The significance of 1773: Moron leftists mock Palin, embarrass themselves
Scroll for updates…
Sarah Palin wisely warned Tea Party activists to keep working hard right up until Election Day — and not to “party like it’s 1773″ yet.
Intellectually superior leftists from Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas to PBS “moderator”/Obama cheerleader Gwen Ifill took to Twitter to snicker about Palin’s historical illiteracy.
But it’s the Palin-bashers who humiliated themselves, via Cuffy Meigs.
“Ummm” yourself, nitwit.
Of course they wouldn’t know when the Tea Party occurred.
They’re too busy wallowing in teabagging jokes and hate smears.

Ifill tries to weasel out of her Palin-bashing:
“Stand down?”
Own up, dear.

If there is one thing I have learned on my time on this board, txvet, is that you have all the subtlety and nuance of a salt lick.
There you go getting all hot and bothered. Sorry, you’re not my type. You’ll just have to make do with your fantasies and your hand.
Memo to Ifill and Markos (and other flaming twits) :
We will
party like it’s 1894.
Look it up.
Doubtful. This bill isn’t getting repealed. Unless Republicans overwhelmingly take over both houses of congress it’s not going to happen.

Even if Republicans won every single 2010 Senate race (which no one expects to happen), Republicans would still only have 60 seats. It takes a 2/3 majority of both houses (290 seats in the House and 67 seats in the senate) to override a veto. Even if the 2010 elections go like the 1894 elections, Republicans will have a 2/3 majority in the House, but not the Senate.
Bottom line: the ability to override Obama’s vetos will depend upon what the Democats, especially the Senate Democrats who are up for re-election in 2012 and 2014, do… If they choose to side with Obama, the veto will stand. But if they choose to side with their electorate, you may see the veto overridden, and Obamacare repealed.
And that would be “A Big F’in Deal!”
Which means they will not be overridden.
Big government is what Democrats are. Big government is what they do. Big government is their whole excuse for being the kind of scum they are.
If the future of the nation depends on a substantial percentage of Democrat politicians turning against big government (about one third of the Democrat survivors in the Senate would have to vote to override Obama’s veto of the rollback), we are already finished.
The reality is much worse than that. Even with a marginally Republican Senate it is highly doubtful we could get a simple majority to vote to undo Obamacare.
You are setting the new Congress up for certain ‘failure.’ Democrats love the way you are talking.
The realistic task this Congress can do is to block any further expansion of the State, stalling the proggs until we can get more conservative seats in Congress and remove the veto pen in 2012.
Thanks for that – I think it bears repeating. There was a lot more going than just the Tea Party before the revolution; our founders were in the process of formulating the essence of this nation.
Continental Congress, March 16, 1776 “Proclamation – Day of Humiliation and Prayer”
Anyone can plainly see how that lines-up with the opening of the Declaration of Independence
BROADCASTING ON OUR TAXPAYER FUNDED PBS, I HEREBY DARE GWEN IFILL TO READ ALOUD HANCOCK’S “Proclamation – Day of Humiliation and Prayer”… in its entirety.
And hold up the funding of Obama’s precious plan to sink this country.

I agree. That is what is realistic.
(Slam on the brakes to slow our forward motion, but it’s going to take a lot more “R”s to actually put the car in Reverse).
Yes, that is what is realistic, but please don’t give up before we even try.
It’s important to put every member of Congress on record with an up or down vote for the following one-sentence bill:
Win or lose, this is a battle worth fighting.
And having their vote on record will assist us in the 2012 and 2014 elections.
Yes, but this part will be fraught with peril. If the People don’t understand the media will be lying to them about what is happening, then it could backfire the way it did on Gingrich.
Absolutely!
The House should make the Senate filibuster conservative bills, over and over and over, and anything genuinely conservative that can get past the Senate should be sent up to Obama to draw veto after veto after veto.
What I am warning against is the kind of ‘compromises’ that will be necessary to actually ‘get something done’ that will really be capitulation to what the Democrats want.
It is what Republicans have always done in the past, so that is where we should be most wary.
When I hear talk about trying to convince Democrat Senators to help us override a Democrat President’s veto of a bill rolling back something the Senators voted for the year before, it makes my skin crawl.
On October 20th, 2010 at 9:48 am, Roland said:
I’m with you 100% on that.
And Rush Limbaugh was ripping into the Republican leadership yesterday for suggesting that they would do so…
In a “normal” environment, a Senator would not vote to repeal a bill they voted in favor of a year earlier. But this is not a “normal” environment. If the 2010 elections look like a repeat of 1894, I would expect each and every Democrat to re-think their position.
Some will continue to support big government Democratic Socialism.
Others will come to their senses and reject it. If they listen to “We the People”, and not their “Progressive” leadership (and I use the word “leadership” loosely here), then there is hope… true HOPE for true CHANGE.
You give Democrat politicians more credit than I do. I think they are fully invested psychologically in the morality of big government. It is their substitution for religious faith.
They excuse their human frailty and their sins in their personal lives by using government to do ‘good works.’ And it doesn’t really matter if the works are good, as long as it makes them feel like they are doing good, giving them the warm glow of self-righteousness.
I think you would be more likely to get the Pope to denounce Catholicism than to get the likes of Chuck Shumer or Barbara Boxer to vote to override Obama’s veto of an Obamacare rollback. You might pick off one or two weasels like Ben Nelson, but nowhere near what we’ll need to override a veto.
And that’s all assuming we can keep the McCain wing completely in line under the most withering fire we’ll have ever seen from the MSM.
The intelligencia that is the progressives such as Gwen “affirmative action” Ifill or Kos “the communist except with my money” is that they are always long on lip, and short on knowledge. Anyone with a grade school education should be able to read, and history is a great predictor of future events, so it would behoove our intelligencia to quit reading wikipedia and the Huffpo, and start reading history. They might learn that every single socialist/communist society has collapsed due to running out of other people’s hard earned money. They might learn that the U.S. is the oldest non monarchy governmental nation in the world with the same constitutional form. There are reasons for both things. Has anyone of your neighbors VOLUNTARILY come over to you and given you some of his money. Communism/socialism would have you believe that happens daily. Capitalism succeeds because it doesn’t seek to change human nature. We work for our and our families welfare first and foremost. Another historical precedent these liberals should study is why the south felt that war with the northern states was preferable to the north destroying the south’s economy and way of life.

Please share and explain your perspective.
My perspective is that slavery required alienating other people’s God-given (Creator-endowed) unalienable right to Liberty.
I don’t think that ending slavery meant “destroying the south’s economy and way of life”. Why not? Because plantation owners could let freed slaves stay on as employees. Sure, the former slaves would be free to go work on another plantation or go into business for themselves, but human nature is such that many would have feared the unknown and would have stayed right where they were. Look at the world today… most employees are happy to just have a place to work, and will pretty much do whatever their boss tells them to do.
Exactly. I get riled when I hear people talk about the southern slaveowners being deprived of their ‘property.’
Tough s***, a*******.
This is eye-opening…

I echo that challenge.
Ifill clearly implied, with her
tweet, that Palin was historically inaccurate to refer to a “party” in 1773. And then Ifill couldn’t “man up” and admit that she herself had been wrong. Yes, the attempted cover-up even is worse than the original misdeed. She can’t claim she was quoting Palin, when what she wrote wasn’t a direct quote. The “ummm” is all Ifill, no Palin.
So, to pay her penance, Gwen Ifill should:
1) Admit that Gwen Ifill, not Sarah Palin, was wrong,
2) Give an oral report stating what she has now learned about the Boston Tea Party, and
3) Read that entire 1776 call for a national day of fasting and prayer.
That’s HUMILIATION and prayer, precisely for what Ifill and liberals lack – humility.
Gwifil , please allow me to introduce you to your own petard… now…. HOIST!
I only wish this was on every school blackboard in America.
For all the wonderful intellectualism and socialist compassion on the left, they are sure taking a pounding in the polls.
Maybe people are unhappy with the “Smart Savior” salesjob and just want somebody with the guts to make cuts.

True. But for many, it will come down to a decision over whether they want to be re-elected or not.
It sounds like Kent Conrad (who is up for re-election in 2012) is starting to come around.
Even if that’s just lip service now, it’s a start…
It’s just lip service, to show he is ‘reasonable.’ It starts nothing, since that attempt to deceive the voters has always been there with all Democrat politicians.
How can the Republicans refuse to negotiate some kind of new VAT when the Democrats are trying so hard to be reasonable?
Why won’t the Republicans reach across the aisle to save the country from the exploding debt??
Don’t fall for it. Don’t even let them set it up.
Conrad is the problem. He has already knowingly voted to spend us into ruin, counting on being able to raise taxes. Ejection from public office is the only solution for people like him.
Oh, I agree. I’m just saying that between now and his ejection, he could be one of the Dems who vote to repeal Obamacare, in an attempt to save his own hide.
I had another thought about the one-sentence bill:
How would Democratic Senators filibuster that with a straight face? How much time do they need to debate a single sentence?
Sure, some are going to want to “repeal and replace”, but you repeal first, then work on a replacement. If they couple the two together, it will never see the light of day.
Bring the bill, and put them all on record. Knowing what they know now, do they still think Obamacare should be the law of the land?
Absolutely.
I Took The Red Pill - I really get a lot out of your posts here on Miss Malkin’s site. I also enjoy reading your blog site. If that is your picture on your comments, you look like Keanu Reeves (take that as a compliment!)
FirstSkirt,
Thank you for your kind words. I was raised in a blue state Democratic family, and it wasn’t until I was an adult that I started seeking and finding the truth. I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned with others, because the truth simply is not taught anymore in our public schools.
As to the picture, that is actually a crop from this picture from The Matrix. Neo took the red pill, and so did I.
But I have been told that I look a bit like both Keanu Reeves and
Ron Livingston (as Peter Gibbons, the main character in “Office Space”).
I realize I’m late to the discussion here, but the word “awesome” doesn’t even begin to describe how awesome this is.
I liken the left’s rush to snark on Palin’s historically accurate comment to the individual who brings a knife to an ideological gunfight.
Eat humble pie, fools. Swallow it down.
