912: AMERICA AWAKES IN 2009

On September 12, 2009 American conservative of all persuasions showed that they had awaken .

Millions of Americans all over the country protested the out of control spending, economic-ruining, socialistic and unconstitutional tendancies of the current politicians in Washington DC, and particularly the Obama administration. Estimates ranged from 2 million by the Daily Mail in the UK, to near one million by Homeland Security, to several hundred thousand by NBC. Watching it on TV, I believe there were a million or more in Washington DC. See the pictures below and decide for yourself:

And the Official Obama administration response? You guessed it...

American citizens are intent on restoring the Constitution. .

Conservatives consistantly poll as a large majority of the polical makeup of America...conservative Republicans, conservative independents, and conservative democrats too. When Jimmy Carter ran down America during his presidency between 1976 and 1980, Americans reacted against him and he was defeated in a landslide. The Obama administration policies are worse for America than Jimmy Carter's were, moving more rapidly and with far more abandon than even Carter tried, or Bill Clinton for that matter. The results are going to be the same.

Americans want to restore the Constitutional Republic, based on the US Constitution and its foundational moral and republican principles. They are not asking for this...they are demanding it.

And they will have satisfaction.

Starting in 2010 with the largest overturn in the history of the House and Senate in a single election, and proceeding through 2012, the American people showed on 9/12/2009 that they are willing and more than capable of taking these measures into their onw hands.

Current liberal, socialistic, marxistic, and RINO politicians ignore this at their own mortal political peril...and justifiably so.

Neuter them in 2010...send them packing in 2012!

And this does not even take into account the hundreds of other protests across the country in cities and towns...large and small. Over 20,000 came out in Ft. Worth Texas alone.

My guess is that, all in all, in excess of three million Americans protested yesterday. God bless every one so involved, and all those who supported them.

FYI. Pictorial representation of yesterday’s activities in Washington, DC.

why weren’t people allowed on the actual Mall between the Capitol and Washington Momument?

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

And those of us who wanted to go but couldn’t.

Great photos. I love conservatives.

Thanks for the thread.

[Jeff Head]

Wasn’t aware that they were not allowed. From the photos I saw it appeared that they were on the mall.

[fortunate sun]

I am truly sorry I didn’t attend. I won’t miss the next one. Thanks to those who were there.

Here is a pic of Obama’s Inaugural which Jane’s Information group claimed 1.4 million:
Notice you can see green grass on the main hall.

They had tents set up for National Black Family Reunion. I would love to know when this was planned — before or after the tea party express.

I absolutely loved the one of the guy holding the sign,

"We came unarmed [this time]"

I was at the Ft. Worth event. Myself, my wife, my brother and my youngest daughter stood in the pouring rain for about six hours. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram said there were "over 1000" people there. The rain didn't dampen our spirits. My daughter looked at me and said "This is exhilarating!" I told her she is part of history now.

I urge everyone to join their local 912 or Tea Party group. Also check out goooh.com. We are organizing as patriots to take back our country. It's going to take a lot of work but we have at least begun.

The Tea Party movement's core purpose and motivation is opposing Tyranny and (re)affirming Liberty!

How to distinguish Liberty from Tryanny:

	Liberty	"Soft" Tyranny
1	Rights are inherent in, and unalienable from, individuals	Rights are granted/rescinded by the majority through the government
2	Fundamental rights are life, liberty, and property (absence of coercion)	Fundamental rights are food, housing, and healthcare (absence of necessity)
3	Property is owned by individuals who make decisions as to its use, improvement, and transfer	Property is owned by 'the public' with government officials making decisions as to its use, improvement, and transfer
4	Government exists to protect the rights of individuals	Government exists to plan and direct the resources of society
5	Government authority is decentralized in a federal system with limited and enumerated powers	Government authority is centralized in a national system with broad and necessarily intrusive powers
6	Government action is prescribed by rules fixed and announced beforehand	Government action is arbitrary and at the descretion of "czars" and planning boards
7	Economic activity is driven by a large number of small entities interacting according to simple rules	Economic activity is driven by a small number of large entities operating within the constraints of complex regulations
8	Effective innovation results from contrarian thinking, individual initiative, and the voluntary exchange of property	Efficient implementation of government planning requires conformity of opinion, collective action, and the coerced transfer of property
9	Standards of living for the many increase permanently as they utilize improved products and services conceived by the few	Standards of living for the many increase temporarily as they utilize property redistributed from the few
10	Altruism is using one's own resources in concrete acts to help specific individuals	Altruism is obligating the resources of others for broad-brush programs to help mankind in the abstract

Rights exists solely as a way to fairly decide whose will shall prevail in cases where two or more people disagree. They do not exist for the purpose of enslaving one person for the benefit of another (e.g., the "right" to free medical care.)

Liberty is the right to do whatever does not infringe the rights of others. Rights empower you to help yourself, free from interference by others.

Tyranny makes you a serf to be used by the elite to further their own power. Once upon a time, the nobility used religion to convince the serfs they had to serve the nobility. Modernly, the elite use good people's feelings of altruism to convince them to enslave both themselves and their neighbors. It's basically the same con game, just using a more sophisticated hook.
