Data from the Census Bureau reveals that in 2011 the number of people working full time was outnumbered by those getting government aid.

The day of reckoning looms: Data from the Census Bureau reveals that in 2011 the number of people working full time was outnumbered by those getting government aid.

Many of those getting aid according to these numbers could also be full time workers. Nonetheless, the data is stark and depressing, as it illustrates how American culture has declined. Once it was considered shameful to be “on the dole.” Now everybody does it. You can’t have a robust healthy society under those conditions.

The number of Democratic senators calling for a delay in the Obamacare mandate has now grown to nine.

The number of Democratic senators calling for a delay in the Obamacare mandate has now grown to nine.

So, where were these fools only three weeks ago, when the Republicans offered this very same proposal? Had they voted with the Republicans then, they might have put sufficient pressure on Obama to sign the budget bill. The shutdown wouldn’t have happened and the delay would have gone into effect then.

In other words, three weeks ago this position might have made a difference. Now, it is merely political posturing, intended to give them cover in next year’s election but allowing them to support and keep Obamacare in effect. The voters in their states should note this and dump them accordingly.

Update: The number of Democratic senators calling for a delay has now grown to ten.

Thousands of elderly New York patients have been told by their insurance company that, because of Obamacare, they will have to find another doctor.

Finding out what’s in it: Thousands of elderly New York patients have been told by their insurance company that, because of Obamacare, they will have to find another doctor.

And I am sure that these blue-state seniors, most of whom are usually knee-jerk Democrats, are pleased that the Democratic Party shut the government down rather than revise Obamacare even a teeny-weeny bit.

Animal lovers discover that Obamacare will cost them money too.

Finding out what’s in it: Animal lovers discover that Obamacare will cost them money too.

It seems the 2.3% medical device tax imposed by Obamacare is the culprit.

Luckily, however, when House Republicans suggested that this Obamacare tax be repealed, Obama and the Democrats stood firm and shut the government down rather than consider any revisions to Obamacare.

The rise of government-sanctioned home invasions

The rise of government-sanctioned home invasions.

These incidents underscore a dangerous mindset in which civilians (often unarmed and defenseless) not only have less rights than militarized police, but also one in which the safety of civilians is treated as a lower priority than the safety of their police counterparts (who are armed to the hilt with an array of lethal and nonlethal weapons), the privacy of civilians is negligible in the face of the government’s various missions, and the homes of civilians are no longer the refuge from government intrusion that they once were.

Plain and simple, every single one of these SWAT raids is illegal under the Constitution. They are an abuse of power, and are exactly the kind of abuse that helped inspire the American Revolution in the first place.

A new Federal Reserve report links Obamacare to the decline in employment in ten different areas.

Finding out what’s in it: A new Federal Reserve report links Obamacare to the decline in employment in ten different areas.

Thank God the Democrats held firm, even shutting down the government, so that Obamacare could be saved! My gosh, if they hadn’t done that we might actually have seen the possibility of a small jobs recovery.

The White House has now delayed the deadline for signing up for health insurance by six weeks.

The White House has now officially delayed the deadline for signing up for health insurance by six weeks.

Gee, didn’t Obama just force a 16 day government shutdown when some Republicans suggested he delay the Obamacare mandate?

Note that this is only the first delay. Before they are done I predict the Obama administration will do exactly what those evil Republicans suggested: delay the Obamacare mandate for one year. Which will essentially prove that the Republicans were right in the first place.

The definitive guide to how Obamacare is destroying American lives

The definitive guide to how Obamacare is destroying American lives.

The author asked people to write him, describing to him the consequences of Obamacare. This article provides us those stories, and they are not good. In fact, they are routinely horrible. As he says:

This is about people who can no longer afford their health coverage, their mortgages, their lifesaving medication. This is about doctors and nurses leaving medicine behind, driven away by destructive bureaucratic interference. This is about moms and dads losing their jobs so that their employers can compensate for the financial burden of Obamacare. This is about people without insurance because of Obamacare, now being fined for not having insurance because of Obamacare. This is about business owners driven to the edge of bankruptcy. This is real. We heard a lot of fantasies about what Obamacare was “supposed” to accomplish, now it’s time to talk about what it’s actually doing.

So when they say you are “heartless” for opposing Obamacare, show them why it’s heartless to support it.

But don’t worry! Those Democrats will save you all from those evil Republicans who want to delay or repeal Obamacare.
