When Liberalism talks, money walks…

Want more evidence of the failure of Liberalism?

Close on the heels of news that the Boston Globe sold for less than 1/10th its value, comes the news that the Washington Post suffered a similar fate.

Both are left-of-center stalwarts of journalism for the Liberal agenda.

Both have seen their readership and advertising revenue plunge, proving that…

…when Liberalism talks…money walks…AWAY!

Jerusalem ain’t just a city in Ohio…

Whether you believe in America supporting Israel or not, one truth is undeniable…

If Palestinians put down their weapons, there would be peace…

…if Israelis put down their weapons…there would be genocide…

This fiasco over the US State Dept not recognizing Jerusalem as being part of Israel is patently ridiculous, for several reasons…the above certainty being one of them.

Second, the United States recognizes Israel as a nation, and as an ally. To refuse any acknowledgment that their most holy city is in Israel is an insult to that alliance.

Refusing that status by claiming it would harm a Middle East peace process is idiocy of the highest magnitude. It hasn’t stopped terror attacks…they’ve increased in ferocity.

NOT recognizing Jerusalem as being part of Israel actually rewards terrorists, and terrorism, and emboldens terror groups to step up their lethal acts against that nation.

Even if you don’t support Israel, facts must be acknowledged. It bears repeating…

If Palestinians put down their weapons, Peace would result…

If Israelis put down their weapons, Genocide would result.

Just be honest. Which do you prefer?

Whoops, there goes another Rubber-tree Liberal…

Fresh from licking her wounds over the BlueCollar rebuttal on the embassy closing issue, Connie A. tries her hand at suggesting GOP hypocrisy over Obamacare.

She screams (all caps) that both Democrats and Republicans feared the ‘brain drain’ if Capitol Hill dwellers fled the Obamacare avalanche threatening healthcare subsidies.

It would be advisable to remember NO Republicans voted for Obamacare.

In that context, of course they would resent being forced to take a financial hit.

So, for the rational members of the BlueCollar Perspective, when your Liberal buddies try to throw the ‘Republicans too’ argument at you (and you know they’ll try)…

…remind them who was FOR Obamacare…and who was AGAINST it.

We submit that the only brain-drain would be in the Republican ranks!

Just sayin’…

On why a ‘brain-drain’ in Congress is impossible…

Obama selectively suspends his signature law (illegally) once again…exempting Democrat Congressional politicians and their highly paid aides from Obamacare.

Not because of coverage…but because of cost.

(Proving that old adage…How do you hurt a Democrat? Hit ’em in their wallet!)

The way THEIR bill was written…by THEM…coverage subsidies would have been lost.

O-M-G…(making $174k per year) THEY would have to pay more for THEIR coverage.

And the concern was that many would leave Capitol Hill for the private sector, seeking the economic safety that would cushion them from enduring such financial hardship.

Creating a ‘brain drain’ on Capitol Hill. Yet…THAT would be impossible. Why?

First of all, let’s be real…they’re Democrats. But, that aside…A ‘brain drain’ implies there was a brain there to start with…and we’ve already pointed out that such ‘brains’ were the cause – THEY crafted, hyped, and passed Obamacare…

…It’s THEIR Democrat bill……THEY forced it on Americans…and – sweet irony – it’s now shooting THEM… in THEIR wallets…

…THAT’S what you call self-inflicted wounds! So now, Obama is forced to selectively distribute ‘exemption flak-jackets’, to protect the idiots from themselves.

Really folks, who’s concerned about losing such ‘brains’?

Departure of idiots who create pain like this should be a welcome…pain drain.

Call your Senators and let them know how you feel about this latest Obama exemption.

Detroit reveals Obamacare as just another union bailout…

Reflex slap at the previous ‘defund Obamacare’ blog from a reader.

Please, get real…lobbyists write the legislation, not Congressmen. And the biggest lobby for Democrats are unions, painfully aware of huge unfunded healthcare liabilities.

Make no mistake…union lobbyists eyeing looming financial disaster built an ‘escape hatch’ into Obamacare. The GOP warned about this; mainstream media downplayed it.

Obamacare’s just another union ‘bailout’, and that descriptive carries strong negatives.

ONE MORE REASON for the GOP to defund it now…because…

…if not now…WHEN?

After Stockton, San Bernadino, and Chicago shove their union retirees into the plan?

Open letter to Dr. Charles Krauthammer…we’re at the ‘nothing left to lose’ stage…

Defunding Obamacare…BlueCollar takes on, with admitted trepidation, the ‘Hammer’.

Charles Krauthammer said Friday that defunding the widely-despised Democrat law, at the expense of shutting down the Government, is a ‘really dumb’ idea, especially since he’s convinced Republicans would eventually cave, or get blamed for the shutdown.

(He thinks the GOP should first regain the Senate, or the White House, or both.)

With all due respect to Dr. Krauthammer (channeling the estimable Don Rumsfeld)…you go to war with what you have. The GOP has a growing public loathing of O’care that’s palpable; plus, the House of Representatives, fairness, and equality on their side.

First, even a heavily-Democrat-weighted NBC poll shows the law is despised.

Second, like a poorly-built jalopy, pieces of the law are falling off, as are promises of ‘keeping your plan’, ‘keeping your doctor’, and ‘your rates will go down’. None of it’s working. (Even a Democrat would return a new Corvette, if it ran like a lawnmower.)

Third, everybody BUT the middle class is getting a waiver from its mandates, and even Congress Democrats and their aides threaten mutiny if they’re forced into Obamacare.

(Left-of-center Politico’s story included Republicans as being in the talks, but ‘forgot’ to note only Democrats voted for the law…thus being the only hypocrites in the room.)

Fourth…Republicans should invoke Obama’s much-vaunted FAIRNESS doctrine. After all, many unions and businesses are getting a pass…but individual citizens don’t?

Fifth, the U.S. Constitution promises Americans ‘equal protection under the law’.

If a House GOP passes individual Continuing Resolution budget items (14 or so), they can invoke ‘fairness’ in stripping O’care funds, yet not jeopardize other gov’t funding. All items will cover the necessary government appropriations, as itemized individual CR’s.

Don’t wait ’til the last minute…the House should pass ‘urgent’ individual resolutions now, send them to the Senate with an “itemized plan prevents a govt shutdown” message… then, POUND that ‘fairness’ mantra every day until Democrats cave. DEMAND equal protection under the law…(or in this case, from the law)…for individual citizens!

Force Senate Democrats to defend unfairness and inequality daily…there are quite a few up for re-election in 2014, and they’re not happy trying to defend Obamacare. (A big reason why Obama just gave the employer-mandate a no-enforcement pass.)

Harry Reid and cohort may try to jam the items into one ‘all-or-nothing’ bill, to force the GOP to stall the bill, making it look like they’ve caused a shutdown…but clarity prevails if the House points out in advance a Democrat-consolidated bill will snarl things up.

And Senate Republicans should take every action at their disposal to  push the message set by the House, always prefaced with Fairness and Equality demands, and stressing the fact that an ‘urgent’ per-item plan prevents any shutdown possibility.

If Senate Democrats still try to jam all continuing resolutions together, to make it an ‘all-or-nothing’ bill that Republicans won’t buy, or if they stall (making it a last-minute crisis), they own it…because the GOP set the ‘urgent’ and ‘shutdown preventable’ narrative.

If the Democrat Senate version passes fast, the House can conference the bill, break the Obamacare funding out again, re-sending 14 itemized bills to the Senate quickly, thus forcing Harry Reid’s Democrats to – once again – snarl the issue, or cave.

By October 01, if Democrats refuse to accept fairness and equality, they will be seen as the perpetrators of a government shutdown…despite the media’s best efforts.

So let’s use the mantra of Fairness and Equality against them…

…along with the common-sense ‘1st Rule of Car Buying’…value for your money.

No sane American buys lawnmower power …at a Corvette price!

Send Obamacare to the junkyard where it belongs.

And, today, we hear bankrupt Detroit has decided to push the retired city workers health care obligations over to Obamacare. MORE cities will follow, at more billions in cost.

If Republicans can’t sell defunding a hugely despised law based on basic values of fairness and equality, they’re not Republicans…they’re just politicians…

…and lousy ones at that.

2010 midterms sent a message Democrats fear. But 2012 saw the lousiest president in history re-elected. 2014 elections carry no Senate or White House GOP guarantees.

In our opinion, it’s now or never. Janis sang it best

In the death-grip of Obamacare…Freedom IS just another word for ‘nothing left to lose’.
