Not the point. They were fighting to keep a oppressive state. They were heros to their cause from their point of view. My point is that if Madison claims he values our Constitution, then why is he suggesting he take up arms against his fellow citizens? He is advocating sedition and it is no different than what Jefferson Davis did.

He is falsely claiming to be the victim, the oppressed because sometimes the GOP doesn't win. Not winning elections all the time is no justification to overthrow elections or to start a civil war.

His argument is basically, if our enemies can fight a big government with jets and and army, so can he. So he is equating liberals to Communists. And that is a bullshit slur, and vile and sick.

When is the GOP going to give up?

First off, "OBAMACARE" is really "Romneycare". But the SCOTUS today once again upheld the ACA. 

I actually only think the ACA has slowed down the gouging, but it really still has not addressed the overall rise in cost. Ultimately our medical and health care insurance industry is about profits and not health. I am most certainly for the private sector, but we still live in an age, even with the ACA that one illness can still bankrupt someone in the middle or working class. Nobody should go broke for getting sick, which happens to everyone at some point in life.

Out of all the national security issues, between domestic terrorism, and health care costs, those two things America needs to fix. 

The more people who go bankrupt over illness, the less secure we are as a nation.

Not precisely. The VC were invading a foreign country - South Vietnam.

9-0 SCOTUS ruling about city denying contracts to Catholic foster/adoption agencies to LGBT couples. 

Read through the summery, and it seems on the surface the SCOTUS sided with the church siting "free exercise" clause of the first Amendment. But still fuzzy to me, because at the same time it didn't seem to be an all out smack down. There seemed to be some fine print I am not understanding.

I really have to stop thinking somehow the conflict between those two sides is ever going to stop? I want it to end badly. But damn it, I am 54, and it seems that Muslims and Jews are always going to be the two horn locked rams fighting each other. 

I am so sick of our species tribalism. I was hoping Bibi's ouster was going to help. 

How the hell does one honor the likes of Martin Luther King Jr, the likes of Malala, the likes of Gandhi, when you have bullies like Putin and Trump and Bibi and Imams and Hamas running the show?

When is humanity going to get tired of the fight? When is humanity going to collectively see our entire species as just that, the same species?

Unfortunately I think you are right, very depressing to accept.
