These whack-jobs think that Obama should be impeached and tried for treason because of the Affordable Care Act. Now just ponder that one for a minute. A law passed by both houses of Congress, signed by the President, and upheld by the Supreme Court should be fodder for not only impeachment (high crime and misdemeanors) but a charge of treason (giving aid and comfort to our enemies in wartime).
All that from a health insurance program?
Life is too short. Don't waste your time trying to arguing with people because they are, quite honestly, a pack of arm-waving lunatics. These people are your dumb-ass uncle who used to be confined to saying stunningly inappropriate things at the dinner table around the holidays. Now thanks to the internet and talk radio, they have their own political party -- The Party Formerly Known As Republican.
They're not going to go away. They're never going to go away.
Talk to your sensible family and friends. And when election time comes around -- and I mean EVERY election time -- make sure that both you and they get out to vote. We're a majority, but when we don't show up, these people win. And they can do real damage when they do.
