Tea party witness chokes up: 'I'm not begging my lords for mercy. I'm a born free American woman'
Daily Caller ^ | 6/4/13 | Vince Coglianese

A tea party witness from Alabama launched into emotional testimony Tuesday as she described her group’s political abuse at the hands of the Internal Revenue Service.

“We peacefully assemble. We petition our government. We exercise the right to free speech. And we don’t understand why the government tried to stop us,” Wetumpka Tea Party President Becky Gerritson said during her opening statement before the House Ways and Means Committee.

“I’m not here at as a serf or a vassal,” she went on, beginning to choke up. “I’m not begging my lords for mercy. I’m a born-free American woman, wife, mother and citizen.”

* One point is random, two is a trend and the trend is national insanity. *

My wife and I went on a vacation the day after.
We grieved for a nation that had so many people that no longer know how to think. The people who elected him are especially guilty because they were warned.
We didn't want to hear the mind-numbing stupidity of the reports about how the Eloi elected the Morlocks into power.

* Don’t expect ABCNNBCBS to even mention it on the evening shows........... *

Post says that Fox is talking about it.

It would be great if NBC, ABC, or SeeBS would play it!

The lower level folks won’t get the benefit of a million dollar lawyer and a cushy job at some liberal organization.

This IRS Scandal has convinced me that it was not “low-info” voters who elected Bozo. The election was STOLEN!

I think there are more patriots out there than we realize and that we need to cease being defeatest - precisely because it’s based on a false assumption - and start (or continue) being angry.

We need to pester our Representatives until they draw up Articles of Impeachment! Because if they don’t, our country will have ceased being governed by the rule of law and will be ripe for total anarchy.

She's gonna get the Joe the Plumber Treatment.

Like the other koranimal incident of 2001 with boxcutters, that is something that will only work once
It took a while to shut up the wise fools on radio and TV who kept mumbling, we have no proof!" that it goes all the way to the top.

The most disappointing is the entire cast of Fox News, playing the same game. Paranoid about the Soros-Obama complex shouting out "Don't you dare overreach!"

It's almost painful, to see the fear of the socialist-progressive-communist-RINO morons.

One point is random, two is a trend and the trend is national insanity. The impact on me has been like the death of a loved one.

Some weeks back, I happened to run into a YouTube video of someone performing our national anthem. As I listened to it, all of the pain, disappointment, anger, worry, fear, and loss of these last five years, hit me all of a sudden, and I welled up like a baby. I got so choked up with sorrow over what's happened to my country, that I could barely contain myself.

The left has no idea what they're messing with. I know that, like me, millions upon millions of my fellow Americans are walking around with the same kinds of powerful emotions simmering just below the surface. I swear, they really don't want to push us to the point where those emotions burst forth into action. It will be the end of them.

“. . . same kinds of powerful emotions simmering just below the surface.”

That describes me, except sometimes I’ve got to vent or I couldn’t stand it anymore.

""You know something, Valerie - As I watch this dangerous right-wing reactionary shed her crocodile tears I become even more determined to complete the fundamental restructuring of this white elitist country."

The only thing missing...

"It's the Right Thing to do!"
