I'm all for "revolutions at the ballot box", but there are plenty of things I've voted for that have been overturned, and there are plenty of people like the Kennedy's who get "elected" by paying off this person or that, so to be honest I don't know if we can revolt at the ballot box or not- which is what the guns are for. Either way, I'm all for a reboot. A clean sweep. A "reinvention" of government. I have a dream like Martin Luther King- and in my dream, Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Rahm are doing heavy labor in a camp.

The title is 180 degrees backwards. The purpose of a revolution is to overthrow a form of government. The socialists have been waging a revolution for decades against our Constitutional government. We are trying to stop the revolution by upholding the Constitution.

In mine, they’re all swinging from gallows lining the Capitol Mall. We used to hang our traitors...

Bring it on. We need to hunt our representatives down like dogs.

I'm all for throwing these bums out at the ballot box. Each and and every one of these slugs was voted in by the majority of their constituents. Consequently, trying to throw them out by any other way would be perceived as a revolt by the losing party minority and would be vigorously repelled by those that believe in our Constitution.

a revolution is coming, one that will be fought at the ballot box not the ammo box

Nice thought, if we even make it to 2010 elections, we still have another 10 months of these Marxist communists masquerading as protectors of the Republic before the elections even happen, then the scary period if they lose the elections between the election and them actually leaving office.

A filibuster proof majority of Marxists with nothing to lose. At least it's not a super-majority, we'd be finished already. Think about it.

I fear there is a storm coming and there will be blood.

But, the reset button must be pushed or we will lose the Republic completely. I don't want it, but at this point I think it might be a necessity for the long term survival of our Nation.

I just called S. Brown’s office here in Ohio and left him a nice holiday greeting. Then I called our AG’S office and spoke to a lady that said the phone is ringing off the hook from people opposed to the bill that want the AG’S to look at whether or not it is constitutional. I SUGGEST EVERYONE START CALLING THEIR ATTORNEY GENERAL’S!

Collectivists love the flow of blood. Whip out your guns, start spraying the neighborhoods with bullets, kill your neighbors, all that stuff, makes the collectivists grin like it’s their lucky day.

See, collectivism feeds off of social disruption.

There’s a better way: prayer, repentance and moral instruction for our children.

The vote today will trigger something for sure. It is my hope that it will just be voting against them. But if the Senate and the House keep resisting the will of the people who put them there, it may come to active resistance. I hope not, but it might.

Regardless of which poll one reads, the majority of Americans are clearly opposed to the health-care bill in its current form. As few as 52 percent and as many as 70 perent of Americans have said "no." Yet 220 representatives in the House and now 60 representatives in the Senate have voted "yes."

And how did those 220 Representatives and 60 Senators attain their offices?

Polls have no place in a representative republic.

The only poll that matters is every two years on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, when all 435 Members of Congress are up for election.

If you look at THAT poll, you'd have to say that the American people are getting EXACTLY what they asked for.

Hope they like it.

24 December 2009

This date will be remembered!

Never Forget what the democrates have done to all taxpayers on this day.

On 25 December 2009, a day that already lives in infamy, shall be a call to all to defend the freedom that our fathers fought for!

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic, for which it stands. One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice, for all.

OK.

Do we actually have a "Republic"? Are we still "one nation"? Under God? Oh, please. God has been condemned and cast out of the public sphere. He "graces" us, but only by the barest manner. We're becoming more and more "Balkanized", not indivisible. As for liberty and justice.......look in your mirror and, with a straight face, say it's 100% true.

Revolt by the people, by any means necessary, may become a rallying cry for those who have stood as much as they can. Those in government sit on the throne, reading Marx and Mao, and use the Constitution for toilet tissue.
