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.

"'In our democracy,' he said, 'we resolve things, not through violence, not at the point of a gun. If we don't do that, we will devolve into a society that we're not going to like.'"

Which democracy is that? I have news for you, buddy boy; we've already devolved into a society we don't like.

Precisely what response from the American people did these little King Georges expect after what they pulled this week? Flowers and a case of Scotch?

Who said “We’ll do whatever it takes”

Who said “Bring it on”

If you’re going to talk the talk be prepared.

Last President shot....a Republican(by a hollywood brainwashed leftist)

Previous attempt...Republican President(Ford)by a drugged-out hippie POS leftist.

Last President assassinated...by a radical America-hating communist leftist....(despite the cBS's man-on-the-street attempts to claim that it was "one of those right winger's")

Trust me David Shyster, Madcow, tingle leg, Olberdork and the rest of the lying MSM...if/when the next American Revolution begins...you'll KNOW it's U.S.!

Republicans plead for civility, restraint as pro-health care House Democrats receive death threats

Republicans plead for civility, restraint as pro-health care House Democrats report death threats

We don't know any more than that except that Democrats report receiving death threats every time they do something they know is unpopular and whenever they need some sympathy in the government media.

STUPID REPUBLICANS ... they are accepting the PREMISE that the violence is “RIGHT WING” ... geez, why don’t we just put ourselves all in jail, hang our heads and apologize. (STOP IT ... The LIBS are the violent ones ... just ask Coulter)!

We told them and told them and told them that we didn’t want ObamaCare. Or Porkulus, or the bailouts, or cap-n-trade, or the business takeovers ... it’s been a long list of abuses. But they refused to listen to us.

They wouldn’t listen at the town hall meetings. They ignored us on the phone, on the Internet, by fax and snail mail. They wouldn’t even listen when a quarter-million patriots descended on Washington on Sept. 12!

Now a few bricks are thrown and their panties are in a wad? Threats? Mere threats and no well-deserved hangings?

They have no idea how bad things are going to get if they don’t wise up and start listening to us.
