FORT WORTH — Chanting "No more pork!" and "No more bailouts!" a few hundred "tea party" protesters stood outside a west Fort Worth sports bar for hours Friday, cheering and waving signs at passing drivers to protest the Obama administration’s economic stimulus program.

Most of the people we meet had heard about the Tea Party protests on radio or the internet as well. It is really amazing considering that these parties were only ‘planned’ a week ago!

There is a spontaneous combustion going on in this country and Obama is playing with fire.

I was there and it is a start. When people driving by honking, next time maybe they will join in. Next time it should be in front of the Federal Building.

Take it to the Network affiliate in your town...CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, they’re all there. You’ll get noticed.

I agree. The resistance has to start somewhere, and like all things in life, it's going to start small. The next tea parties will be larger, and command more media attention.

If this keeps up, which it must do, it will culminate in the re-taking of our government from the Socialists and their Dear Marxist.

I hear you but I actually think it being on a Friday afternoon was an excellent idea. People driving home during rush hour, with their dwindling paychecks in their pockets...seeing folks on the streets protesting Obama’s socialist plans that are stealing more of their money!

Can’t wait to go to another one.

No, darn it, I wish I’d known about it - Lake Charles is only about an hour from here. I saw the article on KPLC’s website, a tv station in Lake Charles.

Ok, let me take a swing at the Øbot. I’m thinking candy, baby, etc…

Well here is the problem, we have listened to your ideas for the past eight years. Not only have we listened to your ideas, but we have had to endure the consequences of your ideas. You told us that tax cuts for the rich and doing away with regulations on corporations would spur economic growth, but instead of spurring that growth you insisted was going to happen your policies lead us to the brink of another Great Depression.

Riiiight. The problem is Republicans that “do away with regulations?” Reducing taxes and relaxing regulations in certain areas did exactly what they were intended to do. It spurred the economy. But where did the stagflation come from? Failed socialist agenda from the Carter administration. Or perhaps the good Mr "A Citizen" believes that Reagan was President before Carter?

So, we have the “regulations” of Carter in the “Community Reinvestment Act” which forced the banks to write loans to morons that were in no way qualified for them, thus planting the seeds of the GLOBAL disaster we now have.

Then along came Slick Willy the stain master that enhanced the problem with extensive fines and penalties against those lending institutions that did not write loans to totally unqualified applicants based upon criteria that smacked of racial, criminal non-citizenship, and inadequate income guidelines for that very same “Community Reinvestment Act”. That was the fertilizer, water and sunshine that grew the disaster to GLOBAL proportions.

As far back as 2001, President BUSH warned that there was a severe problem resulting from this as well as White House staff and the Treasury Secretary John Snow sounding the alarm. But no, the communist oriented democrats would not have any of it. FNM and FRE got a pass from the rules. Then in 2003 it was so apparent that the entire economic system was gonna blow there were Congressional Hearings on the issue.

The communist democrat Freak show was in full swing. From Maxine Waters proclaiming “outstanding leadership” to Gregory Meeks and his pathetic “ I’m pissed off” BS to Lacy Clay playing a failed race card, the crap from the commies was tiresomely predicable. The commie democrat underlings Arthur Davis and Franklin Raines were guided by the absolutely sorriest one of the bunch, Barney “B.J.” Frank who just could not shut up about how there was near zero risk.

So, the communist democrats are “pissed off” and have “no confidence” in the regulators because they actually had the nerve to report FNM and FRE were not following the rules. BS you say? Ok. There is one thing the communist democrats just can’t do and that is go back in time and change the truth.

Yea right guys (mostly guys) everything is ok, no problems, underhanded business as usual just keep writing those loans to the illegal aliens and our “brothers of color” and you won’t imply racist motivation? Wonderful.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rg3LcSNylA

As for the rest of Mr. “A Citizen’s” rambling, disjointed and incoherent rant I can only say he has had his own propaganda branded into his “thought process” (whatever that might be) as he drones on about “Bush’s policies,” “new faces of the GOP,” and “Republican member of Congress voted the way George Bush wanted them to vote over 90% of the time” as opposed to communist democrats voting on party lines 97% of the time. No real references to any specific facts or events, just bland, non-targeted accusations of “ Bush’s fault.”

He only seem to break the surface of the sewage pond he dwells in at the last paragraph with mentioning foreclosures, “the War,” jobs, “Wall Street investors” but not a single word as to what exactly he is claiming the evil republicans did to cause problems in those areas while totally ignoring the fact that the war was a result of Hussein invading Kuwait and the second war a result of not turning Iraq into a gigantic mirror. The references to Wall Street, jobs and foreclosures are directly attributable to the out of control mortgage industry the communist democrats created. No, nothing that resembles truth or facts, just more non-targeted accusations of “ Bush’s fault.”

What I see is problems in those very areas that stem DIRECTLY from the incalculable damage done to the GLOBAL economic system resulting from the communist democrats playing racism, lies, and unerring partisanship which are proven historical fact.

So Mr. “A Citizen,” in your open letter to “Republican Lurkers” I see not a single sentence that would indicate to a sane, common sense American Citizen that you are anything other than a babbling candidate for rubber room therapy.

As I have said in the past it is not being a communist democrat that makes people stupid, it is being STUPID that makes people be communist democrats.

"How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin.
And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."
Ronald Reagan.

One more thought to “A Citizen.” You might want to consider how lucky you and your fellow communist democrats are to live in the united States. Over in China the likes of Barny “B.J.” Frank, Maxine “Outstanding leadership” Waters and Gregery “I’m Pissed” Meeks would not have had such an opportunity to spew a pack of lies in the face of video tape evidence. Due to the enormous harm resulting directly from their indisputable individual lies in such a situation as global crashing of economic systems they would have been tied to a post and had their heads blown off with an AK-47.

Oh yea, I almost forgot. Since “A Citizen” seems to be fond of incoherent generalized Bush blaming for the “9/11 terrorist attack” let us revisit the FACTS.

April 29, 2004, Deb Reichmann, Associated Press, 9/11 Panel Quizzes Bush, Cheney for Hours:

"During the meeting, Bush unleashed a rare rebuke against his own Justice Department. He said was disappointed at Justice's release of documents that Republicans said showed that former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick - a Democratic member of the commission -was deeply involved in developing 1995 guidance that strengthened a legal "wall" making it difficult for FBI counterintelligence agents to share information with prosecutors and criminal investigators.

One more time?

Sure!

that former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick - a Democratic member of the commission

making it difficult for FBI counterintelligence agents to share information

Jamie Gorlick, DEMOCRAT. Very well the key to the terrorist success in pulling off the 9/11 attack. Not ramblings about non-existent subsequent attacks but THE 9/11 ATTACK itself.

Jamie Gorlick, DEMOCRAT.

ok, now I'm done.

For today...

And Gorelick was instrumental in the housing bust and banking fiasco. What a P.O.S.

You never know...but I am sure some conspiracy nutter from DU or KOS has already written some liberal politician seeking a full investigation....LOL!!

The beauty of it is that those guys/gals fly those jets over that area all the time(perhaps not always in formation)....so the libtards will have a hard time ‘proving’ anything!

LOL!!
