Happy New Year to all of you! I hope you had a nice Hanukkah and Christmas, as well as some time to relax with your families. Let's jump right in.
I'll start with the total joke that is Obamacare. Notice the Dems suddenly ditched the moniker even Barry said he liked? Leatherface was lecturing some reporter the other day on the fact it's called ACA, despite the A & C being total lies, it's neither affordable nor does it provide any care. The more we see about this attack on the free marketplace and govt. seizure of most every aspect of our lives, the more even the dumbest Americans are waking up. The irony is delicious, the very groups meant to benefit from Obamacare and supportive of it, are the ones getting burned the most. That would be the poor and the young who voted for Obama in a big way. I don't feel sorry for either group, they will reap what they sowed. Last issue I mentioned the radioactive factor of Obamacare and his govt. run healthcare in LA. Sen. Mary Landrieu is gonna face the voters in Nov. and made sure she ran the hell away from Barry during his LA visit. NC's Kay Hagen did exactly the same thing a few days ago, I think it was a "family crisis" that involved her hair salon, LOL.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/north-carolina-senator-avoids-obama-visit-article-1.1581658 An Obama lackey recently admitted they have no idea how many have actually paid for Obamacare. Neither do the rubes who signed up, many find out on their first attempt to use it.
I could go on and on about this but the bottom line is this: This abortion was bred by Dems and Dems, alone. It's the first major law in US history that was passed on a purely 1-party vote. They own it and they will be punished in 2014. When Nov. nears, I predict the number of Americans who've lost their coverage will exceed those who got ACA policies. The "if you like your Dr." lie was not just repeated endlessly by Obama. All the Dems who dutifully voted for it are also on video telling the same lie over and over, something their GOP opponents will run over and over in campaign ads. By then, the other shoe (employer mandate) will have dropped and even more Americans will be furious and seeking vengeance. What is now impossible to hide or deny is that this plan was never meant to work. It was designed to sabotage and destroy private insurance so people would be in a panic and demand single payer, what Obama promised SEIU he'd do back in 2007.
The meltdown of the Middle East is being seen on a daily basis. It's clear we spent countless American blood and treasure to meddle in countries that hate us and prefer Sharia Law. Iraq is far worse off than before 2003 and Al Qaeda is taking it over, with the help of Iran. The Arab Spring is now a rotting boil of failure, needless US losses and discontent. Afghanistan, Barry's "good war", is no better off. Every time I see their leader, who looks like he's wearing a bedroom drape poncho and an organ grinder monkey's hat on his head, it makes me sick. Bob Gates' trashing of Obama in his recent book is a clear sign the top brass have no respect for this buffoon and his so called foreign policy. The same is true of the newly released documents re: Benghazi. They have exposed the fact Obama and his minions were immediately aware it was a terrorist attack and lied from day 1. The recent puff piece from the NYT was a transparently pathetic attempt to clear the deck for Hillary in 2016. It's not a huge issue but still hangs around. The NYT may be clinically dead in readership numbers but they'll never stop being Obama's #1 useful idiot. Gallup just polled the steadily increasing number of Americans who say they are $ worse off than last year, now at 42%. No problem, NYT did a piece on a "study" that concluded hard work and sacrifice can make you ill. That way the low info (moron) voter can say there's an upside to Obamanomics and the 92 million out of work.
It seems the Left can't catch a break these days. No sooner had the ink dried on the NYT Hillary coverup, there was a bipartisan report that completely refuted their lies of a video causing the "spontaneous" attack.
The Christie issue is also exposing the Left's double standard and hypocrisy. They've jumped all over Crisco, as if he'd shot JFK, over a bridge lane tampering. I'm not suggesting the issue doesn't warrant investigation and severe consequences, if it's proven the Gov. was involved. I'm pointing out that this same, outraged over Crisco media refuses to cover all the Obama scandals and either dismisses them or aids in the coverup. Last issue I told you the media love affair with Crisco would end abruptly, as soon as he was seen as a threat to Hillary. Let this recent vendetta and witch hunt be a warning to all Repubs who are so wimpy, insecure and needy that they think they can suck up to their opponents and win favor. Liberalism is not to be coddled, it is to be exposed, confronted and defeated!
The recent attempts to trash the film Lone Survivor are also backfiring. The Navy SEAL who the film is about (Marcus Luttrell) is nobody you wanna lie about or anger. He's been cracking heads (figuratively, of course) on TV when anyone tries it. The most unusual part of this is Mark Wahlberg, who played Luttrell, is by his side in some of these appearances. It's rare to see Hollywood defend our troops.
Even the Duck Dynasty bugaboo got ugly and backfired on the Left. In the end A&E had to bend over and shut up. They realized they were put in a bind of either angering 5% of their viewers or 85%, duh! It's hilarious that a network with an artsy, frou frou name has to depend on a silly show about a redneck family that eats together and prays for their biggest $. DD isn't the only manly show on A & E, they also have Longmire and The Glades. Can you say market reality trumps liberal hypocrisy? Needless to say, this puts a fatal shot in Obama's dream of gun control, pun intended. There are more people in IL, aka Barryville, getting concealed weapon permits than signing up for Obamacare- ouch!
Amid all these setbacks, Obama is trying his usual tactics- talking endlessly about nothing. Even the bussed in, sycophant audiences are glassy-eyed and not buying it. He's even slipping up and blurting out very revealing truths, like his recent comments about having a pen to deal with a Congress that opposes him via executive order. It's Barry's way of saying "yeah, I'm a tyrant and do whatever the hell I want, just try and stop me!". I doubt the pathetic, spineless GOP will try to impeach him, even of they take back the Senate.
There was an arrest in NYC of a 35 year old scumbag who attacked 7 elderly Jews in what's spun as the knockout game. No, it's not just teenagers doing this. Holder & Co. don't wanna prosecute him as a hate crime offender. They only do that when it's white on black violence, a rare occasion. Allen West said it best. At some point one of these thugs will attack someone who carries a concealed weapon and that person will shoot and (hopefully) kill one of these feral animals. Then the media will suddenly care and we'll see poverty pimps like Jackson & Sharpton run out like they did with the Martin case.
For me, the most disgusting aspect of the upcoming elections is how RINO cowards like McConnell, Boo Hoo (Boehner) and Grahamnesty are actively opposing their more conservative candidates. These feckless wimps are happy to remain a perpetual minority party, so long as they can keep their little perks and pensions. They are obsessed with acceptance from an opposition who despises and ridicules them. I sincerely hope this summer brings us many primary challenges and removes these clowns for good. Karl Rove, whom I'm also sick and tired of seeing and hearing, predicted none of the RINOs who get primary challenges will lose. Aside from the obvious benefit of removing these spineless impediments, it would be great to see Rove ridiculed and run outta the media town on a rail. He already made a fool of himself on election night 2012 when he refused to accept that it was over and Romney had lost big.
On the dental legislation front, we have our usual slate of issues to deal with. It seems the Rafterdontists are back at it, trying to get lawmakers to support what I call the Cuban Dentist Adjustment Act of 2011 (now 2014). So far none of the Senators have wanted to touch it, but we must keep an eye on this issue. It also looks like the House will be our biggest impediment for our bills. I differ from the FDA position of keeping on in the same manner as the past 3 years. I recently learned that optometrists had to spend 10 years on an issue to prevail! That's their problem, they've become Costco and Wal Mart employees. We shouldn't have to spend 10 years to pass non-covered services legislation that 37 states already have. I think this year we need to ditch what so far has proven to be Einstein's def. of insanity and go from alternative to ultimatum.
I'll close with the Mandela funeral. Boy did Barry get an eyeful and earful from Moochelle! The pictures of him and the leggy Danish blonde, as his 1st lady feels increasingly 2nd tier and shows it, are hysterical. In the last pics, he's forced to switch seats. Guys, it's never a good idea to humiliate our wives, even if the other lady is blonde, nicer and better looking. Check out the proof as you scroll down:

On a more serious note, Mandela did some great things but he also did some horrible ones. Of course, the same liberal media who wants to make sure we know the Founding Fathers owned slaves and makes mass murderer, Che Guevara, a folk hero would never report these things.
So, I took the liberty of doing their job, see for yourselves.
