TALK about sore losers. Just when you think the health care debate can't sink any lower, somebody manages to punch through the floor.
The ink of President Obama's signature was hardly dry on his health care overhaul legislation before reports of vandalism and death threats against congressmen on both political sides threatened to upstage the bill that apparently sparked the anger.

Whenever I see old bug-eyed Clarence I'm reminded of the 3 Stooges episode where the black cook is amazed to see water pouring out of the clock, stove and light fixtures after Moe, Larry and Curly have fixed the plumbing.
I love that episode.

Well Clarence...it's obvious the last ten million occurences of bells ringing didn't get you your "wings".
In the first place, you idiot, the TEA party movement was protesting obamacare loooonnggggg before he signed it, so you even though your little metaphor of "before the ink dried" was cute, and all of that, it was woefully inaccurate.
The only place the TEA party movement will backfire on, is the left (
that includes you skittles).
I would have loved to have some stock in Hewlett-Packard to cash in on the dividend from all the ink you and your cronies have used printing up these "TEA party" stories...the problem is, they are all just rewrites of democrat talking points.
You see Clarence, the TEA party movement is the same as America...they are about the PEOPLE. You remember them, they
used to buy your newspapers and magazines before you sold out to Kenya.
The PEOPLE run the TEA party movement; so let me be clear (
I borrowed that phrase from your messiah), If the PEOPLE
are the TEA party movement, and the PEOPLE are the American government...who - exactly - does that leave for this to "backfire on"?
Give that man a cardboard cookie...you're exactly right, it's going to backfire on that herd of commie/socialist that now occupy the White House and Congress.
So BACKFIRE AWAY, I say...push until the democrats and all the mainstream journalist are in the unemployment line to see how it feels.
The movie was right, Clarence, you do have the mind of a child.

Anger on BOTH POLITICAL SIDES and it's the "Right's fault".
Projection. Contempt. Projection.
He should call a waaambulance. Dissent is patriotic. The freedom of speech isn't about pornography, it's about voicing displeasure in government.

Moderates gave us Obama and now we are warned not to alienate moderates by protesting the redistribution of wealth . Unlike the founding fathers , these boobs have no concept of what will happen if the social contract is deemed to be irretrievably broken .

This is why Samuel Johnson took the pains to remind us that, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions!”

Actually the quote cames from Sam Jones...
This is the first scholarly biography of a neglected figure in evangelical history, coming, as he does, between Moody and Billy Sunday. Jones (1885-1906) is often dismissed as a side show. But this controversial figure, who coined the phrase "The road to hell is paved with good intentions," was the most talked about evangelist of the late 19th century.
As an entertaining and sometimes shocking preacher, political activist, and newspaper columnist, he had profound influence on evangelism and social politics in the emerging New South. Minnix (Dekalb Coll.) deals effectively with Jones's unique style and theology, politics, and controversies, as well as with his fascinating and contradictory personality.

This Sam Jones you quote is indeed an obscure icon - I can find nothing about him in my library, and precious little online.
(To tell you the truth, the only Sam Jones I'm familiar with is the great Celtics guard from the 60s!)
Boswell credits Johnson with “Hell is paved with good intentions”, and was deemed a proverb by the learned in the 17th century. It has antecedents as far back as the 12th century by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, who is credited with, “Hell is full of good intentions and desires”.
But it's entirely possible the good evangelist Jones was the one who put us “on the road”!
So, as far as I'm concerned, this is your point!
Thanks for bringing this to the fore. Most interesting.
