You should read about General Smedley Darlington Butler who served for 33 years as a Marine. Maybe you will believe it from him. Radical Islam is a small percentage of Islamic people. Not all Islamic people are terrorists. Radical Islamis supported and funded to keep the military industrial complex going. There are some who are tired of our government interfering with other countries. We support terrorists and dictators as long as the corporate interests are served and there is a long list. Noriega, Hussein, Duvalier, Bin Laden just to name a few. We worked with the Taliban because there was a oil company building a pipeline through Afghanistan. When the Taliban wanted too much compensation they became our enemy. Our government has overthrown democratically elected governments because the corporations did not agree with their policies such as in Haiti. We need to uphold the Constitution and have a non-interventionist foreign policy.

Thanks for intelligent reply.

On the car thing. If the car industry slows down it will a good thing. The thing is to support the car workers through the transition as the car industry winds down and produce fewer cars. People maintain the cars they have and those that lose there jobs in whatever industry are given the opportunity to be trained for free in a different area of work. Electricians, plumbers, teachers. Producing solar panels, developing wind power, looking after the elderly. The world changes…that’s the only thing we can know for certain happens. It doesn’t stay the same. This is a time of enormous change and a chance to reevaluate priorities which may not mean that buying a new car every year is considered desirable, moral or ethical. It happened in WW2 when production was suddenly redirected and people where redirected into other jobs. I don’t think change is a bad thing. Fear of change is difficult for most people.

On restaurants….how many record shops have closed because of being able to download music. How many dating agencies went out of business because of online dating. How many shops close down because people prefer to buy online….all changes we accept and workers in those areas adapt and change too.

They will ‘quit hiring’ but new areas of work will develop to fill the void. I’m not worried. I think its a good thing.

If someone is sitting on the sofa on welfare? Well most people on welfare WOULD like a job that gives them a sense of community and self worth….or they are sick. So I don’t think that arguement is valid, particularly as for the majority its a temporary set back which could happen to anyone.

On paying taxes. I think if you have enough money for decent food for the family and a warm house and you can afford one holiday a year then really that’s all you need to amke you happy. Some people just have too much money and waste it on meaningless trivialities.

Just like most religious people take the bits they like from the bible and dismiss the outrageous bits that offend our sense of morality so too can you take the good bits from Marx and capitaism and dismiss the rest.

People at the moment are slaves to the corporations who give very little security to their workers…so we already have slave labour in capitalism. Even mortgage payers. I know I have been a slave to my mortgage for 24 years. Never quite earning enough to have a decent holiday each year. And I am a graduate.

If you have the right farsighted people in government who have the best interests of everyone at the heart of their decisions, rather than being driven by short term profit, government running things is far better and better decisions are made for the benefit of all rather than the few.

Just my thoughts

That’s communizm you fool

Yes that would be the dream,but that is not the reallity here in the States.We have a republican terror group that wants everything but do not want to pay for them.They get elected every other election and run up the debt so high that it can never be paid off.That makes taxes high because in addition to the budget we have to pay interest on the debt.Some times I think we should take away the Governments power to borrow and make it a pay as you go deal.The borrowing requires double the tax to run the Government.

The US has borrowed so much money to fund their lifestyle over the last few years that they owe millions to China. The irony. The have to pull in the belt to live within their means. Communism failed and now Capitalism has failed given that the financial whizz kids soent all their time fiddling to make it appear that the US was rich to its people and to make shed loads of money for themselves individually into the bargain. Another way now being argued over. The arguments are inevitable and positive.

Its not communism I am talking about…its social democracy where the people themselves have the power, not the few who have made money on the backs of the workers. Is the 8 hour day of a nurse worth really that much less than a guy who fiddles and manipulates figures for a living? Not in my eyes.

I still champion home ownership. I still champion small business like coffee shops and independent retailers etc etc and those who have a brilliant new idea to benefit society and be given the means to go into production. So its not communism I am talking about. The USSR was state capitalism. That failed. People talk about freedoms…what they really talk about is power to decide their own lives…I am all for that. In the UK there was big hoohah about the cancer drugs not being made availkable for certain cases. There was a massive outcry and this was changed. You have the ability to change policy as an ordinary citizen by peaceful and intelligent protest. The electable politicians listen.

So I am talking about social democracy…not communism. The UK, French and Germans have all since ditched their aristocracies. That seems to me to be what the tax outcry is trying to protect…the new US aristocracies that will hang onto their money made on the backs of ordinary workers any way they can and threaten to leave the US and live …where??? I haven’t worked out where. The coming global agreement to bring tax havens to account and prevent the rich from cutting and running when they should be putting back into the society that made them rich should make it harder for them to find somewhere to run to.

Interestingly, its the ordinary citizens from the left and the right in the US and in Europe that are mobilising and saying the same thing…we want a say in how our lives are run. We want self determination. We want services that work. I just see it that the trickle down effect that Reagan and Thatcher espoused…..failed miserably. So you hold your politicians to account to make sure at the very least the services are good, fair, rewerd endeavour but also protect the vulnerable. You give people the support they need to adapt to a new society along the way while it is in transition.

We all just want the same thing really. We want something that works and something that is fair. The extremes of the right and left haven’t worked so far. Both have been a disaster for the ordinary people. In eresting that Cuba, despite the embargo, has managed to achieved something. The people are very happy, jolly…I have just talked to my travel agent who has just come back from touring the whole country. The farmers are well paid. They are without luxuries a lot of them but they one of the best education and health care in the world. They achieved that by deciding that was a priority I guess. Without the embargo I guess they would not be short of things we are used to having. Be interesting to see what happens once the trade embargo is lifted. Its big corporations that are most opposed to this sort of thing. Do you know a US water company tried to sell the Bolivians their water back to them….nuts!!! Whose water is it??? Bizarre.

American Citizen

Don’t you know that corporate welfare programs is many many times greater that the total spend on welfare programs for the poor. Of course the official word is subsidies not welfare that we use for the poor. If by lowering taxes brings in so much more taxes then why did Bush need to run up the deficit by borrowing to pay for his tax cuts. It sure did not bring in taxes any where near what was cut from the budget or produce the jobs we were told it would. Before he left the economy was spiraling downward with jobs be dumped all over the place and who knows how long it will take to turn this around, most predict the middle of 10 but no one is guaranteeing this.

I don’t know. In the UK we have the opposite experience. We used to have great services but since many have been privatised they have gone downhill and everything has just become very confusing. If I have one more electricity company coming to my door trying to get me to leave one company to join theirs I swear I will swing for them. I remember the days when one organisation ran the phones, ran the trains and ran the utilities…now its just one big mess.

We do have universal health care and noone dies in the streets. It was born of a time of great struggle…ie WW2. Our National Health Service is great. OK if you want a boob job you might struggle…but if you have a life threatening condition you are whisked in and operated on immediately. Our drugs are free if you are on a low income or subsidised ie £7 a prescription otherwise.

You just need a ‘can do’ mentality to make whatever service the best it can be. Generally people want to build the best service that can be achieved, whatever that service is. Fortunately that is still very much a part of human nature…to strive to be the best and to be creative. I just hate the ‘driven by profit’ mentality. It shouldn’t be at the heart of what we striving for.

Stop signing the petitions for encumbants to get back on the ballot.If ecumbants are on the ballot then new people will not try to run.

reply to : Cathy Reply:April 24th, 2009 at 11:34 pm

He is not fighting them, the courts are dismissing them for lack of evidence. The vital records in Hawaii show his birth recorded there, he has it posted on his web site for you all to see. factcheck.org has also investigated it and found your allegations to be blatantly false. I suspect your alleged Vegas incident is fiction as well. I suspect that all the facts in the world will not convince you of the truth as you want so bad to believe this. I suppose it justifies your hatred of him in your mind. Silly gurl. You are the fraud

Alleged Vegas incident? What the heck are you talking about? I’m saying he has kept all of his records hidden from everyone. The mystery continues…

I want to know just why on earth he has spent close to a million dollars just to avoid producing his records. And no, that “certificate of live birth” is not authentic.

And yeah, I hate him and know many others who feel the same. He is an arrogant narcissist. It is said he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Not true…he knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s going to ruin this country. That is his mission. He was chosen to run and become president by the Bilderbergs. He is their puppet.

I’m not a silly girl (learn how to spell)…

For someone who does not listen to conservative talk shows you sure know well all their talking points, so where do you get them from?? Factcheck.org is associated by the conservative bunch as being liberal and that gives them the excuse to not believe it but if you actually read it they give you all their sources and links to them so you can check it out your self. Even if they are supported by liberals that does not undermine their accuracy in light of the fact they document all their sources of information, have you ever seen any of the conservatives document anything, they always shoot from the hip. You ignored all the lawsuits and court actions I spoke about, do you also think the courts do not know the constitution as you still believe what they do not. I believe you do believe in the constitution, unfortunately, I do not believe you really understand it. There is no evidence that Barrack was ever of the Muslim faith, it is well documented he was raised Christian and has practiced that faith in his adult life. I suppose it is easier to hate him if you make yourself believe that nonsense. Those of us that are guided by the real facts and the truth know that your fictional accounts in your posts have no validity. Will not comment on the rest of your statements as I do not wish to address your petty jealousies. I do not believe he is “the anointed one” unless by that you mean he is the one who received the majority of the votes cast for president last November, if that anoints him then it is “We the People” who anointed him but I do not see it that way. Do you see him as the anointed one???? enuff said

Just because you say he has not produced the records does not mean he has not. It is on his website a replica of the original that Factcheck.org (you can see it on their site) actually examined the original birth certificate in Hawaii and found it to be authentic. The records are open to the public so why should he produce them and he has not tried to have the state of Hawaii hide them as you seem to suggest. Second the most famous of the lawsuits filed was by a Phillip Berg and this lawsuit was dismissed by the lower and appeals courts and appealed all the way to the US supreme court who looked at it at refused to hear thus rendering it over and done with, other lawsuits have have not been anymore sucessful. If you actually read his lawsuit you will find he only basis it on article II section 1 of the constitution and ignores the fourteenth amendment that adds definition to natural born citizen and this is probably why the supreme court refused to hear the case it as it is mostly pure BS which most thinking people can conclude if only they would take the time to read it. I suppose no matter how many things happen that have and will prove you wrong you will still insist you are right, hate will do that to you and also blind you to the truth. Oh I do know how to spell by the spelling I used it is considered a silly girl and I think you are as well as ignorant. You certainly seem to have swallowed the conservative talk shows talking points which in my opinion suggests you are unable to think objectively for yourself.

Factcheck.org…Annenberg…enough said. Liberal group saying it’s authentic.

Not only is his birth certificate dubious, where in the heck are his college records? Maybe Bill Ayers or Reverend Wright have them in their safes? This man is merely too damn mysterious.

Furthermore…I’ve been thinking for myself for more than half a century. I’m not one of the “sheeple.” So don’t even go there. I do not listen to the conservative talk shows or any other “talking points,” as you suggest. I’m a Libertarian, a believer in the US Constitution., which, obviously, the politicians ignore completely, both Democrats and Republicans. They do state they will uphold the constitution when being sworn in…then seem to immediately forget that part of the oath.

Be that as it may, wherever he was born, makes no difference. As I’ve already mentioned, he is destroying this county purposely, since he is a puppet being manipulated by the Bilderberg group. Get it?

He is also a Muslim, which is the reason he didn’t take his disgusting wife to the Muslim countries when they were in Europe. It is against Muslim law. And his bowing to the Saudi king, that’s a signal to the Muslim world. (I’m sure Reagan flipped in his grave when that happened.

And while I’m on this subject, just why does his entire extended family need to travel the world with him? Hey, get elected president, and your family gets to see the world and stay in the best hotels.

Then there’s Michelle O’Bummer and her $500 pair of sneakers (sorry…I need some and am looking for the pair I want…so far the lowest price I found is $34.95 plus tax) and her, from what I understand, $9,000 handbag.

She and hi belong together. Such arrogance when Americans are losing their jobs and families are losing their homes. And he has the nerve to tell Americans to “tighten their belts” while the “King and Queen” spend like drunken sailors.

Whoops…I apologize to all the drunken sailors out there…These two are worse than that…

In the meantime, just keep drinking your Kool-Aid. You are obviously smitten with the anointed one. Just like in the 30′s, when Germans were smitten with Hitler. Get it?

ill bet you think obama is the long awaited for messiah wrong

Any fifth grader would be preferable to a republican.

Wow, so now Suddencall has resorted to grade-school references to try and get his point across. What’s next? “I know you are, but what am I?” You’re pathetic. You have not been able to articulate a single, reasonable point once since you’ve started posting here. I believe your only purpose here is to see how many people you can upset with your diatribe. Well, you may be getting what you want, but understand this: you are allowing readers of this blog to see how ignorant you are, and how ignorant you are on the politics you are supporting. Keep it up, we appreciate the help…

God, I hope so…I’m also in Vegas! He sucks.

Twice in one month here. Come on Memorial Day!! Let’s keep doing it until that arrogant group in Washington get the message.

And you were there???????????????????????/

Why do you keep showing your total lack of history? Blithering blind idiot. Like I said, your quickest route to any sense of what this country is founded upon and believes, would be to read Levin’s “Liberty and Tyranny”. When I hear the phrase “Stupid Is As Stupid Does”, I will always think of you. Do you think I am wrong? Why don’t you read the Declaration? You can read, right? Pay attention where they talk about Natural Law (since you are an idiot, I’ll give you one: means ‘from God’). Pay attention about ‘God-given’ rights. Where they “petition the Almighty for the rectitude of our intentions”. If that isn’t clear enough, try reading the various colony charters, and the Federalist papers where INTENT is established. Wake up already!

amen

SUDDENCALL – I guess you were educated in a government school and get your disinformation from the dinosaur media. Your ignorance is not just appalling, but alarming. Unfortunately, there are far too many like you in this country willing to suckle at Uncle Sam’s tits. The tea parties are not about the taxes we pay now, but those we know are coming due to Obama’s policies. They are also about the freedoms we know will be lost. We are not willing to become slaves to the Federal Government. The people who were able to attend one of the tea parties were of all sizes, ages, political parties and colors. In other words, people far too intelligent to be taken in by the crocodile Obama’s smile. I’m sure there are many thousands like us who were unable to attend, but heartily wished we could have.

Clinton had nothing to do with the republican greed that caused this mess. He was way to busy trying to defend himself from the republican terror organization attack machine.That is the reason that some things did not get completed.Like I said You are getting bad information.Limbaugh does not deal in honesty and facts.He is an entertainer and comedian along with the rest of the promoters of greed and propaganda which is the life blood of the republican terror organization.
I rest my case.

By the way, just announced over Fox (I know, surprisingly we listen to Fox) News, it seems that there is talk now that Obama’s tax cut is going to be allowed to expire after this year. Coincidentally, Bush’s tax cuts will also be expiring next year. Seems like Obama’s health-care initiative is far more important than helping out working-class Americans try to make a living.

So, how crazy are we TEA party members now? Where is that CNN reporter out of Illinois now with her stupid little $400 tax credit?!

Actually genuis, it started with J Carter. If you remember R Reagan bombed Kadafy and that was the last time we heard from him. Although your liberal text books will give Reagan no credit for anything he accomplished, I know the facts because I was there. You talk like someone that watches link tv with all their leftist lies. Panama! Watched it on link. Pure BS. I was there, I know.

The ones placing these chains on our legs will be the “Socialists” we now have in power! This country was not founded on christian teaching? Are you a complete idiot? Have you ever read a history book? How about looked at our money “In God We Trust” Where do you think they got that phrase from practicing Satan worship?

The very definition of socialist is Republican.Tell the people you will take care of them and then steal them blind.Typical republican policy.

The very definition of a Democrat seems to be ignorance and denial judging by your comments suddencall

Suddencall facts my boy seem to allude you like the plague. SHILL, take your BS elsewhere.

It is obvious that he is reading the revised history, put out by the left propogandists. He needs to read the real history on how the nation was founded, look at the constitution and realize most of it has been formed around biblical principles. All of us need to read 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Reply to Salmon: Spell out the biblical principals you think it was founded on. 2 Chronicles 7:14. reads “Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before the Lord” sorry I missed the connection Salmon want to shine some light on your statements.

Obviously not the King James version: 2Chr 7:14 If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and will heal their land. /A general reference to a scripture with which believers can help our country get right, not attached to the Constitution remark.

While making certain not to endorse any denomination of religion over another, the founders of this nation made it emphatically clear that the principles upon which this Nation was built are based squarely upon the Bible.


Patrick Henry boldly declared:

It cannot be emphasized too strongly that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded assylum, prosperity and freedom of worship here.

Likewise, the Constitution of the United States was drafted so as to be in accordance with the Scriptures, to be the legal foundation of a republican form of government based on that model which God had ordained for the children of Israel. Indeed, Thomas Jefferson even suggested that the national seal be a portrayal of “the children of Israel in the wilderness, led by a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.” Much of the Constitution and our American common law and organic law is also derived from the principles of the Magna Carta, which expressly forbade monarchial tyranny.

Suddencall, you must be a product of our proud school system since you have no idea about what our founding fathers believed. All of them understood that the only way the Constitution they created could survive and thrive was with a Christian people who followed their faith. Go learn real history, not that crammed down the throats of our children by the liberal dregs of our nation. Additionally, figure out what laws/bills passed by Congress have created the mess we are in. It started, of course, with FDR. Was further pushed with Carter. The linchpin that created the Housing/Banking/Credit crisis was a bill passed under Clinton that the New York Times predicted would create just the crisis it did. Then when that bill was passed liberal organizations like ACORN pushed banks to give loans that were dangerous to our economy.
So, learn the real truth or you and we are bound to suffer the consequences as is already happening because of our government interfering in the free market with socialist programs.

40 years, starting with R Reagan. That’s funny, seeings how President R Reagan wasn’t elected until 1980, and this is 2009. Obviously you are a product of the government run public school brainwashing.

Your an out cast minority party and you could not win a rebelion in this country . Go a head and try then we can take steps to fix this for good. something like the rules set up for the indians that would not pledge alligience to the country and constitution.Patriots do not try to destroy our constitution.Christians do not try to cercomventthe rules.There will be no republicans and there will be no christians in the kingdom of god.
The framing fathers did not deny god, they denied the christian teaching.Which is nothing more than superstition and myth.

suddencall,

Spelling and history just don’t have a place in your life. I am actually a member of the largest growing party, those Patriots who respect the Constitution and all of its amendments. What rules are you referring to about Christians bending? And what myth? I know I am welcome the Kingdom of God where legalism does not exist which should leave you in Purgatory hoping that Christians will pray for you to get out. Read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence before you comment. So you will try to fix it? How do you intend to do that? Put your brown shirts on and raid our homes? Sieg Heil! We will be waiting for you……

At least pump up your tires correctly.

Yes, the land will exist, the trees will exist, the buildings in the towns and cities will exit, and A GOVERNMENT will exist. What kind of government? If the leaders in the present day Democratic Party have their way, the government of the United States of America will be controlled by these hard nosed purveyors of Socialistic dogma the same way all Socialist countries are governed.

Read your American history, especially the ideas about how this country would be governed. The ideas put forth by James Madison and John Adams were rock solid and these ideas didn’t contain any Socialistic dogma.

Read “The Federalist Papers”. Read how the ideas written into the United States Constitution were formulated. The men who developed this document thoroughly discussed and debated every governing idea known to them at that time in world history. Not one communistic or socialistic idea was written into the Constitution. These men realized that the foundation for this new Republic must be constructed in a manner that did not compromise the ideals by which they lived their lives.

They included in this document a means by which the American people could make changes in the Constitution when it was necessary. These changes would be done in a lawful manner. No single individual would have the power to make a change that was not acceptable to three fourths of the American population. By design, It was made very difficult to make a change in the Constitutional foundation regarding the legal operation of our government – both state and federal.

The present occupant in the White House believes that he has all the answers necessary to govern this country. However, he IS a Socialist. He doesn’t do a very good job in hiding his socialistic intentions. Most Americans — when they finally wake up — will not accept the socialistic IDEAS he is championing. What they do about it has not been determined at this time. But, you can stake your life on this, strong efforts will be made by MOST Americans to counter the revolutionary socialistic changes that Obama is hell bent on bringing about.

again you do not know your history, The current administration has literally doubled America’s debt, this all of the past 43 presidents and the debts they incurred, in the short time less than 4 months, 120 days and will not only have our grandchildren, paying for debt, but also, great, great great grandkids, at the rate he is going.

It would seem that sudden call is one of those ACORN employees that get paid to sit and blog on consertive blogs to change minds. They use the low IQ, you are uneducated, you are not enlightned and so one. My brother, a product of the 60′s dope smoking, peace loving, I don’t care about the government, is the same as this guy. It is like listening to the liberal agenda over and over again.

I am assuming SF Retired that you are referring to SuddenCall, also known throughout as an uneducated Idiot. I am neither young nor a product of the 60′s. And I do care very much for this great land in which I was born and have grown up. It has taken awhile for American citizens to move away from apathy and start being proactive on the freedoms which we actually have left in this country. I do not want to give up any more and do not believe that we should.

Like i said, you’re an idiot. Is Obsama a Republican? Is Congress Republican majority? I looked up idiot in the dictionary, sure enough, there was your picture!

Suddenrecall, with each posting you are showing your ignorance. Try opening a history book for a change. You are factually incorrect in every detail. The national debt has quadrupled in less than 6 months. Bush started it but Obama is putting Bush’s spending to shame.

[Obamaniac] O⋅ba⋅man⋅i⋅ac

1. a person or persons subjugating themselves to total faith in illegitimate
leadership
2. a raving or violently insane person; lunatic with respect to Barry
2. any intemperate or overly zealous or enthusiastic person: a maniac when it

Pernicious you forgot number 4) a total narcissist.

The way I see it…the depth of the mess that the financial system was in was hidden and has only since late 2008 been revealed in all its glorified mess. So Obama’s grasping the nettle….and getting slated for it. Its inevitable really…that he gets it in the neck. I don’t understand economics, though I’m certainly getting a bit better at it, but its obvious to me whoever tried to sort out the mess was going to make a lot of enemies. Its a shit situation and it wuld have been shit whoever tried to sort it out.

I am reading ‘City Boy’ fascinating (low brow) and outrageous read about culture that prevailed in the financial sector that got us into this mess in the first place.

What all of you are failing to realize is that ALL of this started with Woodrow Wilson in 1912 and HE WAS A DEMOCRAT!!! If we are going to follow the history of how we all got where we are today then let’s do it right. Check out the Council on Foreign Affairs and the Trilateral Commission. These are the people that have been leading us ALL down the road to communism. These very people that are the wealthy and elite of our country, Europe, China and Japan are the ones killing our country. Only by setting term limits on all current members of Congress and getting all the fat rich bastards that have sucked the life out of this country out of our government, can we possibly hope to save us from destruction. This process that started back in 1912 is coming to fruition. When you talk history let’s remember where it all started- with a Democratic President.

You are correct, it did start with a Democrat, but has been carried on by both Democrats and Republicans alike. What they have in common is Progressivism, and that is what truly needs to be rooted out of both parties. Really what it comes down to is your view on the Constitution.

Is it “a good starting point”, a “living document” that grows and evolves, or is it a rock that we built the foundation of our country on? Progressives believe that it is a living document, constantly needing new interpretation and understanding, but worse than that, they do not believe that it should be the law of the land, rather, they believe that the US should follow the leading of the rest of the world when it comes down to governance, law, and politics. What is the majority of the rest of the world doing? That is what they believe we should be doing. They want to be lead, they want to follow, they don’t want to have personal responsibility. That is not how we became the great Nation that we did.

To put it in a more historical perspective, these are the same type of people that believed that things were just fine under King George (of England, we’re not talking Bush), and that things would have eventually improved. There was no need for all of this talk about revolution, and that it would only bring us pain and suffering. This country was founded on the ideology of independence. To willfully give up ANY portion of our sovereignty in order to be politically correct with the rest of the world is a disgrace to our Founding Fathers and all who have fought and served in the name of the Constitution of the United States.

Suddenly
Let me guess – you’re under 30 and the product of a public school education where you were coddled, told repeatedly how wonderful you were, and never had to exercise anything above your neck except your mouth.

Try educating yourself. When you do you’ll look back on your life and wonder how the heck you were so ignorant, misguided and uninformed. Start with Levin’s Liberty & Tyranny – you will be amazed at what your lack of education has done to your world view.

To sudden, what rock have crawled out from?

Did you finish the 8th grade. Have you not read what the people have written here. Stop drinking the kool-aid and step away from the teleprompter. How do you suppose all these trillions of dollars will be repaid and who do you think will repay the trillions? WE the tax payers. Now explain if you can – what will spending millions on studying pig-sh** do to stimulate the economy? What good will come from cutting the Military budget do the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. What good FOR THE PEOPLE did bowing to a Muslim Prince achieve? What good did throwing the PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA under a bus all over EUROPE do for PEOPLE – us and you. Please explain.

Suddencall:

Try entitlements passed by Democrats = debt.

Now if you want term limits, the solution for that is simple.

When selecting the individual to represent our given party for an elected position we should be allowed ‘None of the above’. If ‘None of the Above’ wins, that party must put together a whole new slate and do a run off. Now, in order to support one’s party, we are not locked into the incumbent.

Is it just me, or has anyone else notice that Suddenrecall just keeps regurgitating the same point repeatedly?

Hey Suddenrecall,

Are you working for ACORN? You can’t defend BO policies…only name calling and misrepresenation of the facts.

You are a good example of what I’ve been saying…Liberalism is a mental disorder. Black is White and Up is Down in your world.

Here’s a few questions for you to think about in your hotel room tonight.

If you hated Bush’s spending, why aren’t you protesting someone who tripled the spending!

Why was BO the first president in American history to bow to a foreign dignitary! The Saudi’s no less…you know them as the people with all the oil. WTF!

BO is pals with evil dictators, Chavez, Castro, et. al. Is this a good thing?

Ready! Fire! Aim! – BO Gitmo strategery. I think he should house some of those killers in the White House! What do you think?

BO doesn’t know crap about Photoshop does he?

$2B to ACORN! Really! Weren’t they the ones that were suing banks for not lending to people that ultimately couldn’t pay their bills. BO worked for them too right?

He is destroying our ecomony and using the poor, uneducated and mentally disturbed to do it. Your guy is a liar and you are unwilling to admit it, huh?

Go take your meds (Crack) and report back to your ACORN masters that you were unsuccessful in fooling the REAL Americans.

DHS threat out.

Good luck with your goal.But with these High IQ tea party helpers, I have little faith that you will acomplish any real change,other than we will lose the republic.These folks do not even know who is their enemy.

Is obama the real change you wanted? If so seems you are the one with the IQ problem or you are living off the taxpayers. You sound like an ACORN employee.

I feel more confident than ever that these Tea parties (which I also attended) are a HUGE success. Just look at the cock-roaches coming out of the woodwork to bash them. We have struck a nerve. The left-wing media (i.e. CNN, NBC etc.) are doing everything in their power to minimize the significance of the Tea Parties.

Suddenrecall, when was the last time you denigrated and insulted people for exercising their DUTY of questioning the government, especially when one party has totally unchecked power in the executive branch and Congress?
Good luck with the creation of your Utopian-Cradle-to-grave, Nanny state. Now go check your mail, your welfare check is probably waiting for you there.

A third party would most likely suck enough votes away from the lesser of the two evils that the truly evil one would win. That’s exactly what happened to get Clinton elected. The true solution is growing enough spine to throw the bums out when they vote for policies WE THE PEOPLE don’t agree with. All of the Founding Fathers believed in term limits for a reason. Vote people in that will press that agenda, or push your states into calling for a Constitutional Convention to force the issue.

Let’s just see what the July 4th tea parties produce. I believe we no longer have to pay attention to how the media reports on us. We use our social networking to get the true numbers. The numbers of attendance for April 15th were around 580,000 in 750 cities. I predict the July 4th parties will produce numbers well in the 10′s of millions.

I believe that if the Republicans were on our side, we would have seen some of them by now, scolding the liberal press for what they did to us. If there are enough of us, I think both parties will be replaced by the silent majority who values what this country was founded on. Like Obama, we are utilizing the weapon of social networking. Unlike Obama, however, we’re not targeting the young and/or ignorant masses, but the working/informed masses.

At the end of our tea party in Tulsa, OK, one of the speakers stated that it would be wonderful if some of us would run for office. “That’s what our founding fathers wanted…statesmen,” is what she said. I think this medium for the working class of America (i.e. tea parties) will be very efficient in uniting and equipping us as Americans to fight for what our Constitution provides for us. I don’t think the liberals (whether in D.C., in state and local governments or even those on this site) will be able to ignore us much longer. We didn’t ask for this fight, but neither will be sit back and let career politicans and greedy bullies run our lives.

Young man, you are not very well educated in political history. The Democrats have had control of the house in since Pres. Bush, second term, One term during Pres. Clintons and during the Sr. Pres. Bush’s term and one during Pres. Reagan’s, this is the first time in awhile that a Democratic and liberals have had control of both the house, senate and the executive branch.
Oh and by the way your spelling is atrocious.

SuddenRecall, Put down the kool-aid and step away from the altar of Obama.
He has spent more in the 1st 90 days than all other US presidents in US histor…COMBINED! You’re telling me that this is nothing to be alarmed about? You act like …no big deal….It IS a big deal, you just refuse to believe your Messiah could be wrong. I hope your right because our future as a nation is on the line.

Can you spell republican. The first trillion was bush for the republican bankers and that was fine with you dead heads.But there was several trillion that they ( republicans ) never told you about.All this is republican terror oriented.You have no clothes.

SUDDENCALL: I am praying the FAITHFUL almighty God grabs you by the back of the neck and shakes some respect for your country, those who are a whole lot
smarter than you and those older than you. YOU NEED A SUDDEN WAKE UP CALL! Before you start mocking inteligence, growup. I would bet this is the first election you ever got involved in and most likely you didn’t have the know how of where to go to vote.
God is very faithful in answering prayer. This next prayer is for you buddy.
Lord make him humble. Amen

Suddencall:

Most of us here are smart enough to know it was a Congress controlled by Democrats who passed the first bail out.

We also know they did not even take the time to read the second one passed this year.

It is you, now us, that needs to get a hold of reality here.

There are two L’s in the word “challenged”. Just a mental note.GBB

i was going to say something as a reply,but why waste my time? your a moron who knows how to spell,nuff said!

It is quite obvious that you are the one that is mentally challenged, or maybe just illiterate and uneducated. If you are one of those that is ready for the dollar to fall and everyone will have to get their little handouts from the Federal Government, then more power to you. You go ahead and buy your little green electric car and LIVE OFF OF WHAT THEY DECIDE YOU DESERVE. If left to continue, capitalism will die and we will be forced into socialism. That will make us like Russia. You are a fool if you think that this administration gives a hoot about you. I’m 48 years old and I first heard of this takeover when I was 10. The enemy is not outside our borders, they come from within. JDH

Bang on Keith, what do congressmen fear the most? Failure to be re-elected. Seeing they are such a corrupt bunch of bums (not all) watch them change their strategy if it looks like their out of a job.

dear sir,
this is not about political parties, this is about the Great Nation of America. Land of the Brave, Home of the Free. Note Free. Where was I when gas prices and our country not only is but was spiraling out of control. Doing the same, calling my congressman, peaceful protests, writing letters. Demonstrating that my country is important, not bashing those in leadership. I did not vote for the current administration, nor do I agree with what he is doing, in the same vein, I did not agree with things the prior administration did, and I wrote letters, called my congressman, spoke out in protest. What have you done, Young man for your generation?

Do you really believe that?Well it looks like politics to me.Me thinks you have no clothes.

You, sir, with all respect, are a first class idiot. I agree with some points in your letter. George W. was basically a traitor. Not building the fence, etc. However, as said before, “All that is needed for evil to succeed, is for good men to do nothing”. You liberal Marxist communists love to point your finger at George W. for going to war. You love to ignore the fact that all the Dems agreed, including Clinton, that the threat was real, and we had no choice but to take out Soddamned Insane, so shut the hell up on that already. You have just witnessed the President Imposter in the Blight House commit to spending more in less than 100 days than ALL previous Presidents COMBINED! And you tell us we are out of touch by 30 years. You are an idiot supreme. The man is a Congenital Liar. Virtually every campaign promise was a lie. Virtually everything he has said is a lie. Under his command, Muslim terrorism in this country will now be classified as ‘man-made disturbances’ or some such nonsense, while re-classifying men and women who love this country so much that they went over-seas, putting their life in the line of fire so that idiots like you are free to hate freedom, will now be classified as right wing extremists with possible terrorist tendencies. In that same grouping are people that believe same sex ‘marriage’ is a sin (read Romans 13, KJV, please), and those that actually believe a baby should have the right to life, rather than being murdered. You have a man in the Blight House that is hell-bent on destroying America as fast as possible, and you think those that disagree with you are out of touch. Amazing. Why would he not have the time to honor the fallen heroes in the cemetery in France, but have the time to go to a mosque and admit that he is ‘of the faith’? Why before speaking at a Christian University would he require an image of Jesus Christ to be covered so that he doesn’t have to look at it? Because he is a muslim through and through that hates America. Why else would you be a friend to someone that hates America enough to bomb it, with the only regret being that he didn’t do enough damage (Ayers)? You need to read Mark Levin’s 3 week NY Times best-seller “Liberty and Tyranny”. When you are done, repent, or move to some communist country where you will be happy not having a US Constitution.

IFrom the profits conner, there will be no christians and no republicans in the kingdom of god.
Amendment; All that is needed is for good men to do nothing and vote republican and all Americans will find themselves in chains.
You sir have your parties mixed up.The republicans are the ones that raised your taxes and lied to you about everything.They still are. They want to shut Obama down just like they did Bill Clinton.
California has not recovered from R. Reagan yet.

Sudden Call – Sorry to disappoint you, but you are not helping this situation by your regurgiating misleading facts.. If you think you have all the answers, please run for public office and straighten this country out. If you can’t support or trust your state representatives in Congress, then you have no-one to blame buy yourself. Let’s work together to save our wonderful nation.

I really take issue with your assessment. I grew up in the 60′s. It seems to me that a lot of the stimulas money is going for all the crap that the hippies were barking about almost 40 years ago. I didn’t agree with Viet Nam but went anyway and found out that we helped many people with food, medical assistance, and training. Yet this is never reported on. The tea parties are about taxes. The bill is coming due and our children and grand children and going to be the ones paying. A person age 20 will pay $120 thousand dollars during his working life just to pay the intrest on obamas spending. Add in bushs spending and it is not a pretty picture. We have already had $4 dollar a gallon gas. We have trillions of barrels in this country but the extreme left is the ones bitchen about drilling. Hundreds of oil rigs in the gulf during cat 3, 4, and 5 hurricanes and not one drop spilled. We have not built a refinery in this country for over 30 years because of the bunny and tree huggers. Now “gobal warming” has turned to “climate crisis” because the temp has dropped a degree in the past 7 years. Algore has made several hundred million dollars with this BS. Funny how he refuses to debate climantoligest that are not on the tax payers payrole from millions in subsidies. Obama wants everyone to drive electric cars. Great idea. When you and your hero fly on an electric plane, I’ll drive and electric car. With libs, it all about the cause. They don’t give a damn about the effect. There are hundreds of products that are derived from oil. Maybe you sould take a look to see how many of those products you are willing to live without. Cap and trade worked great in the UK. Business shut down and sold their carbon credits because they could make more money than producing a product. The effect, import the product which will cost the consumer more at the register. A billon dollars a week on war. Sounds pretty cheep considering a 3.6 trillion dollar budget that obama and his libs want for one year. Remember, they, radical Islum, have been coming after us for 30 YEARS! It took 9-11 for us to realize that they were serious. I will assume the only thing that you have done for this country is bitch and complain about your just due. Maybe you should enlist in the military and see the great things that they do that are not reported because of the liberal press that only want to report body counts; that is why the war is not in the news as much lately, and how much wealth one person has and all these others don’t have. Maybe we could look at their lifes decisions and deduse the reason they are where they are. But I know your type! Barney Frank, Pelosi, Reid ect. They want equality for no one but themselves. Tea partiers is not a bunch of winers, they are to slient majority that have had enough of this BS. Yes, we believe in God, the Constitution of the US and Liberty. We do not want the government to tell us when we can go to the bathroom. I’m sure there are many out there that don’t care as long as they get their checks. We are not them. We know about the laws in this country and want them inforced. Yet out “lawmakers” are telling illigals that the laws are bad and want to change them. We have homeland security assesment report that is telling law enforcement that ex military, prolife, and fair tax supporters and potiential terrorist? When did this happen. We can’t call a terrorist a terrorist, but we can call the warriors that are fighting and have fought to protect this country, including all the wining liberals, terrorist. If this is logical to you then I would say that you need to be educated by facts instead of opinions from CNN.

SF
Retired – The United States does not have the financial status, nor the desire to pay back our huge nation dept. So get real and stop using our children and their children as a excuse for not supporting the great United States of America. As for terrorists you are fitting right into the category as defined by federal regulations. The constitution makes it illegal to commit subversion. Let’s see how far and peaceful your protests will continue to be.! I support your right to speak your mind and demonstrate all you want, but I do not support your
cause to subvert our elected government. I am a military 28 year retiree, so I have been in the military almost all my life. If you have all the answers. please run for state or government office.The tea parties are nothing but political posturing for the republicans. Remember I’m of of them.

You are funny and so mistaken, are you sure you do not need someone to tell you when to go to the bathroom seeing as all the sh** you’re dropping here. “I will assume the only thing that you have done for this country is bitch and complain….” at least that is all I am hearing from you.

“What really should happen is these folks should have all there assets siezed to help pay for the damage they have done the last forty years by voting republican.”

Sounds like were well on our way to this. You’re getting your wish but it wont just be conservatives who have their property siezed. It will be yours as well.

Pernacious,

Couldn’t be spoken better by Marx himself. Why don’t take a look at your American History. Since before WWII, the democrats were in control of the House of Representatives and a good part of that same period, the Senate. I don’t consider myself a Republican, I’m a registered conservative. In other words, I believe in the Constitution. If it isn’t in the U.S. Constitution, then you shouldn’t be allowed by law to do it. If you want to change it, then amend it. Oh, by the way, this requires that 2/3 of the States ratify the amendment as well. Now, what would be the reason for it to be so difficult to amend the Constitution, I wonder. Oh yes, because the founding fathers wanted it that way. The Constitution wasn’t and isn’t a living breathing, ever changing document. It was intended to remain the same because regardless of technology, human nature remains the same. It is human nature to want to rule, not to be ruled. The founders made it extraordinarily difficult for one man, or one government body to be the “rulers”. You sir are the perfect example of what is wrong with the education system in this country. Check your facts before speaking. Even the dumbest person will appear to be intelligent as long as he keeps his mouth shut! Oh, one more thing. If you don’t like this country or are ashamed of what it stands for, you are always welcome to leave. I’m sure enough of us would chip in for the plane ticket.

As Americans we all believe in the constitution! Are you saying our elected officials are not abiding by the constitution? please give some examples!

Republican, where have you been? If you want to learn about all the violations of the constitution by the Bush regime go to http://www.sot.com and read the 487 page doc that John Conyers presented to the House. You will be very enlightened.

Hate to burst your bubble but the constitution has been amended 27 times since the original ratification the last time in 1992. You say “Oh yes, because the founding fathers wanted it that way. The Constitution wasn’t and isn’t a living breathing, ever changing document. It was intended to remain the same because regardless of technology, human nature remains the same.” are not you forgetting it was also our founding fathers who put in a means to ammend/change the constitution as we (each generation) sees fit, albeit they did not make it easy they did provide for a means for us to amend it and as it has been amended 27 times, your analogy is just plain false and as they had to idea what so ever as to the technology changes of the past 100 or so years and they did not want to handicap us from making changes on this or any other basis and in no way limited our reasons for changing it as they were wise enough to know times change things and thus changes are needed. Weather or not that is a living breathing document as some describe, I do not know, it is definitely not a stagnant one as you describe it. Funny how some of you are stuck in the eighteenth century and cannot get yourselves into the present. YOU sir, appear to believe in a constitution of your own making but do not fully understand the real US Constitution. I for one am very thankful the founding fathers made it impossible for you to accomplish what you want.

These people are not ignorant by any means. They are frustrated at the way Washington is doing business. In fact, I would say that they are very informed. Our friends and family have spent countless hours, days, weeks, calling, e-mailing, faxing ALL the Senators and Congress in this Country from both theBush & Obama Administrations!

Guess what they DON’T LISTEN. That should worry you Suddencall. What’s going on by this Administration and the last is going to ruin this Country. The Tea Parties are born out of this frustration.

Like Patriot said, “What have you done?” Wake up. The money Washington is spending is a CREDIT CARD Debt. Better pray that we can wake them up.

And people like you need to stop pointing fingers and start working for the Freedom this Country stands for. And the reason everyone wants to come here!

I agree it is motivated from frustration but I do not agree they do not listen to you the fact is they also hear from what the majority wants and that makes it appear to you they are not listening you but that does not mean they are not listening. Somewhere in this dialog it was stated that the first tea parties only totaled 300,000 attendees and if this is true it strongly suggests that you are truly a small minority and not likely be listened too unless you can convince them your position is the right one and that it would be wrong to listen to the majority I predict you will not get very far in getting what it is you want as most do not see things as you do.

SUDDENCALL, you’re ignorance is appalling. The Democrats were in power for 40 years and the Republicans were not in power long enough to undo the damage caused by the Democrats. Unfortunately, every time they tried to change something, the Democrats blocked it because they didn’t want the Republicans to have the credit. Now, it’s a FIE on both their houses. We have to let our government know we’re fed up. Next years is another election. Listen to what the candidates say. Of course, we know we can’t rely on all the promises, but we can hope. We need fewer lawyers in Congress and more business people who know what it takes to run a business successfully. And they should also have plain ole common sense. But it seems that anybody with common sense doesn’t want to run because of what the media will put him or her through. We’re behind a rock and a hard place.

In 1977, the legislation that required banks to lend to lower income folks was passed by Carter and the Democrats. While their hearts were in the right place, as usual the program dictated by law, and made worse by organizations such as Acorn then suing the banks for too few loans to poor folk, set this situation up. Clinton tweaked it to make it worse.

What did not help matters were investors who were out to make high returns, who moved from stocks, to real estate, and finally to petroleum. With the gas prices clear up to 4.00, the folks living on the edge had nowhere else to go but down and out; and that is what got the tailspin going.

And before even one poster tries to blame just Bush or Republicans for higher gas prices, one well known fact is that at any time Congress could have and still can write legislation that could fix that problem. None of them do though. In fact that should have been act one by Obama and crew; but even they don’t stand up for our financial security.

You know suddencall,It is discussing clown like you that has put us in this crap,You are a real live sucker at heart,Bill clinton was the great founder of fannie mae,acorn,And the total cause of the bank colapse,YOU IDIOT!,It is people like you that love to be smiled by a tyrant politician, And not smart enough to see how they laugh at your back you little mouse, See you in a card board box, Behind a bared wire fence,When you are crying like a little girl.So you keep putting these thives back in, Be arrogant keep watching your goverment own media.

I think I hear a call to prayer – get your carpet Ali Baba… and stop blasting Christians – it was Christians who founded this country and made it the greatest nation ever to grace the planet….

The country was not founded by a Majority of Christians, albeit some were Christians. In a lengthy interview with David Frost, when he asked Billy Graham this and Billy said it was of his belief it was not and further he said we have never been a Christian nation, that being a majority of us practicing Christianity. That is not to say we may have been a majority of religious people but that does not translate into a Majority of Christians. Do you believe that when the Constitution was written there was no Bill of Rights, only rich white men had the right to vote, slavery was still recognized as legal and importation of slaves was still legal until 1808 and it took a big civil war before anyone got the courage to end that and even later when the constitution was changed to reflect the emancipation proclamation and 131 years before the constitution gave the right to vote to woman. Given these facts do you still think this was the work of a majority of Christians or a compromise between them and others to gain the power to protect themselves as a nation and thus protect their wealth as it was written by wealthy men or their representatives doing their bidding. Oh and by the way do you think it was Christian the way the christian missionaries treated the Indians it was more like brainwashing them to change them to be like they were, it is hard for me to believe Christ would have treated the Indians that way even though those calling themselves Christians did. Do you have something against Muslims, do you really believe it is Christian to make fun of them and of anwar who made an accurate statement albeit a bid rude but not false, I find you statement more offensive.

You are so right on all counts save one: He is a professed Muslim by his own admission. I am Catholic, was then, and still am now angry on what the Jesuits revolt against Church Law did. Vatican II and the changing of the gaurd caused this condition to evolve into radical movements across the world. They are what you called them and not Priest’s of the Heart of Christ Jesus. Therefore, I congratulate you sir for the truth spoken herein. Amen.

No good ever comes of religious hatred. In fact religion is at the heart of all the worst conflicts this world has seen. As everyone claims to have ‘the truth’…I conclude noone does.

I know alot of hateful Christians and I agree that no good comes from hate. In todays world I also see that Muslims are the biggest haters on the block. Barok H. Obama has indeed slipped and admitted his Islamist beliefs more than once. Where does that leave that imposter?

I agree with you all. It is only by bits and pieces that we become aware of the larger picture. University of Maryland is now offering pornography cinema classes while deleting the daily prayer from school, our children are being subjected to government policies rather than education, food is being altered genetically, ( will we be), there is nothing to back up the dollar and yet more of them ae being produced, health insurance, do not go there, being able to afford your home, having a job and not enough money to sustain oneself, the picture gets bigger all the time. We are coming in for a hard landing without a net. Everyone says lets take America back, yet no one will relenquish their SUV/Hummer, or other gas guzzlers. Bring our jobs back to America so people will have one. I do not need to support another country when I can barely support myself. Wake up America! What did the Patriots fight for? Greed? TEA is healthy!

I mostly agree with you but you actually buy into the Global warming BS.

I too agree with all said here and you are right Bob Global Warming or as they now prefer to call it Climate Change is just another con to denude tax payers of more money. Wake up America!!!!

you are a sick puppy

Wow – you so called patriots have all the answers. If you can’t trust the representatives you put into office, then you have no one to blame but yourselves.
The majority of the voters support the President and his agenda. This is a democracy and the majority wins. Let’s get behind this President as patriots should do and get us out of this very bad economical situation.

standing behind a wrong choice is still a wrong choice.

Dear RINO, rtpublican in name only,You are dead wrong about the majority of voters supporting the Obama )it’s hard to say president even if he is. It’s true that he got the most votes on election da, but the great majority of those who voted for him had no idea what he stood for and what he would do. They didn’t vote for his policies. I won’t detail all the reasons they did, but it was not for socialism, nullifying the Bill of Rights, establishing a private militia nor a youth corps that smacks of what Hitler. he is not competent, but is VERY Dangerous. It was ignorance that elected him, largely young people who didn’t live during the great depression nor the second world war as I did and have not been taught in the schoolsand colleges. I can speak as a retired teacher and the mother of a college professor. I have been there for all of these. Ignorance of Obama’s agenda elected him.

Republican,
You, like so many others, are woefully mistaken about the nature of this country’s political system. It is a sad result of the misinformation perpetrated by our government-run schools. We are NOT a DEMOCRACY!!! A democracy is a tyranny of the majority, where 50.01% rule supreme over the other 49.99%. We are a Constitutional republic, where the minority still has a voice via their elected representatives and parliamentary rules (such as the filibuster) allow the minority party to wield influence on behalf of their constituents. At least, that’s how it was designed to work by our founders.

“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for supper; liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” Ben Franklin

Our Founders knew full well that democracy was the ultimate tyranny, because all one had to do was gain majority support and they could reign over the land as absolutely as any monarch or dictator. They took steps to prevent that when they wrote the Constitution.

Constitutional rule has allowed the most diverse group of people in history to not only live together in peace, but become the most powerful and prosperous nation in the history of the world. It is largely the erosion of the system of government established by our Founders that has led to the very serious problems we face today. We must restore the rule of Constitutional law. It protects us ALL from a tyranny of the majority, conservative, liberal, Democrat or Republican alike.

Otherwise, America will continue it’s fall into tyranny, and the future is bleak….and eventually may become bloody…for us all. We’ve been on this slippery slope for a very long time, through both Democratic and Republican administrations. Bush did a lot of damage, but Obama has slammed his foot on the accelerator and hit the nitro.

are you REALLY sure WE the People voted obama in, or was he a “selected” President? with ACORN and all the voter fraud out there, , heck, Ron Paul could have won and it wouldn;t have mattered. The media and his cheating ACORN are who got him him elected. Not us. thats my opinion. No birth Certificate, paid 800,000 for 3 FIRMS, not attorneys, FIRMS to NOT show his Birth certificate! He is for everything that is happening and will be our dictator very soon if americans don;t continue to wake up, hold Tea parties as much as possible as the media is putting the question in everyones head that this was a ONE time thing. WRONG AGAIN! We need to stay in thier faces, march every chance we get and grow in numbers and vote out incumbants. But here again the “voting” process has been damaged and who knows who REALLY was elected? or will be? We need to KEEP MARCHING!!!!

YOU’RE A MESS! THE PROBLEM IS THAT THOSE WE HAVE ELECTED DON’T TRUST US, OUR JUDGEMENT, OPINIONS OR THAT WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT! They should all be impeached and we should start over!

You have an aberated point of view when it comes to the Tea Parties. These were not organized by anyone particular cable new station or partisan committee but by the PEOPLE who ask ‘CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW…?” Apparently you do not. FOLLOW THE LAW ‘THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE’; we’re good enough to elect them but not smart enough to know what we want?!?!?

The tea party attendees came for multiple reasons from uncontrolled spending to gun control and all the rest cited in the DHS ‘threat analysis’. We want our Laws, as guaranteed by the Constitution, upheld.

Further, don’t believe all the polls; they’re biased and partisan, conducted by those with an agenda. Have you ever been asked to participate by a pollster?

BO won with a margin 52 to 48%. I believe that there were more than 5% of those people who are now completely disillusioned by BO, at TEA Parties (there were many at the one I attended). They, those that voted for BO are now realizing – they aren’t getting the kind of change they voted for.

azc111, you are bang on the money. most intelligent comment I have read here!!!

Some one needs to watch Hackingdemocracy.com WE may not have elected him. Your sate website will have the voting results for your voting district, when you meet with a large group from your own district and compare the numbers of those in your group and find that there are more in your group who testify to having voted a certain way and the numbers on the state website don’t acknowledge that many votes for that candidate in the county you know something is wrong.
Not only do we have to go to the polls and vote the bums out, but we have got to have a way, in every election, of verifying the vote.

The majority WON only because of our Liberal Media that would not even let the canidates that the people wanted to hear debate!! Wake up, we did not elect this evil person the MEDIA did it with all their whitewash.

…were you not listening to the name calling by the Dems the past eight years?

It doesn’t make it right, it just points out that you should base your allegiance on issues not the name calling no matter which end of the spectrum you’re on.

I agree a complete change in the senate and house is needed and voting is key but somehow more folks need to be concerned enough to check things out. It is far too easy to sit back and believe the promises some smooth talking media personality spews out, than check the facts and the history. Many just want to believe that the reason their plight is there is because they are victims of republicans, capitolists, conservatives, or whoever the current target is and that this wrong will be righted.

The Jewish people were Hitlers target. The Tea Parties will bring together many folks of different social disciplines with a common concern.

The other night I watched an old movie called Mr Smith goes to Washington, and it showed the corruption in the Senate, and how the newspapers and media were controlled by certain boss leaders in the Senate. Mr. Smith trying to do good for the children and people of his district could not get the word out, that is what is happening today. Unless you watch Fox News, you have no idea what is going on in Washington. Something has got to be done. I don’t have the answer, but I am praying that someone will. I am tired of a President who goes abroad and apologizes for the greatest country in the world, a President who on this trip to the Arab country is apologizing for how we treated the people who killed 3000 Americans on 9/11. Have they apologized for the heads that they chopped off of our Americans over there? No! I am tired of a President who is unaware that he attended a church with a racist preacher for 20 yrs. He was unaware that the man he nominated for Sec of Commerce was under investigation in a bribery scandal. He was unaware that the man he nominated for Sec of Health and Human Services was a tax cheat. Also unaware that his aunt was living in the US illegally, and that his brother lives on pennies a day in a hut in Kenya.
People who are in comas are more aware than our President seems to be.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t sleep comfortably at night knowing this man is in charge of my country. Do you recall during the campaign when he stated that he had visited 57 or 58 states, even an elementary school child should be able to tell you how many states there are in the U.S. We need help America, we can pray, but according to our President, we are no longer a Christian nation, why should God listen or answer our prayers?

Good for YOU Beverley, this country is going down hill fast and OBAMA is EMBARRASSING. Bowing to MUSLIMS ! He is a DISGRACE to AMERICA

please tell me how to find Tea Parties in ohio PLEASE?

It seems that we the people get the sh-t end of the stick everytime because we think we have to work and don’t have time to stand up and be counted. Think about it . We spend our time working while people like Obamas group, Acorn take to the streets and get well paid for marching. I guess it does get them to do something though. We are going to have to take time off to get our country back. It’s not just taxes, we have lost our country. Nov. 4th. 2008 was not an election it was a coup. Iraq had a much more honest election than America had this year. We must march on Washington every day. They must see us out there in front of their face, because they’re trying to dismiss us. They wil,l if we let them. We’re going to have to sacrifice to become America again, otherwise our children and their children will never have America. That’s the choice we must make now.

I agree. I grew up in a wonderful country, am now 72, and don’t recognize it anymore. Unfortunately because of health issues I cannot participate in tea parties. However, they have my full support. From all reports, the ones already held were peaceful and that is a big plus for us. It’s not just taxes taking their toll on us but our loss of freedoms and becoming a welfare country. Entitlements are a bunch of crap. If people are given everything they respect nothing. Earning a living, an education, other people’s respect gives us a right to self respect. Too many of us have lost our morals, our consideration of others, our love of country and respect for beliefs different from our own. Groups like Acorn promote corruption. Clean them up or shut them down. All of us need to do what is best for the country. We need to stand up and proudly proclaim “We are Americans” and not apologize for being so. Mr. Obama shames us when he apologizes for us. We, in the past, have done more to help other countries than any other has ever done.
For the first time in my adult life, I’m ashamed of what my country is becoming. We need politicians who work for the people and not themselves. Liars and cheats should be voted out of office, regardless of party. Let’s take back our country. Write your Senators and Congressman, tell them how you feel and what you want them to do. If enough of us do this, it might sway them to do what we want. It can’t hurt and might help.
God Bless us all and God Bless America.

Obama is an illegal President.He is not a natural born citizen of the United states.Obama was born 8000 miles from the United States.Obama was born in Mogadesha Kenya.His grandmother in Kenya says that she attended his birth.Obama is a muslim his spokes person Gibbs has said he was but not a practising one.A muslim is a muslim thats the reason Obama is going over to speek to them telling them that we are not against them.It also has said that Obama is the Anti Christ and if elected president he will do great harm to our country.BE PREPARED.Obama was a senator up in washington just three years of his term and has said with his great big mouth that he never got into wqshington but he knew it needed a change.Now how would he know that if he never got into washington.What was he doing those three years sleeping.Obama is not a natural born citizen of the united states and will do great harm to our country.obama was born in mogadesha kenya.and his grrandmother in kenya has said that she attended his birth.His mother died and his father took him to Indoneshia where he left him to be adopted.That was the reason obama wrote the book Dreams Of My Father.I say he shold be IMPEACHED.Obama talked of change,have you seen any change yet.Its the same old same old.Obama has no brains to run this country.He got elected because all the Racist blackl and the mexicans voted for him.IMPEACH HIM NOW.

I don’t know where you got all your misinformation, his mother did not die, he is a natural born citizen of the US, some even filed lawsuits concerning this but have had them dismissed for lack of evidence, despite this you still persist in spreading these lies. His birth certificate is file in the vital records in the state of Hawaii. I find people like you who spew out this misinformation despicable.

HE IS A MUSLIME AND A MUSLIM LOVER

We all need to be concerned and, we need to stand up and be counted and work hard to get rid of the entire current crop of the Washington crowd. They are so locked into the life style of a politician, they have no idea who we are, and what we need. The “professional political perk package” just keeps getting larger, and we pay for all of it. We need to prepare for 2012 and the future by locating and voting in some honest, talented (non lawyers) with some common sense. America has turned into a system for the politicians not for the people, let’s team up and change this, ok? Don’t give up, speak up, and we can vote Obama and all of his cronies out of office. Realize he is on a mission to be a king of the world not just the president. Nothing about him or his background or supposed accomplishments rings true. On top of it all, team him up with pelosi, reid and the rest of the Democrats who are working triple time to feather their own nests, not ours. Do not be fooled by all of their fancy talk, speechs etc. it is all designed to keep them in office and to fund their rich life style with our money, with out our permission.

Do you even know what Memorial Day Is celebrated for? My gosh, think before speaking please! That would be a huge dishonor, and disgrace to tarnish that day with that!
I completely agree with you, about needing more parties. But that would just be wrong to do on that day!
Please remember- When GOOD people do nothing, Bad things happen!

Do I know what Memorial Day is. . . DO YOU? I can’t think of a better day to do this. What a better way to say Thank you to our fathers and grandfathers, sons and daughters that have lost their life fighting for our right to stand up and speak. FREEDOM. They fought for our right. They fought for our right to be free and we should fight to stay free on Memorial Day or any other day! Did the soliders fighting in Iraq and Afgahanistan get Memorial Day off or did they FIGHT? They fought sir.

Fight for your Freedom.

Agreed that Memorial would have been the wrong day to hold Tea Parties. On the other hand, Independence Day would be very fitting and appropriate for the next big Tea Party. I attended the 4-15 Tea party and will recruit all that I can to attend the July 4th Tea Party. I will sacrifice any festivities to let my opinion be known. I would rather be picnicking or camping but some things are more important than recreation.

Everyday can and must be a tea party! May we honor those that died fighting for freedom by fighting ourselves. This is about way more than taxes!! Soon dissent will be outlawed, and so will you and your family. You will be sent for re-education on how to be a good communist serf in the FEMA camp. Those too old or too outspoken will be gassed and incinerated.

Great! I’ll support one in my area!

You people are sick, having one of your so called tea parties on memorial day is just disrespectful. I intend to honor my fallen military family members in a more dignified way. Maybe putting some flowers on a vets grave would be more appropriate. Don’t you realize how anti-american these tea parties are, what a disgrace you are to our country!!!! Shame on you.

How is in anti-American when WE THE PEOPLE are exercising our constitutional right to peacefully assemble Going to a TEA Party on Memorial Day will honor America’s fallen Soldiers, Sailors and Marines. Because WE THE PEOPLE don’t want to pay millions of dollars for a study of pig sh_ _. We do want our Military to be ready/able to protect our Freedoms. I think all the PORK in the so called stimulus package stinks! So after making all his buddies happy he cut’s the budget of the Military. How does that honor anyone?

Memorial Day is the perfect day. These men and women fought and died for our freedoms and liberty! The government as it has headed toward has taken our National Defense and Pentagon dollars have been stripped away and given to social programs that wouldn’t even begin to back our Country if the need were to arise. I am very proud of the job our young Americans are doing!

strong textHEY I SAY THATS A GOOD IDEA.AND I AM A VET.WHAT A DAY AND A GREAT WAY TO HONOR A VET.THANK YOU AND PROUD OF YOUR IDEA AND YOU.

When your standing in the soup you have no one to blame but yourself. Grow up and get some common sense. That vet’s grave your putting flowers on died for your freedom. But I doulbt if you will take a stand for that deceased vet by continuing his legacy – no, you would rather stand in a soup line.

Anti-American? Really? Have you ever even looked at the Constitution of the United States? What is “anti-American”, is to sit back and do nothing when your government no longer represents you. It is at the very core of being an American to stand up and protest, peacefully, when your government behaves in a manner that you don’t approve. Was it “anti-American” to protest the Vietnam war? No, what was anti-American was the way we treated the soldiers when they returned from the war.

Just because a protest doesn’t align with your point of view doesn’t mean it is “anti-American”. We do not propose an overthrow of the government, civil unrest, or violence to obtain our goals. That would be anti-American. What we propose is that the government represent us, and uphold the Constitution of the United States.

We are here to remind them that we still exist, that the entire Nation does not approve of the current course of action, and that we are well-aware of the coming cost of their actions. Don’t preach to us about how we just got a tax cut equally roughly less than $20 a week when we know good and well that the coming increase in taxes (necessary to pay for all of this spending) will prohibit nearly every American from being able to pursue their life, liberty, and happiness without an overwhelming tax burden holding us back.

Go back and read the US Constitution, understand that there was 5,000 years of history studied in creating that document, and that it was meant to stand the test of time, not just an ideology of a “good start”. If we were to run our Nation according to that document, we would not be in the position we are in, we would still be a Nation to be admired, respected, and envied.

This progressive movement that started after the turn of the last century has slowly eroded our sovereignty, and we are so very close to seeing it dissolve away that we simply cannot sit back and wait for the next election cycle and hope that the citizenry wakes up to the realization that their very freedom is at risk. We must stand up now, we must make our voices heard, and we must take back our Nation!

strong textYou’re the one that is sick. Having a Tea Party honors the death of these brave soldiers by upholding what they fought for (our freedom). We are rapidly losing this country to socialism. Of course the younger set doesn’t understand this because they were dumbed down in our government run school system.

I disagree with you. There is no better way to remember to fallen than to fight back for the freedom that they lost their lives for!

That is patriotic not disrespectful.

Honoring those fallen is what a tea party will do best. They did not serve, sacrifice or die so that this country could become a socialist state. Perhaps that is what fits you, if so I invite you to move there are several to choose from. Just leave this country that so many fought and died for as she was meant to be, Free.

Is asking our so-called leaders to follow the constitution and not tax us to death anti-American these days?

What better way to repay our men and women who have lost their lives for us than to hope to regain what they fought for.

Hi MeMe I just want to tell you My family is a Miltary family my Father was in the Airforce. For you to say the Tea Party is wrong for people to do well You are wrong on this. Tea Party is great to have This country is going down hill fast thanks to the Democrats and Mrs Nancy house speaker.

So I think it is good to have another Tea Party you should go to one soon. I love the tea Party and I hate Big government and speading lots of our earn money so people can live off on us for free is wrong. Welfair is worng they should get off from there Big Butt and get a Job like the rest of us.

So do not run off the cuff when you say the Tea Partys are sick they are not we are just tired of our Government getting in the way of our freedom we are lossing our freedom right now thanks to Obama and the rest of the Democrats.

Thank you for your time,
Monteleone

supporting that idiot in the White House and his “gang” is unAmerican and brainless. The Tea Parties are trying to help uninformed people like you too, not that you deserve it.

you are a blue taker!
quit kidding yourself

It is not anti-American to express your opinion about anything, it is Un-American to suppress opinion.

I’M SURE HITLER SAID SOMETHING SIMULAR ABOUT THE FOLKS WHO PROTESTED THE NAZI PARTY!

The brave men and women that died for democracy, freedom, and the right to protest an oppressive government would loudly disagree with you, if they only could. What better way to honor their sacrifice but to protest those liberties behind taken away from us. Unfortunately this also gives you the right to make that stupid statement. I would fight to death for right to make stupid statements. Congess is now considering a bill to make it illegal for you to make your remarks on the internet, so enjoy it while you can.

the only way to change the gov as it it is to vote EVERY incumbant out the next election democrat and republican alike there is No difference between the two parties they are there for there own agenda vote the ba—-ds 0ut i think it will take a lot more than just a little gathering (tea party) here and there to get the message across when long time incumbents lose there jobs they will start to get the point. i also think any one who has served in gov should be prevented from being a lobbyist actually lobbing congress should be prevented altogether

Amen to voting out everyone on office . Some of them have been there tooooooo long.We need new people .Clean house.

If Bush was an SOB when he did it then why isn’t true when the Democratic administration and Congress does it. It seems to me it’s wrong no matter who’s doing it. If we have to live within our means…so does our government.

The debt will bankrupt us all.

the only way to change the gov as it it is to vote EVERY incumbant out the next election democrat and republican alike there is No difference between the two parties they are there for there own agenda vote the ba—-ds 0ut

This is what amazes me, everyone likes to bash Bush and say how out of control his spending was, yet they never bother to do the math… Let’s take the “$1 Billion/week” war statement, shall we? Have you added that up? If Bush spent that much for every week of his administration, for both terms, that would come out to $416 Billion. The current spending of this administration, not even 100 days old yet, is already projected at over $12 TRILLION over the next 10 years. And that’s with $0 in additional spending.

This is what we’re protesting. Did the Republican Congress spend recklessly? Absolutely, why do you think they lost both the House and the Senate? Are you actually saying that Democrats were the only ones who voted them out of office? No, we spoke up with our vote, we put the Democrats back in control, with promises to reign in the “out of control spending”, return ethics to our government, and represent the people. I don’t know about you, but I’d say they’ve done a lousy job. And apparently the majority of America agrees, as the current Congress has the WORST approval rating in history.

People just don’t know what to do anymore. Neither party seems to be representing them anymore, and many have just thrown up their hands and given up. Not us. We’re here to tell our government that we still believe in our Country, and we’re not going to sit back and take this lying down. And we’re Democrats and Independents as well as Republicans. Don’t believe the media’s lies that this is just a bunch of disgruntled Republicans. We the people voted for CHANGE, not exponentially more of the same.

Might be wrong, time well tell. I believe dems and republicans are all in bed
together and they get a kick out of listening and watching us mean ole republicans and dems at each others throats. If it wasn’t so, the republicans
were in power once a upon a time. If, they would have done their job, suitable
to the American people, we wouldn’t be having the conversation about tea-parties and that tax and spend crazed, Obama. To further my point, neither
dems or REPUBLICANS have never done nothing to amount to nothing about the illegal alien problem, that has helped bankrupt California.
It’s just a matter of time, and we’ll get blasted again, big time. Maybe, that
will unite us again, for a short period of time.

It sounds like you are the one who needs to get God with the terrible language you use. Also, Bush did slip on some of the spending, BUT he saved us from further attacks AND he didn’t try to ram in socialized medicine which will prevent me from getting any care or medication since I am old and as they say, “going to die soon anyway!” nor did he try to take away the BIll of Rights as BHO is gearing up to do ! He like J. Wright and Bill Ayres is an America HATER!

Exactly So!

Bush did not save us from anything. He and the republicans you worship rapped our Military and our country and Iraq. They also Helped the OPEC rape the economy in America and the rest of the world.What a wonderful little devil he was. The republicans are so evil, that even the devil would not let them in, when they die.
I wonder what you thought would happen with $4.00 gasoline and a $1 billion per week war ?No you people are not Patriots you are fools that are listening to the right wing terror groups.You are nobodies friend.

Boy are you ever paranoid! It appears to me it is you who is the hater. Can you be sure that we were not attacked because nobody including Bin Laden even tried to that and it had nothing to do with Bush actions. I so not know how old you are but I am on Medicare coupled with a medigap supplement plan and it is the best plan I have had since the mid seventies when HMO and later managed care plans started taking over much of our medical needs and limited greatly your choices and I knew many who had to wait up five months for surgery one living on pain pills and crutches for five months until the HMO had an opening due to not hiring enough surgeons to cover their patient load and would not pay for a surgeon out of their network to do it and they also added co-pays and limited some coverages. Since going on Medicare I have had no co-pays, deductibles, out of pocket maximums and can choose my own doctors, go to any hospital or clinic including Mayo and Cleveland Clinics if I like and no networks and have not paid one dime past my premiums which total a little less than $300.00 per month including Medicare B premium that the government takes out of my social security check each month, I have been in the hospital twice and receive medical attention on a ongoing basis with no extra cost to me. The best coverage I have had since about 1975 and have been on Medicare for four years now. You hear about these scares but I know many on Medicare and all I know are real happy with it. So why are you making up these stories about medical for seniors, no one including Obama has suggested changing Medicare except for the Bush’s advantage plans which Buch signed into law in 2003 and then only in paying for these medical services the same as they pay for original Medicare. Bush’s advantage plans have increased the cost of Medicare in these plans 13% on average over the regular Medicare for the government with less coverages and legal protections on most of these plans for the individual Obama plans to reduce the payments to the advantage plans to be the same as all other Medicare benefit payments thus saving the government 13%. Clearly you do not understand what is going on with medical reforms which will benefit all of us with lesser costs and better coverages but I guess your hatred of Obama and congress blinds you to these facts and I realize there are many who do not want to see costs cut as it will cut into profits of the third party payers mostly insurance companies. But as few can afford to pay total medical premiums on their own do you think it right to put an individual’s medical needs as a lesser importance than corporate profits of these insurance companies. Seems to me this train of thought makes it OK for some to make mega bucks on the suffering of others and therefore I am in favor of the changes Obama proposes and are needed, my fear is he will not go far enough or a timid congress not will to stand up to the lobbyists who’s only interest is their pocket books and care nothing about the health of the nations citizens. Further, for your information the President (any president) plays no role in changing the constitution and even if he wanted he could not take away the “Bill of Rights” to do that 2/3 vote by the the congress and then 75% of the states concurring can do this or by 2/3 of the states voting to convene a constitution congress which has never been done. Again you have no clue as to what you are talking about and how incorrect your allegations are. I’ll leave it to you as to weather you need God and if you learn you do Please do so.

Stanley it wasn’t Bush’s policies that started this mess, it was Clinton’s. Bush just never did anything to fix it.

Duh,What is it you do believe in?

What I believe in is that the American people have been duped by every administration since JFK. Whilst on the surface there is differences between the party’s, in reality there is little. It’s just a self serving game to entertain and divide the masses. If the people of the U.S.A. really want change they have to see reality for what it is and wipe the slate clean. You may ask for god’s help but only the strength of conviction of the PEOPLE can bring about the change that is needed.

Actually it started in the Carter Administration, Clinton just expanded it.

Paul

I believe it was Bush that started the Iraq war and it had nothing to do with Clinton, at the outset it was his way to fix it, missed the whole target didn’t He.

Smilee I am not talking about Iraq. I am addressing the issue in this post. It was Clinton that instructed Fannie May and Freddie Mac to extend loans to people that normally would never satisfy the standard requirements. This action contributed greatly to the meltdown.

Reply to Smilee:

What in the world makes you think that Obama’s plan is going to be better than the HMO’s?

Please, Bush was a President, not a ruler!!!! Where have you been, printing money and promising money to other Countries does not alert you, when, we in America are in trouble. I hope you are happy sitting in your chair and saying what you said. As you find that chair GONE, because we are no longer allowed that type of chair or perhaps another Country needs that chair, same with your money, we do not have it and yet they are getting our dollars. Hello

Stanley

You’re welcome to attend any Tea Party. In fact, you might learn something worthwhile – you might learn about hard work, how industrious Americans made this country great, responsibility, self-worth, civics, liberty, freedom, and the constitutional right of people to protest the activities of our government.

Get over yourself. As your hero, the Great Mountebank of the White House, reminds us with great regularity – He won. So, he won, let’s get on with the business at hand and quit bashing George Bush for the unacceptable socialist of the Apologist-in-Chief currently at 1600 Pennsylvania Av.

Wrong again. Clinton had little to do with this mess.
You and the republicans own It.It was planned and it is doing the job it was planned for.Wrecking the economy so the congress can repeal SSI, Veterans benifits, medaide,and Medicare.So all you can do now is set back and watch it finish.

suddencall you need to stop thinking along party lines. Both sides have contributed to the mess the U.S. is in. Take your blinkers off and see the real picture. Policy is in the main not constructed by a particular party but those that are higher up and instruct government via financial powers and others as to what actual policies will be implemented.

do you really believe all your name calling will accomplish anythin positive???

Stanley,
I understand your reaction but you as well as others have missed the point entirely. It not about Bush or Obama, Democrat or Republican. Its about
a run away government, Democrats & Republicans who have refused to listen
to their employers. You have 300,000 American taxpayers come out and protest on a work day and what do you get in return but Nancy Pelosi who says that “we are nothing but Astroturf”. Its time to clean house and elect representatives who will listen to what their taxpayers or tell them and to stop running their own agendas. That goes for both parties.
Since I did attend one of the many tea parties, trust me when I tell you that there were Republican, Conservatives, Democrats, Independents, Moms & Dads, Senior citizens, union and nonunion workers, low income, middle income, blue collar, white collar, white, black, hispanic, native American,
Japanese, Chinese, middle eastern and we’re firmly united in our message. We are sick and tired of paying taxes to bail out banks, and corporations who have wasted their money. That the tit they have been sucking on is dry and
and Americans are NOT going to put up with it anymore. They either need to change their political ideologies or we are going to change them by throwing
all of them out of office and elect people who can work together to solve the problems this country is facing.
I hope you can understand that this is a grassroots effort being since a majority of those I met have never been to a protest before in their lives and that includes me.

thank you i totally agree the only way to change is to get rid of all of them

Amen. I was at the Chicago tax day party and it was my first. Like you said, every race and religion, political party, etc. The best thing to do is impeach them all, downsize(majorly) government and get back to what our founding fathers wanted for us.

Boy oh Boy have they got you fooled. The organizers of this movment have none of your beliefs .None.They are using you just like they have been doing the last forty years.Lying to you and patting you on the back while they are wrecking your republic so they can reorganize it in to a third world country with Corporate rule.Look for the company store to return .

And just who do you think the organizers are? Furthermore, where is any proof of this crazy conspiracy theory? I don’t know about you, but the TEA party here in Orlando, FL (over 4,000 in attendance) was organized by everyday citizens. This is not about party, but about out-of-control government. Period.

strong textYou are right. This government has gone berserk and we must impose TERM LIMITS. The only way is to come out of this is a total cleansing.

You couldn’t be more correct!

John

Did you only get 300,000 people out, I was of the understanding this was a big thing. You are never going to succeed with such small support and so few that care about your cause.

POWER to you John !!

Stanley thank you for your comment! This spending taking place is necessary now. It’s not the President is spending money foolness, he is taking the advise of of nations most respected enonomists. It doesn’t matter who caused the current sitaution, but it will take all of us to get the nation out of it.

Republican,
Do you actually believe that?
Please do me a favor and name a couple of them because most of the economists that I have listened to are not saying that. The only thing that
will happen is that when you print more money inflation becomes a serious threat because the value of the dollar drops and price for goods and services increase while your ability to pay for them decreases. That is exactly what happened during the Carter administration. Who are the experts advising Obama? Its the Federal Reserve who basically caused the problem to begin with along with Congress and all of these so called experts that advised these companies to to buy sub-prime mortgages. If you let them chapter 11, these companies would reorganize, shareholders would change the Board of Directors and the company would eventually recover all on their own without spending a dime of taxpayer money. And employment would only affect those that worked for these companies and not the entire economy.
Think about it and do your own homework and quit listening to the so called experts. They probably lost more money than you did. The quickest way for them to recoup their losses is to have you pay for it.

If you are a “republican”, it’s in name only-and the reason the GOP lost it’s way…and a majority. You’re certainly no conservative. The disagreements in our bi-polar nation now are really between those who want all government with little to no personal responsibility and those who want the least government with the most personal responsibility. I want the government to do the job as defined in the Constitution, not as wished for by Obama/Reid/Pelosi. If redistribution of wealth really is such a good thing, then why are democrats the LEAST generous when giving to charities? Why haven’t Soros, et al given VOLUNTARILY of their wealth to those in greater need? It’s because it isn’t about helping anyone but themselves. They are after power. Poverty levels were declining after the welfare reform Clinton signed (in a veto proof bill), but the Malevolent Muskateers (Obmam/Reid/Pelosi) reversed it. Obama admitted to “Joe the Plumber” that he knew lowering taxes brought in more tax revenue. He KNEW it! But he said he didn’t care; he wanted “income redistribution” anyway. He KNOWS that the GAO’s report said that doing nothing would create more jobs than the so-called stimulus plan, yet he pushed it through anyway. It’s all about power, not doing what’s in the best interests of the country and its citizens. And never doubt that the power of the government is dervied directly from the people-the more power the government has, the less freedom and power the citizens have.

That’s the core behind the tea parties-government run amok; Government stampeding over the citizens, spending money we don’t have on things we don’t need…and printing fiat money which will cause inflation on top of our other problems.

Obama didn’t start it, but he’s given it a head of steam. We the people have finally reached a near boiling point…and on tax day we heard the first, faint whistle of venting.

So all you Stanleys out there (and pretender “republicans”), are you ready to stop taking dictation on the day’s talking points and start thinking for yourselves? Are you ready to give up on the “Bush bashing”, Clinton bashing, and other childish games? Are you ready to take personal responsibility for your part–through actions or inaction–in getting us into this mess, and do something about getting us out of it?

Are you ready to make term limits a reality by voting out the incumbents?

Well said empty pockets. But I do agree with Kusinich and now Conyers that Bush and many senior members of his administration should be indicted for war crimes and crimes pertaining to breaches of the Constitution, if for no other reason than sending all future presidents a strong message about just how far their individual power extends. Bush stomped on the Constitution.

The reason the Republicans lost elections is not due to republicans in name only as you call them but you conservatives that many republicans have gotten sick of and would no longer support and if you keep insisting on this conservative purity and feel you do not need them or classify them as democrats even though they say other wise you will continue to lose elections seeing as only about 21 or 22 percent support you now albeit many die hard republicans will still continue to vote your way but not enough of them and most independents will not and you will continue to lose and all the tea parties in the world will not change this, so dream on but don’t cry in you milk if the democrats remain in power and Barack gets reelected in 10 and 12. Your denial may be the death of your movement yet, you no longer fool most voters.

To Stanley…

Why didnt WE ‘SOB’S’ protest Bush? What about YOU? I assume YOU were the MOST disgruntled party, were YOU not?
WHERE WERE YOU DURING BUSH’S BS?…whimpering and whining with your friends sipping latte’s at Starbucks?

Many do wonder where these protesters were during the Bush era and the answer is kind of simple really.

We have always been around and voicing our opinions. However, the mainstream media was more successful in stilling our voices. The biggest change today though, are that our ranks have been swollen by all those who got sold a bill of goods last year and took Obama at his word. Their disappointment is an even stronger motivation than our disgust with a government that has been broken for decades. Further, no matter how much the left leaning folks want to abuse the messengers, the message is going to come across loud, clear, and with a gusto that no one will be able to deny.

The other change, is that people are finally starting to wake up to the fact that Congress, dominated by the Democrats for eons, writes the law, and President’s only administer those law. For too long our media outlets have focused the ills of this country on one person when many more share in the poor job being done by Washington D.C.

Since Obama did not deliver on his promises and appears hell bent on breaking this country apart, it is up to ‘We the People’ to stand up, stand firm, and let our public servants understand who pays the bills and who is truly in charge. If it takes tossing every last one of them from office, tehn so be it.

300,000 is “we the People” I think not!

YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE.BUSH IS GONE NOW WE HAVE A BABY KILLER FOR PRES.

Abortion is murder anyway you look at it. There are so many ways to prevent pregnancy, there is no reason to get pregnant if you don’t want to.

Tea Parties on Memorial Day:
I went to one of the Tulsa, OK teaparties and couldn’t believe the reports afterword. The last time I’ve seen a group of people so patriotic was in the aftermath of 911. To hear the mainstream media report on them was shameful. I don’t think they could have said any of this to our faces (except that nutcase from CNN). The older generation would have put them in their places. Their parents must be so ashamed of them.

Anway, the plans are to have the next tea party on INDEPENDENCE DAY! I don’t know why they didn’t pick Memorial Day, but I think they need organization time. Check out the details at http://www.teaparty.com

God Bless America and save us from the Liberal minority.

they would have no choice but to notice if the gathering were large enough and the location was right like WA.DC shut the whole city down with people protesting or something but they would just call in the police the Nat. guard etc
say it was an illegal protest but it would get the attention it needs

They can’t call in the National Guard, cause most of them are in Afghanistan. The police and Obama’s brown shirts are a bunch of punks that wouldn’t know what to do if several hundred thousand AMERICANS descended on them.

I think they’re planning one in D.C. in the fall.

they had the nerve to call our peaceful protesters “domestic terrorists.” But they applaud the efforts of the civil-unrest, maletov-cocktail-throwing, looting, disturbing the peace behavior of the enviromaniacs that protest at summits around the globe.
