The civil war begins.
Sides are being drawn. The President has come out and urged his supporters to "turn us in" if we speak out against this monstrosity health bill, while at the same time telling them to take to the streets in support of the Health Plan monstrisity.
So be it.
This is getting to a stage where we have to stand up straight. We're not like the Jews in Germany and Poland, we're not like the Russian farmers or Chinese peasants.
We know our rights, we will not be cowed into submission, and are willing to fight and die for those rights if necessary...and we are armed.
I love this country, I love the constitution and the rule of law based on it...but this is the opposite of all of that and is the fast road to tyranny unless we stand and stop it.
So, what I will do now is speak up all the louder, redouble my efforts, and challenge them straight to their marxist faces.
If they want to curtail my free speech, they are going to have to literally fight me over it.
A PETITION ON FACEBOOK FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RESTORATION
Violence will ensue.
What was it that was said at Concord?
And they will lose.
“What was it that was said at Concord”
The shot heard around the world....
This is very peculiar and inappropriate coming from a sitting President.
Alternately, they want their people to show up early enough that they take all the seats.
Sounds like Hugo Chavez or the Iranian mullahs.
The following essay, reprinted with permission, is from a 1987 book entitled, "Our Ageless Constitution."
"Although all men are born free, slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorant - they have been cheated; asleep - they have been surprised; divided - the yoke has been forced upon them. But what is the lesson? ...the people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government they should watch over it.... It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free." James Madison America's Constitution is the means by which knowledgeable and free people, capable of self-government, can bind and control their elected representatives in government. In order to remain free, the Founders said, the people themselves must clearly understand the ideas and principles upon which their Constitutional government is based. Through such understanding, they will be able to prevent those in power from eroding their Constitutional protections. The Founders established schools and seminaries for the distinct purpose of instilling in youth the lessons of history and the ideas of liberty. And, in their day, they were successful. Tocqueville, eminent French jurist, traveled America and in his 1830's work, DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA, wrote:
On the frontier, he noted that "...no sort of comparison can be drawn between the pioneer and the dwelling that shelters him.... He wears the dress and speaks the language of the cities; he is acquainted with the past, curious about the future, and ready for argument about the present.... I do not think that so much intellectual activity exists in the most enlightened and populous districts of France' " He continued, "It cannot be doubted that in the United States the instruction of the people powerfully contributes to the support of the democratic republic; and such must always be the case...where the instruction which enlightens the understanding is not separated from the moral education.." Possessing a clear understanding of the failure of previous civilizations to achieve and sustain freedom for individuals, our forefathers discovered some timeless truths about human nature, the struggle for individual liberty, the human tendency toward abuse of power, and the means for curbing that tendency through Constitutional self-government. Jefferson's Bill For The More General Diffusion Of Knowledge For Virginia declared:
Education was not perceived by the Founders to be a mere process for teaching basic skills. It was much, much more. Education included the very process by which the people of America would understand and be able to preserve their liberty and secure their Creator-endowed rights. Understanding the nature and origin of their rights and the means of preserving them, the people would be capable of self government, for they would recognize any threats to liberty and "nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud." (Adams)

It’s absolutely crazy that they step outside of their protective bubble for just a second and can’t handle the results. They expose themselves directly to the voters and get creamed publicly over and over on their own supposed legislation. Exposed for being moron little tyrants. It was the clarity of their disdain that they fear so much.
This makes me REALLY start to question the legitimacy of our election process.
"If they will have a war, lads, let it begin here!"
We should email this to flag@whitehouse.gov
Didn’t they ask concerned citizens to report this type of behavior?
"Dont fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here." -- Captain John Parker, 1775
"Let's Roll."
. . . . What?
An alternate translation, or usage of “molon labe” is
“come get some”, meaning “bring it on”.
Home is where we’re strongest.If that were true protests wouldn’t be happening the people are telling congress you suck and your selling ue out.
