While awaiting Commonwealth Courts decision on Guzzardis candidacy [remember, hes atop Corbett], a few items-of-interest are providedwith

necessary commentary; the action-items to be pursued [personally, but support is always welcome] have become otherwise consolidated, focusing on the Mandatory Holocaust Education legislation [lengthy memos provided over the weekend to key-people, to be followed-up by phone calls to people-in-the-know in both chambers]; Kurdistan recognition [perhaps those with national-reach who receive these blast e-mails may wish to enhance efforts by Sherkoh Abbas (and others) to petition BHO to shift his Syria policy towards arming true-friends]; and the generic desire to help people use precise terminology [which should stimulate the ability to cite accurate references] when debating issues on all three legs of public policy [domestic/foreign/social].

ObamaDontCare A leftie [Edward-Isaac Dovere, from Politico] wrote that Obama's challenge is not to blow it, despite his alleged history of watching his victories slip away before fully capitalizing on them. This is presumably based on his having met the 7.1 million threshold, despite the fact that simple arithmetic dictates an alternative viewpoint. A key-point has been lost on most pundits, in that they will occasionally note the offset is problematic [14 million dropped] without noting the apple/orange difference. Specifically, whereas the former represents individuals more often than families, the latter represents far greater numbers of families; therefore, the total-tabulation of the number of people in each camp has been blunted [although no one appears to have discerned just how much]. Perhaps, at least for Pennsylvania, someone may wish to provide these basic-data, so as to amplify how flawed this effort actually is. Other accrued-hyperlinks illustrate its ongoing, disastrous impact on Middle America: REPUBLICANS EXPANDED OBAMACARE Insurance cancelled for 1800 children in NJ HHS Started Obamcare Applications For Americans, Without Consent States Signing Up Prison Inmates for Obamacare Pelosi: Dems 'Very Proud' of ObamaCare, Those Running Against it Are 'the Exception' Bobby Jindal's let-the-states-experiment-with-their-own-solutions plan Democrats Join GOP Fight Against Medicare Advantage Cuts Lawmakers Who Voted for Obamacare are [somewhat] Proud Video: Senator Mark Pryor Doubled Down on ObamaCare - Says He'd Vote For It Again Again, Ted Cruz nails it, by citing the 'Broken Window' Theory of ObamaCare When I was marveling at the spectacle of Barack Obama killing six million insurance policies, then celebrating the "achievement" of selling those people more expensive coverage at gunpoint, I compared it to Obama running a tire

shop with a line of tire-puncturing spikes deployed on the road outside. "Wow, shame about how your wheels just blew off! Lucky for you we sell tires here! You'd best buy a set, before the cop up the road arrests you for driving on four flats!" Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) made the same point with a reference to the classic "Broken Windows" fallacy outlined by Bastiat.

2nd Amendment vs. Gun Control Item #1/#2 remains the linkage between the five-freedoms in #1 and how the Founders/Framers vowed to protect them in #2 [referring to the Bill of Rights]; although some may claim these hyperlinks could be off-setting, others [including myself] see those that would undermine fundamental-rights as weak and those reinforcing them as strong. The right to bear arms has allowed people to protect themselves [Female Homeowner Shoots, Kills Intruder Entering House with Knife and Burglar Flees, Leaves Partner Behind When Confronted by Armed Man], dwarfing concern that lapses in home-security could yield an epidemic of shooting accidents [Woman stole dad's guns for drugs]; this is why, although the libs are invoking Camp Hood #2 to promote confiscation [Juan Williams reacted to Army Spc. Ivan Lopez's heinous crime at Fort Hood by saying he wants "America to be a gun-free zone" and Sen. Tim Kaine claimed the Push to Arm Soldiers on Military Bases is Motivated by Politics], conservatives are trying to tamp-down undue publicity [FOX NEWS'S MEGYN KELLY, SEAN HANNITY REFUSE TO USE FORT HOOD SHOOTER'S NAME], are opposing confiscation [Thousands of 2nd Amendment Rights Supporters Attend Rally at CT State Capitol], and are focused on the nitty-gritty of how law-enforcement occurs [Stolfer: PA Instant Check System not fair, efficient, and constitutional]. Perhaps inadvertently, Bob Costas Challenged 'Angry,' 'Extreme' Second Amendment Protectors to a Bet in a fashion that reflects how hyperlinks are chosen for these blast e-mails [and Id take him up on this bet, based upon prior compilations]: Heres what I would say to anybody who any time they hear the word guns automatically goes off, like, Oh, theyre going to repeal the Second Amendment, Lets make a bet, you and me. Lets say over the next five years well do a Google search. Well have an independent party monitor it. You keep track of how many good and constructive things are associated with athletes having a gun, and Ill keep track of all the tragedies and criminality and folly. And lets see who comes out ahead or behind as the case may be.

As presaged supra, focus on #2 yields erosion of #1 [The Danger of the Left's Collective View of Rights], most recently manifest when NBC's David Gregory commented on McCutcheon v. FEC by claiming [targeting the GOP, not Soros]: 'Here's A New Reality -- American Democracy For Sale.'

Culture War It may be noted that my view of marijuana laws is consistent with that of the majority of Americans; simply put, its not sufficiently dangerous to be restricted, particularly noting its potential medical use [although anecdotes are sometimes problematic], although Medical marijuana still scares most high profile PA politicians despite massive poll popularity. Although Corbett wouldn't legalize pot even if his toddler grandson needed it [and feels this issue should be handled on the Federal level], there appears to be a broad consensus that state-level experimentation [federalism] is preferable. Regarding the utilization of law-enforcement, it would seem that denying this access drug to smugglers would yield far fewer targets for more dangerous drugs. This posture doesnt deny the fact that it is mind-altering, but it elevates personal-responsibility as the driving-force when [for example] dealing with driving-cars; ultimately, however, it may be wise to delay a final position until elsewhere-experiences are gauged. {Also: Chris Christie Will 'Consider' Legalizing Edible Marijuana for Adults.} Regarding what happened after the Mozilla CEO was Destroyed for Same Gay Marriage Views Expressed by Obama and Clintons [Hillary Clinton Worse On Marriage Equality Than Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich], George Will expressed a view of Gay Rights Activists ['No One Likes Sore Losers But Now We Have Sore Winners'] comparable to my reaction [as captured on these blast e-mails]. Others have also decried such fanaticism, and some have promulgated tit-for-tat reactions [CONSERVATIVE WEBSITE NOW BLOCKS FIREFOX TO PROTEST ANTI-CHRISTIAN DISCRIMINATION and GAY REMARKS PROMPT BACKLASH FOR OREGON BUSINESS OWNER]. As a result, Mozilla Clammed-Up As It Reaps a Whirlwind Of Disapproval. Indeed, it seems a perpetual victim psychology animates how BHO wants to perpetuate class-conflict ['Living wage,' unaffordable products and SEIU TO PLACE $15 MIN. WAGE ON SAN FRANCISCO BALLOT], pseudoracism [Obama to Headline Al Sharpton Conference and, just posted @ Drudge: SHOCK CLAIM: SHARPTON WAS FBI MOB RAT!], and To Keep Focus On War On Women Rhetoric [despite the fact that Obama is still paying women less than men]. {Also, Conservative Artists Shouldn't Wield Left's Ideological Cudgel in Culture War.}

Yet, the media is increasingly divided; although MSNBC remains solidly-lib [Harry Reid: MSNBC Host Joy Reid 'Tells It Like It Is'] and SNL predictably Spoofs 'Fox & Friends' and Neil DeGrasse Tyson, SNL Mocked GM CEO Mary Barra's Congressional Testimony [although it couldnt get itself to cite the billions given to Government Motors by The Forgotten Taxpayer]. Also reflecting evolving moods is the fact that Letterman Finally Boosted his Ratings...By Quitting (Still Lost in Demo); the box-office reflects this, also, when 'CAPTAIN AMERICA' CAPTURED FIRST PLACE ['NOAH' SUFFERS BIG DROP] having generated positive reviews [Movie review: 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier']. In my view, when Redford is in a flick that attacks BHOs drone policy, the public is forcibly enlightened and can be prompted to see limits when security concerns are consistently cited by BHO; and when the major fault in Noah is that the protagonist wants to kill his grand-daughters [to fulfill what he claims to have been the Creators will], its viewable as a despicable [soap-opera-like] tangent rather than an overall indictment of Humanity. Ominous, albeit good for Philly, is the MERGER effort by COMCAST [based on how it allegedly BOUGHT THE DEM PARTY]; as Comcast GETS BIGGER, concern must be expressed regarding loss of competition. {Also, watch how Mickey Rooney Got Emotional while Reflecting on His Career in a Final Interview.}

Foreign Policy It has been possible [via these blast e-mails] to have caught-up regarding key-issues affecting the Middle East, but it remains desirable to promote a recently-published piece [by Abbas, Sklaroff & Puder] elucidating why America Must Recognize the Kurds]; note that Syrian Civilians Rebelled Against Al Qaeda and Sunni Jihadists in Lebanon Prepare for War with Hezbollah. Yet, the baseline ego/intransigence within BHOs coterie apparently persists, manifest when Rahm Emanuel showed he has Learned Nothing About Foreign Policy; Emanuel is declaring Middle-East geography [specifically, surrounding Israel] irrelevant in the same arrogant, hubristic tone with which President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry have dismissed Vladimir Putin's distinctly "19th century" interest in the Crimea. This has been characterized as Obama's attention-deficit diplomacy, and it simultaneously enrages/disgusts/unnerves. {Also, Liz Cheney Slammed 'Very Sad' Dianne Feinstein for Senate CIA Interrogation Report.} Putin is increasingly provocative, as BHO remains 100% inert.

PA-Politics Again illustrating the problems the Establishment-GOP is having with conservative-reformers are Emails that provided a behind-the-scenes look at how Ex-Sen. Mike Waugh became head of the Farm Show; editorialists explored how-scott-wagner-can-be-productive, as the national civil-war within the GOP is manifest in myriad ways, such as when the American Conservative Union scorecard was caught skipping gas tax legislation vote. Noting that Major road improvements are headed for the suburbs due to the tax-hike, I have raised the possibility that selling the State Stores could offset this 28-cent tax hike enough to yield its being rescinded by the November Election, thereby [retroactively] allowing Corbett to claim he didnt violate his no-tax-hike pledge; most monies to be expended are now budgeted (memory suggests more than $2 billion is to be expended, while there are a few hundred-thousand dollars to arise from the gas-tax-hike). Nevertheless, as it now stands, Corbett has both broken this pledge and that related to not hiking fees [as higher car-registration costs were effective on 4/1/2014]. Many of these issues are fleshed-out in both articles and commentaries in myriad recently-uploaded publications, most of which stem from the weekends PLC-meeting [Toomey and Santorum give conservatives what they want at annual gathering and

Micek: For Gov. Corbett, a sound conservative base is still a rocky shoal]; again noted is a reference to Sandusky and, whereas Conservatives-hoping-Corbett-can-turn-the-tide, Dems-hope-Corbetts-woes-boost-Congressional chances. Compounding the concerns of incumbents are troublesome data [PA residents lack trust in state government, 75% of Americans Believe Politicians are Corrupt, and PA tax burden ranks 10th nationally] that can only be compounded by corruption-related pieces AG-Kane records release could unravel legislative 'naked corruption' scandal, Bumsted: post-sting, PA House's integrity is at stake, Heyl: $58M PA Turnpike contract was a steal, PA Senate President's chief counsel: total gift ban could be unwieldy and difficult to enforce, and Rampant overtime spiked city employees' pensions in Philly]. {Also, PA prescription pill abuse is 'epidemic.'} Cook-political-report-examined-pa-house-races and noted, regarding PA-13, Margolies is the frontrunner when it comes to name ID, but her low cash on hand totals and reliance on her Clinton family connection could backfire. In that case, Leach and Boyle each have constituencies that should turn out for them and may propel them to victory. Arkoosh is a dark horse who can end up surprising everyone thanks to her prodigious fundraising. {Meanwhile, on the Guv-level, SCHWARTZ HAS HIT THE AIR.}

GOPs Civil-War Peter Schweizer claimed that Conservatives, Libertarians, Millennials Uniting Against Crony Capitalism, but it is difficult to notice this as the battle-lines are increasingly vivid between the GOP-Establishment and the TEA Party Movement; as Moronic Meddling in Minnesota has been occurring [via D.C.] and Matt Bevin has been 'Called of God,' per Glenn Beck, Kentucky Tea Party Activists Use Left's Community Organizing Tools. Angering Conservatives further is the fact that Green Energy Subsidies Passed Senate Finance Committee by Voice Vote, undermining the Republicans claim that they are unable to roll-back anti-free market policies with their limited control of the federal government, for one would expect them to block renewals of bad policies once they have expired. Angering Conservatives still more is the fact that, although School Districts Began Exodus From Common Core, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Released a One-Sided Common Core 'Mini-Documentary.' It is, therefore, not surprising that efforts are being made to promote Jeb Bush for POTUS-16 [Jeb Bush to 'Make a Decision' at 'End of the Year'], even as he is both wrong on Common Core and Illegal immigration [termed an 'act of love' and then rationalized thusly: 'Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony']. Not to be ignored, although obviously in the penumbra of Ted Cruz, RICK PERRY noted JOB REPORT SHOWS TEXAS KEEPING AMERICA AFLOAT.

Meanwhile, Sarah Palin Endorsed Pete Ricketts for Nebraska Governor and Clobbered Bill Clinton in Late-Night Ratings; the clip of the skit has gone viral, having been viewed nearly 1.2 million times on YouTube in less than two days, while none of Clinton's three segments with Kimmel has even been viewed 150,000 times. The rationale for noting BHOs Scandal-Sheet in this category is concern that Congress has not been investigating sufficiently expeditiously. Regarding the NSA, the SCOTUS Refused Speedy Review of its Phone Program; regarding the IRS, IRS agent testimony: No progressive groups were targeted, despite claims by Dems and media, as a Vote to Hold Lois Lerner in Contempt of Congress is Scheduled for Next Thursday [recalling that the DOJ Refused to Appoint Special Prosecutor]; and regarding Benghazi, there is More Obfuscation [Testimony by the former acting head of the CIA makes clear that Congress's current approach isn't sufficient; a select-committee is needed, per MICHAEL B. MUKASEY] as Lindsey Graham again concluded the Benghazi Talking Points Were Changed to Help Obama Reelection.
