Democrat Staffer: "They're Just People"
Digital Journal ^ | 2/13/09 | Sherri Reese

On Friday the 13 of February 2009 both houses of the US Congress passed the largest spending bill in the history of our nation. The final amount of the bill is reported to be $787 Billion.

Congressional staffers have been inundated with calls, emails, and faxes by Americans responding to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, otherwise known as the Stimulus Bill. The voters contacting Washington, DC have voiced clearly that they are against this bill for the past two weeks.

Congressman Dr Broun of Georgia left Washington, DC Friday evening and caught a flight home. Once he landed at the Atlanta airport, the Congressman called into the Dontgo Movement radio program on the Heading Right Station of Blog Talk Radio. During his conversation with host Willie Lawson Congressman Broun shared a conversation he had with a lobbyist in his office earlier that day.....

Yes I remember that song too. It is also very appropriate to describe the fresh hell we are now living in.

“Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.”

I never really thought of that lyric properly before. That is the way I’ve been thinking lately. I won’t live in an America that is not free. They can take my earthly freedom but I won’t go quietly or with a heartbeat left.

“they’re just people” is going to go down in history beside “Let them eat cake:.

forgive me if I have upset you.....your profile says you have been here since 2000, so I didn’t realize you didn’t know what “ping is”

A “ping” is when you reply to another comment. When you reply to a comment, it automatically “pings” the person who wrote the comment you are responding to.

so— when you responded TO me, I repsonded to you.

No one is trying to be your keeper in anyway....

I happen to be a friend of Congressman Broun, so when you misunderstood the information, I wanted to be sure to correct it.

I would do the same if someone “pinged” me, and said something untrue about you- I would correct them...

I am not here to cause you or any other FREEPers any harm.

I hope that helps

Remember how the DUmmies and KOmmies kept accusing President Bush of being high-handed and corrupt, and they were so afraid of being sent to detention centers, or that Bush would declare martial law and cancel elections?

While President Bush never had any intention of doing any of this, I wouldn’t put it past THIS White House to try.

Look, if I made a mistake; I apologize. I always own up to my mistakes. I just don’t think it’s right to for people lecture others; especially in public. And no I didn’t ping you. I privately emailed you which is what you should have done.

I’m beginning to think that the typical Democrat federal elected official doesn’t give a rat’s rear end anymore if the country is behind them or not. They think they’ll be able to manipulate circumstances and keep the country in a perpetual crisis, with the voting public so desperate that they’ll have to vote Democrat in order to keep food on the table.

No problem. As a gun owner with children in my home, I’m watching this one closely.

Re: the Grosse Luge post. My keyboard won’t let me make the ss into an essette, or the U with an oomlout. (All german speaking Freepers forgive the phonetical spellings in the previous sentence please).

Anyway I had heard of “the big lie” but not the Grosse Luge and Hitler part.

And NO I do not think you’re crazy ( or as the german saying goes ‘pulling out trees’). You are completely correct of course. It is the brain dead general public that is crazy. They live life in a kind of oblivious slumber, most don’t even know what the hell is happening in the real world. But ask ‘em about pop culture and they light right up! It is frightening how uninformed most of the population is. If they get their news from Katie Couric and her ilk they know nothing.

The public schools and liberal media have succeeded in making the Sheeple they needed. The Useful Idiots are doing just what the dems wanted all these years. Now we have an ineligible usurper in office and a house and senate packed with liberals. They are totally going mad with power. I am afraid of what the country will be like in 4 years. In the end, I know my home is in heaven, but for now it is here.

Everyone, please besides the lively discourse here on FR, take time to contact all your congress critters and senators, and anyone else you think can help. I never wrote to any politicians until after this election. I’ve sent so many letters now I’ve lost count. The SCOTUS has gotten a lot of them. Tomorrow 4 more letters go out about HR 45, the gun grabber bill. FR is wonderful, but we need to call and write the elites in Washington DC and let them get an idea of what We The People think of them and their anti-American policies and ideas. We need a revolt.
