And if you take away the words, “sexist”, “racist”, “homophobe”, etc., from them, they’re left looking like sputtering idiots.

If you take away those words, they’ll still be left with their usual string of profanities, though.

Wow what a wackadoo Pelosi is. She is deranged and I think has beginning dementia. Obama just needs a bunker under the WhitehOUse to complete the picture of the paranoids hunkered down. But let's take Pelosi’s frustration on it's face. My take is she is not within 100 votes of passage, same where she was 2 weeks ago. She has been instructed to try anything , and anything isn’t working. They just can't generate any momentum on their part, the throngs of wide eyed college kids are preparing to go back to school. What started with the teaparties is blossoming into a full blown movement.

Freep this poll: right side of the site/ 1/2 way down.

http://www.cnn.com/

Town-hall protests over health care are:

Being orchestrated by lobbyists: 56% 130473
Ordinary citizens expressing their opinions: 44% 102594

You’re exactly right. Read about the “Food Safety Act” (HR 2749) and be prepared to be furious all over again. And it passed easily!

PELOSI and the Democratic Party = HYPOCRITES

Try to discuss an important issue in public and a Liberal will never allow you to speak your opinion in public. They'll be too busy running their mouths and taking the debate completely over. Pelosi needs to be removed from office next year. Her propaganda needs a wholesale rejection by the American people.

FReeped. We need more FReepers!

Pat Buchanan claimed it in a book I read long ago. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,985217,00.html

Then I ask what is your right and duty when someone or some government is breaking in and stealing your endowed rights/property?

Many of us do not have much to live for any more, lost loved ones, lost money. the last thing to loose is our freedom we either give it away or we fight to keep it. That is our choice.

God has a sense of humor. Conservatives quoting Hillary. Priceless.

I've been reading Thomas Paine this summer. The Crisis, The Rights of Man, and Common Sense. There are words he wrote and published in these works that if written today would surely garner a visit from the SS and a no doubt listing on the DHS list.

What we've been losing for decades has been our Right to Free Speech and Freedom of the Press. Political correctness it was called and we gave away a piece of our Rights.

Today we find ourselves in the unbelievable position of being called racists, bigots, and now the sharpest cut...un-American for standing up against policy, against socialism, against that which is in opposition to our Constitution.

We have to take the language back. We've long complained that one cannot debate a liberal. That is because they have the PC strategy down to an art. Everyone wants facts, but none want to be guilty. So we stood silent even in the face of things we knew were wrong. It has now been decades since that the idea of PC entered the American psyche. It is just as wrong today as the day it became common to be shushed because what one said or wrote wasn't PC.

Saying something as factual and true as, “0bama’s people,” can provoke cries of racism. But the truth is they are 0bama’s people. The April day the DHS security issued that memo identifying characteristics of extremists, terrorists etc. We ceased being constituents of the President, the Administration, or Congress. We couldn't believe their folly and yet we remained in our denial too.

So today we are a people without representation, without recourse, and in many ways without a country. I am sure there will be fervent cries of foul regarding my statement, but when one finally comes to terms with the fact the people who control our country are: Oathbreakers, have no intention of following our laws, nor being held accountable to our laws, one will realize our country fails to exist except for what is in our hearts.

[EBH]

I agree with you. Many think the war is about a bill, a stimulus, a budget, this piece, that piece...

The time has come to realize this will be a long war, not a battle, but a war. It is time to decide what each of us is going to do, how we can help, and very truly where our loyalty rests.

0bama and his minions have done a very bad thing with calling out their civilian foot soldiers. He won't be able to reign them back in, nor will he really try too. Today's events and headlines are the recruitment lies for the civilian corp.

Pray for our country.

Thanks. Interesting. Buchanan may have made that claim, both he and Safire served in the Nixon administration together. Prob’ly swapped a lot of ideas in WH bull sessions. Have seen, though, a number of sites, and recall attribution prior to internet era, that Safire penned the phrase.

[unixfox]

I’ll leave that up to you to decide.

You are obviously a student of Paine and of language generally. Please go to the website in the tagline, and let me know what you think. I value your opinion.

Remember when Pelosi and Reid ran out to the microphones during the Patriot Act debate and said, breathlessly, “we killed the Patriot Act”. Not.

This is just a reprise of that juvenile nonsense. That doesn’t mean we can let down our guard. Have to keep pressure on The Marxists via Tea Parties, emails, phone calls etc.
