Via, er, HotAirPundit, red meat courtesy of the good folks who hijacked our last thread.
The Democrat in question is Brian “Brown Shirts” Baird, thus the pounding he takes here is extra gratifying.
Not sure I follow the Marine’s point about what right the feds have to tell him he can keep his insurance plan, though.
Presumably he’s making a Commerce Clause argument a la Rivkin and Casey, but if growing weed on your own farm for your own use constitutes “quintessentially” economic activity, wouldn’t a program that affects 15 percent of the entire U.S. economy also qualify?
If the public wants single-payer, hey — that’s democracy, red in tooth and claw.

That distant thunder that you may hear rolling through far-off hills is war.
War is coming. Here. Soon.
And, like my father before me, I am prepared. I am prepared to honor my oath.
And I won't be alone.
“As a Marine I’ve kept my oath, will you ever intend to keep yours?”
Fire for effect!
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what rumbles across the country, a wave that can not be stopped.
Oh - did you also catch the “I didn’t call you brownshirts, but I apologized for it” weasel words from that criminal piece of filth? Lord Almighty, do we need a housecleaning.
Every American needs to see and hear this exchange.
He nails Pelosi like no other has...and his words are the words of truth.

I, David William Hedrick, a member of the silent majority, decided that I was not going to be silent anymore. So, I let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it. I was one questioner out of 38, that was called at random from an audience that started at 3,000 earlier in the evening. Not expecting to be called on, I quickly scratched what I wanted to say on a borrowed piece of paper and with a pen that I borrowed from someone else in the audience minutes before I spoke. So much for the planned talking points of the right wing conspiracy.

Duty,honor,country.
Semper Fi.
**War is coming.**
We’re going to need more of those Marines on OUR Side. Actually we’re going to need ALL of them on our side. Even tho it is the ENEMY that signs their paychecks!!
This is quite a man! America is on the right path to freeing ourselves.
Most excellent!
He makes more than one excellent point.

And then he turned his back on the putrescence on the stage and walked away to the arms of his family. Good for him and those like him. God bless them all.

Absolutely awesome smackdown of an obviously outmanned politician. Thank you so much for the ping, ExTexasRedhead.
I’ve sent it to Rush, Beck, and Roger Hedgecock. I hope it gets on their shows tomorrow. I pray the Socialists in DC get a dose of it too.
God Bless Our Troops! Their job is even harder with the disgraces in government. Enemies foreign and domestic!
