Obama Uses Fear Tactics in an Effort to Save Obamacare : By Onan Coca
from Doofiegirl on 06/12/2015 09:06 PMPresident Obama delivered a speech before the Catholic Health Association on Tuesday in an effort to continue trying to sell his bad Obamacare legislation. The topic of his speech was health care in America and Obamacare. Unsurprisingly his chief tool for persuasion was fear mongering. Speaking of conservatives' efforts to repeal the socialist healthcare scheme that is wreaking havoc on our economy and that sacrifices the freedom of American consumers on the altar of socialist good intentions he said,
It seems so cynical to take coverage away from millions of people. To take care away from the people who need it the most. To punish millions with higher cost of care and unravel what has woven into the fabric of America. His attempts at fear mongering are ironic, because in the very same speech he chastised conservatives for doing the very same thing. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2015/06/09/obama_obamacare_part_of_rugged_individualism_that_defines_america.html
And despite the constant doom and gloom predictions, the unending chicken little warnings that somehow making health insurance fair and easier to buy would lend to the end of freedom, the end of the American way of life, lo and behold it did not happen, none of this came to pass.
Here's the problem with almost everything that President Obama said in his speech on Tuesday. He is completely and utterly wrong. Just last week, the Washington Examiner wondered if Obamacare would ever actually be able to sign up enough people. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/obamacares-big-question-mark/article/2565614

Decorated Green Beret whistleblower reveals he could have saved US hostages in Pakistan but was foiled by 'dysfunctional' government coordin
from Doofiegirl on 06/12/2015 08:31 PM
Lt Col Jason Amerine told a Senate committee Thursday he had crafted a trade for several hostages that was overruled by the State Department
Amerine's deal would have secured the release of several Americans and Canadians held in Pakistant
An eventual deal for Sgt Bowe Bergdahl was reached in 2014 that saw the release of five Taliban prisoners that had been held in the US
Another hostage, Warren Weinstein, was accidentally killed in a US drone strike in January
By PETE D'AMATO FOR DAILY MAIL ONLINE
Speaking in front of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday, Army Special Forces Lt Col Jason Amerine said he was under scrutiny from the FBI for his criticism of US hostage rescue protocols.
'Colin Rutherford, Joshua Boyle, Caitlin Coleman and the child she bore in captivity are still hostages in Pakistan. I failed them.'
Coleman is an American held hostage along with Boyle, her Canadian husband, while Rutherford is a Canadian tourist who was taken by the Taliban in 2010, the CBC reported.
According to his testimony, Amerine was asked by General John Campbell, the top US commander in Afghanistan, to develop a strategy for the rescue of Bowe Bergdahl, the US Army sergeant who had been held by Taliban forces as a hostage beginning in 2009.
'In early 2013, my office was asked to help get Sgt Bergdahl home,' Amerine testified. His staff 'determined that the reason the effort failed for four years was because our nation lacks an organization that can synchronize the efforts of all our government agencies.'
'We also realized that there were civilian hostages in Pakistan that nobody was trying to free so they were added to our mission.'
Amerine's experience in the region stretches back to 2001, when he worked with forces under Hamid Karzai to take on the Taliban, who then held power in Afghanistan.
He was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor and the Purple Heart in 2002 for his actions in the field.

Country singer Randy Howard is killed in gunfight with bounty hunter
from Doofiegirl on 06/12/2015 08:16 PMA bounty hunter trying to detain a country music singer wanted on a DUI charge shot and killed the man in a gunfight at the singer's home, authorities said Thursday.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was looking into the circumstances of Tuesday night's shooting of 65-year-old Randy Howard, agency spokesman Josh DeVine said in an email.
Howard was a member of country music's 'Outlaw' movement, which rejected Nashville's polished music in favor of a rougher sound. Howard shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Jr., and has written songs for Hank Williams III, according to Howard's LinkedIn site.
Hank Williams III posted a picture on his Facebook page Thursday of him and Howard smiling together under the words, 'RIP Randy Howard.'
Howard had been charged with fourth-offense DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and driving on a revoked license, DeVine said. But he missed a court appearance, DeVine said.
Howard's friend Terry Dotson told Nashville TV station WSMV that he had tried to drive Howard to his court appearance, but the singer brushed him off.
'He said he wasn't going back to jail. That's what he told me,' Dotson said.
On Tuesday night, bounty hunter Jackie Shell showed up at Howard's home to take him into custody, DeVine said. Howard opened fire, Shell shot back and Howard was killed, DeVine said.
DeVine said Shell was injured in the shooting, but didn't say how badly. Shell's mother, Mary Jane, told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that her son underwent surgery.
He embraced the term 'redneck.' In an interview with the AP in 1983, he said redneck — a derogatory term for poor, white rural Southerners — doesn't have to be offensive.
'It can be positive,' he said. 'When I play clubs, I ask if there are any rednecks out there. I get a good response whether I'm in New York or Miami.'
