Unions played a key role in helping the Moonbat Messiah to power. But that doesn’t mean they are crazy enough to want to live under ObamaCare:

The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) said it is worried that its members will actually lose healthcare coverage they have now once the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented early next year, reports The Hill.

Joe Hansen, president of the UFCW, a 1.3 million-member group that endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, wrote in an editorial published in The Hill that Obama’s claim at the 2009 AFL-CIO convention that union members could keep their current insurance under the new law “is simply not true for millions of workers.” …

Hansen’s concerns are shared by other labor groups. Last month, the president of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers issued a statement calling “for repeal or complete reform of the Affordable Care Act.”

Unite Here, a prominent hotel workers’ union, and the International brotherhood of Teamsters are also calling for changes, according to The Hill.

No need for them to get so worked up. Hope & Change means only those who can’t afford a seat at the table get screwed. Major unions are sure to get exemptions.

The same goes for the National Treasury Employees Union, which does not want to be subjected to ObamaCare, and which represents the IRS employees who have been so helpful in repressing the Tea Party (and who incidentally will become vastly more powerful as a result of the Orwellian Affordable Care Act).

It’s when the rest of the public wakes up to what ObamaCare will do to us that there could be a problem for our Community Organizer in Chief.

If you didn’t see this coming as a result of the Obama Regime attempting to homosexualize the military, head to LensCrafters at once:

The Defense Department survey of sexual assault in the military during fiscal 2012 estimated 26,000 assaults took place in the armed forces. … [An estimated] 14,000 of the assaults in the Pentagon study happened to men. …

Women are identified as the attacker in just two percent of all assaults, meaning most men who suffer assault are targeted by other men.

Good thing the Armed Forces are no longer expected to win wars, as the Commander in Chief is “not interested in victory.” They have enough on their hands dealing with the fallout of our twisted moonbat rulers’ social engineering schemes.

Now that we know how multiculturalism is working out in Britain, let’s check back with Sweden to see how it’s going there. When last we looked, Muslims were rioting again, attacking police and setting fire to anything that burns. As of last night, they are still at it:

Wednesday night saw more burning cars, smashed windows, and stone throwing at police in at least 15 suburbs around Stockholm, as the fourth night of riots swept the Swedish capital.

The unrest began shortly after 10pm in Husby, northwestern Stockholm where the riots began on Sunday night. Youths gathered in the town square, some of them masked.

Hagsätra in southern Stockholm came under fire at roughly the same time. A police patrol was attacked, and one officer was taken to hospital with serious injuries to the head.

By 2am, Stockholm’s fire service had attended 75-80 incidents across the city. Much of their work was delayed by youths throwing stones at them, meaning police were left to attend to the stone-throwers to allow the fire fighters access to the fires.

A restaurant went up in flames in Skogås, southern Stockholm. Police labelled the crime as aggravated arson.

In Rågsved, a police station was set on fire, with officers gathering young people in a police bus and escorting them away to other parts of the city.

Earlier in the week, the Religion of Peaceniks torched a nursery and a school. What else are welfare colonists supposed to do with their time, since earning a living is not required?

Europe is at the crossroads. It can reject political correctness, or it can die.

The good news: Obama finally got rid of the preposterous moonbat ideologue Steven Chu as Energy Secretary. The bad news: Replacement Ernest Moniz is a preposterous moonbat ideologue.

“Let me make it very clear that there is no ambiguity in terms of the scientific basis calling for a prudent response on climate change,” Moniz told Energy Department employees shortly after his swearing-in.

“I am not interested in debating what is not debatable,” Moniz said in his remarks at the Tuesday ceremony.

The reason global warming ideology is not debatable is that the liberals in charge would lose the debate. Despite rapidly rising carbon levels, there has been no warming since 1998, which proves their self-serving, politically driven, pseudo-scientific theories to be false.

Here’s why this screwball’s delusions matter:

Moniz is stepping into the Cabinet job at a time when President Obama has vowed new executive-level actions on climate.

The objective is to drive up energy prices in the name of their malevolent and utterly discredited ideology. Obama did warn us back in May 2008:

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times… and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.”

Yet people were foolish enough to vote for him anyway. America will continue to pay the price.

The question now regarding the IRS scandal is whether the White House knew it was targeting conservative groups. Here’s the answer:

Douglas Shulman, who led the IRS during the politically-charged targeting of Tea Party and conservative groups, visited the White House 118 times after that probe began, raising new questions about his claim he never revealed details of the probe to the president’s staff.

But Shulman says he didn’t talk to anyone in the White House about the issue at hand. Then what was he doing there over 100 times? Shulman’s answer:

Seeing is believing:

The arrogance of Obamunists almost exceeds their corruption.

Don’t pin your hopes on the Republican leadership in the Senate to save America from the catastrophic consequences of the Gang of Eight Quislings’ amnesty bill. From Breitbart (no link for now because their site seems to have a virus):

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has decided that “he would not block a vote on a motion to proceed” on the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill, The Hill reports.

As Breitbart News reported late Monday night, a coalition of Tea Partiers and conservatives from all around the country banded together to call on lawmakers to do exactly what McConnell has decided not to do.

In the letter, the Tea Party coalition sent to members of Congress including McConnell, the group specifically asked lawmakers to block the vote on a motion to proceed.

But there will be no filibuster, because McConnell wants it to proceed:

“I’m hopeful we’ll be able to get a bill we can pass here in the Senate.”

If your goal was to utterly destroy America — to completely wipe it from the face of the earth — you could come up with no better strategy than the one our enemies settled on: announcing to the entire Third World that anyone who sneaks across our undefended border will received citizenship and can live like a king (by the standards they are used to) without even having to work. The tide of culturally defective parasites will wash us away like a tsunami. Socialists will never lose another election.

McConnell is a member of the same party as Obama: the Treason Party. He hopes that appearing with Rand Paul is going to save him from a primary challenge in 2014. With any luck, Kentuckians will not be duped. But there will always be a feathered nest somewhere for members of the ruling class, even after America as we loved it is long gone.

Lay your napkin on your lap and get ready to tuck into a double helping of multiculturalism:

Two men wielding a machete and a cleaver hacked a man believed to be a soldier to death on a busy London street Wednesday while yelling “Allahu Akbar,” in an attack that was caught on video and left the nation shocked and horrified.

The victim, who some reports said may have been a soldier, was killed at the scene, and the attackers waited at the scene until police arrived and shot both. One attacker, his hands soaked in blood and still holding a machete, delivered an angry jihadist screed as stunned passersby watched, the dead man lying on the street, in the southeast London neighborhood of Woolwich.

This is what liberal governments are deliberately importing to displace the native population of Western countries. This is what they side with against the dying remnants of civilization.

Proclaimed one of the savages:

“We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you.”

The unspoken response: We swear by almighty political correctness that we will never stop sniveling and crawling and apologizing to you for existing.

At least Cameron admitted this was an Islamic terror attack. As Fort Hood made obvious, the US government would not have, lest Muslims be offended.

Witnesses said the attackers shouted “Allahu Akbar,” Arabic for “God is Great,” during the bloody rampage, according to the BBC.

Even now, this evidently needs to be spelled out: Islam is evil. Those who enable it are equally evil.

Civilized people in the streets of London would not be at the mercy of these demonic savages if liberals didn’t import them in vast numbers from abroad, luring them in with lax immigration policies and lavish welfare benefits in exchange for their votes.

One of the killers reportedly had a gun, not that he needed it. They could count on their victims not being armed, thanks again to liberalism.

Despite the oceans of blood it has spilled, Islam is only an opportunistic infection. The underlying disease that is rendering us defenseless to it is our ruling class’s left-wing ideology.

As we relax after the failure of the gun-grabbing bill in the Senate, America’s enemies are attacking our fundamental freedom by more deviant means — with help from their fellow authoritarian socialists at the United Nations. Comrade Obama will sign the UN’s “Small Arms Treaty” early next month. Forbes has listed a few things this treaty would do to Americans:

1. Enact tougher licensing requirements, creating additional bureaucratic red tape for legal firearms ownership.

2. Confiscate and destroy all “unauthorized” civilian firearms (exempting those owned by our government of course).

3. Ban the trade, sale and private ownership of all semi-automatic weapons (any that have magazines even though they still operate in the same one trigger pull – one single “bang” manner as revolvers, a simple fact the ant-gun media never seem to grasp).

4. Create an international gun registry, clearly setting the stage for full-scale gun confiscation.

5. In short, overriding our national sovereignty, and in the process, providing license for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment rights.

Aligning himself with a hostile power against the USA by signing this clearly unconstitutional treaty would dwarf the many other scandals for which Obama should be removed from office.

The Obama Regime did nothing to prevent the terrorist attack on the consulate in Benghazi, despite many warnings and pleas for help. As the attack took place, it continued to do nothing, despite still more desperate pleas. What has it been doing regarding Obama’s promises to punish the terrorists? You guessed it: nothing.

U.S. military sources serving in North Africa are challenging the latest White House claim that the administration is applying “all the resources” at its disposal to bring the Benghazi attackers to justice, charging instead that the Obama administration knows who is responsible but is not acting.

According to a US special operator, the Obama Regime “dropped the ball.”

The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirms that U.S. forces have tracked the alleged attackers since October but have since lost the trail of some of them, as no one up the chain of command would authorize them to capture or kill the targeted militia members.

A recent briefing by Obama’s spokesliar Jay Carney has those in the know rolling their eyes.

“Carney just said they want to bring those responsible to justice — that’s a big ole negative,” said one special operator who watched the press conference with part of his team and disputed Carney’s characterization of the administration’s efforts in the wake of the attack.

According to well-placed sources, the administration has known where some of the perpetrators are, based on information given to the Pentagon back in January, but no action has been taken to capture or kill them.

Further, sources said they are being restricted from any reconnaissance or advanced force operations to go after those responsible in the eastern part of Libya.

“We know exactly where the mastermind lives,” one U.S. official said.

The greatest military in the world is useless when it has to await orders from people who do not mean the country well.

Back when it wasn’t called for, Obama was aggressive in Libya. He violated the War Powers Resolution to help bring down Gaddafi, who no longer posed a threat to us. The outcome:

“The place is becoming a safe haven for Al Qaeda, and terrorists are being indoctrinated and trained. There are also known foreigners who are now traveling to Libya in the eastern mountainous regions, that are training to conduct attacks in Europe and throughout the region,” one source said. “If nothing is done you will see fallout of terrorist attacks on westerners on a scale unlike we’ve never seen.”

Obama did let us know in advance which side he would take should the political winds continue to blow in an ugly direction. Those who voted for him anyway deserve all of this. The rest of us deserve none of it.

Our hostile rulers don’t even pretend that the beneficiaries of the Gang of Eight Quislings’ amnesty bill will not immediately create a massive drain on the welfare system:

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Monday to allow illegal immigrants who get legal status to begin collecting tax-welfare payments, as the panel spent a fourth day working through amendments to the massive immigration bill and party-line splits began to emerge. …

In one vote, Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican, tried to prevent anyone but citizens and green-card holders from being able to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, which uses the tax code to transfer money to the poor.

But Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, said that would deny the tax credit not only to legalized immigrants but also refugees, asylum-seekers and other legal workers.

In case it isn’t yet obvious to everyone, what these Cloward-Piven traitors are doing is putting the entire planet on the American welfare system. All you have to do is cross a border that Republican Gang of Eighters Lindsey Graham and Jeff Flake voted to leave undefended, and you won’t have to work again until after the USA collapses.

Unfortunately for the tens of millions of Third World freeloaders who will flood our country after amnesty is rammed through, that won’t be more than a few years.
