Really Pete...seriously?

How about stopping that illegal penetration across our borders, how about balancing a budget, how about ending the Iranian threat of nuclear weapons?

I could easily continue, but I won’t.

They are sticking their noses in areas (to Social Engineers America) where they have no right to be while allowing those things that should be their primary objective to completely fail.

[fujimoh]

These people in the House and Senate make my skin crawl.

[orinoco]

My initial reaction is that this guy is treasonous and should have been handcuffed and arrested on the spot.

[windsorknot]

Once upon a time a King George thought pretty much the same thing.

"The Federal Government can do most anything in this country"

My Smith & Wesson disagrees, Pete!

And, the Founders intended it that way when they wrote the Second Amendment!

The people who populated that area were a different breed that populates it now. They cherished their freedom and would die to protect it. They did not squall”We need a government program” when a problem arose. They solved the problem.

Our ARs, plus my M1A, agree with your S&W.

The scary part is that it is looking like we actually may have to use them.

That doesn’t make me a happy camper.

If you have a Right
To the Service I provide,
I must be a Slave.

[TexasFreeper2009]

according to Democrats the federal government can do anything it wants EXCEPT regulate abortion.

[Outland]

Our government is so f$cked up, it’s time to start over from scratch.

[DustyMoment]

That doesn’t make me a happy camper.

Me, neither. I would much prefer that the "American option" of being able to peacefully overturn the government through the ballot box be our best choice. But, increasingly, I see that option slipping away . . .

[Cheerio]

IMHO this is proof positive that Congress is now working FOR the Administration. Boy king Hussein has long complained about our Constitution is Fundamentally Flawed. There is NO check on the Administration anymore - and all this from the RAT party that so ripped GWB for The 'Imperial Presidency 101 - Unitary Executive Theory and the Imperial Presidency

[Personal Responsibility]

Once the Supreme Court decided that not engaging in commerce was commerce all shackles were off. There is nothing - nothing at all - that does not affect commerce if that law is what prevails.

[ponygirl]

Saving this country is going to mean voting him and his ilk out.

I fear it may be too late for that.

I hope I'm wrong.

It has been said before, but worth saying again: We can survive this administration. What we can't survive is the people and the mentality that put this administration into power.

[screaming eagle2]

another example of a congressman who believes that he is a ruler over his constituents and not their representative

[screaming eagle2]

...I wonder how he’s going to feel come the day after Election Day 2010
