Are you kidding me???

More and more extreme examples of expression (which, by the way, is not an absolute constitutional freedom)...There's free speech that benefits a civil society and then there's this...It does nothing for debate.

From DailyKos:

"... the group of Tea Baggers who hanged an effigy of Rep. Frank Kratovil (D-MD) from a noose in front of his district office a few weeks ago. Then there was the case yesterday where a few folks at a tea bag protest outside a townhall meeting in Hartford called on Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) to commit suicide as a way to cure his recently diagnosed prostate cancer. And even though it lacked any clear appeal to the murder of public officials or even a good suicide joke, I'm still pretty fond of this case on Tuesday where the head of the local Tea Party group up in Rome, New York just started yelling 'liar' over and over at a clearly befuddled and caught off guard Steny Hoyer.

On Tuesday, Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.) held a press conference on the "cash for clunkers" program and was met by "dozens" of conservative protesters trying to drown him out. The protest was organized by the St. Louis Tea Party, whose Bill Hennessy told protesters the location, the time, and what to bring ("Sign ideas: Cash for Clunkers destroys old cars; ObamaCare destroys old people").

On the day of the protest Hennessy put up another post attacking the White House for setting up an email address to answer questions about "fishy" rumors about health care reform.

Barack Obama wants to turn everyone into a Nazi snitch.

The Nazis used snitches, including children, to turn in enemies of the state. Barack Obama has unleashed a program inspired by the National Socialists to identify and, presumably, punish citizens who speak out against socialized medicine. [...]

Eric Odom of American Liberty Alliance wants to turn the tables on our Fuhrer."

There's a lot of anger out there...


Give me a break! Who knew that Republicans losing control of the government would get so many of the bat shit crazies out of the woodwork so quickly...I do find it amusing that all of these folks never gave a second thought to the constitutionality of the myriad power grabs President Obama's predecessor routinely took... This does, however, have the potential to get ugly and violent...Certain talking heads have used their positions to amp up anger to irrational levels in many cases...Free societies need free discourse, but people need to realize that they may ultimately hold some culpability for the actions of those they incote...

Constitution assailed

Where in the U.S. Constitution does it give government the right to:

1. Void legal contracts for executive bonuses;

2. Take over financial institutions;

3. Take over insurance industries;

4. Take over auto industries;

5. Take over the housing industry;

6. Take over the health industry;

7. Take over the energy industries;

8. Fire the executives from those companies and put in its own cronies;

9. Reward unions with majority ownership of the auto industries;

10. Give investors just pennies on the dollar;

11. Set salaries of company officers;

12. Read Miranda rights to terrorists (they are not American citizens);

13. Fire and disgrace an inspector general without a 30-day investigation;

14. Give terrorists the same rights to the American judicial system as U.S. citizens;

15. Threaten to set salaries of private companies;

16. Redistribute the wealth of those who are successful.

The answer to the above? They are all unconstitutional!

Yet our messiah could care less, because he was elected president and what he says is the new U.S. Constitution. He has no intent of adhering and obeying the Constitution because of his arrogance and egotistical craving for power. Remember, during the campaign he said, "I not only want to change America, I want to change the world!" I think he dreams of ruling it too.

He has 40-plus unelected czars?! That's scary. (Hitler and Stalin also surrounded themselves with czars because they answered to nobody but their leaders.) Obama's czars answer only to him as to their performances. He alone decides their authority because he is the one intent on destroying the private sector, small businesses and our rights.

I'll loudly say it again: Wake up America! Your constitutional freedoms are under assault by Obama and his leftist radicals!
