You have just received an op-ed which could help BHO do the right thing *for a change+; tremendous
effort was expended to get it onto the Internet ASAP, as BHO was pounding the war-drums, and it is also
anticipated that the Jerusalem Post will publish a version thereof on Monday [as two other entities mull
it over+. The text has been vetted by many pairs of eyes during the past week, yielding information
that, candidly, constituted 95% new data to the primary author *moi]. Corroboration of its accuracy
was provided, for example, by the reviewer of one other entity that plans October publication:
Our position has generally been that a fully independent Kurdistan should be brought
about which would incorporate territory from Iraq and Turkey as well as Syria. Especially
now, when everything is in flux, there really is no reason not to press for more than just
a small Kurdish state in a federated Syria which is not a very likely outcome to begin
with. We think the Kurds need to be able to defend themselves and that requires a
Kurdish nation-state.
Discussed previously has been the false-narrative permeating the media that the only alternatives are
Assad vs. al-Qaeda, and it is therefore advised that the reader consider this essay, if nothing else, to be a
call to arms regarding the need to learn as much as possible about Kurdish history and culture.
Another reviewer was provided what may be considered a somewhat offbeat cover-letter:
Appended is the essay submitted yesterday, which we feel should be published ASAP.
Regardless of who engaged in chemical warfare, it is desirable to demonstrate restraint.
Yet, the false paradigm [Assad vs. al-Qaeda] that dominates the media must be fixed.
America can support the Kurds and then build non-Islamist support from that
foundation. Due to this urgency, WE WOULD NOT MIND IT IF ANYONE EDITED IT TO
YOUR SPECIFICATIONS. This article documentsincrementallyhow this can be done
[and associated pitfalls].
Specifically, we harbor no particular pride of ownership or any ego-driven
motivations. The implications of adopting this policy could have a positive ripple-effect,
but thats not our focus. RSVP [26 hours/day, 8 days/week] @ 215=333-4900; we would
prefer Internet-access, for now.
Thus, this piece is provided in lieu of summarizing ~6 pages of hyperlinks regarding the Middle East
*tentatively+, and it is requested that these concepts be disseminated to others who cant figure-out
what America should do regarding Syria, inasmuch as Congressional debate apparently will transpire
regarding a war resolution in ~11 days. *Of course, one wonders why BHO was so time-urgent when
he and Kerry discussed the situation yesterday but, today, is quite willing to await the onset of the new
session rather than, for example, foregoing his European jaunt and presenting his case after Labor Day.]

401

It is truly remarkable how desperately BHOs acolytes have strained to support him as
he twists/turns, particularly those of the anti-War left. CNNs commentary after the
BHO-speech was muted, with most all correspondents using the term interesting.
[This wordalong with niceare best viewed as pro-jectives, a neologism that
combines pronoun and adjective; they actually are place-holders, signifying nothing,
reflecting the abject-vacuousness and/or evasive-desire of the speaker.] Naturally,
analysis on FNC was far more expansive, with the endpoint suggesting that BHO may
trully want Congress to do exactly what Parliament didbecause he prefers invisibility.
In any case, as will be detailed in upcoming blasts, it is vital to compartmentalize the issues, lest the
latest suggestions from the BHO-ites be permitted to muddy the water [attempting to link a request for
more military-$ to an effort to bust the Sequester+. That BHOs standing will be injured by his errant
foreign policy should embolden GOP-ites who will be asked [gently/firmly] to defund ObamaCare.
Mechanisms have been devised to help them save face, but they will confront a seething-base if they
fail to remember the aphorism, If you fund it, you own it!

To provide perspective regarding the Kurds, a few of the more recent articles mined from multiple
sites are presented, along with a piece that was provided by Dr. Sherkoh Abbas regarding his efforts. It is
desirable to emulate efforts by caroline glick to work towards resetting-us-foreign-policy by noting that
the Kurds are experiencing ethnic-cleansing-in-syria [the-unseen-terror] and that, as a result, 20,000
Syrian Kurds Fled Syrian Islamists and Entered Iraq; syrian-kurds-have found-more-than-a-refuge-in-
iraqi-kurdistan, reflecting the fact that The Kurds face both the Opportunity to create a homeland plus
Peril as they try to fend off those who would create an Islamist state. Dr. Sherkoh Abbas, a veteran
Kurdish dissident, has therefore called for dismantling the country into ethnicity-based areas.

A brief overview of the Kurdistan National Assembly Syria
(Kurdnas)

Based on the Washington March 12
th
, 2006 Conference at the US Capitol, the Kurdistan
National Assembly Syria (Kurdnas) was established on May 29
th
, 2006 and officially
announced itself to the world from the rostrum of the European Union in Brussels. Up
until that time, members of the Assembly in North America and Europe had been
working on behalf of the Syrian Kurds.

Upon announcing the formation of the Assembly, it soon found in its attendance the
majority of the Kurdish political parties as well as Kurdish tribes and chieftains in
addition to religious and civic leaders. Kurdnas inauguration was also attended by
representatives from every corner of Kurdistan (Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey) as well as
representatives of some Syrian Arab opposition parties.

Under the pressure of the regime's totalitarian system some Kurdish political parties
withdrew from the conference (Kurdnas) and some withdrew nominally in order to
avoid a severe crackdown by Syrian Intelligence Services within Syrian Kurdistan.
Nevertheless, many of these political parties, civic leaders and tribal chieftains have
continued their membership secretly until they may once again resume open affiliation
with Kurdnas albeit under much safer conditions. This means that although prominent
Kurdish parties retain membership in the Kurdnas board, they will continue such
membership anonymously. Once international support has been secured and sufficient
strength built, Kurdnas will proceed forward by officially announcing the names and
statuses of all member parties.

Yet in spite of the regime opposition to some members of the Assembly, Kurdnas is
proud to count the open membership of political parties and prominent members such
as Kurdistan Democratic Party - Syria, Kurdistan Democratic National Accord (Wefaq),
Wave of Young Democratic Kurds, former Secretary generals, chieftains and religious
leaders such Haki and Khazanawi.
403

Kurdnas is also a Council Member of the Syrian Democratic Alliance and Syrian
Democratic Collation, which includes the Union of Syrian Arab tribes, Arab clans,
Kurdistan Democratic National Accord - Syria, and the Christian Democratic Movement.

The Assembly has established relations with the U.S. and the European Union while
simultaneously promoting the concept of a federal democratic state for Syria where all
the communities and minorities of Syria can live in harmony as one. Such a federalized
state would undoubtedly yield good relations with neighboring countries while helping
to secure a peaceful coexistence with regional nations.

Kurdnas actively works towards securing the right to self-determination for Syrian Kurds
within a united federalized Syria. The Assembly also believes in reducing the negative
influence of external state actors, such as regional countries, as well as non-state actors,
such as Kurds outside of Syrian Kurdistan.

Essays by sherkoh abbas are available on Facebook, where Sherkoh Abbas asks why America protects
groups affiliated to al-Qaeda in Kurdistan of Syria. *The US Department of State warned Kurdistan
Region President Massoud Barzani over intervening in Syria Kurdish regions as the move fuels Syrias
war flames. Addressing a press conference, the Spokesman for US Department of State, Marie Harf
asked Barzani to reconsider his pledge for intervening in northern Syria if it is proved the al-Qaeda
affiliated groups have committed genocide against the Kurds in the country.+ He depicts a world-
according-to-syrian-kurdistan, whereby a resolution would be achieved by slicing_syria, while
recognizing that turkey-can-prevent-a-divided-syria.

The grist file and the ObamaCare file are overflowing, and the writings on Facebook havent been
checked for almost two days, but sufficient data have been mined to allow for a distillation of the plan
that has been promulgated regarding ObamaCare. This information has been presented to many people
during the past week *particularly during Thursdays rally, organized by Heritage Action+ and details
have been refined primarily through the office of Congressman Tom Price [with those associated with
John Goodman alerted as to what is being proposed]. One facet of these efforts [ensuring an alternative
plan will be proposed via the CR] has borne fruit [by whatever mechanism], but the grunt-work
regarding the second shoe that must soon be dropped is ongoing *trisecting the CRs in the House+:
HR 2009 *Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act of 2013+ was passed by the House and
could be appended to the CR covering the Treasury Department; HR 2300 *Empowering
Patients First+ could be appended to the CR covering the Health and Human Services
Department; the remaining eight departments could then be amalgamated into one CR
and passed [thereby envisioned to be passed by the Senate and signed by the POTUS].
In this fashion, the GOP would not be portrayed as the Party of NO! because it
would have adopted [and funded] its alternative-plan, and the GOP would not be
portrayed as having shut down government because it would have upheld its duties
[per the Constitution, Article I, Section 7] to originate government-funding bills.
On the national level, communications have been established with Tea Party Patriots, Heritage Action,
and FreedomWorks; Fund for Growth will be contacted on Tuesday to gauge its assessment. On the local
level, all of the major TEA *Taxed Enough Already+ Party Groups were contacted, and all except one
will congregate on Tuesday-p.m. because of the ongoing reticence of Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick to get with
the program; the one that declined *which has a limited presence in Bucks County+ advised *spelling
corrected] its viewpoint [without identifying what further information would prompt it to go public+:
[W]e have come to realize that the Republican strategy to delay and defund ObamaCare
has not yet been fully fleshed out and we are withholding comment and judgment until
the appropriate time. We have conveyed our hope that Congressional Republicans will
be able to devise a unified strategy that focuses on delaying and defunding
the implementation of ObamaCare to the greatest extent possible. We believe a unified
front is the only way we can possibly defeat this disastrous piece of legislation at this
very late hour.
Heritage Action held the last of nine health-care town-hall meetings [over a fortnight] in Wilmington,
Delaware on 8/29/2013. Rafael Cruz, Texas pastor and father of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), & Heritage
Foundation Pres. Jim DeMint promoted their efforts to defund the health care law. C-SPAN broadcast it
live, and the 80-minute video can be watched @ any time; it will be rebroadcast @ 1:31 p.m. on Sunday
[just after the program that will include Ben Shapiro, of Breitbart-fame]. {Guzzardi and I (and his ex
Elaine) are on the first-row on the extreme-right @ 14-minutes; the choice of locale was symbolic [?].}
Efforts to unify the GOP in a concerted effort to Defang *the IRS+ and to Defund *the HHS+ continue,
applying tough-love when neededto help it champion the strong desires of 60% of the electorate.

A few follow-up items have been acquired.

First, regarding Kurdistan, the essay uploaded @ Israpundit has also been uploaded on the homepage of
the Kurdistan National Assembly. Second, a few articles that correlate the Kurds and the Jews have been
provided, a few of which are derived from a website that appears to aggregate literature related to the
Kurds. An introduction to KURDISTAN and a review of ISRAELI-KURDISH RELATIONS illustrate the
credibility of claims of a long-term affinity of Kurds towards Jews, and analysis of The Genetic Bonds
between Kurds and Jews has included COMPARING DNA PATTERNS OF SEPHARDI, ASHKENAZI &
KURDISH JEWS; these have not only led to the generic view that Kurdistan will be the second home for
Jews after Israel, but scientific studies have detailed why:

The Y Chromosome Pool of Jews as Part of the Genetic Landscape of the Middle East
Jews were found to be more closely related to groups in the north of the Fertile
Crescent (Kurds, Turks, and Armenians) than to their Arab neighbors.

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=106398003 [requires registration]:
There are between 300,000 and 500,000 Kurdish Jews, which is between 3.5 and 4.0%
of the entire Jewish population and around 2.0% of the entire Kurdish population.

Second, regarding Syria, the us had intel on chemical strike before it was launched [yielding the obvious
question as to why an alarum wasnt promptly sounded+, and a video has allegedly shown how DAVID
CAMERON has been EXPOSED ON ISLAM. Again, it will be curious to note during the Sunday Talk Shows
whether anyone queries a BHO-defender as to why this dire-emergency [on Friday] devolved into a
potential attack that was no longer time-sensitive [on Saturday] and, thus, could yield debate that would
conveniently be delayed until after the Labor Day vacation and BHOs return from Europe.

Third, regarding ObamaCare, being contemplated by a group of TEA Party Groups is a message along
these rhetorical lines: We have been fervent supporters of Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick for years,
having provided time, cognition and money to this honest civil servant. Yet, he has not yet agreed to
oppose financing ObamaCare through the Continuing Resolution, for whatever reason[s]. He is
threatening to undermine the energies expended by his base, which has provided the door-knocking
component that underlies his achievements; indeed, the intensity of the national effort even extends to
plans to primary each Republican who attempts to forget that If you fund it, you own it! There is no
further information available that will affect any effort to strategize regarding this issue. We therefore
hope that Mike will announceimmediatelythat he recognizes the acute dangers of statism that
ObamaCare would cement into American life and specifically pledge to oppose funding ObamaCare on
each/every vote that he will take throughout the rest of his current term. We would want Mike to
embrace the two-pronged innovation detailed previously *splitting the CRs to isolate the two pivotal
oneswhich would be amended to forestall IRS-enforcement and to mandate HHS implementation of
the GOP-plan+, recognizing that it could initially provide common ground among Republicans and
subsequently yield a dont blink *no compromise+ posture when dealing with the Democrats.

407

Fourth, amplifying documented lawlessness permeating the ObamaCare roll-out is the latest revelation
that is obviously intended to quell the eruption from Organized Labor [white-house-considers-awarding-
obamacare-subsidies-intended-for-the-uninsured-to-labor-unions], again illustrating why it is not
desirable simply to delay implementation; procrastination *such as Boehners trial-balloon advising
prompt adoption of a 60-day temporary foot-drag] would allow for BHO to start getting people to
sign-up with the exchanges [as of 10/1/2013]. This must be viewed as totally unacceptable; indeed,
some of us would go so far as to suggest that this one vote must not be tethered to any other issue and
must not permit BHO to shift-$ to accomplish his nefarious goals unimpeded by mandamus-injunctions
and/or threatened-litigation. Mike and his colleagues must be helped to recognize that no other issue
promises to trump this one [for immediacy and implications], recalling that ObamaCare has NOTHING to
do with healthcare and EVERYTHING to do with government control over everyones private life;
Middle of the Road in Healthcare Leads to Socialism, so the reader may wish to take a crash-course
that summarizes many of the points we have made: Defunding ObamaCare 101.

Fifth, it is always desirable to be reminded of 12-unspoken-rules-for-being-a-liberal.

Sixth, an article that concluded Ted Cruz enjoys clear edge among tea party activists at Americans for
Prosperity summit cements my view that he remains the early GOP frontrunner for POTUS:

Here is a key-excerpt from the piece:

He followed Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.), Texas Gov. Rick Perry and
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, all of whom addressed the organization
Friday. While the others were warmly received absent some activists
who heckled Rubio over his immigration stance the reception for
Cruz was nothing short of adoring.

Here is a personal reaction which was triggered by this article:

First of all, this is a pivotal article for many reasons, as the GOP girds for
battle over ObamaCare; clearly, the support for Cruz "translates" into
endorsing his defunding effort.

Second, anyone wishing to follow [via Facebook] the compilation of
presidential-aspirations exploding daily regarding Cruz can join either
"Ted Heads" or "Ted Cruz for President 2016."

Third, anyone wishing to watch his father's speech this past Thursday in
Wilmington, Delaware @ the rally promoted by Heritage Action can
either tune-in tomorrow on C-SPAN-I @ 1:31 p.m. e.d.t. or can watch
the 80-minute event; he gave the invocation and the coda.

Fourth, what is clear, now, is that the POTUS-nomination will be
contested between the "moderates" [with genealogy back through
Romney to McCain] presumably led by Christie [although Walker could
be recruited in case Chris doesn't lose enough weight] and the triad of
Cruz/Paul/Rubio. Most conservatives feel Rubio has become self-
408

marginalized, and his "Hispanic" appeal is subsumed by Cruz; likewise,
the stridency of Paul [particularly regarding foreign policy, c/o his
father] is subsumed by the balance struck by Cruz.

Therefore, this article serves to reinforce the capacity for Cruz to
emerge as the undisputed leader of the Conservatives in the GOP, and
he won't allow a public spat to emerge with anyone [including Christie]
as did Paul. His capacity to attract additional support could create a
tsunami that would potentially freeze-out many potential opponents
ahead-of-time, and no amount of D-inspired bad-mouthing would alter
this outcome.

Cruz is a straight-talker, he is honest, he is Presidential, he is a leader,
and anyone listening to his father will recognize how very close fell the
apple from the family tree.

Seventh, its time to rest *recalling that this is the Sabbath+; a few blast e-mails ago, it was suggested
that accumulated hyperlinks regarding ObamaCare would be consolidated and, as desirable as it is to
complete this task [plus to address other categories of hyperlinks, particularly related to reverse-racism
and social-issues, which can be distilled sufficiently to allow for key-conclusions to be articulated+its
time to catch some shut-eye *and to handle whatever critique this blast may have triggered+.

The status of the ObamaCare defunding effort is both unsettled and energized; as per last nights
summary, all TEA Party Movement groups in Bucks County will meet on Tuesday to decide whether to
confront Congressman Fitzpatrick with the if you fund it, you own it ultimatum. Noted is his having
delivered the Weekly Republican Address [8/31/13] which was, again, complaining ObamaCare kills jobs
while being long on short on remedies and noted is his press-release which depicted his discussion with
physicians of health-care policy; this must be compared/contrasted with the energy behind the national
movement promulgated by heritage action, as manifest last Thursday-p.m. in promotion of its defund-
tour, held in wilmington-delaware. Resolve to mesh our philosophical and practical postures into a
resolute defunding posture has been enhanced by exhaustive review of all data and opinions prominent
on the Internet; in particular, this physician and Rob have exchanged notes andcandidlyhave
attempted to divine any alternative pathwaybut have failed to conjure any rationalization for even
partially-funding this recognized-monstrosity that Mike could muster in support of procrastination.

Were this issue not so serious, it would be easier to appreciate the levity in some of
Internet offerings [e.g., ObamaCare parody ad, depicted as the best, ever]; it would be
easier to see the humor in the complaint by Nancy Pelosi that Cutting Her Pay [such as
by forcing those serving in Congressand their staffsto participate in ObamaCare]
would violate Her Dignity. And it would be possible to pursue thought-experiments,
[e.g., pondering why RUSH postulated ObamaCare led to last weeks fast-food strike,
and why Senator CRUZ asserted the current Syrian crisis and ObamaCare are actually
'tied together.' But disappointment with Mike is so closely coupled with the conclusion
that defunding ObamaCare is the only-way to save America from achieving 1984-
status [three decades late] that it has become necessary to ponder the profound impact
on Bucks County GOP-politics that would potentially result from any GOP effort to
primary him, next year *again yielding the painful need to deliver tough love+.

It is instructive to note how the TPM *TEA Party Movement+ has matured; Mike didnt hold any open
Town Halls this past August, but it wasnt necessary to convey the message of disenchantment overtly.
Consider the reaction to the multiple deviations by Lindsay Graham from bedrock conservatism [notably
yielding his nick-name Grahamnesty+; a Tea Party Group will hold an Event intended to vet his
Challengers, lest a three-headed monster serve to split his opposition; the goal would be to avoid
settling upon those who have proven to be wild disappointments. And recall that the Independence Hall
Tea Party PAC [which fiercely defends its independence from external influences, local & national]
endorsed Christine ODonnell *of Delaware witchery fame+ and claimed to have been the first TPM-
entity to endorse last years major-disappointment, squish-Romney [of RomneyCare fame]; the issues
are far too serious in 2014 to allow for such sloppiness to undermine again the energy of the GOP-base.

What has emerged during the month of August, also, has been a recognition of which
people are more married to maintaining their power-positions than in advancing the
Conservative agenda; in this regard, its difficult to invoke Reagans 80% Rule *banking
on the concept that occasional deviations are acceptable]. Witness pure-frivolity from
410

the Wall St. Journal [Strassel: A Test of GOP Resolve], Americans for Prosperity and its
State Director [Jennifer Stefano+, and MSNBCs forever-strident/aloof Morning Joe
[carville reminds scarborough some conservatives dont consider him one of them].
Then entertain the contrast [of specificity, logic, and gravitas] captured in such pieces as
How to Defund ObamaCare, ObamaCare's 'Free' Benefits Not so Free, tell-the-house-to-
defund-ObamaCare, tea-party-to-rally-against-boehnercare-over-fight-to-defund-it, etc.

The goal of this first installment regarding ObamaCare has been to articulate what will be discussed by
the TPM-leadership of Bucks County on Tuesday-p.m., recognizing that all the establishment-types are
mustering their forces to disclaim worriment regarding such efforts; witness the recognition that key
G.O.P. Senators Cant Halt Tea Party Rivals and the nytimes claims that gop-senators-failed-to-head-off-
tea-party-rivals, while Politico defends establishment GOP senators from Tea Party primary challengers
as-just-an-expensive-headache, GOP's Ellmers Blasts Heritage Action over ObamaCare Funding Fight,
heritage-foundation-barred-from-weekly-conservative-meetings [ostensibly triggered by the Farm bill],
and republican-lawmakers-retaliate-against-heritage-foundation [actually intended to suggest that a
split in the conservative-world could suggest erosion of opposition to this strident defunding effort].

Hope that a meeting of the minds could be achieved intramurally was enhanced when
the following remarks by Bill Kristol emerged on FNCs Fox News Sunday on 8/11/2013
[corroborated via a transcript+: No, he is not focusing on shutting down the govern-
ment. Ted Cruz says, I want to pass a continuing resolution to keep open the rest of the
government. I think it was a little unwise to make defunding ObamaCare the lead
instead of delaying the key parts of it. But there's plenty of time for the two to come
together here. And I think Republicans by Labor Day are going to be in good shape on
this ObamaCare. And when Sarah Palin-Backed-Efforts-to-Defund-the Unaffordable-
Care-Act, it was not surprising that ofa promptly slammed her; such events prompt
members of the GOP to band-together. In any case, republicans and democrats-staked
their political-futures-on-the outcome of this tug-of-war [between the irresistible force
of passed-legislation and the immovable-object of the House initiating spending bills].

Noting significant problems with the roll-out [vide infra+, BHOs army has Tapped the 'Secretary of
Explaining Stuff' [Clinton] to sell this gigantic program to a public that remains in-opposition [Polls Show
Opposition to ObamaCare Is on the Rise Again] and may call upon OPRAH WINFREY to RESCUE it;
Sebelius wants to Pass Immigration to Boost ObamaCare Enrollment, and she claims 'A BRAND NEW DAY
IS COMING.' Meanwhile, enrollment has been promoted by gimmicks [HHS ObamaCare Video Contest],
state-level initiatives [California Launches $45 Million ObamaCare Publicity Campaign], and state-level
subterfuge [states-marketing-ObamaCare-with-other-names-to-bloster-enrollment]; as ObamaCares
Enroll-America has Targeted States-With-GOP-Governors, sycophants have been invoked [Ezra Klein
Tries, Fails to Defend Enroll America] to explain-away defects [particularly among youth]. Yet, deceit
inherent in this marketing plan [e.g., Will be 'cheaper than your cell phone bill'] proceeds unabated, as
BHO has Called Health Insurance a 'Right' and, indeed, that MLK-Jr. Would Have Backed ObamaCare;
readers must recall that, even if it seems BHO is backing-away-from-ObamaCare, he has explicitly said
that His Health Care Plan will ELIMINATE private insurance {a phenomenon Rush explains as being
mediated by low initial penalties for uninsured, thereby depriving them of business for a few years}.

411

As was learned during the Watergate era, to assess behavior in D.C., one must merely
follow the money. In this instance, the architects-of-ObamaCare-reaped a windfall-as-
washington-lobbyists, as was elucidated in a companion-essay: A key way to riches in a
crony capitalist system is to make a law so complicated only those who build the law can
navigate the red tape. The bureaucratic architects soon become highly paid bureaucratic
guides for corporations and other interests which seek to exploit obscure loopholes and
not-so-obvious government gifts hidden deep within the lines of a law. Sometimes, as
has been the case with Dodd-Frank, regulators spend years writing the nooks and
crannies of the law. It is in these nooks where crony capitalist companies can find gold.
ObamaCare is full of gold.

Ostensibly, the GOP has not been idle, for its strident-rhetoric and threatened-litigation again abound;
Dr. Josh Umbehr explains how to get quality and economical healthcare and undermine ObamaCare,
Huckabee offers-solutions-to ObamaCare-and-health-crisis in-america [recalling his show on 8/24/2013],
and a chorus rings-out exclaiming mr-obama, republicans-do-have-health-care-solutions! The House
passed another *useless+ resolution in this regard *H. RES. 153: Expressing the sense of the House of
Representatives that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2009 violates article I, section 7,
clause 1 of the United States Constitution because it was a Bill for raising Revenue that did not
originate in the House of Representatives.+. Meanwhile, a lawsuit-challenging-ObamaCare-subsidies-
was allowed-to-move-forward, and a new-ObamaCare-lawsuit-may-reach-the supreme-court and deem-
obamas irs actions-unconstitutional; contemplated are suits by Conservative groups related to the
employer-mandate-delay and by Judicial Watch Challenging ObamaCare Rewrites.

As may be obvious, efforts have been made to tackle two humungous issues, culminating in numerous
blasts over this weekend. Having inserted the Kurd-oriented essay into the Internet constitutes one
key hurdle, although follow-up is needed to help others achieve enlightenment that there are NOT only
two alternatives [Assad vs. rebels (Muslim Brotherhood/al-Qaeda)], for America could choose to support
natural allies who arent Islamist, namely, the Kurds, who could then help to create a Sahwa movement
against Al Qaeda forces comparable to the Anwar Province Awakening that occurred in Iraq. Thus,
following-up the prior essay [published by Israpundit and by the Kurdistan National Assembly], it is
noted that a parallel-piece is to appear in the Jerusalem Post by weeks end *per Sherkoh+; in this regard,
therefore, the following [self-explanatory] e-mail was disseminated to a collection of decision-makers:

My effort [noting the expanded list of recipients] was/is directed @ attempting to
achieve a hearing in D.C. of Sherkohs views ASAP; we spoke on the phone an hour
ago, and we will pursue a set of urgent-calls tomorrow-a.m. Also just spoke to a friend,
who advised reviewing background-essays regarding the Kurds @ the Middle East
Forum website, one of which was written by the individual who is now on the cc-list
[Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi]; some of his recent essays include:
Bay'ah to Baghdadi: Foreign Support for Sheikh Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
and the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham
Pessimism clouds any survey of Islamist protests in Iraq
Iraq offers little historical precedent in the Syrian crisis
Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham: Deir ez-Zor
and the wider east of Syria
The third article critiqued an essay [Support for rebels will help push Syrians away from
extremists] by Hussein Ibish that had concluded:
The clashes between Kurdish fighters and Jihadists in recent weeks demonstrate
how fluid and dynamic Syrian realities are. Western and Arab neglect facilitated
the rise of extremist groups in Syria. There is every reason to believe that a more
robust engagement could intensify the degradation of the Jihadist groups and
provide viable alternatives for those currently in the Salafist orbit. In both cases,
the big loser would be Mr Al Assad.
Al-Tamimi trashed the organized Kurdish entities as did Sherkoh, concluding *In short,
it does not make sense at this stage to talk of arming more moderate factions to create a
Sahwa movement against Al Qaeda forces in Syria. The dynamics at work in the country
are far too complex for analogies with Iraq.+ because *it does not make sense at this
stage to talk of arming more moderate factions to create a Sahwa movement against Al
Qaeda forces in Syria. The dynamics at work in the country are far too complex for
analogies with Iraq.+; the foundation of his observations *For the conflict has actually
413

drawn some FSA battalions to take ISIS/JN's side against the PYD/PKK Kurdish forces.+
does not contradict Sherkohs viewpoint.
THEREFORE, there is sufficient justification for SOMEONE to organize a convocation @
which these ideas can be productively exchanged, for a commonality of purpose is clear.
In my view [as a crash-course educated layperson], there is more than sufficient
justification to help the Syrian Kurdsif for no other reason than to help them serve as a
bulwark against Islamists; presumably, they could indeed help to attract those [Sunni,
Shiite, Christian] whom they have of-necessity vetted [to survive], so as to create a
Sahwa movement against Al Qaeda forces in Syria.
A summary of the major forces-at-play [Kurds Fighting Arab Muslim Fanatics In Northeast Syria] has
been updated following BHOs policy-reversal [The Consequences of President Obamas Challenge to
Assads Syria]; the conclusion of the latter is telling: *W+ithout a Syrian government in Exile composed
of moderate Sunnis, Alawites, Druze and Kurds backed by the US, UK, France and others, there is no
future for Syria. Indeed, these concepts have been summarized *For The Kurds Is There A Way?], even
as UNHCR And WFP Chiefs Praised the Kurdistan Region For Sheltering Syrian Refugees. It is for this
reason that Kurds-could-hold-key-in-Syria. These essays mesh the views of Jerry Gordon, to wit:

Our position has generally been that a fully independent Kurdistan should be brought
about which would incorporate territory from Iraq and Turkey as well as Syria. Especially
now, when everything is in flux, there really is no reason not to press for more than just
a small Kurdish state in a federated Syria which is not a very likely outcome to begin
with. We think the Kurds need to be able to defend themselves and that requires a
Kurdish nation-state.

He also reports [and Sherkoh confirms+, sadly, that The US embassies in Turkey, Iraq, and Jordan are
not giving any visas to Kurds; however, many other Syrian MB-linked people are getting visas. They
lament the fact that The West has ignored the true forces of moderation in Syria - and millions do exist,
like the Kurds, some more tolerant Sunnis, some Christians, and Druze, for example, who begged for
support. Here is more information from Sherkoh, illustrating both the challenges he has faced as an
activist/advocate and the worriment he harbors regarding the future of his compatriots:

In 2011, John Kerry told me that Assad was a reformer who would bring democracy to
Syria. Now, Kerry and his boss are only chastising Assad when they should be taking
action against the war criminal. This marks the second time the secretary has exercised
poor judgment against Assad, and the people of Syria are paying for it with their blood.

Assad and his allies (Iran, KRG, PYD and PKK) are fighting Radical Islamists and their
allies in Syria (ISIS and al-Nusra. Assad is trying to convince the Kurds to support PYD as
the Representative of the Kurds while Islamists are recruiting Kurds to support
opposition Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaida groups. Assad wants to show the
international community that only he can keep the country unified, stop
ethnic/sectarian wars, ensure al-Qaeda does not obtain WMD (chemical and biological),
and fight infidels (Zionists, Americans and Kurds). It does appear unlikely, now, that he
will be able to maintain this faade after having engaged in chemical warfare.

414

Cemil Bayik of the PYD is the real military leader/commander of the PKK who
orchestrates what is happening in Syrian Kurdistan. He is also echoing Assad's argument
[amplified by Russia and China] that America is unjustifiably trying to split Syria and thus
create ethnic division between Arabs and Kurds. Other groups linked to al-Qaeda that
worked with Assad during the Iraq War convey the same message to Arabs (coordinated
by Assad/Iraq/Iran).

Meanwhile, opposition-rebels are trying to accuse the Kurds of being separatists,
supporters of the PYD, and even Assad supporters. They claim the PYD tried to split the
Kurdish Region from Syria (in coordination with Assad!) to create a quasi-independent
entity.

The Assad-PYD strategy has promoted 250,000 Kurds to move from Syrian Kurdistan.
More than 300,000 Kurds had become refuges (in Iraqi Kurdistan and Turkey) after less
than one year of PYD-control over Syrian Kurds. Indeed, why would having been
liberated trigger massive migration?

These views are also consistent with those of Henry Kissinger [Kissingers good option]:
Kissinger believes Syria should and will break up in some fashion indeed, the
independent-minded Kurds have already created a de facto state with a potent military,
the Druze have their own militias and Assads ruling Alawites, in preparation for a
retreat to their traditional homelands should they lose the civil war, have heavily
fortified Alawite territory. This break up, sooner rather than later, is Kissingers
preferred outcome yet the West is misguidedly acting to thwart it.
The reader is invited to correct any misconceptions contained herein, and they will be dutifully
forwarded; the goal is to mesh the interests of those who would want to encourage BHO to do more
than function as the military force of NO! [to corrupt an accusation he routinely levels @ the GOP];
his efforts to Follow from Behind have been sufficiently degraded and, thus, he must be encouraged
to abandon his apparent fealty for the Muslim Brotherhood and to funnel armaments exclusively to
those Syrian religious and ethnic minorities [especially the Alawites, Syriacs Orthodox Christians,
Druze and Kurds] who would then be empowered to serve as a pro-Western [non-Islamist]
governmental core [with the degree of federation/autonomy determined thereafter].

More data regarding the Kurdish position should be disseminated, so that everyone who assesses what
may need to be reformulated can draw upon as complete an information-disclosure as is possible.
Concomitantly, incremental conclusions can be drawn from hyperlinks accumulated over the weekend
for, after the usual suspects have functioned predictably, those harboring open minds can be IDed.
Again, critique is invited butunlike prior blastsit is vital that ANY key-oversight be corrected.
The first item-of-business is to provide personal perspective regarding whats happening
[recalling Santayana], recalling two essays co-written with Guzzardi that focused on
Specters exertions to kiss-up to the Assads *Hafez & Bashar+ over recent decades.
Days before he flipped *from R D+, we wrote of Arlen Specter's Nixonian Moment
[wherein we suggested that someone should help him do precisely what he did] which
recalled an indictment of his rogue-efforts to effect a self-defeating foreign-policy
*Specter Threatens American Security and Questions His Own Sanity When Dabbling
with Syriaand Successors to Saddam and the Shah+; when we engage in idle-banter
*to assuage angst over BHOs antics+, we claim credit for having pushed him into crass
recognition that he had always been a D [absent principles, always grand-standing].
Thus, this photo [which is making the rounds depicts Kerry channeling Specter:

kerry-frequent-visitor-syrian-dictator-bashar-al-assad
generous-remember-of-john-kerrys-praise-of-syrian-dictator-assad

The second item-of-business is to channel input from those who are monitoring these
blast e-mails to ensure mistakes/oversights are dutifully amended. In this regard,
input from gerald a honigman and allyson christy provides corroborative information;
the op-ed by the former [henry-machiavelli-von-bismarck-change-that-tune] conveys
multiple quality-messages by employing a breezy compositional style. Also, Sherkohs
interview has been uploaded [EXCLUSIVE: Syrian Kurdish leader on looming US attack
and its consequences] and, although its lengthy, it has been reprinted in this blast;
annotations amplify a few points but, otherwise, it dovetails with the published essay.
416

Finally, an essay by Jerry Gordon has also been placed @ the end of this blast which
also conveys key-concepts in a well-written, meticulously-documented fashion.

Unidentified Navy Officer Sums It Up

Confronted by three pages of hyperlinks that have materialized only over the weekend, it is now
necessary to cite those that provide conceptual overviews; Reason has articulated 8-reasons-not-to-
go-to-war-in-syria, the title of this essay [President Strangelove: How Obama Learned to Stop Worrying
and Love the Bombs] conveys its impact, Caroline Glick has depicted the damage caused by BHOs
procrastination [Bluster, bluff and backstabbing: Obama's bread and circuses], polls-show-weak-public-
support-for-strike-on-syria as BHO Leads from behind the polls, and Sherkoh confirmed that this photo
[does-seeing-president-obamas-foot-on-the-oval-office-desk-make-your-blood-boil?] recalls the insult
of shoe-tossing that befell Bush-43. Other points will be aggregated and conveyed in a future blast,
inasmuch as this one is already somewhat lengthy [for reasons aforementioned]; the goal will be to
demonstrate that one must oppose indiscriminate bombing without worrying Iran/Russia may gloat.

Interview with Mr. Sherkoh Abbas
As a US strike on Syria loomsbecause Washington appears determined to punish Syrias President
Bashar Al-Assad for the alleged use of chemical weaponsIsrael Today talks to Dr. Sherkoh Abbas, the
leader of the Kurdish National Assembly of Syria, currently residing in Washington. Knowing loyalists
throughout Syria and harboring connections to the Syrian and American authorities, we take his stance
on whether the attack is going to happen and what will happen when and if it does.
417

1. The US claims of a gas attack in the suburbs of Damascus on August 21
st
seem
suspicious, especially given the fact that the timing was perfect and also because
everyone still remembers Americans mistake in Iraq. What makes you think that they
are right this time?
Answer: I believe that the US administration has enough intelligence sources on the
ground to assess the situation accurately. As far as Iraq is concerned, it is still disputable.
Some say there were no nuclear weapons there; others claim they existed, but in limited
amounts. There are assumptions that the US was not quick enough because Iraqs late
leader Saddam Hussein managed to move some of his weapons to Syria. {see book by
General Sada (Saddams Secrets), which this physician has read, and note his
appearance on Comedy Central: General Georges Sada reports that he has seen Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction and they were transported to Syria. (7:41)}
The Assad regime definitely does possess chemical weapons and they have been used
previously although on a smaller scale. Having said that, I understand the claims that the
gas attack was suspicious. After all, the government forces were winning and it was
suicidal for them to use the weapons at the time that the UN inspectors were touring
the country investigating a similar case that took place in March. Assad knew that the
use of such weapons would trigger an attack against his government and he wouldnt
have wanted to risk his positions. And yet, its important to note that there are different
rivalry camps inside Assads government. This means that even if Assad himself didnt
order the release of the poisonous gas, it could have been somebody from his own
government.
Therefore, it doesnt really matter who used this weapons. Whats really important is
that it is there and the US has to intervene in order to destroy these arsenals and
prevent a situation where these weapons fall into the wrong hands. Its clear that the
regime is not capable of controlling these stockpiles.
2. Do you think that the lives of the minorities (including Kurds, Christians, Alawites, Druze
and others) would be any better if the regime is changed?
Answer: Although I think that the Assad regime has always been bad for minorities, I
also believe that what the US is doing right now, that is supporting the Sunni Muslims, is
totally wrong. Washington prefers to back such countries as Turkey and Qatar, both of
which support the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization deemed as terrorist by many
countries. I believe all ethnic groups and minorities in Syria should be given equal rights.
Syria should be divided into federal states where every state would have its own
constitution. Such a system could prove valuable for the US because those federal states
wouldnt be strong enough to oppose Washingtons policy. In other words, if Sunni
Muslims are marginalized they wont have enough power and therefore will not be able
to stage a war against US interests.
In fact, identical views have been expressed by former US Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger during his speech at the Ford School earlier this summer. He pointed out to the
fact that Syria was created artificially in 1920 in order to facilitate the control of the
country by France. He also stressed that because the country consists of so many
ethnic groups which are very antagonistic to each other US style elections are not
418

possible in Syria because every group votes for its own people [see article quoting Henry
KISSINGER].
3. Why does Washington support these extremists? Didnt they learn the lesson of
Afghanistan when armed militants of Al-Qaeeda started fighting Americans after those
helped them to get rid of the Russians?
Answer: The US is assured that splitting the country into federal states is problematic
because they prefer to have one government to talk to, instead of trying to maneuver
between the various regional players. But its also about the petro dollars. Lets not
forget who Washingtons regional allies are. These are the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and other Sunni majority states. They possess a
huge amount of dollars and thats why they can dictate how they want Syria to look like.
These countries dont want to see the independence of the Kurds or any other
minorities and ethnicities. Thats why President Obama is not capable of abandoning
this policy of backing political Islam. But this approach is destined to failure because it
will only embolden Iran and Syria.
4. Whats going to be President Assads reaction if (or when) Washington attacks?
Answer: President Assad cannot really do much. Washington and Moscow have already
reached an agreement on the issue. They agreed that the US will carry out a limited
strike against Syria because the US has gone too far and cannot afford itself to
backtrack. Russia and the Syrian government know which sites are going to be bombed
and so they are ready for the hit. The Syrian leader doesnt feel that the attack is going
to threaten his rule or overthrow him, thats why he is calm. Having said that, he already
started moving [the terrorist group] Hezbollah in Lebanon only because he wants to
change the focus and shift international attention away from Syria.
5. Does this mean that the World War III is not on the horizon?
Answer: I think that at least this time around WWIII will be avoided. At the same time, it
could burst out if the US despite giving assurances to Russia uses this opportunity of
a limited strike to topple the government. However, regional wars are still possible, they
can involve (partially or wholly) such countries as Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Israel. Of
course, Egypt, Tunisia and Libya are already going towards Syrian style civil war.
6. What about the Kurdish people? Does that mean that the dream of a state remains
remote?
Answer: One thing is for sure: Syria will never be the same again. Eventually, it is going
to turn into another Somalia or Afghanistan. But the Kurdish people will fight that.
Currently, the world powers ignore the desire of the Kurdish people to obtain
independence but I believe that the international community should reevaluate this
situation. The Kurdish people are the engine of democracy in the Middle East and we
deserve our own home.

The Iconoclast: The Consequences of President Obamas Challenge to Assads Syria

by Jerry Gordon

President Obama sought political cover when he announced Saturday, August 31, 2013, in a televised
broadcast from the White House Rose Garden that he was seeking authorization and support from
Congress for a limited military assault in Syria to confront the menace posed by Chemical Warfare
(CW) attacks on Syrian civilians. From polls taken this weekend the US is virtually divided. Thus,
whatever Congressional debate over authorization of President Obamas announced intent to punish
the Assad regime will doubtless allow more time for receipt and consideration of the results of the UN
inspection team.

Watch this You Tube video of President Obama's announcement on August 31, 2013.

Separately there were conflicting reports about the realities on the ground in Syria. Abigail Esman in an
Investigative Project, guest column, Bombing Into Unintended Consequences in Syria , drew attention
to the likely outcome of the proposed bombing, expansion of the Sunni supremacists.
Note these comments:

True, it is a proud and longstanding facet of the American psyche to intervene in the
face of human suffering, to protect the citizens of the world from the abuses of their
leaders. But the question Washington needs to consider as well is not just whether we
can afford another war with a still-struggling economy and a military exhausted by two
others. Nor is it simply whether we should be involving ourselves in a war against a
country that has brought no direct threat to the U.S. The bigger question is whether, in
Syria, we are ultimately aiding those who seek our destruction. Speaking to reporters for
The Hill recently, former Congressman Dennis Kucinich put it in the clearest possible
terms: "So what," he asked rhetorically, "we're about to become Al-Qaeda's air force
now?"

U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., has also expressed reservations, based in large part on his
own visit to Syria in February. "There were a number of people who came out of
Damascus to meet with me," he told me, "and conditions have only gotten worse since
then. You have brutal people involved and what if they got our weapons? How would
we control it all?"

420

The window of opportunity for safe involvement in Syria, he feels, closed about a year
ago. "Maybe two years ago we knew who the Free Syrian Army (FSA) was," he noted,
"but now we don't. Maybe the CIA does, but I certainly don't." That uncertainty, for
Wolf, is just a part of what makes the stakes so high. "It takes just two hours to drive
from Jerusalem to Damascus," he said. "Now Jordan is in trouble. There are bombings in
Lebanon. Egypt is in crisis. Syria is falling apart. What a war we'd be facing

Contrast this with the myopic piece by Elizabeth O'Bagy: On the Front Lines of Syria's Civil War, which
appears to follow the Obama Administration line that bombing may help the FSA with Saudi supplied
weapons to create enclaves that would protect the various ethnic and religious minorities. This despite
the inchoate attempts to establish an internal and exile opposition coalition. OBagy who is a senior
analyst at The Institute for the Study of War bases her assessment on observations of what is occurring
on the ground in Syria. Based on her investigations in the field in Syria she concludes:

Where does this leave the U.S. as the White House contemplates a possible strike? The
Obama administration has emphasized that regime change is not its goal. But a punitive
measure undertaken just to send a message would likely produce more harm than good.
If the Syrian government is not significantly degraded, a U.S. strike could very well
bolster Assad's position and highlight American weakness, paving the way for continued
atrocities.

Instead, any U.S. action should be part of a larger, comprehensive strategy coordinated
with our allies that has the ultimate goal of destroying Assad's military capability while
simultaneously empowering the moderate opposition with robust support, including
providing them with anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapon systems. This should be
combined with diplomatic and political efforts to first create an international coalition
to put pressure on Assad and his supporters, and then working to encourage an intra-
Syrian dialogue. Having such a strategy in place would help alleviate the concerns of key
allies, like Britain, and ensure greater international support for U.S. action.

The U.S. must make a choice. It can address the problem now, while there is still a large
moderate force with some shared U.S. interests, or wait until the conflict has engulfed
the entire region. Iran and its proxies will be strengthened, as will al Qaeda and
affiliated extremists. Neither of these outcomes serves U.S. strategic interests.

However, there are overarching consequences of the proposed bombing campaign by the US in Syria.
One is unleashing a more dire threat alluded to in President Obama alluded to in his White House Rose
Garden announcement, Assads using Biological Warfare (BW). Dr. Jill Bellamy van Aalst, an expert on
Syrias BW noted in an opinion article for Israel Hayom , the immediate threat to Americas only
reliable ally in the conflict zone, Israel: Are Biological Weapons Next on Assads Agenda?:

Assad's use of chemical weapons should serve as a wake-up call on his ability to use
highly portable and devastating biological warfare agents. National security echelons in
Washington should view this as an important message.

Given Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks this past weekend, Israel knows
that use of both chemical and biological weapons by the Assad regime represents a
clear and present danger. If Assad is capable of using chemical weapons near Damascus,
421

he is equally as capable of launching biological weapons, which pose a global pandemic
threat. After increasing evidence of a mass-casualty chemical weapons attack in Syria,
the international community no longer has the luxury of standing by and seeing what is
next on Assad's weapons-of-mass-destruction agenda.

An area that perhaps, Ms. O'Bagy didnt visit was the Kurdish heartland in Syrias northeast that is
teetering on the break of a major humanitarian disaster because of al-Qaeda threats and conflicting
divisions among the Syrian Kurdish leadership. Kurds have fled in the hundreds of thousands to the
adjacent Kurdish Region in Iraq. Robert Sklaroff and Sherkoh Abbas (see our interview with Abbas in
the June 2012 NER Will There Be Room for Kurds and Other Minorities in a Post-Assad Syria) noted this
in an article published this weekend in the blog Israpundit, The Kurds Can Lead a Reborn Syria, At Peace
with ALL of Her Neighbors.

They noted:

American ships are rushing to the Levant, presumably preparing to launch a bombing-
campaign in reaction to the mass-gassing that Assad again directed at his citizenry.
Although pundits could analyze the reasons forand consequences ofthe delay of
this effort, it is only necessary to get into the weeds far enough to identify how a
coalition of the willing can quickly be assembled to stop the slaughterand to build a
stable, peaceful Syrian society. The Kurds have been issuing humanitarian appeals to the
international community to save the Syrian Kurds, but it seems their plight is finally
being heardor maybe not!

Minority ethnic and religious groups hope to create a secular democratic federal
republic led by secular Sunni Kurds, Arabs, Alawi moderates, Christians, Druze, and
Turkmen. Kurds played a substantial role as Syria gained independence from France.
Inasmuch as they are the countrys second largest ethnic group, the Kurds can play a
very positive, democratic role in forging its future.

Those who claim that there is only one choice in this matter (arming Assad or the
Rebels) must be helped to view the conflict within a larger context. Opposition is not
homogeneous. Urgently acting upon humanitarian concerns could dovetail with the
need to help long-term friends of the United States who can be depended upon to help
others build a modern Syria. The Syrian Kurds could be the leading contingent in a post-
Assad Syria and deserve our help.

Ms. O'Bagy's comments belie the tragedy unfolding in Syria's Northeast-the heartland of the country's
Kurds. Division among Kurdish factions and the presence of Al Qaida fighting units have driven hundreds
of thousands into the sanctuary of adjacent Iraqi Kurdish Region. There is a looming humanitarian crisis
that Kurds will likely face this winter, as the civil war has deprived them of cultivation of the bread
basket of Syria in their northeastern enclave. Moreover, that is also where Syria's oil reserves are
located.

There is vastly more catastrophic Biological Warfare (BW) threat and the ease by which the Assad could
transfer pathogens to terrorist proxy Hezbollah. Think of Iranian supplied drones already in the
possession of Hezbollah making a swarming attack on Israel with releases of pandemic pathogens.

422

O'Bagy praises the FSA fighting contingents and the help from the Saudis using Croatian supplied 1990's
gear in Syria's south. However, without a Syrian government in Exile composed of moderate Sunnis,
Alawites, Druze and Kurds backed by the US, UK, France and others there is no future for Syria.

Where is the future for Syria? Perhaps one should revert to the past under the French Mandate when
Syria had a weak central government with ethnic semi-autonomous provinces.

But the aftermath of a possible strike on Syria's meager air assets and command and control echelons
may achieve nothing more than havoc for the beleaguered population. A rush of weapons and supplies
to Assad's forces from Iran and Russia along with more IRGC Qods force and proxy Hezbollah
contingents could occur.

Syria's civil war looks eerily familiar. Think of the actors in the Spanish civil war and the outcome. George
Orwell in Homage to Catalonia portrayed the betrayal of the Republican government by Stalinist
Communists that faced National forces supplied by Mussolini and Hitler's Condor Legion.

The Syrian geo-politics are dissimilar from those operating in 1930s Spain. Unlike the Wests position in
the Spanish Civil War with weapons embargoes against the Republican side, the US, Qataris and Saudis
have been beavering away supplying weapons for questionable opposition forces. The most effective of
those opposition forces are seeking to overcome Assads military in the coming battle for control of
Damascus and its suburbs. Bombing and filtering of arms to the opposition will only embolden these
Jihadis seeking to establish a Sharia governed Syrian Sunni Emirate. That would threaten any freedom
for Syrias religious and ethnic minorities, especially the Alawites, Syriacs Orthodox Christians, Druze and
Kurds.

Sic Gloria Transit, Syria Mundi.

CXXI?post_id=1448468906_10201942244984919#_=_

It is mandatory that key-information regarding the politics of ObamaCare Defunding be distilled.
Those CongressPeople who wish to sign-on to the Meadows Defund-Letter [joining 80 colleagues] will
also have signed-on as co-sponsors of the Graves: Bill - 113
th
Congress (2013 - 2014) H.R.2682 [~180];
the distinction with a difference is that the latter is a generic defunding-bill, whereas the former is
specifically tethered to the CR [which is the only vehicle envisioned that could defund it]. Therefore,
Heritage Action is focusing on the 100 people who have yet to take what should be a minimal leap
from Graves to Meadows, regardless of what may have been pledged publicly/privately during August
[n.b., the media maliciously/falsely portray this effort as 80 HOUSE MEMBERS claiming SHUTDOWN
BETTER THAN OBAMACARE, despite the fact that the House would fund all federal operations except
ObamaCarea pesky-fact known bybut omitted by the A.P. author of this piece (Charles Babington).]

Consider the just-received blast from the Independence Hall Tea Party Association
which, it may be recalled, had directly communicated [to moi] that it had yet to have
adopted a posture regarding the overall defunding effort [seeking unity, as a priority];
this was a shocker, for most everyone else nationally [in the TPM] had long-ago adopted
a muscular anti-funding posture. Instead, it reported a potentially-desirable endpoint
*In particular, on ObamaCare, Congressman Gerlach has suggested a compelling
defunding strategy similar to one recently published in the National Review.+;
problematic, however, is the disconnect between cited-literature *First, Republicans
control the House of Representatives, the birthplace of spending bills. They should
exercise their constitutional power and imminently consider language that funds
everything but ObamaCare.+ and the absence of his signature on Graves/Meadows.

This is why a steely-eyed effort is being promulgated to determine whether each and every senator and
representative has committed to stand with mike lee [in the senate] and mark meadows [in the House].
That this is a national phenomenon is illustrated by the fact that the Louisville Tea Party Leader
424

Endorsed Bevin Against McConnell due to fear that Constitution-based values have rapidly eroded.
Indeed, ponder what was planned [Tea Party Group to Hold Event for Lindsey Graham Challengers] and
then what happened in South-Carolina, where-Tea-Partiers-drafted a potent resolution making a
damning [29-point] case-to-replace-Lindsey-Graham; one might argue that recognized capitulation on
any one issue could create the perception that the representative had made him-/her-self captive
overall to the whims of the TPM, but the focus is on this one votealthough the rest of the cited issues
constitutes a panoply of deviations from classical conservatism [for which Graham is proudly notorious]:

Items highlighted by Tea Partiers include: Grahams support of providing weapons to
Al-Qaeda/Muslim Brotherhood Revolutionaries in Syria, how Graham *s+upported
amnesty but not border control, how he supported NSA spying on private American
citizens, abridging the First Amendment for those who criticize the government,
restrictions on the Second Amendment, Obama's drone program against American
citizens, subordinating American sovereignty to the United Nations, giving foreign
aid to terrorist governments in the Middle East, granting members of the Muslim
Brotherhood high level positions in the US government, giving taxpayer money to
international organizations, giving taxpayer money for excessive foreign aid generally,
not just to terrorist governments in the Middle East, restricting the First Amendment
rights to criticize Islamic radicalism, Obama's radical appointments to the Supreme
Court, liberal proposal to nationalize banks, Obama's energy taxes and Cap and
Trade, bailouts for financial institutions (TARP), and bailouts for independent
mortgage institutions (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac).

Other points include how Graham opposed principled application of free trade
policies, making Bush tax cuts permanent, President Bush's conservative nominee
from South Carolina to the Court of Appeals, and medical malpractice tort reform.
The Tea Partiers also rip Graham for siding with Democrats on government regulation
to combat climate change, having *p+raised Hillary Clintons prospects for higher
office, having *f+ailed to fight for President Bush's conservative judicial nominees
generally, and for criticizing the South Carolina GOP for defending the Republican
platform.

425

This is why a meeting will be held tonight to discuss what to do about Mike Fitzpatricks reticence to be
totally committed to upholding his campaign promise to do everything possible to block ObamaCare.
Provided an out *coupling a GOP-themed replacement-bill only to HHS/Treasury appropriations], it is
hoped that Mike will do the right thing; regardless, he should sign-on to Meadows/Graves and he
should sign the Senate Conservatives petition [http://www.dontfundobamacare.com/?gclid=CKeliuX-
pbkCFah9OgodNBoAYA] which now had accrued more-then-a-million-signatures. It will be necessary for
a formal announcement to be issued immediately thereafter, noting the fact that Pitts got an earful
during his appearance at a Berks medical practice and the impact of this truly-sad press-report:
Rep. Scott Perry, R-York County, is among 80 House Republicans who signed a letter to
Speaker of the House John Boehner urging him to de-fund the implementation of the
Affordable Care Act, so-called ObamaCare. But Perry said he won't vote against any
appropriations bills based solely on his disapproval of the law, and his signature was
intended to "convey the message that the American people are dissatisfied with the
debt and the healthcare law."

There will be no obfuscation permitted, for the HOUSE MAJORITY is NOT AT-STAKE OVER DEFUNDING
OF OBAMACARE, and this effort will constitute a republican-circular-firing-squad only if the GOP caves;
the gop-can-deliver-a-crushing-blow-to-ObamaCare while ensuring the GOP [otherwise] funds gov't.
For example, theories that Obama-Backed the GOP-Into-a Debt-Ceiling-Corner-With-Syria-Move are
tangential, claims that BOEHNER VOWS 'WHALE OF A FIGHT' OVER DEBT CEILING are cinema, it is untrue
that there is no-easy-path-for-divided-gop-in-ObamaCare-fight, people-support-defunding-ObamaCare,
Rand Paul feels House Republicans Have 'Leverage' to Fix ObamaCare; delay is not better-than defund,
as has been amply demonstrated by Heritage Action [delay-or-defund], Boehner cannot Avoid this Fight
by deferring it [for he risks owning-BoehnerCare], after-six-budget-showdowns-big-government-is-
mostly-unchanged, and novel therapies have emerged by which ObamaCare may be gutted; to re-cap:

426


Conservatives have stomached republican-leaders-and-their-changing-stories for too long, for they have
detected the gops-split-personalities. Patient/exhaustive explanations have been provided in the media
[by Sen. Ted Cruz and Ben-Shapiro] and at rallies [cruz & paul-to-headline-rally-against-ObamaCare and
cruz-takes-defund-ObamaCare-fight-to-texas]; momentum grew during the hastily-scheduled two-week
defund ObamaCare town-hall tour which unambiguously advocated full-defunding, an approach shared
by the aaps [Association of American Physicians and Surgeons]. Multiple iterations have been published
debunking-the-defund-ObamaCare-myths focusing solely on-the-october-1-appropriations-bill; thus,

Although its 2-a.m., it is still necessary to provide the indictment of funding ObamaCare, for it will be
necessary for Mike to have to contend with a bill-of-particulars if tonights meeting of the leaders of the
TEA Party Movement in Bucks County yields a conclusion that provokes discomfiture; for-sure, he has
been provided full disclosure of the fervor of this effort *privately, and now publicly+. Politically, it may
be possible to argue that Mike would easily defeat a competitor and then be empowered to point to the
experience of having been primaried in the Fall as illustrative of his having distanced himself from
the TPM; the problem with this model, however, is that he would need the energies of the TPM-friends
he has made during the past half-decade-plus to maximize his chances in the fall, and the 2012-election
showed that the less enthusiastic GOPers have a tendency to eschew voting. Therefore, it is necessary
to remind the reader [and Mike] of the PAINFUL draft-lingo that will be entertained by days end:

We have been fervent supporters of Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick for years, having
provided time, cognition and money to this honest civil servant. Yet, he has not yet
agreed to oppose financing ObamaCare through the Continuing Resolution, for
whatever reason[s]. He is threatening to undermine the energies expended by his
base, which has provided the door-knocking component that underlies his
achievements; indeed, the intensity of the national effort even extends to plans to
primary each Republican who attempts to forget that If you fund it, you own it! There
is no further information available that will affect any effort to strategize regarding this
issue. We therefore hope that Mike will announceimmediatelythat he recognizes
the acute dangers of statism that ObamaCare would cement into American life and
specifically pledge to oppose funding ObamaCare on each/every vote that he will take
throughout the rest of his current term.

Certain key-points must be appreciated, for anyone wishing to envision what looms need only examine
what exists in britain and anyone wishing to weigh still other alternatives need only scrutinize what may
be the Best of both worlds [Unite universal coverage and personal choice in health care]. Unfortunately,
Toomey is chewing around the edges *whistling past the graveyard, fiddling while Rome burns, etc.+
when he advocates legislation intended to denude the commerce-clause-[as an end-run]; of greater
import is the need to recall how the media have suddenly been bashing the Heritage Foundation, for the
need for its efforts to prevail in reforming each half of the Agriculture Bill [after it had been bisected] is
illustrated by the revelation that the usda makes improper payments to already wealthy farmers (per a
gao-audit). It is desirable to close with levity [10-great-graphic-responses-to-what obamacare means]
prior to presenting this portrayal of the lie of the land received from one of the TEA Party faithful:

First: This Syria "stuff" couldn't have come at a better time for BHO! He and his "staff"
are probably drooling at the prospects of keeping Congress busy with a "decision" on
Syria and thereby taking their eyes of the "Delay/Defund" efforts by Conservatives.
433

Again, our "ace in the hole" is the September 10 "Exempt America" Rally in D.C. that
should hopefully refocus Congressional attention on WHAT REALLY MATTERS! This is
why the pressure we're about to put on Mike Fitzpatrick is so crucial. All over the
country, Tea Party/Grassroots members are going to Town Halls, visiting their
Congressmen, writing letters, faxes and making phone calls to tell every GOP Rep to
"delay ObamaCare." Mike has to know this by now, but our merry band of
"revolutionaries" will definitely drive the point home to him in a very personal way.
,Emphasized earlier was this physicians view that the goal will be trained on this issue,
defunding ObamaCare, notwithstanding any noise emanating from anywhere else.-

Second: Obama is going to lose the Congressional vote on going to war against Syria. If
my "tea leaves" are correct, there's already a groundswell amongst the Liberals to stay
out of Syria, and this may be enough for him to pull back. Of course, the danger here is
that everyone in the World knows that Obama's Foreign Policy is nothing more than a
myth at best, and the entire Middle East, especially Israel will be in a precarious state. If
Obama dares to go against a Congressional No Vote on Syria and attack with Cruise
missiles and/or limited air strikes, we may just see the "Impeach Obama Now"
proponents come out of the wood work in both the House and the Senate, not to
mention the good citizens of this country. ,Impeachment would probably not prevail,
but broad-based recognition of a failed-presidency could quite-easily supervene.}

My last point is this: What we're doing on Tuesday and with the follow-up Press Release
is probably going to cause a lot of consternation throughout the 8
th
CD and perhaps all
of Pennsylvania. Everyone that knows {us} knows how much we like Fitzpatrick, so
having our names attached to this Press Release is going to make a lot of jaws drop and
a lot of eyes go wide! :) We're ready for whatever may come and if it makes Mike
Fitzpatrick rethink his positions and get with the program, we've done our job! {Concur.}

As was detailed in earlier memos, a meeting was held of all leader-activists of the TEA-Party Movement
in Bucks County, and the following resolution was approved for formal presentation to Mike ASAP;
statism was replaced by Big Government but, otherwise no changes were made from the prior text.
There were six people present [and two in-addition via speaker-phone+; the plan is to meet with him by
weeks end, a message that will be conveyed to him by a lifelong personal friend who was in-attendance
[and who was given hard-copies of memos CXXI & CXXII to be conveyed to Mike, so that he will have
been provided informed consent regarding the specific provisions of ObamaCare that are unnerving].
Diplomatically, a vigorous exchange of ideas occurred for more than two hours; the attendees names
have been suppressed [because no formal action was taken], and it is noted that the Independence Hall
Tea Party Association/PAC was the only regional TPM-oriented group that declined our invitation.

We have been fervent supporters of Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick for years, having
provided time, cognition and money to this honest civil servant. Yet, he has not yet
agreed to oppose financing ObamaCare through the Continuing Resolution, for
whatever reason[s]. He is threatening to undermine the energies expended by his

he recognizes the acute dangers of Big Government that ObamaCare would cement
into American life and specifically pledge to oppose funding ObamaCare on
each/every vote that he will take throughout the rest of his current term.

435

What is being requested of Mike [in lieu of approval of the above-resolution for formal dissemination]
would be a Press Release stating that he has announced he will not vote for any bill/resolution
(including a Continuing Resolution) without ensuring that it appropriates 0 monies for ObamaCare;
also, we would wish that he would formally announce having signed the Cruz/Lee Heritage-Action
Petition [www.dontfundobamacare.com] being disseminated in the Capitol by Senate Republicans
[which a million-plus have now signed]. We reminded Mikes friend of multiple recent events which,
individually and in the aggregate, suggest that the adverse effects of ObamaCare have been emerging.
We are thrilled that rep-fitzpatrick-gave-the-gop-address this past Saturday, and we suspect that he is
quite aware of what-to-watch-for-in-the-ppacas-exchanges; we emphasized the broken-promises that
already have occurred and the obamacare_nightmare that promises to explode. Socialized medicine has
already prompted British Health Care Predictably to start Running Out Of Money, and we do not blink
when Unions now claim Obama & Democrats are to Blame if Jobs & ObamaCare causes Insurance Loss.
Recapping the strategy, it is advised that the following Parliamentary Procedure can be used.

Discussion of the forces swirling around the Syria morass must again be deferred, for focus must be
trained on what will transpire after the House officially reconvenes next week. Yesterday, for example,
erstwhile-leader MCCAIN 'SHAMED' FOX HOST OVER 'ALLAHU AKBAR' COMMENTS; although the Media
predictably rushed to his defense, the blogosphere reminded him that allah-akbar-does-not-mean-
thank-god-and-it-matters, and his subsequent demeanor [caught playing online poker on his iPhone
during the Senate Syria hearing] compounded his image-problemwhich he is apparently attempting to
repair today [mccain-opposes-syria-strike-resolution]. Indeed, Matt Drudge, founder of perhaps the
most important news site in the world, said, Its authoritarian vs. libertarian now! and asked aloud
why-would-anyone-vote-republican, observations that had been triggered by the prompt endorsement
of BHOs plans; inasmuch as Drudge has Made New Media as Important as Legacy Outlets, his
Frustration with Republican Party resonatesand animates the overall effort to defund ObamaCare.

Discussion last night regarding ObamaCare transiently discussed legal concerns; it was emphasized that
the Congressional responsibility did not extend to whatever the states might do regarding Medicaid and
it would not be desirable to delay [instead of defund] ObamaCare; a recent article depicted the urgency
of starving the beast by detailing the top-6-reasons-you-can-say-goodbye-to-your-privacy-thanks-to-
ObamaCare and a recent letter-to-the-editor touched on why ObamaCare-is-crazy *and not the gop].
It was also noted that Boehner has shifted his arguments and, indeed, this phenomenon was manifest
yesterday when he contradicted a claim uttered last week; suddenly, Boehner has reverted to claiming
there is 'No Need for Market-Rattling Showdowns' over Debt-Ceiling, thereby subscribing to the view
that there is no-putting-a-lid-on-the-debt-ceiling. As thinkers such as Horowitz advise Conservatives
Must 'Fight Fire with Fire' when dealing with contemporary challenges, many are lamenting the
incremental destruction of the Constitution being promulgated on multiple levels by BHO.

437

Conservatives revel while listening to Ben SHAPIRO [whose rat-a-tat presentation cries for a transcript]
and Greg Gutfeld [who has quickly garnered accolades for maximizing on Breitbart/Drudge], and when
contemplating such activities as the protest next Tuesday in D.C. by the TEA Party Movement and when
they note that bikers are rolling-out-for-dc-911-counter-protest-with-a-solid-plan; they recoil, however,
when noting the lack of a GOP-reaction to BHOs ongoing bureaucratic outrages, both when spending
[BHO GIVES PAY RAISE TO FEDERAL WORKERS and taxpayers-funding-study-of-link-between-marijuana-
domestic-violence] and administering [loophole-blocking-sandy-damage-claims-obamas-fema-leaves-
thousands-still-homeless+. Thus, they enjoy reading comments of two Grahamnesty-challengers
Richard Cash [Ground Game will Beat Lindsey] and Lee Bright ['Game Over' for Lindsey If We Get
Resources]but they note warily reports that the Dem Challenger to McConnell Gets Boost from
Katzenberg [and others in Hollywood]; for example, this physician recalls attending a private-luncheon
[@ the Union League] sponsored by Pat Toomey a few years ago [while he was running for Senate],
during which McConnell unjustifiably trashed [fellow-doctor] Rand Paul [predicting dire consequences].

Your tea-party resolution brings to mind the following essay:

443

December 23, 1776

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine
patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that
stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like
hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder
the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem
too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how
to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial
an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.

[The rest of the paragraph is apropos too, with a minor change in actors:]

Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right
(not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER" and if being
bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery
upon earth. Even the expression is impious; for so unlimited a power can belong
only to God.

Exempt America Rally - 9/10/13 @ 12pm - Washington, DC

In only five days we need as many patriots as possible to stand united with us on the West Lawn of the
US Capitol in Washington, DC for the Exempt America Rally. Will you join us?

On Tuesday, September 10th at 12pm Tea Party Patriots from across the country will gather with other
pro-liberty groups to fight the funding of President Obamas destructive healthcare law.

In August, we unveiled an unprecedented town hall directory and activism toolkit to help prepare the
American people to ask the tough questions and hold their elected officials accountable for protecting
ObamaCare. Rather than face the well-prepared patriots they pretend to represent, many Members
of Congress ignored the demands of their constituents by refusing to show their faces at town halls.

This is why the Exempt America Rally is so important. This is our opportunity to take the voice of the
American people directly to the Halls of Congress, and send a message loud and clear that they cannot
hide from the 70% of the American people who favor delaying the implementation of ObamaCare in
whole or in part (http://www.teapartypatriots.org/2013/08/news-release-poll/).

Because the law is such a disaster, the Obama administration has already unilaterally delayed the
implementation of the law for Big Business. The IRS union - who is charged with enforcing the law -
doesnt want it, the Teamsters say it will destroy the 40 hour work week, and now Members of Congress
and their Staffs have received special protection from the law. It is time that Congress extend the same
consideration to the American people.

On September 10th, we must unite with as many voices as possible with our message to those
Members of Congress who are still undecided: If ObamaCare isnt good enough for Big Business, Big
Labor, or Big Government, then it isnt good enough for the American People!

This is why it is critical for you to make plans to join us on the West Lawn of the US Capitol building to
remind Congress that the American people will be watching their actions over the coming weeks. You

Subject: Anti-BHO "blasts" Continue - CXXVII [GOP & Base & TEA Party Movement]

CXXVII?post_id=1448468906_10201966204303887#_=_

Under separate cover, the Press Release regarding ObamaCare was provided; albeit intuitive from the
perspective of those who signed-off on it, this Petition constitutes a trail-blazing template for what can
be achieved nationally *that even Guzzardiafter some coaxingdubbed a Tremendous Achievement+.
It does not, however, constitute an endpoint, inasmuch as the potent forces behind its authorship
[which, astute readers will note, completely rewrote the draft that this physician had initially circulated]
have only announcedby this actionthat the GOP must honor and manifest its Conservative Base.
Indeed, if the anti-Obama theme of these blast e-mails [generated over the summer] have any
chronic import, it is to have channeled the effort to redo the intramural autopsy performed after the
2012-POTUS defeat into a more focused *and far less establishment-oriented] set of principles.

Consider the status of Sarah Palin, who is attacked predictably from the left [tell-alaska-
dont-send-sarah-palin-to senate] and the right [Kristol On Palin: I Dont Think She Has a
Future]; meanwhile, Sarah PALIN commented ON a SENATE RUN: 'NEVER SAY NEVER.'
This explains why After 100-plus years, Dems catch GOP in Delco, why the grand-old-
party-is about-to go-boom, and why Jim Ryun claimed Mitch McConnell's dinosaur GOP
can't fix DC; it also explains the longevity of the Republican Assemblies, which claim the
status as being the true Republicans within the Republican Party. Yet, pessimists are not
permitted admission to this debate, for *facetiously, playing-on an opposite claim]
rush limbaugh revealed what many democrats are privately telling him of the Ds travail.

Driven to exasperation, some have asked the Dear GOP to Give Me a Reason to Stay when such as
Petition as has been generated herein is answered by an announcement that the rnc-launched-
obamacarecosts.org-to-inform-voters-and to hold-2014-democrats-accountable; the GOP hierarchy
cannot deny that its nearly impossible to wean Americans from entitlements, and yet they will be
more than eager to play-politics with the future of the United States. Although the-new-york-times-
asked-how-did-corporate-america-lose-control-of-the-republican-party, the base notes revelation that
Early big winners of ObamaCare [investors, lawyers, consultants, tech experts] are not exclusively Ds;
this may explain why Jennifer Stefano *presumably channeling Americans for Prosperity+ has argued
against defunding without having offered a cogent alternative [presumably a member of the-meatloaf-
caucus]. Hearing Bill-clinton-sell-obamacare by calling-for-bipartisan-efforts-to-fix-problems-with-the-
unpopular-law may prompt the GOP to claim sorry-mr-clinton, obamacare is-beyond-repair, but the
base views such exclamations as just as ineffective politically as are self-serving complaints from unions
[e.g., AFL-CIO President Trumka: Employers Cut Workers to 29 Hours to Avoid ObamaCare].

Consider why the base feels played, for it is fed limited-info intended to disarm it
from full-throttle action [e.g., insiders-saying-speaker-boehners-done-after-2014 and
even rand-paul claiming boehner-speakership-in-jeopardy-over-immigration-reform];
here, achievement [e.g., the 2010 electoral sweep, the fact that TEA PARTY GRIT SAVED
NATION HALF-TRILLION IN NEW DEBT] is ignored and, instead, its heroes are primaried
[bentivolio-gets-a-primary-challenger]. This is why it issues a call-to-action, provoked by
observing when-mccain-and-flake-hold-another-staged-town-hall-farce, and this is why
447

some choose to abandon the GOP and, thereby, risk swinging elections to Ds *e.g.,
Libertarians Dividing the GOP, and Libertarian with Little Money Could Spoil Cuccinelli
Campaign]. Thus, they can only groan when Sebelius describes the federal government
as our-federal-family *ignoring, of course, the classic biological, nuclear-family].

Those who want to work within the party to win the battle for the heart of the GOP nod approvingly
when Joe Wilson Accuses BHO Of Pushing a Syria Strike To Distract From Benghazi and ObamaCare;
cheer when tennessee tea partiers say theyre going rino hunting and us sen lamar alexander is their
target; and encourage Tea Partiers who have Hit Lindsey Graham for Reluctance to Defund ObamaCare
[n.b., LEE BRIGHT: GRAHAM 'A PINATA' ON VULNERABLE ISSUES]; the South Carolina race is perceived as
a test-case which parallels a national trend towards contested primary elections that will attract the
passion of Establishment GOPers [cross-posted at RedState and at The Madison Project]. In the interim,
as jack lew keeps claiming BHO will negotiate-over-government-funding [but, alas, not the debt limit],
house-conservatives prep-fiscal-fights and look ahead [Tea Party vs. GOP Battle Shaping Up for 2016].

*

Into this volatile intramural environment steps the fervent effort to defund ObamaCare; although the
Ds claim the Rs threaten to provoke a government shutdown, the Rs want to shut-down-ObamaCare,
but not government. Surprisingly, this message has not been heard by other in-the-know Republicans,
ignorance that is manifest when it is claimed efforts to defund ObamaCare could yield a government-
shutdown [per tom-coburn, who should know better]. Sadly, it seems documentation [e.g., Obamacare-
Increases-Tax-Rates-12-Times-More-Than-Romneycare] resonates insufficiently, even after portrayed
both in prose and in posters [e.g., all two-dozen ObamaCare Fact posters are available for review].

Consider how hollow-sounding are the typical press-releases claiming a congressman
has brought home the bacon *e.g., Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R., Bucks), surrounded by
SEPTA officials, announced Wednesday a $10 million federal grant to add a third track to
a commuter-rail and freight corridor in southeastern Bucks County] or has composed an
op-ed critical of BHO [e.g., rep-gerlach-assails-president-obama-in-op-ed]. On the other
hand, consider how much more satisfying it is when opposition to BHOs misadventure
is announced [e.g., fitzpatrick-claims critical-questions-remain-unanswered-on syria],
particularly as Tea Party Groups Nationwide Unite Against American Attack on Syria.
Confronted with the specter of a lawless POTUS influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood,
and a White House planning to spend another $12m promoting ObamaCare, many of
those who are most aware of these trends are manifesting pure-angst.

This is why the propitious arrival of Heritage Action has been so well-received; for example, in Dallas,
when Ted Cruz handled having been interrupted twice by hecklers with tact, grace and wit, the reaction
was electric. This is why Heritage Actions last of nine health care town hall meetings in Wilmington,
Delaware attracted a SRO-crowd, as Rafael Cruz [Texas pastor and father of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)] and
Heritage Foundation Pres. Jim DeMint continued their efforts to defund the health care law. This is why
heritage action claims sen-coburn-is fighting-a-straw-man, as it views the over-reaction to its advent as
mischaracterized [stirring-the-base-and-alienating-erstwhile allies]; quotations from competing-egos are
particularly entertaining [as is revelation of the vacuous ObamaCare plan propounded by Boehner],
recognizing how the authors liberal-bias subtly emerges via a segue into imbalanced negativity [citing
unnamed critics+ and how the Rs would be blamed for any purported government shutdown, to wit:
448

Representatives of the advocacy arm are traveling the country in an attempt to pressure
lawmakers to vote against funding the government in the new fiscal year unless the bill
also halts spending for ObamaCare. Top GOP aides believe the proposal has little chance
of success and is likely to backfire.

Boehner has promoted a different strategy aimed at challenging House Democrats to
take a stand on controversial parts of the health-care law in a series of votes.
Meanwhile, liberal groups have played up the possibility that GOP hostility to Obama-
Care could shut down the government: Americans United for Change followed Heritage
Action on its tour last month, staging counter-events highlighting the laws benefits.

Animated by awareness of the dangers of ObamaCare, the base is thrilled that BREITBART NEWS IS TO
BROADCAST DC 'EXEMPT AMERICA' RALLY on the 10
th
; it is determined to starve the beast because of
acute awareness of BHOs lawlessness *e.g., obama-rebrands-immigration-job-to-avoid-congressional-
chopping-block+. The base isnt humorless when, for example, it recognizes rather unique polling data
[Poll: Majority Of Americans Approve Of Sending Congress To Syria] or when it promotes a hilarious
lecture on 9/3/2013 by Congressman Jim Traficant on the Department of Agriculture [presented by the
Harrisburg Liberty Alliance]; levity often provides a refreshing respite. Ultimately, the base is simply
eager to apply [overseas] reagans-rules-for-military-action and [domestically] Lawrence Reeds iteration
of Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy, lest America [and its economic system] collapse; it views the
upcoming conflicts [with establishment-Rs and statist-Ds+ with trepidation, but with steely resolve.
