Blacksmith drops some science on the idiotic “9-11 truthers” who still claim jet fuel couldn’t compromise the twin towers

I don’t know who this guy is, but he is truly awesome. Finally, he completely disproves the moronic 9-11 truther argument that jet fuel wouldn’t have been enough to compromise the structural integrity of the twin towers. He does it so deftly that it only takes him two minutes using plain English that’s so simple, even the stupidest 9-11 truther should be able to understand it. The twin towers were knocked down by Islamic jihadists, not a conspiracy of American government officials.

Health Premiums Have Climbed $4,865 Since Obama Promised to Cut Them $2,500

redbloodedamerica:

poorrichardsnews:

Remember when Obama said that Obamacare would save the average family  $2,500 per year on insurance premiums? Yeah, it didn’t exactly happen. In fact, it wasn’t even close. In fact, premiums have gone up by nearly $5,000. Yay government!

From Investors Business Daily:

Employer-based health insurance premiums climbed 4.2% this year for family plans, according to an annual Kaiser Family Foundation report. That’s up from 3% the year before.

Since 2008, average family premiums have climbed a total of $4,865.

…“We will start,” Obama said back in 2008, “by reducing premiums by as much as $2,500 per family.”

That $2,500 figure was Obama’s mantra on health care. You can watch the video if you don’t believe it.

And Obama wasn’t talking about government subsidized insurance or expanding Medicaid or anything like that. He specifically focused on employer provided health care.

For “people who already have insurance, and the employers who are providing it,” he said at one campaign event, “we will work to lower your premiums by up to $2,500 per family.

Read the Rest

The article does note that while the rate of increase of premiums has slowed somewhat in recent years, it has been in spite of Obamacare, not because of it. In fact, that slower trend began in 2006 and was largely due to an increase in the use of HSAs. Furthermore, he said that the rate was going to go down, not up precipitously.

Regardless, it doesn’t matter. Numbers don’t have to be accurate in order to sell them to the public. Proponents of big government and fans of Obama will believe what they want to believe. Reality is unimportant. He said what he had to say to get the bill passed and he knew that he would never be held accountable for it. At this point, it literally doesn’t matter what he says. The uninformed and the far left are going to support him, regardless. In their minds, the ends justify the means. We live in a frustrating time.

“If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.”

“[It] will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year.“

“If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.”

All you dummies that gleefully voted this snake-oil salesman into office.  And now you believe another progressive like Bernie Sanders will do any better.

Black Republicans, Gay Republicans, and Female Republicans all scare me. How can you POSSIBLY support a party who based their beliefs off of rules that would only make sense 2000 years ago. Basically every republican who is not a straight, white, male scare me.

My book is going to absolutely terrify this person.

I can’t wait to laugh when they see it. 

I’m guessing this person doesn’t actually know any or talk to any Republicans or conservatives and just believes in the caricature because it’s easier.
