David William Hedrick: My name is David, and I’m from Camas, Washington.

Congressman Baird: Hi David.

David: First of all, I wanted to let everyone know since this is a thing tonight that I’m a Marine Corps vet.

Baird: Thank you, David.

David: And like you, I did swear an oath to defend my Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Now I heard you say tonight about educating our children, indoctrinating our children, whatever you want to call it.

Baird: I didn’t say “indoctrinating.” I never said that.

David: Stay away from my kids!

I also heard you say that you’re going to let us keep our health insurance. Well thank you! It’s not your right to decide whether or not I keep my current plan or not. That’s my decision.

Now I’ve heard recently in the media you and some other people on the national political stage call us “brownshirts” because we oppose you.

Baird: No I did not. No I did not. What I said was …. and I’ve apologized for it.

David: Thanks for apologizing. I won’t speak to you then. I will speak to others.

I’ll remind you, a little history lesson — the Nazis were the National Socialist Party, they were leftists. They took over the finance. They took over the car industry. They took over health care in that country. If Nancy Pelosi wants to find a swastika, maybe the first place she should look is the sleeve on her own arm.

Now what I want to know is, you’ve done a lot of things to violate your constitutional oath. As a Marine, as a disabled veteran who has served this country, I have kept my oath. Do you ever intend to keep yours?

Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good.

All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it.

An idealist is one who, on noticing that a rose smells better than a cabbage, concludes that it will also make better soup.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.
