House Votes to Repeal the PPACA (Obamacare) — for 37th Time

They just did.

I hope I'm wrong, but Bonehead could have impeached Holder for Fast and Furious before the last election.

Drat! My eyes are going.

It can be argued that Bonehead became Speaker thanks to Obamacare. The Tea Party movement got mobilized on the heels of Obamacare becoming law in late March 2010. If the accidental Speaker can't wake up now with three genuine scandals distracting the White House, then he's good for nothing! I hope I'm wrong, but Bonehead could have impeached Holder for Fast and Furious before he last election.

Exactly! They are allies of the left. It’s the second Cold War with the pinkos embracing supremacist Islam now.

What in Heaven’s name did George Bush ever do to “assault civil liberties?”

He signed the Patriot Act and enacted other policies that only a moral government could use.

With an amoral government, the left wanted to use those powers against its domestic opposition, e.g. drones killing US citizens without due process, monitoring emails without warrants, these AP and Rosen scandals, etc.

It was a wide breach of Constitutional rights that eventually enabled DHS' Napolitano to calling prolife protesters and veterans as being domestic terrorists, etc.

We have to acknowledge the threat that Islam poses with its claim to religious supremacy while simultaneously getting back to the original intent of the U.S. Constitution, and calling out our left's embrace of our Islamic enemies. (BTW, a reprise of what the pinkos did during the Cold War. I went to Vietnam twice at the time. I'm tired of all of their crap. I was born in NYC.)

You don't get out of being behind the proverbial eight ball by playing safe. FRack the left and Islam!

Sheriffs: Cuomo asked for silence [Threaten Sheriffs speaking out against gun control]

FReepmail me if you want on or off my New York ping list.

One person briefed on the meeting said Cuomo threatened to remove sheriffs from office, a little-used power afforded the state's chief executive under the state constitution. Moss would not confirm this. He did say the meeting was heated at times, but overall he described it as "cordial."

Kehoe did not return calls, and Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi declined to comment. An administration official, speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to discuss a private meeting, "strongly" denied Cuomo had threatened to remove any sheriff.

Last week, the Sheriffs' Association as well as several elected sheriffs filed an amicus curiae brief supporting a federal challenge to the SAFE Act.

After the 1960s, NY governors might well be able to remove a county sheriff. It might be a bluff. I don't know.

To see how the furor over my dissertation is so inextricably linked to today’s heated debate over immigration, consider that no less a mainstream-media institution than the New York Times reported on some of my dissertation’s ideas in 2009. The newspaper’s Idea of the Day blog discussed my proposal for IQ selection in neutral terms. No moral panic ensued. What’s different now is that immigration reform is at stake, and the whole conversation is hopelessly politicized.

The NY Times is far more often than not the BS media.

LOL!

The difference being, guns are mentioned in the constitution. Homosexual marriage isn’t.

Not quite. Arms are mentioned, and they are not defined. Rats are now fairly uninhibited about infringing everybody's right to self defense.

The left is also acting like this attack on traditional marriage is limited to same sex marriage. Only a fool thinks that. It's not far fetched to see Mormons and Muslims making common cause to repeal bans on polygamy. Just wait for the next iteration of the left's attack on traditional values after that, if the Supreme Court decides queer marriage id OK.

Add in other known lies, e.g. Benghazi, etc.

Thanks!

IRS AND AP SCANDALS CAST A BIG CHILL ON FREE SPEECH

You might not know it from reading much of the press, but Obama's administration has been much more aggressive in investigating leaks than Bush's ever was.

The BS media might have a surprise.

It's not just the politicization of the IRS.
