I stole this from another Freeper months ago......The United States of America was created by the people who rose up against their standing oppressive government, and shot the bassturds!

Why, in the name of Jahosephat, is everyone so averse to the threat of violence as PART of getting this abomination overturned? You get more with a smile and the scent of violence about you than with a smile alone.
And while I’m on the subject:
1. Gordon Smith loses the Oregon Senate seat because of a third party out to “teach a lesson”.
2. Norm Coleman loses the Minnesota Senate seat because of third party out to “teach a lesson”
3. Where is the Democrat’s sense of fair play when Ted Steven’s arrest and conviction turns out to be a fraud?

The Democrats should be walking on eggshells.

If the left REAALY cared about health care reform they would give out health vouchers to the poor just like they give out school vouchers to the inner city poor and let the voucher recipients make their OWN choices./sarc

But we all know this health care boondoggle was never about choices nor reform but was always about control.

Round two of the struggle to improve health care is underway.,/I>

The dems are not trying to IMPROVE health care (or even health insurance).

They want to CONTROL it.

Obamacare is today’s “Intolerable Act.” It too should be opposed and repealed. Fortunately, this time Americans are represented, so we can overturn this misguided law without resorting to violence.

Bullcarp!

The GOP is already showing their invertebrate selves by saying that there is risk in overturning the healthcare. Also, we would have to have 2/3^rds of Congress to overturn this monstrosity.

Also, if amnesty is passed, there will be no chance for the Republicans to regain the House and Senate. We are losing our representation to people who want to rule us and not serve us.

History question. Wouldn’t the Founding Fathers be considered the business leaders of their day. These guys were not the “average” citizen as most of us here on this forum or attending tea parties are. Wouldn’t they be considered the Bill Gates of their day? Franklyn, Washington, Jefferson, and the rest of them were the top of the food chain. Where are these Leaders today. Not politicians, but “common men”.

"Public opinion sets bounds to every government, and is the real sovereign in every free one." - James Madison (known as "father" of the Constitution, Co-Author of THE FEDERALIST explanations of its principles and limitations, and President)

"The foundation of every government is some principle or passion in the minds of the people." - John Adams (Signer of Declaration of Independence & President)

Yesterday, Michael Barone's "Washington Examiner" column contained this statement:

"Over the past 14 months, our political debate has been transformed into an argument between the heirs of two fundamental schools of political thought, the Founders and the Progressives. The Founders stood for the expansion of liberty and the Progressives for the expansion of government."

Barone has appropriately articulated and framed the current debate. Is the passion of a significant enough portion of American citizens today ordered LIBERTY?

Or, is there a majority whose motivating "passion" buys into the "Progressive" philosophy for expansion of government?

If the latter view prevails, America is on the sure path to the tyranny and oppression which has dominated in all parts of the world through most of recorded history.

The "Progressives" are not progressive at all. Theirs is the most "regressive" idea to surface in America since 1776. Their premise is flawed, because it relies on a counterfeit idea.

America became a place of refuge for the oppressed because its "passion" was for Creator-endowed individual liberty.
