Good links at article.

Had a Congress critter hold a brief meeting with some healthcare providers in my area. Wasn't advertised and only 1 local news station was on hand to get film and get comments from the few present.

Everything was low key.

Were you there?

What was proposed to the providers? Your post about parasites seems to have nothing to do with your comment.

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

This is the bottom line. Just as the Tea Parties are not really or solely about taxes. The Jeannie is out of the bottle and unless the left, liberals and/or Marxist are going to back off she ain't goin' back in.

Live Free or Die.

Wait till our de facto president gets started on the amnesty fight. The SEIU and ACORN are going to be big players.

I think the tension was already there and building. People are rejecting the legislative strategy:

1) Sky is falling because /fill in the blank/. We must act now.
2) Activists, lobbyists, Bugs Bunny write a 1000 pages of freedom robbing legislation which no one has read.
3) We must act right now, we don’t have time to debate. Afterall, the sky is falling.
4) House passes massive freedom robbing legislation with billions upon billions of dollars in deficit spending.

Then they move to the hot button issue of Healthcare. Over 100 hundred years of fighting between the socialists and the freedom lovers on this issue.

Before this powder keg is even safely contained, Obozo brings up amnesty.

Violence, brought to you by the POTUS.

The results of apathy to generations of abuse of our Freedoms, and disrespect for the purpose of our founding contract by Leftist criminals.

Apparently the tide is once again turning in the favor of those who value Freedom, but what damage will have been done during this period of exploitation by the Left?

Seems the Left gains a few paces to every one they lose each time they succeed in gaining the power they misconstrue as mandate to abuse.

The Dems are going to pass a bill. It will be as radical as they can get through the Senate with 50 votes. They are completely tone deaf on this and do not understand the anger brewing in the country. Arrogance is the watchword. 0care will be shoved up our a$$es about the time of the Tea protests in DC.

As it turns out, it was the so-called liberals, actually union thugs, instigating the fights. In Tampa,

I would rather believe it was ACORN goons with the MSM calling them union thugs. They don’t want people finding out what the stimulus funded to the tune of 3.5 billion $.

***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. ***

Finally someone has said it.

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.

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.

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.
