FReepers said that Obamacare would be the means to the tyranny of the "progressive" state.

And they were right.

"Those who celebrate that culture are not interested in compromise: They are interested in having everyone pay for what they want, and in levying serious penalties on those who won’t truckle to their will."

Something struck me when reading this article. These guys insist we not only allow them to do what they want, but that we join them in promoting and celebrating it. It reminded me of Lincoln's famous Cooper Union Speech, when he asked what would satisfy southerners.

Different topic, same mindset. How dare you disapprove of my lifestyle choices.

This, and this only: cease to call slavery wrong, and join them in calling it right. And this must be done thoroughly - done in acts as well as in words. Silence will not be tolerated - we must place ourselves avowedly with them. Senator Douglas' new sedition law must be enacted and enforced, suppressing all declarations that slavery is wrong, whether made in politics, in presses, in pulpits, or in private. We must arrest and return their fugitive slaves with greedy pleasure. We must pull down our Free State constitutions. The whole atmosphere must be disinfected from all taint of opposition to slavery, before they will cease to believe that all their troubles proceed from us.

I’ve been saying the same thing for years. Not that anyone’s listened.

His point about "freedom of worship" vs. religious freedom is a good one: it proves that Atheism is now the State Religion, and apostates will be tolerated only as long as they keep it quiet.

This is the same crap that Protestants from England and Germany ran from in the 17th and 18th centuries to colonize America. It was supposedly prevented by our First Amendment - that there shall be no "Established Religion", i.e., a State Religion which all must bow to...at some level or another.

Call it the revenge of the Princes. Or, in the case of the homos, Revenge of the Queens.

“For Leviathan cannot be met at some mythical 50-yard line of “accommodation.” Leviathan can only be beaten.”

That right there is why Mitt Romney is not fit to be President at this point in history.
