The Blood of Tyrants...

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independent 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century & half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it's natural manure."-Thomas Jefferson, 1787

…And the Democrats running Congress are quickly becoming tyrants my friends!!

In the most recently cowardly act, the Senate voted tonite to advance the so-called health reform bill to debate. This vote of course was strictly on party line, 60-39.

Make no mistake, this was a predetermined outcome and, unfortunately for our country, it will ultimately pass out of the Senate and sometime down the road into law. The turncoat senators who voted simply to advance the bill know this. Once you open that door, it is only a quick trip to final passage in a super-majority Senate. Even if those turncoats like Mary Landrieu of LA, Blanche Lincoln of AK or Ben Nelson of NE don’t end up supporting the final bill, Harry Reid will simply invoke the “reconciliation” rule and pass the bill with only a simple majority—with Joe “plugs” Biden breaking a tie if needed.

Disgrace, back room corrupt deals were made to buy voted for Harry Reid. The most blatant that has come to light was that of Mary “baby fat” Landrieu of LA who will get $100 Million dollars of YOUR (and your children’s) money and treasure to gain her support for this bill. Here is the offending legal-ease jibberish that bought off this Marrxist:
SEC. 2006. SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT TO FMAP DETERMINATION FOR CERTAIN STATES RECOVERING FROM A MAJOR DISASTER.
Section 1905 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396d), as amended by sections 2001(a)(3) and2001(b)(2), is amended— (1) in subsection (b), in the first sentence, by striking ‘‘subsection (y)’’ and inserting ‘‘subsections (y) and (aa)’’; and (2) by adding at the end the following new subsection:‘‘(aa)(1) Notwithstanding subsection (b), beginning January 1, 2011, the Federal medical assistance percentage for a fiscal year for a disaster-recovery FMAP adjustment State shall be equal to the following:‘(A) In the case of the first fiscal year (or part of a fiscal year) for which this subsection applies to the State, the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), increased by 50 percent of the number of percentage points by which the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), is less than the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the preceding fiscal year after the application of only subsection (a) of section 5001 of Public Law 111–5 (if applicable to the preceding fiscal year) and without regard to this subsection, subsection (y), and subsections (b) and (c) of section 5001 of Public Law 111–5.
‘‘(B) In the case of the second or any succeeding fiscal year for which this subsection applies to the State, the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the preceding fiscal year under this subsection for the State, increased by 25 percent of the number of percentage points by which the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the fiscal year without regard to this subsection and subsection (y), is less than the Federal medical assistance percentage determined for the State for the preceding fiscal year under this subsection.
‘‘(2) In this subsection, the term ‘disaster-recovery FMAP adjustment State’ means a State that is one ofthe 50 States or the District of Columbia, for which, at any time during the preceding 7 fiscal years, the President has declared a major disaster under section 401 of the Robert T.

Miss Landrieu is of course just another anti-Constitutional, anti-American, anti-free market statist who will sell out the future of her country for her own power and position in Washington. This IS the reason; there is no other explanation for such a despicable display of ignorance for our Constitution. She will also ultimately vote for whatever monstrosity final bill is put out by Harry Reid and Obama. Harry Reid has just given her cover for now and she is making excuses for the disdain she has for the people she supposedly represents.
And Harry Reid, there are few words that can be used to describe this sad excuse of a man. Mr. Reid went as far tonite as comparing the importance of this bill to the debate that ended slavery and gave women the right to vote among others. Mr. Reid is facing a disastrous reelection bid in his state and he is bound to destroy our Republic and institutions before he is thrown out of office next year.
As Conservatives, we must commit and follow through in not only telling these turncoats that we object to what they are doing but that we will work to defeat them and financially support true Conservative candidates wherever they are. WE MUST FOLLOW THROUGH IN THIS ENDEAVOR!!.
And remember, do NOT try and debate the costs and emotional ploy that liberal Marxists will try to use to justify their evil intentions, but instead simply remind them that this is an usurpation of their power and is clearly illegal and un-Constitutional and for that reason alone must be rejected.
The alternatives to not beating this or those that must be employed if they do not listen are not desired but must be reserved as a right and obligation as active citizens of this country. If not, as UK Telegraph writer Gerald Warner said: "this will all end in tears."
These are indeed frightening and troubling times on so many fronts in this country. Although I am confident that Americans one day will recognize the danger that socialist liberals and big government policies pose to our country, I am not nearly as confident that most will recognize it in time or be willing to do what is required to stop and reverse it.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.
God Bless America! (while we still have it!)
