Not even a moonbat drunk on liberal media Kool-Aid would be able to miss the symbolism of America’s first anti-American president positioning armed thugs to keep us out of Independence Hall, the birthplace of the USA[...]
The purpose? It’s all part of the Shutdown, a transparently phony tactic Obama is using to impose ObamaCare, the objective of which is to destroy the private health insurance industry, thus moving us closer to socialism.
The Founding Fathers would be ashamed of how much we have already put up with — and the situation will inevitably get far worse if we don’t put up more resistance.

Do you know what tactic Obama used to “impose Obamacare”? Exactly the legal procedure laid down in the constitution, by your founding fathers.
And how is the ACA supposed to destroy the health care industry if all it does is guaranteeing them about 40 million new customers?
So what do you have against America and capitalism?

You must have gotten the Fox News version of events. Here in the real world, the ACA was already in place and the Republicans were throwing a huge hissy fit in order to try to get their way. They only gave up when they realized that they were looking like assholes.
The "imposition" was initiated by the President, passed by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court; you can't get more constitutional than that. As for the Founding Fathers, Section Two of the Sedition Act of 1798 deemed seditious anyone "opposing or resisting any law of the United States, or any act of the President of the United States, done in pursuance of any such law, or of the powers in him vested by the constitution of the United States". That's not the President.
...except that more than a few Tea Partiers in the Congress who thought the Shutdown was the greatest thing since sliced bread, including John Culberson, Matt Salmon, Marsha Blackburn, Michelle Bachmann (who also believes the Shutdown was a sign of the End Times), Tim Huelskamp, Cathy McMorris Rodgers and, of course, Ted Cruz.
So, apparently, the POTUS is so tricky, so powerful, so slick that he managed to convince a number of his most hard core political enemies to support the Shutdown? What a guy!
Back in 2010, just before the elections for Congress, several Republican politicians were campaigning on a "We will shut down the Government!" platform... and they have been recorded saying that shit.
In the 3 years since, the Republican members of Congress have threatened to vote for a shutdown on several occasions... each time, Obama and the Democrats backed down and gave in.
This time, they didn't... they called the bluff of the politicians who went in desperately wanting to shut down the Government. And the GOP did exactly what it said it would do 3 years ago...
Not only is the GOP trying to blackmail Obama into doing what they want through threats to the US, but they've got retarded wankers like you cheering them on and blaming Obama for it!
anti-American
Describes the GOP perfectly...
I'm all for keeping "we the people" out of public parks, museums, etc. whenever there are insufficient staff present to watch us like hawks. We are well known for our propensity to steal, vandalize and poach.
"The Founding Fathers would be ashamed"
They are dead. Their views and opinions, or as is actually the case here, what you think their views and opinions might be are irrelevant.
"and the situation will inevitably get far worse if we don’t put up more resistance."
Yes, please do keep it up. You're doing a great job of assfucking yourselves obliviously towards complete political and social irrelevancy.
Let's also not forget that the Congress called a vote to repeal the ACA over 40 times, and each time the repeal failed.
Since they lacked the votes, the Republican leadership held the entire government hostage. In the process they damaged their own reputation at home, lowered America's credit rating abroad, and denied services to America's most vulnerable citizens.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
