Civil unrest grips U.S.

The debate over health care reform has turned violent in the last week as protesters on both sides of the issue clashed in cities across the country, revealing a long-simmering civil unrest.

As it turns out, it was the so-called liberals, actually union thugs, instigating the fights. In Tampa, SEIU goons attacked senior citizens who came out because they quite rightly feel that the health care reform proposal threatens their ability to obtain health care.

Make no mistake, the civil unrest brewing here is not exclusively over the health care issue. That is simply the spark which made it visible. A deep division runs through this country along ideological lines, with one group believing they have the right to the labor of the other, and that other group, after having lived with the parasites on their backs for so long, finally beginning to perceive where it must end. The parasites are obviously unhappy about the possibility that their hosts will finally say “Enough!” and cast them off, and they have become violent. Thus labor union members viciously attack senior citizens, and the media parasites pretend not to notice who threw the first punch.

The parasites, masquerading as saviors of the human race and offering “free health care for all,” along with all of the other “free” stuff which has nearly cannibalized the productive workers who are forced to pay for it, are not likely to give up their ideology, since it benefits them by giving them power and control in addition to “free” stuff. The workers, now seeing their very lives placed in jeopardy by the policies of people like Ben Bernanke and Barack Obama, seem indisposed to continue quietly suffering. Unless one side or the other gives up, this state of affairs can only end one way.

problem with tactical vests is that people think your probably carrying when you wear em.

In that case, everyone should wear one, carrying or not. The cowards are less likely to make trouble if they think everyone is carrying. Isn't that what guns are for? Keeping the EBG's from making trouble?

I have a younger (Canadian born, but naturalized) cousin who is going to finish up his pre-Med studies, and step away from the medical profession altogether at the end of his last year at school...

He is telling a lot of his classmates are going to do the same...

They are all saying it is not worth it anymore...

So we will see a huge drop in students continuing or even enrolling into medical studies starting next year...But I guarantee you, you will not hear a peep about this in the news or print for years to come...

More ammo for our side of the argument...

Unless they totally abandon the nationalization of the healthcare system in this country...It’s all over...

In all honesty I think the very last thing we need right now is someone showing up to one of these rallies armed. Please use your head...the gun grabbers and the media are just lying in wait, almost daring someone to bring a gun or worse, to use one even in self defense.

One incident and they will self righteously declare all public forums off limits due to the danger to their self-agrandized lives.

I urge all of my fellow freepers to learn this.

Easy to learn and you will be effective within weeks.

Your gonna need it ... soon...

Use the website to find an instructor near you. Cost is very reasonable.

ACORN is running on borrowed time. If a couple of dumbasses with an unsuppressed Bushmaster AR-15 can cause such terror and mayhem as those two idiots did in D.C. a couple of years ago, then somebody else can entreat ACORN thugs similarly. They all have home addresses, and they're not too difficult to locate. Muhammad and Malvo were just TWO and they were very unprofessional about their methods and objectives. They were nothing more than self centered, murderous thugs themselves.

The only reason ACORN and their ilk is still sucking wind and remaining vertical is because they are PERMITTED. But from rumors and "talk" coming from the peripheral, I'm not sure they'll enjoy their relative level of safety much longer. Time will tell.

Those 545 people didn’t ‘just appear’ out of thin air and become arrogant and non-responsive...

We elected ‘em, and then we demanded that they ‘take care of us’.....

Oops....

Conservatives did not elect anyone that would vote for the socialist Cap & Tax, 0bamacare, or Amnesty bills. We voted against them.

Gretchen on Fox morning show this morning said a similar thing.

She bought into the lie that ordinary citizens are are just as much to blame for the problems at town-hall meetings as the politicians who won't answer questions and their planted henchmen (union thugs in one instance) who are instigating the problems in many cases.

One was actually arrested for slamming a persons camera into the vidiotographers face!

I was amazed they actually arrested a union thug.

Well now! This IS interesting! A workstation from the U.S. Supreme Courts is perusing this thread! :-) Don't ask how I know. It would only bore you to tears.

Perhaps it's the Wise Latina Woman herself! Or perhaps it's just some dumb white guy. ...hard to tell! :-)

horse apples

I think both the 1st and 2 amendments apply here

Intimidation?

Interesting stuff.

Intimidation?

Interesting stuff.

Nah...I doubt it. :-) It could have been a janitor on an open workstation! ...or a secretary, or security guard...anybody really. But it was indeed coming from the U.S. Supreme Courts networks in Washington D.C.

The interesting thing is the way the hit was made. I don't "think" there was a referrer...which doesn't necessarily mean much, except that somebody told them to take a look at the thread...via e-mail or IM possibly. They could have gone to it from FR's main page as well for that matter.

Had someone get into one of my email accounts and I suspect my internet account. Had big time internet problems recently. Wonder if someone in the court system might be messing with me? Probably not ;> Just wondering???

I have no idea why the leftists talk about tax dollars - it’s not as if they pay any.

Honest Injin brother!...it wasn't me! I stick to my AORs. That's not good news though. In my circles, AOL has a very bad reputation. They use a hardware suite made by a company called Blue Coat. We use the same gear. It's very, VERY bad in the sense that it's trivial to keep track of what people are doing who MUST use it...and if you're an AOL user, then you must use it. You have no choice. It's configured such that you'll never know you're using it usually. AOL would tell everybody that they use it for marketing and statistics gathering... and while this is probably true, they will use it for other purposes. That's just the nature of it.
