Slick Willy #2..."Anything But the Truth" Obama
Is there any American left on planet Earth who believes the IRS doesn't have enough power at it's disposal? You all know them right? That fun loving government agency who reeks havoc and reigns hell down on the average American's life yet calls a no foul / no penalty play on DC's finest politicians when they "forget" to pay their fair share? Yes, the ultimate bill collectors, armed and ready to invade your homes, your bank accounts and jail you for not volunteering to pay your mandatory taxes, are now poised to collect more out of your rear ends for Obama Care ( or is it Pelosi -Care
) should it pass, and should you not pay. Don't you love that kind of "choice"?READ ON
From the House Ways and Means Republicans:
Letter from the Joint Committee on Taxation
Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail. The JCT letter makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.
In response to the JCT letter, Camp said: “This is the ultimate example of the Democrats’ command-and-control style of governing – buy what we tell you or go to jail. It is outrageous and it should be stopped immediately.”
Key excerpts from the JCT letter appear below:
“H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1]
- – - – - – - – - -
“If the government determines that the taxpayer’s unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…” [page 2]
- – - – - – - – - -
“Criminal penalties
Prosecution is authorized under the Code for a variety of offenses. Depending on the level of the noncompliance, the following penalties could apply to an individual:
• Section 7203 – misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.
• Section 7201 – felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.” [page 3]
When confronted with this same issue during its consideration of a similar individual mandate tax, the Senate Finance Committee worked on a bipartisan basis to include language in its bill that shielded Americans from civil and criminal penalties. The Pelosi bill, however, contains no similar language protecting American citizens from civil and criminal tax penalties that could include a $250,000 fine and five years in jail.
“The Senate Finance Committee had the good sense to eliminate the extreme penalty of incarceration. Speaker Pelosi’s decision to leave in the jail time provision is a threat to every family who cannot afford the $15,000 premium her plan creates. Fortunately, Republicans have an alternative that will lower health insurance costs without raising taxes or cutting Medicare,” said Camp.
According to the Congressional Budget Office the lowest cost family non-group plan under the Speaker’s bill would cost $15,000 in 2016.15,000$!?
Xangan wisdom of the day brought to you by ProvokingThought :"What has the government done that we should place our trust in them? They have robbed and squandered the "trust fund" of Social Security, Medicare is going broke. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, CRA, Energy...everything they touch they screw up. That is not being partisan, that is being objective".

The Case for Obama Indoctrination
The definition of indoctrination :
1. to instruct in a doctrine, principle, ideology, etc., esp. to imbue with a specific partisan or biased belief or point of view.
2. to teach or inculcate.
3. to imbue with learning.
4. To instruct in a body of doctrine or principles.
5. To imbue with a partisan or ideological point of view
The synonyms of indoctrination :
1. brainwash
2. propagandize.
The definition of synonyms:
1. a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another in the language, as joyful, elated, glad.
2. a word or expression accepted as another name for somethingIf I told you that many children in public schools in America were singing these words :We believe in Allah, Allah
He loves you and he loves your mama
We believe in Allah Allah , yeah
With all the change he’s building
Gonna bring hope to the children
We believe in Allah Allah, yeah
He loves you and your MamaWould you object?What if I told you they were singing those songs of another historical figure but instead of using Allah, replace it with Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Jesus
He loves you and he loves your mama
We believe in Jesus Jesus , yeah
With all the change he’s building
Gonna bring hope to the children
We believe in Jesus Jesus, yeah
He loves you and your Mama
Would you object? Seriously?
Given the nature of these names, I would suspect that most of you would all claim "indoctrination" of your children if these songs were being "taught" to them in public schools. And you would be right in saying so, because that's what it would be. When an adult, or any person of authority instructs little children in songs like this, they naturally create devotions in the heart of the child for whatever is being taught to them. Even an Atheist will tell you that.
Many of you (myself included) have a tune that lives in the heart of each one of us because it was put there by another person. The song sounds like this " Yes Jesus Loves me, Yes Jesus Loves Me, Yes Jesus loves me...the Bible tells me so". Most of us can't even remember who taught us that song, but in some strange fashion, it remains apart of who we are. Whether you came to Christ or rejected Him later in life, doesn't change the fact that you were indoctrinated into the principles of Christian ideology. The same rings true for every Muslim, Buddhist, Jew, etc..Which brings me to my point...
Somehow, rationale and logic have completely escaped the minds of those who support Barack Obama when little kids sing songs in public shcools--taught to them by teachers that sound like this :"We believe in Barack Obama
He loves you and he loves your mama
We believe in Barack Obama, yeah
With all the change he’s building
Gonna bring hope to the children
We believe in Barack Obama, yeah"Do you really think that Barack Obama loves you and your mama? Do you think that he's really bringing "hope" to children?
And the lyrics of this song :"Barack Obama there is none higher
Other politicians should call me sire
To burn my kingdom you must use fire
I create change till I retire!"
There's none higher? Sire? Kingdom? Fire?
Nope--no religious overtones there
No Obama agenda here right ?Kids Speak over (Yes We Can by Will.I.am) playing in the background:
"This is for the young and old
The rich and poor
Democrats and Republicans
Black, White, Hispanic, Native Americans
Gay, Straight
Disabled, Not DisabledWe can!
Yes, I can be my own person.
Yes, I can be a policeman
Yes, I can have a good future
Yes, I can be the first person in my family to go to college
Yes, I can do good in school
Yes, I can become the first Mexican PresidentYes we can.
I can save electricity
I can do good in school
I can help clean up the community
I can volunteer
I can save water
I can give donationsJust as a Seventh Grader
Yes, we can."Right now I feel like Woody telling Buzz Light Year that he is just a TOY when I declare: Barack Obama is JUST a politican. He's not the Messiah. He's not going to save the world. He's not loving this mama or my children by creating debt so heavy that it will literally turn them into slaves working to pay down a tax burden so high it will require 3 and 4 jobs to make ends meet and put food on their tables.
I was not a fan of George Bush. I would have been royally flamed had my children been taught to sing what amounts to nothing more than propaganda in cutesy tunes about the President. My children don't need the government to tell them to volunteer, or to save electricity and water. We were volunteering our time before Obama thought he would make it his idea. We were volunteering before Obama had the idea to spend millions of our tax dollars to tell us to volunteer. Why? Because that's what we do as Americans in my family. I was sort of indoctrinated into taught to volunteer my time by my parents as a child.
The water and electricity is controlled through something we call a BILL and a thermostat. If one gets too high, so does the other. It's controlled through our resources or lack of the green back. Doesn't it work that way for every American who isn't filthy rich? (Maybe Mr. Obama would like to have a talk with Mr.Gore and inform him that using 20 times the daily electricity in his own home compared to the average American while flying around the world in his private jet sort of makes him look like a major hypocrite--especially while he's making billions off of "green technology". I mean--
if Obama really wants to save the planet and all, maybe he might start with Al Gore's kids who apparently are not being taught the propaganda principles of global warming)Whether you like Obama or not as President is NOT the issue. America cannot be so mentally dull to beleive that this is not plainly indoctrination.
It's brainwashing propaganda to imbue kids with the Obama "change" agenda for America. You may not object, but please don't play the hypocrite and deny it for what it really is.

Creepy Indoctrination: A Troubling Pattern
Big Hollywood has already posted a couple disturbing videos of young school children singing/speaking praises to President Obama, but when eleven more dropped in our email box it came as quite a shock. What seemed like an aberration now appears to be a troubling pattern.
Maybe “epidemic” is a better word.
Each one of the videos below is creepier than the last because the further down you go, the younger the children — brace yourself for kindergartners – except for the last and most disturbing video, which you have to see to believe.
Young captive minds, easily influenced, eager for direction, enlisted into a cult of personality focused on an individual who, other than being the first black president, has yet to accomplish anything of significance.
But Obama’s skin color has nothing to do with this. Does anyone interested in retaining their merit badge for intellectual honesty really want to argue that Condi Rice or J.C. Watts would’ve spawned a dozen-and-counting tribute videos?
This is about brainwashing our children into Leftist identity politics. Sure, the schools can argue that they had some kind of parental permission — which, if true, is somehow even more disturbing — but who even considers doing something like this with young minds? That’s a rhetorical question.
"We believe in Barack Obama
He loves you and he loves your mama
We believe in Barack Obama, yeah
With all the change he’s building
Gonna bring hope to the children
We believe in Barack Obama, yeah"
