Obama, You Reap What You Sow

Obama now reaps what he has sown

Those who plot the destruction of others often perish in the attempt. – Thomas More

As the Obama administration is being exposed for scandal after scandal, his plans are beginning to backfire. For example, the ever-increasing scandals at the Internal Revenue Service are now jeopardizing critical funding for the agency as it attempts to play a major role in the implementation of Obamacare. Obama was planning a major budget increase for the IRS, but now the feat is proving difficult as Congress sees that the IRS has proven to be untrustworthy. This proves the famous, unchangeable law of sowing and reaping – the Obama administration’s actions are blowing up in their face. Let me explain…

Big government is a Goliath to fear

Martin Niemöller reminded us why big government is a thing to fear

A 10-year-old girl with cystic fibrosis has given us a snapshot into the brave new world of big government and why we should fear it.

The parents of Sarah Murnaghan asked to put her on an adult waiting list for a lung transplant, but health authorities said she wasn’t 12, the minimum age. It took a court order amid public outrage to reverse what amounted to a death sentence.

Contrast this with the government’s waiving all rules when a major Democratic donor with cancer wanted access to a new drug that the Federal Drug Administration was years away from approving.

What are you afraid of?

The Tea Party in New Jersey hopes to make a difference in the primary.

Is anyone still asking, “What are you afraid of?” No one who is paying attention, that’s for certain.

As the gun control debate raged across this country, several weeks ago TPATH proposed legislation that, in a sense, acquiesced to the growing need for a National Registry for the purpose of firearms purchases.

IRS scandal widens

The IRS scandal gained a new face - in Congress.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has always targeted conservative groups, pro-Israel groups, and groups seeking to improve America. Now its activities are a public scandal. But this should surprise no one.

IRS targets conservative groups

The IRS scandal gained a new face - in Congress.

Members and leaders of conservative groups (and libertarian groups, too) have long suspected it. Yesterday the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) admitted it. The IRS actually apologized for making things difficult for conservative groups who apply for tax-exempt status. As usual in cases like these, they laid the blame with middle managers in one office. But they offer no reason to doubt that the IRS routinely targets conservative groups or libertarian groups for special grief.

Too late for America?

Is it too late for our country?

The dust has long since settled regarding this past Presidential election which has embittered, disappointed and jaundiced many of those recently awakened patriots who left the comfort of their homes, traveled to DC or state houses and protested the organized destruction of their country. So many of them believed in their hearts, that millions of promulgating citizens, could wake up and shake up entrenched politicians. The question is: have they?

Why do you believe what Obama says?

If you believe Obama, I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge

In 1951, the movie Royal Wedding was released, starring Fred Astaire and Jane Powell. One of the catchy tunes in the movie was a song entitled: “How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You, When You Know I’ve Been a Liar All My Life?”

Doctors’ strike in the making?

The Star of Life. A doctors’ strike might make that irrelevant.

Fifty-five years and five months ago this month, a Russian émigrée told the world what would happen if all the productive and creative people of the world went on strike. And now we might have the answer. A survey, released two days ago, is the strongest evidence yet of the one thing that will make “Obamacare” of no moment: a doctors’ strike.

Contraceptive Mandate unchanged

The Constitution. Did Lois Lerner waive her rights under this document?

Don’t let the Friday Afternoon Document Dump fool you. The “new” regulations on the Obamacare Contraceptive Mandate change nothing, except to make it look reasonable where it didn’t before. The Contraceptive Mandate keeps its essence. For that reason, the Roman Catholic Church and concerned Christian businesses are still fighting it.

Obamacare Dead On Arrival In 2013, Part 3

The Constitution. Did Lois Lerner waive her rights under this document?

It bears repeating: this unconstitutional Obamacare “Act” H.R.3590 is a deprivation of liberty, and has no severability clause. Therefore any single violation of the U.S. Constitution renders the entire “Act” “null and void.”
