Freepers, other citizens storm Sen. Specter's Office on Porkulus

Written by Melanie Morgan   
Monday, 09 February 2009

Sen. Arlen Specter must feel like one lucky man today. He wasn’t in his Capitol Hill offices when MAF Chairman Melanie Morgan, Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee, Freepers and Free Republic founder Jim Robinson, and other patriotic citizens stormed his office to demand he reverse his position supporting the porkulus bill, aka the Barack-Blowing-Through- Dollars-Scheme.

MAF, as you know, is a protroops organization, and it is our opinion that this legislation will hurt veterans’ healthcare - not to mention every other American.

We’re really in town for our big press conference on Tuesday, when we release our commercial opposing President Obama’s decision to close Gitmo.

But we kept ourselves busy today. Melanie was at her finest, when we arrived at Specter’s office. For those of you who don’t know Specter, he’s a flip-flopping, spineless bureacrat who calls himself a Republican. He’s also one of the traitors who supports Obama’s spendulus bill. This is why he was a target for Monday’s action, spurred by Kirstinn Taylor of Free Republic.

Melanie and Jim Robinson asked to see the Senator. Specter’s front-office staff need to go back to kindergarten to get their manners tuned up. either that or they should go to work at Wal-Mart to pick up some tips from their greeters. A secretary, who wasn’t happy to see American patriots, refused to answer where the Senator was hiding. Jim, wearing his Navy cap, asked over and over about the Senator’s whereabouts, but the secretary wasn’t helping. It was distressing to see a Navy veteran being treated with such disrespect by a Senator’s staff.

Well, the cold-shoulder was too much for Melanie, who decided to take matters into her own hands. She stepped to the closed door leading to Specter’s office and the offices of his staffers, and flung it open. I didn’t take notes on what she said, but it went something like this:

“Come out! We want to talk to somebody right now!!”

The secretary didn’t like this. “You can’t go in there,” she warned Melanie, who promptly ignored her.

“Sombody come out here right now!!! We want to talk to you. Now!!!”

Specter’s chief of staff had finally had enough and came out to face the American citizens who wanted to redress their government official.

Melanie stepped toward him and unleashed a wave of complaints that hit him like a typhoon.

Again, I didn’t take notes, but it went something like this:

“Tell Specter to stop acting like a liberal. We are watching him and we’re not going to let him get away with this!”

Others had a few things to add to that. Debbie Lee introduced herself and handed the chief of staff a card with her son, Marc’s, picture on it. He was the first Navy SEAL to give his life in Iraq, she explained.

Liz Colby Harp brought her five homeschooled children so Specter could see whom he is saddling with trillions of dollars of debts. She was gracious, intelligent and dead on with her remarks.

“Tell God that.”

I don’t think Jesus would be sarcastic. Whenever you are feeling like being a smart a$$, just say to yourself, “what would Jesus do?”

Knowing Allen, he was probably thoroughly stewed and said what the British Commander said he said and the later quote was an elaboration by Allen,

But you are right, they are those two versions.

Look, you’re the one who was the smart-a$$ to begin with. You deserved a sarcastic answer.

I dunno - Jesus was sometimes kinda sarcastic. Luke 3:7 and 13:4, Matthew 3:7, John 7:22, 15:7, 18:21 . . . .

. . . of course, only to those that deserved it, but, still . . .

Well, there's no question that ol' Ethan was a drinking man, and that he seldom let the unvarnished truth stand in the way of a good story . . .

. . . but I have to admire him for his tenacity, courage, and total disdain for the social niceties. We could use a few like him now (though hopefully without the predilection for whisky . . . )

What’s wrong with whiskey? Half the folks fighting on both sides of the Revolution were probably potted. The per capita consumption of spiritous liquors in the 1700’s and 1800’s in America was incredible.

Yet we beat the French, kicked out the Brits, whipped the Mexicans and conquered a continent.

I think that was a far better accomplishment than more sober generations produced.

Specter is just another guy who underwent unsuccessful brain surgery.

Were you put here to argue with your fellow man, or to help encourage others to make it to heaven? You had to look those verses up, so they don’t count.

Who has to look up the Tower of Siloam, or the brood of vipers? If you don't know those, you don't know your Bible.

And that's barely scratching the surface.

Besides, if I hadn't given you cites, you'd claim I was making it up. Can't win either way.

Anyhow, you don't help people get to heaven by misrepresenting the teachings of Christ. That's the trap that the "Christian" peace activists fell into, with their fake lovey-dovey plastic Jesus. He said plenty to make everybody mad and uncomfortable. That's one of the reasons they crucified Him.

"Those RINOs live on experimental surgery!"

Neutering is hardly an experimental procedure.

Hard to believe someone that educated and supposedly BRIGHT could make such ludicrous remarks so ignorant of historical fact.

Oh, I'm sure they offered Spector a nice dacha down in Florida. That's how things work in the Politburo, y'know.
