This was linked to in last night’s ONT at Ace’s. I would add to the idea of not supporting the Left by not buying the NYT or any other liberal outfit by going even further. My New Years resolution is to not support anybody, no matter how much I admire them, who lives in California. So Bill Whittle, Zo Rachel, the entire PJTV and PJ Media organization, Reason,and as much as this kills me, Breitbart. If it’s in California? Not a dime of my money will go to support them. I will not let my money go to a corrupt state government, and by staying in California they are helping to further the Progressive agenda by paying for it. So they stay, while hoards of others leave for places like Texas and all that does is change the culture of Texas so that it will be a blue state.
You don’t think so? I worked in Vermont from 1983 to 1988. Gun country. Salt of the Earth people. Look at it now. The same people I knew back then who decried the influence of the Flatlanders, are now so far left I don’t know who they are anymore. The very same people. Red states need conservatives to move to them to keep them red instead of financing the blue states ruinous policies.

Well I don’t things from Progessive Businesses I support the Local Cedar Rapids Tea Party and the Local Iowa Conservative Union on Tax and Second Amendment Issues. We locked horns with City Hall the Chamber of Commerce, all the local Large corporations in the County all the Big Money TWICE on a Local Option Sales Tax extension and WON (they had a budget for the two referendums of over $1 Million while we could only scrap up less than $1 K ) I take one vacation day a month to go to the County GOP Central Committee Meeting.

I’ve purchased a Ruger LCP to go along with my collection, completed another AR15 lower receiver build, and gave my brother an AR15 carbine for Christmas. Ordered more parts for AR15 build so that I can make several different upper recievers to add different calibers to the mix. 300AAC, maybe .204 Ruger and 6.8SPC. I shoot competition every month with pistol and multi-gun matches. Reading a book each week on history, teaching, novels about fighting for freedom and basic camping and self reliance skills. Writing to my congressional reps and Senators each day to hold them accountable on budget and civil rights which inlcude being an armed citizen to provide the ultimate check to renegade federal powers.

“The ACA says different, stating that its repeal takes a super-majority within a short time window in 2016.”

No matter what the ACA says, Congress has no power to bind subsequent sessions of Congress from amending or repealing any law.

********
“All of these mark me, I think quite clearly, as a liberal”

–aphrael.

To the extent that you offer nothing but raw and unsupported assertions, why, yes, they DO mark you as a liberal, as in The Mark of Cain.

Of course they are. Part and parcel of this lawless regime. But what happens if they repeal it in the normal way? Again, “you and what army?”

Excuse me? You’ve got it backwards. If Congress and the President repeal it in the usual way, who and what army do you imagine is going to override that?

I’m not even sure i’d buy “the most divisive campaign in modern times”; that requires being more divisive than the Johnson nuclear holocaust ad, and I didn’t see anything which compared.
The “Romney killed my wife” ad came close.

Neither of those were anywhere near as bad as the NAACP ad that associated Bush with James Byrd's murder, or the one that linked Republicans to the bombing of black churches.

I call it being a missionary for liberty. It’s time that we stopped shying away from our beliefs, and started proselytizing our beliefs. I’m not talking about being strident. I think we need to do it with a sense of humor. Jokes and laughter. Let’s ridicule the left, talk up liberty and the free market, and stand proud.

WE are not England and every 2 years we can change our course,naturally,picking idiots like Romney and several tea party nutbag senate candidates haspreventedasupermajority ofrepublicans that should be there in the senate right now, but eventually it will happen

Yes we are not in England, but in England they also have the ability to vote Parliament out and they haven’t voted out socialized health care. Once in, it’s become a right. Look at the education department that Jimmy Carter gave us. For over 200 years we didn’t need a federal department of education, now we can’t get rid of the bloated mess. We can’t stop government bloat after the fact, it has to be stopped before.

And why are you so angry?
