America, You’ve Been Grubered!

Kurt Schlichter/ Townhall Columnist

The most important effect of the revelations of the Administration’s flunkies’ history of cheesy lies about Obamacare is that liberals must now answer one threshold question before discussing the substance of any new socialist scheme:

Why should we trust anything liberals say about anything?

Grubergate is just one of the score of scandals, frauds, and failures that have destroyed any trust in this collection of creeps by anyone except the most leftist and the most stupid, two sets which, if graphed in a Venn diagram, would be represented by a single circle.

IRS oppression. Executive amnesty. VA death lists. The Benghazi filmmaker frenzy. You’d think that statistically this Administration would have to act honestly and/or competently sometime. Instead, Obama’s managed to create the political equivalent of a broken clock that’s never right.

The liberals are fuming, infuriated that Jonathan Gruber let the cat out of the bag. Then let out another. And another. In fact, he dumped out a whole bag of cats as new media detectives released fresh clips daily depicting his smarmy confessions that he thinks the people who fell for Obamacare are drooling idiots. No, don’t look at us conservatives – we saw through this crypto-fascist scheme from Day One. Your boy Gruber is just telling it like it is – when liberals aren’t liars, they’re morons.
Like the hip kids say, hate the game, not the single payer.

What to do? With apologies to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, the liberals in the media, which is to say “the media,” ran through the first four of the five stages of grief in record time.

Stage One – Denial: “Gruber who? Never heard of the guy I said was key to the whole Obamacare idea. And I never heard of Obamacare either. Look, a squirrel!”

Stage Two – Anger: “This is an outrage, citing the statements of a guy we spent years touting as an expert on Obamacare who says it was all a giant scam! You are the worst human being since that inhuman monster who wore a whimsical shirt to a comet landing!”

Stage Three – Bargaining: “Well, uh, Mitt Romney hired him too so it’s not so bad. Wait, what? You say that for conservatives, defending Mitt Romney over Romneycare is not a thing?”

Stage Four – Depression: “How can we ever hope to trick – I mean ‘convince’ – the American people to trust us enough about made-up crises to ever again transfer massive amounts of money and power to us liberals and the institutions we control?”

Obama Flips Blacks on Backs                                        

Katie Kieffer / Townhall Columnist

How does the first black president reward blacks for voting for their hero?

With an executive order: “Go to the back of the employment line.

Get behind illegal immigrants, including carriers of tuberculosis and criminals at large. Blessed are the politically useful and illegal immigrants are more useful than African Americans.”

Blacks voted for Obama in record numbers: 91% in 2008 and 87% in 2012. It was historic. Yet, last week via unconstitutional executive order, the president announced an immigration “reform” plan that will disproportionately hurt African Americans.

Trayvon Martin could have been “my son,” Obama sighed in 2012 when his re-election was at stake. Obama used Martin’s tragic death to tell blacks that they could not trust white people. They could only trust him.

In 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014 Obama fanned racial tensions in order to win the black vote. Instead of using his biracial heritage to foster harmony, he told Republicans they “can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.”

In August of 2014, a white cop in Ferguson, MO used lethal force to defend himself against a black man named Michael Brown who had just participated in a strong-arm robbery. Desperate to turn out black voters in the 2014 midterms, the Obama administration made Brown into the new Martin.

Attorney General Eric Holder warned blacks not to trust white law enforcement: “I understand that mistrust. I am the Attorney General of the United States. But I am also a black man.”

Today, Obama fans racial tensions with the goal of giving his party a permanent monopoly on the White House. “You can come out of the shadows and get right with the law. That’s what this deal is.” Obama said on Thursday. Over and over, he painted illegal immigrants as victims of a life in the “shadows.”

21.9% of young blacks are unemployed and 14.7% of Millennials overall are unemployed. All Americans are hurting but young people—especially young blacks—are hurting the most. Good thing Obama is focused on a bigger humanitarian crisis: how he and his political party can capitalize on the scores of children who are entering our country illegally.

Ex-FSA fighter: Islamic State “magnet that attracts large numbers of Muslims”

By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

“We have a Free Syrian Army and a moderate opposition that we have steadily been working with that we have vetted.” — Barack Obama, September 2014

What was he working with them for? To get them to fight the Islamic State. But now the U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State are being used by FSA fighters as a pretext to join the Islamic State.

If this is true, they were never going to fight the Islamic State, and were never “vetted moderates.” Obama’s whole Syria strategy is based on fantasy.

“US air strikes in Syria driving anti-Assad groups to support Isis,” by Mona Mahmood, the Guardian, November 23, 2014:

US air strikes in Syria are encouraging anti-regime fighters to forge alliances with or even defect to Islamic State (Isis), according to a series of interviews conducted by the Guardian.

Fighters from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Islamic military groups are joining forces with Isis, which has gained control of swaths of Syria and Iraq and has beheaded six western hostages in the past few months.

Some brigades have transferred their allegiance, while others are forming tactical alliances or truces. Support among civilians also appears to be growing in some areas as a result of resentment over US-led military action.

“Isis now is like a magnet that attracts large numbers of Muslims,” said Abu Talha, who defected from the FSA a few months ago and is now in negotiations with other fighters from groups such as the al-Nusra Front to follow suit.

Assam Murad, a fighter from a 600-strong dissident FSA brigade near Homs said:

“There’s no way we would fight Isis after the US military campaign against them.”

A third man, Abu Zeid, the commander of an FSA brigade near Idlib and a defector from President Bashar al-Assad’s army, said: “All the locals here wonder why the US coalition never came to rescue them from Assad’s machine guns, but run to fight Isis when it took a few pieces of land. We were in a robust fight against Isis for confiscating our liberated areas, but now, if we are not in an alliance, we are in a truce with them.”

These and other Syrian fighters told the Guardian in interviews by phone and Skype that the US campaign is turning the attitudes of Syrian opposition groups and fighters in favour of Isis. Omar Waleed, an FSA fighter in Hama, north of Damascus, said: “I’m really scared that eventually most of the people will join Isis out of their disappointment with the US administration. Just have a look on social media websites, and you can see lots of people and leaders are turning to the side of Isis.

“We did not get any weapons from the US to fight the regime for the last three years. Only now US weapons arrived for fighting Isis.”…

He and his fellow fighters were awaiting the arrival of Isis militants in Homs, he added.

“The moment Isis fighters touch the soil of the Homs countryside, we will be the first to fight with them at the front. This [US-led] military coalition is not against Isis, it is against entire Islam.”…

Netanyahu of Upcoming French Vote on “Palestinian” Terror State: ‘This is What They Have to Do Now when the World is Exploding?’

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

The continent responsible for the extermination of six million Jews is now legislating the next genocide. Their fate is sealed, because they unwilling to emerge from their primordial ooze of hate. Who is going to save Europe this time around? Obama?

Europe is reverting. Europe has returned to its old stomping grounds — comfortable again to indulge their dark, monstrous impulses.

The Holocaust, while it was a German initiative, was carried out by every nation in Europe, save for the Danes. There were Dutch Nazis, Polish Nazis, French Nazis etc— Europe as a continent decided it was a good idea to get rid of the Jews.  The New Yokr Times has reported the discovery of 42,500 Nazi ghettos and camps over 13 years of...

Op-ed:
While We're All Focused on Ferguson GITMO Terrorists Go Free
By: Diane Sori  

“As long as detainees are rejoining the battlefield, these transfers must stop."
- Rep. Buck McKeon (R-CA) House Armed Services Committee Chairman

How dare he...

America is in the midst of gut-wrenching inner turmoil because of the man who deems himself king. From his inserting himself into the Ferguson powder keg with his "stay the course" comment...to the Ebola false flag that we would soon see a large scale outbreak extending from coast to coast...to dishonoring those who came to our country LEGALLY by giving amnesty to those who did NOT...Barack HUSSEIN Obama has continuously shown himself to be what we all feared...a racist of the worst kind, a traitor to America, and an enemy combatant who basically looks away as American heads roll...and he does it all by simply saying four proven dangerous words, "I have the authority."

Where this man stands with the first three are in-your-face obvious...where he stands with the last is veiled behind his muslim allegiances. As if this past May's trade of five Taliban fighters for one American traitor wasn't bad enough...if 'We the People's' outrage wasn't yelled loud enough...now hidden amongst all the rightful indignation over his most grievous act of defiance regarding amnesty...another very serious action has gone basically unreported or given mere lip-service to by America's leftist controlled media...as yet another impeachable offense has been committed by the man who thinks the Constitution is NOTHING but kindling to fuel the fires of his liberal islamic socialist agenda.

Choosing to violate the rules regarding captures on land and sea...as per Article I, Section 8, Clause 11of the Constitution..."To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water"...a power that is supposed to go to Congress...this most miserable of presidents has willfully chosen to disregarding both the pleas from Congressional Republicans and the outrage and outcries of the American people to stop any further trades or releases of GITMO prisoners from taking place. With the anger of his 'Five for One' trade still fresh in our minds, the truth is that Obama still refuses to listen to America's collective voice, and has again released another five of the worst of the worst...this time four al-Qaeda fighters from Yemen and one from Tunisia...including a senior operative who facilitated travel to Afghanistan for Arab extremists. And he did this knowing full well that the five released this past May had joined with and are fighting alongside ISIS, making this newest release a clear and flagrant danger to U.S. interests both abroad and at home.

Justifying...in his own mind...this release on an administration task force's determination...a determination made way back in 2009...that these newest five...captured in 2002...were just like the previous five...as in low-level prisoners that NO longer posed a threat to anyone (yeah right)...then why did he wait five long years to release them...something to think about now isn't it.

Sending three of the four Yemini nationals...Abdel Ghaib Ahmad Hakim, Salah Mohammed Salih Al-Dhabi and Abdul Khaled Al-Baydani to the country of Georgia, and sending Yemini Husayn Salim Muhammad Al-Mutari Yafai along with Tunisian Hashim Bin Ali Bin Amor Sliti to Slovakia for 'resettlement'...we just know that it's only a matter of time before they too are fighting alongside ISIS...just like the previous five. In fact, in April 2008, this same task force determined that Yafai was at high risk for returning to his past terrorist activities and recommended that he continue to be detained, but suddenly one year later he's deemed NO longer a threat and five years later released. Quite odd I would say.

And guess what...there are still approximately 74 additional prisoners who also have been cleared by the same task force and are awaiting so-called 'resettlement.' In fact, 36 of those have been designated for detention without charge...meaning they get to walk scott-free. And 23 of those are soon to face prosecution with 10 slated for upcoming trial by a military commission with a few already having been tried, convicted, or sentenced...all the cream of the terrorist crop...sarcastically said.

So in addition to his child-like temper tantrum with its amnesty payback over his and his party's big Election Day loss, NOT only do we have criminal ILLEGALS made LEGAL with a Constitutionally damning swipe of his pen to worry about, now with this prisoner release Obama has drawn battle lines in the sand with the new Republican controlled Congress that I assure you will get dirty as the threat of these men returning to their terrorist ways is a given...and both Obama and Congress know it.

"What the Obama administration is doing is dangerous and, frankly, reckless. They have chosen many times to put politics above national security. It’s time they stop playing with fire and start doing what’s right. Until we can assure the terrorists stay off the battlefield, they must stay behind bars," said Representative McKeon in a letter he addresses to Defense Secretary and islamic sympathizer Chuck Hagel.

Now putting partisan politics above national security after his campaign vow to close GITMO having been thwarted by a then Republican Congress, dangerous and reckless are words McKeon chose well for this sitting Democratic controlled Congress has allowed prisoners to again be released NO matter that those released, are truly as they say, 'bad men.' 'Bad men' of the likes that according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, 107 of 620 prisoners released from GITMO...as in 17.3 percent...have been confirmed as immediately upon release returning to their terrorist ways with another 77...translating to12.4 percent...being highly suspected of also having immediately returned to their terrorist ways, translating into once brainwashed into the ways of jihad that brainwashing will be hard if NOT impossible to undo.

And if that wasn't serious enough, how's this for total ludicrousness...now we have a 13th prisoner being released from GITMO this year alone... released to return home to Saudi Arabia and comes within days of the release of the newest five, proving that Barack HUSSEIN Obama does NOT care about Congress' or the public outcry over these actions. Releasing just this past Friday, 12-year prisoner, Muhammad al-Zahrani, simply because the Obama administration said they needed to keep GITMO at 142 prisoners...detainees as they call them...tops, further proves the laize-faire attitude towards the outcry of the American public against the policies of the man who would be king.

And there's more...according to the Pentagon al-Zahrani will supposedly be part of a program to rehabilitate 'militants.' Rehabilitate 'militants'...NO...Obama needs call them what they are...islamic terrorists...and rehabilitation happening is slim to none as you cannot rehabilitate those brainwashed and programmed to kill us all...to kill us all in the name of islam...to kill us all in the name of allah.

And the cherry atop this traitorous cake is that Obama has said that more prisoners will soon be released in the upcoming weeks as part of his renewed effort to close GITMO. Close GITMO and send terrorists back into the populace to continue their terrorist ways just like he's now sending ILLEGAL criminals directly into the American populace with the swipe of his pen to do God only know what. And this sitting Congress is as guilty as Obama for they do NOTHING to stop a man wheeling out of control who sides with the enemy NOT even bothering to hide his actions in plain sight.
