Pelosi: Democrats 'stand tall in support' of Obamacare

By REID J. EPSTEIN | 11/17/13 10:52 AM EST

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says House Democrats running in 2014 will embrace the Affordable Care Act in their re-election campaigns.

Appearing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the California Democrat declined to say whether the issue would help Democrats win a House majority but said there'll be no abandoning health care as a campaign issue.

“I don’t think you can tell what will happen next year, but I will tell you this, Democrats stand tall in support of the Affordable Care Act,” she said. “We have great candidates who are running who are concerned bout our economy, are concerned about government shutdown.”

Pelosi said the economy will be the primary focus of next year’s campaign.

Of health care, she said: “This is an issue that has to be dealt with, but it doesn’t mean, ‘Oh, it’s a political issue so were going to run away from it.’

If you have been to San Francisco in the last 10-15 years, you would understand why she is re-elected. Her constituents are as bizarro as she is.

I watched Pelosi for as long as I could stand it on Meet the Mess this morning. She is having age and linguistic issues. She had trouble presently a coherent thought without sounding and looking befuddled. She is definitely on the downhill slide of aging.

I thought Asians were natural republicans. Many Asian voters like gun control and the nanny state.

Not bizarre, she is just trying to change the subject. You watch this week’s talking points out of the Democrat Party will be it’s the “economy”. And, “We have said enough about Obamacare, it will work just fine once the bumps get ironed out.”

In the appendix of this pamphlet you will find listed the officers and
address for each district of the Communist Party in the United States.

41. Who can become a member of the Comtnunist Party of the
United States?

Anybody over 17 years of age who can convince the Party that his
first loyalty will be to the Soviet Union and that he is able to do the
Party’s work as a Soviet agent.

He must be an active member of a Party unit. He must obey ALL
Party decisions. He must read the Party literature. He must pay dues
regularly.

42. How do you go about joining the Party?

You must know some member ‘in good standing who will vouch for
you to his Party unit. Your acceptance still depends on the verdict
of Party officials that you WILL AND CAN obey orders.

43. Canyoube asecretm^ember?

All Communists are secret members until authorized by the Party
to reveal their connection. Party membership records are kept in
code. Communists have a real name and a “Party name.”

44. Are meetings public like those of ordinary political parties.’’

No, meetings are secret and at secret addresses. Records are all
secret and in code. Public demonstrations are held at regular periods.

45. What dues do you have to pay?

They are adjusted according to income. They may range from as
low as 2 cents a week to $15 a week with special assessments in addition.

46. What do you have to promise?

To carry out Communist Party orders promptly. To submit with-
out question to Party decisions and discipline.
To work for “The triumph of Soviet power in the United States.”

47. After you join, what do you have to do?

You have to obey the Party in all things. It may tell you to change
your home, your job, your husband, or wife. It may order you to lie,
steal, rob, or to go out into the street and fight.

12

It claims the power to tell you what to think and what to do every
day of your life.

When you become a Communist, you become a revolutionary agent,
under a discipline more strict than the United States Army, Navy,
Marines, or Air Force have ever known.

48. Why do people become Communists then?

Basically, because they seek power and recognize the opportunities
that Communism offers the unscrupulous.

But no matter why a particular person becomes a Communist,
every member of the Party must be regarded the same way, as one seek-
ing to overthrow the Government of the United States.

49. What kind of people become Communists?

The real center of power in Communism is within the professional
classes.

Of course, a few poor people respond to the Communist claim that
it is a “working class movement.”

But taken as a whole the Party depends for its strength on the sup-
port it gets from teachers, preachers, actors, writers, union officials,
doctors, lawyers, editors, businessmen, and even from millionaires.

30. Can you quit being a Communist when you want to?

The Communists regard themselves as being in a state of actual
war against life as the majority of Americans want it.

Therefore, Party members who quit or fail to obey orders are
looked on as traitors to the “class war” and they may expect to suffer
accordingly when and as the Party gets around to them.

31. How does the Communist Party of the United States work,
day by day?

The Communist Party of the United States works inside the law
and the Constitution, and outside the law and the Constitution with
intent to get control any way it can.

32. What are some types of Communist activities within the
law?

Working their way into key positions in the schools, the churches,

13

the labor unions, and farm organizations. Inserting Communist
propaganda into art, literature, and entertainment. Nominating or^
seeking control of candidates for public office. The immediate objec-
tive of the Communist Party is to confuse and divide the majority so 1
that in a time of chaos they can seize control.

33. What are some types of Communist activities outside the law?

Spying, sabotage, passport fraud, perjury, counterfeiting, rioting,
disloyalty in the Army, Navy and Air Force.

54. What are some official newspapers or m^agazines of the
Communist Party?

Daily and Sunday Worker, 50 East Thirteenth Street, New York
City; Morning Freiheit, 50 East Thirteenth Street, Nev^^ York City;
Daily Peoples World, 590 Folsom Street, San Francisco, Calif.;
Masses and Mainstream, 832 Broadway, New York City; Political
Affairs, 832 Broadway, New York City. There are also numerous
foreign language publications.

55. Does the Party also publish books and pamphlets?

Yes, thousands of them, through such official publishing houses as:
International Publishers, 381 Fourth Street, New York City; Workers
Library Publishers, 832 Broadway, New York City; New Century
Publishers, 832 Broadway, New York City.

56. Does the Party have public speakers and press agents?

Hundreds of them, paid and unpaid, public and secret, hired and
volunteered, intentional and unintentional.

Publicity seeking is one of the Party’s principal “legal” occupations,
intended to confuse people on all important issues of the day.

5 7. How does the Party get the money for all this?

At first it received money from Moscow but now it raises millions
of dollars here in the United States through dues, foundations, en-
dowments, special drives, and appeals.

58. Do only Com?nunists carry out Communist work?

No. The Party uses what it calls “Fellow Travelers” and “Front
Organizations” in some of its most effective work.

14

59. What is a felloiv traveler?

One who sympathizes with the Party’s aims and serves the Party’s
purposes in one or more respects without actually holding a Party card.

60. Is he Important in the Communist movem-ent?

Vital. The fellow traveler is the HOOK with which the Party
reaches out for funds and respectability and the WEDGE that it drives
between people who try to move against it.

61 . What is a Communist front?

An organization created or captured by the Communists to do
the Party’s work in special fields. The front organization is Com-
munism’s greatest weapon in this country today and takes it places it
could never go otherwise — among people who would never willingly
act as Party agents.

It is usually found hiding among groups devoted to idealistic activi-
ties. Here are lo examples out of hundreds of Communist fronts
which have been exposed :

1. American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born.

2. American Slav Congress. .

3. American Youth for Democracy.

4. Civil Rights Congress.

5. Congress of American Women.

6. Council for Pan-American Democracy.

7. International Workers Order.

8. National Committee to Win the Peace.

9. People’s Institute of Applied Religion.
10. League of American Writers.

It’s a reflection of her constituency a/k/a San Franpsycho. The only way she’d lose if her voters find a candidate more liberal and whacko than she is.

Millions of people have lost their health insurance. Many who are seriously ill have lost their lifeline and their doctors. This shameless woman and her supporters are absolute low-lifes. The tears and distress of those who are suffering because of her “you have to pass it to find out what is in it” legislation, have no effect on her and her voters. Shameless and heartless!

ObamaDemocrat care stole your health care choices.

Not ONE single Republican voted for this debacle when passed in the dead of night on Christmas Eve behind closed doors.

Thousands/millions are losing their health care policies due to Democrat feel-good socialism, even though Obama promised that wouldn't occur. He is trying to spin, parse, and make excuses and trying to blame the insurance companies who have to conform to Obamacare regulations to work within obscene Fedgov regulations as dictated by the HHS.

The fact remains that companies are laying of employees or reducing others' hours so as to stay in business and keep some employees. It will only get worse from here.

Remember, Pelosi said, "We have to pass it to see what it's in it."
We are finding out by the the day what's in it. It can't and won't work.

Spread these facts.

I got this in the E-MAIL a few days ago....Makes sense to me...

Of Barack Obama Ever Written By Jack Wheeler

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, nothing but abstract, empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

What he isn't, not a genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it. Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

It's something Hillary doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments Hillary could make of any kind can be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum, I believe it because it is absurd.

Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior. He is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Jack Wheeler is a brilliant man who was the author of Reagan's strategy to break the back of the Soviet Union with the star wars race and expose their inner weakness. For years he wrote a weekly intelligence update that was extremely interesting and well structured and informative. He consults(ed) with several mega corporations on global trends and the future, etc. He is in semi-retirement now. He is a true patriot with a no-nonsense approach to everything. He is also a somewhat well-known mountain climber and adventurer.
