A tea party witness from Alabama launched into emotional testimony Tuesday as she described her groups political abuse at the hands of the Internal Revenue Service.
We peacefully assemble. We petition our government. We exercise the right to free speech. And we dont understand why the government tried to stop us, Wetumpka Tea Party President Becky Gerritson said during her opening statement before the House Ways and Means Committee.
Im not here at as a serf or a vassal, she went on, beginning to choke up. Im not begging my lords for mercy. Im a born-free American woman, wife, mother and citizen.

The impact on me has been like the death of a loved one.

That is precisely how I have described it numerous time. And the loved one is my country.

Thanks for the flag.
Yes, it is powerful, but I wish I could feel hopeful that it will lead to something positive.

Im a born-free American woman, wife, mother and citizen.Like Sarah Palin, she's the type of woman leftists think is "not a real woman."
The left has everything exactly backwards.

What conservatives need to realize is that if you have nothing of use to the marketplace (which is composed of your fellow humans), capitalism can be equally cruel in that you are totally ignored. Capitalism is still the best system, but it is not perfect either.That's why God invented "marriage" and "family." Because you can always clean house or mind children or do yard work for the more productive members and/or live with someone who cares for you when you are too old to work -- until the communist deconstruction began in 1973.

Becky Gerritson is the biggest American Hero of the day because she so eloquently and BRAVELY spke truth to power. The truth that so many of us know to be true, not the least of which was her final remark, made on the verge of tears, that our once great country is slipping away!

Indeed she is. I wish I could personally thank this fine woman (and the others) who spoke for so many of us who couldn’t be there.

You ain’t the only one, here in 2008, you could have seen a grown man cry. BTW, when they called the election for Bammy in 2012, my mother went to the bathroom to throw up right away.

If the GOP cant score on the IRS crimes as detailed by Dr. Eastman, specifically the sharing of documents filed with the IRS to his political opponents, then every citizen can have their private health records shared by the IRS and find that they may wind up in the hands of creditors, Insurance companies, Banks, data mining companies and perhaps more. Imagine if your a few pounds overweight, and your bank wont give you a mortgage unless you accept a higher interest rate because of a precieved risk, oy your race is not consistant with the growth plan for that neighborhood. What aspect of peoples lives would be out of bounds?
Couple that with the Supremes on the DNA ruling, you have a monster on our hands. BTW, except for Scalia, our side sold us out.

Finally, people will hear the voice of the Tea Party without the Left media’s race hate spin.
Rove is such as asshat. He and his Rino pals have gone a long way in smearing the Tea Party. When you are trying to build a National and Global fascist police state, the American voice of constitutional freedom must seem extreme. The King of England thought so. I wonder if he named them “wacko birds” and “old white men”?

And I think a lot of the liberal women in the press would break ranks and make life miserable for the Obama Administration. Liberal women do what they are told.
