The bloodied sun sinks in the west
And lights us all with glory;
Here sleep the brave in honored rest;
The bugler tells our story;
O dulce et decorum est pro patria mori;
O dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

Soon the Supreme Court will hand down its decision on the constitutionality of Obamacare. Their decision is crucial for our future as a Republic as well as for the next election, which might be our last chance to roll back Obamacare and the rest of the “fundamental transformation of America” that Obama wants.

Obamacare is designed to funnel everyone into one system, where unelected bureaucrats will decide what kind of care you get.

And what kind of care you can’t and won’t get.

One thing that becomes more apparent by the day is that Barack Obama is at best prevaricating when he pretends to come from a humble background. The soon-to-be-released book by David Maraniss, excerpted by Vanity Fair magazine, reports that both of Obama’s white college girlfriends were wealthy and from prominent families, as were his many Pakistani friends. What are the odds that all of Barry’s chums were rich?

Studies show that as many as one third of children in the U.S. are overweight or obese. Diabetes among children and teens is on the rise, and it is harder for them to control the disease.

Michelle Obama’s focus as First Lady is on physical fitness. She hosts exercise workouts in the White House for the Biggest Loser reality TV show.

Too many times over the past few weeks, Barack Hussein Obama II has alleged that he was NOT born with a “silver spoon” in his mouth. But he most certainly was! FACTS turned up by our team here at WTPOTUS, supported by our intrepid force of Internet, library, and newspaper researchers and commenters, have proven that this man grew up in circumstances that many in today’s America would envy.  To wit:

The Hypocritical Los Angeles Times – Open Thread

In 2003 a dinner was held to honor former PLO “operative” and anti-Semite Rashid Khalidi.  Barack Hussein Obama II attended that event, which was videotaped.  Obama spoke at the event.

 

During the campaign of 2008, Obama’s attendance at the dinner became an issue in the campaign, not only because Rashid Khalidi was guest of honor, but also because Khalidi was good friends with unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers whose wife is unrepentant, radical, Charles-Manson-praising Bernardine Dohrn.  It was rumored that Ayers and Dohrn were also in attendance.

Pay your “fair share” of taxes. 

Hate the rich (but not Obama).

Hate the 1%, like Mitt Romney, who probably pay less than their secretaries. 

Do as I say, not as I do.  In a Friday afternoon document dump, the Obamas released their tax return:

We examined the case of Trayvon Martin in Florida in a previous post.  In that story, the case of Patricia A. Cook of Virginia was also introduced.

The difference in media exposure for these two cases was stark.  While Martin’s case received major on-going national coverage, Cook’s case was reported locally, even though some important parallels are apparent: 

Blessed Passover and Happy Easter. Open Thread.

Shalom!  On Passover may you rejoice in your traditions and always be blessed with the rich and bountiful gifts of life.  Rabbi Philip R. Alstat said that faith

gives the oppressed the strength to outlive the oppressors and to endure until the day of ultimate triumph when we shall “be brought forth from bondage unto freedom, from sorrow unto joy, from mourning unto festivity, from darkness unto great light, and from servitude unto redemption.”

And so, have faith!  Blessed Passover.

Four different stories in today’s news point out the corruption and/or arrogance of the Democrat Party and its leaders–like a fish, rotting from the top down.
