   MNUSMCDavid: I lunch almost daily with a Marine Colonel and we discuss this regularly so I am not a stranger to what you are saying.

   I plan to attend several of these Tea Parties and fully expect that La Raza and/or ACORN will be sending the usual balaclava-hooded thugs to throw bottles of frozen of urine at us. The important thing is that we outnumber them substantially. The power is swinging to us and the MSM will not be able to ignore us if these Tea Parties turn into a broad movement.

   From what I can see here on this forum, there are those who are going to do something about our governmental problem, there are those who are only willing to lecture those others, and then there are those who intend on being in the way.

   Same as it was in 1776.

   I’ve heard estimates that the three groups were roughly equal in size…
   1/3 pro-independence, 1/3 loyal to the British crown, 1/3 wouldn’t take a stand one way or the other.

   Our independence and freedom were earned by a minority of the population.

   Yep.
   That’s what I was taught way back in school, when public schools actually taught.

   Since “the ONE” is a Chi-Pol it’s extremely important that we “at home” send Washington a HUGE message!

   There are no Radicals on our side of the fence. Perhaps you meant Radial, as in tires, saws and such?
   Knuckle draggers yes, radicals no. Apology accepted.

   Yes, I should use the correct term: “Reactionary.”

   Further, there was no apology. I neither backtracked nor changed what I said.

   Simply, if you are not seriously advocating revolution and are just using hyperbole, then my comments are not; and should not be taken as being; directed at you.

   Unless you have some problem with me personally, I don’t understand why you “don’t want to agree with me” when you agree with me. (?)

   Of course no American wants another Civil War, Zero.

   But, a perfect storm of circumstances, politics, and treason is leading to something big on the horizon.

   Liberals are at war with us (have been for decades) and with The Constitution.

   The question is: will we act to make our voices heard and if, necessary, take a stand, or, do we REACT after it’s too late?

   “Reactionaries” is the wrong term. Better to call us Patriots.

    I am all for the Tea Parties. But I would like to make a strong suggestion. Beware of allowing the media, any media, to take control of the events.

    Fullerton unfortunately allowed the radio jocks to take control, and of course for rating and shock value they led the people to display a ‘mock beheading’ of the Governator. People were parading around with ‘bloody severed heads’ of Arnold.

    I implore everyone who is taking part in the parties (as I hope to do) to do so in a manner that doesn’t make us look like freaks and doesn’t mimmick Islamic terrorists and drug lords!

    Those kind of antics may get attention, but it won’t be the right kind and it will provide our opponents with ammunition to distract from our main message.

    There’s planning underway for a San Francisco Tea Party April 1.

    Not buying it. That would require Satan to sharpen his iceskates.

    More likely this is Code Pink planning an April Fool’s Day prank.

    That’s OK. I hope all 3 conservatives who live in SF show up that day and kick Code Stink’s a$$.

    Yes, let’s keep it civil at all times. At the Ft Worth, TX tea party in Feb, there was a guy shouting “F*** Obama, Obama hates you!”

    That has no place here.
    #1: There are kids present, no profanity please (or anything that might actually incite violence from the Obamabots).

    #2: This is not about Pres. Obama as a person, but rather the policies, corruption, taxes, spending, et cetera of the current government, including Mr Obama, Mizz Pelosi, Mr Reed, and many many others.

    Shouting stuff like that only reinforces the left’s stereotype that we are reactionary bigots. We are loyal Americans who are FED UP with the shenanigans of our gov’t.

    Absolutely! It’s long and the first half is a bit depressing, but the second half more than makes up for it.

    I get depressed when people argue that we can’t make a difference. I say “We MUST make a difference! If we want America back, if we want our employees in Washington DC to start working for US – We the People – we have no other choice but to start small and keep it growing.

    Thank you Michelle for all you are doing towards this effort. It’s Herculean in our effort. For too long we’ve sat around saying “what can we do?”

    The ones who not only talked about violence but also murdered people were violent communist revolutionaries like Bill Ayers who have never waivered from their goal of World Revolution.

    If anything, we are the counter-revolutionaries, part of the 25 million “diehard capitalists” Ayers said would need to be killed.

    It is definitely a revolt against liberals, but understand the GOP party is packed with them.

    The Communists have accomplished many of their goals found in W. Cleon Skousen’s 1960 book The Naked Communist and which were recorded into the Congressional record over 46 years ago (January 10, 1963).

    Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

    Come writers and critics

    And don’t speak too soon

    Please heed the call
    Don’t stand in the doorway
    Don’t block up the hall

    Hi Joy!
    Thanks again for asking!
    Re remembers people here quite fondly, and talks abt/asks after a few — and you’re one of those.

    My answer in the other thread was a rather long OT post, so in consideration of MM I’ll not stink-up her board by replicating my convoluted cacklings…

    He’s not doing much of a political stripe right now… he finds writing difficult (fine motor function), and reading the blogs sends him into a funk. He’s basically buried himself The Scriptures & his library — which is pretty good sized. When he & StepMom PCS move & they pack *his* library[grin] the count is 500 boxes of books. Most of those (4/5ths) are history and civilization, 2/3rds of those are US History, Military History (prior WWI) and Bios of various Historic Figures.

    When he’s not reading he’s pushing his rehab. He works atleast 2x as long at rehab than they ask of him — indeed, if StepMom didn’t ride him to rest, I think he’d work himself to collapse. And, if she wasn’t a surgeon (and his wife) I doubt he’d listen… as it is, he won’t listen to anyone else about it.

    You’ll find the other news abt Dad commented (I think) at #114: http://michellemalkin.com/2009/03/12/threat-of-card-check-legislation-sends-wal-mart-stock-down/comment-page-2/

    Mike – Thanks for the reply and link to the other reply!

    I have extreme carpal tunnel in my hands so I understand about the typing and writing thing! One reason I don’t do long posts anymore and don’t do many photoshop graphics, although I get inspired enough to do some.

    I’m glad to hear he’s up and about, but sorry to hear how disheartened he is. I understand though. It’s pretty amazing to see the overall disinterest in our countries downfall. I cling to the Prophecies and trust in them that our Constitution will be saved.

    I’m not surprised at all that he is so well read. His postings showed that. Yours do too. I’m sure your step mom is aware of the Usurper-in-Chief’s latest about making military pay through private insurance for their medical. What an abomination! The only people who have a RIGHT to medical care are our Military!! But I’m not surprised hussein would abandon them in everthing he can.

    The original tea party was anti-tea and involved wholesale destruction of the product.

    How about introducing COFFEE as the symbol of the tea parties?
