Sorry it took so long to get back. It has been a busy day. Yeah, I made it to the Town Hall. I got there at about 1600, and the place was already pretty full. I counted 120 and people were still coming in before Doug started. I noticed the lameness of the enemy outside. About a dozen holding signs saying “Keep your teabags off of my healthcare”; and chanting “Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, the status quo has got to go!”. [Kind of an all purpose Leftist chant.] I also noted the looks on the faces of TWANLOC inside when Doug’s opening statement ended with saying he was against the bill. The roof was raised with cheers [yeah, that was my subdued rebel yell].
I was in the back. I did not feel like being discreet, so I was wearing a black t-shirt with a modified [by PEOPLE'S CUBE] Russian propaganda poster. This version says, “COMRADES, the Party commands you to mercilessly stomp out the Class Enemy’s rumor that our President Obama is a disguised Socialist. Report all unauthorized thoughts and opinions to flag@whitehouse.gov.”.
I did not get to speak [Which I am glad of in a way. I am a wordy bugger and have been public speaking for a while. Everybody there talking was someone who is motivated to stand up and fight back for the first time.]. But I did talk to him afterwards. I hit him on the direct violation of a Federal statute that the “flag” email snitch line was, cited the law, and the fact that the Feds waived sovereign immunity from both civil and criminal charges. I asked if there was anyone else besides him in DC who had a pair of cojones to file, because if a Congressman filed to have a Federal law enforced on the Executive they would have a hell of a time denying that he had standing.
By the way, both he and Kevin Grantham [candidate for state senate and strong Tea Party supporter] liked the shirt.

The key though is that it has to happen after the victory is clear an the criminals and traitors know without a doubt that they lost. The ones who think maybe they could still win, or could give it another try in a few years, those can’t have any slack.
I admit that my post was still affected by my still being mickle p.o.-ed from my encounter with TWANLOC coming and going from the Town Hall. The detestation and contempt I felt for them was amazing, even for me when my temper is up.
However, I stand by what I said about the prosecution of any criminals and perpetrators of atrocities, without fail if we can catch them. This is to include capital prosecution if warranted. Being imperfect, not all will be caught. But, just as it was vital that Germany undergo denazification, and the war criminals be pursued to the ends of the earth and their life spans; we need to go through the same process in order to achieve the clarity and lack of doubt noted above. And given their persistence, it will take some doing.
There is the added factor that it is a special characteristic of the Republican party to believe that they can motivate people by promising to fight for maybe half a loaf. We have seen how that works. We cannot copy that. If TWANLOC in words or actions void the Constitution, moderation before complete victory is suicidal. There is a reason for our declaration that we would only settle for unconditional surrender in WW II, and that related as much to the will of our forces and the home front as much as any international diplomacy.
How the prosecution will be carried out is a matter for those who survive the effort. This is real. Many will not survive. I like the charge related to Federal officials overthrowing the Constitution. Others may not. May we be in a position where the discussion will be something that we can seriously influence.
