Ellmers to Sebelius: Why Must Men Buy Maternity Coverage Under Obamacare

10 Signs That Obamacare Is Going To Wreck The U.S. Economy
It is hard to find the words to
adequately describe how much of a disaster Obamacare is turning out to
be. The debut of Healthcare.gov has been probably the worst launch of a
major website in history, millions of Americans are having their current health
insurance policies canceled, millions of others are seeing the size of their
health insurance premiums absolutely explode, and this new law is going to
result in massive numbers of jobs being lost. It is almost as if
Obamacare was specifically designed to wreck the U.S. U.S. U.S.
Of course we were assured that it wouldn't turn out this way. We
were promised over and over that we were going to pay less for health care, get
better coverage, and be able to keep our current health plans if we were
pleased with them. The following is what Obama said at a rally in 2009...
"First of all, if you’ve got health insurance, you like your
doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan.
Nobody is talking about taking that away from you."
Oh really?
That was such a dramatic lie that even NBC News is turning on him.
They discovered that Obama has known for three years that most people that rely
on individual health insurance policies would not be able to keep them...

Hillary Clinton is careful to avoid discussion

Nullification and Individual Sovereignty
by Dr. Dan Eichenbaum, October 28, 2013
Eight friends, going out to dinner, are
arguing about restaurant choice. Each has their own favorite cuisine and
chef. Decision time arrives, and one of the eight, let’s name him
Alpha-1, unilaterally selects the restaurant and time. The other seven,
with little further discussion, acquiesce. Alpha-1 is “Sovereign”.
He exerted his ultimate authority to make a decision that was obeyed by
the others.
Individual sovereignty is the essence of
personal freedom. A colonist is, by definition, not sovereign, as he owes
allegiance and obedience to whichever authority “owns” his colony. Having
successfully rebelled against the King of England, a solitary sovereign, our
Constitution’s framers inverted the pyramid of power by investing each
individual, not any government entity, with definitive sovereign authority.
Any power given to the state and federal governments was considered to be
strictly limited and definitely “on loan” from that sovereign individual.
Our Constitution codifies
this hierarchy of authority. Each state is a sovereign entity made up of
sovereign individuals. Our nation is a federation of sovereign states,
created by the Constitution, which is a compact ratified by those individual
sovereign states. The federal government, as the creation of that compact, is most
definitely not an equal partner. If one reads the proceedings of the
ratifying conventions of the states, it is clear that the intent was to
severely limit the powers of the federal government to those specifically
listed in Article I, Section 8. The individual states, not the Supreme
Court, had the authority to determine if the federal government exceeded its
authority, and, as sovereign entities, could remedy the usurpation of power by
nullification, interposition, or even by secession.

Moral Monday & McClatchy: Preachers in Court. (What’s this about F.I.S.T?)
The Daily Haymaker, October

For
months, we’ve been subjected to stories from our state’s dwindling,
money-bleeding mainstream media fawning over Big Bill Barber’s Traveling Circus

CCTA Pot Luck Dinner and Movie Night--November 1st!
Coastal Carolina Taxpayers Association (CCTA)
invite you to attend a
POT LUCK DINNER AND MOVIE NIGHT
6:00 pm, November 1, 2013
Highland Park Christian Church, 905 Carolina Ave., New Bern, NC.
Bring your favorite covered dish, and join us for an evening of fellowship and fun. After dinner we will watch the movie
"Emancipation Revelation Revolution"
This is an award-winning documentary about the history of the civil rights movement in America, the role that both major political parties have played in it, and the voting habits of Blacks in America today.
As the nation is now divided -- not along racial lines -- but along issues of morality and values, racial discrimination has been replaced by philosophical discrimination.
Many conservative blacks are now choosing to leave the liberal plantation and follow their own destinies. But What happens to them when they leave?
Why aren't Americans taught about the rich history of blacks in America, beyond the misperception of victimization?
Martin Luther King's dream has been realized -- but not the way he imagined. Blacks in America are being judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin, but the judgment is harsh if they embrace conservative philosophies.
Bring your family and friends!

A Nullification History Lesson for Jesse Jackson
The Tenth Amendment
Center
Saul Alinsky,
the king of community organizers, once wrote in his book Rules for Radicals that one
should “pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
There’s
little in American politics that is more polarizing than race, and there’s few
better at this kind of fear-mongering than Jesse Jackson.
In
his recent columns, Jesse has aggressively pushed the race-card, hoping to
convince the fearful that attempts to block Obamacare funding in Congress are
somehow born of the same mentality held by those who wanted to preserve the
institution of slavery in the 19th century.
Seriously.
You can’t make this stuff up.
AN AMATEUR
Jesse
might be a professional polarizer, but he’s an amateur historian, at
best. That’s really an understatement. Seriously, the guy’s a joke
when it comes to facts.
In
pontificating about Obamacare, race, and slavery, Jesse tried to give a history
lesson, and failed. Miserably.
Here’s
a bit of what he had to say:
Silencing dissent by SWATing messengers of truth
“Fasten your seatbacks and tray
tables in their full upright and locked position. We’ll be on the ground
shortly.” That is the final warning aboard the aircraft known as America

passengers, who have been immersed in their personal electronic devices,
sleeping or watching the airline version of the corporate media, the mouthpieces
for their fascist facilitators.

John Hawkins: 5 Political Fallacies Too Many Americans Embrace
1) The more democracy we have, the better. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "Democracy
is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch." This
is why our Founding Fathers made this country a republic, not a democracy. They
believed that the people should have their say, but also that certain
underlying rules should remain in place that should take precedence over the
will of a simple majority. Ultimately, that's the only way that the wolves and
the lambs can happily co-exist over the long haul.
Unfortunately, we've moved so far away from the plain reading of the
Constitution that we could fairly be called a post-constitutional society and
that has a lot to do with why our government functions so poorly, why politics
has become so contentious, and why our nation is slipping into decline. A
nation where the law has more to do with the whims of the people in power than
constitutional principles is a nation that will become increasingly embittered
and unstable over time.
2) When it comes to politicians, morals don't
matter. It's no
coincidence that most Americans are perpetually disappointed in the honesty of
our politicians when they simultaneously believe that the moral failings of
politicians have little bearing on their fitness for office. If we put
adulterers, degenerates, and crooks in office, they're going to lie to us. Why
would anyone expect anything else?
Your
Tax Dollars Will Fund Abortions and Planned Parenthood Under Obamacare, Here’s
How
On a Friday night back in December 2009, Senate Majority Leader Reid was in tense negotiations with then-Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, as Reid desperately needed Nelson’s vote to secure Senate passage of ObamaCare. Finally, Nelson had what Politico described as a “breakthrough” that lead to a deal, as Politico reported a few days later. Part of the deal, Politico wrote, was that “people who receive federal subsidies would need to write two separate checks as a way to ensure that none of the federal dollars went toward the abortion premium.”

Six days later, Senator Nelson took to the Senate floor to
explain in detail the deal he had negotiated. With respect to the two check
requirement, Senator Nelson said: “In the Senate bill, if you are receiving
Federal assistance to buy insurance, and if that plan has any abortion
coverage, the insurance company must bill you separately, and you must pay
separately from your own personal funds, perhaps a credit card transaction,
your separate personal check, or automatic withdrawal from your bank account–
for that abortion coverage.
Are
You Subsidizing Abortion Coverage Under Obamacare?
Starting this month, uninsured Americans have the option to purchase health insurance through their state exchanges. What you may not know is that many of the plans being offered include elective abortion coverage!
Starting this month, uninsured Americans have the option to purchase health insurance through their state exchanges. What you may not know is that many of the plans being offered include elective abortion coverage!
Twenty-three states have exercised their right under Obamacare
to exclude abortion coverage, but for the remaining twenty-seven, that decision
has been left to insurance companies. If you are receiving this alert, it is
because you live in one of the states that allow elective abortion on their
state exchange.
Coal advocates to storm Capitol Hill - CowboyByte
Coal executives and miners will storm the Capitol next week to put pressure on Congress and the White House over regulatory policies that they say are killing jobs. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and 30 members of Congress will participate Tuesday in the Count on Coal coalition’s rally.
McConnell has vowed to make what the GOP is calling the administration’s “war on coal” a main issue in his 2014 reelection campaign.
After the Environmental Protection Agency announced a listening tour to gather feedback on new regulations for power plants, McConnell cried foul, claiming the tour did not include any stops in coal-reliant states.

Craven GOP -Thom Tillis spat ends in Craven chairman’s resignation
The Daily Haymaker
There has been quite a bit of internal drama with Craven County’s Republicans during the last year. They've voted to censure state House speaker and US Senate candidate Thom Tillis for his efforts to meddle in area GOP primaries. Local party chairman Paul Hill — aided by state GOP officials — raised objections about this move. Local party leaders ordered that a letter of censure be sent to Tillis and the state party. Censure supporters on the ground in Craven County suggest that Hill balked at signing and mailing off the letter – a direct conflict with the instructions by the executive committee.
The perceived failure to comply with the censure vote — as well as other unrelated concerns about local party fundraising and operations management — led to some local party leaders bringing charges against Hill and moving for his removal from office.
Chairman Hill was allowed a hearing and afforded an opportunity to defend himself. But this week, Hill chose to resign his post as chairman of the Craven County GOP. By acclamation, longtime local activist Carl Mischka was voted in by the executive committee as Hill’s replacement.
A Craven GOP leader — who happens to be a friend of this site — tells me everyone is breathing a sigh of relief now that this is over:

A far right faction of Craven County Republican Party, many of whom say they are not in the “tea party,” now has the local GOP at least sipping tea.
Actions at a Thursday night executive party meeting at which Carl Mishka was elected chairman, concluded with a plea for unity but several longtime strong county GOP leaders say they see real division that probably doesn't have a quick fix.
At the meeting, Paul Hill resigned as chairman in letter read in his absence by GOP Vice Chairman Scott Dacey, who also serves as chairman of Craven County Board of Commissioners.
Immediately, executive committee precinct committee chairman Hal James, whose precinct organizational efforts filled all but a handful of executive committee seats with “tea party” conservatives, offered a single motion to accept the resignation and fill the vacant post with Mishka, a six-year New Bern Republican from Orange County, Calif.

NC Renegade: Respect for the American Flag
I attended a conference on Saturday
where I was offended by two points. Most people reading this article will
consider these points to be trivial. I do not.
1. A Tea Party leader wore a shirt
that was the flag of the United
States
2. The organizers of the event wanted
to pledge allegiance to the flag but had forgotten to bring one. The solution
was to pledge allegiance to the shirt flag.
I understand that most people in our
country do not respect our flag. Like Bonhoeffer’s concept of cheap grace, we
offer a small token of esteem to our flag without acknowledging the sacrifices
it truly represents.
But in my mind, I do not look at the
flag as representing an indivisible nation. I see the principles embodied by
our founding fathers to bring together our disparate states into a compact
under a Constitution. I see the blood and treasure of our sons and daughters
who sacrificed to give us Liberty America
David DeGerolamo
§176. Respect for flag
Read the code:
The Doctrine of Judicial Review
The Constitution did not grant to the Supreme Court the authority to interpret the meaning of the Constitution. The Doctrine of Judicial Review was a power that the court granted to itself in 1801. Chief Justice John Marshall was a political ally of Alexander Hamilton and they both believed in the notion that the Constitution had implied powers.
The Constitution was written as a rule book that the government was
expected to follow. The framers of the Constitution knew that only if the
Constitution was strictly obeyed could it prevent the government from abusing
the rights of the people.
The states delegated to the Constitution a short list of delegated
powers and anything that was not delegated to the central government was
prohibited. Hamilton

ObamaCare Records: Finding “Mentally Disturbed” Gun Owners
There are lots of reasons for Americans to hate ObamaCare.
But gun owners should be especially
concerned about this “Obamanation,” because it will allow the federal
government to use our medical information to keep us from buying guns.
Just ask yourself:
* Was there a death in your family
recently causing you to suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)?
* Do you take anxiety medications?
* Did you ever say: I had thoughts of
suicide when I was dealing with stress at home or work or after my recent
breakup?
* Have you voluntarily checked
yourself into an institution to get counseling?
I
f you answered YES to any of those
questions, and there is any federal nexus, then you might find yourself
disarmed in the near future.

NC Voter Integrity Project
Same-Day Chaos:
Nearly 5,000 NC Voters Still Not Verified Eleven Months Later
October 23, 2013
(Raleigh, NC)-OCT 23, 2013- The Voter
Integrity Project-NC, released a report today suggesting that as many as 4,857
North Carolina voters in the November 2012 election may have abused the
Same-Day Registration law in order to vote illegally and 2,253 of them were in
Mecklenburg County.
“These voters all registered and
voted during the last 19 days before the election,” said Jay DeLancy, Executive
Director of the Voter Integrity Project, “but election offices were never able
to verify the addresses of a significant number. This suggests that they were
never residents of the state, but their votes still counted.”
Until January 2014, NC law (§
163-82.7) requires a “tentative determination” of the voter’s identity within
48 hours, but the follow-on verification is performed by mail and takes longer
to complete.
“Anybody registering and voting
illegally toward the end of the Early Voting period has a pretty good chance of
safely stealing a vote,” said DeLancy. “It all depends on how quickly the
county board can do the mailings.”
Under current North Carolina law, if
the USPS returns as “undeliverable” the verification notice sent by
nonforwardable mail, the county board is required to deny the application.
VIP-NC has trouble with that process, which was mandated under the 1993
National Voter Registration Act.
“Our entire electoral system hinges
on all postal carriers being 100 per cent accurate by not delivering any verification letters
incorrectly,” he said, “and who among us ever received a misdirected piece of
mail?”
To determine the significance of the
problem, VIP-NC obtained a public record showing the complete voter history of
all NC voters and then screened out all except for the voters who registered at
the polls during last November’s one-stop voting period.

#NCSEN: Thom Tillis’ biggest donor? Himself.
State House Speaker Thom Tillis has been tooting his
own horn about his fundraising prowess. ONE MILLION DOLLARS, his campaign web site trumpets. What he downplays is
that about one-quarter of that came out of his own pockets.
His campaign finance documents show that Tillis
loaned his Senate campaign $250,000. Surely, the loan was made to help
ol’ Thom get some PR bang out of the number ONE MILLION. It’s
awfully easy — when you are sitting in a powerful government position –
to shake people down for dollars to fund your political aspirations.
Big fundraising tallies don’t always translate into
election victories. Former Texas Texas Kentucky
