“Up to two million people marched to the U.S. Capitol today, carrying signs with slogans such as “Obamacare makes me sick” as they protested the president’s health care plan and what they say is out-of-control spending.The line of protesters spread across Pennsylvania Avenue for blocks, all the way to the capitol, according to the Washington Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency.”
Sweet.
Temecula Tea Party - September 12
Pitbully and I made the trip from Banning today. It was a great turnout and very rewarding experience.
Resign, Obomba, otherwise suffer the fate meted out to the wicked witch of the West!

I love “you cant fix stupid but you can vote it out”. Beautiful Americans saving their country
Park police declined to provide an official crowd estimate.
Why does the Park police decline to provide an estimate?
WT...???? What "incendiary" element? Who are they talking about? This rally was 100% save America. Since when is being pro-American "incendiary?"
They’re a little too smug with that ‘incendiary’ remark; I’d expect it from the caviar crowd in the NY Times but not from a bunch of taco stufffers from America’s biggest barrio.
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| 1 | Rights are inherent in, and unalienable from, individuals | Rights are granted/rescinded by the majority through the government |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.
United we stand. Divided we fall.
The rally was embraced, after some hesitation, by congressional Republicans, some of whom were leery of associating with the more incendiary elements of Obama's opposition.The problem in a nutshell.
I love it!!!
The Florence, South Carolina tea party was held at the city-county complex building where a young coal black man with long braids in his hair gave a speech on the United States constitution, telling everyone they need to read, study and understand it and work to rein in the abuses that are going on now. He explained that all powers not granted to the federal government are reserved to the states or the people so most of what the feds are doing now is outside the constitutional limits. Listening and watching him produced cognitive dissonance, he just didn’t look like a hard-core conservative constitutional advocate.
You really can’t always judge a book by the cover, folks.
“Reporting from Washington - Tens of thousands of protesters marched on the U.S. Capitol today, airing a wide range of grievances rooted in a shared sentiment: seething anger at President Obama and his far-reaching agenda.”
So this is what they call “reporting” these days.
Wimps....
