On behalf of Tea Party, Patriot groups, 9/12, liberty activists, and the American people, we are calling for anyone and everyone to protest the IRS’ complete abuse of power on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at noon local time.
Tea Party leader, Jenny Beth Martin spoke at a press conference about the IRS scandal. Senator Rand Paul, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rep. Louie Gohmert, Sen. Ted Cruz, and other Tea Party leaders speak out regarding IRS Intimidation.
Here’s Ted Cruz’s speech:
Catherine Engelbrecht Discusses IRS Targeting on Huckabee:
How is it possible that the Majority Leader of the Senate in the United States of America sounds like such a blithering idiot? How in God’s name did this man get elected? How do the people of Nevada not notice his glaringly obvious stupidity?
We have a situation where this country has been driven by the Tea Party for the last number of years. When I was in school, I studied government and I learned about the anarchists. Now, they were different than the Tea Party because they were violent. But they were anarchists because they did not believe in government in any level and they acknowledged it. The Tea Party kind of hides that.
They don’t say they’re against government, but that is what it all amounts to. They’re not doing physically destructive things to buildings and people, directly, but they are doing everything they can to throw a monkey-wrench into every form of government, whether it’s local, state or federal. That’s what it’s all about. And so, anything they can do to through a monkey-wrench in the wheels of government, they’re happy doing that. And I’m sorry to say that my friend from Oklahoma is helping them. Maybe not directly, but indirectly, and that’s wrong. Government is not inherently bad; government is inherently good. That’s why we have a Constitution and that’s what we direct the activities of this government based upon. (Senate Floor, April 23, 2013)
Rusty Humphries: Do you think the Tea Party are anarchists? That we don’t want any government at all?
Harry Reid: “My experience with the Tea Party is they are against government in any form. They throw monkey wrenches in government. It’s evident, we can’t get things done. They don’t want anything to happen in government.”
It wasn’t too long ago that Dingy was invoking the violent and anarchist-driven Occupy movement on the Senate floor to attack Republicans, whom he charged only cared about “the 1%”.
“In recent days, Republicans showed new interest in the gulf between rich and poor that has motivated thousands to occupy parks across the country and make their voices heard. Apparently they believe the staggering income inequality makes a good talking point,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “While Democrats fight for jobs for the middle class, Republicans fight for tax breaks for the 1 percent of Americans who don’t need our help.”
Shhhh….don’t anyone tell Dingy that Anarchist organizer Lisa Fithianis one of the top organizers of his darling Occupy movement, and that Tea Party and Occupy couldn’t be any more different from each other. It’s obviously too nuanced a concept for his tiny pea sized brain to grasp that the tea party’s support for good government and limited government is not the same thing as supporting NO government. Or maybe he does know the difference but he is just cynically (albeit awkwardly and stupidly) demonizing the tea party because he feels the need to push the Regime’s “right wing extremist” narrative.
Whatever. Just shut up Harry. Let the smarter commies do the talking.
Due to a busy Saturday schedule, I wasn’t able to make it to the Day of Resistance rally in Joplin Mo, today, but I did have a chance to speak to the organizer, Jesse Mills, of the Southwest Missouri Firearms Freedom Coalition. He told me he was pleased with the turn out, estimating a crowd of 200-250 people.
This Saturday, February 23, a Day of Resistance has been planned for Americans to protest the government’s incessant assaults on our liberties. You can find the nearest rally on the official list, orsign up to get more information.
Matthew Boyle of Big Governmentrecently talked to the organizer, Dustin Stockton:
Conservatives and Tea Partiers plan to reignite the flame of 2010 next Saturday at rallies in cities and towns across America. The event is titled the “Day of Resistance,” and head organizer Dustin Stockton told Breitbart News that February 23 was picked as the date for several reasons.
“The first is one which I’ve been getting ruthlessly abused for and that is because the AR-15 caliber is .223,” Stockton said in a phone interview. “It’s also the day that we raised the flag in Iwo Jima and it’s also a Saturday, so people who work regular hours can also attend.”
Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and all other elite politicians trying to marginalize the law-abiding, average American must never forget that they work for us.
This video highlights the relationship between socialism, tyranny, the right to keep and bear arms and American freedom from 1776 until today.
Can any glib politician, pundit or ivory tower academic give us an ironclad guarantee that tyranny will never arise in the United States? Not even a popular tyranny, like those of Ataturk, Stalin, Hitler or Mao? Can anyone assure us that today’s “commonsense” gun registration lists will not be used for future gun confiscation? Of course not.
The future may be unknowable, but history is well understood, and American gun owners know and understand the history of democide in the 20th century. That is why they will never accede to what is currently portrayed in the predominantly left-wing mainstream media as “commonsense and reasonable” new gun control laws.
While American gun owners lament and regret the inescapable fact that deranged individuals in a free country may on rare occasions murder a dozen or a score of unarmed victims, they also understand that government democide murders by the million. And in every case, tyrants can conduct these democides only after disarming their unwanted minorities, rendering them helpless to resist murderous government pogroms.
American gun owners will never permit this historical pattern to be repeated in their country, because they understand that the government’s heavy hand will be kept in check only as long as they are armed. Ask yourself: Were the Armenians, the Jews or the kulaks treated better, or worse, after they were disarmed and rendered helpless by their oppressors, who thereafter held an absolute government monopoly on armed violence? The answer is too obvious to require elaboration.
Naive utopians and other “low-information voters” might not understand the historical pattern, and we don’t expect them to bother to learn it. Cynical and dishonest “progressives” who do understand the historical pattern cannot yet reveal their ultimate goal of creating a disarmed and helpless American citizenry. Nevertheless, millions of Americans understand their hidden aim with crystal clarity, seeing through the false sincerity of power-hungry leftist politicians who are actually Marxist wolves dressed in Democrat sheep’s clothing—for now.
But unless and until these secret Stalinists and sundry other “progressives” can figure out a way to disarm Americans, they cannot execute their historically standard final solution to the “reactionaries-standing-in-the-way-of-utopia” problem. And this is a thorny problem for them, because tens of millions of Americans, disbelieving their deceitful bromides, will stick to their guns no matter what.
What if I told you police in your town could desensitize themselves to the idea of shooting a (armed) child, pregnant woman, or young mother, for just a couple of bucks? The “No More Hesitation” series from Law Enforcement Targets Inc. offers exactly that. For less than 99 cents per target, police can shoot at real-life images “designed to give officers the experience of dealing with deadly force shooting scenarios with subjects that are not the norm during training.”
The “subjects” look like they’re in their own homes defending themselves from some kind of police assault….
If they were created at the request of a government agency, then legislators responsible for oversight of the agencies in question and the applicable inspector general should hold public hearings to discover why they were created.
Via Moonbattery, chilling reminder of how very little respect for life this president has.
This anti-gun-control ad was rejected by the Clear Channel. (I can’t imagine why):
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) released the following statement responding to the President’s State of the Union address:
The President had an opportunity to reach across the aisle and propose policies to produce economic growth. Unfortunately, he chose instead to embrace unabashed liberalism.
President Obama only knows how to grow government, not the economy.
Under President Obama, the economy is entering its fifth year of substandard annual growth – 0.8% on average — compared to an average of 3.3% for the last 70 years.
If the President’s big-government policies were enacted, they would make it harder for the 23 million people out of work to find a job, harder for young people coming out of school to find their first job, and harder for Hispanics and African Americans struggling to achieve the American dream.
There is potential for real bipartisan cooperation in Congress to get the economy growing and help people get back to work, but expanding government spending, debt, taxes, and control of the economy will only make the problem worse.
During the party line vote in Committee that sent the Chuck Hagel nomination to the floor Ted Cruz did the unthinkable. He said aloud something everyone knew was absolutely true for the record:
Chuck Hagel is endorsed by Iran. Here is the clip from Cruz’s speech on the subject.
The reaction to Cruz’s words was incredible. It was called unfair, it was said we shouldn’t judge Hagel by those who endorse him, and Ted Cruz was attacked. His words were said to be inflammatory, uncalled for, extreme, improper and defamatory toward a person as honorable as Chuck Hagel.
Morning Joe particularly tore into Ted Cruz, he was portrayed as beyond the pale, as an extremist. He was mocked and derided and the entire Morning Joe table had a lot of things to say about what Ted Cruz had to say about Chuck Hagel.
In all of the words in all the critiques of Ted Cruz by the left in general and MSNBC & Morning Joe in particular there is one word that I noticed was missing from every statement hitting Senator Cruz for his statements on Senator Hagel:
Radio host Mark Levin went so far as to accuse Rove of stabbing conservatives in the back. Rove made it clear he still wants conservative candidates to back, he just wants ones who can actually win races.
Hannity first explained the main goal of Conservative Victory Project: keeping more Todd Akins from becoming nominees for safe seats and ultimately losing general elections. Rove quickly clarified that he is not going to be in the business of defending incumbents, but merely making sure the Republican party nominates candidates who can actually win races. He also defended his previous support of Tea Party candidates in 2010 and 2012.
Hannity brought up the criticism that sometimes the Republican party ends up with establishment Republicans who no one is happy with. Rove insisted he just wants “the most conservative candidate who can win,” not just the incumbent candidate. He insisted that his group would have, for example, backed Marco Rubio in 2010. Hannity explained his main concern is that he doesn’t want anyone within the Republican party doing anything to divide it.
Rove stuck by his message, saying that the Republican party needs to do better than Todd Akin if it wants to retake the Senate.
Rove mentioned the Buckley rule, also cited by Charles Krauthammer earlier Tuesday night on Special report as he reminded the panel of the most prime example he could think of where it should have been applied, the ill-fated Delaware Senate race of 2010:
Tuesday in Delaware was a bad day not only for Republicans but also for conservatives. Tea Partyer Christine O’Donnell scored a stunning victory over establishment Republican Mike Castle. Stunning but pyrrhic. The very people who have most alerted the country to the perils of President Obama’s social democratic agenda may have just made it impossible for Republicans to retake the Senate and definitively stop that agenda.
Bill Buckley — no Mike Castle he — had a rule: Support the most conservative candidate who is electable.
A timeless rule of sober politics, and particularly timely now. This is no ordinary time. And this is no ordinary Democratic administration. It is highly ideological and ambitious. It is determined to use whatever historical window it is granted to change the country structurally, irreversibly. It has already done so with Obamacare and has equally lofty ambitions for energy, education, immigration, taxation, industrial policy and the composition of the Supreme Court.
Ugh, that was in 2010 when there was still hope that we could retake the White House, and turn back the red tide. One Akin and one Mourdock later, it’s hard not to see the wisdom in employing the Buckley Rule.
If Rove is to be believed, and his PAC really is designed to weed out the not ready for prime time candidates – like Akin – then more power to him. We don’t need any more debacles like that Missouri Senate race – which we should have won easily.
For Rove’s part, there are a lot of people telling me to give him and his partners the benefit of the doubt. That this isn’t them declaring war on the grassroots but is simply a group of conservatives trying to figure out the best way to effect change.
If that’s true, then my advice is only compounded. Is their group so horrible at messaging that they couldn’t even roll out this announcement without enraging their base?
The truth is, I’d rather not spend the next 2 years fighting people that are supposed to be on our side. I’d rather spend that time crafting messages that espouse our believes in a way that doesn’t make people grab buckets of tar and bags of feathers.
We should be seeking candidates together, not tearing each other apart. With a skeptical eye, I look forward to seeing how Rove’s group intends on working with the rest of us to win for conservatism. I wish I were more optimistic.
Via RightWingNews, an indication that some patrioticAmericans are not going to take “the transformation of America” from a free and independent society to a failed, collectivist dystopia without a fight.
While Barack Obama is calling for Americans to give up their freedom, their rights, and their guns, we’re calling for Americans to resist. We’re calling on Tea Partiers, moderate Republicans, Libertarians and even moderate Democrats to stand up one month from today, on the 23rd of February and say, “No more!” Right Wing News is joining Dustin Stockton, Western Representation PAC and The Tea Party.net in calling for rallies all across the nation next month on the 23rd. It’ll be a Day of Resistance where gun owners and patriots can peacefully gather and show Barack Obama, the media, and the knockkneed Republicans in Congress that we may have lost a battle last November, but we haven’t lost the war. Don’t meekly give up your 2nd Amendment rights when you can stand with us and RESIST!
PS: Over the next few weeks, look for rallies to be announced, big name conservatives to help spread this idea and Tea Partiers all across the country to step up to the challenge. If you need help getting a rally set up in your local area or would like some help getting speakers, reach out to Dustin Stockton at wrpac@westernpac.org.
In a 40 minute speech before the Illinois Tea Party, political researcher, Trevor Loudon reviewed the radical Marxist influences that have always been present throughout Obama’s life, resulting in a US regime that is more sympathetic to our enemies than our longtime allies.
He ended his speech on a hopeful note – crediting the tea party for preventing Obama from implementing his full Marxist agenda in 2009/2010, and hopefully again this November.
The media should serve as an amplifier, so that if politicians reveal themselves to be totally unsuitable to hold positions of responsibility, it will reach the ears of all reasonably informed citizens. Fortunately for Obama, instead of a responsible media we have an obsequious propaganda corps, the purpose of which is to keep him in power. We wouldn’t be faced with the potential catastrophe of the Moonbat Messiah’s reelection if the media didn’t sweep his most outrageous statements under the rug:
More and more I’m hearing conservatives expressing their expectation that the 2012 election is going to be a watershed event. Americans are fed up with daily outrages coming from our FUBAR President and they are hunkering down until the November election at which time they will be stampeding to the polls to vote him out.
You don’t see this in the corrupt polls that oversample Democrats. You don’t see this in the ObaMedia coverage of the campaigns, which try to paint Romney as an elite, gaffe prone tax cheat. After nearly four years of Obama’s corrupt crony-Socialist/fascist thugocracy, Americans have had it. They will take Romney, warts in all.
The first person I heard express this opinion was Dennis Miller a few weeks ago on the O’Reilly Factor. I can’t find the video, or even a transcript from the show, but I was very intrigued by Miller’s sense of how things were going to go, this November. He said he thought people would be surprised because he was perceiving that something big was brewing in this country. We saw indications of it in Governor Walker’s unexpected blow-out recall victory in Wisconsin, last June, he noted.
“So on August 1st, the Chick-fil-A revolution supporting the right to voice your religious beliefs and August 1st also the beginning of Obamacare mandating that religious institutions violate their religious beliefs by providing birth control and drugs that facilitate abortion against their religious beliefs,” Limbaugh said. “August 1st, what a profound day in history.”
Limbaugh added that it was only a taste of the election response in November.
“There is an explosion waiting to happen in this country. People are fed up, and this is a sign,” he said. “I’ll tell you what’s gonna happen on November 6th. Obama’s gonna get Chick-fil-A’d himself.”
The mainstream media still doesn’t get it. They are too busy trying to make a big issue out of Romney telling the truth about the London Olympics and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It really is hilarious. The lamestream media is truly clueless.
They think Romney’s tax returns are a big issue, while real people just don’t care. As a matter of fact this Vegas oddsmaker will bet real money that far more Americans care about Obama’s mysterious past — including his birth certificate, Social Security number, and sealed college records — than Romney’s tax returns.
Here’s what the clueless biased frauds in the national media are missing: President Obama has alienated patriotic, church-going, middle America. And with every move, he makes it worse. You see Obama doesn’t understand science — for each reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Obama keeps trying to bribe his voters. But the harder he tries…the worse he alienates middle class Americans.
Did the media not notice that Obama demanded Catholic institutions violate their own sacred moral values to provide contraception for women? Well Catholic voters sure noticed. I predict Catholic voters will provide a huge edge for Mitt Romney.
Did the media not notice Obama trying to dismantle work requirements for Americans on welfare? I guarantee you that middle class Americans who work for a living noticed.
Did the media not notice Obama teaming up with the president of Mexico to ask more illegal aliens inside America to apply for food stamps? I guarantee you that middle class Americans who work for a living noticed.
Did the media not notice that Obama gave amnesty to one million young illegal immigrants – adding them to a tight workforce to compete with legal Americans for jobs…in the middle of a Great Depression. I guarantee you that middle class Americans who work for a living noticed.
Did the media not notice that after Obama’s Supreme Court health care victory, several new reports emerged proving the cost of ObamaCare is far higher than advertised by Obama. Or that several companies have announced they will not build new plants because of the cost of Obamacare? I guarantee you that middle class Americans who work for a living noticed.
Most remarkably, is it possible that the media did not notice that Obama created a new government department last week just for African American students? Are you kidding me? An Executive Order to benefit one race of students? Can you even imagine Mitt Romney announcing an Office of White Education? Or how about an Executive Order by Romney to create The Office of Mormon Education? Can you imagine the outcry from the liberal media?
But the mainstream media said nothing about Obama’s new Executive Order. Zero. Zip. Nada. They ignored one of the most blatant acts by any president in modern American history. A game changer. I guarantee you middle class white American parents noticed. The latest Rasmussen poll shows Romney up by 20 points among white voters. Coincidence?
…OK, so now you get that yesterday at a thousand or more Chick-fil-A’s was the start of something fundamental, a catalyst for the pent-up revulsion so many millions feel towards the Scumbag Left. We are seeing something emerge that’s more than the putative issues driving this election – the economy and jobs, as important as those are. We are seeing the emergence of a Cultural Revolution of the Right.
Thus this election of 2012 may be more transformational than we thought. Last June, we discussed Will Romney Be Our FDR? In 1932, FDR effected a basic transformation in the relationship between Americans and their government. Today, 80 years later, that transformation has run its course, it’s broke, obsolete, can’t solve any of today’s problems (indeed, it’s become the cause of our political problems), and is dying.
Thus Romney has the opportunity to effect a political transformation similar to FDR’s in form and opposite in direction – the direction towards the freedom to prosper and Constitutional government.
Yet that is a political and economic transformation, which though hugely important, doesn’t ring folks’ limbic bells. Their culture does, wherein lies their basic values, what gives their lives meaning and a sense of identity. Which is why the Left’s assault on America starting in the 60s was called the Cultural Revolution, as it was not primarily about political or economic power but cultural power, gaining control of America’s cultural institutions.
And it succeeded. The Left has held monopoly power over almost all of America’s central cultural bastions for at least 40 years now – movies, plays, music, art, museums, literature, literary magazines, all of academia from K-12 through college, television, and of course, the propaganda organ of the Left, the BM (Big Media).
It’s time to bust this monopoly. The New Media, from talk radio to conservative websites (like To The Point!) to social networking, has led the way. We are now on the cusp of turning November 2012 into a transformational election politically, economically, and culturally.
Romney, I am becoming more and more convinced, is going to win in a landslide. The latest indication is Ted Cruz’s blowout Tea Party win in Texas on Tuesday (7/31). Zero will be lucky to carry a dozen states. His loss will be a mortal blow to the Left’s cultural dominance.
It will take a long time to complete a conservative “march through the institutions,” but in November 2012 it will begin. In truth, it began yesterday with a million folks eating a chicken sandwich.
Remember, if we crush them in numbers, they can’t steal it.
LibertyStock: Occupy the DNC 2012… There’s never been a better reason to party!
The media has us convinced this year’s election is all about “Right/Left” politics. It’s their surefire way to keep the voting populace in a polarized, do-nothing, disenfranchised state of status-quo.
The message of the original Tea Party Movement has been diluted. The calls for taxation with fair representation (including the wise management of those tax dollars), and a restoration to our Constitutional Republic have been drowned out by extremism from every corner. This has left many asking the question, “When can we get back to the Founder’s passion for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?”
We’re here to tell you the time for reclaiming our united spirit, our passion for liberty, and the American dream is at hand…
A must watch for those of you who may have missed Hannity, last night.
Michelle Malkin was poetry in motion as she shot down Juan Williams’ lame and insipid defenses of the occupy movement. Her righteously indignant outrage was absolutely Breitartian by the end of the segment when Williams tried to draw a parallel between “tea party racism” and occupy mayhem.
“There is no, absolutely no parallel, between the peace-loving, tax-paying, hard working people of the Tea Party Movement and the anarchist, POO-FLINGING, Marxist Monkeys of the #Occupy Movement!”
Hard-working, rule of law-respecting, tax-paying, job-generating Tea Party activists are sick and tired of the smears and false equivalency between their movement and the organized, poo-flinging pawns of Occupy Wall Street.
The Tea Party Express has hosted over 300 rallies across the country since it was founded, and Wednesday morning, May 2, they rolled into Grain Valley Missouri for a patriotic, all American rally.
Mike Holler also gave a very good speech on the Constitution.
Polatik did some rapping:
Tabitha Hale told the assembled crowd about her political journey from apolitical college kid to an activist in the conservative movement. Please excuse that pillar that wanted to block all of the speakers, (especially Tabitha!)
Tea Party Express Chief Strategist Sal Russo said, “This tour’s route focuses on some of the key states for 2012 in either the Presidential or Congressional level. We have already endorsed six candidates for the U.S. Senate, including former State Treasurer Sarah Steelman. Our goal will be rallying activists in support of some of the upcoming primary election battles or for the upcoming general election.
“Each stop aims at engaging voters with candidates and policies that promote pro-growth, free-market solutions to ensure the American Dream can be achieved by anyone. The only way to change this current economic path that is leaving us with a weak recovery, at best, is to change the players and policies that got us here. We started in 2010 and that drive will continue through November of 2012,” Russo concluded.
The Tea Party Express bus driver Ray, rattles the tip jar.
Here’s a portion of Hector Maldonado’s speech:
Stay tuned – more videos on the way.
UPDATE:
Sarah Steelman, one of the frontrunners in the Missouri Senate race, gave a very good speech. In it, she slammed the Senate for its failure to produce a budget, and suggested we cut their salaries until they cough one up.
Today, The Tea Party Express“Restoring the American Dream” bus tour kicks-off in Cranberry Township, PA. It is their 6th national bus tour.
Tea Party Express has hosted over 300 rallies across the country. The organization will be traveling with several speakers and entertainers, including Tea Party Express Chairman Amy Kremer; Our Country Deserves Better PAC Chairman Howard Kaloogian; Mike Holler, author of The Constitution Made Easy; Entertainer Lloyd Marcus who wrote The Tea Party Anthem; Diana Nagy who preformed live during the Tea Party Republican Presidential Debate on CNN; conservative youth rapper Polatik; and comedian Jim Labriola who is famous for his role on the popular TV show “Home Improvement.”
Chief Strategist Sal Russo of Tea Party Express said, “This tour’s route focuses on some of the key states for 2012 on either the Presidential or Congressional level. We have already endorsed five candidates for the U.S. Senate, and we will be making more endorsements while on this tour. Our goal will be rallying activists in support of some of the upcoming primary election battles and the general election.
They are scheduled to make a stop in Kansas City, at 11:30 a.m. on May 2. They’ll be in St. Louis at 6:00 p.m. More information on the tour schedule can be found here.
