Re: Republican congressional candidate says violent overthrow of government is 'on th

It completly matters. Our countries leadership should not be decided by marketing campaigns.

If the people are stupid enough to trust in meaningless slogans (as they did with BHO) rather than looking at the important issues, then they get the democracy they deserve. No amount of advertising, or truth, will effect those who truly want to believe otherwise.

Perhaps they learned a lesson this time and will vote him out of office in 2012, but the next generation will have to learn it all over again.

Actually, no, the subject of this thread is a particular Republican candidate who says that violent overthrow is on the table. That has nothing to do with either the Constitution or Sharia law. Unless, of course, the candidate in question also thinks we need to do away with the Constitution and install Sharia law. Have they said anything of the sort?

Your are clearly wrong. The subject of this thread said, as quoted in the very first post, "We have a constitutional remedy," Broden said then. "And the Framers say if that don't work, revolution."

There are obviously those who want to change the Constitution or ignore it altogether. I referred to the best know group who is far better know internationally than an obscure political candidate.

This "constitutional remedy" can take many forms and the formation of the Tea Party had been one of the more successful and peaceful ways. Others, as Candidate Boden explained, can involve a "revolution".

Well, by all means, inform me with links to these many stats telling us how many American Muslims want Sharia law, what flavor of Sharia law they want, and how they would like it to be implemented.

Look it up yourself! You should know how to google by now. Are you actually disputing the fact that many Muslims want Sharia law established not only in the United States, but everywhere else as well? I find that hard to believe.

They're doing better than Al Quaeda, that's certain. In fact the military might be doing better in Afghanistan than the civilians are at home.

If you are willing to entertain the idea of revolt, then you don't deserve to be in an election. That's like making a bet with no intention of paying if you lose.

Strangely, nothing was in there about Muslims who want Sharia law. Which makes that totally irrelevant to this thread.

So, what "proof" you claim to have doesn't rise to the challenge I laid before you. Very well.

Not something I ever want to see, but the way Liberals are pushing the name calling and hate, who can know for sure what frustrations they may promote? All the hate talk could lead to a self fulfilling prophesy if they don't dial it back a notch or two. The Tea Party isn't where the hate comes from. It's 100% from the Left.

It is just fascinating and yet at the same time disturbing how far from the facts and central focus of the original topic some of those who post here have wandered.

Is this one of the indicators that someone has A.D.D. or A.D.H.D. or P.M.S. or what?

I will admit I have not taken the time to read all of the posts, just most and enough to get a feel for the direction and I will give credit where credit is due.

President Bush is so far not at fault and that's a new and refreshing change from the usual diversionary tactics.

Some of the post are almost whimsical while others are just plain sad and show a complete lack of the ability to think.

However all in all it's fun to see how screwed up some of what I am guessing are adults can be.

Thanks so much.

Strange; nine years with no resolution.
 
Re: Republican congressional candidate says violent overthrow of government is 'on th

The Republicans are going to shut down Congress? Haven't heard that one.

I have. It's a lie being spread by liberals to scare people before the election.

Yes... I dispute it. Please post a credible source for this claim, or admit you made it up and let's move on... and NO, I will NOT GOOGLE it myself. It's YOUR job to prove what yuo spout as 'fact', not my job to disprove it.

Essentially, put up, or shut up.
 
Re: Republican congressional candidate says violent overthrow of government is 'on th

I am surprised that so many of you find it outrageous that a man running for congress in the USA is not willing to reject a part of the Declaration of Independence. Broden is not calling for an uprising. He is simply echoing the notion of our founders that government is made to serve man, not the other way around. I find it very refreshing in a politician.

I just want to know how these rednecks think they'd actually accomplish such a thing.

Kinda funny since you just called an African American a "redneck". You seem to have confused your cultural slurs slightly.

Finally. I am a citizen residing in District 30. I have a sign for Stephan Broden in my yard. His opponent is a nightmare who gave a bunch of grant money to her own grandchildren, other relatives and employees children, and denies to this day she has done anything wrong.

Some of you underestimate this man. He is endorsed by the Dallas Morning news, and I along with the majority in my district will vote for him.
 
Re: Republican congressional candidate says violent overthrow of government is 'on th

As I read this story I must have missed the part that somehow connects Obama's tyranny and despotism (which are the same thing) to President Bush.

The Trifecta of Doom has acted with impunity as they ignored "WE THE PEOPLE" and as much as gave us all the finger and passed the phony Health Care kill Granny plan anyway.

They have continued to spend money we don't have on projects that have been proven don't work.

I have been waiting to hear this out in the open. For almost a year I have heard this said and have seen and been told of emails that were hinting of the possibility.

Okay first he misquoted the Declaration of Independence which says:




I want the revolution to come Nov.2nd at the ballot box, not as suggested by radical followers of Mao in the Obama administration at the point of a gun.

Besides as I have pointed out Obama has violated his oath of office as it relates to Article 4 Section 4 of the Constitution, which says in part: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion,"

This is an impeachable offense and it's only one of many, and that's god enough for me.

Sorry you missed your flight back to earth. I'm sure you can catch one tomorrow.

Sorry, but even if you don't like Obama (obviously you are not a swing voter), things are far, far more under control than you let on. I thought GW Bush was an incredible disaster, yet the union lives on (though pretty seriously wounded economically).

Don't deal in hyperbole and you will find you (and those around you) will live a much happier life.

Dallas Morning News?? Who'd a thunk it. Have they gotten less liberal the last few years?
Anyway, I hope he wins.

Why? Just because he is Republican?

I honestly think it hurt the DMN to its core to have to endorse him. They even spend the first paragraph of the endorsement lamenting they cant endorse Johnson. ;)

But the nepotism scandal that Eddie Bernice Johnson was involved in is an amazingly big deal.

If you don't get the connection between Sharia Law, revolution and the obvious threat to the Constitution then, for you, there is none.

Seems like an excellent candidate, Capslock. America needs more people like him at this point in their history.

Re: Republican congressional candidate says violent overthrow of government is 'on th

Revolution is a proper tool of the People should a government ever work against their rights and liberties for too long. He is right, it is not the first option. You have to be careful when it comes to revolt. However, it is something which legitimately belongs to the People. Now I don't advocate revolt at this point; and as he says there are Constitutional options by which we can first try to regain control. I don't see anything particularly wrong with his statement.

You know, Ikari, it's interesting that you say that revolution of government is a tool of the People and yet it is a Republican candidate who is advocating revolt. I find this interesting because there are conservatives in the Republican Party who are also advocates of the repeal of the 17th Amendment, which provides the direct election of Senators. Such an appeal would take power the People have over the federal government away from the People.

So while the People have the power to enact revolution, it's important that it not be advocated by a smaller group wishing to impose their own kind of tyranny over others.

Personally, I think that the Constitution allows popular initiatives over the federal government, and some process for that should be enacted so the People have a direct method of control over the federal government. I think that before any faction advocates revolt on behalf of "the People" they should first advocate more methods of direct democracy for "the People."

But good luck with that.

If this government believes that the government is made to serve man, not the other way around, then does this candidate advocate gay marriage, repeal of DADT within the military, is pro-choice regarding abortion, and favors a public option government health care plan?

Don't deal in hyperbole and you will find you (and those around you) will live a much happier life.

I don't mind cluing you in on a few facts
#1. You can't miss the flight when your the Flight Capt. and I am always in control and in charge.
#2. Hold on to your Pantyhose now. President Bush was a disaster in some ways, and the Republic lives on because President Bush, wasn't and Anti-American Anti-White Christian through his beliefs in Black Liberation Theology which is based on Marxism trying to destroy it.


President Bush made plenty of mistakes and used to piss me off no end, but Obama has violated his oath of office by not taking the steps needed to secure our Southern Border, as required under Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution.

And he has done so solely for political reasons. He claims to be doing something and it's all lip service with no substance.

The whole point here is that Candidate Broden was repeating in his way what the Declaration of Independence tells us we must do when the Government fails to respond to the wishes of "WE THE PEOPLE," and now we are going to the Ballot box to try to rectify the insufferable evils Obama and his minions have foisted upon us through their malfeasance, and disregard for our economic future and that of our great Grand Children with their fiscal irresponsibility, because that is what we must do next.

As I said before I want this Revolution to take place at the point of a pin at the ballot box and not as Obama's Czar says from the barrel of a gun and Chief Adviser Andy Stern said, through the persuasion of power and that what these Marxists are up to that requires us to act now.
 
Re: Republican congressional candidate says violent overthrow of government is 'on th

I just want to know how these rednecks think they'd actually accomplish such a thing. What, they're going to drive up I-95 in a bunch of cars loaded with rifles and storm Congress? That, somehow, a flight of black hawks wouldn't just buzz by and mow them down?

edit: See this guy? He's been ordered to defend what you're trying to attack. My money's on him.

Oh - call the Po-leece

That's one hell of a sexy bird. Damn!

It's not that I don't get it -- it's that I'm not going to let you get away with inserting a reference to Sharia law into a thread that has nothing whatsoever to do with Sharia law.

Why are you taking the piss? You know as a conservative candidate along with a strong conservative faith tradition you are describing his virtual opposite.

Not everyone in this country, or my district shares your ideals. I would defend your right to be passionate about what you believe, but I personally want almost the opposite of your list. And there are a great many of us who do. In fact I believe this election will show a majority do here in my district.

Personally, I am pro-life, pro civil union, don't care about DADT, and am STRONGLY against government controlled healthcare. So Broden will come much closer to representing my ideals (even if not perfectly), and those who agree with me than yours. And his opponent has proven to be truly a greatly corrupt. Thank goodness we each get an equal vote. Change is overdue here in Dallas.
