Birds

Birds of a feather flock together. What do Common Core and Obamacare have in common? Lots. Both are huge programs that started out as ideological theories foisted onto the states by way of deception. Governors were placed in the cross hairs to implement both of these monoliths of control over citizens’ lives.
Common Core came into the states with a bribe. “Play our little game of winning grants called Race To The Top and you will win a Federal curriculum to be implemented in every school in your state.” The states who took Race To The Top money had to agree to this Federal curriculum called Common Core. Sound familiar?
Obamacare was to waltz into the states with Federal Healthcare Exchanges (bribes) with the attached Federal spending on those. Take the money for the Exchanges and your state can “win” by having more Federal monies for Medicaid. Same methodology of bribes.
In both situations, governors of the states had to make a decision. Go for the Federal money? Or stand for state sovereignty and remain independent. (North Carolina did not accept Federal Exchanges for Obamacare. Thankfully.)

As Mark Steyn said today on Rush Limbaugh’s show, they want to know how many bisexual drug addicts you’ve been having sex with and if you own guns. Can there be a good reason for this? No. But teachers and doctors are now being tasked with collecting data on you, your children, your...
