Dem Congress Passes Most Laws Since 1960s…

Socialist revolution…

(Bloomberg)- However history judges the 535 men and women in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate the past two years, one thing is certain: The 111th Congress made more law affecting more Americans since the “Great Society” legislation of the 1960s.

For the first time since President Theodore Roosevelt began the quest for a national health-care system more than 100 years ago, the Democrat-led House and Senate took the biggest step toward achieving that goal by giving 32 million Americans access to insurance. Congress rewrote the rules for Wall Street in the most comprehensive way since the Great Depression. It spent more than $1.67 trillion to revive an economy on the verge of a depression, including tax cuts for most Americans, jobs for more than 3 million, construction of roads and bridges and investment in alternative energy; ended an almost two-decade ban against openly gay men and women serving in the military, and is poised today to ratify a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia.

For all of its ambitious achievement, the 111th Congress, which may adjourn this week, also witnessed a voter-backlash driven by a 9.6-percent unemployment rate that cost Democrats control of the House and diminished their Senate majority.

    Me thinks it was a little more than just the unemployment rate. More like every damn thing they’ve done in the past 2 years. No one wanted that shit.

    ‘Socialist revolution’.. indeed..

    ‘CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

    1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

    2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

    3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

    4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

    5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

    6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination. …

    41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

    42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

    43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

    44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

    45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.’

    Communist Goals (1963)

    So many of these goals are reality..

    The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.
    Tacitus


    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — 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.

    This is the very reason they were fired, yet those that were fired are still arrogantly cramming crap down our throats…no thanks to the Senators who could stop all of this with the Lame Duck Session that was never intended to use this as they are doing, to me this is Unconstitutional, but hell, that matters not.

    We won’t forget…not by a long shot.

    ha, ha, ha, ha, ha….good one, ohio. Thanks for the link. I can remember when we used to make fun of Brits for being so “gay”. Now of course, not so funny.

    As Palin says: let’s party like it’s 1773.

    Oh yes, the social re-engineering of America continues.

    “Repealing DOMA, getting ENDA [a bill to protect LGBT people from discrimination] done, those are things that should be done,” Obama told The Advocate the night before signing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell repeal into law. “I think those are natural next steps legislatively. I’ll be frank with you, I think that’s not going to get done in two years. We’re on a three- or four-year time frame unless there’s a real transformation of attitudes within the Republican caucus.”

    Please note that Obama still believes he will be President after January 2013.

    It’s hysterical.

    Homophobia is a dangerous mental disorder and it should be treated by hospitalization or anti-psychotic medication. Gay bashers are preventing millions of Americans from exercising their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Police decoys must be sent into bigot macho bars disguised as overtly gay men. Gay customers who want a drink and a little conversation in a homophobic cracker bar should be respected and not abused.

    If you are serious about the above, you are a deranged asshole.

    If you have written the above as an attempt at ironic humor, you are a deranged asshole.

    morris.. please cite the parts of founding documents wherein the right is established for one man to insert his tumescent penis into the receptive anus of another man.. and how ridiculing this supposed right somehow abridges their right to the pursuit of happiness.. are humans to behave like randy baboons who cannot attract a mate of the opposite sex?

    The leftists have gotten more monstrous since the elections when they found out how much they are hated. The more chaos they cause for we the people (who hate them) the happier they are.

    BTW, apropos “morris wise”:

    I have not seen this nic here before, but in my experience those who use screen nics that appear to resemble real names are usually trolls—and when those seemingly-real-names are aggressively “Jewish-sounding” the likelihood that they are trolls increases geometrically.

    Hugo Chavez: CommuNazi – Pajamas Media

    December 20, 2010

    Five days ago, Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez got his cherry-picked lame-duck legislature to pass a new law allowing him to “rule by emergency decree” for the next 18 months, thereby allowing him to bypass the newly elected legislature, in which the opposition won scores of seats.
