9/12 mania: Massive tea party storms D.C.
WND ^ | 7/14/2009 | WND

Thousands of taxpayers from across the nation are planning to descend on Washington, D.C., to take their fight against excessive spending, bailouts, growth of big government and soaring deficits to the front door of the U.S. Capitol – and they say lawmakers can't hide from their loud and clear message.

"The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States or political parties," the 9-12 Project website states. "We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created."

On his show, Beck called Americans to forget about party politics and fight for the return to basic principles upon which the nation was founded.

"Our economy is tanking. It doesn't show signs of improving," Beck said. "There are people losing jobs, and it doesn't look like there is more help on the way there; there are more cuts on the way. People around the world are taking to the streets. Our government responds with bailouts, and when you call them up and say 'What are you doing?' you don't get any response. They're not listening to you."

The White House has not responded to WND's request for comment.

Beck continued, "Ponzi scheme crooks get away with millions, tax cheats are getting promotions, terrorists are on the run, and you just want your family safe. You just want your children to grow up in a sane country, and you don't want anybody indoctrinating your kids when they get to school. I think a lot of people feel like they're alone and they just want to give up. I'm here to tell you something important, and that is: You are not alone."

No we weren't.

Liberals were never intending to protect true American values and principles.

They only talked Patriotism...easy to do when not speaking in any specific terms about liberty.

It took them about 2 months until they returned to opposing traditional American freedoms.

In the summer of 1932 50,000 world war I veterans camped out on the national mall to protest payments never made to them (until McArthur drove them out with tanks!) I am going to do the same. Screw getting a hotel room. Time for some visible civil disobedience. I’ll take a berating, a beating, or a damn bullet. Sometime or later people are going to have to sacrifice something even if it only turns out to be a little comfort for a couple of days. I’ll have my Gadsden flag, Old Glory, some good whiskey, and some Special Forces buddies. I am pretty frickin’ PISSED. If anyone else wants to join so much the better but I’ll be DAMNED if I’m staying silent while this country is trashed anymore. Just DAMNED.
