On March 22, 2010, Bryan Fischer, in his blog, “Bryan Fischer-Focal Point” expressed his displeasure at the the new health care legislation by stating in part:

“State governments can legitimately and constitutionally decide not to cooperate with the central government on the legal ground that Congress has transgressed the boundaries marked out in our founding document. The central government is trespassing on the sovereign territory of the states, and the states have every right to throw them off their property.

Trespassers can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Squatters can be evicted. If they won't leave, they can be tossed. And in the worst case scenario, if they won't surrender peacefully, they can be shot.”

So, Bryan Fischer is out for blood and revenge against a Constitutionally elected Congress that decided to pass legislation he does not like.

He nullifies his all his good arguments in his blog arguments about state rights after advocating violence. Calling for shooting anyone is wrong and hysterical.

The United States is a republic created by the Constitution with laws enacted to carry out its provisions. One provision, Article I, Section 8 in part says:

“The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; ...”

“To provide for the general welfare” has had a broad and powerful effect for over two centuries. For example, the Medicare and Social Security programs are federally mandated and Constitutional because they provide for the the general welfare of the United States. The new health care program will also be Constitutional for the same reason.

If Fischer doesn't like something he needs to stop acting like a spoiled child and follow the Constitution such as working to change the current slate of elected leaders and challenge laws in court.

Its a peaceful process unlike shooting someone in the head.
