Amenper: El Bacanal de los Liberales
No cabe duda que los liberales han disfrutado de un bacanal grotesco
durante los últimos años.
Los que hemos tenido que sufrir las consecuencias de este bacanal de
regalos con nuestro dinero, gastando desbocadamente en inversiones con pérdidas
para llenar una agenda liberal, con beneficios a los votantes cautivos de la
causa liberal, gastos sin medidas ni fin, una política exterior entregistas,
ahora somos enemigos de nuestros amigos y amigos de nuestros enemigos,
y nos hacemos esta pregunta, ¿Seguirá el bacanal o está llegando a su
fin?.
Lo que sí es evidente y no hay que preguntarse, es que ellos están
convencido que el bacanal es permanente y creciente, que no tiene remedio, como
nos decían en los 50s, que el comunismo era el inevitable futuro del mundo.
Por eso vemos que los demócratas liberales, no les parece Hillary Clinton
suficiente liberal, lo cual es el epítome de lo absurdo, y están buscando un
candidato todavía más socialista.
Por eso vemos la bacanal política de un Fiscal General como Holder que ha
violado todos los parámetros de la ley, y todavía tenía aspiraciones de ser
magistrado del Tribunal Supremo, y vemos al alcalde de New York, que viró la
espalda a su departamento de policía, y todavía sigue insultándolos porque
ellos ahora le viran las espaldas. Es la arrogancia de la
embriaguez en el bacanal liberal.
Elizabeth Warren digna Senadora del liberal estado de Massachusetts, es una
alumna aventajada de Marx, y el la niña preferida de los que quieren alguien a
la izquierda de Hillary Clinton.
Por eso la disyuntiva que tenemos es nuestra incógnita. Si
Elizabeth Warren es la candidata, ¿Cómo reaccionarán los votantes?
En las elecciones de 1968, cuando el socialista amigo de Fidel, Eugene
McCarthy perdió las elecciones contra Richard Nixon, fue una derrota histórica,
una avalancha en contra de McCarthy, y se consideró como un mensaje del pueblo
americano contra el izquierdismo radical, lo que entonces llamaron una
realineación del pensamiento americano.
¿Votaría así el pueblo americano en esta época? Me gustaría verlo, me
gustaría ver a la comunista Warren ser la elegida del partido Demócrata, para
ver qué pasa, porque si con Hillary tendríamos una bola de estiércol con
Elizabeth tendríamos una avalancha de la misma substancia, y de jodido para
adelante ya no hay más camino y tendríamos que enfrentar seriamente los
resultados de los problemas que trae el socialismo radical.
¿Se suicidaría el pueblo americano eligiendo a una comunista de presidente?
O tendría el residuo de la grandeza de este pueblo y actuaría como en 1968
realineando la política del país, enviándole como entonces el mensaje al
partido demócrata que no estamos en Europa, pero en los Estados Unidos.
Here come the freshmen: Congress' newest class
AP News | Jan 04,
2015
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress' approval rating
hovers around 15 percent, but there's one group of people excited about the
institution: the newly elected lawmakers who are about to join its ranks.
The House will welcome 58 freshmen this coming
week, including 43 Republicans and 15 Democrats, pushing the GOP majority to
246 members, the most since the Great Depression.
In the Senate, 13 new lawmakers, all but one of
them Republican, will be sworn in, flipping control of the chamber to the GOP
with a 54-vote majority.
The incoming classes will bring new gender and
racial diversity to Capitol Hill, with 104 women in the House and Senate and
close to 100 black, Hispanic and Asian lawmakers. The newcomers include the
youngest woman elected to Congress, 30-year-old Elise Stefanik of New York, and
the first black Republican woman, Mia Love of Utah.
As the new members prepared to arrive on Capitol
Hill, several said they brought hopes of curbing the often partisan atmosphere
in Washington, showing the public that they really can govern and, just maybe,
getting Congress' approval rating back up past 20 percent.
"This election was not an endorsement of
either party, it was a condemnation of, yes, the president's policies, but also
of government dysfunction," said GOP Rep.-elect Carlos Curbelo, who
defeated a Democratic incumbent in Florida. "I hope we can be different.
... I hope we focus on getting things done."
A few of the notable new arrivals:
THE MILENNIALS
Stefanik, a Republican, is one of several young
new faces bringing fresh blood to Capitol Hill, where many lawmakers,
especially senators, are in their 70s or even older. Others are Democrats Seth
Moulton of Massachusetts, who is 36, and Ruben Gallego of Arizona, who's 35.
The three all graduated from Harvard University and have friends in common,
Gallego said.
Gallego said the three have already discussed
areas of cooperation, such as infrastructure investments and bringing down the
cost of college.
"We have talked actually a lot, and I can
definitely see us working together," Gallego said. "We all want the
same things in the general scheme of things — a stable country, a prosperous
future. We may not agree 100 percent on how to get there but I think Democrats
and Republicans do want to find a way."
___
THE EXPERIENCED HANDS
Two of the newcomers to Congress are not new to
Washington at all.
In Michigan, Democrat Debbie Dingell is
replacing her husband, John Dingell, the longest-serving member of Congress,
who retired after nearly 60 years.
In Virginia, Republican Barbara Comstock is
replacing her onetime boss, Frank Wolf, whom she served as a top aide and chief
counsel on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee before joining
the Virginia House of Delegates.
Dingell and Comstock are friendly and have
spoken about how they can collaborate and improve relations and policy making
on Capitol Hill.
"People don't get to know each other, and
that relationship-building and that sense of trust and knowing each other is
part of what's missing," said Dingell, who wrote a master's thesis on
civility in Congress. "And we've got to find ways for people to get to
know each other and talk."
Comstock, who has started a women's leadership
initiative in Virginia, said she, Dingell and other female lawmakers have met
together and hope to forge coalitions.
"Debbie has been a great leader on her side
and she knows Washington also so I think we will probably team up," Comstock
said. Although they're from different parties, "Sometimes people get
caught up in the labels. Good ideas are good ideas."
___
THE NEW REPUBLICAN DIVERSITY
GOP lawmakers in the House and Senate remain
overwhelmingly white and male, but some of the new Republican arrivals break
that mold.
In addition to Stefanik, a woman, and Curbelo,
who is Hispanic, the GOP now claims two black House members, Love and Will Hurd
of Texas. There is also one black senator, 10 Hispanic House members and two
Hispanic senators. There are 22 Republican women in the House and six in the
Senate.
The newcomers could add diversity of ideas to
the Republican conference. Curbelo said he would push House GOP leaders to
support immigration overhaul legislation, something the party has resisted.
"Of course as a freshman our influence is
limited but we can work within our class, our freshman class to build
support," Curbelo said.
THE MILITARY VETERANS
A number of the new arrivals have served in the
military, something that has become increasingly rare on Capitol Hill.
Moulton and Gallego both served with the Marines
in Iraq, while another incoming freshman, Republican Lee Zeldin of New York,
served with the Army there.
Republican Rep.-elect Martha McSally of Arizona
is a retired Air Force colonel and the first female fighter pilot to fly in
combat. She told "Fox News Sunday" that military veterans bring a
problem-solving perspective.
"We're very solution-oriented, we're very
pragmatic," McSally said Sunday. "You can't be in the war you want to
be in, you got to be in the war you're in, and you got to just get the job
done."

Un buen negocio para Raúl
Según
pasa el tiempo más se puede ver la clase de negocio que hizo Obama con Raúl.
Los
Estados Unidos dieron los prisioneros de la Red Avispa, y beneficios para Raúl
con la apertura de los viajes. De vuelta un inocente rehén que no debiera de
haber estado preso y 53 misteriosos prisioneros que nadie ha visto y que el
gobierno de Obama no puede nombrar-
Del
único que se ha hablado es Rolando Sarraff, alguien que era un espía doble y
que cayó en la cárcel de Cuba lo mismo que hubiera podido estar en las cárceles
de Estados Unidos, un mercenario al mejor postor. Sin identificar a Sarraff,Obama dijo
que había logrado la liberación del espía más importante que los Estados Unidos
había tenido en Cuba, pero Sarraff no es un patriota y eso lo saben muchos, por
eso es que no sabemos dónde está ni ha hecho declaraciones desde que volvió a
los Estados Unidos.
Todos
recordamos a Juan Pablo Roque, escribió un libro contra Castro, pagado
por la Fundación Cubana Americana.
El
teniente coronel Juan Pablo Roque usaba su Rolex con orgullo, el único orgullo
de un doble agente cubano que una vez trabajó para el FBI.
Y
costó la vida a las víctimas de la organización de Hermanos al Rescate a la
cual también pertenecía. Dejó
en Miami a una esposa y tres muertos. Pero unos días antes había sido un héroe
asilado. ¿Quiénes son y
donde están los prisioneros políticos liberados por Cuba? ¿Por qué el misterio?
Tenemos
que darnos cuenta que el gobierno de Cuba puede crear un dosier para cualquier
persona, puede hasta hacerlo cumplir cárcel, o escribirle un historial de
contrarrevolucionario como parte del entrenamiento para infiltrarlo en los
Estados Unidos.
¿Cómo
podemos saber quién es quién de los prisioneros liberados si no dan los
nombres?¿Por qué Obama no ha consultado a los disidentes y exilados de
cuales deben de ser los prisioneros liberados?
¿Por
qué Obama ha hecho todo esto de espaldas al pueblo de Cuba y del exilio?
Las
damas de blanco dicen que ninguno de sus familiares ha sido liberado, nadie
sabe quiénes son los prisioneros liberados ni quienes fueron los que escogieron
a los que debían de ser liberados.
Mary
Anastasia O ‘Grady la periodista del Wall Street Journal ha estado tratando de
averiguar quiénes son los prisioneros liberados y no ha podido obtener
respuesta.
En
el artículo que les paso hace un comentario detallado del negocito entre Obama
y Raúl, un negocio que está turbio y huele cada día peor.
En
su escrito, Mary Anastasia no sólo nos habla del negocio del cambio, pero
nos recuerda con quién estamos tratando, con un gobierno que ha sido y es uno
de los peores enemigos que ha tenido los Estados Unidos en su historia. Historia que nos recuerda ella en su
artículo.
Where Are Cuba’s Political Prisoners?
Fifty-three of those jailed by the
Castros were supposed to have been freed in the Obama deal.
Cuba
ASSOCIATED PRESS
By MARY
ANASTASIA O’GRADY
Jan. 4,
2015 5:47 p.m. ET
Who and
where are the 53 Cuban political prisoners that President Obama promised would
be freed by Havana as part of a deal to liberate three convicted Cuban spies
serving lengthy sentences in the U.S.?
I asked the
State Department this last week. State referred me to the White House. White
House officials declined to provide the list of names citing “concern that
publicizing it would make it more difficult to ensure that Cuba follows
through, and continues with further steps in the future.”
Bottom
line: The U.S. government cannot confirm that they have been released and is
not certain they’re going to be released, even though the three Cuban spies
have already been returned.
A
government official told me that keeping the names of the 53 quiet will give
Cuba the opportunity to release them as a sovereign measure, rather than at the
behest of the U.S., and that this could allow for additional releases.
In other
words, the Castros are sensitive boys who throw despotic tantrums when their
absolute power is questioned. Asking them to keep their word is apparently a
trigger.
Mr. Obama
was destined to have trouble changing Cuba policy. Nixon went to China. But
“Obama goes to Havana”? That sounds like stand-up comedy. A man with some
humility might have prepared for the challenge. Mr. Obama did not. Now, little
by little, what he says he got in the “negotiations” seems to be evaporating
while what he gave away appears reckless.
The U.S.
president hasn’t gone to Havana, not yet anyway. But he did use the prisoner
swap to announce that he plans to unconditionally open diplomatic relations
with the military dictatorship, something that the Castros have long demanded.
Count that as concession one.
He said he
would ease restrictions on American travel to the island and make it legal to
use U.S. credit cards and debit cards in Cuba, thereby boosting revenues for
the military-owned tourism industry. That’s concession two.
His promise
to review Cuba’s designation as a state sponsor of terror sounded like he had
already made up his mind. “At a time when we are focused on threats from al
Qaeda to ISIL, a nation that meets our conditions and renounces the use of
terrorism should not face this sanction,” Mr. Obama said.
That would
complete the concession trifecta. Cuba still supports the FARC, the Colombian
terrorist group, it got caught in 2013 trying to smuggle weapons through the
Panama Canal to North Korea, and credible intelligence analysts say Cuba has
provided Venezuela the technology it needs to falsify identities for Middle
East terrorists.
If Mr. Obama
is serious about selling U.S.-Cuba detente, a little less obfuscation would be
nice. The U.S. has not confirmed the identity of the intelligence asset who it
says had been in a Cuban prison for nearly 20 years and was also traded for the
Cuban spies. Mr. Obama said the Cuban, before his arrest, had supplied key
information to the U.S. that led to the nabbing of those spies, as well as
three others.
Press
reports and intel experts I talked to say the “asset” is Rolando Sarraff. But a
debate is raging in the intelligence community about whether Mr. Sarraff, who
has not been heard from since his arrival on U.S. soil, is all he’s cracked up
to be by Mr. Obama. Another possibility is that his résumé was embellished to
cover up for what was essentially a trade of the convicted spies for Alan
Gross, the U.S. Agency for International Development contractor who was
arrested by Cuban state security in Havana in 2009.
Mr. Obama
claimed in his speech that Mr. Gross’s release was a humanitarian gesture on
the part of Cuba. That’s not believable. Almost from the day Mr. Gross was
arrested, Havana made it clear that he would not be released until the Cuban
spies were returned to the island. He was a hostage.
If the
Castro brothers renege on their promise to free the 53 it wouldn’t be a
surprise. But nothing in their history suggests they would want to keep the
release a secret. On the contrary, going back to the days of Jimmy Carter ,
Fidel has always released dissidents as a propaganda tool to boost his image as
a benevolent leader—even while he sends them into exile or only paroles them.
Most of the
prisoners arrested in Cuba’s Black Spring of March 2003, for example, were
shipped off to Spain when international pressure forced the regime to let them
out. The regime boasted about it; the press and the Catholic Church reported it
as a humanitarian gesture.
In the
weeks since Mr. Obama’s rapprochement with Cuba, reports from the island say
that more than 50 dissidents have been arrested, including the husband of the
dissident blogger Yoani Sánchez. Most have been released but some remain in
prison.
Don’t
expect much outrage from Washington. Mr. Obama wouldn’t want to damage his
newly reconciled relationship with the police state.

Caddell Poll: GOP Voters Want to Dump Boehner as
Speaker
Sixty percent of Republican voters want John Boehner
replaced as Speaker of the House, a new poll shows, as a
conservative mutiny grows against the Ohio congressman they consider too
accommodating with President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats.
The Caddell Associates' survey of 602 Americans who voted Republican in the midterm elections also found that they agree with the simmering conservative revolt, as 64 percent called Boehner too "ineffective" in opposing Obama’s agenda.
The Caddell Associates' survey of 602 Americans who voted Republican in the midterm elections also found that they agree with the simmering conservative revolt, as 64 percent called Boehner too "ineffective" in opposing Obama’s agenda.
When asked if they wanted to replace Boehner, 34
percent said they would "definitely" support a new speaker and 26
percent added that they "probably" would want someone else.
The survey, conducted last week, adds to a growing debate on the right over Boehner’s future as the leader of the House in the new Congress.
The election for speaker is scheduled for Jan. 6, and Boehner would need the support of a majority of members present and voting.
The resignation of Republican Michael Grimm of New York dropped the total number of House members in the new Congress to 434, with Republicans holding 246 seats. Boehner would need at least 218 votes. So far, as many as 18 Republicans are privately opposing him.
Rep. Walter Jones of North Carolina, one of the few Republicans who are publicly against the speaker, says he "cannot vote in good conscience for John Boehner."
"Right now, I’ve been meeting with a small group, and we — about 16, 18 — and we’re hoping to have a name of a sitting member of Congress that we can call out their name," he told North Carolina’s Talk of the Town radio program.

Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, another Republican
openly opposing Boehner, sees a lighter side to the campaign, even at a local
fast-food restaurant.
Some of the strongest opposition to Boehner comes from conservative talk-show host Sean Hannity, who told Breitbart on Tuesday that he supports Trey Gowdy of South Carolina.
"It’s time for new dynamic leadership in the House of Representatives," he said. "Trey Gowdy is my choice for speaker. He has the ability to articulate and implement the changes needed to get the country on the right path."

Amenper: Mayor eulogizes officer as
cops outside turn backs
NEW YORK (AP) -- Thousands of
city police officers turned their backs Sunday as they watched Mayor
Bill de Blasio eulogize an officer shot dead with his partner, repeating a
stinging display of scorn for the mayor despite entreaties from the police
commissioner not to do so.
The show of disrespect came
outside the funeral home where Officer Wenjian Liu was remembered as an
incarnation of the American dream: a man who had immigrated at age 12 and
devoted himself to helping others in his adopted country. The gesture, among
officers watching the mayor's speech on a screen, added to tensions between the
mayor and rank-and-file police even as he sought to quiet them.
"As we start a new year,
a year we're entering with hearts that are doubly heavy" from the loss of
Officer Liu and his partner, Officer Rafael Ramos, de Blasio said. "Let us
rededicate ourselves to those great New York traditions of mutual understanding
and living in harmony. Let us move forward by strengthening the bonds that
unite us, and let us work together to attain peace."
Police convened from around
the country to mourn Liu, who was killed Dec. 20. Officer Lucas Grant of the
Richmond County Sheriff's Office in Augusta, Georgia, said he came to Liu's
funeral with about six other officers from neighboring departments "to
support our family."
"When one of us loses our
lives, we have to come together," Grant said.
As Liu's family arrived for
his funeral, Police Commissioner William Bratton tweeted: "We will never
forget his sacrifice."
A day earlier, mourners lined
up for blocks on a cold, rainy day for Liu's wake.
"This is a really tragic
story," Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters following the wake, held just two
days after the death of his own father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo.
"This is really
pointless. It had nothing to do with them," he said of Liu and Ramos.
"They did nothing wrong. ... It was pure and random hatred."
The shooter, Ismaaiyl
Brinsley, killed himself shortly after the brazen daytime ambush on a Brooklyn
street.
Investigators say Brinsley was
an emotionally disturbed loner who had made references online to the killings
this summer of unarmed black men at the hands of white police officers, vowing
to put "wings on pigs."
The deaths strained an already
tense relationship between city police unions and de Blasio, who union leaders
have said contributed to an environment that allowed the killings by supporting
protests following the deaths of Eric Garner on Staten Island and Michael Brown
in Ferguson, Missouri.
The head of the rank-and-file
police union, which is negotiating a contract with the city, turned his back on
the mayor at a hospital the day of the killings. The act was imitated by
hundreds of officers standing last week outside Ramos' funeral who turned their
backs toward a giant TV screen as de Blasio's remarks were being broadcast.
Many people, including
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, have since pressed all parties to tone down the
rhetoric. And this weekend, Bratton sent a memo to all commands urging respect,
declaring "a hero's funeral is about grieving, not grievance."
Officers who turned their backs on de Blasio on Sunday spun back
around when Bratton took the podium to speak after the mayor.
On Saturday, officers standing
outside the Brooklyn funeral home where Liu was displayed, dressed in full
uniform in an open casket, saluted as the mayor and commissioner
entered. On Sunday, the mayor got a respectful reception among police
officials inside the funeral home.
But some ill will was visible
ahead of de Blasio's scheduled remarks at Liu's funeral. Retired NYPD officer
John Mangan stood across the street from the funeral home with a sign that
read: "God Bless the NYPD. Dump de Blasio." And Patrick Yoes, a
national secretary with the 328,000-member Fraternal Order of Police, said he
applauded New York police union leader Patrick Lynch's stance toward the mayor,
including Lynch's declaration that de Blasio had "blood on his hands"
after the shootings.
"Across this country, we
seem to be under attack in the law enforcement profession, and the message to
take away from this is: We are public servants. We are not public
enemies," Yoes said.
But George Breedy, a
lieutenant with the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Department in Louisiana, said
he had no plans to protest de Blasio, calling the rift between officers and the
mayor a "local issue."
"We're here to pay
respect to the officers," Breedy said.
Liu's funeral arrangements
were delayed so relatives from China could travel to New York. He is to be
buried at Cypress Hills Cemetery.
On Saturday, a small vigil was
established in Chinatown and community members gathered, burning pieces of
paper in honor of Liu in keeping with Chinese tradition.
Yet
Another Top Republican Ditches Boehner. By
Ahead of Tuesday’s congressional vote
to elect the next Speaker, another Republican congressman has openly revealed
that he won’t be casting his vote to re-elect John Boehner.
Joining fellow Republicans Louie Gohmert (TX), Thomas Massie (KY), Jim Bridenstine (OK), Walter Jones (NC) and Ted Yoho (FL), who have very recently publicly proclaimed their dissent from Boehner, is Iowa Congressman Steve King, a staunch defender of constitutional government.
“We need a Speaker who will help us all keep our oath, including his own, to the Constitution, not one who has consistently clocked our efforts to keep ours. I will vote for an alternative candidate for Speaker. I can’t vote for John Boehner again,” Representative King penned in an op-ed in Breitbart on Sunday.
Rep. King (not to ever be confused with left-leaning NY Congressman Peter King), reminded Boehner and those voting on Tuesday of their constitutional oath by quoting it word for word, while saying that Obama “has repeatedly plunged our nation into a constitutional crisis. No past president has so cavalierly violated his own oath and through naked political calculation, willfully violated the Constitution.
King writes that Boehner has repeatedly urged Republican members to “take the high road” and to “pick our battles,” and to “wait for a better time” to fight against Obama’s unconstitutional acts.
King cites the $1.1 trillion, 1,600 page “CRomnibus” spending measure, which fully funds both Obamacare, which he correctly assessed as being passed by “hook crook, and legislative shenanigan,” and Obama’s illegal amnesty and directly quotes Boehner’s prior statements vowing to do everything within his power to fight against them, promises Boehner has clearly broken.
A new poll, devastating to Boehner’s leadership, reveals that 60% of Republicans want Boehner ousted as speaker, while only 25% want him to stay.
“Barack Obama also rewrote immigration law from the Oval Office at the expense of Congress, the Constitution, and our sovereignty,” King continued. “Our Founding Fathers presumed that each of the three branches of government would jealously preserve, protect, and defend their Constitutional authority. It takes a Speaker who both understands and believes his sworn duty is to use all the powers of his office to defend and restore the proper constitutional balance of powers. Instead, our Speaker has placed Obama’s executive amnesty on the path to permanent full funding,” he asserted.
Both Gohmert and Yoho announced over the weekend that they would be happy to replace Boehner as the next Speaker of the House. It will take 30 Republicans to vote for someone other than Boehner to oust him from his head of the surrender caucus. If that occurs on Tuesday, then Boehner won’t have a majority to continue as speaker and subsequent votes will follow until a new one is elected.

Expect
A 242% Hike In Obamacare Fines For 2015
...2015 is the year that average citizens will really...FLOYD BROWN
Obamacare was craftily written…
Benefits
come first, and then the bite comes later.
You
see, if you remained uninsured in 2014, you would have paid a penalty of $95
(or 1% above the filing threshold).
But the
fines were structured to increase over time. And 2015 is the year that average
citizens will really start to feel the sting.
Uncle Sam Fines More and More…
For
2015, you’re facing a $325 fine, or a penalty that’s 2% of income above the
filing threshold.
Remember,
there’s always a lag in the way you pay with taxes… The penalty is calculated
when you file your return based on your income in the tax year, so 2016
penalties will actually be collected in 2017.
And
current members of Congress are acting powerless to do anything about it, using
the excuse that it was passed by Congress way back in 2009.
The
final kick in the head comes in 2016, when Obama is heading out the door.
According to government sources, the fine in 2016 will be slightly over $1,100!
But now
that the Republicans have control of Congress, can we expect anything to
change? Hardly!
At
most, we can expect to see mere revisions to Obamacare.
I mean,
it’s important to remember that Obamacare has done something big business
wanted – getting the healthcare monkey off their back. And over time, Obamacare
will move the responsibility of healthcare from employers to employees.
Remember
also that the original framework for Obamacare came from Romneycare in
Massachusetts, and that Romney worked closely with the “conservative” Heritage
Foundation to craft his bill. These types of historic facts often become
obscured by the rhetoric.
If
anything, the Democrats made the whole policy less taxing on the working poor by handing out a
Christmas tree of subsidies.
But as
Republicans make Obamacare more “fiscally sound,” look for some of the
subsidies to go away.
Gov’t Fiscal Irresponsibility
The
real story of healthcare spending is about generational transfer payments. The
baby boom generation has a host of healthcare problems from years of drug abuse
and partying. Now, they’re overweight and don’t want to pay the tab for their
healthcare.
The
government needs more money to pay the healthcare bills of older Americans; and
forcing young, healthy workers to pay more into the insurance system is a way
to subsidize the older population.
As my
colleague, Chris Worthington, has so clearly explained, while the middle class
is getting smaller and losing wealth, Obamacare continues the
transfer payments.
And
businesses and stockholders benefit by shedding healthcare costs for workers.
American
socialism is socialism turned on its head. The rich get bailed out, and the

WaPo: Police Nationally Feeling 'Betrayed' by City Hall, White
House
A growing number of police officers nationwide feel "betrayed"
by President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder because of their
calls for reforms to policing practices in the wake of the shooting deaths of
Michael Brown and Eric Garner,according to The Washington
Post.
Meanwhile, the rift between New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York Police Department appeared to have deepened Sunday after hundreds of officers attending the funeral of murdered policeman Wenjian Liu turned their backs in a sign of anger and defiance when the mayor rose to speak, The Wall Street Journal reported.
But even more concerning to many police officials is how the anger in New York seems to be spreading around the nation. Many of the officers who turned their backs on de Blasio Sunday were out-of-town police who traveled to New York City for the funeral.

But even more concerning to many police officials is how the anger in New York seems to be spreading around the nation. Many of the officers who turned their backs on de Blasio Sunday were out-of-town police who traveled to New York City for the funeral.
"We might be
reaching a tipping point with the mindset of officers, who are beginning to
wonder if the risks they take to keep communities safe are even worth it
anymore," Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said, according to the
Post.
"In New York and other places, we're seeing a natural recoil from law enforcement officers who don't feel like certain people who need to have their backs have their backs."
The latest protest by the police comes after other incidents late last month. Officersturned their backs on the mayor at the funeral of the other police officer who was killed alongside Liu, Rafael Ramos, and they did the same at an NYPD graduation ceremony.
Leaders of the police union have blamed the mayor for fostering an anti-NYPD atmosphere they believe contributed to the slayings of the two officers.
In the wake of the deaths, Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, had suggested that the responsibility for the deaths "starts on the steps of City Hall, in the office of the mayor."
"Police officers feel like they were turned upon by City Hall, and we have a right to express our opinion as well, as they did respectfully," Lynch said of the police officers who turned their backs on the mayor, according to the Journal. He said it was "an organic gesture that started on the streets of New York."

Other high level public figures, including former New York Police
Department commissioner Bernard Kerik, former mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and
former governor George Pataki have all suggested that de Blasio, Holder,
President Barack Obama, and civil rights activist Al Sharpton have fanned the
flames of hostility toward police, the Post reported.
Delroy Burton, chairman of the Washington, D.C. police officers union, said Holder "gave the impression that he was against us. Like there aren't two sides to this," the Post reported.
Burton also said that Obama's announcement of federal funding for the purchase of body cameras for police came across as antagonistic.
"He could have said, 'We are going to help you weed out the bad guys from your profession. We know the vast majority of you are out there doing the right thing,' " Burton said, according to the Post.
Law enforcement families in cities across the country have organized demonstrations in support of officers in recent weeks.
"I think officers are good people who go out there to do good. Are there some things that need to be changed in law enforcement? Maybe. But it's important that our officers know they have their community's support."
Police leaders are now saying that it will be up to the mayor to extend the olive branch and heal the rift with the police.
"As far as any type of a fix is concerned between City Hall and the members of the NYPD, that challenge falls squarely on the shoulders of the mayor," Michael Palladino, president of the Detectives' Endowment Association, a police union, told the Journal. "Words alone won't heal the wounds."

In his eulogy for Liu on Sunday, de Blasio made reference to the
divisions and appealed for a renewed effort at "mutual understanding,"
the Journal reported.
"Let us move forward by strengthening the bonds that unite and working together to obtain peace," de Blasio said.
A spokesman for the mayor said: "Our city and this administration are focused on doing everything possible to support the grieving families of our fallen heroes," the Journal reported.

Pope Francis: ‘Bring All Religions Together,’
Concept Of One Denomination Raises Concerns
Primero pidio
que a los homosexuales se les tratara por igual como si fuesen personas
normales (no pecadoras).
Despues pidio
que Cuba comunista (sin cambiar su sistema dictatorial ni un apice) y los EEUU
formalizaran de Nuevo sus relaciones.
Lo ultimo que
pide (hasta ahora) es que se unan todas la religiones (luego pedira que se unan
todos los paises en un gobierno mundial?)
Pope Francis: ‘Bring All Religions Together,’ Concept Of One
Denomination Raises Concerns

alt="Pope Francis Holds His Weekly General Audience" />
Pope Francis recently delivered a powerful message to
ring in the new year at St. Peter’s Basilica’s Roman Catholic Church’s World
Day of Peace. In his message, which served as an introductory for this year’s
theme, he discussed the positive aspects of unity among religions and cultures.
According to the Huffington Post, he urged all religions to come together and join in
the fight against modern slavery and human trafficking. The powerful message
was quite befitting for this year’s theme, “No Longer Slaves, but Brothers and
Sisters.”
“All of us are called (by God) to be free, all are
called to be sons and daughters, and each, according to his or her own
responsibilities, is called to combat modern forms of enslavement. From every
people, culture and religion, let us join our forces.”
However, the notion of bringing all religions together
seems like a positive concept that would undoubtedly make the world a better
place. But, unfortunately from a realistic perspective, there are definitely
doubts. Due to the various beliefs of different denominations, some feel
freedom and peace cannot work with religious ideology, dogma, or a theocracy
because science and religion are in conflict with one another. The Record also cites the
complexity of the relationship between science and religion, which is often as
controversial as the separation of church and state. Then, there are others who
have rendered “coming together” as forming one denomination.
The ongoing argument about the concept and
misconception of “one denomination” has sparked quite a debate. Although some
agree with Pope Francis’ views, many
argued that theoretically it could never happen, and “peace on earth” is an
impossible feat. For example, many readers could not even fathom Muslims taking
on the beliefs of any other religion or culture, let alone agree with the idea
of anti-slavery.
Here are some of the responses to Pope Francis’
perspective of bringing all religions together.
“I am always wary of what the Pope has to say. Since
waaaaay back when the Catholic Church changed the Sabbath day from the seventh
day to the first day to demonstrate their strength, their agenda has been
suspect. We are a thinking people. Think.”
“There will never be peace in the world unfortunately.
People give each other the finger in traffic and you think people will stop and
make peace?”
“how would you feel if someone suggested that al
people become a different religion…like say Buddhism…how would you like that?”
“The pope may convince Catholics, some Protestants,
and even a few Muslim clerics in a venue for justice, but Muslims in general
will never agree to anti-slavery, at least not in practice, else they’d have to
edit their book. Regardless, when religious bodies “join forces” in religious
exercises, prayers, etc., there’s often a vain attempt to intermingle light and
darkness, good and evil, but the scriptures are clear that we are not to be unevenly
yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). A church that incorporates wolves
into the flock will soon be devoured.”
“We cannot possibly become one religion. We can all
want the best for the betterment state of our country, but becoming one
religion is not doing it. The Muslims, Hamas and Jihadists, don’t think so!”
However, there are some believers who feel the void
between faith and science will close one day. But, what would that signify? In
the book of Revelations, the bible speaks of one world religion near the end of
time. So, although the sentiment is a relatively positive notion, many find the
concept of peace on earth quite disconcerting.
Do you agree or disagree with Pope Francis’ concept of
bringing all religions together? Share your thoughts.
