   Anybody remember the song “The World is Ghetto”?

   Little did this group called “War” know that they saw the future. Thanks to THE WORLD PRESIDENT OBAMA……..it just may come true!

   No longer a guarantee with this obama admin.

   I wonder how many Americans realize how comparable these Tea Parties are with the original?

   It is less comforting but more realistic to reflect that we don’t live in the world; we live in a particular world; and history records many particular worlds that did indeed come to their ends—sometimes abruptly, more often slowly and insensibly, but always painfully for those who felt themselves to be part of what was being destroyed.

   Michelle, you need to take on some of these so-called conservatives that are whining that these protests are unproductive or give us a bad image. I say it’s about damn time conservatives started taking this course of action, and stopped sitting on their a$$es whining about things while doing nothing to change them. Said a$$es need some serious kicking right about now.

   Hopefully, what has started with these Tea Parties is just the first spark of what will grow into an inferno that will get the message through that we have had ENOUGH!!

   P.S. Thanks for your leadership on this.

   I’d call the protests an impressive beginning. The challenege is to keep the momentum building. The Obama Agenda is filled with the dry, rotting wood of socialism, and the grassfire is just getting started.

   Remember, the anti-Bush movement started with only a few Bush-haters. And look where it ended up.

   The thing I worry about with the tea parties is that the paid commies will try to terrorize these events.

   They have so many people on their payroll. Code Pink, LaRaza, Planned Parenthood, etc……Our tea parties are pure citizenery.

   You know what is incredibly ironic? Right now, as I type this, I am watching “1776″ on TCM.

   While it is a “Hollywood-ized” version of what went on during the arguments both for and against separating from England and committing the largest act of treason in the history of the planet and civilization, I can’t help but see the…I hesitate to call it irony…but for lack f a better term, of what went on then and what has been going on since January 20th of this year.

   It seems that the Liberals of this nation have never exposed their ignorance towards history, with the most incredible emphasis on the history of this nation and what it was we separated from “Mother England” for in the first place as they have been since nominating Obama last year.

   Instead of demonizing our Founding Fathers, rewriting history and declaring those that fought and died for our nation at it’s infancy, they should have actually studied what happened, what they went through and what it took to create what, in less than 200 years, would become the strongest, richest and most free nation of people this planet has ever known, let alone could have ever imagined.

   Unlike the Liberals of today, the Founding Fathers actually knew history and learned from it. They took what was good from all the previous civilized nations, and learned from the bad and created what became the United States of America.

   In less than one month, the Liberals have thrown out over 200 years of progress, liberty, freedom, and Constitutional Representation and driven it straight into a ditch…and done so with great fanfare.

   The rest of the world watches as this experiment known as the USA now faces what could be it’s greatest challenge since 1861, and to see what will win out: Democracy, Free Markets and the potential for the individual to succeed by the virtue of his own hard work,

   Or will Socialism take over in an attempt to do what it has been, so far, unable to do anywhere else in the world where it has been attempted.

   To think that I would be alive to see such a challenge in the country of my birth, where I still remember watching the “Tall Ships” sail past the Statue of Liberty a mere 33 years ago is something I would have never imagined in a million years, but here it is.

   The time is coming amazingly fast for all of us to choose sides in this disaster.

   Will you be on the side of, and fight for the rights of the individual?

   Or will you choose to join the collective and suck from the Governmental…well, you get the picture.

   It really is that simple, when it comes down to it. The rights of the individual versus the will of the collective.

   Who do you want in control of your and your family’s life and future? Yourself? Or the Government?

   It seems to me that today conservatives have taken a giant first step in defining the next election cycle. And it is gratifying that at least the CSM covered Tea Party Protest. Think momentum people, momentum.

    What I like is the lack of coverage like the anti-war groups received during their protests. Michelle has shown how small those group protests were but had MSM coverage like they were some massive number of protesters. Just keeps adding to the reasons why normal Americans keep leaving the so called media behind for something or someone without bias.

    I agree – which is all the more reason why the pre-emptive, whiny-a$$ pathetic defeatism disgusts me to no end.

    To be sure, the federal spending package includes tax cuts for most Americans…

    What good are tax cuts to “most Americans” if employers are so heavily regulated and taxed that they go out of business, leaving workers without salaries to tax in the first place?

    I know that the bulk of these “tax cuts” are just re-branded handouts for idlers anyway, so that leads to this question: what good will handouts be as money loses its value and crippled productivity results in fewer goods and services to purchase?

    What galls me is that despite reocrd numbers of college-educated people that exist in this country today, so many of these elite are willfully ignorant of their history and how economies thrive or fail, and keep selecting “leadership” that isn’t.

    These are not the tax cuts you are looking for.

    what good are tax cuts if you are going to have to pay a lot more for goods and services because the tax burden has been simply shifted (and doubled) onto business?

    I concur! Glen Beck has started naming names, something I’ve asked for for awhile now, and it’s making the Rino’s and Elephant hypocrites mad, and uncomfortable. Beck said he received many irate emails from Congressional staff persons after his expose, yesterday. Senator Thad Cock-run’s staffy complained that Glen mis-pronounced the Senator’s first name…call the fracking w-a-a-ambulance! They also received a call ordering them NOT to run the email. That’s chutzpah!

    Glen’s answer was the correct one…Congress works for us, not the other way around!

    We need more voices doing this…expose the two-faced “gimme goons” in both parties, and make them understand anew, just who they work for…us, the U.S. taxpayer!

    A very pleasant surprise that someone in the dying media has taken notice of the peaceful and respectful discontent of conservatives as “dear leader” is rapidly succeeding in making our country rival the failed economy and state of Zimbabwe. Here’s hoping the momentum builds to the point we remind our public servants that they are our servants and we are not theirs.

    From the song “People Got To Be Free”

    “Seems to me we got to solve it individually”

    Too bad that song wasn’t about personal responsibility. Help should go to the innocent and the weak, not the greedy and irresponsible.

    I took some college level history classes around 4 years ago. The ignorance really isn’t willful. People are not being taught anything resembling the history of this country, even if the name of the class is American History.

    The left has been firmly in control of the curricula for decades. Extremely widespread ignorance is the result.

    “…if you vote for me, if you crave the kinds of changes that America is ready to see happen, I promise you this, I will not just win an election, I will not just win, but more importantly you and I together, we will transform this COUNTRY, and WE WILL TRANSFORM THE WORLD!”

    - Barack Obama. Florence, SC. January 25, 2008

    Well, America did vote for Obama, and now we are beginning to see what he meant by “transform this country.” He is pushing his socialist agenda as fast as he can because he knows his time is short. He knows his programs will not help the economy. He doesn’t care about the econony, only about his agenda. So he is acting quickly before the people have time to wise up and turn against him.

    Even the liberal MSNBC and Washington Post recognize that his plan is not a sure thing but a huge gamble:

    President Obama’s first budget… underscores the breadth of his aspiration to reverse three decades of conservative governance and use his presidency to rapidly transform the country.

    But in adopting a program of such size, cost and complexity, Obama has far exceeded what other politicians might have done. As a result, he is now gambling with his own future and the success of his presidency.

    Except he is not just gambling with his own future, he is gambling with the future of the entire country. Please, please wise up to him America, before it is too late to reverse course.

    I always enjoy your righting. I too am watching a very poerful movie, “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”. Interestingly, the press used against him reminded my of today. We can’t disagree with Obama…No. Why we have to have bipartisanship…or else.

    God Bless this nation. If only we had more Mr. Smiths and less Taylors and “Silver Knights”!

    This is what we call, “creative accounting”. You simply take money from one column of the ledger and move it to another. Nothing has been accomplished but it looks good anyway. So-called “tax cuts” will be more than made up for, in other taxes, products and services. Taxing the “wealthy” doesn’t leave out the poor and middle-class. Again, it “trickles down” to them, through products/services. It also diminishes investments. R&D is cut back. Companies let employees go, to save what they have. Just like FDR, Obama will steer a recession right into a major depression. Cutting the deficit in half, is nothing more, again, but simple “creative accounting”. It will be still there, just renamed and masked. Don’t be fooled.

    That’s funny, because that was the movie that was on right after “1776″. I thought about watching it, but decided it was more important to have a nice dinner with my daughters than to get even more angry at the morons who think like LGM/ILMC/and the others who are actually trying to excuse away the destruction of our country and convince people they are not incredibly racist with their claims that blacks and other minorities need to be Dems and slaves to the Government or if they do things on their own rather than take hand-outs and beg from uncle Sam, they are somehow sell-outs.

    Yeah…I wonder what the air is like in their world. Apparently it is very dense for when they arrive in the real world, they show all the signs and symptoms of hypoxia.
