Citizen Protests Intensify; Democrats Blast Constituents
Columbia Conservative Examiner ^ | August 6, 2009 | Anthony G. Martin

Posted on 08/06/2009 8:43:09 AM PDT by Welshman007

Referring to their own constituents as 'manufactured angry mobs' funded and planted by special interests and the insurance industry, the Democrats have ignited intensified protests among the citizenry against their chicanery and the multi-trillion-dollar government takeover of healthcare.

One of the latest Democrats to be booed and jeered by his constituents is none other than House Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.

IIRC, Hoyer’s holding and invitation-only event.

All of this is similar to John Edwards running down the hall and hiding from the press in the hotel bathroom.

The more I see of this kind of obscene disenfranchisement from our ruling political elite, the more I think they are intentionally trying to provoke a citizen uprising so they'll have a reason to impose martial law and disarm the population.

That is what I think they are up to as well. “someone” is trying to incite a riot and he sits in the White House calling himself president.

I guess the Obama central committee is having a closed door meeting this morning. The transparency is obvious. We see through them.

I think I will turn Obama, Pelosi Reid etal on Obama’s snitch web site. Then I will attend a Town Hall so I can be part of the unruly crowd since the dnc is advertisement says we are.

Not to worry. This is a gun fight the authorities are unprepared for. If it ever gets out of control to that extent, the Gov will fall in 30 days. That is why the second amendment is so important.

Stay well - Stay Safe - Stay Armed.

The outcome would depend entirely on how the police and military responds, should something like this happen.

Will they defend the Constitution and The People, or will they follow the orders of the political elite?

They will succeed in neither. War is coming.

Sadly, my Representative (Tiarht) and Senators (Brownback and Roberts) are on my side. You just can’t have any fun in life when you live in Kansas. SARCASM

Hey, but at least I don’t have to work so hard. Kansas may be boring but we don’t elect people who are control freaks.

That is so hilarious, and I’m wondering if people are gonna take up that woman’s challenge and start “dressing down” for these events. It will allow some levity in on these really sad events.

I've sent an e-mail to flag@whitehouse.org requesting that they correct the misinformation that Ms. Pelosi is espousing.

Nothing will happen, of course, but it's fun to jab them in the ribs anyway.

Chris Murphy(CT-2) was overwhelmed by more than 200 yesterday. He received an earful from an overwhelming majority who opposed BO’s socialist health care plan. He had the gall to hold the meeting outside a grocery store in a strip mall in Simsbury, CT. He initially had people sign up to speak to him but that idea fell apart when the crowd became too large for a one on one. He then tried to speak to the whole crowd without any PA system. Only those closest to him could hear anything. The police moved the crowd away from the store after the store manager complained due to the size of the crowd.

He had an aide roaming the crowd listening and talking to people. They gave him an earful. I informed him the federal government regulating health care is unconstitutional since it is not listed in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution. He replied he had read the Constitution and it was legal for the federal government to regulate health care. I told the aide this meeting should have been conducted indoors with a PA system. The aide replied Murphy didn’t think there would be so many people. I told him that was naive since town hall meetings throughout the country were drawing big crowds. I asked him why he wasn’t taking notes. He replied he would remember everything everyone said. I left shortly thereafter. It was a farce.

Move to Connecticut. You'll have plenty of fun.
