Gruber's Masterful Obamacare Deceit

A mere two weeks after the political upheaval that gave the GOP huge victories in the House and Senate, and Governorships and State Legislatures throughout America, another bombshell hit which will further diminish Obama and the Democrats in the eyes of the public. MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber unwittingly became the embodiment of the duplicity and deceit that President Obama has perpetrated on America. 

“This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure [the Congressional Budget Office] did not score the mandate as taxes...If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies, ok? … lack of transparency is a huge political advantage and basically, you know, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically, that was really, really critical to getting this thing to pass.”

So who uncovered this monumental deceit? Was it the mighty 60 minutes? The Nightly New with Brian Williams? ABC News? 

Actually, it was the work of a citizen reporter, Rich Weinstein, who clearly has more journalistic inquisitiveness and investigative skills in his spare time than the combined capacities of the pedigreed and well paid armies of the so called main stream media. 

As it turns out, Gruber is a just paid hack for Obama, albeit a big one—he earned over $2 million preaching the gospel of healthcare social justice. There will always be paid hacks to help demagogues. 

The real villain here is not Gruber; it’s America’s old, Pravda-like media—ABC, CBS, NBC, NY Times et al. who not only bought Gruber’s pack of lies, hook line and sinker, but now refuses to cover the story. 

#Gruber is definitely not a worthy news story! @ABCNews @CBSNews @NBCNews pic.twitter.com/6u2m4BZr6Z

One suspects that when Gruber called the American Voters “stupid”, he also had in mind the obedient, lap dog media, without whose acquiescence and complicity in the ruse, Obamacare could never have been pulled off.   
  

A Time to Speak in Support of Israel

To every thing there is a season. So goes the song Turn! Turn! Turn! the lyrics of which are taken from the Book of Ecclesiastes, as found in the King James Bible. Ecclesiastes is ascribed to the Jewish King Solomon. 

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

I thought of this song in the aftermath of the cold blooded murder of 3 Israeli teens by Hamas and the predictable and nauseating response by Obama, our State Department and the "International Community"
—a call for Israeli "restraint".

 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven...
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak

This is a time to speak out against the bloodthirsty savagery of Hamas and the moral bankruptcy of the Palestinians whose mothers cheer when their children murder innocent Israeli teens.

It's time to speak out against Europe's growing anti-Semitism.

It's time speak out against the vile and evil BDS (Boycott Divestment Sanctions) movement promoted worldwide by Leftist and Progressive groups who—not able to destroy Israel militarily—seek to do so economically.

It's time to speak out against the farce of a Palestinian State for a people who have waged war, terrorized and murdered innocent civilians, and rejected peace after peace after peace for over 60 years.

It's time to speak out against US support of the Palestinian Authority, which the US taxpayer funds to the tune of $400 million per year.


It's time to speak out in support of Israel, the tiny country surrounded by Islamic and secular tyrannies and terrorist groups dedicated to its destruction.

It's time to speak out in support of Israel—the LIGHT UPON NATIONS—in a darkening world where Obama has abdicated US superpower status under the dangerous and false belief that the world can achieve peace and security through negotiations.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven...
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

This is a time for war. It's a time to utterly destroy Hamas. 

It's a time to use Israel's amazing military strength to conquer evil. 

It's a time not to be distracted by calls of "restraint" from those with zero moral authority. 

To every thing there is a season.
