Obama Gives Presidential Medal of Freedom to Abortion Activist Gloria Steinem
President Barack Obama has named sixteen recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the nation’s highest civilian honor. Abortion activist Gloria Steinem will be one of the recipients.
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is “presented to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” and Obama apparently believes dedicating one’s life to promoting abortion is a part of that list. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/09/obama-gives-presidential-medal-of-freedom-to-abortion-activist-gloria-steinem/
Oregon Health Care Board Denies Chemotherapy, Will Push Rationing Under Obamacare
Oregon rations healthcare to Medicaid recipients. Terminal cancer patients are denied chemotherapy to extend life–and now the Oregon rationing board wants to go deeper into the weeds.
From Hope Landsem’s Wall Street Journal blog: Liberal states often preview health-care central planning before the same regulations go national, which ought to make an Oregon cost-control commission especially scary. On Thursday a state board could change Oregon’s Medicaid program to deny costly care to poor patients who need it most. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/08/09/oregon-health-care-board-denies-chemotherapy-will-push-rationing-under-obamacare/

GET OBAMA OUT! HIS LIES ABOUT OBAMACARE ARE JUST TOO MUCH TO STOMACH!

Obama's Newest Lie About Obamacare
by Lee S Gliddon Jr

On Friday, as Obama addressed America respecting Obamacare he said, "Republicans are trying their best to mend healthcare for 30 million people."

How audacious can he be?

If you only contemplate the numbers of American citizens that stand to lose their healthcare IF Obamacare does not get repealed you realize that a staggering 100,000 million stand to lose their existing healthcare coverages.

Look at it this way, if employers stop paying the health insurance premiums by reducing the number of full time employees then you easily realize 100,000 million people must get insurance for themselves! That many people is made up of the workers, spouses of those workers, and their dependent children.

TAKE HEED
 

A major event is set to occur worldwide in August 2013 that will affect everything on the planet. I am not
an alarmist but I am alarmed. An expert will tell about it , evidence it will occur and how you can take
immediate steps to save your family and friends. Also, why the powers that be have been preparing for
20 years for their own survival but not yours. Earth's twin sun and it's seven planets
are approaching our solar system.


Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;
Call unto me, and I will answer thee,
and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Another thing to consider is the loss of MEDICARE cancer treatments for the elderly as they attain the age of 76. At age 72, no more dialysis.  Premiums are automatically deducted from Social Security Benefits, deductibles rise and coverage decreases! Just when it is needed Obamacare is funded and strips MEDICARE to fund a useless piece of legislation; Obamacare.

All this can be laid at the feet of one person! Barack H Obama. It is he who is preventing repeal of this 'train wreck' as his vanity will not allow Democrat Senators to vote their conscience instead of their Party Line!

It is time to send this liar packing and take back sanity in Legislation!

Defunding Obamacare
Recognizing that his law is a complete failure, Obama recently lifted (albeit, temporarily) Obamacare’s burden off of business. The President, however, has done absolutely nothing to lessen the Healthcare Law’s burden on average Americans, leaving the “individual mandate” intact. Senator Mike Lee has a simple solution: “Obamacare won’t work. It is unaffordable and unfair. If [Obama] won’t follow it, we shouldn’t fund it.”

A Military Coup Will Remove Obama

Dave Hodges * The Common Sense Show

President Obama’s presidency has a definitive shelf life. His backpedaling in the Middle East is of major concern to the military establishment but also to special interest groups such as the Carlyle Group. Obama is threatening to let Iraq and Afghanistan follow in the footsteps of Vietnam. Further, Obama’s refusal to attack Syria and Iran threatens the viability of the Petrodollar. This two part series will examine the forces which are lining up against this President and how five simultaneous political scandals are being held over his head to gain compliance from several powerful special interest groups.

The Aftermath of Benghazi

Obama’s presidency may not survive until 2016. He has the most dramatic set of political scandals in the history of the Oval Office. The only question remaining for this president is will he leave office as a result of the scandals or the result of a direct military coup? Obama has already survived one military coup attempt, but it is difficult to believe that there aren’t more military coups waiting in the wings for the right moment to strike.

Cities: Chicago appears to be following Detroit's lead to financial disaster, perhaps the latest victim of decades of one-party rule by Democrats eager to redistribute wealth while driving real wealth creators out of cities.
Moody's Investors Service downgraded the Windy City's credit rating by three notches last week, partly the result of $19 billion in unfunded pension debt, leaving Chicago's lower than 90% of Moody's public finance ratings.
Among the nation's five largest cities, Chicago has put aside the smallest portion of its looming pension obligations, according to a study issued this year by the Pew Charitable Trusts.

Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more surveillance or undercover string operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee.

My Brother, My Enemy
By Chuck Baldwin

This column is archived here.
Brothers are supposed to be allies; they are supposed to be friends. This is true for spiritual brothers as well as physical brothers. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way. Sometimes, brothers become enemies. Think about it: in our War for Independence, brother fought against brother. How many Christians sided with the British Crown and raised voice and bayonet against their brothers in Christ who stood for American liberty and independence? More than we can possibly count. How many Christians were among the British troops that participated in the Boston Massacre? How many Christians were among the British troops that participated in the raid on Lexington and Concord? How many Christians were among the British troops that participated in the assault against the colonists (many of whom were Christians) on Bunker Hill?

TAKE BACK WHAT IS OURS- AMERICA!!!

The Americans
-We need a new vision for America-
By Paul E. Vallely, M/Gen., US Army (Ret.) and,

A
mericans, If you care about The Constitution, The Republic, Your Safety, National Security, Freedom’s and your children’s future please read about Problem Solving for the many grave crises “We The People” are facing in America right now; today. Then stop and think about what can be accomplished if everyone – “We The People” – band together peacefully and work the solution to preserve this once greatest nation on planet Earth. Everyone needs to take action – get involved –stand up - vote – to make the solution happen, especially for our children’s safety and future prosperity.
A
mericans, times have changed and if America and the Constitution are to be preserved, doing so must become every citizen’s first thoughts, actions and responsibility. As such a new “America First” mindset and political thrust will be required from each American, separate yet combined; therefore a few problem-solvers from “STAND UP AMERICA US” have decided it will take a new political movement with “America First” mindsets.
Please email thoughts, ideas, and comments to:
survey@standupamericaus.org
We must reverse the course of destruction. The destructive activities affecting our economy, the job killing initiatives, middle class disintegration, National Security and family safety/integrity lapses, along with gun control and amnesty attempts from self-serving, greedy, failed leadership – “destructions” – separately yet combined, now gravely facing “We The (non-elected and non-appointed) People” of America. A probable solution can be a new and dynamic movement and we want to know if you agree. Therefore we propose some or all of the following and request your input in our survey.
