Could Obamacare Just be a Giant Democrat Voter Registration Scheme?

-By Warner Todd Huston

Obamacare may just be the biggest, boldest scheme by Democrats to register millions of new Democrat voters, analysts say.

There is one thing many Americans don’t know about Obamacare. Within the procedure of implementation of the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare, billions of tax dollars are being given to left-wing groups to “help” people learn how to sign up for Obamacare. But, worse, those same groups are permitted to register people to vote Democrat.

These left-wing groups–called Obamacare “navigators”–are comprised of left over remnants of the now partially defunct group ACORN, other left-wing community groups, and union operatives, Democrat hacks all.

As part of their duties of “helping” people sign up for Obamacare, these “navigators” are also authorized to register people to vote over the phone and via the Internet. We’ll give you one guess as to which party they will push people to sign up for. Yeah. Democrat.

As former New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey pointed out in a recent commentary, these left-wing activists turned Obamacare “navigators” are not restricted from pressuring people to register as Democrats. She said that these so-called navigators “can say and do things that government employees can’t, such as urging people to register as Democrats.”

Obama In Straightjacket Costume Gets Employees ‘Sensitivity Training’

-By Warner Todd Huston

No one shall make fun of emperor Obama! So says a Kentucky hospital that forced all its employees into so-called “sensitivity training” after three employees entered the company Halloween costume contest dressed as Obama in a straightjacket being escorted by two policemen.

After the costume party, the bosses at Jennie Stuart Medical Center in Hopkinsville, Kentucky decided they weren’t amused when a small handful of employees complained about the costume contest entry. Not many must have been offended, though, because the costume won third place in the competition.

After the party was over the “prize” was handed out by hospital administrators: all 750 employees had to take “sensitivity training.”

The Newest Strike in Obama’s War on Journalists

-By Warner Todd Huston

Some of you may recall back in May when it was discovered that President Obama had seized the phone records of over a hundred Associated Press reporters without conferring with the AP before he did so. This was only one small example of Obama’s war on the media, of course as there have been many such incursions into the curbing of freedom of the press. This month we got yet another one.

Obama’s AP phone record heist was a big deal earlier in the year and had journalists all over the place screaming about losing their freedoms. But, because nearly every member of the press is a slobbering Obamaite, they soon forgot all about their savior’s un-American actions.

But this wasn’t the only time Obama has shown his utter contempt for Press, the very people that got him to office by giving him 100% favorable coverage for both runs for the White House.

A recent article in The Washington Post by Leonard Downie, who is currently the Weil family professor of journalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University, was stark in its assessment of how badly this president treats his lapdogs.

Trayvon Martin’s Mother Pushes Race, Scolds Senator Ted Cruz on ‘Stand Your Ground’ Laws

-By Warner Todd Huston


Trayvon Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton, on extremist Al Sharpton’s MSNBC show

Earlier today we reported on what Texas Senator Ted Cruz said about the sort of “Stand Your Ground” laws that allow people the legal right to protect themselves with deadly force. Now Trayvon Martin’s mother is accusing the Senator of a “disconnect” with the truth.

On October 29, Cruz said that such laws are not a whites-only law, as most racebaiters try to pretend, but are beneficial to all Americans regardless of race.

“We know that some in our political process have a desire to exploit that tragic, violent incident for agendas that have nothing to do with that young man who lost his life. We have seen efforts to undermine the verdict of the jury and, more broadly, to inflame racial tensions that I think are sad and irresponsible,” Cruz said.

I AM–And YOU are–The First Amendment

Your First Amendment rights are UNDER ATTACK!

Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee led by Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham have attached an amendment to Senate Bill 987, which would give the Department of Justice power to determine who qualifies for protection as a journalist under the First Amendment.

Here at the Franklin Center, we believe in the power of a free press. We already have a law to protect the press from government meddling in our newsgathering efforts and excluding Americans from the reporting process. It’s called the First Amendment.

Rep. Cole On McCarthy, Creating New Tax Hikes, and Giving Obama Credit for ‘Reform’

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a recent interview, Representative Tom Cole (R, OK) tried to take the “reasonable” stance by claiming that President Obama deserves credit for “reform,” but wouldn’t go so far as to say the tea party was like McCarthyism. He also said he’s open to tax hikes.

In an interview with Bloomberg’s Al Hunt aired on October 26, Cole said that he thinks “both sides would like to deal with the sequester” and by “deal with” he means he’s open to raising taxes, though he uses the euphemism “raising revenue.”

Cole told Hunt that “we,” meaning the GOP, are “willing to put more revenue on the table” to settle the budget negotiations by the December 13 deadline.

The Congressman claims that the GOP is looking to raise taxes in a “pro-growth” way. Cole also says that he’d like to see a tax hike connected to “larger tax reform.”

When he was questioned on those Republicans that no matter what comes will vote no on new “revenue,” Cole ceded the point that many would.

Denying Interview Request, Sarah Palin Sends Photo of Dead Bear to CNN’s Anti-Gun Piers Morgan

-By Warner Todd Huston

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin really knows how to jab liberals in the eye, doesn’t she? This time she was asked by CNN’s Constitution-hating Piers Morgan for an interview and Palin chose a unique way to decline. She sent a photo of herself, her hunting rifle, and a dead bear with a special message.

Palin’s special message read, “Piers: Kid of busy right now.”

Sarah Palin does it again, this time sticking her finger in the gun-hating Morgan’s eye with a photo of herself with a gun–and a dead animal! Priceless.

BREAKING: Settlement on Anti-Tax Group’s Political Spending By California Authorities

-By Warner Todd Huston

In the run up to the 2012 election an out-of-state, conservative, anti-tax group put upwards to $11 million into the effort to fight tax hikes in California. Immediately left-leaning groups cried foul and state authorities filed all sorts of charges against the political spending trying to force the group to disclose donors. Now that case has been settled and on terms favorable to the conservative group.

The One million dollar fine settlement was agreed upon between authorities and Arizona-based non-profits, Americans for Responsible Leadership and the Center to Protect Patient Rights (CPPR). The group Americans for Job Security were also a part of the coalition.

CPPR entered the California elections to fight Governor Jerry Brown’s tax hike scheme as well as to advocate for a ballot measure to fight overarching union power. Once in the ring, though, the $11 million being spent was attacked.

At issue is a California law that forces donor disclosure of groups spending on state-centered issue advocacy. Federal law does not require Political action groups to disclose donors.

‘Duck Dynasty’ Si Robertson Says we Don’t Need Gun Control, We Need ‘Sin Control’

-By Warner Todd Huston

The clan leader of the Robertson family on A&E’s Duck Dynasty has a stance on gun control and, like always, the left won’t like it. He says that we don’t need gun control. We need “sin control.”

He has said this before, of course, but his latest utterance was in an interview with Men’s Journal.

“It ain’t gun control we need, it’s sin control,” Si Robertson told the magazine.

Si also opened up about his past use of mind-altering substances, including alcohol.

Chicago Teachers Union: ‘This City Belongs to Black People’

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is pretty much run by communists and racebaiters. This month we get yet another example of that with a CTU organizer claiming that the city “belongs” to African Americans and not white people.

This sort of hate is typical of the CTU. As seen in the video above, CTU President Karen Lewis is very well known for saying that white people and anyone with a few dollars in their pockets should have no right to tell teachers what to do. The above video is from June of this year and shows CTU chief Lewis essentially saying the same thing as the organizer in the latest story.

For that latest story we go to the Chicago Tribune which tells us that CTU organizer Brandon Johnson dutifully echoed his boss, Lewis.

Obama Administration Says Anti-Muslim ‘Hate Speech’ Can be Punished

-By Warner Todd Huston

In May one of Obama’s U.S. attorneys in Tennessee said that Americans who spoke against Islam could be prosecuted.

Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, said that inflammatory material against Islam might be a violation of federal civil rights laws. Such a violation could bring the federal government down on those opposing Islam here in the US.

As reported by The Tullahoma News, Killian and the FBI’s Kenneth Moore hosted a “Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society” to “help” the community learn how anti-Islam speech could land an American before authorities.

“This is an educational effort with civil rights laws as they play into freedom of religion and exercising freedom of religion,” Killian told the paper. “This is also to inform the public what federal laws are in effect and what the consequences are.”

Killian talked of how some Muslims are innocent of terror and that terrorism is committed by only a small number of Muslims. Then he illegitimately invoked the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

CNN’s British Import Piers Morgan Calls Gun Owners ‘Heartless Gun Nut Bastards’

-By Warner Todd Huston

CNN’s late evening TV host and British citizen Piers Morgan is slamming America’s gun owners again calling them “heartless gun nut bastards” on Twitter.

Morgan got angry when he discovered that Second Amendment supporters were trying to create a “guns save lives day” to be held on December 14.

It so happens that December 14 was the day that a crazed murderer killed 26 teachers and children at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.

“Imagine the effect this ‘Guns Save Lives Day’ campaign will have on those poor Sandy Hook families, on that first anniversary,” Morgan Tweeted in outrage.

I hate to agree even a little with this insufferable, historically ignorant, Constitution-hating Brit, but he has a bit of a point, here.

84-Year-Old Obama Supporter Pulls Gun on Conservatives Protesting

-By Warner Todd Huston

An 84-year-old Obama supporter is accused of pulling a gun on a pair of middle-aged white women who were hosting a protest of Obama and his policies in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

As WSBTV reports, “Protestors Toni Pendley and Marge Moore are part of the Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment movement, a national movement that places signs along interstate overpasses with anti-Obama messages.”


Toni Pendley and Marge Moore

On September 28, the women were protesting on the Steve Reynolds Overpass above Interstate 85 when they said that a maroon car drove by. The driver, the women said, pointed a gun at them.

Family of Victim of Sandy Hook School Murders Still Support America’s Gun Rights

-By Warner Todd Huston

The family of one of the victims in the murderous crime perpetrated at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newton, Connecticut last year won’t have their Second Amendment rights taken from them even though they lost one of their dear ones to a killer using an AR-15 rifle that terrible day.

A story in the Republican-American features the Paradis and D’Avino family who are gun enthusiasts and supporters of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and they say despite the crime that befell their family, they are still strong supporters of American’s rights to bear arms.

Rachel D’Avino was a 29-year-old teacher at Sandy Hook who lost her life when the crazed gunman made his way through the building killing as many as he could before finally taking his own life as police closed in.

The killer used a Bushmaster rifle which is a civilian version of the AR-15 rifle that many in the media absurdly calls a “military-styled assault rifle.” But regardless of labels, the gun was effective enough to kill all too many women and children.

But this incident won’t deter the family from their belief in the U.S. Constitution nor will they let it destroy their warm family memories of target shooting together.

Obama Reviving The ‘You Didn’t Build That’ Lie

-By Warner Todd Huston

President Obama is again saying “you didn’t build that,” America.

You’ll recall just before last year’s election when President Obama got in hot water for telling America that we hadn’t built anything, but that everything we have was essentially a gift from him and his government. It is they who are really responsible for everything. “You didn’t build that,” America.

Well now that he’s safely elected he fell back into his actual, big government, nanny state thinking by telling folks at the Ford factory that “you didn’t build that.”

Charlie Spiering caught Obama back at his old game on Sept. 23.

Obama visited the Ford factory in Liberty, Mo., on Sept. 20 to push his failed economic policies, the message was that only Big Government is the answer.

80 Christian Airmen Being Punished, Harassed, Threatened for Refusing to Support Gay Marriage

-By Warner Todd Huston

80 members of the Air Force at one base are testifying that they are being harassed, threatened and even punished because they refuse to support gay “marriage.”

Fox News’ Todd Starnes has the exclusive story of airmen at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas who say they are being attacked by homosexual militants.

Starnes reports: “There is an atmosphere of intimidation at Lackland Air Force Base,” said Steve Branson, the pastor of Village Parkway Baptist Church in San Antonio. “Gay commanders and officers are pushing their agenda on the airmen. There is a culture of fear in the military and it’s gone to a new level with the issue of homosexuality.”

The pastor says he attended a meeting of many of these Airmen where they voiced their concerns over being harassed by their superiors for standing up for their own, personal religious principles and continuing to oppose the homosexual agenda.

Obama Lies: Shutdown Fears Mirrors Blather About Bailout/Stimulus/Sequester Fears

-By Warner Todd Huston

Worried about a government shutdown? Don’t be. It won’t affect you much. But that isn’t what the left and the Old Media establishment are saying. They are making this a doomsday scenario and the false rhetoric they are doling out to America is similar to the BS that we saw during the 2008 debate (see video below) over bailouts and stimulus spending–you know, that spending that didn’t stimulate anything but the pockets of government union members? Yeah, that stimulus.

Paul Joseph Watson made some great points in his recent posting noting that the doomsday rhetoric we heard during the 2008 stimulus and bailout debates were pretty much just what we are hearing today. If government doesn’t act it’ll be the end of the world, we were told.

I’d add that we heard the same stuff about the sequester, too. If we passed sequester and made cuts to government, the left said, children and old people would die, the military would blow away, and the country would collapse. Well, the sequester came and went, some spending was cut and guess what? No one noticed any difference at all.

VISA Credit Card Company Refuses Business of Firearms Store

-By Warner Todd Huston

VISA credit card company is now beginning to tell merchants that deal in firearms and firearms related merchandise that their credit transactions are no longer welcome with the credit card bureau. This is the newest front launched by the left to destroy America’s Constitutional rights.

Leftists that stand against our Constitution seem to have realized that they just can’t beat America into submission by using the legislative process to obliterate our rights. 2-A rights advocates have succeeded in making sure every state has concealed carry now and many even have open carry. Those that support our Second Amendment rights out number those that want us disarmed so that government can have more power over us. But these liberals aren’t defeated.

Since they can’t win at the ballot box or in the courts (lately) their next campaign is to force the business community to limit customer’s Second Amendment rights and this is one example. VISA has knuckled under to the anti-American left.

After working with VISA for four years and without a single problem, the credit card company has told Hyatt Gun Shop, Inc., one of the largest gun brokerage firms in the United States, that it is terminating its relationship.

Hyatt owner, Larry Hyatt, recently shared the message he got from Authorize.net, the online credit service run by VISA.

Extremist Professor: Trayvon Martin Case Proves it’s Legal to ‘Hunt Down & Kill’ Black Kids

-By Warner Todd Huston

Another day, another extremist, anti-American “professor” caught lying to our kids and pushing a far left agenda, this time at the University of Maryland where a so-called professor is saying that the Trayvon Martin case somehow proves that it is now legal to hunt down and kill black kids in America today.

UMD “Professor” and Honors College Executive Director, William Dorlund, recently sent an email to his students that said in part, “This year, we learned that it is legal to hunt down and kill American children in Florida.”

He is, of course a blatant liar. The Trayvon Martin case was a simple matter of self-protection. George Zimmerman was being beaten up by a bigger, tougher, younger person and he reacted in self defense. It was a pretty clear case of self-defense as the jury unanimously agreed.

45 Groups Sign Letter Supporting Sen. Vitter’s No Washington Obamacare Exemption Act‏

I have signed this letter. Will you talk about it to everyone you know?…

Those Who Created this Law Should Experience it Firsthand

(WASHINGTON, DC) — Independent Women’s Voice today released a coalition letter signed by 45 national, state and local leaders to Senator David Vitter (R-La.) supporting S. 1497, the “No Exemption for Washington from ObamaCare Act,” a bill that would amend the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Signatories include free-market leaders, heads of think-tanks, activist groups, business owners and organizations representing millions of Americans. (View letter as PDF)

Echoing 92 percent of voters who believe it is unfair that the Congress should be exempt from buying their insurance in the health exchanges, the signatories strongly support the effort to take back the taxpayer-funded health insurance subsidies for members and staff, and demand Washington to abide by the law as it was written and use the exchanges as they have required of millions of Americans.

September 24, 2013

The Honorable David Vitter
U.S. Senate
515 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington DC 20510

Dear Senator Vitter,

The undersigned organizations represent millions of Americans, all of whom believe in the principle of equal treatment under the law. That’s why we write in strong support of your legislation, S. 1497, The No Washington Exemption Act, which would restore this critical concept and make Congress subject to the same rules and regulations as millions of other Americans on the exchanges under the new health care law.

One of our greatest Presidents said ours is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. He meant that those in power should live by the same laws as the rest of us.

Big Media Conglomerates Pushing Shield Law

-By Warner Todd Huston

Earlier in the month I reported on the media shield bill recently passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now that the bill is moving forward through the lawmaking process, a coalition of big media companies are putting their highly paid lobbying muscle behind it.

According to disclosure reports, Time Warner, Hearst Corp., National Public Radio, CBS Corp. and News Corp. are pressing their multi-million-dollar lobbying machines into service to urge Congress to pass the bill into law.

A spokesman for the lobbying firm that represents the Newspaper Association of America noted that a “crisis” helped spur the bill to finally emerge from the Senate Committee, that crisis being the recent prying into journalist’s phone records by Obama’s Department of Justice.

Big media is quite pleased with the current language of the bill as it seems to give them deference in just who is allowed to be called a “journalist.” But not everyone is happy with the bill.

Boy Expelled From School For Playing With Toy Gun… In His Own Yard

-By Warner Todd Huston

And now the ultimate in “zero tolerance” stupidity. A school has expelled a boy from school because they heard he was playing with a toy gun in his own front yard.

Khalid Caraballo, a seventh-grader in Virginia Beach, VA, is about to be expelled for playing with an airsoft pistol in his own yard as he waited to be picked up by the school bus.

Thanks to a nosy, buttinski neighbor, who should be prosecuted for improper use of 9-1-1, called the cops on the kids playing in their own yard on Sept. 9. It wasn’t long before the school decided without proof that the boy was somehow threatening people with the gun.

Khalid, though, says that he and a friend were shooting the pellets into Khalid’s own yard but not shooting at anyone else.

Even the buttinski neighbor said that the kids were firing the gun at a target near a tree in Khalid’s own yard and that there was a net behind the target to catch stray shots. No one at all was in any danger.

CNN Anchor Says Founding Fathers Would Support Obamacare Because ‘It’s a Law’ Or Something

-By Warner Todd Huston

CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin is aghast that Republicans would try to defund Obamacare and she is sure that the founding fathers would support Obama’s signature healthcare law because, well, “it’s a law.”

During a September 19 segment of CNN Newsroom, Baldwin said, “Congress passes a law, in this case Obamacare, and then some of its members turn around and essentially try to sabotage it. Again, I repeat, it’s a law. Certainly not the way the Founding Fathers maybe drew this thing up.”

So, the founders would not oppose Obamacare because it is a foregone conclusion since it is already a law?

Baldwin needs to do a bit of reading. The very founders that she claimed would never have opposed something that had already became law are the same founders that generated one of our Republic’s earliest Constitutional crises when the John Adams administration (our second president and a founding father) passed the Alien and Sedition laws that made it illegal to oppose the government and Thomas Jefferson (our third president and a founding father) opposed Adams, used it as a central theme in his run against Adams and won the presidency where upon he repealed the offensive law.

But now that business owner Karl Lewis wants to expand he is logically moving his company to a better state.

Parent Forcibly Removed From Town Hall For Questioning Govt’s School Policy

-By Warner Todd Huston

It isn’t America any more when a parent can’t even ask a civil question at a town hall without having the jackbooted thugs that claim to “serve” the people forcibly ejecting him from the room. But that is what happened in the People’s Republic of Maryland this month when a parent was asking how the school curriculum would prepare kids for college.

The man, a voter and father of a child in the school district, stood to ask a very civil question. But before he could get it all out the school superintendent sent a thug “police” officer over to grab the man and physically push him out of the room even as other citizens yelled in protest.


Fascist cop quashing free speech of taxpayer

Left-Wingers Push Immigration Reform to Create Permanent Voting Block & ‘Boost Black Power’

-By Warner Todd Huston

Many in the media and the left claim that it is absurd when people say that the only reason Democrats care about amnesty is so that they can get millions of instant Democrat voters, but not every leftist tries to hide behind that lie. Some leftists, Like ACORN’s Bertha Lewis, are telling the truth.

Lewis spoke to last week’s Congressional Black Caucus conference and noted that immigration reform should be used to “boost black power.”

Lewis, the former head of the criminal group ACORN, told her audience that all the new minorities that will be sudden citizens with amnesty will become a new, permanent governing majority that she and the black power structure can control.

Tyranny: City Telling Residents They Can’t Park in Their Own Driveways

-By Warner Todd Huston

In yet another example of how our governments, whether city, county, state or federal, have become tyrants instead of servants, residents in Pittsburgh have discovered that they are being fined–some up to thousands of dollars–for “illegally” parking their cars in their own driveways.

You read that correctly. The city passed an ordinance that essentially makes it illegal for homeowners to park their own cars in their own driveways on their own, privately held property. And now city officials are randomly cruising through the city and handing out fines to homeowners for violating that “law.”

The city ordinance, being enforced by the Bureau of Building Inspection, states that no one can park a car within 30 feet of a building. This, of course, would make nearly every driveway in the city an illegal parking space.

School Textbook Says Only Military Allowed to Have Guns in USA

-By Warner Todd Huston

A textbook in Texas has been discovered teaching that Americans have no individual right to keep and bear arms, essentially telling kids that only the military–or an organized militia–can have arms under the Constitution.

Thanks to TheBlaze, a school book in Denton, Texas has been found giving kids an incomplete definition of the Second Amendment. Worse, this is a textbook used by advanced placement students, supposedly the best educated kids.

The book in question is titled, United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination and is the principal book used to study for advanced US history classes.

Here is what the textbook says of the Second Amendment:
