If Obama/Democrats think Healthcare Rancor’s BAD, wait till they Push Amnesty & Other Left-Wing Agendas by Using More Underhanded Tactics; All Hell will Break Loose:By Marc Chamot
Democrats are under siege from public anger and threats; they are so fearful that they have asked for more security protections for themselves and their families.
Last summer during the town halls meetings Democrats were warned by angry protestors, if they pursued an unpopular healthcare bill, it could be difficult for them, and especially if they acted on it. But unfortunately they didn’t listen to the people’s rancors then, and they voted for it anyways against the majority’s will, and they are now paying dearly for their arrogances.
This is what congress gets, livid and angry Americans, especially when they aren’t working with the most immediate and pressing problems of our times, like jobs and the economy.
President Obama and his Democratic Party cohorts used their opportunities for power to push for left-wing agendas, instead of taking care of the matter in hand, like a struggling economy and growing joblessness.
People are saying we want JOBS and a better economy and nothing else, but Obamacrats are too busy PUSHING their leftists’ agendas, like government healthcare, Cap and Trade and amnesty for illegal aliens upon this country.
This is absolutely the wrong time to be pushing for Democratic leftist social agendas, especially when these policies cause more financial harms than good, like more massive government debts and no jobs improvement for unemployed folks.
But of course, when they don’t want to listen, then the anger and backlashes will certainly come with the times.
I don’t agree with the racially and homophobic attacks on some of the U.S. congressmen, I think it was way out of line, but in the same context, when someone is truly enraged, unfortunately it’s something that some of us do.
Am I sympathetic to these Democrats who have faced some of these rancor’s and death threats? No, I’m NOT. Not that I condone it, under the circumstances, they actually got what they deserved.
A very close friend of mine, said to me, the conventional SILENT thinking around was Obama, after Bill Clinton failed, succeeded in getting the votes for healthcare, because he was African American and most Democrats didn’t want to be seen as RACISTS.
But in the same token, I don’t blame this president for his insane policies, the blame goes squarely on U.S. congress, they are the ones that make and approve his policies, and they are easier TARGETS.
Some liberal Medias want to portray that Independents are souring on Republicans and Tea Parties over these attacks and threats, from angry Americans, but this is furthest from the truths, we welcome it.
I’m Independent and I’m pretty amused by it, because it’s good for the future of American politics. I think Washington politicians by rattling their cages, needed a somber wake up call, and if they TRULY fear the backlashes from angry voters, and MAYBE next time they’ll vote the right way. And by voting according to what the majority wants, not against our wills, and by using the proper and ethical, legal procedures in congress to pass complex issues.
The bottom line: "The people’s angry message to the U.S. congress and senate, was not to keep on passing idiotic presidential agendas, and catering to minority groups, organizations and special interests, by bribing and making shady deals."
Health care reform anger takes a nasty, violent turn
Shots fired at a congressman's campaign headquarters. Windows smashed at Democratic offices across the country. A coffin placed on a lawmaker's lawn. Hate-filled voice mail messages left on members of Congress' phone lines.
Those are just some of the incidents reported since the House passed historic health care reform legislation Sunday -- a bill that became the law of the land. The issue has unleashed a deep-seated anger from those worried about a government takeover of health care, and what they deem as the process being "rammed through" Congress.
James Leach, with the National Endowment for the Humanities, said that while many of the acts may be protected under First Amendment rights, "that doesn't mean that they're morally justified."
"And we have to think of ourselves as, 'what kind of people are we?' “Leach said. "Are we one people working together with rival thoughts, or are we enemies within? And I think there's something that's been let loose in American politics that has to be thought about."
That anger was visible in unruly protests by health care activists at the Capitol over the weekend.
Republican House members encouraged protesters outside and inside the House gallery, some of whom carried messages like "Vote no or else" or "If Brown won't stop it, a Browning will" -- a reference to newly elected Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown accompanied by a silhouette of a pistol.
But the anger has boiled over into physical and verbal threats. Windows have been smashed at Democratic offices in at least three states, and federal agents are investigating whether a cut gas line at the home of a Virginia congressman's brother was related to the lawmaker's yes vote.
Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-New York, confirmed Thursday that his district office in Queens received an envelope containing white powder and a threatening letter.
Later Thursday, Weiner told CNN that initial tests indicated the powder was not a biological agent, but that he still was awaiting final word from the New York Police Department. Workers at the office turned over their clothes for testing and were given protective suits before being allowed to go home a few hours later, Weiner said.
The FBI and other law enforcement agencies are now looking into the threats, and at least 10 House Democrats have been given extra security.
The voice mail has been vicious toward Michigan's Bart Stupak, who switched his vote to seal the deal for the bill. He has released one of the voice mails.
Listen to the voice mail
"Stupak, you are a lowlife, baby-murdering scumbag, pile of steaming crap. You're a cowardly punk, Stupak, that's what you are. You and your family are scum," an unidentified caller said. "That's what you are, Stupak. You are a piece of crap."
"Go to hell, you piece of [expletive deleted]" another caller said.

On Sunday, Democratic Rep. Russ Carnahan of Missouri had a coffin placed on his lawn, said his spokeswoman, Sarah Howard. She said Tea Party protesters at his office in St. Louis had a coffin with them and later brought it to his house. The coffin was later removed, she said.
Democratic congressional leaders have demanded Republicans join them in condemning a spate of threats and vandalism that has followed Sunday's vote on the health care system overhaul.
The top Republican in the House, Minority Leader John Boehner, condemned the threats and vandalism, telling reporters Thursday that it "should not be part of a political debate."
"There are ways for people to channel their anger, and they should do it in a constructive way," he said.
Liz Mair, a Republican consultant, said protesters "are unfortunately crossing a line."
"When we're talking about violence, vandalism, threats, that crosses a legal line, in addition to being in plain old bad taste," Mair said. "And I think that there's a lot that is in plain old bad taste that is going on."
Democrats aren't the only ones being targeted.
Rep. Eric Cantor, the No. 2 Republican in the House of Representatives, said Thursday that a bullet had been fired through a window at his campaign office in Richmond, Virginia.
Watch Cantor warn against Democrats "fanning flames"
A Richmond police spokeswoman confirmed to CNN that a bullet was fired at the congressman's office. "We are investigating the circumstance surrounding it," spokeswoman Karla Peters said.
Cantor also said that he had received threatening messages but that he would not publicly release the messages out of concern that doing so would only incite further violence.
He also accused Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine and Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland -- a member of the Democratic House leadership -- of "fanning the flames" of violence by using threats that have been made against Democratic members "as political weapons."

"Enough is enough," Cantor said. "It has to stop."
Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse hit back against Cantor's claims.
"We disagree with the charge made by Rep. Cantor today that Democrats are using acts of violence for political gain," he said. "Let's be clear: Calling on Republican leaders who have contributed in part to this anger by wildly mischaracterizing the substance and motives of health reform to condemn these acts is entirely appropriate."
Another Republican -- Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite of Florida -- said in a news release Thursday that she received what appeared to be a death threat on her district office's voice mail.
"Just wanna let you know I have 27 people that are going to make sure that this b**** does not live to see her next term. Goodbye," the voice mail said, according to the release.
Brown-Waite said she contacted both the Capitol Police and the Hernando County sheriff, and they are "looking into the matter and subpoenaing telephone records."
At least one of the threats aimed at lawmakers appears to be racially based.
House Democratic Majority Whip James Clyburn, who is African-American, said he has received a fax in his office with a picture of a noose drawn on it and had threatening telephone calls at his home.
"We're giving aid and comfort to these people, and this stuff gets ratcheted up," Clyburn told CNN. "We in this Congress have got to come together in a bipartisan way and tamp this foolishness down. It doesn't make sense. That's not what a democracy is all about."
Democratic officials and liberal Web sites are also upset that Sarah Palin used an image of crosshairs in a Facebook post this week listing 20 vulnerable Democrats who voted for the legislation. She plans to target them this election year with money from her political action committee.

Palin's team is fighting claims that she is encouraging threats of violence. One House member mentioned her Facebook posting during a Wednesday meeting on safety concerns, a Democratic source told CNN's Dana Bash. Mention of the map brought audible groans to the room, the source said.
An adviser to Palin responded by pointing to several instances in which the former Alaska governor has urged supporters to focus their energies on civil debate and action at the ballot box, not extremist activities.

The Dems acted on healthcare something the majority of Americans want and 49% of Americans like this bill.
You seem to be saying they should have caved to the threats of violence from a small minority. If you stand up to the minority no matter how crazy and violent they are they will give in. If you give in to them they will only grow bolder.
The Democrats did the right thing not giving into the violent crazies.
Who's the majority to you? That's where you and I don't agree. I'd check other polls than the ones from the White House...
