Following the mad recommendations of Peter Singer made in NYT's Sunday magazine, it pays to take a look at what is actually in the healthcare bill.

It's worse than you can possibly imagine. Somehow, it manages to be Singer on steroids. Who wrote this bill. It has Singer's footprints all over it.

“I just don’t get it.”

It’s almost an instinctual rebellion against “authority”.

Because they associate “republican” with “christian” and the military - family values -they rebel against it.

It doesn’t matter the group they wind up with is a bunch of fascist/marxists.

It’s cool and hip to be democrat.

Tree of liberty...patriots...tyrants. The time is coming.
I agree. A few days ago Jim Robinson posted an article expressing his outrage against Obama. I asked for the next step. What’s the plane for us to stop this and all his Marxist policies. I got no answer really. If we don’t take to the streets and create civil disorder to stop it , then we deserve it ..all of it..
We need to organize and mobilize

Somewhere back in my mind I seem to recall making the statement around the time that obozo was elected, that he would start a race war. I just had a vision of that very thing. It’s as clear as can be. He intends to start a race war and he is putting our chains in place.

We begin with a cipher created by Soros, the Saudis, some Soviet cockroaches in a sealed city.

Raised on stories of the glorious Red Army and the Great Plague of American Imperialism.

He lusts for the murder of babies in the womb, of babies escaping abortion.

His million to Raila Odinga buys gasoline to burn Christians in their churches.

Obey or be declared an Enemy of the State.

Obey or be committed Soviet-style to mental health asylum.

Obey or be euthanized.

See--you have a choice.
