Yes, and this is obviously why your democrat Congressmen and Senators have been so willing and happy to meet with their constituents to talk about health care reform, and why nearly 60% of Americans polled want the health care bill your side recently passed repealed.

Yeh—”them” Vs “we...’the’ people”...

Considering the riot police were sent out to the Quincy Tea Party rally to oppose those rioting bingo chip throwing grammas...
Oh, wait, the grammas were peacefully standing there.

How come I get the feeling this clown in Washington is going to order some people shot?

No Barry, government is NOT us.

It is a necessary evil at best — a bureaucratic overlay on top of the actual society.

Hard to believe I live about 30 miles away in a very conservative town.

""Phrases like 'socialist' and 'Soviet-style takeover,' 'fascist' and 'right-wing nut' may grab headlines," he said. But such language "closes the door to the possibility of compromise."

Zer0 IS a fascist socialist.
