"I quit flying the “American” flag the day Obama was elected."

As did I.

He's been a usurper from day 1.

Not enough people care anymore.

Another one by Jeffers. This is my favorite by him:

The Purse Seine

Our sardine fishermen work at night in the dark of the moon;
daylight or moonlight
They could not tell where to spread the net, unable to see the
phosphorescence of the shoals of fish.
They work northward from Monterey, coasting Santa Cruz; off
New Year’s Point or off Pigeon Point
The look-out man will see some lakes of milk-color light on the
sea’s night-purple; he points and the helmsman
Turns the dark prow, the motorboat circles the gleaming shoal
and drifts out her seine-net. They close the circle
And purse the bottom of the net, then with great labor haul it in.

I cannot tell you
How beautiful the scene is, and a little terrible, then, when the
crowded fish
Know they are caught, and wildly beat from one wall to the
other of their closing destiny the phosphorescent
Water to a pool of flame, each beautiful slender body sheeted
with flame, like a live rocket
A comet’s tail wake of clear yellow flame; while outside the
narrowing
Floats and cordage of the net great sea-lions come up to watch,
sighing in the dark; the vast walls of night
Stand erect to the stars.

Lately I was looking from a night mountain-top
On a wide city, the colored splendor, galaxies of light: how could
I help but recall the seine-net
Gathering the luminous fish? I cannot tell you how beautiful
the city appeared, and a little terrible.
I thought, We have geared the machines and locked all together
into interdependence; we have built the great cities; now
There is no escape. We have gathered vast populations incapable
of free survival, insulated

From the strong earth, each person in himself helpless, on all
dependent. The circle is closed, and the net
Is being hauled in. They hardly feel the cords drawing, yet they
shine already. The inevitable mass-disasters
Will not come in our time nor in our children’s, but we and our
children
Must watch the net draw narrower, government take all powers
-or revolution, and the new government
Take more than all, add to kept bodies kept souls- or anarchy,
the mass-disasters.

These things are Progress;
Do you marvel our verse is troubled or frowning, while it keeps
its reason? Or it lets go, lets the mood flow
In the manner of the recent young men into mere hysteria, splin-
tered gleams, crackled laughter. But they are quite wrong.
There is no reason for amazement: surely one always knew that
cultures decay, and life’s end is death.

Whatever they have on Roberts should now be outed by the right.

Screwed again. If these clowns keep it up, we will see what it is like to have America ruled by a Robspierre. Either Roberts is a real clod or somebody got something on him.

Successful mission in achieving the immediate and long-term financial/personal destruction of peaceful, law-abiding individuals who exercise their right to free association at a political meeting attended by a demographic KNOWN for its ranks of veterans, pro-2nd amendment, and pro-American stances -- CHECK.

Amen to that.

Pray for America and prepare.

Still like it since the left is outright determined to ban achievement in this country.

“I’m tired of hearing about the “Irish adoption” conspiracy theory. Apparently, you think Roberts is being blackmailed about something that every Freeper thinks he knows about. Roberts simply turned out to be a liberal like Souter.”

Couldn’t agree with you more.

We don’t need to look for bizarre conspiracies. He turned out to be a closet liberal. No more explanation necessary. Even good presidents can saddle us with one.

That's what I thought !



TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written: Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

I want to see them brought down in a very public, VERY humiliating way.

I don't want to see them brought down. I want to see them strung up!

And the states that did NOT want to participate in the Obamacare exchanges will simply be billed, by the federal government, for those medical costs incurred by those signed up in the exchanges. One way or another, the red states are all going to be paying for this too now.

When I hear the mantra from the likes of Rick Perry and Scott Walker that Obamacare needs to be ‘repealed and replaced’ I hear the mantra of those who want to keep Obamacare with Republican window dressing instead.

The Uniparty of R’s and D’s is doing what big hospital companies. insurance companies and big pharma (drug) companies and so on want in the end.

Their stocks went up since we got O-Care and the tweet after the court ruling today. ‘HOSPITAL STOCKS JUMPED AFTER THE SUPREME COURT RULING ON FEDERAL SUBSIDIES FOR OBAMACARE HEALTH PLANS WERE LEGAL’.....

Obamacare should be repealed. That repeal will replace Obamacare - with freedom.

If the president elected in 2016 does not sign a repeal of Obamacare, then America will be completely unsalvageable. Until January of 2017, a repeal vote is irrelevant because the evil thug occupying our White House will veto any bill restoring the Constitution. [I’d like to see defunding, but Boehner and McConnell are both too disloyal for that.] I will continue praying that America will survive long enough to elect a real president.

A good president can even become one. Theodore Roosevelt eventually became more "progressive" than his progressive opponents. Thank God he didn't run for a second complete term.

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

-snip-

“The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

-snip-

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

Doesn't matter, GOP was going to bail it out anyway.

Obamacare will fail on it's own accord since Millennial's are not going to join.

They know they’re making sh*t up.

We know they’re making sh*t up.

They know we know they’re making sh*t up.

We know they know we know they’re making sh*t up.

There is no pretending anymore.

It’s a dictatorship.
