Duck Dynasty Founder runs Afoul of Cable Channel

December 21, 2013December 21, 2013Allen Frederick 3 Comments

Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has been put on indefinite hiatus by A&E after making anti-gay remarks in the January issue of GQ.

“We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty,” A&E said in a statement to USA TODAY. “His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely.”

USA Today article

Duck Dynasty‘s Phil Robertson said in an interview with GQ, the A&E reality star, 67, makes plain his thoughts on homosexuality. “Everything is blurred in what’s right and wrong,” he complained. “Sin becomes fine.”

The devout Christian then paraphrased a biblical passage: “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers — they won’t inherit the kingdom of God . . .Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.” US Magazine

⁹ Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, or anyone practicing homosexuality, ¹⁰ no thieves, greedy people, drunkards, verbally abusive people, or swindlers will inherit God’s kingdom. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (HCSB)

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, or GLAAD, condemned Robertson’s remarks. (Via A&E)

“Says GLAAD spokesman Wilson Cruz: ‘Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil’s lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe. … Phil’s decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E.” (Via USA Today)

Let us disregard the very fact that Mr Cruz paints with the same broad brush that he accuses Phil Robertson of using.

“Duck Dynasty” is one of A&E’s most popular shows, regularly pulling in close to 9 million viewers each week.

So what is the big D***ing deal anyway? Haven’t we heard worse from TV celebrities in the past? Why is this ‘big news’?

The Vice-President has been heard to proclaim that Obamacare was a “Big f****ing deal. Not many heads spun on that outcry, and no one asked him to resign his position.

What about Jon Stewart‘s profanity laden ‘faux news’ “The Daily Show”? Why isn’t anyone up in arms over all the offensive lines he utters? Of course he could not keep silent on the Duck Dynasty’s talk of shame and he offered us this brilliant piece of s*** journalism… Jon Stewart Takes Aim at Duck Dynasty Star

And let us not forget that ever lovable, never offensive, Steve Colbert. Let’s see what he has to say about this whole ‘duck affair’… Colbert Mocks Phil Robinson. Anyone offended and asking Comedy Central to ban him from the air waves?

Leave it to MSNBC to not miss out on an opportunity to chime in with their irreverent rants on morality and societies ills. Host Chris Hayes with guest Richard Kim (sounds like he may be a bit gender confused) ponder whether Phil Robertson and Bobbie Jindal should engage in anal intercourse. Is anyone calling for their removal?

HBO comes through with a daily dose of Bill Maher’s filthy commentary like this one. Bill Maher shoots some sheep

If talking about body parts is cause for removal from cable TV why not remove this classless clown?

The reason this is a big deal is because Phil Robertson touched one of the progressive’s sacred cows. It is perfectly okay to mock Christians, Jews, TEA Party members, Conservatives, Republicans and the rich but do not speak ill of those whom the left embraces and upholds as sacrosanct.

Romans 1:28-32 (HCSB)

²⁸ And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong.

²⁹ They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,

³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

³¹ undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful.

³² Although they know full well God’s just sentence—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do them, but even applaud others who practice them.

It really is no big surprise, or even newsworthy that those who hate God will be offended by anyone who happens to love God and actually quotes the bible. The persecution of Christians has been around as long as there have been Christians. Jesus told us that Christians would be hated.

Matthew 5:11-12 (GW)

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, lie, and say all kinds of evil things about you because of me.

¹² Rejoice and be glad because you have a great reward in heaven! The prophets who lived before you were persecuted in these ways.

What Phil Robertson was saying is that sin is bad and included homosexuality as one of many sins that will keep you out of a right relationship with God and shut the gates of heaven to anyone who continually engages in sin.

Phil Robertson did not equate homosexuality to sin God did. The problem people are having with this whole thing is that there is a real God that must be dealt with. Human nature wants to sweep God under the rug and ignore the reality of God’s presence in this world as well as a coming judgment from God.

So Christians should just shut up about sin and crawl into a hole somewhere and keep their thoughts and opinions to themselves. On the other hand those who espouse a secular world view are encouraged to speak loudly and boldly about what they believe and are encouraged to teach as many others as they can into believing as they believe. They are given prime time, cable TV shows, appointed to positions of influence in society, write the opinion pages of many newspapers, and hold high positions in education, and government. Christians however are singled out for dismissal.

As Christians we are commanded by Jesus to go and teach everyone about the Kingdom of God and in so doing we are to expect opposition and even persecution. So kudos to Phil Robertson who was doing exactly what Jesus asked him to do. Going and telling.

And that is the way I see it. What say you?

ObamaCare is Working Just as it was Planned

December 3, 2013December 3, 2013Allen Frederick Leave a comment

Did you hear what Obama said? Do you really care what Obama says?

Speaking from the White House Tuesday afternoon while flanked by people who have “benefited” from Obamacare, President Obama said his signature piece of legislation is working. The speech was part of a new public relations campaign to try to salvage what’s left of the disastrous Obamacare rollout.
“About a half million people are poised to gain health care coverage…and that number…will keep on growing,” Obama said while ignoring the more than five million people who have lost their health insurance thanks to Obamacare. “This law is working and will work into the future.”

Yes indeed the Obamacare law is working its magic like it was designed to do. The law was never intended to actually HELP anyone but government potentates gain more power and control over our lives.

Here is how the Obamacare law is working. It is DRIVING UP HEALTH CARE COSTS, causing grumblings from the American people, which is precisely what Obama intended. He wants the people upset and crying for a FIX to this mess and then he will come riding in on his TROJAN horse and bring with him Government run healthcare.

You see this law was never intended to actually lower costs and make dealings with your insurance companies better or the relationship between you and your healthcare provider more secure, its sole purpose was to dislodge you from your secure, privately held and managed healthcare programs into one that is completely controlled by the central government. So for its intended purpose the LAW IS WORKING and will continue to work its havoc until such time as the government gets what it wants. THE ABILITY to decide who lives and who dies, as a matter of law and a way to cut costs.

The government aim is to make the healthcare system more efficient. HOW YOU ASK? Simple if no one actually gets any health care the system is very efficient since everyone will die before actually getting care, thus there is nothing to pay out and the government gets to keep all that money they have stolen from you with the promise of HEALTHCARE.

Yes my friends I am afraid OBAMACARE is working. It’s just not working for you and I and my friends Obama doesn’t care. There is NO CARE in Obamacare and that’s the truth.

The Fix is In Really It Is, Trust Me…

ObamaCare Fix as Bad as ObamaCare Itself | FrontPage Magazine
Wed Nov 20 2013 18:36:07 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)

Last Thursday, to extricate himself from the political consequences of repeatedly and shamelessly lying to the American public, President Obama proposed a “fix” to ObamaCare. ”Insurers can extend current plans that otherwise would be canceled into 2014 and Americans whose plans have been canceled can choose to re-enroll in the same kind of plan,” the president said. ”This fix won’t solve every problem for every person, but it’s going to help a lot of people. Doing more would require work with Congress,” he added, again dismissing the legislative branch of government as an unnecessary impediment to implementing his agenda. Unfortunately for millions of Americans, the fix is as disastrous as ObamaCare itself.

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/arnold-ahlert/obamacare-fix-as-bad-as-obamacare-itself/

Who can forget all the promises made by Obama while trying to enact the ObamaNoCare act which he wanted to fool the American citizens into embracing. If you have forgotten here is a recap of all the lies that were sold to the American people.

Democrats feel political heat despite ObamaCare ‘fix’ | Fox News
Wed Nov 20 2013 18:55:29 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)

President Obama’s fix to reverse millions of insurance cancellation notices may have eased slightly the pressure he faces, but Democrats at state level still face political trouble and fear what it may mean for the 2014 midterm elections.

One such Democrat is West Virginia Rep. Nick Rahall. The 19-term veteran, a perennial target in a GOP-shifting state, was one of many Democrats who recited to constituents Obama’s assurance that they could keep insurance coverage they liked under the 2010 health care overhaul.

This promise proved untrue and ignited an uproar that eventually forced Obama to reverse himself and on Thursday propose the fix that he claims will allow consumers to keep their plans. The debacle has sent many Democrats scrambling into political self-preservation mode ahead of the 2014 elections.

Rahall was among 39 Democrats who, despite a Obama veto threat, voted Friday for a Republican measure that would let insurers continue selling policies to individuals that fall short of the health care law’s requirements. It was approved 261-157.

“I’m concerned about my integrity with voters who have returned me here for 38 years. They know me enough to know I wouldn’t purposely mislead them,” Rahall said this past week. “They have that confidence in me, and I want them to continue to have that confidence in me.”

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/11/16/democrats-still-feeling-political-heat-despite-obamacare-fix/

We simply can not trust those who lied to us repeatedly to fix the mess they created. Are we really that gullible to expect these lying politicians to actually care about what is good and right after spending so much political capital to sell us on this huge FAIL? If they lied to us to implement this mess do you really think they intend to tell us the truth about fixing it?

All this talk about a ObamaNoCare fix is simply political posturing in hopes that ‘we the people’ will forget how we got this nightmare in the first place. The only thing these lying politicos want to fix is their own campaigns and political aspirations.

Instead of real solutions we are being bombarded with show trials, phony House bills, and a constant barrage of the airwaves with all the ills of ObamaNoCare while these same news outlets were complicit in the implementation of this disaster from day one. When someone actually did stand up and to shed some truth on this disaster the media shouted them down and berated their character.

Ezekiel 34:18-19 (GW)
¹⁸ Isn’t it enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you trample the rest of the pasture with your feet? You drink clean water. Must you muddy the rest of the water with your feet?
¹⁹ Must my sheep eat what your feet have trampled and drink what your feet have muddied?

As usual the ones who pass these laws make sure that they do not have to abide by them but make sure that the rest of us do. These politicians have theirs and then they trample all over the good grain so as not to leave anything behind for the rest of us. It is they who are causing all the ills in our society, and yet they wipe their mouths and say don’t look at me.

America we have bigger problems to contend with than just Obamacare. We must not forget about Solyndra, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS Scandal, and NSA snooping. The fact is if there wasn’t so much lawlessness happening on all levels of government a horror story like Obamacare would never have happened. But it did because of all the kick-backs. buy-backs, threats, and strong-armed tactics of those pushing for more and more power over individuals.

When most people think of tyranny, and totalitarian government, they think of rigid rules and harshly enforced laws. But what tyranny and big government really involves in the majority of cases is a lot of politically connected law breakers. Regulations offer opportunities for bribery or kickbacks in many ways. Laws can be selectively enforced so that some criminals get protection and offer an unofficial income stream to the ones responsible for enforcing the law. In a democracy, criminals can get the vote out in neighborhoods and then expect favors in return from the winning candidate.

This is political life as usual especially in urban areas where unions make sure that ‘their man or woman’ gets elected to keep up their grip on the purse strings of the well-connected. These racketeers pay off politicians to receive favorable laws or regulations that punish their competition and rewards them with graft and kick-backs, in return they fill the coffers of the politicians and the cycle starts all over again.

We really ought not to be surprised by any of this since this is how things work in D.C.

Yes my friends all is not well in America, and to remedy our ills we need to swallow the painful pill of truth. Washington is not the cure to what ails us it is the cause. And those who made the mess are not qualified to clean up the mess since they really like muddying things up.

This is a view from the nest. And that’s the way I see it, what say you?

But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness. _{Isaiah 40:31 (BBE)}

Bait and Switch: In Pursuit of YOUR Happiness

November 10, 2013March 30, 2014Allen Frederick 1 Comment

Health Care for All! L1190421 (Photo credit: erlin1)

noun

: a selling method in which a customer is attracted by the advertisement of a low-priced product but then is encouraged to buy a more expensive one

: a sales tactic in which a customer is attracted by the advertisement of a low-priced item but is then encouraged to buy a higher-priced one

2 : the ploy of offering a person something desirable to gain favor (as political support) then thwarting expectations with something less desirable

“If your child asks you for bread, would any of you give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if your child asks for a fish, would you give him a snake? ¹¹ Even though you’re evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. So how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him? Matthew 7:9-11 (GW)

“Bait and switch” is a well-known deception used by con artists who promise a non-existent good deal and then switch to what they call a better deal that is neither needed nor desired by their “mark.”

Our health care political hucksters are the latest to try this shameful stunt. They told us, repeatedly, “You can keep your plan and your doctor if you like them, I promise, period!”

But with the new law being implemented we find that, all along, it was written in such a way that possibly millions will have no alternative but to switch to different government-mandated, undesired plans.

In response, some ranking politicians say it’s all for our own good, which reminds us of their end game — to implement a “single payer system” managed by the federal government. It will then be obvious that there is no escape from the government-mandated plan whether you like your plan or not.

They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you. 2 Peter 2:19 (NLT)

This is not the first time nor will it be the last time that “big government” will promise some grand idea that is supposed to make life better for those who are forced to take part. There is a long list of broken promises and “bait and switch” programs that have proven to be “not as advertised”.

ObamaScare’s House of Horrors

November 2, 2013April 14, 2014Allen Frederick Leave a comment

Just when you thought it was safe, after having been lulled to sleep, the nightmares are about to begin.

Something wicked this way comes hiding deep inside the belly of the beast we know as ObamaScare. Whether or not the website problems get fixed there is no escape from this horror show coming to your house. This nightmare will have you missing sleep for many days to come.

By now almost everyone has heard the horror stories since the roll-out of ObamaScares sign-up began. Well fasten your seat-belts because the horror show has just started and there are many more scarey stories to come. If you have not been sufficiently scared off by the initial phase of the ObamaScare road show, brace yourself for even greater horrors to come.

First up huge deductibles:When consumers finally do get onto the Healthcare.gov website, they are in for a new kind of sticker shock. Avik Roy of the Manhattan Institute has exposed the high cost of Obamacare premiums — the next price shock will be the whopping cost of the deductibles.A Chicago Tribune analysis showed that 21 of the 22 lowest-priced plans offered for Cook County residents on the Illinois exchange have annual deductibles of more than $4,000 for an individual and $8,000 for family coverage.(Deductibles are the money consumers must spend on health care before most insurance benefits kick in.)

The huge deductibles along with the hefty premiums turns what once was a health insurance plan into a self-insurance plan. When you add up the premiums you must pay, and then add in the huge deductible, plus the additional out-of-pocket expense to pay the co-pay in any given year it maybe cheaper to simply pay for your health expenses as they occur and put the premiums you would have paid into a HSA (health savings account) for future expenses. But since Obamascare is now a MANDATE and you MUST buy a policy you are being forced to part with your money to essentially get absolutely nothing in return.Why are these premiums so high, this policy design is a direct result of the law’s instructions about the percentage of average health costs that insurance must cover (60 percent for Bronze, up to 90 percent for Platinum plans).

ObamaScare #2 Will people pay?

The Congressional Budget Office expects 7 million people to enroll in health insurance through the exchanges by 2014, and it needs about 2.7 million of them to be “young healthies” who will enroll, and pay premiums that are higher than their age or health status would warrant because of the law’s regulations. Enough Americans may enroll, but will they keep up with their premiums month after month?

The first month of the new health law’s rollout reveals an unexpected pattern in several states: a crush of people applying for an expansion of Medicaid and a trickle of sign-ups for private insurance.

This early imbalance — in some places, nine out of 10 enrollees are in Medicaid — has taken some experts by surprise. I guess they really where not experts after-all if they could not have foreseen that the FREE MEDICAID plans would see an influx of sign-ups while the EXPENSIVE private-care plans would not. I personally believe that this was the plan all along, to make it as easy for people to sign-up for the FREE PLAN and as difficult and unaffordable as possible for everyone else because the end game is to get everyone under a Federally run and administered health-care plan.

Low enrollment in private insurance, meanwhile, could increase premiums as it would likely indicate that only sick people, who really need coverage, were signing up. And the experts could not foresee this? Really those of us who are not experts knew this was going to happen.

ObamaScare #3 Attracting the sickest:

Sicker Americans, with high health costs, are the ones most determined to get through the Healthcare.gov website to enroll. If they dominate enrollment, premiums will have to rise in 2015, discouraging even more young healthies from applying in the future. The industry calls this a “death spiral.”

Again couldn’t the experts predict this? I believe they did know all this and it did not matter because once again this whole nightmare is not about providing the best possibly program for the most American citizens, the current private-sector programs would not have been tampered with, what it is about is gaining control of an individuals health-care.

Thousands get health insurance cancellation notices

Oct. 18, 2013 at 2:55 PM ET Health plans are sending hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters to people who buy their own coverage, …

Nbcnews

Health plans are sending hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters to people who buy their own coverage, frustrating some consumers who want to keep what they have and forcing others to buy more costly policies.

The main reason insurers offer is that the policies fall short of what the Affordable Care Act requires starting Jan. 1. The new policies supposedly will offer consumers better coverage, in some cases, for comparable cost — especially after the inclusion of federal subsidies for those who qualify. Now that is a big caveat, if you do not qualify for a federal subsidy (read taxpayer support) then your premiums will most likely be much higher.

So now you are not only paying for your own plan, plus those who are already on Medicaid, now you are going to be asked to help pay for your neighbors plans as well. Face it folks we are being seen as a REVENUE source and not as individual human beings with lives. We are being subjected to this tyranny.The law requires policies sold in the individual market to cover 10 “essential” benefits, such as prescription drugs, mental health treatment and maternity care, whether you need them or not. That’s right guys your policies will now have to cover your maternity care. What you say you do not need maternity care? Too bad you will have to buy it anyway.

In addition less expensive alternative plans are being outlawed.

ObamaScare #4 Less Expensive Plans Vanish

As previously stated since these “catastrophic” health plans do not contain the “required” basic coverages they are not permitted to be sold. And despite Obama’s continued claims that if you like your policy you can keep your policy, you can not.

ObamaScare #5 Families lose out:

Obamacare’s subsidies will mean that the federal tax code’s existing marriage penalty will get much bigger for certain Americans, especially older, middle-income couples. Families will have to reckon with the fact that remaining married could cost them $10,000 a year or more because single people with lower incomes qualify for bigger subsidies.

ObamaScare #6 More Jobs to be lost:

The Obama administration delayed for a year reporting requirements for the mandate that companies provide health insurance for their employees. But with those provisions coming into effect in 2015, employers will continue to restructure their businesses to stay under 50 employees and push workers under 30 hours a week to avoid the hefty fines that will be used to enforce this regulation.

Andrew Puzder, chief executive of CKE Restaurants, wrote in The Wall Street Journal that “the evidence that Obamacare is having a negative impact on hiring is unequivocal, abundant and consistent with common sense.” Job creation will continue to suffer.

ObamaScare #7 Identity Theft and Fraud will explode

Tens of thousands of “navigators,” “assisters,” and other agents are being hired, generally by nonprofit organizations, to help people apply. They will be gathering personal information, such as one’s Social Security number, address, income, employer’s name and address, children’s names and birthdates, and health habits, to find out if you qualify for Obamacare subsidies. Others are going door-to-door to get people enrolled, and there is no easy way of determining if the person at your door is legitimate. While these aides do receive some training, they’re not professionally licensed and don’t go through the background checks required of insurance agents and brokers. Even temporary census workers had to meet tougher standards.

The Obama Administration itself is warning that con artists will take advantage of confusion over the law to steal people’s identities.Beyond the potential for one-on-one fraud, security may be inadequate in the giant government “data hub.” This warehouse of detailed personal information of everyone in the exchanges will be available to people in many different government agencies. The security of that database still has not been independently tested and verified.The risks of potential identity theft are very real, and 13 attorneys general have expressed deep concerns about the security of the exchanges’ information. When this starts happening, it will generate a new wave of negative coverage of the law.

ObamaScare #8 Repaying Federal Subsidies

It’s going to be very important to accurately indicate annual income on one’s insurance application. Those who understate income, either because their situation changes or they reported inaccurate information, and therefore get a larger subsidy than they are entitled to will be required to repay the excess, possibly amounting to thousands of dollars. And since the IRS is in charge of enforcing compliance you can see how this is going to end badly for the individual

ObamaScare #9 Losing your Doctor

To keep rates from going even higher, insurance companies have limited the doctors and hospitals patients can visit.

Many insurers have opted to limit their selection of doctors in some exchange plans to keep premiums and other costs down. And they are also excluding large academic medical centers, which are often pricier because they tackle sicker patients and more complex cases.

“The sticker price will be lower if the number of options are lower,” said Joe Mondy, a spokesman with Cigna (CI, Fortune 500), which is participating in five state exchanges. “The issue is how many options can you do without?”

For example, WellPoint (WLP, Fortune 500), a Blue Cross Blue Shield insurer that offers policies in 14 states, is narrowing its networks in many markets after research showed consumers care more about the price than the provider.

In areas with a heavy concentration of doctors, WellPoint might offer Obamacare plans with only half the number of doctors available in its off-exchange plans, said Colin Drozdowski, vice president of provider engagement and contracting. But where there’s less choice, the network might be only 10% to 20% smaller.

Insurers are also restricting participants access to doctors through HMO plans that don’t offer out-of-network benefits. So patients have to stick to a certain set of physicians and hospitals or foot the full bill themselves.

President Obama said that buying insurance through the exchanges would be like shopping at Amazon.com. We all know how “truthful” Obama is by now right? Instead of simply clicking a few buttons online, many people will spend hours following up with phone calls, emails, and faxes. As recently as two weeks ago, government software couldn’t reliably tell people the correct price for their insurance or their subsidies. Again all of this is by design, because the end result is the government wants as many people enrolled in a Federal Insurance plan like Medicaid so as to make it almost impossible for any future congress to end the program. This nightmare is going to have more sequels then Freddy Kruger.
