Unintended consequences on steroids or?

Posted By Greg Shaffer

http://bearingarms.com/scotus-ruling-sex-marriage-mandates-nationwide-concealed-carry-reciprocity/?utm_source=bafbp&utm_medium=fbpage&utm_campaign=baupdate

So it would seem the liberal leaning SCOTUS just shot themselves in the foot with their latest venture into social engineering decision regarding gay marriage via unintended consequences.....

Now I don't have a problem with gay marriage unless Bociphus is trying to marry ME at gun point.....but one has to wonder if they considered the genie this decision pops out of the bottle.

OR perhaps this is yet another step towards nationalizing gun control?....No doubt there will be some liberal apoplexies at the state and local level in some states over this one regardless.

My jury is still out.......but I am entertained no doubt lol

Brilliant simplification of Obamacare

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Great summary by a Notre Dame University engineer.........He left out step 5 which I am adding below......

Here are the 10,535 pages of Obama Care condensed to 4 simple sentences..

As humorous as it sounds.....every last word is absolutely TRUE!

1. In order to insure the uninsured, we first have to un-insure the insured.

2. Next, we require the newly un-insured to become re-insured.

3. To re-insure the newly un-insured, they are required to pay extra charges to be re-insured.

4. The extra charges are required so that the original insured, who became un-insured, and then became re-insured, can pay enough extra so that the original un-insured can be
insured, so it will be 'free-of-charge' to them.

5. Additionally, for the newly un-insured who cannot afford to become re-insured at the higher rates they implemented a system of fines for not becoming re-insured thus creating the largest circle jerk in US history.

They then hid these 5 simple steps in 10,535 pages of legalese insuring the actual taxpayers would not figure it out before it could be foisted upon them.

It is thus that SOCIALISM aka PROGRESSIVISM aka COMMUNISM is being shoved down our throats.

Brilliant isnt it? Thank the salesman in charge.......Obama!

A few simple questions for this adminstration

Posted By Greg Shaffer

I am getting damn tired of this terrorism boondoggle. In just a few minutes the other day a few questions came to mind when I read about the targeting of 129 tanker trucks by 4 planes that were hauling the source of most of the terrorist funds.

1. 4 planes were sent and destroyed 129 tankers? Why the hell not 100 planes?

2. Why has not every oil well, every processing facility, every tanker related to ISIS been targeted?

3. Why has this not happened long ago?

4. Why is not EVERY single country buying this ISIS controlled oil living under the most severe economic/trade sanctions ever imposed?

5. Why isn't every NATO (at minimum) member country participating in making those four questions a reality?

I suspect the answers to these 5 simple questions would be interesting indeed.

Man...it just keeps coming

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Now we find out that the female terrorist who participated in the San Bernadino killings had a face book account that confirmed her terrorist status that they were not allowed to review as part of her visa vetting process because of some politically correct bullshit Obama implemented.

Additionally planned parenthood has been steam cooking fetuses and dumping them in land fills....

Whats next?

Something to consider

Posted By Greg Shaffer

As astronomers here is a rather interesting thought on whom to vote for President. Most of us have a grasp on the possibility of intelligent life somewhere out there besides here.

When you go to the polls consider this premise. They land in your yard and say "Take me to your leader!" While the scenario is unlikely the question has validity. Whom would you consider out of the choices would you be least worried about introducing them to as our leader? I know I would be embarrassed to take them to Obama lol. I would have concerns over introducing them to Trump's personality. I damn sure wouldn't want to introduce them to Hillary, she would probably offer them a red reset button. smile

Not all that ridiculous a question is it?

Hey I will admit to having enjoyed Bowie's music back in the day and still do occasionally but I find the fact that over 7500 people are buying into this to be quite sad when I consider the level of intellect it indicates.

Debate assessment

Posted By Greg Shaffer

My assessment of last nights irritating 2 hours.

1. By far the most aggravating part of last nights debacle was Rubio and Trump's 2 hr rendition of Cat Scratch Fever.

2. Kasich as usual was calm and collected but also quite boring in the sense that he is like a broken record. If only he could find something to say other than repeating the same mantra every time he gets a turn I might be able to like him a bit more. It would appear that he is going to be the new GOP establishment push with Rubio dissolving into the shadows.

3. Cruz purported himself fairly well. He avoided harmonizing with Rubio and Trump's rendition of Cat Scratch Fever for the most part.

4. I thought the Fox anchors did a decent job for a change, they definitely seem to have reigned Kelly in quite a bit.

All this being said I don't want Trump for President and never have.....However, if he wins the nomination I am a firm believer in the will of the people and will line up holding my nose to vote for him. I will hope that he will at least stick to some of his promises. His recently revealed healthcare plan does actually sound pretty good.
