Despite his many lies and broken promises, President Obama is unfortunately keeping one promise he made on the eve of the 2008 election: to radically transform America. But the American Freedom Law Center is fighting back!

ObamaCare: America Held Hostage
UpChuck Schumer contends that Republicans are holding the American people hostage with their threats to de-fund ObamaCare, except that it is ObamaCare itself that has taken the country hostage. This legislative train wreck did not receive a single Republican vote when it was “passed” by the Democrat dominated congress during Obama’s first term in office. ObamaCare is not even fully deployed and it is destroying jobs by the thousands, inflating the cost of healthcare insurance and the cost of medical procedures. This disaster royal was the invention of the Progressive Left (Socialist Democrats) and yet it is, according to Democrats, ALL the fault of Republicans!
However, conservatives can’t seem to convince the ruling class Republican leadership, boneless Johnny Boehner, to bring the de-funding of ObamaCare to a vote on the floor of the House! This is causing a level of frustration that, in addition to all of Obama’s other “phony scandals,” is wearing thin on almost every American that is paying attention.

Boehner is in charge of the purse strings—just pull the plug on this economic calamity NOW!
From the Heritage Foundation’s Morning Bell:
One of the disillusioning facts about Washington is that Congress can vote on something and that vote won’t mean a thing.
It would seem that a congressional vote should be a meaningful occasion, with Members weighing the costs and benefits of voting for the particular measure at hand. Unfortunately, political gamesmanship often leads them to create voting opportunities that have no real impact, but will allow them to tell constituents, “I voted for this” or “I voted against that.”
The House of Representatives was heading in that direction—considering a proposal that purported to defund Obamacare but wouldn’t actually achieve that goal. This is what voters have come to expect from Capitol Hill and why Congress has such low standing with the American people.
Heritage President Jim DeMint called for an end to these “pretend votes” and “gimmicks.”
We don’t need empty show votes to pull the wool over the American people’s eyes; we need our elected representatives to fight for the American people.
Thankfully, there are other alternatives to defund Obamacare and fund the government, including a proposal introduced yesterday by Representative Tom Graves (R-GA) and 42 of his colleagues. This approach will force lawmakers to have a real debate and make the tough choices when they vote—so that their votes will mean something.
Time is of the essence to defund Obamacare. We’re just 17 days out from Obamacare’s insurance exchanges opening and the overhaul of our health care system taking root.
If you needed proof that Obamacare isn’t working, look no further than President Obama himself. As The Washington Times reported this week:
President Obama has already signed 14 laws that amend, rescind or otherwise change parts of his health care law, and he’s taken five independent steps to delay the Affordable Care Act on his own.
Public support for Obamacare has dropped below 40 percent. It’s unfair, unworkable, and unaffordable. You could lose your current health coverage, see your hours cut at work, and end up with bureaucrats coming between you and your doctor.
Congress should take its responsibility seriously and defund Obamacare now.
De-Funding Disaster
Opinion by AAABTonto:
ObamaCare is a complete and utter disaster. This bill was supposed to nurture the economy, provide health care options and opportunities for the uninsured, decrease the costs of medical insurance and medical practice; it has achieved none of those goals. It is doing the exact opposite—it is slaughtering jobs.

ObamaCare was forced on the American people by the Democrat ruled Congress—passed without a single Republican vote. Obama repeatedly touted its constitutionality claiming it was not a tax and then it went to the Supreme Court where ONE justice, John Roberts, ruled that ObamaCare WAS constitutional BECAUSE it WAS A TAX !
Now, in the same way that ONE justice has decided for an entire nation against their will, we have ONE Speaker, the great and boneless John Boehner, who is going to perpetuate ObamaCare’s destructive forces because he doesn’t want to take the fictitious blame for “shutting down the government.” Boehner has the power to de-fund it without de-funding our precious governmental bureaucratic leviathan, but he has sold out to some more influential force and is willing to betray the will of the people just as Justice Roberts did.
This is where it becomes difficult to write without splattering my computer screen with spittle and profanities. Obama’s unpopularity and obvious incompetence should be fueling the Republican opposition, but the ruling class elites seem determined to subvert the will of the people and enforce policies which we have witnessed fail in Europe—Obama’s “great role model.”
Then there is the enforcement of ObamaCare by the generous and loving IRS, who would NEVER misuse their authority to persecute anyone for their political leanings. I feel so safe at the mercy of our ruling class elitists; don’t you?

New Revelations in the IRS Scandal
Opinion by AAABTonto:
The President has tried discredit the myriad of surrounding scandals as “phony” and implied that they are an intentional distraction form his ingenious efforts to help the middle class and reinvigorate America’s economy. There are many problems with the President’s assertions. These scandals are not phony. Wrong doing has been admitted by the IRS, obvious outright lies have been told by the Obama administration and an impotent, moderate GOP isn’t cunning enough to devise a single “phony” distraction—they’re too busy trying to find a way to get the media to say something nice about them.
During congressional hearings the IRS admitted targeting conservative, Christian and Right to Life organizations seeking 501C3 status. Yet, Jack Lew concludes that he can see “no evidence” that the IRS was politically motivated.
Jack Lew on IRS Scandal
Jack Lew is hack and a liar. How can he make such a claim when the IRS officials have testified that they indeed targeted said conservative groups? The Obama administration has, since their reelection, pushed the limits of the law and circumvention of the Constitution with Executive orders and bureaucratic rule making. We know for a fact that IRS officials shared information about conservative groups with other agencies, using their databanks to cherry pick information for other federal officials to bring legal action against conservatives. Emails between Lois Lerner, the Democrat at the center of the IRS probe, and a lawyer at the Federal Elections Commission, implicate Lerner and the lawyer in conspiring to try to discredit a conservative group in a case before the commission.
Did IRS Help Other Agencies Target Conservatives?
Lois Lerner Directly Involved in IRS Targeting, Letters Show
From the article:
Lerner, the director of the IRS exempt organizations office in Washington, D.C., signed cover letters to 15 conservative organizations currently represented by the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) between in March and April of 2012. The letters, such as this one sent to the Ohio Liberty Council on March 16, 2012, informed the groups applying for tax-exempt status that the IRS was “unable to make a final determination on your exempt status without additional information,” and included a list of detailed questions of the kind that a Treasury inspector general’s audit found to be inappropriate. Some of the groups to which Lerner sent letters are still awaiting approval.
Lerner has denied involvement in the targeting, which she has blamed on a few “front-line people” in the agency’s Cincinnati field office. “I have not done anything wrong,” she told members of the House oversight committee on Wednesday. However, she then refused to answer any questions, citing protection under the Fifth Amendment. She has since been placed on (paid) administrative leave, and the committee may call her to testify again.
“One thing is clear: this correspondence shows [Lerner’s] direct involvement in the scheme,” wrote Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the ACLJ. “Further, sending a letter from the top person in the IRS Exempt Organization division to a small Tea Party group also underscores the intimidation used in this targeting ploy.”
The letters coincide with former IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman’s March 2012 testimony before Congress, in which he said there was “absolutely no targeting” of conservative groups at the agency. Months later, an internal IRS investigation concluded that the agency had engaged in such targeting. Obama-administration officials have insisted the targeting stopped in May 2012, although a number of ACLJ clients have received similar requests for information from the IRS within the past year, according to chief counsel Jay Sekulow.
Of course, the Democrats never own up to responsibility … instead, they blame the victims or George Bush–whichever is more convenient:

However, the Republican Party has its own chip on its shoulder concerning the Tea Party and they are trying to make sure that conservatives don’t spoil their beltway buffet. House Speaker John Boehner has refused to appoint a special prosecutor claiming that it isn’t possible and would be ineffective. But we had one in Watergate and Iran Contra and White Water. You have to wonder if Boehner isn’t batting for the other team; Darrell Issa can’t investigate everything by himself and we need individuals with prosecutorial experience for each scandal!

Next, the Obama thugs came for Stanley Kurtz
The administration has NO respect for the congress, the law or the good people of this country. Obama is a despot; a dictatorial thug with a Marxian agenda that is utterly un-American! It isn’t bigotry to hold this opinion, it isn’t selfish to maintain self-interest, it isn’t criminal to defend oneself and isn’t “out of line” to question the motives of a man we have entrusted to uphold and defend the Constitution who is doing everything he can to circumvent the law and bypass same!
Obama’s “fundamental transformation” is a deliberate assault on Liberty!
