GOOD NEWS! Far left activist organizations to serve as “navigators” for entitlements

I’m not even going to comment, because I already have, several times. I’m just going to quote JohnInFirestone, who sent along this pair of links: “Politically connected, far left lefties with almost unlimited access to personal data. What could go wrong?”

Okay, so maybe I’ll add one tiny little comment: This is part of a ruling class effort to put a stake in the heart of limited-government activism by defeating it logistically.

And yes, I think the establishment Republicans are supportive of this effort, else why in hell would they have voted for a comprehensive immigration reform bill that does precisely what the ObamaCare law does, which is contract out recruitment efforts to those who want to create a dependency state.

With that dependency being on government. Leading to an increase in power and influence and a diminishing of checks available to combat that power grab.

Score!

    Paid navigators. With our tax dollars.
    It’s a federally funded activist workforce with no oversight, unlike our current activist federal workforce – IRS, EPA, etc..

    What we have here is the exercise of powerful, well-oiled and highly polished CommunityOrganizing®© at it’s finest.

    Use it or lose it. Give the OFA BarkyDevils their due: they know how to use it.

  3. rrpjr says:

    Unbelievable. Just mind-boggling. Where is the outrage? Boehner? Bueller?

    SEIU and Planned Parenthood and OFA in charge of intimate personal data of Americans. They’re just “in your face” at this point. We’re done as a country — certainly the GOP is done — if this isn’t slapped down hard and fast.

  4. Squid says:

    You can be guaranteed that any wooly-footed Hobbit who dares speak up against Leviathan is going to be met by accusations that he’s a dangerously unstable individual who has been treated for schizophrenia and paranoia a number of times in the past.

    Protest all you want that it’s all a pack of lies. Guess what? Your federal health records will tell a different story. And all because some federal drone “accidentally” set OFA’s access levels to read/write, instead of read-only. Whoops!

  5. BigBangHunter says:

    – The absolute legion problems that America faces, directly attributable to a “post racial era” president and the Progressive Lefts politics since Bumblefuck took office, and this is what the Lefturds and social media think is an over the top issue that needs full attention.

  6. sdferr says:

    Since power seems to be at the center of contention, maybe a reexamination of power is what the country class needs to undertake, for the purpose of determining if it happens that they have a good deal of it sitting around going unused? I mean, shit, the country class outnumbers the ruling class by a huge proportion, so combining even smaller quanta of their own powers ought to far outstrip the ruling classes’ best efforts.

    Or are the people of the country class just content to be slaves?

  7. George Orwell says:

    The answer is short, and you’re not going to like it.

  8. George Orwell says:

    I figured after Black Nixon was first elected, we would look like France in twenty years, but without the good food and historic architecture. Looks like it will only take ten years. After Chris Christie gracefully concedes to Cankles in 2016, by 2018 She will establish a whole new bureaucracy: La Comité de salut public.

  9. sdferr says:

    Yah, I know both, i.e. already don’t like it, but took a shot at shaming as a spur to action (forcing the country class to thinking, that is). But hey, if it doesn’t work, I’m open to other suggestions.

  10. sdferr says:

    Charley Rangel kinda has a point: since the contemporary university education isn’t worth a fuck, what’s the sense in kids paying anything for it? That is, it stands to reason it ought to be free of charge. But leave it to Charley to bugger his own suggestion, as he doesn’t follow through to suggest the nation quit paying salaries to the morons staffing the institutions.

  11. Shermlaw says:

    They’re just “in your face” at this point.

    That’s because they plan to never lose power.

  12. Ernst Schreiber says:

    OT: Seems to be some .223 trickling back onto the market. I saw Winchester 55 gr and 64 gr softpoints priced at $1.00/rnd and 62 gr fmj at $ .80/rnd at my local Ace Hardware this morning.

    Thought I’d mention it in case anyone was looking to add to their base metals and dry chemicals investment portfolios.

  13. bgbear says:

    lead has turned into gold

  14. bgbear says:

    Maybe the Rs just need to get out the message that the Ds whole plan is to use your tax dollars to buy votes.

    Of course someone will say that both sides do it but, I think the evidence is overwhelming on which side is better at it.

  15. Ernst Schreiber says:

    This gold is more affordable, holds it’s value better and will still be a universlly accepted medium of exchange when gold —to say nothing of American Express, that storied piece of plastic granny says was accepted everywhere— won’t get you a bite to eat.

  16. Ernst Schreiber says:

    both sides do it but, I think the evidence is overwhelming on which side is better at it.

    The Hobbits resent it when the other side uses their hard earned money to buy votes, and it become positively annoyed when their side tries the same thing.

    Why to you think the GOP is so desperate to import a new base for itself?

  17. George Orwell says:

    Did y’all catch this?

    Judicial Watch obtained Defense Department training materials on Friday that described conservative and civil liberties organizations as “hate groups.”

    The training materials used by the Air Force were created to help students “recognize extremists ideologies.” The materials identified conservative values, such as individual liberties and states’ rights, as recruiting rhetoric used by “extremists.”

    According to Judicial Watch:

    Under a section labeled “Extremist Ideologies” the document states, “In U.S. history, there are many examples of extremist ideologies and movements. The colonists who sought to free themselves from British rule and the Confederate states who sought to secede from the Northern states are just two examples.”

    Via weaselzippers

  18. bgbear says:

    I have notice that when there are accusations of the “both sides do it” when it come to “buying” votes, that the things conservative want never really benefit them directly.

    heck who would want something like “free guns,” the gov’t would never give away anything really cool, it would probably have extra safety devices, tracking devices, warning labels. . .

    No one wants micro ID tags on Nerf bullets.

    we’re governed by a jim jones death cult.

  21. sdferr says:

    Yeah, and?

  22. LBascom says:

    I hear New Mexico’s Supreme Court rules Christian wedding planners must participate in homosexual sex rituals (SSM) now.

    So much for freedom of religion…

    Only if you want to be a real citizen of the USA.

    Hey!

    That’s Latte Nixon to you, pal.

  25. JohnInFirestone says:

    I prefer “treasonous mulatto scum dweller” (not my term for him, but if the shoe fits…)

    Surprised we (the PW community, that is) haven’t talked about this paragon of racial tolerance

  26. RI Red says:

    Ernst, my local merchant of death in NH has never jacked up his prices, still keeping his old discounted prices when he gets stuff in. I’m still getting .223 at under $0.40/ rd.
    And no, I’m not giving out his name, but will take orders at only a very slight 100% markup.

  27. cranky-d says:

    I try not to pay more than $.50 a round for anything.

  28. BigBangHunter says:

    – Our wonderful summer of Mayoral fun and games is a casebook study of where a Progressive Democrat eventually gets to in their political agenda’s and abuse of power. The local Dems had to be dragged kicking and screaming to get rid of the bastard, and even now after he finally agreed to resign if the city picks up his legal expenses and gives him his remaining salary, and of course the huge pension that he was elected specifically to protect for the city unions, some of the Dems are hiding rather than vote and lose their base support. Bastiches.

    – And so it goes. Fuck all of them sideways with a halibut.

  29. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Who said anything about merchants of death? I was approached by a commodities broker.

  30. geoffb says:

    Proggie dream world.

    He’s faced down lynch mobs many times, really, really, really.

  31. geoffb says:

    Can his announcement of a committee to study running for President be long in coming?

  32. BigBangHunter says:

    – The president?…. Yeah, well he has his own “difficulties”.

    “Hagel said a determination on the chemical attack should be made swiftly because “there may be another attack coming,” although he added that “we don’t know” whether that will happen.”

    – You think Einstein?

    – Maybe Foodstamps will finally be forced to do something, anything if Hezbellah manages a chemical attack on Manhattan, but with Bumblefuck I doubt it. He’d probably call an emergency session of the UN and ask them to do a fucking study. His intention is obvious for the remainder of his term. He’s not going to do anything that could fail in any way, or that he could be blamed for. If it wasn’t for the horrendous civil/racism problems hes incited/inflamed since he took office, it would seem like he was never there in the White House.

    OT just slightly..

    James Taranto’s been riding a steam roller the last two days, making Al Gore, after his ‘my happiest moment EVAH!’ interview as performed by deep-cheeks Ezra Klein, look like Saint Corrie of Pancake..

    It’s not surprising that Al Gore put on weight after he lost that election. The guy has more whoppers than a Burger King. Yesterday we noted that in an interview with the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein, Gore had misrepresented the content of his own movie by characterizing his outlandish “climate change” doomsaying as having been merely an accurate prediction of last year’s weather.

    Suddenly Gore’s strategy is clear: He wants the global warming debate to follow the civil-rights model–or, perhaps more precisely, the identity-politics model of the post-civil-rights era.

    You can understand the appeal of this approach. Identity politics has enormous cultural influence. If you belong to a group that acquires accredited victim status, influential people will tie themselves into knots to satisfy whatever demands you make. The reductio ad absurdum is the kerfuffle over what pronouns to use in reference to Bradley Manning, who following his sentencing on espionage charges declared that he is now a “woman” named “Chelsea.”

    Worth reading, it is.
