GBTV - Where the Truth Lives

Election Season 2014

And it has brought us to this trainwreck called ObamaCare and we have bankrupted our kids and grandkids!

We are now headed into the 2014 Election Season and common sense and conservatism are on the rise. Please stand-up and be counted!

Reading Collusion: How the Media Stole the 2012 Election is a great place to start!

And remember the words of Thomas Jefferson "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

*The House of Representatives finally listened to the people and passed their stopgap funding bill (today) Friday to keep government open while terminating the new healthcare law, setting up a final showdown next week with Senate Democrats and President Obama who have firmly rejected that.

The 230-189 vote, which split almost exclusively along party lines, is the precursor to the big action next week, when the Senate is expected to strip out the health care provisions and send the bill back to the House — where Republicans will have to decide whether they can accept it at that point.

All sides are racing a Sept. 30 deadline, which is when current government funding runs out. The new measure would fund the government through Dec. 15, essentially at last year’s levels, and would leave the budget sequesters in place.

(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...

Rep. Michele Bachmann:

Washington, D.C. -- Congresswoman Michele Bachmann released the following statement after voting for a continuing resolution to defund ObamaCare and keep the government open.

“Today the House of Representatives listened to the will of the American people and voted to keep the government open while defunding ObamaCare. The President’s health care law is hurting economic growth, causing cutbacks in jobs and hours, and jacking up insurance premiums. We must save the American people from these disastrous consequences of ObamaCare while still keeping the government open. Even President Obama’s Big Labor allies are trying to exempt themselves from ObamaCare, declaring it will hurt the middle class and erase the 40-hour work week. ObamaCare is completely unworkable and deeply unpopular, and I will continue fighting until this train wreck is defunded once and for all so we can start over with free market, patient-centered health care reforms."

Please educate yourself and others and don't be fooled by the mainstream media spin that is coming. Former Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, who refused to work with the Republicans during the ObamaCare creation cycle, has already been spinning all afternoon!, actually for two days now!! The House has passed a budget bill 'with funding for everything' that our government needs to function, except ObamaCare, a program that will ultimately bankrupt us and destroy our quality of healthcare. The Administration will do everything to point the finger and push blame for shutting down our government on the Republicans (GOP). Don't be fooled, the only way the government gets shut down is if President Obama and his puppet Harry Reid cause it. The House "and the so-called bad negative Republicans" have passed a full budget bill while creating a way to open discussion on compromise and to make improvements on ObamaCare", not shutdown the government. It will be President Obama and the Democrats who chose to shut down the government, if that happens.

The goal is and always has been to force businesses to dump their employees into the ObamaCare Exchanges; ultimately creating a single payer system… Socialized Medicine! But not for the elite… Congress, Judges, the Executive Branch Employees, federal employees as a whole, friends of the elite and the Progressive system and the rich will have great healthcare, as good or better than they have or had before, but the average American They will be forced into socialized medicine run by government officials where they, and not the doctors  and health professionals, make decisions on treatments and treatment qualification… while 30-Million of the poor will still not have healthcare. But you can bet that illegal aliens and their kids will.

The unions finally figured that out and began speaking up… But last week their leaders left the White House smiling after a private meeting; any guesses as to why?

ObamaCare will guarantee that there will be two classes… and ObamaCare has been written so that the government will be involved in every aspect of American life!  This opportunity, that the House Republicans fought for, might be the last chance for Americans to stand-up and fight against this.

Just this week, both Home Depot and the Cleveland Clinic, that Obama has used as an example for his side, have announced that they will be dumping employees, either into the exchanges or laying people off, to prepare for the implementation of ObamaCare.  So you be the judge~

And the Republicans… they do want to negotiate!!!!

Don't be played!!

52%+ of Americans polled want ObamaCare Defunded completely. 72% are not happy with ObamaCare (and the number is growing) and they want changes if the program remains law. 30-Million Americans will still be without healthcare after this expensive disaster goes into affect. And members of the Federal Government and their friends will not have ObamaCare as their healthcare system; they will retain their Cadillac plans.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani Says Country Will Never Develop Nuclear Weapons in NBC INTERVIEW… Is the World Really That Naïve?

Video: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani NBC INTERVIEW Country Will Never Develop Nuclear Weapons  -  Is Anyone Really That Naïve?

Published on Sep 18, 2013:

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told NBC News on Wednesday that the country will never develop nuclear weapons and that he has the clout to make a deal with the West on the disputed atomic program.

"In its nuclear program, this government enters with full power and has complete authority," Rouhani told Ann Curry, NBC News national and international correspondent and anchor at large, in his first interview with a U.S. news outlet since his election.

"The problem won't be from our side," he said at the presidential compound in Tehran. "We have sufficient political latitude to solve this problem."

Asked whether Iran would ever build a nuclear weapon, Rouhani noted that the country has repeatedly pledged that "under no circumstances would we seek any weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, nor will we ever."

"We have never pursued or sought a nuclear bomb, and we are not going to do so," he said. "We solely are looking for peaceful nuclear technology."

Rouhani's comments are the latest in a slew of signs that he is cautiously open to defrosting relations with the U.S., which were in deep freeze under the isolating leadership of his predecessor, the inflammatory Mahmoud Ahmedinejad.

He and President Obama have exchanged letters in which they traded views on "some issues."

"From my point of view, the tone of the letter was positive and constructive," Rouhani said of the note he got from the White House congratulating him on his June election, in which he defeated five hard-liners.

"It could be subtle and tiny steps for a very important future. I believe the leaders in all countries could think in their national interest and they should not be under the influence of pressure groups. I hope to witness such an atmosphere in the future."

White House spokesman Jay Carney said Wednesday that in the letter, Obama told Rouhani the U.S. is open to a resolution to the nuclear impasse in which Iran can prove its atomic program is peaceful.

But he also conveyed the need to act quickly because the window for a diplomatic deal "will not remain open indefinitely," Carney said.

On another pressing topic, Rouhani was questioned about his views on Iran's close ally Syria and its promise to give up chemical weapons under the threat of air strikes from the U.S.

He said he could give no guarantees on behalf of Syrian President Bashar Assad, just days after he was quoted by his country's official news agency as saying he would accept any Syrian president elected by the people.

Fox News Contributor Lisa Diftari had quite a different take from the hopeful and naïve  mainstream media on Rouhani’s NBC Interview comments.  She warned that this was a play by Rouhani to improve the Iranian economy, which would take his people off the streets and in-turn take pressure off the Iranian government, buying Iran more time, funds and flexibility to continue their uranium enrichment program and to develop nuclear weapons!  As she warned, “In Iran’s case, the motto must be ‘guilty until proven innocent’”  Should America, Israel and the world really be naïve enough not to follow that line, everyone will be the loser in the end!

Judge Andrew Napolitano: If Officers at the Navy Yard Had Been Armed Casualties Would Be Much Lower

Video:  Judge Andrew Napolitano: If Officers at the Navy Yard Had Been Armed Casualties Would Be Much Lower

9/17/13 - (Fox News) - Judge Andrew Napolitano stopped by Fox and Friends to discuss the Navy Yard shooting and attacker Aaron Alexis. Brian Kilmeade asked whether we can conclude that the government missed some clear warning signs after reports that Alexis suffered from serious mental health problems. The judge likened this situation to NSA leaker Edward Snowden in that it's another example of the government being unable to properly vet a vendor or employee who received a security clearance.

"Whatever you think of Edward Snowden and the constitutional wisdom of what he did, the government didn't know he was there. The government obviously didn't know this guy was there," said Napolitano, who then pointed out that Washington, D.C. has in place some of the strictest gun laws in the nation.

He said officers at the Navy Yard aren't legally able to carry a weapon once they leave the building. Napolitano questioned why officers on military bases are not armed following Fort Hood and now this latest attack.

"Candidly, we have a problem with the military. If you cannot trust military officers to carry weapons on a military base after Ford Hood and after this, then people don't believe in the Second Amendment at all," he said.

Napolitano said if there were armed military personnel at the Navy Yard yesterday, the casualty figures would have been much lower. Plus, he said the presence of armed officers could have dissuaded the gunman from attacking in the first place.

The Council Has Spoken!! This Weeks’ Watcher’s Council Results

http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6135/5960901747_8fa7618229_z.jpg

The Council Has Spoken!, the votes have been cast, and we have the results for this week’s Watcher’s Council match up.

There is no traitor like him whose domestic treason plants the poniard within the breast which trusted to his truth. – Lord Byron

The first method for determining the intelligence of a ruler is to is to look at the men he has around him – Niccolo Machiavelli

This week’s winner by a nose, Joshuapundit’s President Obama Sends Support Message To Radical Muslim Brotherhood Front Group is a report on a very interesting official White House video message sent by our president to an even more interesting organization, whose history I detail. I also ask a question I have heard no mainstream journalist ask, but which I think America deserves an answer to..because it seems to shed light on much of President Obama’s foreign and domestic policy.

No slice this week, since it’s short and sweet..go to the link,watch the message, read what I have to say and draw your own conclusions.

In our non-Council category, the winner was Professor Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit fame, writing in USA Today with Obama is a Laughing Stock submitted by Joshuapundit. It’s about Syria and a masterful beat down of the president’s dangerously farcical performance. Do read it.

For those of our readers whom observe Yom Kippor, G’mar Hativa Tovah.

OK, here are this week’s full results. Only VA Right ! was unable to vote this week, but was not subject to the usual 2/3 vote penalty:
