But if the people are not willing to respond to tyranny with force and revolution, the Constitution and Declaration never meant a damn thing anyway.

Soap box (verbal forums, physical gatherings), cash box (withold spending/purchasing in a socialist economy) ballot box (see you in November)

“Mr Gibbs, given that the whole premise of the Constitution was to document a small definitive set of powers that the federal government could perform to the exclusion of all others, and your assertion that the health care bill is constitutional under the ‘commerce clause’,

could you provide us with an example of something the federal government wouldn’t be allowed to do?”

What I see is a line of evil, power hungry men,

and a line of polite individuals that would like to live in peace.

The evil men advance, the gentlemen take a step back to avoid conflict...

until their backs are against the wall - then they fight.

Our backs are against the wall, gentlemen.

Wickard v. Filburn

Think the Roberts court would have the balls to overturn that one?

The logic of “well you did that and it was ok so this is just an extention of that...” is wearing very thin. In this case it was ‘well you pay into medicare and social security so this is no big deal...”

I am no lawyer nor do I play one on tv but it seems to me that that case is a major cause of our problems with expanding the role of the feds.
This case offers a great opportunity for the SCOTUS to deal with that issue by overturning its logic.

One can only hope.

“Gibbsy and the Administration will continue to yap about all of their Constitutional authority to mandate healthcare right up until the time that the Supreme Court finally shoots this down in flames.”

Do you really believe that?......Do you think this will go to the Supreme Court and be dismissed as unconsitutional?....I have my doubts, but I hope your words are prophetic.......

Because I’m so tired, I only read the 1st thread. So, I’m not sure if this has been asked?

Quote:
He spoke truth. Forcing Americans to buy a product they do not want is a tyrannical act beyond the constitutional authority of the president and Congress. It must be repealed.
UnQuote

Now, since it is considered a tyrannical act and against the constitution where our president is suppose to uphold and defend our constitution - would this not be considered treason? Should he not be brought up on treason charges? Actually going further, anyone that voted this in should be brought up on treason charges?

Do we have any constitutional lawyers in here? Wasn’t our usurper suppose to be a constitutional lawyer or at least he supposedly studied it (haven’t proven this, but it’s been stated?)

A Canadian doctor says “Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks.”

A German doctor says, “That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.”

A Russian doctor says. “In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks.”

A Kentucky doctor, says.. “You guys are way behind. We recently took a man with no brains out of Illinois and put him in the White House and within SIX MONTHS, half the COUNTRY is looking for Work.”

The liberals are asking us to give Obama time.
We agree and think 25 to life would be appropriate.

America needs Obamacare like Nancy Pelosi needs a Halloween mask.

Q: Have you heard about McDonalds new Obama Value Meal?
A: Order anything you like and the guy behind you has to pay for it.

Q: What does Barack Obama call lunch with a convicted felon?
A: A fund raiser.

Q: What’s the difference between Obama’s cabinet and a penitentiary?
A: One is filled with tax evaders, blackmailers and threats to society. The other is for housing prisoners.

If Nancy Pelosi and Obama were on a boat in the middle of the ocean and it started to sink, who would be saved? .... America!

Q: What’s the difference between Obama and his dog, Bo?
A: Bo has papers.

If you think the new wave of "intolerable acts" has begun, just wait until the first few incidents of true civil disobedience. The crackdown is going to make Ruby Ridge and Waco look like a stroll in the park...

Reality Check from Genesis 47:13-27

Genesis 47:13-27

ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS IS WOW !!!!!

RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE - STIMULUS SERMON

Genesis 47:13-27

I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia a hug and a high five. This guy is obviously a leader.

Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is.....It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years.


Good morning, brothers and sisters; it’s always a delight to see the pews crowded on Sunday morning, and so eager to get into God’s Word. Turn with me in your Bibles, if you will to the 47th chapter of Genesis, we’ll begin our reading at verse 13, and go through verse 27.

Brother Ray, would you stand and read that great passage for us? .....(reading)...

Thank you for that fine reading, Brother Ray. So we see that economic hard times fell upon Egypt , and the people turned to the government of Pharaoh to deal with this for them. And Pharaoh nationalized the grain harvest, and placed the grain in great storehouses that he had built. So the people brought their money to Pharaoh, like a great tax increase, and gave it all to him willingly in return for grain. And this went on until their money ran out, and they were hungry again.

So when they went to Pharaoh after that, they brought their livestock -their cattle, their horses, their sheep, and their donkey - to barter for grain, and verse 17 says that only took them through the end of that year.

But the famine wasn’t over, was it? So the next year, the people came before Pharaoh and admitted they had nothing left, except their land and their own lives. “There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our land. Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we with our land will be servants to Pharaoh.” So they surrendered their homes, their land, and their real estate to Pharaoh’s government, and then sold themselves into slavery to him, in return for grain.

What can we learn from this, brothers and sisters?

That turning to the government instead of to God to be our provider in hard times only leads to slavery? Yes.. That the only reason government wants to be our provider is to also become our master?

Yes.

But look how that passage ends, brothers and sisters! Thus Israel settled in the land of Egypt , in the land of Goshen . And they gained possessions in it, and were fruitful and multiplied greatly.” God provided for His people, just as He always has! They didn’t end up giving all their possessions to government, no, it says they gained possessions! But I also tell you a great truth today, and an ominous one.

We see the same thing happening today - the government today wants to “share the wealth” once again, to take it from us and redistribute it back to us. It wants to take control of healthcare, just as it has taken control of education, and ration it back to us, and when government rations it, then government decides who gets it, and how much, and what kind. And if we go along with it, and do it willingly, then we will wind up no differently than the people of Egypt did four thousand years ago - as slaves to the government, and as slaves to our leaders.

What Mr. Obama’s government is doing now is no different from what Pharaoh’s government did then, and it will end the same. And a lot of people like to call Mr.Obama a “Messiah,” don’t they? Is he a Messiah? A savior? Didn’t the Egyptians say, after Pharaoh made them his slaves, “You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be servants to Pharaoh”?

Well, I tell you this - I know the Messiah; the Messiah is a friend of mine; and Mr. OBAMA IS NO MESSIAH! No, brothers and sisters, if Mr. Obama is a character from the Bible, then he is Pharaoh. Bow with me in prayer, if you will...

Lord, You alone are worthy to be served, and we rely on You, and You alone. We confess that the government is not our deliverer, and never rightly will be. We read in the eighth chapter of 1 Samuel, when Samuel warned the people of what a ruler would do, where it says “And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day..”

And Lord, we acknowledge that day has come. We cry out to you because of the ruler that we have chosen for ourselves as a nation. Lord, we pray for this nation. We pray for revival, and we pray for deliverance from those who would be our masters. Give us hearts to seek You and hands to serve You, and protect Your people from the atrocities of Pharaoh’s government.

In God We Trust...

Be prepared to be horrified. Just when you think nothing else can shock you....something like this comes along.

Here’s something you won’t see on liberal news media.

Most important video I’ve seen in some time.
