Government by extortion: Give us what we want, or we'll make your life VERY difficult. Or, we might even think about taking your life to make an example for other uncooperative citizens.

Looks like we are entering a new era of government. Very Machiavellian.

Crude Blackmail and extortion are the only things the street thugs of the Chicago Democratic party know.

That’s who’s running the “government”, that’s who’s electing themselves with election fraud, and that’s what the country is going to look like if we let them.

[grumpygresh]

Gangsta government.

BTW, I think that the Washington Redskins should be called the Washington Gangstas now.

[American Constitutionalist]

Same old, same old, standard operating procedure.

If we were to call a national strike of the producers à la Atlas Shrugged, who in today’s world would be the people we miss, like John Galt? Where are the Dagney Taggerts, the Hank Reardons, and others?

Are there any producers out there, that are so important and have such fertile minds, that we as a society could not do without them?

I am unable to name anyone, but I know that is merely my ignorance. I really wonder when people will say that they no longer wish to be slaves to the looters.

Since when is what we receive based on our need, instead of our productivity? My productivity is being penalized by those who are rewarded for their ability to demonstrate need, and nothing else.

What we are seeing, is the agonal breaths of the death of capitalism, merit based rewards, and democratic ideals for the sake of those who would feel morally superior to us because they feel for those in need and seek to satisfy their pity by the use of the producers’ resources in time and treasure.

You can’t negotiate with marxists. They think bargaining power comes from the barrel of a gun, and Obama has lots of guns. Power of the purse. Please.

More like the mob. Gee, that is a nice looking national park you have there. Would be a shame if you could not visit it.

We keep getting told that ObamaCare is the law, but they never tell us how it became law. But I remember all of the threats and bribes made to congressmen to get them to vote for it. What bothers me is that our representatives fell for it. And now O’bananas tells us that it IS the law.
