VIDEO: "I, David William Hedrick, a member of the silent majority, decided that I was not going to be silent anymore. So, I let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it. I was one questioner out of 38, that was called at random from an audience that started at 3,000 earlier in the evening. Not expecting to be called on, I quickly scratched what I wanted to say on a borrowed piece of paper and with a pen that I borrowed from someone else in the audience minutes before I spoke. So much for the planned talking points of the right wing conspiracy."

Well done.
But cha know what? It is so damn good, it bears repeating! 'Twas an Epic Beatdown!
An American patriot speaks out against a Socialist not worthy of licking the bottom of this soldier’s boots.
It’s that ex-marine who should be the congressman instead!
I agree!! This man is a TRUE LEADER!
This video could be posted a thousand times and it wouldn’t be too many times.
Great job of putting one Chicago-on-the-Potomac scumbag in his place.
Too bad the arrogant Socialists intend to do what they want with the United States, rather than what the people want or the Constitution tells them to do.
Holy cow, that was great!
I hate the condescension of “if you like your health insurance, you can keep it”. He nailed it on that one.
I’m glad it was reposted because otherwise I might not have seen it!
Here’s the story on how this unknown video went viral....

And Baird comes off as an idiot. Typical dim congressman.
So the Congressperson is striding around the stage looking like he’s oh so powerful and in control while the little people sit below him in the audience in what was supposed to be servile wonderment. And still, despite the obvious staging, the humble vet took goliath down in a few words.
We should never underestimate the “ordinary” American.
And at least Specter had the guts to meet the people face to face, eye to eye. This guy.
His wife is a lucky woman!
oops...
....this guy Baird didn’t even have the guts of Specter.
Just to hear a real AMERICAN stand and deliver is all I have right now. Our bitching and moaning here on FR is a good place to vent, but in the end, nothing has changed since I joined.( check my date) We did the same during Clinton and he made 8 years. The Repubs wouldn't even pull the trigger on impeachment. How long till we really take this country back to a constitutional Republic? Just read Article 1 section 8 and tell me what we have done in the last 50 years that was in the Constitution. I just re read it and noticed that the feds can't take more than 10 square miles for any taking of land. How many millions of acres do they control now? One third of America? They dictate what farmers grow, who can drill for oil on what land, and a dozen other takings without compensation. We just gave Brazil $2billion to drill offshore there but still no drilling here?
Even if we elected 400 of these Marines willing to take on the task, how would we ever unwind all these fascist takings? It would require a complete collapse to ever get started.
Like I said, I'm pretty low this weekend. I think I will bloody the next guy that tells me the voters are smarter than you think. How in the hell did we ever get here? When the sheite hits the blades, are we going to have to follow the produce manager down at WalMart because he used to be a E5 in Nam 30 years ago? Where are our leaders? We have open communists with felony convictions at the highest levels of government and nobody says anything. They can't pass the background check, yet they are in the highest levels of government with no oversight.
