are more despised, or ignored, than worshiped.

Being scorned while a member of royalty (at least in one’s own delusional thinking) is particularly distressing in a state which adheres to principles like equality, no one above the law, and other democratic ideals.

Which leaves Barack Obama jaded and out of place in America.

For example, his recent humiliation at the hands of Russian President Vladimire Putin during the Syrian standoff sent The One into a towering rage. For it was Putin’s ability to out smart, out class, and out maneuver Obama that has backed our beleaguered Ego Maniac-in-Chief into a corner, one that he cannot obliterate, even with a duly executed Executive Order.

Respect and honor cannot be decreed by fiat, no matter how precocious The One may be.

Barack Obama has reacted to his ego-scalding at the hands of his Russian counterpart in the only way he knows: By throwing a childish fit and refusing to negotiate about the Continuing Resolution, the Debt Ceiling, funding of essential government functions, and by acting out in juvenile behavior that one would expect from a six-year-old spoiled brat, but not from a 52-year-old “man” who claims exclusive rights to the moral and intellectual high grounds.

Still, given Obama’s several recent failures, who can honestly blame him for avoiding confrontations?


After all, having one’s clock cleaned on the world stage by a KGB thug would make anyone hesitant to engage further, even if the opposition is no greater than those low-life, Republican right-wing extremists!

All of which is why The One has refused to negotiate at all with the House of Representatives, a co-equal partner of government, at least according to the US Constitution.

The fact that the well-being of 330 million Americans will be adversely impacted is of little moment to The One.

For it is his ego, and preservation of his imagined superiority, that is most important of all.

Suffering another humiliating negotiations defeat just to advance the interests of the American people is a “non-starter” to Barack Hussein Obama.
