In 2009 many of us made our way to Washington to let the political establishment know we were “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.”
We knew we wanted change and knew we weren’t going to get that change sitting at home complaining. Naturally our enemies made light of our efforts and lied about our numbers. This made both wings of the Uniparty feel good about what was happening.
They sniffed and said, “They’re just a bunch of retired seniors looking for some excitement. They don’t understand how government works. They will get tired and go away.”
We are frustrating our enemies because the TEA party movement has no “national” leaders for them to attack, belittle and dismiss. In fact the few people who have attempted to establish themselves as TEA party movement leaders have been ignored by the movement’s grassroots. While the media has so dearly wanted to capitalize the “P” in party so they could work against a stationary target, the few attempts to organize into a formal party have always been made by Democrats trying to use it to discredit us and we have called them on this.
From the beginning we have known what we needed to do: Scare our enemies into submission; crash our way into their psyches and force them to fear and respect us.
In 2010 we scared the Democrats and they have stayed scared of us since. In 2014 we re-enforced the message.
Since 2010 we have made the media progressively more afraid of us. They tell us this each time they announce the movement is dead. They know this isn’t true but it gets them column space and facetime for liberal commentators on...

Tea Party? Hmmmm? Let’s call us what we really are: American Patriots!
Interesting terminology: “both wings of the uniparty.” This gentleman is most likely a FReeper or lurker. Fascinating to see how memes that start here evolve.
In any case, fear is not enough. Fear has to translate into action and change and the ballot is very poor medicine for accomplishing that.
Action not ballots.
Amen, Amen, Amen!!!
Shut the government down and file Articles of Impeachment!

GOP ,,,,, The party that left us abandoned and called us bad names like terrorists are not receiving many contributions to the RNC from the Tea Party folks .
I was there on September 12, 2009 with 2 million other patriots. There has never been that large a crowd in the District of Corruption and it scared the bejeebers out of the establishment. The Ministry of Propaganda has done a marvelous job making it go down the memory hole and continually announcing the demise of the movement.
We haven’t gone anywhere but to work.
Eric Cantor was the first, but he won’t be the last.
The voters have term limits in their hands.
Cantorize your weasels, America!
This Junkyard Dog is off the chain!
I can’t wait for each days news showing the gop-e and the DIMs to such feckless idiots...and traitors to their oaths. I laugh at their tribulations. I take glee in their failure.
There are a lot of ticked off people out here... been ticked off for a very long time.. with no leader and no way to show our strength and numbers.
Emails didn’t work. Calling didn’t work. Giving the GOP the House didn’t work. Giving the GOP the Senate didn’t work. They were not listening... nor did they care.
Along came Donald Trump, speaking LOUDLY and TRUTHFULLY. Saying what we have tried to say. Trump became our spokesperson, our leader of sorts... and finally, the media, the GOP, and even the Dems.. at least LISTENED for once.
Nothings been the same since Trump entered the scene. He’s been fresh air into a stale room.
Dr Carson and Ted Cruz are still in there too... they are in my bank also... it’s just that Trump gave the rest a reason to finally look and listen. He showed it was ok to speak candidly.. to chuck political correct speech... to man up and stand up to what is wrong in our country.
God bless the ones who are out there, not afraid, and saying it like it is!!
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you scare them, then you win.
tea party scared the establishment Republicans too ... which is good
the Tea Party doesn't really exist. They're just an urban legend...kicks Lopeover under the table...: ^ )
We need anti-GOPe candidates for every open office possible from President right on down to dog catcher. The more offices the TEA party fills and serves well the faster and larger it will grow.
: ^ )
Here’s my question. Is it me that just today finally figured out WHY McCarthey bolted out with the ignorant statement that the committee was ONLY to make PIAPS drop in the polls? It was NOT by mistake.
Bonehead and his ilk are scummy little vengeful disgusting GOPe folks. This was a planned attack, well laid out by GOPe to discredit the committee investigating PIAPS and Benghazi because Bonehead wanted revenge on THE CONSERVATIVES and this was his way of saying...”oh you want to throw me out of power”....... I’ll get even with you and your little dog too!
Am I wrong here? Did the rest of you FReepers figure this out a long time ago? What do you say?
One of the most important things that conservatives elected under Tea Party auspices must do, is long overdue.
It is vengeance.
Vengeance against the RINO/Whigs and their Chamber of Commerce allies, by stripping them of power and influence.
Vengeance against corrupt and even criminal government officials who have ignored the constitution and the law, as well as evaded justice. These people need to go to prison, or at least be barred from ever being part of the government again.
Vengeance against the Democrat-socialists who have been tearing down our nation since Andrew Jackson, redoubling their efforts with Woodrow Wilson, Frank Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and the current Occupant. The government needs to be systematically stripped of any vestige of socialism and national socialism.
Vengeance against “activist” federal judges who create law out of whole cloth. Impeachment takes too long, so the judiciary needs a reorganization, retiring the radical liberal judges, and appointing a slew of new judges that respect the law, and put the constitution above precedent.
Benghazi investigation never was for political purposes. Ask the mother who wants answers for her son’s death there. IF hillary had not stonewalled the investigation, it could have been handled a long time ago. The fact it’s here now, is because they (WH and hillary) would not cooperate.
McCarthy would have been the clone of Boehner and if it was the conservatives who ousted him, McCarthy must have gotten a clear message right away that we did not want him either. Also, perhaps he didn’t want Gowdy to have a chance at being Speaker.
Cummings sits on that committee... and he’s in on the coverup attempt. I think the GOP are more aligned with the democrats than they are with their base... or the independents. It was one big party and we messed with it... they had no opposition until they got us all mad. And Trump came along. They thought he’d be gone by now.. and he’s still here.. stronger than ever. It must mess up what they thought they could do and get by with it.
Right now, the GOP hates the Conservatives .. I don’t put anything past them.
We have to elect a man who will send all the illegals back, or we’ll live under the dems forever. They are not democrats, the all are socialists.. communists.
Where in the world did the law take place to make them eligible to vote when they come here? I swear there is no law that states that.. they just do and no one stops them.
Get them out of here and get some laws back into effect to stop this! We are not going to be run by a minority that come here illegally!!
And while we’re at it... get someone in there who will stop this “black lives matter”. It’s ludicrous and everyone with any sense knows it. This community organizer is so busy taking care of the ridiculous .. or playing golf.. Washington and the media have lost their minds!
