As part of today's rally to stop the Democrats' health care reform legislation thousands of protesters descended on the lawn of Capitol building. But many more were also using the occasion to visit the their congressional representative and tell them what they think of the bill.
However, Capitol Police recently stopped allowing any of the peaceful protesters to enter into congressional buildings. Crowds are now gathering in front of the House and Senate offices, demanding that they be let in to air their constituent concerns.
We need battering rams, if not petards!
And as the POTUS walker toward his teleprompter today, I changed the channel to the Hallmark channel. That the American people were refused entry to one of our Government buildings is unforgivable
That’s okay. Maybe the next time they’ll come back with what they should have brought in the first place.
Communism is here. We have no voice and will be slaves to the establishment. The boldness of those that own us should be a wake up call to what is left to America.
What did you expect?
I repeat: We are now oppressed by a tyrannical oligarchic government. These potentates will ignore every aspect of the Constitution, which they recognize in name only.
Eventually this reality will sink in to the thick-headed among us, who refuse to see the thing for what it is. Mark Levin calls this “soft tyranny”... Very soon the soft will solidify into the “hard” variety.
Keep telling yourselves that we will not need to resort to force. Ignorance is bliss for only so long. Ask the Jews, the Cubans, the Russians, etc. We are going down the same path, but most of our countrymen are in denial and will not accept the obvious until it is too late.
Thank God the winter storm kicking the crap out of other parts of the country did *not* get anywhere close to DC, to judge from that picture....Here in MO, it was 70 and sunny yesterday-today it’s low 30s, calling for up to 8” of snow. When I heard about the storm coming, I worried that it might get to the coast and impact the protests.
Time to start throwing rotten...Democrats
“However, Capitol Police recently stopped allowing any of the peaceful protesters to enter into congressional buildings. Crowds are now gathering in front of the House and Senate offices, demanding that they be let in to air their constituent concerns.”
I wonder if they are prepared to camp out there? We should join them like what happened in Romania in the 1990s. Let’s setup a supply line to supply people with food and water.
Let’s join them in masse. If I weren’t a team lead at work, I’d think about flying out there right now!
The dems and the Rinos want everyone to think we are the enemy. That’s why they are always fostering this bs.
Friend, we have nearly 7 inches of snow in Leavenworth KS.
But, I agree great weather certainly helped the efforts of those expressing their anger over this gov take over of health care.
Stay warm in MO, better weather in a few days. :)
Good idea. Don’t let them vote.
“Time to start throwing rotten...Democrats”
Right!
O-Hole will not call upon American troops... He’ll go with NATO forces... They will have no reservations about firing upon and killing American citizens... That is why we have so many stationed here now at various bases.
“Well then, I guess they’re going to get really upset when we erect guillotines in their reserved parking spaces. “
LOL..
Storm the damn building.
Apparently, “peacful” isn’t working.
“O-Hole will not call upon American troops... He’ll go with NATO forces”
I stand corrected.
Does this actually surprise anyone?
The great irony here is that we’re trying to get Democrats to do something remotely conservative. The leftist moonbats within the Democratic party no longer need their more conservative counterparts. And for the most part conservatives within the Democratic party are about as rare as hen teeth. And that’s bad news. Particularly for conservatives. You see, the more conservative side of the Democratic party used to be able to keep the moonbats in check. Not any more.
There is an ebb and flow in American politics. One party will win for awhile, and then the other one will. We’ve now seen what happens when conservatives fail to cover their retreat, as they did in deserting the Democratic party en masse during the 80’s and 90’s.
Let me suggest something really radical here: conservatives should join the Democratic party and challenge the leftist moonbats in the primaries. Bring the fight to where the moonbats are.
Remember that most seats in legislatures and the House of Representatives change hands as the result of primary elections not general elections; gerrymandering has done a pretty job of making most seats “safe” for one party or the other.
Bela Pelosi is never going to lose her seat to a Republican. It just ain’t gonna happen. And if a Republican runs against her, she simply ignores the challenge, secure in the knowldege that in her district, there is little chance that a Republican will win.
The same cannot be said of a Democratic challenger. She would be forced to run something of an election challenge, depending on how formidable the challenge was. And here is the key point: it’s not so important that the conservative “Democrat” challenger win, it’s important that they run a just credible enough challenge to force her to spend significant resources to fight the challenge.
The Libertarians do a great job of running a reasonably credible campaign on a shoestring. And that’s all you really need to do: spend a little and make Nancy (or the leftist nutjob of choice) and their supporters spend lots more of *their* money. Just for example purposes, the cost of running a credible campaign for the House of Delegates here in VA is about $100K. It goes up exponentially for Congress. Make the moonbats spend the money to keep their “safe” seats.
Don't forget the ducking stools along the Potomac...
