Tyranny – you WILL save for retirement and yet again, continue the incremental transformation of employers into being part of Government

Once again, a mandate that will cost you whether you like it or not, but Obama has pre-determined “how much you need”.  “From Obama’s 2014 indentured servitude and Budget (here, page 24, emphasis mine) we see the “benevolent hand” of Tyranny Our Betters Our Rulers our Government  with the socialist glove forcing paternalistic nudging yet another behavior simply because they do not approve of current sovereign citizen behavior:

Encourage Retirement Savings with Automatic Individual Retirement Accounts and Support for Small Employers Who Offer Retirement Plans.

About half of American workers have no workplace retirement plan. Yet fewer than 1 out of 10 workers who are eligible to make tax-favored contributions to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) actually do so, while nearly 9 out of 10 workers automatically enrolled in a 401(k) plan continue to make contributions. The Budget would automatically enroll workers without employer-based retirement plans in IRAs through payroll deposit contributions at their workplace. The contributions would be voluntary—employees would be free to opt out—and matched by the Saver’s Tax Credit for eligible families. Small employers would be eligible for tax credits to defray the administrative costs of setting up these savings plans. The Budget would also double the existing tax credit for small employers that start up new qualifying employer plans.

So, not only must the working contribute to Social Security, we all will be forced contribute even more to our own retirement.

Blogline of the Day – Obama and the TEA Party

“Ironically, the only populist mass movement on domestic-policy issues Obama can claim credit for creating is the Tea Party, which I think we can all agree isn’t what he had in mind.” Indeed – Obama has this as part of his Legacy.  Enjoy! (H/T:  The Corner)

Yeah, food fight on the other side – and THEY have MONEY!

It was only a matter of time!  The Dems, especially here in NH, have been calling we who hew to the US and NH Constitutions (and less, the R party platform) “extremists”

Sidenote: Again, when did complying with, and using them as a perfectly good standard of quality become extremist?  Oh yeah, when the Dems (and Establishment Repubs) didn’t want you to think “is this Constitutional and the Proper Role of Government?”

for quite some time.  They also have “complained” about the lack of bipartisanship from Republicans, as we “extremists” primary out “the moderates” from working with those self-same Democrats (er, WHERE does that Overton Window now sit – closer to ideals of socialism or to the ideals the Founding Fathers?).  But what they don’t want to talk about is that they’ve been doing the same.  Ask yourself – how many “Blue Dog” Dems are still left on the national stage (er, that would be moderates on the Democrat side)?  Well guess what the Smarmy Side is about to do:

The nonprofit advocacy group backing President Obama’s second-term agenda plans to mobilize constituents against the U.S. senators who on Wednesday helped defeat a measure to expand background checks – including four members of the president’s own party.

“Shameful” there, ‘Bam? Obama just got Alinsky’d on gun control and is he mad!

What’s good for the gander should be good for the goose – only this time, it seems that the goose has had its feathers all in a dither, as the US Senate voted against the gun control bill, the Manchin/Toomey bill, went down 54-46.  Diane Feinstein’s new and expanded ban on so-called “assault weapons” (hey, I got an “assault fork” too!) and high standard-capacity magazines also was a blank at an even worse 40-60.  And Our Imperial King Obama is royally ticked off:

“All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington,” Obama said, accusing the gun lobby of lying about the bill.

Aw, lying?  Really?  Hmm, this bring back any memories about truthtelling, oh LightBringer?

The Republicans plan, Obama says, boils down to this: ‘Dirtier air, dirtier water, less people with health insurance.’

I would consider this a lie as well; fear-mongering by him.  After all, Saul Alinsky dedicated his Rules for Radicals to the Father of Lies, Lucifer, and Obama is nothing if not a disciple of Alinsky.  But what is permissible to the King can hardly be extended to the serfs, can it?

Obomba

I don’t know.  As things progress, it just seems like we might be spelling it that way moving Forward. President Barack Obomba.

Wait a sec, I thought President Blameless was the Commander-in-Chief??

From RedState:

Ever notice that this administration is only lightning-fast when it comes to shifting blame when things don’t work out perfectly? They practically left a vapor trail in their zeal to anonymously accuse the US military of being responsible for our tense situation with North Korea:

So, it’s the Navy’s fault that the U.S.-North Korea spat has gone so far?

That’s the apparent message from senior administration officials who, according to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, said that they had long planned to send B-52s, B-2 stealth bombers, and F-22 fighters to the Korean Peninsula as part of preplanned wargames with South Korea, but that they had not planned the recent deployment of Navy destroyers.

Last weekend, the U.S. ordered two guided-missile destroyers to the Western Pacific — the U.S.S. John S. McCain and the U.S.S. Decatur — to provide additional defense against North Korean ballistic missiles.

Command takes responsibility, Mr. Obama.

 Indeed.  Especially when one is Commander-in-Chief instead of Blameless-In-All-Things.  Really, other than the Drone killings, and indicating he was fine with the Affordable Care Act being called Obamacare, what positive things has he done?  Yes, I know – OBL.  However, that was a continuation of a program that preceded him – any President would have given that order.  Yes, as it turns out (I bookmarked this a couple of days ago) the Navy used its protocol to send two additional destroyers without getting Presidential approval – it wasn’t needed.  In fact, new DoD Sec. Hagel didn’t even have to approve it.  Yet, Obama choose to hide behind (not lead from behind) and…

Apologies, apologies – both show the rot in our culture…and both involve Obama

Obama Apologizes to California AG for Complimenting Her Appearance

“President Obama has apologized to California attorney general Kamala Harris for calling her the nation’s “best looking” attorney general at a California fundraiser yesterday, according to White House press secretary Jay Carney.

“He called her to apologize for the distraction created by his comments,” said Carney. “He did not want in any way to diminish the attorney general’s professional accomplishments or her capabilities.” He added that the president “fully recognizes the challenges women continue to face in the workplace and that they should not be judged based on appearance.”

…His remarks caused a stir among feminists and others upset that the president commented on Harris’s appearance.”

Chivalry: Coat Over Puddle For LadyWe were not a family of means growing up but my brother and I were taught and expected to know our manners and know how to behave both in public and in private so as not to embarrass either ourselves or worse, Mom. Yes, I grew up in what I consider now to be a much more chivalrous time when it wasn’t out of the ordinary to hold a door open for a lady, regardless of age, to seat a lady first before taking my seat at dinner, to hold the use of cruder words / jokes for times “with the boys”, to show manners, and complementing the ladies was an ordinary occurrence (or, expected at some types of events).  While just being polite was a large part of it, it was NOT as many feminists seem to believe…

Jake Tapper – how many OTHER MSMers are willing to call Obama and Bloomie idiots?

Since Aurora and Sandy Hook, we who like to shoot and support the Right that the Second Amendment enshrines have just about had it in listening to all kinds of folks who believe that they know best for society with respect to “gun violence”.

Sidenote: and we all know that this phrase is a made up / focus group created phrase that means nothing special; violence is violence, regardless if a “violence tool” is used or not (are hands and feet considered to be a “violence tool” too?)

They tell us “you don’t need this”, “I don’t know anyone that…”, “it is for the common good”, “we have to consider the safety and security” and the one phrase they believe renders them harmless against all logical arguments: “this is for the children” (er, we are supposed to shut up at that point, otherwise we are selfish, cold hearted, and hate everyone else). Progressives are oft to say “Hey, trust Government – the best and brightest work here!”.  In fact, one of their basic theorems of governance is that those in Government DO know better than you in how to order and run your life and those of your family, and Civil Society as a whole.  Why?  Because they TRULY believe they are smarter than those of us they wish to rule.

And then, as Grokster Rick and Susan point out here and here, they do the one thing that renders them weaponless: they open their mouths and speak.

Obama’s Army….Only Following Executive Orders

Is Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force” being staged and supplied under our very noses? “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” – BHO, Colorado, … Read more

Statement of the day…

…from a recent online comment made to the Peoria Journal Star: A pen in the hand of this president is far more dangerous than a gun in the hands of 200 million law-abiding citizens.   —Camille Sanchez You said it, Camille! Bless you!

Obama Admin Releases $500 Million for the FAA…Nope, Wait!

Sorry.  That should read….Obama Admin Releases 500 Million dollars for the FAA PA.  Not Pennsylvania, the Palestinian Authority.  Ben Shapiro reports that the Obamadministration has agreed to allow half a billion dollars to flow into the hands of Mahmoud Hamas Abbas. So screw you air traffic controllers, park rangers, and border agents everywhere.  You Head-Start kids … Read more

Oh WHY did we think that this would be part of those FAA tower closures?

I learned to fly out of the Lawrence Airport in MA and part of the training was to fly in and out of smaller airports.  I learned the radio frequencies to use to announce my entry into the landing / takeoff patter and to toggle the runway lights.  Standard fare as most of the airports in the US are considered “general aviation” fields – small biz jets and prop planes – not having a Tower talk you in was no big deal.  So upon hearing that the FAA was going to close some of these towers of the mid size fields was not a big deal – pilots are trained to deal with this.  But like much of Obama’s response to his own sequester plan (for it was the White House that came up with it), instead of a corporate handling of a 2.4% lowered budget (where true non-essentials are cut out), his Administration has been intent on causing the taxpayers and citizens as much grief as possible (even as his Administration just caused all of us to live 2.4% less due to raising out taxes).  So closing FAA towers is part of that – but WHY these particular 149 Towers?  From Hot Air:

The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday told 149 regional airports across the country it would begin closing their air traffic control towers in April, but said it would spare another 40 towers that had been on the chopping block.

As the post says, this is all about less than 2/3ds of a $Billion out of budget of $58 Billion – small change at the 50,000 foot level.  But take out paper pushers first?  But what is so special about those 40?  Oh, sure:

Blog Headline of the Day – thank you, President Obama

Obama and Biden Bitterly Clinging to Assault Weapons Ban   Turnabout IS fair play.  Obama ACCUSED us to clinging to our guns and Bibles – as if either is a bad thing.  Now, with Harry Reid at the Senatorial helm, ‘Bam and Biden may be clinging to just a dream. Nice to finally see a … Read more
