ObamaCare on it's 5th Anniversary

Here is the reality of Obamacare on the 5th anniversary of it's enactment. These are pretty much on target with the sentiment across America. Latest Rasmussen poll has the country 58% to 42% in favor of repealing ObamaCare in it's entirety.

The SCOTUS case King v. Burwell has been argued and is being debated among the judges in order to arrive at a decision.  Applying the letter of the law they should render a decision which will eliminate the subsidies in the 30+ states which have not created state run health Care exchanges.  This will effectively gut the law and show ObamaCare for what it is, a communist inspired income redistribution scheme which is as anti American as any law ever written in the history of America.  The sooner it goes away, the better off the entire country will be.

Comments from the Western Journalism article titled "Obamacare's fate?":
Comment #1:
"never before has Government hounded and persisted in insisting compliance as they have with this Obamacare issue. They have failed to meet expectations, so instead of revisiting the law, they push back deadlines, yet again and again. When unions complained of unfair treatment, special exceptions were instituted. All the while, the very people who voted this garbage into law are themselves exempt! Don't know about anyone else, but this skunk stinks so why not call it as you smell it?"
Comment #2"
"I LOST MY DOCTOR. PERIOD
I LOST MY POLICY. PERIOD.
I GOT NO 2500 SAVINGS PER YEAR. PERIOD.
ALL I GOT HAVE BEEN LIES...
LIES LIES LIES AND MORE LIES...it's working if you like losing your doctor. period. it's working if you like losing your policy. period. it's working if you like not saving the $2500 per yr the president said you would save per family
can i believe anything else coming out of this white house???
as a life long democrat i suggest the obama administration and democratic senate scramble to grunt obamacare into the toliet and flush it like you would any unwanted feces. it's that bad. if they can not see this, they are in denial and doomed to being the minority party in the future. take care of the few that have no insurance and get out of the way for the rest. why are you screwing 90% to help the 10%??? no $2500 dollar savings for anyone i know. most are double triple increases, unless you are poor or illegal.... and on medicaid that gives substandard care. time to wake up my fellow democrats......time to wake up america."

Yes America, it is time to wake up.  The more the government takes the more America becomes a second class nation.  We need to eliminate the travesty which is ObamaCare and replace it with a market centered private insurance system in which the individual owns and manages their policies.  One in which you the individual decide what is right for you and your family and you the individual chooses the doctor who is right for you and your family.  The reality of ObamaCare is that you no longer have this right.  We as a nation must eliminate ObamaCare in order to regain our rights as individuals.

Another act of lawless deception by President Obama...

The President is now using an executive order to attempt a back door method of gun control by banning "green tipped" .223 bullets commonly used in the AR-15 rifles for target practice.  His reasoning is that there have been variations of the AR created recently which are pistol versions of the firearm, that these "pistols" fire the Green tipped bullets which are "armor piercing" and will penetrate police body armor killing cops.  As any AR-15 target shooter knows, the Green tip signifies that the bullet is 62 grains rather than the lower weight 55 grain version.  These bullets are lead filled and not of the solid core, armor piercing variety as claimed by the President.  Further, every high powered handgun or long gun (rifle) is capable of piercing most of the lower grade types of body armor worn by police while on every day patrol.


This is just another example of the most outrageous of lies being fed to the pulp fiction supporters of President Obama. IE...those who are so willing to accept anything he says without another thought that they become zombies to his anti-American agenda.



Let's examine the facts of Obama's claim...Police officer murders. The best method of examining this claim is to review the actual number of police officer murders.  We can then review the actual ability of pretty much any centerfire rifle and even most high powered handguns to shoot through soft body armor generally worn by police. 



The best resource for understanding the threat to police officers is the annual FBI report on Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted. A look that this report shows that in 2013 (the most recent data available), 27 police officers were murdered in the United States with firearms. Of those, the table of types of weapon used shows that ALL RIFLES COMBINED accounted for 5 murders. Eighteen officers were murdered with handguns, and three with shotguns. In the other case the type of firearm was not listed.



Of the five officers murdered with rifles, two were murdered with .223 rifles of any type. 



Table 41 of the report reveals exactly zero deaths occurred in 2013 because the victim's body armor was penetrated. To reiterate, not a single officer died in 2013 from having her/his vest penetrated by any caliber firearm. Regardless of the fact that the vast majority of officers wear Class III or lower grade body armor which won’t stop a bullet fired at close range from a large caliber handgun.



In fact, the same table shows that only 3 officers have been killed since 2004 by any .223 or 5.56x45mm round penetrating any type of vest. One death occurred in 2004, one in 2008, and one in 2011. There is no indication that any of those involved M855 or higher than class III, rifle-resistant armor. During the same period between 2004 and 2013, 7 police were murdered through their vests from hunting caliber rifle shots (.30-30 Winchester, 7mm, .308, or .30-06), 5 were murdered through their vests using 7.62x39mm the caliber used in the AK-47 Russian military rifle, and 385 were murdered with ordinary pistols and revolvers, almost all of which involved hits to unprotected areas of police who were not wearing body armor. 



After actually analyzing the data, it is obvious that the number of annual police officer deaths that would be averted by banning M855 "Green Tipped" ammo is zero. The .223 round is rarely used to murder police officers, and in the rare event it is, it rarely involves vest penetration, ie... where the body armor of any kind is worn.



The consideration is to look at murder in general. The best source for this information is the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, particularly Table 20, Murder by State and Type of Weapon. According to the UCR, there were 12,253 murders reported to the FBI in 2013 across the entire United States. According to Table 20, all rifles combined accounted for 285 of these murders. That is less than 3% of the total number of murders, and it includes all the cops murdered.  It also includes all the murders committed with the AR-15 type rifles as a part of the whole.  So considering that the number of police officers murdered by a rifle is a subset of the 3% of those murdered by rifle and that the AR-15 type rifle is a subset of the number of murders by rifle and that the number of AR-15 rifles firing “green tipped” bullets at during the commission of a police homicide is a subset of the police killed by AR-15 type firearms and we then apply this small subset to Obamas claim of AR-15 pistol conversions being used to kill cops, the odds of a police officer being killed by a “Green Tipped” .223 bullet shot from an AR-15 type firearm converted to a pistol are about as long as that same police officer winning the Powerball lottery.



Bottom line, this is just another case of an outlaw president believing he is above the law and pushing his illegal usurpation of his office to the extreme.  If we, the American people don't push back in the most strenuous terms, he will continue to take our freedom until we have none left.  At least some in the legislature understand this and are standing up for the Patriots, the rule of law and the good of America!
