Protesters disrupt town-hall healthcare talks("..revolution in our country..")
The Estacada News / Reuters ^ | August 8, 2009 | Matthew Bigg and Nick Carey

At scattered events across the United States, protesters are confronting members of Congress whose summer "town hall" meetings aim to get a sense of how Americans feel about overhauling healthcare.

Boiling Springs in South Carolina -- population 4,500 -- was true to its name on Thursday, giving U.S. Representative Bob Inglis a taste of rising anger among conservative voters toward President Barack Obama's reform plan.

"There is no way, shape or form we need to have a national healthcare system. No! Nothing! None! It's got to stop now," said one man who addressed the audience of 300 people to sustained applause.

The plans seek to provide coverage to nearly 46 million uninsured Americans and bring down healthcare costs.

Conservatives say they will lead to a nationalized healthcare system where government, rather than doctors, will make medical decisions. They say the plans will end up costing them more and boost the federal deficit.

"MAINSTREAM AMERICA"

"I consider myself just an average American but there is not a day or a week that goes by that I don't hear talk about revolution in our country because (of) the government," said a man who called himself a "conservative, mainstream American."

"We (the United States under Obama) have gone so far out of the Constitution," he said to a standing ovation.

Other speakers asked about "martial law" and "forced vaccinations" and when the topic turned to illegal immigrants in the Bible Belt town, someone shouted: "Bus them home."

Last week, a crowd in Philadelphia directed boos at Obama's Health and Human Services secretary, Kathleen Sibelius, and Democratic Senator Arlen Specter.

Protesters disrupted another meeting on Thursday in Tampa, Florida, with cries of "tyranny," and police made arrests at a similar meeting in St. Louis, Missouri.(continued)

I am in the front lines and I sure hope some air cover is on the way. FROM THE REPUBLICANS!

We'll get as much air cover from the Pubes as the Cubans got from JFK at the Bay of Pigs - nada, zilch, bupkes. We're on our own.

Maybe we could have a Capitalist party to go against the Democrats. But right now we have to have allies even RINOS and moderates to stop the Obamunists. I am convinced he is a product of KGB influence in the 60’s and the KGB network built after WW2.

That's the problem... how can we ally ourselves to useless politicians with an "R" next to their name? They are absolutely useless, and in most cases complicit in what Obama is doing.

On this one issue we have the American people on our side. This is bigger than both Parties combined. This is HUGH AND SERIES!! This is the beginning of end of the two Party system.

Has anyone heard from the Republican Party?

The army will split before obeying any order from Obama to take to the street in tanks.

They should be right in the middle of this mess screaming their lungs out.

Yes, I do think the Republican party could be more outspoken. But not screaming. The screaming party is the party of Obama.

Good analogy.

Was the "Pubes" instead of "Pubbs" deliberate? /grin

That analysis makes a fair amount of sens.

HOWEVER, it seems to avoid taking into account that

THE POWERS BEHIND, UNDER, AROUND AND IN OTHUGA

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOTS

OF DEATH, MAYHEM, MURDER, VIOLENCE, CHAOS.

Seriously. They really do.

It is a ‘delicious’ part of their plan that they are licking their chops over in anticipation.

1. It furthers their population reduction goals.
2. It makes a GRAND EXCUSE for martial law.
3. It moves the country and the planet that much closer to coercing the world’s populace into a global government . . . for PEACE, STABILITY, and other grand compulsions that chaos is such a ‘wonderful’ shoehorn to.

END TIMES “B” LIST PING.

La Marseillaise

Arise children of the fatherland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny's
Bloody standard is raised
Listen to the sound in the fields
The howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midst
To cut the throats of your sons and consorts

To arms citizens Form your battalions
March, march
Let impure blood
Water our furrows

What do they want this horde of slaves
Of traitors and conspiratorial kings?
For whom these vile chains
These long-prepared irons?
Frenchmen, for us, ah! What outrage
What methods must be taken?
It is us they dare plan
To return to the old slavery!

What! These foreign cohorts!
They would make laws in our courts!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would cut down our warrior sons
Good Lord! By chained hands
Our brow would yield under the yoke
The vile despots would have themselves be
The masters of destiny

Tremble, tyrants and traitors
The shame of all good men
Tremble! Your parricidal schemes
Will receive their just reward
Against you we are all soldiers
If they fall, our young heros
France will bear new ones
Ready to join the fight against you

Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors
Bear or hold back your blows
Spare these sad victims
That they regret taking up arms against us
But not these bloody despots
These accomplices of Bouillé
All these tigers who pitilessly
Ripped out their mothers' wombs

Children's verses

We too shall enlist
When our elders' time has come
To add to the list of deeds
Inscribed upon their tombs
We are much less jealous of surviving them
Than of sharing their coffins
We shall have the sublime pride
Of avenging or joining them

Drive on sacred patriotism
Support our avenging arms
Liberty, cherished liberty
Join the struggle with your defenders
Under our flags, let victory
Hurry to your manly tone
So that in death your enemies
See your triumph and our glory!

[tyrannically,ruthlessly,
horrendously, destructively,
MURDEROUSLY]

our lives,
and we want
freedom!!!!
There’s

debate!!!
It’s that damn simple.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

PLEASE excuse a bit of editorializing.

Mostly, it’s to divide, conquer and shred to dead.

There’s a lot less to conquer when lots of patriotic citizens have been shredded to dead.

And a lot less left to have to manage and feed and watch out for.

I’d love to think that would be true.

It won’t.

If they have to nuke DC to prevent it, it won’t.

Or, if they allow it, somehow, they’ll destructively use it to their advantage.

They’ve been planning for this conflict a very very very long time.

INDEED.

The GOP is just the smiley face on the side of the coin which on the other side shows a demonized critter from hell with a fiendish, murderous grin.
