Testifying before a Congressional hearing Tuesday on the President’s Constitutional powers, Michael Cannon the Cato Institute’s Director of Health Policy Studies, suggests that as a last “resort” the U.S. Government should be “overthrown” because President Barack Obama overstepped his executive powers implementing the Affordable Car Act. And Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) who was questioning Mr. Cannon, agreed.
“That is a very dangerous sort of thing for the president to do, to wantonly ignore the laws,” Cannon concluded, “to try to impose obligation upon people that the legislature did not approve.”
Cannon said. “Abraham Lincoln talked about our right to alter our government or our revolutionary right to overthrow it.”
"We may need to have a violent uprising against people having health care"

The problem with these "revolutions" is the fact that they seem to think they can just seize the government and then everything will be all wine and roses. I doubt many of them can even figure out how to work a power grid.
Does this guy come from a parallel universe where Obama declared the ACA to be law by executive decree? Because otherwise I have no idea why he thinks Obama exceeded his powers or ignored the legislature.

I thought the same thing. I'm pretty sure Booley copypasted it, so it's even more hilarious.Affordable Car Act
Uhh...
Christ, first the Tea Party, now the Libertairians. Every time we get a somewhat-sensible alternative to the right and left, some rgith-wing assholes take it over and twist it into some fucked-up group that it's previous supporters still rabbidly support for no goddamn reason!
If an Independent Party was formed, how long do you think before they mysteriously began spouting pro-fundie, anti-gay, anti-governement (only when the left is in charge) bullshit?
I thought they were pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and anti-religion.

Actually a majority of self described libertards oppose gay marriage
To the degree that libertarianism is useful, it's just trivial liberalism. Everything else in the philosophy is silly and wrong.To the point where Ann Rand and the Coultergeist are synonymous with libertarianism.
Yes another run a long line of "We may need to have a violent uprising against people having health care" that seem to be popping up more and more.Trolling has taught me that this situation and the appropriate response is:
I just realized that's a picture of Donald Duck to a gun with his head about to gleefully attempt suicide.
What the hell Disney. I'd be surprised but they had a comic dedicated to Mickey Mouse humorously attempting to commit suicide repeatedly after he thought Minnie was cheating on him.

Decades ago things were very different. Here is a short list:

It's like we're supposed to pretend that Nazis never existed.
It's like we're supposed to pretend that Nazis never existed.
Arguably, that's EXACTLY what they do in Germany...

An understandable, if not exactly rational, reaction to such a great source of national shame.
