The RobamaTrons

With the President beleaguered by a economy showing signs of worsening, and the general public weary of the Presidents idealogical leftward tilt, the Obama faithful (RobamaTrons)are once again rallying to the cause of political correct dialogue.

Rep. Conyers (D-MI)had this to say about ObamaCare.
“I [heart symbol] ObamaCare” as part of his campaign to rehabilitate a moniker he thinks Democrats should be proud of.

“The fact that a healthcare bill is named after a first-term president who does what two other presidents before him couldn’t accomplish is really a compliment,” Conyers told The Hill. “A few years from now, ObamaCare will be looked upon as a complimentary description, rather than what [critics] are trying to portray it as now.”

Right Mr. Conyers, RobamaTrons certainly would speak highly of a pig in a poke. One that is sure to have far reaching negative consequences.

Chris Jennings, another Robamatron had the following.
“If everyone is naming it ObamaCare anyway,” Jennings said, “not being defensive and actually embracing it can be a smart strategic move.

“Many of us have worked for decades toward that end, and we should be proud of it. And we should be running on it, not running away from it.”

If one follows like sheep to slaughter then I suppose the strategy works. For the majority of Americans who still understand the value of liberty and choice there are many legitimate concerns.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fla.) in true RobamaTron speak weighed in.
“the Republicans mean ‘ObamaCare’ as a disparaging term.”

“The law is called the Affordable Care Act,” she said. “I think it should be called the Affordable Care Act and Republicans shouldn’t be allowed to continue to make disparaging references to the president while expressing their concerns about the provisions of the law.”

The statist mind at work. Don't call a jackal a jackal, rather call it something it isn't {positive} and then proceed sell it to the public under false pretense.

There is more at The Hill for those who enjoy comic relief. Which is really what the article boils done to.

    Call it whatever you like, "Obamacare" is better than what we had before!

    What we really need, though, is single-payer universal care. Healthcare is a basic human necessity. It should be a right and it should be guaranteed to everyone.

    A) It ain't kicked in completely yet and hopefully it is dismanted {repleaded} before it does.

    B) There is no right of universal healkcare. Never has been to my knowledge. If you can find it in the Constitution advise as to where you find it.

    Now if onr can find a truly workable national healthcare that is self sustaining and won't bankrupt the nation I'm all ears.

    >It should be a right and it should be guaranteed to everyone.

    To quote Joel Skousen, "Fundamental rights are those rights that all persons can claim simultaneously without forcing others to serve them."

    If some action, etc., requires that another person be forced to provide goods or services, then that action, etc., is, by definition, NOT a right.

    What you are advocating is thievery (and, because it forces behavior, a type of slavery). However, it is not just thievery, but thievery of the most cowardly kind. Rather than committing the theft on our own, you hide behind the violent force of the government to do your thievery for you.

    The only right to health care is the right to engage in a freewill exchange with someone willing to provide such health care to you in accordance with conditions that you both agree upon. You don't have the right to force anyone to provide such services, either directly, by forcing the doctor, for example, to treat you, or indirectly, by forcing others (taxpayers) to provide funding for such care.

    Why do you hate freedom?

    JMJ - Do you not understand the the term "spoiled brat" describes not Bastiatarian nor those who believe in the morally correct concepts he accurately and eloquently described?

    It does however describe those who believe in the altruistic socialist concept that the individual is bound to serve the interest of others and willingly accept their plunder while continuing demand more.

The Ignorance and Arrogance of Obama...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny In my opinion the President, in his attack on the United States Supreme court belies both his basic ignorance of our republic as well as his arrogance. His last uttering in and of itself is enough to deny the man, and I use the term loosely in this case, another term as President. Forgive me my rational liberal friends but his recent statement is more telling of his statist leanings than anything he has heretofore said. With this last he has proven beyond any doubt he is indeed clueless. The Washington Post - There was something rather unsettling in President Obama’s preemptive strike on the Supreme Court at Monday’s news conference. “I’d just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench is judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint — that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law,” Obama said. “Well, here’s a

The "Scandal" That Won't Go Away...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyr anny CBS - Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up." Nonetheless, in the eight months since the attacks, this is the most sweeping and detailed discussion by key players of what might have been done differently. "We're portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots," said one Obama administration official who was part

Spoken Like a True Dyed In the Blue Statist...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Ever hear of or read Mother Jones ? Well I just did, and as near as I can figure she must be Woodrow Wilson's or Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Mother. I say this because she sure as hell is pro statist and pumped up for growing the government bureaucracy. The article is short so it is being reproduced here in full. This site appreciates Mother Jones candor in expressing the statist credo and the desire on the part of the left for an ever larger and more intrusive presence in our daily affairs and lives. January's job numbers were fairly dismal, but the bad cheer wasn't equally spread. Private sector employment, as usual, increased—by 142,000 jobs last month. At the same time, public sector employment declined. Government employment at all levels was down 29,000 in January. Aside from the brief census blip in early 2010, this has been the usual state of affairs for the past four years, ever since the rece

It's Going To Be Close, Brace Yourself For Continued Polarization of America, Especially if Obama Loses...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The race is close, very close, with the momentum shifting to Romney. However, my take is the shift, as significant as it has been, came too late and too little. Progressives no doubt are biting their nails because as much as they prefer not to acknowledge it, this one is a real cliff hanger. Reminiscent of 2000. It is true if Obama loses this one progressives throughout the land will be wailing and gnashing their teeth. For them it will be a great undoing of their greatest hopes and dreams. Of course the other fifty percent of America will view it quite differently. So, as the polls close tomorrow, and the tabulating of the vote goes late into the night, we can be sure of a few thing... The nation will remain polarized, the puppet masters behind the curtains will continue calling the shots, the debt and deficits will continue, no mater who wins. And America will continue to ask why. Tomorrow, as I visit my polli

She is a life coach who specializes in helping others who experience the suffering of anxiety. More about Eva in her own words: I began my career as an office manager, which actually started my journey to becoming a life coach.  I was constantly bombarded with employees telling me about their work stress, which naturally turned into a conversation about  everything  — work-related or not — that took a toll on their mental well-being. I found that my most satisfying workdays were those that allowed me to help someone take control over their stress, whether it was something I was able to do in my role as the office manager or just as a compassionate listening ear. It wasn’t long before I scheduled monthly lunch meetings where the entire office practiced stress-fighting techniq

Is Our Democratic Republic At Risk From Forces Both Foreign and Within?...

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late.

April Job Numbers Appear Improved... Are They Really?

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyra nny The April job reports are out. The good news is unemployment fell to a four year low, certainly at year six in Obama's Presidential tenure strikes a positive note. Or does it? At the same time the number of people employed part time rose as well as strong indications are showing the Affordable Care Act (ACA aka ObamaCare) will have a long term negative impact on the USA economy. The following is an interesting analysis and one that certainly has some credibility. AEI - US job growth in April beat economist expectations as nonfarm payrolls rose 165,000, and the jobless rate fell to a four-year low of 7.5%. But the report contained worrisome signs that President Obama’s health care reform law is hurting full-time, high-wage employment. While the American economy added 293,000 jobs last month, according to the separate household survey, the number of persons employed part time for economic reasons — “involuntar
