More Fundy Meltdown: Fed. Gov't Should Be Shot for Trespassing On States' Rights
The American Family Association's Bryan Fischer ... declares 4:07 p.m. on March 7, 2010 to be the exact moment that the United States died:

For at 4:07 p.m. on March 10, 2010, Bart Stupak announced that his pro-life convictions had collapsed like a cheap tent in a slight breeze. As a result, the America we knew and loved is gone, gone, gone.


Fischer followed that post up a short time later with a new post calling on the states to resist Congress and "stand up against the tyranny of the central government" while comparing the government to trespassers and squatters who should be shot and warning that only the 10th Amendment can save this nation from bloodshed:

The last remedy left - other than bloodshed - is the 10th Amendment, which reserves to the states any power not delegated to the federal government. ... The central government is trespassing on the sovereign territory of the states, and the states have every right to throw them off their property.

Trespassers can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Squatters can be evicted. If they won't leave, they can be tossed. And in the worst case scenario, if they won't surrender peacefully, they can be shot.


Do I need to point out that just last week, Fischer was featured on the Family Research Council's anti-health care reform webcast along with Rep. Tom Price, (R-GA), Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)?

5. LOL! I hadn't noticed that when I was posting. He must just be so upset!
Here's a quote directly from his website:

4:07 p.m., March 7, 2010: The moment we lost the United States of America
Date: 3/22/2010 8:07:50 AM

Rep. Bart Stupak will go down in history as a man who will live in infamy. And March 21, 2010 will go down in history likewise as a day that will live in infamy.

It is a rare thing when a nation can point to one specific moment in time in which its tragic destiny was sealed. That moment came today at 4:07 Eastern time.

For at 4:07 p.m. on March 21, 2010, Bart Stupak announced that his pro-life convictions had collapsed like a cheap tent in a slight breeze. As a result, the America we knew and loved is gone, gone, gone. ...

I'm prone to a few on occasion myself :blush: :rofl:


If this is such an important even for him, though, you'd think he would've gotten the date right or at least reviewed it before posting.

3. Two words: SCHOOL DESEGREGATION.
How is resisting school desegregation working out for these assholes?
