Good bye USA. You were a good idea.

Health care passes. Freepers, by and large, have three reactions.

There is the ashes and sackcloth folks, like Texas4ever

I think we lost our country...next is disarming the citizens....then citizen soldiers....it coming. I hate that my mother who loves her country and lived through the wonderful spirit of American Patriotism....and respect for country, soldiers and family has to see such an awful display of disregard...she called me in her sweet voice and softly said...”what does this mean?” I told her dont worry mom...Tomorrow is her 74th Birthday....God help us....I am crying for my mom and what used to be a beautiful Country!

Or Schatze

My mother died about two months ago -- I'm glad she didn't live long enough to see this.

That's the bright side!

Then there are th civil disobedience types, like AmericanInTokyo

General Tax Revolt.

And, Religious Conscientious Objector status to pay taxes based on funding of abortion.

Time to go Nelson Mandela on them.

Really? Mandela? That old commie terrorist?

LomanBill in adition to some odd ideas about when to center text, seems to think the police wil totally strike.

Who exactly do they think will go out and "enforce" these laws?

It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman

to be aware of whether or not his services are being used

as a means to accomplish evil ends -

and to act accordingly.

LEOs.. are you listening?

Oh, I'm sure Law Enforcement Officers are listening to Free Republic, but not for the reasons LomanBill hopes.

Which brings us to the final set of Freepers, the threats of violence.

yadent beaats the favorite Freeper drum of secession. It's in a low cycle right now, but could flare up any time.

Are the freedom loving peoples ready to separate? It doesn’t have to be violent. Let’s find a state or two and leave. If not, I will NOT live on my knees!!!! It will become violent, very violent.

America2012 agrees:

If this thing passes the Senate and Obama signs it, this country won't make it to the 2010 elections.

Indy Pendance

Signatures won’t matter, it’s bullets now.

There is, I guess, a fourth type, like rurgan. They get completely unhinged from logic:

Now do we see how evil and a threat Democrats are? On a Saturday Night , behind the American people’s back They satanically, stealthily , slid this bill/knife into the American people’s back to destroy our freedom and ability to make a living.

This Bill Passed ONLY because the Democrats have such a large majority in the House.

This bill would have NEVER passed the House in the Republican controlled House.

Well, that is true I guess, if Congress were different it would do different things.
