Go ahead and barf...I did. WTF!

"A Lansing-based civil rights attorney who has held positions with the Michigan Republican Party and Department of Corrections, questioned in a widely distributed email today whether armed rebellion was justified over the Supreme Court ruling upholding Obamacare.

Matthew Davis sent the email moments after the Supreme Court ruling to numerous new media outlets and limited government activists with the headline: “Is Armed Rebellion Now Justified?”

He stressed that he wasn't calling for armed rebellion but added his own personal note to the email, saying, “… here’s my response. And yes, I mean it.”

He said he was writing with an "eye toward asking at what point the Republic is in peril."

“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?”

But Obama has already ended the Iraq war, Afghanistan is finally winding down, they've already looted the treasury, and Mr. Bush is no longer in office.

But, for providing health insurance to millions of Americans? Not so much.

I guess i'm guilty of some drama here. But the WTF was genuine.

It's hard to believe that people say shit like this. But there it is.
