Patrick says Obama critics are 'almost at the level of sedition'

Governor Deval Patrick, even as he decried partisanship in Washington, said today that Republican opposition to President Obama’s agenda has become so obstinate that it “is almost at the level of sedition.”

The Democratic governor, who is close to the president, made the comments at a forum at Suffolk Law School's Rappaport Center, where he was asked by an audience member about partisan battling in Congress.

One wonders if the Mass. Gov. ever heard of Bunker Hill!

[rawhide]

But the ones who were against Bush, calling for his assassination, are patriots? Right? /s

This governor needs to have his head examined, at the local looney-tune farm!

[Grunthor]

Just two years ago it was; “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism” and now it’s sedition.

The anti-American socialist in our White House has nominated a judge who approves of rationing speech and other tactics in clear violation of the Constitution to sit on the Supreme Court. He has approved a budget that quadruples Bush’s already shocking deficits. The Kenyan/Indonesian/Hawaiian from Chicago has systematically weakened our country and strengthened our enemies. He has burdened our children and grandchildren with a staggering level of debt. The community organizer has transferred our wealth from those who actually produced that wealth to those who stuffed the ballot boxes for his and for his cronies. Sedition? There was a time when men like Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and John Adams responded far more harshly to far less provocation.

Don’t know who Charlie Baker is. We got our own problems in NH. Most of the electorate seems hell bent on turning the place into Massachusetts North :( :( :(
But not if I can help it, which is why I’m running for a seat in the legislature.

Was he braindead between 1/20/01 to 1/20/09?

He's a Clintonite. There's your answer.

[RatRipper]

What part of “the consent of the governed” does he not understand?

[Danae]

It is our RIGHT to question and ABOLISH the government if it is no longer serving the will of the People.

It IS NOT serving the will of the people.

Sometimes, You gotta tell it like it is.

And if that's not enough...

...a long train of abuses and usurpations,...

“You must bow to government authority, peasants!”

Attention All Libtards in the Regime:
They are on one knee, but:
1. Those are armed citizens, not peasants.
2. That position gives them a more steady aim.

A thanks to Travis McGee for his line I used as a lead in line.

...opposition to President Obama’s agenda has become so obstinate that it “is almost at the level of sedition.”...

Oh, please don't throw me in the briar patch!

We're still talking, Guv.

Start to worry when we decide talking is a waste of time.
