   This tweet’s content should be part of every “stump speech” delivered by every Republican candidate for office in 2010.

   It should be repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ….. again.

   I don’t recommend breaking laws to anyone else, but if the wreckonciliation “passes” unConstitutionally, my exemptions claimed are going to “44″.

   I’ve called, emailed, written letters to Congress and the editor. I’m one of many who make up a majority, and we’re not being listened to. I take time out of a very busy schedule to do so.

   I think it’s time for peaceful disobedience. Try “wreckonciling” your checkbook when you don’t get any taxes paid!

    This Congress has declared war on the citizens if they “deem” gov’t healthcare into law without voting on it. They will have left behind any pretense of the rule of law, consent of the governed or legitimacy.

    @Badideaguy – I like that one. It’s the only real control we have over our tax bill. If everyone adjusted their withholding so that virtually nothing was being withheld then the taxes came in on April 15th the next year it would have an effect. You have to remember to save the money for April.
    I used to adjust mine so that I always owed them something rather than let them hold it interest free.

    This is why, ultimately, it will be necessary to undertake some form of — hopefully peaceful — revolution in the next few years. When you have people like the donks who are willing to do anything to get what they want — lie, cheat, break the law, make up the rules as they go along — stopping them with resolutions, motions and proposed amendments isn’t going to work.

    It’s a pity that a Second American Revolution is going to be needed, but that became inevitable when the donks were handed dictatorial power in 2008. They got used to it, and now they don’t want to give it up.

    My friends who are here know I’ve had to severely limit my time online, and know why.

    I wish I had the strength to march, to gather with, those TEA party Patriots.

    I’ve phoned, FAX-ed, emailed, sent letters… No one in either House listens, or even cares. I give to Constutionalists — regardless of political party and at all levels. I lay awake in my bed, wondering what else I can do…

    If anyone has suggestions, please tell me!

    But this, this is the future under Cockroach Care: After a certain age, after a stroke, you’ll be too expensive to help or to keep.

    All my life I have been converting our savings into hard currency: silver and then gold, (when it became legal again to do so). I have don’t have insurance, and I don’t want it. During the time I was insensate after my stroke, my hospital bills were paid by my family, from our hard currency store. This will be impossible after Der Cockroach rams this through…

    ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    (a little venting, please forgive the length: my heart is sick for Our Country, Our Beloved Republic… you can skip this part if you’d like)

    What we have is the complete savings of our family line for 5 generations. It is a sizable sum for a person or family, but not a lot for a ravenous government.

    It is a Stewardship, and it isn’t mine, nor my Wife’s (If it was, which one? The passed beyond The Vail, the current one?) Not my children’s, or their children’s — just as it wasn’t my Father’s nor his Father’s.

    Now these Abominations of an ObamaNation, those self-aggrandizing, fatuous, feckless, residues of flatulence desire that I should tender to THEM my Stewardship over MY Family?

    They tell me that I will not be as wise as they, nor as careful in the allocation of it!

    They insist that we are selfish to keep it!

    They insist that it is their right: that it is their money!

    They desire to waste it. Look at how practiced they are already!

    They will buy votes with it.
    They will use it to increase tyranny.

    It IS NOT YOURS. You will NOT TOUCH IT.

    We have held Family Council. I speak for all of us, and I have one thing to say:

    In a pig’s eye, Cockroach! Go crawl back under that rock that spawned you! And take the twin Evils running the two People’s House’s with you!

    We give large amounts of our substance to the poor, both through the Church, (we’re LDS, and we give more than required via Tithe & the Fast Offering Donation) and to secular institutions.

    We even give large amounts to other religious charities. All those that we give to utilize more than 70% to directly help the destitute, poor, and needy (I research this, and I am very careful in whom we give our money to — I don’t want it wasted…). The Federal Assistance programs aren’t as careful stewards.

    We’ve used it to help neighbors, almost always w/o their finding out it was us.

    I don’t say these things to blow our own collective horn, nor do we want accolades. Heavenly Father will judge if I’ve been Steward enough. As He did those prior and will those post.

    Coming to the high side of my 90s, I’m glad that I will not live long under this Reich of Cockroachs, but I am saddened that seemingly my posterity must.

    So, after discussing it at Family Council, this we do swear:

    Before we let The Cockroach-In-Chief lay a finger on EVEN the dust of *OUR* gold and silver, we will:
    (1) give it all to the LDS Church.
    This troubles me, in that I am certain that Der Cockroach plans to confiscate all that every church in the US owns, so we are also considering:
    (2) melt it down & pour it from a helicopter over an empty part of the ocean. (… favorite granddaughter’s contribution, age 9…[grin&wink])
    (3) mail each coin to random people in other countries.
    (4) Will give it to Israel, (although I’m not certain how to go about this, or if they would accept it…)
    (4) No matter the cost or effort necessary, we will put it beyound his reach! We will NOT feed his Devouring Beast.

    One thing is certain, this Cockroach Reich will not get it! We will not reward evil. Breaking the Compact of the Constitution — while claiming it as The Source of Authority by these robber-barons to enslave our people IS evil.

It never fails to amaze the casual observer how freakin’ out of touch with reality Gibbs has become.

    At least Baghdad Bob carried off his warped sense of reality a bit more convincingly than Gibbs. He even had a sense of style. As to Gibbs… this guy proves the point that not every aide to a campaign can be a press secretary. Unfortunately, Gibbs just garbles the already mishmashed, contradictory messages of the Obummer administration.

    You would think that anyone in government would be familiar with the following:

    That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
