Kroft to Obama: Are you punch-drunk?

[Pa(b)st Prime]

Quote from smilingsynic:

First advocating armed revolution, and then the execution of a freely elected American president. You are a disgrace to all good Americans.

I too am not into the assassination rhetoric but a President who compares AIG to suicide bombers isn't exactly taking the metaphorical high road either......

Our country was born out of armed revolution.

Our founding fathers were wise enough to grant rights to the people under the Constitution that make armed revolution possible whenever government becomes oppressive and stops serving the interests of the people and the nation.

You should not forget that and neither should our politicians.

Quote from jficquette:



His remarks came in a “60 Minutes” interview in which he was pressed by an incredulous Steve Kroft for laughing and chuckling several times while discussing the perilous state of the world’s economy.

“You're sitting here. And you're— you are laughing. You are laughing about some of these problems. Are people going to look at this and say, ‘I mean, he's sitting there just making jokes about money—’ How do you deal with— I mean: explain. . .” Kroft asks at one point.

“Are you punch-drunk?” Kroft says.

“No, no. There's gotta be a little gallows humor to get you through the day,” Obama says, with a laugh

Of course he's laughing. Which party wins more power when the economy is shit, when people can't get jobs, can't feed themselves? Democrats.

A worldwide depression guarantees power for him and his party.

That's why he's pushing ahead on a massive carbon tax and socialized medicine. The faster he can push this country over the cliff, the better off he'll be.

Is this the reason for assembling a "security force" outside

Oh really. OK, then, where in the Constitution can this "right" to armed revolution be found?

No teleprompter = nervous laughter.

(May have had a few tokes from a doobie prior to interview as well)

You are looking at the wrong document.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Sound familiar?

There is a line of resistance and it is being tested.

From an a document signed some 11 years prior to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ...

Quote from The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America:

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.
