    So, you preferred Single Payer THAT much?

    Because SOME sort of Universal Health Care IS coming. The American people are not going to tolerate working all their lives and then spending the last few years waiting to die under a bridge somewhere or helping their parents to commit suicide like Eskimos..

    Is it not possible to defend the constitution as a whole and still have parts you disagree with and would like to see changed?

    If one truly believes in defending the constitution that must also include defending the process laid out within the constitution to make changes.

    As I do your tacit admission that you had NO idea what you were talking about, were completely clueless as to the subject and in any case couldn't make a convincing point to go get ice cream for a small child

    "...not under attack..." Really?

    What would you call the various outright gun bans enacted by at least 7 states (1) so far and the terrorizing of NRA officials & their families(2)



    (1) "Assault weapons legislation in the United States"
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapons_legislation_in_the_United_States
    EXCERPT "Seven U.S. states have assault weapons bans: three were enacted before the 1994 federal ban and four more passed before the federal ban expired. "CONTINUED


    (2) "Protester faces charges for vandalism at NRA lobbyist’s home"
    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/apr/20/protester-faces-charges-for-vandalism-at-nra-lobby/


    ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - Protesters are targeting the northern Virginia home of the National Rifle Association’s top lobbyist and say the protests will continue.

    In one case, court records show Patricia Hill of Lincoln, Nebraska, has been charged with misdemeanor destruction of property outside the home of NRA lobbyist Chris Cox.

    Protesters also conducted a confrontational but peaceful protest April 10 outside Cox’s home as well as his wife’s nearby decorating business.

    Libby Locke, a lawyer for the Cox family, said the vandalism included spraying fake blood and defacing the home with stickers.



    “The Cox family does not view these activities as a peaceable protest exercise,” Locke said in a statement. “These coordinated tactics have crossed the line of civility and human decency.”CONTINUED

    Actually, I do support a form of 'single-payer', and have written about that a number of times here in the Forum over the past few years. It would be a true 'single-payer' form of insurance, nationwide in scope, and it would consist of an enormous pool of American citizens who PAY to be a part of the covered group. There would be no "subsidies", welfare, or any of that kind of crap mingled in with it. Anyone who didn't want to PAY to be part of the covered group would get their own private insurance, or, go on Medicaid. We'd have to keep Medicaid as a 'safety net' for all the people who don't or won't pay anything at all for their health insurance.

    But the topic now is what kind of harm, if any, should be done to those who attack or undermine the Constitution. I recommend restraint and democratic, negotiated processes, as I indicated in an earlier post -- like voting the Socialist-Democrats OUT of government. But I don't advocate rushing out and shooting all of them... at least, not at first.... 8)

    People who use terms like "socialist-democrat" simply cannot be taken seriously.

    None of this is relevant to the conversation at hand.
    You stated you believe there is a universal obligation to defend the constitution. As we have seen, this is not really true.

    Since he does not agree with the established meaning of the 2nd amendment,he does not believe any restriction on the right to keep and bear arms violates the constitution.

    I don't care about the country. I would only commit violence in response to violated my person, property or family.

    Otherwise, no.

    A couple of questions. First why keep Medicaid? Medicaid is the more expensive than any existing health insurance and fewer and fewer doctors will accept Medicaid because of how poorly it pays and the vast amount of paperwork involved. Second, why should any government program pay for people who "won't" pay for their own healthcare?

    To suggest the Medicaid is more expensive than "any existing health insurance" is fake news.

    It's a lie.

    The lie is told to further an antiAmerican agenda.

    So you're not going to start shooting us until after we WIN the elections? That's sporting, I suppose, but somehow I still don't think that was exactly what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

    Rejoinder: people who cannot see that today's Democrat Party is a Social-Democrat Party cannot be taken seriously. The Democrat Party today has become so Looney-Tunes Left-wing that there's nothing 'centrist' about it any more.

    Statements like "today's Democrat Party is a Social-Democrat Party cannot be taken seriously" is the absolute truth.

    The Dems have been winning steadily at a much greater rate than the Pubs since last fall.

    When Mueller's report comes out just before Labor Day, that margin will increase dramatically.

    Those who are violent politically with their fellow Americans will be dealt with summarily and conclusively. There will be no appeal.

    Yeah, the majority of level-headed American voters are going to show how mad they are about:
    1. Getting rid of the fraudulent pile of lies, higher costs, and fewer choices of Obamacare.
    2. Dramatically improving the military posture of the United States against countries that act to harm us every chance they get.
    3. Cutting taxes, and making the tax-cutting work toward responsibly toward improving the unemployment rate.
    4. Protecting the borders of the United States against illegal alien invaders of ALL kinds.
    5. Installing a Supreme Court Justice who isn't a nausea-inducing, hyperliberal, America-hating radical!
    6. Taking decisive action to protect the U. S. from unfair trade practices and theft of our intellectual property.

    Surely, according to the Leftist cadres, nobody wants any of that.... So, they'll flock to the polls in November to vote for more 'Socialism-lite' Democrat candidates who will cheerfully work to keep the liberal Welfare Circus in place so that people can just slump back down into the listless, useless, worthlessness they grew accustomed to under Comrade Obama, and feel good about themselves.... :spin:
