Tea Party Members Way Different From Current Leftist Protesters.

(SHOCKING VIDEO) Liberal 

Wannabe Tea Partiers Trash 

American Values

43 6 0  52
The Tea Party was a turning point in American politics. After Establishment
 Republicans and Democrats came together to rob the American taxpayers
 blind with big corporate bailouts, and the Obama administration passed
 Obamacare, millions of Americans rose up, demanding limited government
 and a return to accountable democracy. They got it. 

Now angry liberals are trying to hold their own Tea Party, and they're off to a
horrific start. How bad is it? Well, I'll let Guy Benson explain:
Americans have a right to show up, and speak up, in public meetings with

their elected representatives. That civic principle applies to the anti-Trump

"resistance" just as much as it applied to the Tea Party. Americans also

 have a right to judge their fellow citizens' comportment and approach to

influencing the political process. The Left is organizing to swarm forums

held by Republican members of Congress, several of whom have

 demonstrated constructive methods of dealing with unruly and hostile

crowds.  The resulting confrontations are churning out made-for-television

moments for which the media has a bottomless appetite -- especially since

these aggrieved citizens are on the "good" side of things, unlike the

unseemly hoards in 2009 and 2010.  But here's what the sanitized and

curated evening news soundbytes aren't likely to show: In Louisiana on

Wednesday, Sen. Bill Cassidy hosted a town hall meeting to discuss

various policies, including Obamacare. The organized Left showed up

in full throat, behaving boorishly before the Senator even took to the

podium. They shouted and heckled throughout a pastor's opening prayer,

then many refused to stand or even maintain any semblance of decorum

during the pledge of allegiance, which was led by a local veteran. Deplorable:


These people are out of their minds. As Benson notes, they're also ignorant:
The rude, furious screeching of "separation of church and state!" betrays an

embarrassing ignorance of American history. Our founding document guards

against the intertwining of religion and governance by prohibiting the

establishment of a national religion, but the notion that a public prayer prior

to a gathering like this somehow violates the constitution is ludicrous. In fact,

the legislative body in which Sen. Cassidy serves opens each daily session 

with a prayer from its appointed in-house chaplain.  But the angriest shouters

weren't interested in facts or perspective, as their frenzied tantrums then

carried on through the pledge of allegiance.  One of their grievance themes

 is that Cassidy is a mean-spirited demon who wants to rip healthcare away

from innocent children. 
The Tea Party didn't succeed because it was well organized and well funded. 
It succeeded because it stood up for the interests of ordinary Americans.
 Unless liberals are willing to accept the diverse religious beliefs and interests
 of people on main street, they'll never make any headway. 

The long and short of it is this: Liberals dug a big hole the last eight years, and 
instead of trying to climb out, they're calling in the earth movers.

ObamaCrapCare Is Blasted By Chicago Tribune--Which Endorsed Obama Twice!

Guy Benson
Recommend this article 

withering editorial from President Obama's hometown paper -- which, incidentally, endorsed him in both 2008 and 2012:
As of Sunday, there's one month to go before the grand opening of the Obamacare online health insurance exchanges. Americans will be required to buy insurance or pay a penalty as of Jan. 1.  What will insurance cost in Illinois? What companies will offer coverage? With what benefits  That's part of the Obamacare guessing game here.  If you live in Utah, Ohio, Indiana or a dozen other states, you've seen your proposed rates. But if you're in Illinois, you're clueless. State officials still haven't released proposed rates....Illinois officials have submitted proposed insurance plans and rates to the federal government but won't tell the public what they are. Illinois folks say they are waiting on federal officials for final approval, but the feds keep pushing back the deadlines.  This didn't get much attention last week, but Reuters reported that the feds have slipped in another delay on finalizing agreements with insurers about the plans that will be sold through the exchanges. Those approvals won't come until mid-September. So we have to keep guessing.  Federal officials didn't explain the latest delay. But such deadline busters aren't a surprise. The feds have already missed more than half the deadlines in the rollout to Obamacare...Oh, and by the way, federal officials dumped another 300 pages of Obamacare rules on states and insurers just last week.

No wonder some major insurers don't want to touch the exchanges with a ten-foot pole.  The standards keep shifting, elements of the law are unilaterally delayedwithout warning, and pages of new regulations pile higher and higher by the day.  The Tribune editors upbraid Illinois' unresponsive and non-transparent state government for spending big bucks to sell a product that remains a confounding mystery to most consumers:
With a month to go, Illinois is scrambling to ready its online marketplace.The state is hiring 800 temporary workers to help people navigate the confusing maze of Obamacare coverage options and subsidies through still-to-be-tested, likely-to-be-glitchy computer systems. What could go wrong?  Ahem. More than 4 in 10 Americans still don't have a clue that Obamacare is coming and that coverage is mandatory, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll released in August.  Illinois is gearing up to launch a massive marketing and information campaign to explain Obamacare, to be orchestrated through a $35 million contract with FleishmanHillard. The company has a huge job to do.  Our suggestion is simple: If you want to persuade people to buy something, tell them how much it will cost and what they will get. In Illinois, that's still anyone's guess.

Elsewhere in Obamacare news: (1)Employers are looking to avoid being saddled with massively increased costs, but are concerned that temporary evasion schemes may come back to bite them.  (2) Workers are on track to be "blindsided" by Obamacare's open enrollment process, even if it goes off without a hitch -- which is essentially impossible.  (3) As Katie notedyesterday, Big Labor is furious with the law they supported, and thousands of members are jumping ship.  (4) The Heritage Foundation enumerates lingering concerns in advance of next month's Obamacare roll-out deadline.  Tick tock.  I'll leave you with an ad the NRSC is running against Louisiana Democrat, Sen. Mary Landrieu:

Rather than fetishizing Europe, Landrieu should educated herself on the funding crisis (and resulting rationing) that has plagued France's healthcare system in recent years.  And is the Senator really suggesting that we ought to model any of our fiscal policies after Spain?
