I hear there’s 30 thousand-plus marching (expect more). But go to Google to see which “Washington mar4ch” is being covered today and this weekend. The Enemy says they are confident, the media says they are confident, but Obama yesterday had to pitch his case to a bunch of college kids, none of whom every had job or paid a nickel in taxes, so who, were of course, enthusiastic. He still can’t summon the courage to bring his case in front of working folks.
That kind of confident.
(1600 hrs, my wife calls to say Obama was publicly taunting Republicans on TV. What’s that all about? Besides poor manners, which i can’t abide, it signals a win? A win that will turn into a loss? Or the insecure false bravado of a 12 year old? I’m betting on the last option.)
The Democrat side of the House can be divided into three camps; the true believing leftists (mad dogs), the house dogs who represent the national plantation, i.e, districts in which the only people with jobs are those who pass out state benefits to the other 70% without, plus the small cadre of people who pump their gas, flip their burgers, and sell them lottery tickets. All those jobs except the most menial is patronage. These two camps may make up, what, 150 of the House majority of 255? And while Steny Hoyer apologized for referring to us as “un-American” for protesting this un-constitutional outrage, we can feel confident and unapologetic that both of these groups are either un-American or anti-America, but also that none can be voted out of office. They are rock solid statists, in rock solid “client” districts” albeit for somewhat different reasons, and locked into their districts unless we want to bring back “section” into defining districts. (First things first.)
The rest are craven dogs. And today they are afraid, very afraid. For one, they fear a teat being jerked out of their mouth, “the sweet gig” of gypsies, tramps and thieves. And they also understand the pain of a swift quick in the hindquarters. But their most existential fear is that should they vote against health care they may be able to actually hold onto their seats, and the Dems their control of the House, in which case, probably Lady Nan would be around to continue to make their lives miserable. (Never forget Steny wants that chair very badly, but not enough to give up party control.)
So, our job (both citizens and the GOP in Congress) is to single these out and rank them, from 1 to 100, and make them fear us more. Make a swan dive off the Bay Bridge seem more appetizing than the alternative of facing us or Lady Nan down. With only 24 hours left, it still shouldn’t be that difficult, but now we need help from the GOP. A silver bullet.
What we can do: Keep it up. Just deny them the sanctuary of the CBO numbers being touted by Hoyer. Make them know we know the truth about those numbers. Deny them the sanctuary of legitimacy. What they are doing is unconstitutional, even if the Slaughter rule has been canned, as now being reported. If Dick Cheney can’t travel to Spain for fear of being arrested, let Tom Perriello (VA-05) know the Texas Rangers may soon be waiting to serve an arrest warrant on him for violating Texans’ rights should he ever decide to cross the state line for a Cowboys game. Deny them the sanctuary of morality. Deny them the company of decent people. Make them only keep the company of their own. Deny them the sanctuary of security. Let them know we are coming after their assets. And deny them the sanctuary of history.
They can’t run, they can’t hide. They are not even a part of history. They are history. Let the Congressional history books only note their terms with an asterisk.
The Republican Silver Bullet, which I recommend being sent via phone and fax now (we’ll save our own fatwa notices for later): Once the vote is cast, win or lose, the Republican Party…I’m speaking directly to Rep Boehner and Cantor here…should cast the mark of anathema on all of them…the Craven 100, I mean. (Let other sleeping dogs lie…til later.) Let them know this in advance. Let them know this is how it is and how it will be. This is not like being grounded for two weeks, a month, but for ever. Don’t speak to them, or shake hands, and in session, refer to them in the third person only, and through a third person. No more squash or handball, not even tickle fests in the sauna. Gaze on them only with the dead eyes as one looks at the condemned being marched down to meet his Maker. Cast a pall on their hearts and a pointed stick through their souls.
For you see, while the Mad Dog true believers and House dogs overseers believe in something, these Craven Dogs believe in nothing bigger then their own appetites. They hate their home town. Like Hollywood starlets in the 30′s, they ran for public office in order to be able to shake the dust of that grimy old burg from their shoes. They were never coming home again. So Just let them know…now they can’t…while at the same time working with men like Sen Coburn, denying them the safe haven of a new gig in LA or Seattle or New York. If they want to swap “all this and hometown, too” for a GS-12 desk job in Kuala Lumpur, well, we can’t reach that far to snip Mr Soros’ tentacles. But this side of the South China Sea, we can prevent their future.
And then, if they win this vote anyway, make them gag on it when they are reversed (in one of a number of ways) so that they will know they have lied, cheated and stole for naught.
It is best for them, and the Republic, if they know this now, Mr Boehner, in these last 24 hours, rather than next week after the last bridge has been burned.
Let them know there is still time to still walk among free people.

penguin2 (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 5:48PM EST (link)We could call it shunning. Old saying, “payday, not always on Friday.”
I think the Dems are desperate, otherwise Obama would not have lowered himself to “beg” on TV today, or as you said speak to college kids yesterday. Behind the false smile that he pastes on, he is seething, while trying to sell something no one wants to buy.
Let them be shunned.

Shunning? These scumbags have our little penguins feathers ruffled.
nessa (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 8:53PM EST (link)I’m all in, but that would surprise no one. For Penguin to advocate such clearly shows how far they have transgressed. Wikipedia, another non-surprise, labels shunning as psychological torture, but, according to them, what isn’t?
I suppose each community will have to decide for themselves. I’m going to suggest for my own community, that if Larry Kissell’s spine proves weak, he wear a scarlet #hcr or perhaps a T, for thief or taxer, it matters not which. Unfortunately branding them is a little over the top.

And I guess you’re right after all about the branding issue. You don’t brand pigs.
You are so right janis!! What an insult to cattle it would be...
nessa (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 9:21PM EST (link)…if we were to start branding congress-critters. They would be busting down fences to get out on the roads and commit suicide with the assistance of some poor semi-truck. I couldn’t have that on my conscience, compared to congress-critters I actually like cattle. They are accurately described as as whole bunch of sh!t and trouble tied up in a leather sack, but that’s a damn sight better than the things tied up inside a congress-critters leather sack.

We will make them rue the day. No country in the history of the world has had the experience of being American. In that light, they often mistake confidence for arrogance, while true arrogance comes from nothing but ego.
If we don’t fight, fight, fight, no one will know in the future.

Wow, I’ve only observed the dark. Funny, you never go overe to their websites and hear them prattle on about how they used to walk in the light but changed their minds.
True enough.

Vassar- I loved your reference to Perriello
Scope (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 6:58PM EST (link)“make him squirm” and “make him so uncomfortable that he can’t go through any of the C’Ville McDonalds without darkened windows.” This piece of crap, that led some on the path that he was undecided, is nothing more than a sheister. He did the same with Crap and Tax. He hasn’t fooled the 5th district in VA. Since you seem to know the 5th district race, I’m sure you know that he earmarked almost a million dollars for an environmental study in TEXAS. No lie.
Hell, he couldn’t get enough support in C’ville, at the townhalls, so he bussed in SEIU people. Young, dumb, and stupid they told local news people they had to be there because they had a stake in Obamacare. Oh, and BTW, it was reported yesterday, the C’ville unemployment rate went from 5.4% last month, to 6.6% this month.
Periello, a Catholic, said 2 days ago that he could now support the Senate bill because it did not provide federal money for abortions, and, something about the middle class not being taxed because of Obamacare. Perriello needs to go back to NY and to daddy Soros. At this point Mickey Mouse could send him a pink slip.
ps- Replacing Perriello is my most ardent goal

Kenny Solomon (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 9:55PM EST (link)I’ve been ‘a tad’ distracted lately and also a bit busy with work and my PA systems. In other words, I’ve now realized it’s long past my time to irritate some folks with a wordy missive, using roundabout structure.
Last evening, about 100 to 125 friends and newly met friends were outside the local office of CongressCritter Wasserman-Schmutz down here in South Flori-duh…… it’s in my town actually, about two miles from my subdivision on a very main intersection….. it’s also the location of our town’s city hall.
Interesting evening, especially with many LEO’s, fire and EMS driving by, waving, flashing their lights on and off quick and giving us the thumb’s up. I think it’s because we weren’t just out there as a ‘no to death panels’ thing. Many, many signs of positive messages and support for those who serve, instead a complete array of “no” this and “no” that.
Anyway, I digress……….
In all honesty, I figured the real adults here at RedState had things well under control covering the death panel legislation front, so I could go on with what I’d like to call ‘the rest of the story’ – that being other news and events that can and will affect us all, even our friends on the other side of life in the big voting booth.
As to the death knell of everyone’s freedom and many Rights when/if this insanely unconstitutional death care legislation passes, I’ll state something I ran up here before you graced us with your presence as a member……
My parents are in a nursing home…… together…… 63 years married. Dad’s 88, WWII combat veteran, severe Dementia, can’t walk, can’t form a coherent sentence. Mom’s 84, extremely frail, on the way with mild Dementia, can’t stand up or walk without assistance, etc.
They get fantastic 24/7 care and also a very nice amount of therapy from many extremely caring and highly gifted people in the nursing home and from outside.
As God is my witness, if the slightest untoward thing happens to either or both of them due to this current administration, we’re going to have a tad of a problem on our hands and I will most assuredly appear within that days news cycle in some manner, positively or negatively will depend on the situation at hand, if one occurs.
That being said, the single last thing I ever want to contemplate, let alone see come to fruition, is what my gut is telling me is indeed coming. Therefore, my fight will remain within our Constitution as written, not as usurped by those in positions at the moment who would willingly do great harm to humanity through the individual.
God help us all if we need to take things to a level not seen or dreamed occurring since the reasons our founding documents were generated.
Cheers and God Bless America……… She needs it now more than ever.
Something tells me, Kenny
Vassar Bushmills (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 10:03PM EST (link)…you’re fighting the real fight. We’re just shadow boxing. But bacuse of what you’re doing down wassremn-Schutz off ice, we may yet win.
I recall you have the replacement on call. Right?
In a way, yes.
Kenny Solomon (Diary) Saturday, March 20th at 10:27PM EST (link)Ms. Wasserman-Shultz is not my congressional representative. Part of her district starts right about at the location where this one office is located in my town though.
That being said, I do know her challenger – Mr. Robert Lowry – a fine gentleman who I’ve had the pleasure of hearing speak multiple times through my PA systems and conversing with in semi-private settings over a beverage or two.
As for me…… Heh…… My current CongressCritter is the lovely and talented Alcee Hastings (FL-23) with all the sundry and existential beauty he brings forth to our nation, state and community.
I am on the campaign staff (on call) of the gent who shall unseat the aforementioned clone of Beelzebub – one Bernard Sansaricq, gentleman extraordinaire.
I know that you and he would get along famously……. If you’re of the mind, ring him up through his website…… http://sansaricq4congress.org
Bernard’s communications director (Carmen) is an absolute gem as well…… may be best to contact her also.
