Momentum

For those who thought the Tea Party people would just disappear after the April 15 nationwide protests, think again!

Tea party 'extremists' rock and reload July 4
According to a Zogby poll commissioned by the O'Leary Report that was released April 28, the survey of 3,937 voters in the last election shows a full 57.1 percent of respondents somewhat or strongly support beliefs of tea party organizers, while 39.3 percent somewhat or strongly opposed them.
(...)
Even 52.6 percent of respondents with no tax liability supported the tea party movement while only 41.8 percent did not. Of those with tax liability, 58 percent supported the protests while 39.4 percent did not.
Translation: No tax liability - pay no taxes. Although, honestly, every time you buy a pair of shoes, you're paying taxing. Some states, like Tennessee even have a tax on food.
Military service members and their families (60.7 percent expressed support) were more likely to support the core beliefs of tea party movement than their non-military peers (48.5 percent expressed support)
Contrary to what many may believe, these Tea Parties aren't just about taxes. They're about our Constitution, they're about core values, they're about a loss of freedoms.

If you didn't make it to an event on April 15, you have another chance to stand up! Events will be happening all over the country, in all 50 states!

Find your city, or one closest to you, and GO! You won't be sorry!

ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION

ONE OF THE BEST EXPLANATIONS OF WHY OBAMA WON THE ELECTION

From a teacher in the Nashville area, supposedly:

"We are worried about "the cow" when it is all about the "Ice Cream"

The most eye-opening civics lesson I ever had was while teaching third grade this year.

The presidential election was heating up and some of the children showed an interest. I decided we would have an election for a class president.

We would choose our nominees. They would make a campaign speech and the class would vote.

To simplify the process, candidates were nominated by other class members. We discussed what kinds of characteristics these students should have. We got many nominations and from those, Jamie and Olivia were picked to run for the top spot.

The class had done a great job in their selections. Both candidates were good kids. I thought Jamie might have an advantage because he received parental support. I had never seen Olivia's mother.

The day arrived when they were to make their speeches. Jamie went first. He had specific ideas about how to make our class a better place. He ended by promising to do his very best. Everyone applauded and he sat down.

Now it was Olivia's turn to speak. Her speech was concise.

She said, "If you will vote for me, I will give you ice cream."

She sat down. The class went wild. "Yes! Yes! We want ice cream." She surely could have said more... She did not have to .. A discussion followed.

How did she plan to pay for the ice cream?

She wasn't sure.

Would her parents buy it or would the class pay for it?

She didn't know.

The class really didn't care. All they were thinking about was ice cream. Jamie was forgotten. Olivia won by a landslide.

Every time Barack Obama opened his mouth he offered ice cream and 52 percent of the people reacted like nine year olds.

They want ice cream.

The other 48 percent know they're going to have to feed the cow and clean up the mess."

Remember, the government cannot give anything to anyone --- that they have not first taken away from someone else...

The TEA Party? Why the hell not?

For quite a long time I have been told that a 3rd party is out of the question. I want to know WHY?? Is that simply the words of *defeatists* that are afraid to try something new??

I have been told that we can't HAVE a 3rd party and that our only hope is to SAVE the GOP/RNC and remake them.


To that idea I say: BULL SHIT!!

After having *slept on it* and after giving it MUCH thought, screw the GOP, the RNC and all the asshat RINOs that have ruined it…

It’s time to rebuild and on that point I WILL NOT back up or concede… I didn’t ruin the Dems, I didn’t make the Dems go stupid and go off the chart on LIBBER issues, but I am old enough to remember when being a Dem was a GOOD thing. When it wasn’t, we all became Repubs, that was Mr. Reagan at work.

Now, the Repubs are OFF the reservation, so, where do we turn?? Back to the Dems?? Not me!!

It’s time to take this to a new level, and an Independent, 3rd party, 100% Conservative, America 1st, strict adherence to the U.S. constitution party is the only way I am going to go…

No more asshat LIBBERS, no more asshat Dem-Lite, no more faux conservatives. NEVER settle for the lesser of the evils again folks, it’s up to YOU!!

And by God if people can’t get off their asses and work to save this nation, if they aren’t willing to venture into uncharted waters and help form a REAL party of 100% Conservatives, then we are at an impasse and America is suffering a not so slow death because of it…
