COWARDS!

I really think it’s out of the Republican Party’s hands at this point, unless they can get the whole thing completely rescinded.

[longtermmemmory]

spineless Republicans too stupid to see they are being played.

McCain was on CSPAN this morning and he was pure born again conservative. He thinks magic words will replace his BS deeds.

[longtermmemmory]

National Democrats seek only peaceful coexistance.

(the GOP is too stupid to avoid repeating mistakes of history)

"The bottom line is, we need to be very careful in public life that our rhetoric doesn't incite to violent acts," the Maryland Democrat said Thursday on a network morning news show. He said dealing with difficult issues in a civil and peaceful manner is "at the core of our democracy."

Well, this ain't a "democracy".

Violence is unacceptable

Paging George Washington...hey, you can't wage war cause violence is unacceptable.

[ronnie raygun]

The threats are coming from their own. This is a setup and the whore media has to do it’s job of publicizing it at nauseum Their attempt to discredit the American peoples voice

[skeeter]

How about the Head A-hole telling the GOP to go for it? This clown is the real uniter isn’t he?

Lowlife punk*ss. He's out doing a '"victory" lap', mocking opponents of his bill

You'd think everyone in the republican party would be seething.

Instead, seems like only we conservatives are up for a fight.

[ohioman]

If the courts do not repeal this, then violence is totally acceptable and needed. Of course, we have to let them get in the first punch.

Somebody seems to have not studied their history very well...especially the part about where American soldiers are liberators of tyranny...worldwide.

Its getting time to unleash liberators here at home.

As I've been saying, this is only over a single bill, and before the full destructive effects of it kick in. If the Sedition thinks it's bad now, wait'll they experience the thunder and lightning resulting from trying to shove cap-and-trade and amnesty down America's throat. The Left is going for an all-or-nothing, scorched earth agenda against a constitutional republic, knowing full well that if they fail, the least of their worries will be that they'll never see the reins of power again in their lifetimes. The other end of that outcome will literally be Biblical.

Not exactly what I copied but you get the gist...

We don’t live in a democracy. We live in a constitutional republic. The constitution is supposed to be supreme law. In this country, minorities are supposed to be protected from political majorities. The constitution is a contract between us, the people, and our leaders.

Now what are we supposed to do when our leaders violate the clear intent of the law? Can they distort the US Constitution in any way they like simply by holding a vote? It’s not like we don’t know they are stacking the courts with like-minded law twisters and distorters. Are we not supposed to resist these law breakers, aka criminals?

What are we to do when our leaders act as thieves for their political allies and constituents? Even if we’re the minority, do we not have the right to defend our property, including our own bodies against acts of thievery?

That said, I oppose violence and threats. I obey the law, even laws I don’t like. That doesn’t mean I need to remain civil toward the demagogues, socialists, commies, and bipartisan compromisers who populate Washington DC.

Sorry, but it’s not easy for me to smile and say thank you when I’m being robbed of my liberty. Oh, I’ll comply (seriously), but I’m going to fight at the polls and give you a piece of my mind between now and then!

House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said in a statement that while many Americans are angry over the bill's passage, "violence and threats are unacceptable."

I can just imagine Patrick Henry saying the same thing...

Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free-- if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

Well, I guess I can't after all. Boehner is no Henry.

Boner walks up to the bar, and orders Vinegar and water.

I say, it’s time to mirror (and pledge so publicly) the Unions level of enthusiasm for the leftist causes.

hometoroost: “That’s all well and good. Now, what do we do to get the Democrats to stop cramming legislation up people’s kiesters?”

Get active in whatever way you can. Kick them out of office!

[longtermmemmory]

RINOs?

[hometoroost]

I agree, but you’d think the Republicans would point out two things - the history of lib threats against them and the need for the Dems to stop screwing us all over with fascist tactics.

[silverleaf]

what fools these GOP mortals be

Can’t they spell “dirty tricks”?
