My Berlin reference was not in the context of lives lost. But I am certainly not against the total decimation of its staff with respect to employment.

From the lowest mail room clerk right on up to those rabid management ideologues that will actually sit in front of Congress and lie, are complicit in the theft of livelihoods, dreams, hopes and treasure each hard working American citizen has. They don’t give a rat’s patooty what damage they collectively wreak on citizens - as long as they have their jobs, their pensions and their bonuses.

They’d be the first 89,000 I’d like to see on the unemployment line. Follow that up with the DHS.

“Who can stop him?” Well, it would be the Republicans in Congr...., oh, wait, forget that idea. They wouldn’t want to upset the Democrats.

P.S. Now this sounds like a tall order. What, suffer for people who don’t deserve it instead of throwing them on their own fates? It seems to rub against the very grain of what a “good conservative” does.

But we have to consider what kind of milieu produced this idea of “good conservative.” This might be how to keep the ship steady as she goes in good repair in calm water with a competent crew. When the ship is about to break up and it is storming like all hell and half the crew knows nothing what they are about, this is not the time to do anything but get the SOS shouted out on as many radio frequencies as possible while screaming for everyone to bail.

And also, strangely enough, this is what God blesses. Because we all were in trouble from before our birth. Nobody could earn his or her way to the grace of God. It is a moment of truth for everybody. The masks are gone. Will we present our distress before the Lord and confess our pride is less than trash and that we are goners without His immediate help? The Lord will keep escalating the troubles until we are willing to do this.

Democrats are now claiming that the “state exchanges” wording was just a common scrivener’s error. Gee. Maybe one of them should have read the bill, huh?

The judgment is coming because America is too proud to beg for mercy. God is not being the meanie here, believe it or not. The people are.

If I really had to put a number to it, I’d say were just prior to March 5th, 1770.

Government troops haven’t opened fire on civilians - yet.

But even with that, it was five years from Boston to Lexington Green...

"we are talking here about taxation with no representation."

Of course, comrade. What do you think "fundamental change" is all about.

Don't get upset over this now. The outrages will increase in the next two years. What I would like to know is, how do you undo a presidential pardon? This guy's pardons will be doozies.

There is one thing that does profit to be posted and that is gospel.

This is only a balloon to test the waters and to distract us from something else that OBummer is planning. It’s never going to happen.

There’s no way this passes constitutional muster. Even Ginsburg would vote against it. Not so sure about the Wise Latina.

Yes, that was a disaster for the Germans. More lives lost there than at Hiroshima, IIRC. I don’t really want to kill them. I just want them to have the same unease, uncertainty, fear and anxiety the rest of us citizens have.

I also want them on the unemployment line.

This is crazy talk. I’d like to see a reporter ask Boehner what he thinks of Josh Ernest’s claim.

So, now you went and typed and posted those words. You’re on a DHS filter now. You’re one of them “sovereigns” the DHS is calling the “new terrorism.”

Funny how lust for vengeance often presents itself in mirrors to us. That is one of the hardest lessons and it sounds like God is not fair at all!

Well, God isn’t fair. To us. He was fair with the Son who shouldered our sins at Calvary. So as to be enormously gracious to us.

Yes - and we’re talking about now, not 20+ years ago, which happened before Obama voters were born.

We briefly woke up after 9-11, but the media rubbed the belly of the beast and the nation went back to sleep.

I would have thought that the Ferguson dust-up would have been the match - but it only energized the Left, not us.

What kind of body count is it going to take?

God is concerned about soul count. We could be spiritual zombies.

Federal troops will never fire on Obama/Holder's People

You might see some TP like event where some agitator yells "Gun" and another one (hidden) fires into the crowd or worse, into LE there to monitor the event, and then the match gets lit.
