How the Obama administration dismantled American government
The Daily Caller ^ | January 5, 2014 | Ken Hoagland

Obamacare is a flea bitten dog that never would have been enacted without wholesale and deliberate falsehoods said over and over again by Barack Obama and every Democrat cheerleader. It never would have been enacted without legislative sleights-of-hand and backroom bribes offered to key Democrats.

It never would have been enacted and Barack Obama would likely not have won a second term without the willing negligence of a toothless “watchdog press” who refused to independently investigate or report obvious lies.

Now we will be bitten by this dog and indeed, as many as five million people who have lost insurance (that they liked) have already felt the teeth. It will get worse. Although not widely reported, another 100 million Americans with workplace coverage (by HHS’ own estimates) may be dropped by employers and forced into more costly coverage through security-challenged exchanges.

Many of those already forced into Obamacare have seen their trusted doctors dropped from networks and even with subsidies, deductible thresholds so high that savings are just a fiction. Another fiction. And those people with severe illnesses who have been canceled and lost the best hospitals and specialist care may have already been condemned to death by their own government “helping them”.

As the American people absorb body blow after body blow from this destructive fraud, our system of government has, itself, been battered so that this President can have his “signature” issue....

It doesn’t make me sad that there are people pushing tyranny on us. There will always be people doing that.

What makes me sad is how easy the tyrants are doing it. They have no opposition at all.

That seems a much bigger problem for progressives who want Americans to trust and love their BIG mommy government.

Not sure why that part is bad.

What a load of B.S.Obama had a lot of help with the democrat led house and Senate and when they lost control of the House the Republican’s rolled over and played dead.Not all of them but enough to allow Obama to have his way.

A good column that needs a little tightening.

There (are) . . . no apologies for destroying the role of elected representatives who are, by Constitutional design, to be both the very instruments of “consent of the governed” and restraint of the majority.

Restraint was to come from a senate of the states.

The Founding Fathers wisely foresaw inevitable attempts to concentrate power and violate Constitutional guarantees and created three branches of government, designed to be in conflict with each other, that would check and balance excesses.

True. However, they also knew that if the states ever left the senate, if federalism was dropped, then ALL power would soon consolidate in the national government.

We can and must restore and repair the battered Constitution and the proper relationship between citizen and government.

Correct. Return the states to the senate.

Our chance comes this November.

Nope. The rats have had a hundred years to make elections mean less and less. Voting is necessary, yet far from sufficient.

Impeach Obama in 2014. Period.

The US House of Representatives is analogous to a Police Force - - - their main job of Check and Balance is to “arrest” the perp by Impeaching the perp.

The US Senate is analogous to a Jury of Peers who have the power to throw the Impeached perp off of the taxpayer gravy train, take away his residence, ban him from building a Library paid for by us, and ban him from using his personal Corporate Jet, Air Force One.

Most RINO Americans want to wait, Wait, WAIT! until they control the House, the Senate and the White House.

To those weak-kneeded summer soldier “patriots” I say “Enjoy the Obamanation that you have tolerated since January, 2009.”

In similar manner, we Summer Soldier Conservatives continue to tolerate a wimpy, hand-wringing, sobbing, crybaby Speaker of the House Boehner as our sorry chief policeman.

“Oh, if only my best friends across the aisle would just play nicey nice - - - “ is the perfect quote that fire-in-the-belly Socialist-Democrats love to hear from their doormat, cowardly, Obamacrat RINOs.

Yes indeed, as long as we WAIT for things to be PERFECT we will never attack those whose goal is to destroy the US Constitution.

Suck it up you sorry House RINOs, and replace John “Benghazi Coverup” Boehner with SC Rep Trey Gowdey, or SC Rep Joe Wilson.

Without a fire-in-the-belly Republican Speaker of the House, Obamacrat RINOs will continue to cave in to “their best friends across the aisle,” to the unbridled glee of every Democrat voter in America!

House RINOs: Pretend that you are paid by taxpayers to fight to enforce the US Constitution.

Fight or go home, House RINOs.

FIGHT or we will send you home!

Impeach Obama in 2014. Period.

_________________________

The RINO Establishment has been, is now, and forever will be a spineless relic that is incapable of protecting the US Constitution.

Commie Obama came in 1-2009, and by 12-24-2009 he had Nationalized one sixth of the US Economy.

Now, four YEARS later, loyal RINO Establishment stalwarts estimate that it will take a generation (20-25 years) to undo what Commie Obama did in eleven MONTHS.

What does it take for the Loyalist RINOs to draw a line in the sand?

As for concern about “loss of political capital” and other Leftstream Media manipulating tactics, when in the next 20 to 25 years would be a good time for y’all to consider to begin to commence thinking about draining the swamp full of Leftstream Media “alligators?”

There are more of us than there are of them, so grow a pair and FIGHT the Left Stream Media!

Remember this: Commie Obama is counting on never being held accountable for his violations of the US Constitution.

BTW, Boehner and McConnell have done their best to not hold Commie Obama accountable for 4 years.

Thus, support for the RINO Establishment is to continue to endorse the Boehner-McConnell protection from accountability plan for Commie Obama.

.
It would not have been enacted if Pubbies would have shown more backbone and educated the people emphatically as to what the consequences of Obamacare would be.

Constitutionally, Obama NULLIFIED Obamacare when he made those post-law enactment changes.
Therefore, since it is no longer the law of the land we don't have to follow it.

Obama is just hoping that we won't notice.

Hundreds of videos, articles, pictures showing Obama lying and pandering politicians apologizing for the Marxist...is not bringing Americans to their feet in disgust and action. Americans are being slayed by Political Correctness, Racism, and what Bill Ayers calls, Quite Communism.

Once again, it’s nice to speculate, like a great science fiction story, what America would be like if it had an opposition party.

Whatever or whomever he is, the one known as "obama" has been remarkably successful fulfilling his fundamental transformation promise.

I'd love to see how the spiderwebs of power hook up and which connect to him, b/c I don't see his possessing the skill set to get that done.

A lot of dominoes have been set up over the decades for him to be in the right left place at the right time to knock the first one over.

NO ONE will CHALLENGE Obozo with exception of the Little Sisters of the Poor thus far.
