Geller: Passing Senate health bill on Christmas Eve "an act of treason and blasphemy"

From Pamela Geller's December 21 Atlas Shrugs blog post (emphasis in original):
The moochers and the looters, the crooks and degenerates voted at 1 am this morning to rip the constitution to shreds, to rape the American people and to nationalize medicine. Straight on party lines. All 40 Republicans voted against cloture. It was the Republicans' desire to continue the debate and hold up the legislation. All 58 Democrats and two independents voted to end debate -- the minimum number needed. They will pay for destroying this country.
In what can only be considered an act of treason and blasphemy, Senate Democrats are on track to pass the bill on Christmas Eve.
And these folks are hysterical as well, because they keep saying this would be a government takeover of the ENTIRE health care system. I wish that it were, but alas, it's not even close.
The crime of betraying one’s government; Providing aid and comfort to the enemy.
Now, I'm not sure what definition Pam is using, but what the Senate and the House did was NOT treason, unless of course, the enemy in her mind, are sick people who want/need health care.
Blasphemy:
Blasphemy is the use of the name of one or more gods, in a manner which is considered objectionable by a religious authority. ...
Now, again, not sure what definition of Blasphemy this woman is working on, but it doesn't appear to be, you know, the real definition of blasphemy, mostly because, it doesn't even remotely come close to holding true.
And as far as all of this shredding of the Constitution business, these people who are so against know they have a recourse right? Yes, they can file suit in a federal court to get the law reviewed as to whether or not it is Constitutional or not. It's really not that hard to do, but something tells me, they'll just pretend it's un-Constitutional instead of trying to prove that it is.
It's tough being a Troglodyte in a world full of facts.
But it's the Republicans fault that we're where we are with that - they aren't the victims here. They wanted the Dems to be up against this deadline! That was part of their plan, and they're getting exactly what they wanted. They've been trying to delay this at every opportunity - remember the vast number of amendments they put forward when the Senate Finance Gang of 6 came out with their proposal? It took days and days of hearings that lasted until after dark to get through that process, and remember the reading of Senator Sander's amendment they tried to force last week? I could gave you a bunch more examples.
They're playing the victimhood card again, when there's no reason for them to do so!
Uh-oh. That means most of the retailers in America are about to commit Blasphemy!
I'm sure a few of the GOP Senators would rather be "hiking the Appalachian Trail", if you know what I mean....
(Gov. Mark Sanford reference)
This is stupid.
But they are simply, once again, playing the victims here without their actually being victims at all.
Extra points for using words like rape, hitler, socialism, treason.
Stupid people.
