More “pay-to-play” from the Chicago politician named Obama. As we have learned, if you gave Obama campaign cash, you get rewarded with waivers.
Via the Daily Caller:
Labor unions continued to receive the overwhelming majority of waivers from the president’s health care reform law since the Obama administration tightened application rules last summer.
Documents released in a classic Friday afternoon news dump show that labor unions representing 543,812 workers received waivers from President Barack Obama‘s signature legislation since June 17, 2011.
By contrast, private employers with a total of 69,813 employees, many of whom work for small businesses, were granted waivers.
The Department of Health and Human Services revised the rules governing applications for health reform waivers June 17, 2011, amid a steady stream of controversial news reports, including The Daily Caller’s story that nearly 20 percent of last May’s waivers went to businesses in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s district in California.
Consider, for one, how our “King” is, on one hand, gutting the Military and groveling to the Unions, gangs, illegal aliens and rudderless radicals AND his creation/expansion of various, almost, paramilitary bureaucracies (EPA, NLRB, FDA, NTSB, TSA, etc.) on the other. To say nothing of the hideous record of the (so called) Justice Department and his strenuous efforts to destroy our Second Amendment Rights.
And, it has often been stated that His Majesty may, possibly, try to declare a “National Emergency” or such before the next Elections – suspending said Elections. To enforce such a declaration he would need the armed backing of the Military, right? Now consider, the American Soldier who may still be detained in Germany because he refused to follow the orders of what he considered a fraudulent “Commander in Chief”.
Putting all this together: He will need some form of a “Military Presence” to enforce his declaration. But, more, and higher ranking U.S. Military Officers might realize that they owe their Allegiance to the United States of America and it’s Constitution BEFORE any one man or group of men and, thus, NOT obey such a command – and, maybe, even oppose it … with force! SO! He will need a force independent of the established Military to see his will carried out! The list of factions in the first paragraph that he’s currently coddling could be just such a group! One might even expect, in this contingency, an attempt at a 2012 replay of “the Night of the Long Knives”!
The Corruptocrat Dictator continues unabated, unfazed by the dissent and protest of the “little people” (translated means: anyone who does not bundle campaign contributiions for his re-election). He ceases, only temporarily, to initiate new and more egregious violations of our Constitution.by making grossly illegal, unconstitutional recess appointments when Congress doesn’t do exactly as he requires.
Can we really survive the remaining year of the Terrorist-Of-The-Awful/Offa./Oafull Office?
I, for one, am not counting on either the military or law enforcement to stand with the People when TSHTF.
As for the military, I believe the troops will follow the orders of their chain-of-command, and I have little faith that today’s officer corps is remotely similar to those stalwarts we’ve had in the past- Patton, McArthur, Eisenhower, Schwarzkopf, etc. Hard to say what side they will fall on, but I’m not counting on them being on the side of those labeled as “domestic terrorists” by Homeland Security, FBI, or others.
As to the police, they have historically maintained a “we v them” ideology, with the “we” being the police, and the “them” being anyone who is not police. With the unionization and militarization of our law enforcement, the embracing of the entitlement syndrome, I expect the police to continue in the role they are most accustomed to and comfortable in – order maintenance – if you’re viewed by police as someone who is threatening the given order then you will be dealt with accordingly.
I’m counting on myself and my family to maintain our liberty, freedom, property and our Constitutional rights. There won’t be any cavalry riding to the rescue in reel 2 this time…..
