The right wing is pissed. So much for accepting the final word of the conservative activist supreme court. Only a few laws should not be questioned, the ones they like, but the Affordable Care Act...?
Check out this outrageous response, and the America they see:
The former spokesman for the Michigan Republican Party sent out an email that questioned whether armed rebellion was justified over the Supreme Court ruling upholding Obamacare. Matthew Davis, an attorney in Lansing, sent the email with the headline: “Is Armed Rebellion Now Justified?” Davis added his own personal note saying, “… here’s my response. And yes, I mean it.”Here's the whole letter. Know what we are dealing with as a nation from the radicalized right wing majority, a group that's just a hair away from repealing 2 centuries of progress.
“There are times government has to do things to get what it wants and holds a gun to your head," Davis said. "I’m saying at some point, we have to ask the question when do we turn that gun around and say no and resist.
"Was the American Revolution justified?”
“You can’t have people walking with lattes and signs and think the object of your opposition is going to take you seriously,” Davis said. “Armed rebellion is the end point of that physical confrontation.”
Is Armed Rebellion
Now Justified?
Implicit in
Benjamin Franklin's fabled response at the conclusion of the Constitutional
Convention was a dire warning: That the Republic would one day devolve into
tyranny unless we the people prevented it.
In 2008, we the
people elected Barack Obama as president, and the 100-year progressive trek to
tyranny begun in 1912 with Woodrow Wilson's election was complete. It cannot be
said too many times — for the purposes of emphasis and clarity — that the
Constitution was possible ONLY AFTER the American Revolution; and that the war
itself would not have been possible without the collective agreement, as so
eloquently articulated in the Declaration of Independence, that the course of
human events will sometimes justify one group of people to sever themselves
from their oppressors.
In other words,
America itself was possible only after its people summoned the will to risk
their lives and their futures — as well as those of their children — for a
freedom they did not enjoy but knew was their gift from God. Along with their
desire to be free came their willingness to engaged in armed rebellion for
their freedom.
If government can
mandate that I pay for something I don't want, then what is beyond its power?
If the Supreme Court's decision Thursday paves the way for unprecedented
intrusion into personal decisions, then has the Republic all but ceased to
exist? If so, then is armed rebellion today justified?
God willing, this
oppression will be lifted and America free again before the first shot is
fired.
