They might riot next

RESIZE: AAA

This is just funny, funny, funny to watch.

Do you really think Senators are going to be in a mood to socialize the American healthcare system after experiencing stuff like this from rural Louisiana:

    Certainly do hope that gentleman didn’t provide any ID to the event coordinators. The libs seem to extract payback for using the S word on them.
    Ha ha ha ha!

    The end result of their legislation is still far a ways from socialism. Honestly.

  • randy streu

    But it’s damn sure the road that gets me there.

  • cookcountyconservative

    with the clipboards? What’s up with that – are they enrolling people in the new health plan already?

    I’ll have to remember to bring a clipboard to my next Tea Party.
    Really, I want to look official and start taking names.

    Thank’s Erick!

    and his minions are to blind to see it. This is the waterloo for US too WE MUST STOP THIS TRAVESTY. I do NOT want the elites in this country “deciding” my health coverage and I certainly DON’T want them deciding whether my mother-in-law can decide to fight for her life when she gets older either as a human being that is her decision! damn vultures.

    You may well change that to most definitely if you put some boots on the ground. I am reporting from deep behind enemy lines, the Happy Valley of Western Mass, yes liberal La-La Land. Us ?right wing extremists? are not the one you have to worry about. I am seeing a shift in some the liberal left and a devout anger growing. Betrayal is one of the strongest inspirations to do harm and I am seeing so much of it lately it is scary. Us ?right wing extremists? are having weekly standouts peacefully holding signs and passing out information and all that fun stuff. I tell you it is down right scary when the liberal left actually asks me a ?right wing extremists? for more information and agrees with me. Some, so red in the face they look like they are going to explode. At what point this boils over and explodes on the left I don?t know but I can attest that we do seem to be headed there in a hurry.

    Come senators, congressmen
    Please heed the call
    Don’t stand in the doorway
    Don’t block up the hall
    For he that gets hurt
    Will be he who has stalled
    There’s a battle outside
    And it is ragin’.
    It’ll soon shake your windows
    And rattle your walls
    For the times they are a-changin’.

    Steppenwolf MONSTER

    seems more fitting

    The spirit was freedom and justice
    And it’s keepers seem generous and kind
    It’s leaders were supposed to serve the country
    But now they won’t pay it no mind
    ‘Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
    And now their vote is a meaningless joke
    They babble about law and order
    But it’s all just an echo of what they’ve been told
    Yeah, there’s a monster on the loose
    It’s got our heads into a noose
    And it just sits there watchin’

    Our cities have turned into jungles
    And corruption is stranglin’ the land
    The police force is watching the people
    And the people just can’t understand
    We don’t know how to mind our own business
    ‘Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
    Now we are fighting a war over there
    No matter who’s the winner
    We can’t pay the cost
    ‘Cause there’s a monster on the loose
    It’s got our heads into a noose
    And it just sits there watching

    (America)
    America where are you now?
    Don’t you care about your sons and daughters?
    Don’t you know we need you now
    We can’t fight alone against the monster

    on her face at the end of the clip. Its “don’t these redneck Cajuns understand that what I’m telling them is for there own good?”

  • LISA BULLOCK-HOCK

    That was the exact look. “little people you are too stupid to know what is best for you and how to spend your money. That is why the fed is going to take most of it through cap in trade and new taxes and decide how much you should have. You’ll be happier with us running your life.”

    America–that is what liberals want to do. Obama is a “selective” Marxist — that is he wants to marginalize anyone that could oppose the government and think the way conservatives do–small government, people are responsible for themselves, no excuses, no making people victims just to exploit them, ect…and keep us in our place. Wake up people.

    The people who sit around DC or in urban salons coming up with schemess to help the “little guy” that they love so much and think so little of, are typically shocked when they come face-to-face with thier “brothers in labor” and discover that most of the blue-collar workers in this country don’t WANT the government “helping” them; at best, they just want to make sure that the government isn’t helping the OTHER guys.

    Used to be that “the other guys” were big-business owners who used regulation and legislation to line thier own pockets to everyone else’s detriment, but these days you can add in the welfare-rights groups and the environmental groups willing to sacrifice as many jobs as necessary to asuage our collective eco-sins.

    This is the nerve that Regan hit so successfully. Our current crop of congressional “leaders” would do well to take this lesson to heart

  • Next93

    Early in the campaign I kept hearing about McCain’s vaunted temper, but not once did I hear the kind of fire-in-the belly opposition to socialist policies heard here.

    In fact, the only time I recall hearing McCain sound angry was when he was scolding Republicans, claming that he really IS a “conservative”.

    but roll her eyes as she looks over her shoulder and waves the microphone in exasperation.

    If there was a ‘cloud’ caption above her head at that moment it would have said:

    “Good Lord, how *stupid* are these people?”

    Probably went back to her swanky hotel room and took a long, hot shower to rid herself of whatever airborne pathogens infected the air.

    No other Republican can say that about the primary season.

    What happened in 2008 was more about racism than it was about McCain.

  • gonzo55

    is to socialize more of the country and increase the number of people relying on the federal government for day-to-day needs. This is why all his gassy rhetoric has focused on expanding coverage, and not on cutting costs, as Bush tried to do.

  • paulrevereisdead

    I wish every one of those people who stood proud and condemned socialized medicine would give up their subsidized medication and pay full price. It’s hypocritical to argue against one aspect of socialized medicine when you benefit from the other. Armchair conservatives are no friends of the movement.

    The worst mistake Bush43 ever made was that stupid drug plan.

    Can’t do it?

    Then stop pretending that you can telepathically detect a hypocrite on sight.

  • janis

    when it counted. Unless you count “last man standing due to bizarre circumstances.” Given the grudging support amongst R’s for McCain during the campaign, a support that was, by the way, completely squandered by the man and led directly to Obama as POTUS, the best I could say about his “victory” is that at least we didn’t have Huckabee as our candidate.

    Had McCain heeded his own admonition to “Fight, FIGHT, FIGHT!!”, we might have won over more of those voters who saw no difference between the candidates. Especially when one of them made it a habit to praise his opponent, pull his punches on calling the man out on his true beliefs, and then allowed his only real asset to be sabotaged by his own people. And what did we, the hard-used voters get from our support for him? We got Meghan McCain.

    All things considered, we ought to sue the man for fraud.

  • http://www.hakubi.us/ Neil Stevens

    Yeah, after his results in South Carolina and Florida, he was the last man standing because he knocked everyone else out.

  • OneCleverCookie

    far away at present, but constant drip of collectivism is their method.
