#3 This won't work with all 2,074 pages of the health care bill. Any idea how long that will take to read?

#6 Not sure Broadhead6, but I'm beginning to gain a new appreciation for how it happened the first time.

#7 I think right now would be a good time for some massive tea parties in front of each and every senator's office. I don't have the time or the organizational skills to get it started but I'd certainly like to participate. I'm mad as hell.

Last night on ABC news they showed Bernie Sanders ranting about how the Republicans were be obstructionist. I embarrassed myself by shouting back at the TV "MAYBE THEY WANNA KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS IN THOSE 700 PAGES, @$$#*!&!!!" Well, maybe I shouldn't drink while I'm watching the news but it's a good question isn't it? I mean, what, exactly, is in those 700 pages? Do you really expect senators to vote on it without knowing?

#9 If they pass this thing with the abortion funding in it as-is, many will be compelled to choose between acquiescing to their coercion to pay for abortions and thus damning themselves, or risking possible jailing when they refuse to let the government take thier money which will be used to deliberately destroy defenseless innocent human lives by the millions.

The government of the United States will have made itself into an agency of unspeakable evil, and will be forcing people of conscience to submit at the point of a gun and a prison sentence, or else lose their liberty and risk death in order to maintain their faith.

In short, the government of the United States will have become an oppressor, an enemy to a large segment of its own populace, no less than the Soviet Union was (at least when it comes to conscientious objections).

Personally, I will not support uphold or defend the US Government's evil actions. My fear is they by staying true to my faith I will lose my liberty, risking imprisonment as a matter of conscience at the hands of these evil people. But imprisonment will not cost my my eternal soul as would the violence against my fellow citizens or my acquiescence to materially aiding a mortal sin: the systematic and widespread destruction of millions of defenseless innocent human lives for mere convenience, and unmistakably for profit and power by Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry.

Do you see what they are doing? DO you see them ramming this down our throats? Do you care?

You should. I love this country too much to advocate the violent overthrow, and will I NOT tolerate those who do so, unless the day comes where we tread even further down the path of Nazi Germany and the Communist regimes and restrict basic liberties. But there are those will will, unlike me, choose violent means, and take direct actions on those who push this agenda of evil.

God help us all - the idiots in Washington and their leftist cohorts are starting a civil war, a shooting war, with this action. They will spawn a thousand Eric Rudolphs.

#10 Right on, OldSpook. You are absolutely right.

#11 I don't know about the thousand Eric Rudolphs, OS, but they will spawn a massive amount of civil disobedience the likes of which the country has never seen. (I'd be willing to skip coverage for the same reasons you mention, but I worry about my kids and who would care for them. I don't have an alternative caregiver that would be suitable right now. That would be the only reason I would continue it if this passes, and I hope heaven would forgive me for a while.)

Not only that, they don't get that this kind of coercive crap is something that immigrants to our shores came here to avoid. I'm not talking about the illegals picking lettuce or working in the slaughterhouses, I'm talking about ones with options who could go to lots of different places and get handsomely rewarded because of their skills.

Funny enough....some of them are....get this, doctors and nurses. Hmm. Ya think some of them might start going back home...or to somewhere else that would appreciate their skills? But I'm sure that will be addressed in a future "Just Try to Go Home When We Need Your Skills Here" bill, coming right up.
