In no particular order and with no particular theme.
See. I told you there was no rapture before the apocalypse.
Thought myself a citizen, now know I am merely a subject. I was a good citizen.But I promise this, I won’t be a very good subject.
No, I promise I will not make a very good subject at all.
The Dread Pirate Roberts just just robbed us of our liberty.
SCOTUS just flattened the last speed bump on the road off the cliff.
Judicial restraint when facing tyranny is virtue only to the cowardly.
When rulers become manifestly lawless, eventually so will the ruled.
Obamacare: A vast dipstick conspiracy.
The Liberty Tax — There is no other way to view it.
The future belongs to those willing to fight it off.
Here endeth the lesson. The Supreme Court is not a viable backup plan.
Americacide. I suppose if you have made up your mind to commit suicide, it is better to do it faster than slower.
Justice Roberts “Peace In Our Time” Appeasement never works. Giving them half only make them hungrier.
Wow. The Mayans only missed by 176 days. Not too shabby.

A little melodramatic, no?

but you've been a subject. The only time when Americans weren't subjects is between the writing of the Constitution and the start of the Civil War. Only then were their competing governmental and sovereignty claims. Before, one was a citizen of the state, and therefore the confederation. With the civil war, we are all Americans first, and the term 'state' has less meaning than Canadian 'province'.

You missed one: Welcome to the USSRA.

"I won't be a good subject at all" HEAR HEAR!

But, as Catholics, eerily have hope and faith in tomorrow. Maybe God is using this to end energize our flagging church. Maybe it is a means to reinvigorate those who believe in the good of our country, and get us to vote Obama out. We'll never know, but I still believe God has good plans for us. We need to continue to pray and believe. I have a surprising amount of peace over this, after my initial anger. God will prevail!!!

That's "we" have hope and faith.

From Chesterton's Ballad of the White Horse:
…I have a vision and I know,
the heathen shall return.
They shall not come with war-ships
They shall not waste with brands
But books be all their eating,
And ink be on their hands…
They shall come mild as a monkish clerk,
With many a scroll and pen,
and backward shall ye wonder and gaze,
Desiring one of Alfred's days
When pagans still were men…
By this sign you shall know them,
The breaking of the Sword
And Man no more a free knight,
That loves or hates his lord.
What though they come with scroll and pen
And grave as a shaven clerk
By this sign shall you know them,
They ruin and make dark.
By all men bound to Nothing
Being slaves without a lord
By one blind idiot world obeyed
Too blind to be abhorred…
By God and man dishonored,
By death and life made vain
Know ye the old barbarian
The barbarian come again–
Chesterton knew whereof he wrote…

I never thought SCOTUS would be a good backup plan. We The People need to be the plan!

Sour grapes make lousy wine. You are a papist first, an American second as I understand it. Our American constitution trumps you opinion.
Obama 2012!
