This is a near-final draft - I might change a word or two here and there, but it stands as far as content and intent. I've cast this for a wider audience.

Some of the HTML formatting is a little off - translation artefacts, I suppose.

I'm not going to convince kool-aid drinkers or Move-on.org types. This is a warning for them and a wake-up cal lfor everyone else.

The worst they can do is laugh me off the stage. I'll can only say that I at least tried. Truth is, no one's going to be laughing about much of anything in the near future. Time will tell...

There you go. Tea Party on July 4th. Makes a ton of sense.

These Tea Parties on like, Wednesday, June whatever, or Tuesday, August something-- not so much.

UP ON MY SITE:

4TH OF JULY TEA PARTY SPEECH

Please read Noumenon's speech here and pass it on to everyone you know. (Link either here on FR, or to my site above)

Many are not comfortable with this direct talk, but it is far past time for it. We need only look around to know this.

All Americans should understand the truths Noumenon speaks of...they, along with our faith in God in Heaven who has granted us our rights, are the kernal to maintaining and defending our liberty.

They always have been. We as a people forget (and have forgottent them) at our absolute mortal peril.

And, any clear thinking American who has any understanding and love for the liberty of this nation and what it is based upon, by whatever means they came by it, understands that that peril is upon us.

Today, though many do not want to believe it or comtemplate it, we live in a time, when the truth of our nation's heritage, the principles upon which its true liberty is based and the commitment required to maintain that liberty, are not only being denied and ignored, they are being villafied and set up to be viewed as "wrong thinking" and seditious. Ultimately, this thinking, particularly since it has become the basis for the "politically correct" dogma and propoganda of this nation's major governmental, political and media institutions, will lead to conditions similar to those which existed in Nazi Germany and any other totalitarian state.

We can see this all around us, whether it's labeled "gun nuts", "right wing extremists", "Christian fanatics", "homophobes", etc. the terminology itself is engineered to degenerate and disenfranchise any who voice their views in favor of the fundamental moral and philosphical principles that underpin our liberties. These efforts to marginalize and ultimately criminalize the truth of our heritage, our way of life, many of our rights and the foundational moral values that lay at their core, are clear.

As noumenon stated, where they lead is also clear.

That reality is taught to us by history and history is a harsh and direct school master. If we the people do not break out of the cycle before both our actual and effectual power is completely negated...well, just ask our founders, or ask the European Jews of the early 1940's, or ask the folks in the "Soviet Empire" or dissidents in Red China under Mao ... or ask the youth of Tienamen Square what the results will be.

The result of letting these conditions go unanswered is either bloody revolution or genocide

We have a 4th bash every year, and the last two, I have stood and given a mini-lesson in history and ended with a question and a challenge of some sort.

I'd like to read this, with your permission.

Great speech.
Pass it on folks and Give the speech, or a varient there in, at your local Tea Party on July 4th. It’s time. . .
I keep thinking what would Ayn Rand say today about the bailouts, horrendous tax rates, government takeover of business, illegals, takeover of health care and the Tsars? . . . + about twenty other things, but you get the drift. I wish she could “wake up” have a crash course on the news and do a 2 hour TV interview, or radio guest show. I guess I know about what she would say. .

All great and true stuff. However, all your rhetoric will not matter one iota in grand sceme of political power. Why? Because the system is broken beyond repair. The end of our great experiment in a Republic has been corrupted, twisted, and has lost the original "intent" for decades.

Choose your Executive power grabs from FDR or LBJ or Carter or GHWB or GWB and go back further for those who have legislative power and continue to promote and pass un-Constitutional legislation.

Now we have a blatant Marxist as CIC who has the support of other Marxists, or a least progressives, like Reid, Pelosi and the Socialist caucuses. The Republic is dying.

You and I know very well that that much of the American populace is leaning towards wanting stuff. The question is what are we Constitutional patriots going to to about it?
I believe NO ONE will do one damn thing, other than parade signs on street corners (did that).

SOLUTION: IT IS TIME FOR CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE! It is time for us to remember Jeffersonian quotations.

Because few of us want violence, think major "wedgies" as the Congress-critters are leaving the Capitol building. What? A misdeamor for pulling their underwear up to their necks? What the hell is the Park Police, DC Police, and other LE going to do, if enough fed up citizens yank their pants up and over their heads? How many can they arrest? How will the Congress critters deal with such? It will SCARE the hell out of them!!!

It's time to make a major statement. I'm there if there is anyone else for such a benign effort. However, I also believe the majority of American citizens don't have the balls. So, in the end, the Republic is done. End rant.
