Tax Day Tea Parties Abound!

What a day! Both proud and sad, as hundreds of thousands of patriotic Americans, labeled 'domestic terrorists' by Obama administration's DHS Secretary Napolitano, flocked to more than 700 cities today for mass demonstrations of patriotism and concern for their country. Watching FNC coverage of San Antonio, Atlanta, DC and New York rallies brought not tingles down the leg, but a pounding of the heart as we saw so many Americans come out to exercise their first amendment rights under their Constitution. From Atlas Shrugs, Colonel Allen B. West writes:

I have just finished reading Secretary Napolitano’s office declaring that, “the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks”.As well, this report cites, “returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists, who will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities”.Align these statements with Barack Hussein Obama’s intentions to have wounded war veterans use private health insurance and you see the contempt this administration holds for those who protect and defend this Republic. We have an administration which declares we cannot call radical Islamic terrorists “enemy combatants”. We can no longer speak of a war on terror, only overseas contingency operations. However, this administration issues a report demonizing our heroic vets as potential terrorists and extremists! Perhaps those Navy SEAL snipers should be made aware that they are considered potential terrorists because of the skills they exhibited to save an American citizen. Oh by the way, a citizen held hostage by Muslim pirates, can you say Barbary? Jefferson sent the US Marines, what shall dear fearful leader Obama do?

Back to the report which contains countless references singling out returning war veterans as particular threats. Not only that, this report admonishes law enforcement to watch out for individuals with “radical” ideologies based on Christian views such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion, and federal taxes. Indeed, this report decries anyone who is concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion, and the loss of US sovereignty. In other words this means anyone holding conservative principles in opposition to left wing liberal socialist policies is a threat.

The article in its entirety is located one click away from the link at the top of this quote.

Atlas Shrugs's Pam Geller, who will appear on this Monday's "The Dame Truth" has done a fine job of covering not only the world at large and the ever growing threat of Islamic Ideology but the Tea Parties, is a champion of truth, First Amendment rights and American Patriotism, attending New York's Tea Party and reporting on many others with terrific photos, while Purple People Vote resonates what is undoubtedly the majority of Americans, no longer silent about their plight in sad state of affairs they once called Government.

In other news, this writer attended Mike Morgan's [of Lennar fame] web conference earlier today to learn more about his GoldmanSachs initiative--a brilliant attorney, investment advisor and activist, we can expect to hear more about his pledge to investigate and bring to justice the perpetrators of the Goldman Sachs heist.

What does all this mean? It means that Americans are indeed 'Mad as Hell and...not going to take it anymore." It means that the 99% who believe that the Tea Party Movement will continue to build with force are committed and passionate about their love of country and their belief that government should work FOR and BY the People. It means that we, as Americans, are at the tipping point, much as the French at the dawn of the Revolution there. Let the People speak, or let the tumbrils roll. It's up to you folks. Oh, and by the way, GE's NBC, Jeff Zucker and CNN--take heed. You're not in control. WE, the American People are, and always have been.

Beware the Ides of March...American Patriotism Lives

On this 15th day of March in 44 B.C. , Julius Caesar was stabbed to death in the senate house by a group of conspirators led by Cimber, Casca, Cassius, and Marcus Junius Brutus. A famous day in world history and memorialized in literature, two of the event's oft quoted phrases continue to permeate our speech today. "Beware the Ides of March," and "Et tu Brutus" remain as, respectively, a warning of great weight and an ultimate retort from one downed in defeat. Patriots all, one group decided Ceasar had gone too far and needed to be stopped.

Dr. Orly Taitz and Glenn Beck rocked our week on Friday the 13th with supreme acts of patriotism and courage. Like those Boston tea tossers and Roman senators, each has decided enough was enough, distinguishing themselves with mind blowing, gut wrenching, heart touching acts demonstrating to Americans and to the world that love of Country trumps all. They remind us by their actions that no sacrifice for their country is too great, especially in times like these, when so many transgressions against it and its Constitution are being perpetrated by so few, unbeknownst to so many.

Glenn Beck's The912 Project was nothing short of breathtaking, as the torrent of watchers flooded the site, shutting it down for many hours. Reminding us
who we are as Americans, what our priorities must be, and what we must do to preserve and protect the country we love, he and his guests touched our hearts with stories of love and caring for our country, families and friends.

Of particular note, and that with which I shall leave you this morning, is Dr. Orly Taitz's own account of her own
"Midnight Ride" from California to Idaho, to hear Chief Justice Roberts speak, and implore him to read the papers one of the SCOTUS clerks apparently refused to file and distribute in their entirety.
Contrary to the negative implications in an account by AP staff "reporter", Nicholas Geranios, Justice Roberts agreed to read the papers, which were accepted by one of Roberts's security people. Reading the scurrillous excuse for reporting filed by Geranios, which appeared, among other places, in the Seattlepi, blood and bile begin to rise as ignorance, derision and bias collaborate to discredit his entire piece. Having following this case and many others closely since their inception, I know that Geranios's account was such an inanity as to be laughable, while Taitz's passion, commitment and fortitude remain living testimony to the definition of an American patriot as much as the courage of our forefathers, our troops and our people. Cross posted below, with fervent thanks to Dr. Orly and her blog post is her account. Remember that this is the same Orly Taitz that drove 3 hours to stand in line for several more at a Scalia book signing in order to speak with him.
Et tu Brutus.
