Say NO to the Obama Tax Compromise! TEA Party Patriots National Message

The House will take up the Tax Compromise package Tuesday. CALL your representatives now.

Do not let Congress compromise with Obama. "The Compromise" is against everything the House Republican Leadership agreed to in the "Pledge to America." This type of behind closed door politics is not what "We the People" voted for in November.

CLICK HERE to Sign Tea Party Patriots' petition against "The Tax Deal" with Obama. Don't allow Congress to Compromise with Obama.

Here are the reasons why this tax bill must be opposed as outlined by Hugh Hewitt in TownHall.com:

"The Deal" was forged in secret, without consultation with the scores of new representatives and senators who campaigned on a much different agenda- much less with their supporters and contributors who worked for two years and gave vast sums of money so that a new start could be made, one built on transparency and principle.

What it Once Was Like in America When Men Were Free

We Remember

Giving Thanks This Day (See Lincoln's Proclamation below)

This is an original 1863 illustration by Thomas Nast of "Thanksgiving Day, 1863." The image shows scenes of importance to this critical period in our Nation's History. The image show a nation in earnest prayer. Our founding fathers, our political leaders, our military leaders, emancipated slaves, and the destitute are all seen lifting their prayers before God. In the center, we see a dramatic image of Columbia (Lady Liberty) kneeling in prayer. This is a touching illustration, and an important reminder of the critical role that prayer played in the history of our Nation.

Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation

Washington, DC—October 3, 1863

The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added which are of so extraordinary a nature that they can not fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.

In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theater of military conflict, while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union.

Liberty and Tyranny

Synonyms for the TSA: totalitarian, despotism, authoritarian, police state, Orwellian, draconian, tyrannical, dictatorship, autocracy, fascism, oligarchy.

Antonyms for the TSA: democracy, freedom, liberty, representative government, equality, emancipation, republic, egalitarianism.

Terrorism
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.

People are intimated, coerced and in a state of fear and submission based upon TSA actions and threats.

I fly for business several times each month and am concerned about TSA's new "enhanced security" methods for several reasons: safety, privacy, ineffective procedures, and most importantly, the procedures are a violation of my Fourth Amendment rights.

The Backscatter X-Ray Scanners, aka Porno Scanners have not been adequately tested for health impact and the safety data cited is provided by the machine's manufacturers' and government contractors who are in many cases, former administration officials. Providers of the machines have a vested financial interest in their deployment.

Victory For Liberty!!!! A Message from TEA Party Patriots

Congratulations to the Citizens of our Nation - Tea Party Patriots Salutes You!

Today was a victory for Liberty!!!! Congratulations! Victories across the country happened because of your hard work and your dedication to our core values, our Constitution, and our country! Your efforts to spread our message throughout the country have resonated with millions of Americans! Time after time you melted the phone lines, showed up at rallies, made signs, protested outside of Congressmen and Senator’s offices, lobbying the halls of Congress, and so much more. Each and every time you took one of these actions our message spread further throughout the country.

On the night of the final health care vote in the House of Representatives, so many of you were in DC protesting, while millions more were emailing, calling and faxing their Representatives. You were disgusted that your government ignored your will so egregiously. For almost thirty six hours straight you stood against those who refused to listen. Those who were in DC, sang with hoarse voices, “We’ll Remember in November! Hey! Hey! Good Bye!” They thought that when November came you wouldn’t remember. But we did remember. And those who ignored you have paid the price. Take pleasure in this feeling of victory.

An Early TEA Party Choice -- American Exceptionalism Personified

How Do You Rank the "Death of a Nation"?

Watched our 2010 election countdown clock roll over to all zeros. Whoo Hoo!!! D-Day, Armageddon, Moment of Truth, Moment of Salvation... is finally here.

Actually turned the computer back on to add this because we just watched Hannity's repeat segment with Kirsten Powers and Margaret Hoover. Kirsten was defending socialism -- sorry, defending the Obama Administration -- with her pronouncements that "...the American people put healthcare at number three in their reasons for voting this election cycle". Margaret disagreed, of course, as do I.

Because how do you rank the top three reasons to vote against anyone who supports Obama's DNR (Do not Resuscitate) Plan for America?

Let's see... why should I vote for a Conservative Constitutionalist and against Obama and his minions?

Deemed Unworthy by the GOP

I watched Karl Rove on O'Reilly tonight. Topic was whether Republicans would take the Senate. Rove addressed how many seats had to be taken, in what order as polls closed, and he bemoaned the fact that Republicans could fall one or two seats short.

And if that happens there is NO ONE to blame except the entrenched Republican elite hierarachy who deemed -- in spite of the PEOPLES' edict -- the elite class deemed that Christine O'Donnell was not worthy of support.

Combine that asinine choice with the Senate minority leadership decision to not strip Lisa Murkowski of her senior committee positions if she challenged the will of the majority of Alaska's Republican voters by running as a write-in candidate.

Barack Obama may avoid Sikh temple on Asia visit over fears of being branded a Muslim

A VISIT by Barack Obama to the holiest of Sikh shrines may be cancelled because his advisers do not want the US President to wear a headscarf - fearing that it could fuel false rumours that he is a secret Muslim.

CLICK HERE for full Australian.com article.

Regardless of views about legitimacy... I will repeat a portion of an earlier post concerning Obama's cultural identity, from Once to Every Man and Nation. Apparently that post strikes a nerve, as it's received more antagonistic, juvenile and vulgar comments than any other on this blog.

But the president spent the most formative years of his childhood in the company of communists, invited into his home as beloved family members. He lived in a communist nation, Indonesia, still home to the largest muslim population in the world. His values do not align with those of most Americans; his cultural identity is not that of an American.

Can you imagine a controversy, concern or clamor over whether any other U. S. President would wear a headcovering in a Sikh (not muslim) temple? The confusion about this president's religion persists because of his actions, and lack thereof. From his affiliation and devotion to Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the tutelage of a communist mentor and Fellow Traveler mother, and his current affinity for the links vice the pews on Sunday mornings, his actions perpetuate the perception that he is not a Christian.

Remember in November!!!

The Left Calls this Hate Speech and "Lewd" -- What Part of the First Amendment Do They Not Understand?

Billboard depicting Obama as terrorist comes down.

nbc11news.com

From the article: Some argue that the image was not appropriate for public display. "If it offends people, you do have a certain obligation to take it down because little kids see that," says Crystal Kitzman, who says she thought the sign was lewd. End quoted text.

Definition of lewd (dictionary.com): lustful; wicked, vulgar, obscene. (merriam-webster.com): sexually unchaste or licentious; obscene, vulgar.

And as for her "if it offends people you have a certain obligation to take it down" comment.

Really. The liberal left movies, books, photos and characterization of President Bush offended me, and millions of other Americans. As did their treatment of Ronald Reagan and other conservative leaders.

As does their continued use of the extremely LEWD (vulgar, obscene) use of the pejorative "Tea Bagger" when referring to TEA Party activists who are simply exercising our right to free speech and freedom of assembly in the service of our Nation.

It also offends me that the liberal left has threatened violence upon the owner of the billboard and his wife, simply because "progressives" do not like the message.

Truth hurts, doesn't it? And it will hurt even more November 2, 2010 and November 6, 2012.

What Does Victory for the TEA Party Look Like?

The Center for American Heritage
by Jason E. High
October 6, 2010

By all accounts, Republicans are on track to make major gains in Congress in November. Disenfranchised with the Democrats and energized by the Tea Party movement, voters appear to be prepared to give the Republican party a chance at governing for a while. Thus, the pendulum swings once more.

The question that needs to be asked, however, is what does victory for the Tea Party actually look like? Is victory simply defeating as many Democrats as possible in the fall election? Every Tea Party member and activist that I've spoken with adamantly decries any attempt to paint the movement as affiliated with the Republican party. So defining victory as obtaining Republican majorities would seem to run counter to their core philosophy.

25 Minutes to Change America

GOPTrust raised $18,738 in twenty-four hours to help finalize this 25-minute film. The organization needs $25,000 to complete, that's just a bit over $6,000 more to get this on the airwaves. The excerpt above is powerful. We need to be able to make this, and the finished product, go viral.

Pence: "Congress Should Not Adjourn Until it Stops Tax Hikes On All Americans"

“Democrats are poised to embrace one of the largest tax increases in history in one of the worst economies in my lifetime and it must not stand.”

Washington, DC - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence, Chairman of the House Republican Conference, gave the following remarks on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives today:

“Mr. Speaker I rise in opposition to the Rule, not just for what’s in it, but for what’s not in it. This rule will allow a vote on three separate pieces of legislation, none of which will allow the Republicans or Democrats in Congress who support extending all current tax relief to have an up or down vote before we adjourn. The truth is, what’s happening in Washington, D.C., this week is just unconscionable.

Democrats are putting their politics over your prosperity."

“The economic policies of this administration have failed. Fifteen million Americans are unemployed, millions more have given up even looking for work, but now Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat majority want to impose one of the largest tax increases in our country’s history on job creators in less than 100 days. And they won’t even allow a vote on the floor to extend all tax relief."

“Mr. Speaker, raising taxes on job creators won’t create jobs, but Democrats are poised to embrace one of the largest tax increases in history in one of the worst economies in my lifetime and it must not stand. The American people deserve to know—Washington Democrats are putting saving their jobs ahead of saving yours."

“Mr. Speaker, higher taxes won’t get anybody hired. Congress must not vote to adjourn, we must not leave this chamber before we permit a fair and open, up or down vote to prevent higher taxes on any American in January of next year. House Republicans say, ‘no extension of all tax relief for every American, no adjournment.’”

Nov 2 Voting, Candidates, and Judges Pages Published

Please visit our three newest pages: Nov 2 Voting, Conservative Candidates and Conservative Judges. As a TEA Party Patriot group, Patriots 28560 does not endorse candidates. We do, however, strive to inform voters of candidates whose values most align with our TEA Party Patriots Core Values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and Free Markets.

In many cases, voters of Craven County do not have a choice, there are no conservatives on the ballot. We MUST change this by the next election cycle. We do indicate where we have presented incomplete information and ask that you email any insights you may have that will impact our candidate lists.

Judges increasingly determine what constraints will be placed upon our liberty and rights as Americans. You MUST vote for individual judges, a party line vote does NOT include judges. We urge you to vote for conservative judges who can help restore our adherence to the Constitution and preserve our Republic through case law and a strong commitment to States Rights.

A reminder to all candidates:

We WILL hold our newly elected officials to a high standard, a standard that includes voting in accordance with our Core Values and always for what is best for our Nation. Not what is best for a particular voting block, constituency, special interest group, ability to deliver "pork" to North Carolina or to Craven County. We are tired of business as usual. True change is sweeping the Nation and will manifest in the November 2 election.

We will not rest, we will not go away, we will not allow our newly elected officials to renege on campaign promises. If they do, they will serve one-term and We the People will recruit true Constitutional Conservatives to represent us at the city, county, state and federal levels.

Both Parties Actually Believe We're Going Away

Propaganda, Placement and Persuasion

There's a relatively new billboard that I pass by almost daily. Its colors are washed out, the style is reminiscent of the 1930s WPA (Works Progress Adminstration) government posters and government-sponsored artwork. Apparently it resonates with the public, because Verizon Mobile has launched a new graphic, titled Rule the Air in a style that could be mistaken for WPA art.

Both ad campaigns disturb me in their simplicity and ties to another era, an era of desperation, cemented by a determination that only the federal government could provide the solution.

Obama Plans Ad Attack upon the TEA Party

Click HERE for New Yorks Times article.

The White House is considering national advertisements depicting TEA Party members as extremists in an effort to energize its base. This following Obama's remarks to an entirely black coalition this weekend, urging members to "Protect the Change." We hear accusations of racism constantly, yet Obama and his surrogates are always the ones who see -- and USE -- color as a weapon of derision and division.

As a co-founder of Patriots 28560, a TEA Party group, I can attest to having the great privilege of meeting nothing but polite, kind, compassionate and concerned fellow citizens. Always respectful of others and of our great Founders and Founding Documents. And always passionate.

If the White House pursues this stategy, of attack upon The TEA Party and by extension, an attack upon you and I, average citizens who simply want to guarantee the future of our great Nation, if the democratic political machine adopts this orchestrated, negative campaign... then they will be cementing their loss of both Houses of Congress November 2.

"This election is nothing less than a referendum of our identity as a nation and as a people," Rubio said, calling 2010 an historic moment "when people were pushed to the brink." When he complained of go-along-to-get-along Republican politicians, people in the audience chimed in, "That's right."

Drudge Headline: Obama Goes to Church!

Link to article here.

Amazing how far we've come in less than two years... that the simple act of the President attending church merits a headline on The Drudge Report. Internal polling must be off-the-charts and his handlers have orchestrated a last-minute, mid-term election realignment strategy to try and save "The Brand." Good luck with that one (not).

NRSC Chairman Cornyn’s Statement On Delaware Senate Race
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 @ 11:09 AM

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), released the following statement regarding the Delaware Senate race:

“Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee – and I personally as the committee’s chairman – strongly stand by all of our Republican nominees, including Christine O’Donnell in Delaware.

Principles, or Politics as Usual? NRSC Refuses to Support O'Donnell

I watched Karl Rove on Hannity last night and was disgusted by his pettiness, petulance, and political deafness when discussing the repercussions of Christine O'Donnell's (Delaware) primary win last night.

How dare the political elites of the Republican party try and negate "We the People's" choice in a Republican primary.

How dare they empower the opponents of our founding principles and Constitution by employing the same politics of division and class warfare that are used to such effect by the party currently in power.

How dare they withhold Republican funding from a duly elected Republican candidate when those funds were solicited from  Republican donors.

How dare they run a certifiable northeastern RINO, who voted for Cap and Trade, voted for the Stimulus Package, voted for legislation that would have allowed for the investigation and impeachment of President George W. Bush... then after trying to hobble us with such a candidate, accuse US of being the cause of their predictions of loss in the general election.

How dare they present an aged insider as "change" for Delaware and for our Nation. Those who read this blog know I have the greatest respect for my elders, for our Greatest Generation, for the experience gained by age. But this year, this election, the specter of the aged Castle, shuffling toward the camera in one widely played video, Castle's image conjures a Nation in decline.

And how dare they roll out the same old tired, fear-mongering mantra of "If you vote on principle, you'll never gain the majority. It's better to elect a Republican and have the majority, then work to effect change from that position of power."

Because we all know that's worked so well with Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe. Conservatives can count on those two Castle-mold RINOs to support the Constitution, to block socialist Supreme Court nominees, and to interpret the General Welfare Clause in favor of We the People rather than We the Statists. Yes, of course, conservatives should have absolutely bowed to the Republican elites' choice of candidate.

I have already donated to Christine O'Donnell's campaign. 

I have donated to many candidates over this primary season, bypassing the NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) and GOP and empowering individual candidates directly. I will make my voice heard beyond North Carolina, with my cash, with my time, and with this blog.

I consider every Republican attack on a conservative, Constitutionalist candidate to be an attack on MY values, MY choices, and MY determination to turn our Nation back to its founding principles.

Stand firm on principles and our Nation wins in November.

911 Observance -- Patriot Day

While the focus on this ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks should be upon those who perished, and their loved ones who go on alone, Americans must never forget the events of 911. And never forget the perpetrators target us still.

I was in New York City the week before the attack, for a marketing conference. On Sunday, September 9, I took the opportunity to sightsee, making the Circle Line Tour to Ellis Island and visiting Lady Liberty. I chose to walk back to my hotel, traveling through the shadows of the World Trade Center Twin Towers. Two days later I watched in horror as the terrorists found their targets.

I returned to the City early November and walked from Grand Central Station to Ground Zero. There were literally thousands of us, heading south, preferring to walk rather than take a taxi. We were sharing where we were from and where we were the day of the attacks. The mood was respectful and reserved, quiet, but still conversational.

As we moved closer to Ground Zero we could smell the odor of burnt... everything. Our conversations quieted. When we got within a few blocks, we began to see manhole covers blown off, debris, destruction. All conversation stopped. Many wept openly, including me. It was hard to breathe, and not just because of the smell and heaviness of the air.

Somewhere between Grand Central and Ground Zero we changed from Americans visiting the site of our Nation's worst attack since Pearl Harbor... to Americans making a pilgrimage to show respect to those who perished.

American Arrogance or American Exceptionalism

It's not Memorial Day, or Veterans' Day, or Armed Forces Day. But there is an email going around entitled American Arrogance and embedded with still images of American cemeteries overseas. Photos available here on another Patriots blog.

My father was a WWII veteran, Army Air Corps -- B24 ball turret gunner with over 50 missions, flying out of Benghazi, Libya -- he went on to retire from the United States Air Force. We were stationed in France in the '60s and my earliest memories are of visiting American cemeteries to honor those who never came home. My uncle's name is inscribed on the Tablets of the Missing, North Africa American Cemetery, Carthage, Tunisia.

You can search the American Battlefield Monuments Commission database by clicking here.

So why am I writing this now?

Because I've visited almost all the American cemeteries in France, Belgium and The Netherlands, as a child, and as an adult. I've been humbled by the sheer numbers of graves and by the many, many people, of all nationalities, who visit to also pay tribute. I've stood in silence in The Hague as an entire nation came to a stop to honor their American liberators.

And I've had to watch and listen and endure an American President who, in superb arrogance, has traveled the world offering apologies for our Nation.

Vote. Become engaged. Because we are an exceptional Nation, a Nation of exceptional heroes. We cannot let the sacrifice of our Greatest Generation, and of all those heroes who have served, and serve still... we cannot let their sacrifice be  in vain.

Our path back begins November 2.

City Council May Pull Plug on Muslim Prayer Idea

City Council May Pull Plug on Muslim Prayer Idea
By BOB CONNORS
Updated 4:32 PM EDT, Wed, Sep 8, 2010

The Hartford City Council is reconsidering its proposal to have local imams perform Islamic invocations at the beginning of council meetings in September.

Council President rJo Winch called a news conference Wednesday to address the uproar over the proposal she supported Tuesday.

In an email sent out by the City Council on Tuesday called the plan "an act of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters."

But since a story was posted on NBCConnecticut.com, Winch and other council members said they have received numerous complaints and even some hate emails over the decision to begin the meetings with Muslim prayers.

"Where is the separation between church and state?," wrote one anonymous reader. "Why not an act of solidarity with your New York City American brothers and sisters who were attacked on 9/11?," wrote another.

The email from the City Council referenced the ongoing battle over a proposed mosque in New York. "One of the goals of the Council is to give a voice to the many diverse peoples of the City, which is especially important given the recent anti-Islam events throughout the country," the email read.

Although the council does say a prayer before every meeting, Winch says she's reconsidering the idea of the Muslim prayers so close to the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. She instead said she would consider an interfaith prayer before next Monday's meeting.

"There might be 20 different faiths there on that day because, I understand his position, we have to understand we live in a multicultural city and there are 125,000 residents here so we don't want to have anyone be offended," Winch said.

That idea, however didn't sit well with Council Minority Leader Luis Cotto, the council member who originally made the proposal to ask the imams to perform the invocations. Cotto said he had no problem with the timing of the proposal. "I thought that doing this in September or at the next meeting, which happens to be September, makes sense, and I still do," Cotto said.

Local Islamic leaders were also not happy about Winch's apparent backtracking. "We feel as though it would be a step backwards because it would be labeling me as part of the problem that took place on 9/11 and we had nothing to do with that," Imam Kashif Abdul-Karim said. Abdul-Karim was scheduled to perform the invocation at the Sept. 13 City Council meeting.

He said he plans to be at City Hall Monday to say the prayer.

Hartford City Council Meetings to Begin with Muslim Prayers

City Council Meetings to Begin with Muslim Prayers

Hartford, CT

In the wake of the battle over a mosque at Ground Zero, a move by Hartford City Council is sure to have its critics.

The Council announced Tuesday that it has invited local imams to perform Islamic invocations at the beginning of the Council meetings in September.

Though meetings don't regularly begin with any form of prayer, an email from the Common Council called it "an act of solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters."

The email even referenced the ongoing issue in New York. "One of the goals of the Council is to give a voice to the many diverse peoples of the City, which is especially important given the recent anti-Islam events throughout the country."

Council President rJo Winch called it an important move for the Council. "I feel it is very important that, as a Council, we project a culture of inclusiveness in the City of Hartford. Too often it is our differences that divide us. In my opinion, it is our combination of differences that makes us strong," Winch said.

The City of Hartford website prominently displays a "Hartford 375 Years" logo. If they welcome Sharia law, they won't survive another 10. And every move like this, by any state, county, or city, sets a legal precedent that will allow judges to legislate from the bench and extend that precedent to every American, regardless of our location.

MANNA FROM HEAVEN: WEST VIRGINIA SENATE SEAT

By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
September 2, 2010

Having failed us in life, Robert Byrd is apparently going to help us to limit government spending after his demise. He has accomplished this postmortem feat by opening up his Senate seat in time to be included in the deluge that is approaching in the November, 2010 election.

When Byrd died, Democrats confidently expected West Virginia's popular governor - Joe Manchin (pronounced mansion) - to win the seat handily. When Republican John Raese (pronounced racy) jumped into the race, few were surprised and none bothered to recalculate the GOP's chances. While Raese is wealthy and inclined to spend heavily to win, he had been soundly defeated by Byrd in 2006 for the same seat.

Now comes the first poll in the race by Scott Rasmussen and the results are going to send shockwaves throughout the country. Manchin leads Raese by only 48-42! What makes these numbers so significant is that Manchin has a job approval as governor of 70%. So more than a third of those who like him as Governor, don't want him to be the Senator. Why not? The answer is simple: Barack Obama.

Candidates Running Against Senator Richard Burr for the U.S. Senate

Democrat Elaine Marshall
Born in Lineboro, Maryland
Employment: Current N.C. Secretary of State
Education: B.S. Textiles and Clothing, University of Maryland
J.D. Degree, Campbell University

USA Today said Elaine Marshall campaigned as a liberal insurgent against Cal Cunningham (D), the choice of the Washington Democrat establishment, in the Democrat primary for the U.S. Senate. She has been lauded by Progressives and is supported by MoveOn.org. "I'd love to have Obama in here," she told The Daily Beast, an opinion web site. "Anytime he comes into the state and can see what's going on, North Carolina is better for it." According to The Daily Beast, Marshall is "offering an unabashed embrace of much of President Obama's agenda--calling for more federal stimulus spending--at a time when many Democrats are running away from the White House as fast as they can."

Like Obama, Marshall believes in a redistribution of income. Marshall is excited about nationalized ObamaCare and her web site states, "The passed health insurance reform puts our budget and economy on a more stable path by reducing the deficit by $100 billion over the next ten years--and about $1 trillion over the second decade--by cutting government overspending and reining in waste, fraud and abuse." (Her beliefs sound eerily similar to those of Senator Kay Hagan, and the direct opposite to those of Senator Richard Burr.)

A Patriot's Report for the Restoring Honor Rally

Good morning all:

I joined 49 others of the local Tea Party organization, "Patriots 28560" for the 8 hour bus trip to Glenn Beck's rally on the mall in Washington. The crowd was spectacular and was the largest assembly I have ever seen. They were literally packed from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument. The estimates I have heard vary form 300,000 to 500,000. We were told that 50 busses were from eastern NC (Raleigh to the coast).

October 2
TEA Party at Little Washington
Washington, NC Waterfront

From the Organizers (Patriots 28560 is supporting, please join us!):

Several TEA Party groups are coming together on Oct. 2nd at the waterfront in "Little Washington" for a super TEA Party rally. The hope is that we get a huge crowd and therefore can command some really good speakers and get a lot of press coverage.

Oval Office Occupant

From Dreams of My Father "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites." "I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race." "There was something about her that made me wary, a little too sure of herself, maybe and white."

"It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names." "I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

From The Audacity of Hope "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Debt Free America Act (HR 4646) Proposes a 1% Transaction Fee

What the terrorists can't accomplish with violence, their sympathizers will destroy from within.

Debt Free America Act (HR 4646)
Introduced by Rep Chaka Fattah, (D. PA)

H.R. 4646 would impose a 1 percent “transaction tax” on every financial transaction — whether paid by cash, credit card or any form of financial transfer, the only exception being transactions involving the purchase or sale of stock. Theoretically, everyone would pay one cent on the dollar for every such transaction in America every day — whether $3 million on a $300 million business acquisition, $300 on the purchase of a $30,000 car, or $5 on a $500 ATM withdrawal.

Fantastic! Bet they won't let Glenn come back again. Too much God... Faith, Hope, Charity. Scripture.

Wish I was there, but at least can watch live. Facebook live link in left column.

HUGE Turnout Reports one of our Attendees. Sharpton Rally has 20-30 in Attendance!

Just got a call from one of our Rally attendees. He says the entire Mall from Lincoln Memorial back to the Washington Monument is full and spilling out to the sides. And that they walked past a group of Al Sharpton protestors that totaled 20-30, at most. But to be fair, their rally doesn't start for a few hours. They'll still be lucky to garner more than a few thousand and that's being charitable.

Our friend who called has people around him from Pennsylvania, from the local area and from as far away as San Jose, California. Hope to get photos up soon, don't forget to watch the LIVE Stream on Facebook, link left column.

Bus Has Arrived at RFK Stadium

They made great time, voted to pass on the breakfast stop since everyone had brought a breakfast as well as sack lunch. My sister has been texting and calling me with updates. And it's a good thing they decided to get in as early as possible because one of the DC Metro lines that serves RFK Stadium to the Mall area is down for scheduled maintenance. The Blue line is down with two trains sharing the same track and massive delays.

So... there are hundreds in their group, walking down C Street to Pennsylvania Avenue (not the best of areas, but safety in numbers and there are police along the way) then to the Mall. They should be safely on Pennsylvania Avenue by now and those who need to, will take a break at the Capitol building before heading towards the Lincoln Memorial.

At risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist -- why scheduled maintenance today? Why are the elevators at Union Station listed as out-of-service for replacement? Why was this not posted earlier? I've been tracking the Metro status with a Droid app for weeks. Wonder what they have in store for us 912?

Headed to Restoring Honor Rally but No Live Blogging

Our group got underway at exactly 12:14 a.m. this morning. We got to the parking area at 11:30 and all but two families were already there! Meeting time was 11:30 - to midnight, so we had a very, very motivated group. Everyone as kind and thoughtful in person as they've been in our emails and phone calls.

But... I am sick with a sinus infection, fever and blood pressure is sky high. Saw my doctor today who said "No" to me going at least two dozen times. Which was about 18 more than his "No's" for me going to 912 last year. I'll admit that I was still planning to go, but felt absolutely awful come 11 p.m. with blood pressure still very high. That was the determining factor and with my sister ready to take over bus captain duties, I actually exercised good judgement and did not go. But just to make certain, Jason made me leave my pack and water at the house. He knew when I met everyone and saw the bus, that I'd change my mind and go. He was right, as usual.

So we got everyone checked in, went over what to expect, asked for questions (there were none, this group is fantastic!), offered a short prayer and everyone boarded and were underway on time. Photos below. Will update throughout the morning. Disappointment at not being with our group at the Rally is palpable. But there in spirit, like everyone reading this blog Saturday--

Tea Party Group Hit With Death Threats

Washington Whispers
Posted: August 25, 2010

One of Washington's principal supporters of the Tea Party movement, former GOP Majority Leader Dick Armey's FreedomWorks, has been receiving death threats and profanity-laced phone calls as it gets involved in the fall elections. The number and intensity have reached such heights that the organization is leaving its downtown location near the FBI and moving to a high-security building near the U.S. Capitol.

"FreedomWorks and Dick Armey receive dozens of threatening and harassing calls and E-mails each day. Many imply violence and use of weapons," spokesman Adam Brandon tells Whispers. "As we get closer to the election we expect the harassment to increase."

TEST for Saturday's LIVE BLOGGING

I'll be blogging live for our trip to the Restoring Honor rally. This is a test post from my Droid. Had a Blackberry when I blogged the Code Red Rally last year. Will test the YouTube capability next. Please share this link and help us cover the rally since the MSM won't even mention.

UPDATE: Just uploaded a one-minute test video to our Patriots 28560 YouTube channel (deleted if you decide to look for it) and it took 10 minutes to upload. Will try to publish videos Saturday, but with so many people planning to do the same, I may have to wait and publish when we get home.

States Take Preemptive Strike Against Shariah

Written by Joe Wolverton, II
Wednesday, 18 August 2010 14:20
The New American

Wary of the increasing influence of Shariah law and its international adherents, lawmakers in several states are taking preemptive measures to protect their jurisprudence and infrastructure from what they see as the frightening ascendancy of a pernicious dogma.

In Louisiana, for example, the state legislature passed, and Governor Bobby Jindal (left) signed into law, Act 714, the so-called “American and Louisiana Laws for Louisiana Courts.” The law’s co-authors, state Representative Ernest Wooton and state Senator Danny Martin, cite the attempts by Muslim immigrants to cite tenets of Shariah law in courts across the nation as the impetus for enactment of the new legislation.

Shariah, which means “path” in Arabic, is the sacred law of Islam. The precepts of Shariah have two sources: the Koran and the writings of Mohammed. Shariah is the code that is responsible for the stoning of adulteresses; the caning of rape victims; and the restrictions on dress, rights of inheritance, and marital status of women. Institutional acceptance of this legal code has expanded rapidly, and frightfully to some, in Europe. The government of the United Kingdom, for example, has established five Shariah courts to settle disputes among Muslims. It is this level of deference that opponents on this side of the pond are seeking to avoid.

Support for RADICAL Islam

I have been focusing on filling the Havelock bus for the Restoring Honor Rally. But I cannot let the latest Cordoba (Obamamosque) Controversy go uncovered. The building of the mosque -- and Obama's support for such (using the red herring of "religious freedom" as cover) they can build ANYWHERE, why so close to Ground Zero -- Obama's support is an outrage. A capitulation to tyranny. The beginning of a chain of events that will provide radical islam a foothold to commit even more atrocities in the heart of New York City.

From AP Coverage:

At a dinner Friday celebrating the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Mr. Obama said Muslims have a right, as a matter of religious freedom, to build a religious center near Ground Zero. "Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country," he said to applause.

On Saturday, the president said, "I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque" near Ground Zero, he told reporters during a visit to the Gulf Coast. "I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding."

Later Saturday, White House spokesman Bill Burton said the president wasn't backtracking. "The president is not backing off in any way from the comments he made last night," he said. He had no further comment on Sunday.

---------------------

It is not coincidental that the mosque's name, Cordoba House, takes after the city in southern Spain that marked one of radical Islam's greatest conquests in Europe during the Middle Ages. Cordoba was a major center in the global caliphate being erected by the rampaging Islamists of the time - the very caliphate that Osama bin Laden and his allies seek to restore. A giant mosque was built upon the ruins of a Catholic church. For Islamists, erecting mosques on defeated territories is a sign of subjugation - the submission of infidels to Allah's rule.

Calling all Tea Partiers, Join Congresswoman Michele Bachmann for a National Tele-Townhall

Bachmann Calls for Nancy Pelosi To Enter 12 Step Program For Her Addiction To Job-Killing Spending

Tele-Town Hall is TONIGHT at 6 p.m. Central.

With Nancy Pelosi’s declaration that Congress will be reconvening to authorize billions of dollars of spending the government doesn’t have, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann announced she will be holding a National Tea Party Tele-Townhall to listen to the response of the American people.

“Nancy Pelosi has already spent over $3.6 trillion on so-called ‘stimulus’ spending and now she wants to give in excess of $20 billion to politicians to spend on even more big government,” Congresswoman Bachmann said. “She is clearly addicted to spending other people’s money and is rushing members of Congress back to Washington to get a spending fix. Could it be she wanted to ensure she has distributed taxpayer-subsidized ‘walking around money’ to public employee unions across the country prior to the election to desperately try to save her already endangered majority? The same public employee unions which will provide the boots on the ground to re-elect a Democrat majority in the mid-term elections, where Speaker Pelosi’s grip on the gavel is in serious doubt?”

“After only a few days away from D.C., Democrats in Congress are determined to not let even a week go by without spending additional billions of dollars for even more big government programs. That’s why I’ll be joining with other leaders to hold a National Tea Party Tele-Townhall to listen to Americans who have had enough of the out-of-control spending and endless tax increases.”

People interested in participating in the National Tea Party Tele-Townhall on Monday, August 9 at 6 pm central – the same time Pelosi will be convening Congress - can sign up HERE. Over one million people will be invited to participate, and is expected to be the largest tele-townhall ever held by members of Congress

An August Surprise from Obama?

Supposedly done to help families who are underwater in their mortgages. An obvious political move to save the House and Senate in November. Article states that the political gamble is that more grateful voters will go to the polls and vote dem than outraged voters who will vote for our CONSTITUTION AND COUNTRY!

And if the obama administration wants to help people with mortgages, etc., then CUT TAXES and grow the economy; put people back to work. Quit taking OUR money, sending it to Washington, then back to the states, counties, cities. We send up one dollar and get back ten cents.

Silent No More. Remember in November. Recycle Government.

An August Surprise from Obama?
Aug 5, 2010 00:26 EDT
James Pethokoukis, Reuters

Main Street may be about to get its own gigantic bailout. Rumors are running wild from Washington to Wall Street that the Obama administration is about to order government-controlled lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to forgive a portion of the mortgage debt of millions of Americans who owe more than what their homes are worth. An estimated 15 million U.S. mortgages – one in five – are underwater with negative equity of some $800 billion. Recall that on Christmas Eve 2009, the Treasury Department waived a $400 billion limit on financial assistance to Fannie and Freddie, pledging unlimited help. The actual vehicle for the bailout could be the Bush-era Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP, a sister program to Obama’s loan modification effort. HARP was just extended through June 30, 2011.
