Health Care Law Repeal Taken Up in the House?

As the Boehner and his lackey, Cantor, already know it isn’t going to happen. Even if the House passes a bill to repeal the Health Care law, the Senate isn’t going too, and even if that happens, the President is going to veto it.

One thing’s for certain, this is a huge waste of time, and money. It’s all a show, and the GOP members of Congress all know it’s a show, and the talking heads at FOX PAC all know it’s a show. The only people who don’t seem to know it’s a show are their supporters/viewers. The Tea Party folks, and Limbaugh listening, Beck watching, mindless conservative rabble. The people who all complain about the government until their trailer court gets hit by a tornado, or is flooded out by a hurricane. The ones who declare you can have their guns when you pry them out of their cold dead fingers. And Rush, Hannity et. al., will sing their praises and claim the Dems are the party of No, and their listeners will nod vigorously, while forgetting blissfully how the GOP – 99% of the time as a block – voted against everything in the past two years.

The GOP members of Congress, in the mean time, will all thump their chests and say, “We put up a valiant fight to repeal the evil Obamacare, but those nasty Democrats wouldn’t allow us to, all they wanted to do was obstruct, obstruct, obstruct!”

Gee, I wonder who those mean old nasty Democrats might have learned that tactic from?

And here’s another thought, there’s nothing more important right now for the GOP Congress to tackle?

Like, oh I don’t know?

Passing a budget?

After all, it was one of those things the GOP was all upset about until it came into power. Now suddenly it’s, “Budget, smudget we’ll get around to it after we do all this really important stuff”.

And, what about passing the Defense Authorization Bill?

Gee, maybe the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan would like to know there’s money to support them?

I don’t know, maybe?

Words don’t matter

One day, when one of your children draws cross hairs over a brother or sister’s face in a picture; don’t worry, it doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a drawing.

If they scream at one of their siblings “I’m going to kill you!” Don’t be alarmed, it’s just words.

If they scream at you, “I hate you!” It’s nothing to be upset about. It’s OK, words don’t mean anything.

If the teacher says “I wish someone would punch another teacher in the face”, and some student does it, it’s not the teacher’s fault; it’s the fault of the student who throws the punch. If the same teacher says, “I wish someone would punch (put your kid’s name here) and your child gets beat up. Don’t blame the teacher. It’s not their fault. It’s those kids who beat up your kid.

Patrick Henry didn’t really mean to inspire anyone when he said “Give me liberty, or give me death!” They were just words.

“Common Sense” by Thomas Paine didn’t really hold any sway in the fight for Independence, it was just some words.

The Declaration of Independence doesn’t really mean anything. It’s just a bunch of words. You weren’t supposed to really believe that all men are endowed with anything …

“Love thy neighbor as thy self,” doesn’t really mean that. Words don’t have any consequences. They don’t mean anything. “I love you” doesn’t really mean that.

The Ten Commandments are just words, guidelines maybe, they can’t really mean anything.

Or is it just the violent words that don’t mean anything? The ones meant to whip up the base?

But they really can’t mobilize the base can they? I mean, they don’t have any meaning. Do they?

People Are Trying to Muzzle Descent With Shrill Cries of Imagined Insults?

So, Sarah speaks, and of course she blames everyone else for what happened, and called her and others words as simply being part of “vigorous debate” in America. She called those calling her and others out as starting a “blood libel”. Claiming people are trying to “muzzle her descent with shrill cries of imagined insults”.

“Republicans don’t retreat, they reload” or “I hope that’s not where we’re going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I’ll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out,” are not “imagined” Ms. Palin.

(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/sarah-palin/8255089/Arizona-shooting-Sarah-Palin-accuses-opponents-of-blood-libel.html)

Asking that you, and other so-called “patriots”, to not use violent rhetoric is not stifling you – or them – from exercising free speech or descent. Talking about “reloading” and “watering the tree of liberty” may be how people talk about politics in Wasilla, but most Americans try to leave the political speak of the 19th century where it belongs, in the the 19th century. You are not qualified to talk about “peacefully engaging” when you have time-after-time used discourse that is violent. Please do us all a favor and just fade away like all other failed vice-presidential candidates, your foot note is waiting.

This is not Patriotic …

The so-called “patriot” or “citizen” in this picture is not just making some “political statement”, he is making a direct threat of armed insurrection against the freely elected constitutional government of these United States. That, by the way, is not patriotic, it’s treason.

Tree of Liberty Needs to be …

Well, you got your wish. The tree has been watered with the blood of a Congresswoman, her aide, a Federal Judge and nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green, born on 9-11, who wanted to help her community. Ain’t it a proud moment?

Words have meanings, and they have consequences.

Don’t glibly throw around words about revolution, and watering the tree of liberty, unless you’re willing to see – and live with – whose blood is spilt to pay for your words.

Just because the 1st Amendment protects your right to say it, doesn’t mean you should. Yes Tea Party, this means you. You can disagree with the President and the Democratic Party without talking about murder and insurrection. Stop comparing yourselves to the patriots of 1776, because there is no comparison. You, and your rhetoric, make me sick.

Today’s Tea Party is Yesterday’s Facism?

There is a dangerous similarity between groups who beat up those who oppose them …


Political violence repeating itself?

While there may be many in the Tea Party who would not commit violence, there are others committing violence in the name of the party.

Democrat Pushed to Ground by Police at GOP Event

“We the People” are not allowed to descent against Republicans or Tea Party candidates? Apparently not.

What are these officers thinking?

Can you say excessive force?

Can you say law suit?

Can you say you’re next career will be as a mall cop?

Violent Revolution is on the Table?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/22/stephen-broden-revolution_n_772391.html

If Tea Party members don’t want to be blamed for the speech, views or actions of the few, than those of us who do not support the Tea Party movement need to hear you denouncing those lunatic few in newspapers, on TV, on radio talk shows etc. If you’re going to insist – with FOX News – that all terrorists are Muslim, than by the same logic, we get to insist that all political  lunatics are Tea Party members.

The Tea Party is being branded as a bunch of nut jobs threatening the very Constitution it claims to love. Political descent as an American is one thing, threatening opened rebellion if you don’t get what you want is another. And unfortunately, Pastor Broden’s is not just one extremist view, we’ve all seen the signs at rallies, and heard Sharon Angle, Sarah Palin, Christine O’Donnell and many other “Tea Party” nominees make similar statements. We’ve seen the gun toting Tea party members at rallies, and watched as a Tea Party nominated candidate for the United States  Senate had his private security force arrest a journalist for asking questions he didn’t like. These are signs of a group threatening to rebel, and wanting to overthrow the very fabric of our Republic, and it is troubling.

When the movement uses slogans like “We’re going to take our country back” coupled with images of people carrying automatic weapons, and its candidates saying that “Violent revolution is on the table” than large numbers of people who are associated with the Tea Party, but who disagree with the rhetoric, need to speak out; otherwise you may find yourselves being found guilty by association. After all, members of your group have been saying the President is guilty by association to all kinds of people and causes, so Tea Party members may find the same to be true. What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander.
