I find it appropriate, though certainly and unintentionally ironic, that this date was chosen for the signing of the health care reform bill which will, over both the short and long haul, forge chains with which the American People will be bound.
What's the irony you ask? Well, I'm glad you asked.
You see, on this date in 1775 Patrick Henry delivered what is one of the most often quoted lines ever delivered:
Patrick Henry's speech served to urge the American People to shed the chains of Britain.
The irony continues if you read the entire text of what Patrick Henry had to say while standing in St. John's Church in Richmond, VA on that day. Mr. Henry delivered this speech without notes, without rehearsal, without TelePrompTer.

This awful legislation cannot stand.
Obama new exactly what he was doing! He’s all about calculations
BTTT
The Devil often quotes scripture to serve his own ends.
"The Christian Religion, when divested of the rags in which they (the clergy) have enveloped it, and brought to the original purity and simplicity of its benevolent institutor, is a religion of all others most friendly to liberty, science, and the freest expansion of the human mind." - Letter to Moses Robinson, March 23, 1801
A few days later, he wrote of his dedication to the principles of the Constitution, as framed and understood at the time of its adoption:
"The Constitution on which our Union rests, shall be administered by me (as President) according to the safe and honest meaning contemplated by the plain understanding of the people of the United States at the time of its adoption - a meaning to be found in the explanations of those who advocated [it]. . . ." - Letter to Mesrs. Eddy, Russel, Thurber, Wheaton and Smith, March 27, 1801

He didn’t wait his previously promised “5 days” so should we think this date was calculated? I don’t know if he’s that smart, but he’s devious and his fellow-Marxist traveller czars are keen on dates of consequence, and Muslims are too.
LOL.
Oh yes, absolutely.
Kind of goes along with holder’s salute, “Americans are cowards..”
It will be interesting to observe the level at which massive civil restraint is deliberately and measureably stored away and the do-or-die call is shouldered.
The cackling, cheerleading dim-bulbs of media need to know they will not be considered out of bounds on the field of play.

“Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. * * *
“Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable—and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace— but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?
What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!”
Patrick Henry, Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775
The Vernal Equinox is a pagan Sabbat and signifies “birth”.
IMO, they chose that day for this dark, demonic “child”; his “legacy”, to be born.
It was also a SUNday and he is a Leo, astrologically both ruled and given power by the sun.
[could also be construed as an inversion/perversion/mockery of our “Son”day]
So....did he ever find/pick a DC Christian church to attend?
On March 23, 2010, too many Americans are saying, "GIMME...GIMME...GIMME!"
He is not going to “change”.
It will take divine intervention.
Bless you for praying for him any way.
You’re a LOT better person than I am.
I hate him.
Also today in history (1933): The Enabling Act was passed by Germany’s Reichstag and signed by President Paul von Hindenburg on March 23, 1933. The enabling act established Hitler’s dictatorship.
I cannot stand this. What can we do that will start conversations daily, in public, waiting for a train, anywhere??? We must talk daily about this. I have been stuck on my computer for 3 days straight just sick about this. Just came back from Target and everyone was just going along to get along. I wanted to scream “Do you people know what happened today!!!!” I wish I had some kind of sign on my forehead or something.
LOL!
Thanks...I needed a giggle....:)

And yet you provide another example. That is, all over the forum, posters are uttering Scripture, and understanding, straight from their souls -
Daniel 8:24-27
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
Ezekiel 9:3-4 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side; 4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
(Jerusalem, and jerUSAlem.)
Really?
Why are you surprsed?
Matt 24
38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.
Yes. And 245 years + 1 day after the British Parliament passed the Stamp Act.
I wasn’t at Target. That was a lament by GoCards. No matter though, because we are all targets now. :(
Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
During his Columbia daze, he once muttered “give me Librium or give me meth”. The POS is defiling all of America’s institutions..
