The Tea Party folks are as sheep being marched to slaughter. The Tea Party is being set-up for a take-down.
But the pride of many will not allow them to see what is coming. If you would only lay down your signs and stand with your angry mouths shut - you would stop the attack.
But you and others have too much invested in anger to ever understand the wisdom of the words - The Battle is the Lords.
So was the battle for Jericho but Joshua still had to march around the city and sound the trumpets.
You sound like a liberal are you sure you are on the right website?
Stand up and SPEAK OUT AGAINST THIS NONSENSE.
You're a joke.
I think you are right. Silence speaks louder than words. However here you will have those who call you a troll because they think acting like the dreaded hippies of days gone by will actually do anything.
Which is more threatening, a group of screaming sign holders numbered in the tens of thousands? Or a group of silent, yet angry group numbered in the tens of thousands. I think as a politician, that would scare me WAY more.
You speak of anger as though is is some abhorrent psychological malady, rather than a wholly understandable reaction to having one’s life and freedom hijacked by a gang of political thugs for no reason other than their own personal power. If you aren’t angry, you’re not paying attention.
The Lord helps those who help themselves, and standing around with your head in the sand is getting you absolutely nowhere. Go back to DU.
John the Baptist would Disagree,,,
King David spoke out against Goliath,,,
The Two Prophets Will stand against the anti-christ,,,
I Kinda see a Trend...
I am Not Angry
What planet do you live on?
They WANT us to sit down and shut-up.
NOT ON MY WATCH.
Besides, history has shown us that giving the leftists, progressives, socialists, communists, marxists among us what they want NEVER STOPS THERE ATTACKS on our freedoms, history and traditions, way of life, and our Constitution. I will defend freedom VIGOROUSLY and VOCIFEROUSLY, just as our founders did against the British tyrants.
You must be painfully naive and/or ignorant of reality and necessity in these trying times.
I suggest you go on Glenn Becks website, and acquire and read some of the books he has listed.
HUH?
Pretty obvious with the constant "violent", "racist", and other memes being hammered as the Big Lie du jour in the MSM. Even denials have to repeat the meme in order to deny it, and the Left have set the playing field by ever pushing the ides.
The TEA party movement is on the defense and will be for the forseeable future.
As long as someone holds a sign, it can be photo-shopped, as long as anyone speaks, it can be voice-overed, as long as there is a group, it can be infiltrated by others who will generate the 'incidents' that the group would not in order to make the group look bad.
Such infiltrations and agents provacateur are not news, and make ever more important the self-policing of our actions.
The silent protest idea is interesting. T-shirt messages only, or none at all.
What might be more intimidating than a few thousand to a couple million people gathering and saying nothing? The silent majority shows up--silently.
At the same time, the MSM would use that as well, simply adding in 'crowd noise' and whatever epithets they wanted.
Perhaps for one rally, with a 'silent majority' theme, or a "We have said what we had to say' rally, but overall, I don't think that would fly.
Sure, there is a lot of misdirection in the media, like one majician's hand distracting the audience from the real substance of the trick, it is common sleight-of-hand, and this administration practices it upon their own and anyone else who will watch the magic show. Then they sell the tonic which will cure all our national ills and send us all the tab.
While I would advise caution in every statement, sign, and spoken word anywhere near a microphone, and thoughtful design of any signs which would make photoshopping far harder, people are there to speak their minds, not to be silenced. If, however the front ranks conspicuously had their mouths closed, it would be far harder to claim anyone spat or hurled epithets at anyone.
Yes, the battle is The Lord's, but we are there to do His work.
