Tea Party Watch: Protesting the cap-and-tax cramdown
Photoshop: Leo Alberti
It’s not just what’s in the bill. It’s the way they rammed it through the House.
Just like the porkulus: Under-handed, transparency-defying, and stuffed with earmark payoffs and bribes concocted in middle-of-the night, backroom deals.
Taxpayers are mad again. And they’re not going to sit still.
Impromptu flash protests are taking place today at state capitols and federal buildings across the country.
In Chicago:
If you are anywhere near Chicago’s Federal Plaza this afternoon, where the Tax Day Tea Party took place, then be there at 1:00pm for a cap-and-trade protest. Federal Plaza is at 230 S. Dearborn.
In Orlando. And in Canton, Ohio.
In Upland, Calif.: noon at the corner of Foothill/Euclid.

Interesting link you sent, tks. Not sure it will work now, did not nazi piglousi table the bill and it’s done?
Agreed, little story I was a participant in today that supports what you said.
A woman today was looking for an a apartment for her friend. Management take the weekend off here, they are incompetent in other ways, but on with my story.
We started talking about the rent cost and so forth and I naturally couldn’t pass up chance to feel one out on their political views. Mentioned the crap and tax bill passed yesterday, she had no idea what I was talking about. I went on for a few about the damage the dems and Odumbo are doing to the country. I said these libs are ruining this country, she said her and her hubby felt the same…but she had just said she knew nothing of the scam bill passed. Unless she was bs’n me,I have to assume there are millions in the same position as her and her hubby. They have no idea what’s going on. I think that’s a result of that old saying”two things you don’t talk about with strangers is religion and politics”…that and their too busy watching American Idol or Dancing with the Stars and the soup channels for their news. Too many people are unaware of what’s happening to their country.
Tea Parties and person to person are two great ways to help conservative word get out to people in the dark and push the conservative cause.
Great idea you have there, planning for the worst and hoping for the best.
I’m sure you aware those items go best when water is added. If and when this gets ugly enough you need those food staples you can bet water will be at a premium if you can find it.
While everyone was wailing on lgm, an amusing pastime I must admit, I almost missed Symrian comment #23. He/she put forth the idea that the Chicoms have “fixed the problem” by adopting some captalism.
Really, China is no longer Communist? Who knew?
Sadly, based on the cap and trade vote, I think we are moving closer to the Chinese form of government, than they are to ours.
And Symrian, please get a clue – Communists clammor to get out of their own countries and others don’t clammor to get in. Ever wonder why?
happy2behere, from what we can see China is politically, socially commie while economically they have adopted a quasi free market system. Not as open as western countries but it’s far from what Mao was preaching. I surely wouldn’t say they’ve fixed the problem with their people, no doubt about that.
Oh CHINA’s Chicoms-I thought you were talking about CHICAGO’s Chicoms. Clears that up for me-thanks.

Propane Outdoor Cooker Set with Fry Pan–much more efficient than using the grill. And try and stock up on canned meats and meat meals.I have a sick feeling we are going to have some “Great Emergency” late summer of 2010-rather like a Reichstag Fire.
The 3 ring circus in DC has become so arrogantly disconnected from We The People that they have lost all fears of being abdicated from their thrones.The Tea Party protests are a good start,but I’m afraid that nothing short of hundreds of thousands of people converging on DC in a massive siege of the Capitol will get their attention.Especially if it lasted for days blocking their way in and out almost shutting the government down.God forbid that it would come down to an Iranian type of protest.
Desperate times however,will indeed call for desperate measures.
Boomer said (#78):
The MSM covers interesting stories. Twenty pot bellied slobs with signs that Obama is ushering in Communism are no more interesting than the nuts with signs of Armageddon.
I suppose this is off topic, but, can someone tell me if Michelle has written about Obama’s citizenship, or lack of US citizenship?
Would not an effective way to stop Obama’s destruction of America as we know it be for him to be found ineligible to be president?
Does anyone think he would spend a million dollars to hide stuff related to his citizenship if he had nothing to hide?
It seem to me this kind of overrides everything else as a way to stop the runaway government control freightrain, even if it means Biden becomes the engineer.
Maybe I need a new tinfoil hat, but I don’t see how this can just be allowed to drop.
A few of the things that are still hidden from view:
His kindergarten records, his Punahou school records, his Occidental College records, his Columbia University records, his Columbia thesis, his Harvard Law School records, his Harvard Law Review articles, his scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, his passport, his medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records.
The tea parties would still be necessary
without a president Obama, but I don’t believe the headlong rush into Socialism/Marxism would be anything like it currently is.
Am I wrong, are the things I listed that aren’t available really available…anyone?
Sorry, but I can’t get this off my mind.
We can get their attention if at least one state votes to SECEDE!!! Drop the debt, drop the income tax, drop the nanny state laws, drop all other stupid mandates, give ‘em the middle finger salute (if necessary, the ultimate salute). You CAN be free!
Tree, rope, congressman: some assembly required
Your breathtaking idiocy never stops does it? Just keep pokin’ the bear smarta$$ and someday the only websites you will be interested in are those that deal with dental reconstruction and rhinoplasty.
So, has anyone considered that it is too late? That our Govt. is Totally corrupt and WE THE PEOPLE have just been led to slaughter?
I must say that the Election process has been consistant… Consistantly CORRUPT! And EVERYONE Knows thats the truth.
It seems THE PEOPLE ALWAYS take it in the shorts somehow, and The Politician walks away smelling like a Rose. And ALWAYS getting Re-Elected…Strange?
I’m so tired of turning on Rush or Laura or Levin and finding out yet another Stake was hit into the Heart of America. I’m so Tired of attempting to explain the Constitution to an Elected Official who SHOULD have it memorized.
I’m Tired of a bunch of ELITIST Steal my childrens future, in the dark of night and boldly right in front of our noses.
I’m Tired of groups like ACORN turning our Sacred election system into a World Wide Joke!
I’m Tired… So Damn Tired of fighting a system of Govt. that cannot understand God Gave My Family and Myself the RIGHTS that the Constitution of The United States of America were written about. I hope and pray I am not alone.
A lot of people don’t know a thing about cap and trade. I myself didn’t understand what it was until a couple months ago. Friday, I was talking to my sister who is middle of the road on everything, and I was upset about the bill. She asked what it was. I started to “rant” a bit and she cut me off, saying she didn’t realize how “radical” I had become. It was very eye-opening. I AM radical!! Wow. I prefer to call it passionate about my beliefs. She is one of those “undecideds” you see in polls and wonder how ANYONE can be sitting on the fence about the future of our country! Oh, and she insists she is “informed” about what is going on. Sad. So, I have a milquetoast sister, a moonbat leftie brother and a Rush Limbaugh conservative (like me) brother who is the spitting image of el Rushbo himself! Two of us out of four. And we were all raised by the same parents in the same household. It is not upbringing so much as a mental issue, like autism or something.
It would be very effective if huge masses of people descended on DC. That just brings up the practical side of me, however. Where would all those people stay? Where would they eat? And most important, would there be enough port-a-potties? I am serious. How do large masses of people deal with that stuff?
Believe me when I tell you…YOU ARE NOT ALONE! There are millions just like you (us) out there and the time will come when we will all be heard, loud and clear. They will finally listen to us…count on it.

I completely agree, Everyone I incounter is concerned and very pissed off. Considering the idea from Texas, I have my black ribbon flying and I have asked people I know to do the same, just a black ribbon on a tree or store front or anywhere. It may start small but if it grows and the more ribbons are seen the more symbolic it can be. If there are black ribbons everywhere that is a message that cannot be ignored.
I also remember my Military days, it was always said – if people were complaining – that was a good sign, when the complaining stopped and it was quiet, then all the radars went up.

You were told to stop chewing your crayons and think before you speak.
That is how the left argues-name calling, ridicule: Twenty pot bellied slobs, “Bitterly clinging to God and Guns”-”typical white person:, Neanderthals- so we rise about it and use the slurs as Mantels of Honor which is something the humorless left is really capable of understanding.
not really, really
McCloud9,
You have expressed exactly how I and many I know feel.
Uhh thanks rightisright, I hope you understood I was using sarcasm.
And I agree with you but would go one step further. The Chinese use captalism, not because the have seen the light of freedom, but because Communism is an economic failure. They use restricted captalism as a way to fund their Communistic infrastructure. And more recently, they have deftly used it against us, being our largest creditor. In the future, as we continue to print and spend money like its ocean water, wont our largest creditor have something to say about it?
And in the context of this capandtrade revolt discussion, the fact that the largest polluters in the world thumb their noses at climate change regulations, should be pointed out as often as possible.
When the tea party/capandtrade revolt is in Denver, I’ll be there with my family. Too bad lgm wasn’t in Denver at the last one because he/she would have seen the “hicks with sticks” was not that type of crowd. Lgm’s condescending racist steretypes indicate his/her lack of serious reasoning skills, or for that matter, compassion.
After I wrote the above, I clicked on Drudge and there was important article/link to Bloomberg.com about the Chinese calling (again) for a new world currency other than the dollar. So Symrian and rightisright, please see the bigger picture.
IF Bernake and Paulson go along with this…(World Currency)
The United States of America will Cease to Exist.Our Debtors WILL cash in thier Bonds & America will belong to them.
Ask and you shall receive. My brother and father will meeting me in DC on the 11th.
09.12.09 National Taxpayer Protest
Hey LGM – you hang out around here but that doesn’t make you smart. Try a new hackneyed mindless cliche.
I like the black ribbon idea and will pass it along to our 912 group meeting on Friday!
We really need to stand up and tell these morons to GET OUT!
Please, everyone, call, email, fax your senators EVERY DAY and tell them to vote NO on the Crap and Trade, Health Care, Amnesty, Bailouts and whatever the flsvor du jour is. We need to tell them that we are damn mad and we aren’t going sit back and have them stuff legislation up our nose without even reading it! It is criminal! Tell them that we are watching their voting records and if they cannot serve the will of the people, we will vote them out!
JERKS!!
Republicans are so much all-around better than democrats at the things that matter – national security, capitalism, prosperity, freedom and self determination – the things that make America work are the things where we outshine democrats seven days a week!
And we always will -
happy2behere,
No, I didn’t say the Chinese were no longer Communist. But they did adopt some capitalism to help their economy along. And after multiple examples of dysfunctional governance there, like the mandarins and even their current form of government, it worked.
I’m not suggesting we become like them. It was them becoming like what we are and should continue to be that helped them, even if it was only a partial adjustment.
Why did I mention it at all? Because I see people wondering if things can become to broken to fix, and I say they’re wrong. I needed an example, and China is one. Not remotely perfect an example, but a real one.
We had a group of 10 of us protesting yesterday afternoon at our carpetbagging Nancy Pelosi pet poodle Rep. John Bocceieri he took for the Dems a district that has been GOP for 60 yrs. He ran as a blue dog…looks like he is nothing more than a Barney Frank don’t ask don’t tell former Vet..of course as a State Rep he demanded to be kept in Qutar away from any action…see people… some VETS are only there (Al Gore) as a step to gain political…it has nothing to do with all that God & Country stuff
what’s the point?
We crashed their phones and their servers, and they voted “Yes” on TARP.
We managed to get them to vote “No” on the auto bailouts, but Bush went ahead and gave them money.
Not a single New Deal program has been eliminated.
It’s over. We were too busy keeping the world safe and spreading Democracy with guns that we lost our republic to the socialists.
Rep. Kennedy came out of rehab to vote in favor of the Cap & Tax bill. Now it is time to VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE.
John Loughlin is a Republican candidate in Rhode Island who is running against Rep. Kennedy.
http://oceanstaterepublican.com/2009/06/loughlin-for-congress-2010-a-new-voice-for-rhode-island/
What can you folks in Rhode Island tell us about John Laughlin?
It is time to start working on 2010 campaigns so we can clean up the House and the Senate!

The name calling and ridicule here is worse than at any of the main stream liberal sites — tpm, yglesias, klein, huff, etc. I lower myself to your standards sometimes to you will see how you sound. I hope you don’t like it.
And “typical white person” was not a slur.

And what constitutes a “Typical White Person” as compared to “Typical Black Person” Racist in both contexts. But then, in you infantile mind its not.
Well now you’re just being a silly goose.
Hey Michelle’s going to be in Dallas July 4th According to this tea party website.
http://dallasteaparty.org/2009/06/americasteaparty/
I didn’t read all of the posts, because thank God, because there was plenty of support and good stuff to read.
But don’t anybody in the area forget Thursday July 2 in Annapolis 10am-2pm.
That is a complete lie. I have been on all those sites and they are the most hate filled, racist and bigoted websites this side of the KKK’s.
The main stream liberal sites are the most hate-filled, fact deprived, Republican-hating, racist sites I’ve had the unfortunate experience of having seen. Talk about BDS! Totally absurd. Ignore the putz.
