Today, Shep Smith reported (over-sensationally, as always) that our Congress members are receiving death threats because of their health care "yes" vote. While I am by no means condoning death threats, in typical Shep Smith fashion, he joined in the Democrat's pity party by stating, "Why would anyone do such a thing over just a vote?" Excuse me, Shep.. JUST A VOTE? Has Shep been following the UNdemocratic process by which this health care bill was passed? The meetings CLOSED to Republicans, the outright ignoring of American citizens anger about this bill while labeling them as Unamerican, astro-turf, Nazi fanatics? Obama, Pelosi and Reid's stealing and diverting of MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to buy other Congress member's votes? Exploiting the Executive Order process to throw the "yes" votes over the top? Threatening the use of the Slaughter rule for passage of this UNCONSTITUTIONAL BILL?
Smith fails to realize that when OUR Government refuses to act in accordance with our founding document, let alone PERSISTS on stripping us of the freedoms our Forefathers and countless numbers of Americans have died for, what does our Government expect? The fact that we have become far too tolerant for far too long is what has landed us in the mess we currently find ourselves in.
Last Sunday signified far more than a vote on a Bill. What we witnessed was the hijacking of the Democrat party by the Progressive/Marxist movement. We now have neither Democrats nor Republicans controlling our Government. A simple analysis of those who surround and advise our President is clear evidence of this, and Sunday was nothing less than the Marxist disease having spread to the controlling body of our Congress.
Just a vote? Hardly. What is perhaps the most publicly UNPOPULAR Bill ever in America's history was signed into law by a President who has shown a total disregard of that fact. Only a Marxist would pretend to have done something "for the people" AGAINST OUR WISHES.
Our history of Civil Wars and American Revolutions started not with death threats or killing. They started when those in power chose to abolish citizen's freedoms while transforming them into slaves.
Last Sunday was a severe blow to our freedom. "We the People" are angry. We can either accept becoming slaves or choose to engage in the war our Government has begun to wage upon us. A boiling point will be reached where we realize being tolerant and civil can no longer be tolerated if we are to remain free. The alleged "death threats" announced today are reflective of that.
The genius of our Constitution is that it reminds our Government that WE are in charge, not THEM. When the Government decides that THEY themselves are in charge, regardless of what WE think, they've fired the first shot in a war they themselves have begun.
Shep Smith's characterization of Sunday as "just a vote" is troubling. While death threats are also troubling, it's our President and Congress that first threatened us ALL.
Someone has to put a stop to this nonsense by tell us about their personal death threats.
Maybe Lou Dobbs.
His house was actually shot at.
Lou Dobbs not only received death threats...they were acted upon, and the bullets fired at his house barely missed his wife.
We know which side acts upon the death threats.
I turn off TV or change channels when Shep comes on. He’s just flat out sickening!
He’s FOX’s version of Wolf Blitzer, only not quite so old.
LOL. GMTA - look at my post #61.
We posted the same exact thought at the same exact momenbt.
I think we’re supposed to make a wish or something. ;)
P.S. I can’t tell you my wish or else the Secret Service will be at my door.
I guess in October they will burn down the Congress and blame the Tea Partiers.
Why hasn't this already happened in that case.
I hate Shep, well hate may be a strong word but the guy is so bloody weird and reminds me of an ugly woman. Hey Shep, go give BO a BJ.
The problem is that Beck is SO successful, even in a ‘dead’ spot, that they'll probably never let him out of it.
*snicker* ;-D
Poor, poor Shep!
O’Reilly is getting as bad as Shep and Geraldo.
Yeah Beck and Limbaugh and Hannity should start whining too!
I’d like to see some evidence of these death threats before asking why they happened.
The first was a mind-meld - how was it for you? LOL
I am certain I share your P.S. wish too. :)
