Here’s another interesting video proving
voter fraud. I’m beginning o believe
that if the election had been fair, legal, and honest, Romney would have won in

FIVE LIES ABOUT ObamaCare
5 Lies the Democrats Told To Sell Obamacare
From Townhall.com - by John Hawkins
When the Democrats were trying to sell Obamacare to the public, they told us that because of Barack Obama's magical health care elixir, Americans are going to live forever, in perfect health for free while unicorns will tote them back and forth to magical fairy doctors who will cure all their ills with pixie dust. Obamacare is going to be superior to the current health care system in every way and anything people heard to the contrary was obviously a lie cooked up by Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party to hurt poor people.It sounded great.
Of course, it also sounds great when a Nigerian prince offers to give you millions of dollars to help him get money into the United States. Unfortunately, those Nigerian princes with the funny names won't make you any richer, just as Presidents with funny names won't improve your health care. They'll just tell you lies like these.
1) Obamacare will cut the cost of your health care. If only. When Obamacare goes into effect next year, many Americans can expect STEEP increases in the cost of health care.
President Obama (promised)...that the cost of insurance would go down “by $2,500 per family per year.” ...In fact, the average 25 and 40-year-old will pay double under Obamacare what they would need to pay today, based on rates posted at eHealthInsurance.com (NASDAQ:EHTH). More specifically, for the typical 25-year-old male non-smoker, the average Obamacare “bronze” exchange plan in California will cost between 64 and 117 percent more than the cheapest five plans on eHealth. For 40-year-old male non-smokers, it’s between 73 and 146 percent more.
2) Obamacare will not increase the deficit. Calling for a massive new government program to cut costs is sort of like moving to Death Valley for the reduced air conditioning bills. Alas, it's not so.
Obamacare will increase the long-term federal deficit by $6.2 trillion, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report released today.
Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.), who requested the report, revealed the findings this morning at a Senate Budget Committee hearing. The report, he said, “confirms everything critics and Republicans were saying about the faults of this bill,” and “dramatically proves that the promises made assuring the nation that the largest new entitlement program in history would not add one dime to the deficit were false.”
President Obama and other Democrats attempted to win support for the health-care bill by touting it as a fiscally responsible enterprise. “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits — either now or in the future,” Obama told a joint-session of Congress in September 2009. “I will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit, now or in the future, period.”
You mean Obama lied to us AGAIN? Who would have ever guessed?
3) "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period." Soon, many Americans will be happy if they can find A DOCTOR, much less THEIR DOCTOR.
Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving their practices over President Barack Obama’s health care reform law, according to a survey released by the Doctor Patient Medical Association.
The DPMA, a non-partisan association of doctors and patients, surveyed a random selection of 699 doctors nationwide. The survey found that the majority have thought about bailing out of their careers over the legislation, which was upheld last month by the Supreme Court.
Even if doctors do not quit their jobs over the ruling, America will face a shortage of at least 90,000 doctors by 2020. The new health care law increases demand for physicians by expanding insurance coverage. This change will exacerbate the current shortage as more Americans live past 65.
What good is health care, even the bad health care we'll get through Obamacare, if you can't find a doctor to see you when you're sick?
4) Obamacare will create jobs. That would be true if you added "...at the IRS" to the end of it, but companies have already begun to move millions of workers from full to part time to avoid punitive new costs under Obamacare.
Retailers are cutting worker hours at a rate not seen in more than three decades — a sudden shift that can only be explained by the onset of ObamaCare’s employer mandates.
Nonsupervisory employees logged an average 30.0 hours per week in April, the shortest retail workweek since early 2010, Labor Department data out Friday show.
…This reversal doesn’t appear related to the economy, which has been consistently mediocre. Instead, all evidence points to the coming launch of ObamaCare, which the retail industry has warned would cause just such a result.
...One way for employers to minimize the costs of providing “affordable” coverage to modest-wage workers is to shift more work to part-time, defined as less than 30 hours per week under ObamaCare.
So not only are they going to get crummy health care, they're getting their hours cut back, too. Thanks, Obama!
5) If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep it. According to Obama, even though the government is about to come crashing into the health care market like a Blue Whale bellyflopping into a pond, it isn't going to have any impact at all on the insurance companies that were already swimming along. Why, if you like your own insurance, then there is nothing to worry about because you can keep it.
Yet, just last week Fox News reported,
New health insurance rules under ObamaCare could lead to a host of personal insurance plans being canceled as early as this fall, a scenario expected to cause consumer confusion.
Under the federal overhaul, those policies that cannot meet new insurance plan standards may be discontinued. This means individuals, and some small businesses, that rely on those plans will have to find new ones.
The goal is to ensure that most insurance policies offer a basic set of coverage, as part of the Obama administration's plan to cover most of the nation's 50 million uninsured.
Yet it also seems to run afoul of one of the president's best-known promises on the law: "If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan."
In fact, state insurance commissioners largely are giving insurers the option of canceling existing plans or changing them to comply with new federal requirements. Large employer plans that cover most workers and their families are unlikely to be affected.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners says it is hearing that many carriers will cancel policies and issue new ones because administratively that is easier than changing existing plans.
..."You're going to be forcibly upgraded," said Bob Laszewski, a health care industry consultant. "It's like showing up at the airline counter and being told, 'You have no choice, $300 please. You're getting a first-class ticket, why are you complaining?'"
On a personal note, as someone who buys his own insurance, the cost of my policy has gone up $50 a month since Obamacare passed and I expect it to be cancelled this fall, but I guess it's a small price to pay for us little people if it allows Barack Obama to feel like he finally accomplished something "historic."
Obamacare hasn't fully taken effect yet, but when it does, it's only going to get worse. Everything from death panels to unimaginably long waits for surgeries to bureaucrats denying effective, relatively common, currently in use treatments because they are "too expensive" are all coming down the pike. Obamacare is too much of a disaster to truly fix; so the best thing we can do right now is let this nightmare become reality, let people see how bad it is and then insist on a repeal or bust. Either the Democrats live with the disaster they've inflicted on the American people at the ballot box long term or they do the right thing and allow us to repeal this monstrosity before it does even more damage to our country.

WILL GOVERNMENT CENSOR MY BLOG?
Freedom of speech is a God-given right and it is a right given to all people, even those who are rude, obnoxious, insulting, and hateful. There is no law against any of these undesirable acts.
At least not yet.
There are some who would like to imprison people for the thoughts and words they blog on the Internet because they believe the Internet is different when it comes to free speech. Facebook, for example, has been under attack for allegedly allowing hate speech, but what is hate speech?
Hate speech is defined as communication that carries no meaning other than the expression of hatred for some group, especially in circumstances in which the communication is likely to provoke violence. It is an incitement to hatred primarily against a group of persons defined in terms of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and the like.
Hate speech can be any form of expression regarded as offensive to racial, ethnic and religious groups and other discrete minorities or to women. [uslegal.com]
Right off the bat, this violates the “equal protection under the law” clause. Why should it be OK to be rude, obnoxious, insulting, and hateful to white, Christian, adult men. We seem to be the only ones not protected.
If you are a Christian who believes that marriage is between a man and a woman, are you spewing hate against a protected class? However that “protected class” is free to unload on you. I agree that people shouldn’t discriminate, they shouldn’t be rude, or hateful, but who gets to decide when they’ve crossed the line and who gets to decide what they can or cannot say or think?
I also disagree with the stupid “hate crime laws”. If you commit assault and battery, you are guilty of a crime. What difference does it make if you hate the person you assaulted, or if you love him like a brother?
What if you don’t like the idea of Muslim enclaves or believe that Sharia law is a threat to freedom? What if you say anything negative about Muslims? Is that hate speech and should you be arrested for it?
Has this become a country that protects the free speech of hardcore pornographers but not my right to disagree with Sharia law in my blog?
The Brandenburg standard reinforced our free speech rights. Brandenburg v Ohio states that “the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”
Does a government boss get to decide your advocacy is lawless? If we relinquish any part of our free speech rights, we leave ourselves open to the tyranny of the government hacks.
With the growth of the Internet, some are demanding the decision about Internet free speech be reconsidered since free speech on the Internet was made based on traditional media. The Internet can lead to lawless action sometime in the future, according to some, which they believe makes it different from traditional media. Opponents to the current free speech parameters on the Internet say that traditional media was well-established at the time of the decision while the Internet is not.
When records, video, movies, and TV were invented, free speech was not given separate sets of rules for those mediums nor should it be for the Internet. Free speech means free speech in all public venues.
The First Amendment is not without limits however. True threats such as posting “I am going to kill Mr. X” is not protected. You can’t yell “Fire!” in a theater. Burning crosses meant to intimidate is not protected. Incitement to lawless action is not protected.
We should think carefully before placing criminal penalties on words and thoughts. We would possibly be punishing people not for acting on thoughts but for their very thoughts. For those who think it can’t happen – it already has.
In the IRS scandal, the agents demanded to know the content of the prayers of religious groups who applied for tax-exempt status. They insisted on seeing their social media postings. They also demanded donor information which could then be used against donors.
It is already illegal to incite to violence. We don’t need another law against it. Free speech is our God-given right and we must not give an inch on this freedom.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.

SEQUESTER UPDATE
Bo the dog keeps motorcade despite sequester
Even though the White House has canceled its famed tours due to a lack of funds, Bo the dog is still traveling in style.The budget for the White House Visitor’s Center is more than $9 million, which is the cost to operate Air Force One for “just 51 hours.”
But the real beef conservatives have with Obama is his dog, Bo. According to Fox News, whenever Bo travels outside the White House to certain events, vacations, or even Petco, he travels by way of motorcade.
And because funds are low these days, even for those inside the White House, critics of Obama are upset that young school children cannot visit the White House and learn via a first hand look at government in Washington, yet Bo the dog is getting the royal motorcade treatment.
Bo’s motorcade far too important to cut, but the
following cuts are necessary.
