Ten for ’10!
Thanks, Laura…awesome petition!
TEN FOR ’10: WINNING WASHINGTON BY EMPOWERING AMERICANS1. Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights (TABOR). Limit federal spending growth to the percentage in population growth plus the rate of inflation; provide taxpayers the option of filing a post-card sized return using a low, flat tax rate of 15%
2. End Tax-funded abortions. Stop federal payments to Planned Parenthood and prohibit any taxpayer-subsidized health insurance plan from covering abortion
3. Defend American Borders. Complete America’s border-protection initiatives using remaining funds from the so-called stimulus bill
4. King Dollar. Preserve a strong dollar so that Americans’ savings aren’t wiped out by inflation and the U.S. dollar remains the world’s reserve currency
5. Empower American Business. Immediately slash corporate tax rates to 15% and scrap the capital-gains tax altogether
6. Defend America. Strengthen America to defend our homeland and fully fund an operational, layered missile-defense system
7. Statism Exit Plan. De-fund czars; immediately cease bailout payments to failed companies; ban future bailouts
8. End Generational Theft. As few believe America’s entitlement programs will be able to pay benefits to future generations, provide younger workers the choice of diverting payroll/Social Security taxes into personal retirement accounts
9. Restore America’s System of Justice. Introduce penalties for frivolous lawsuits, where those who launch unsuccessful lawsuits are liable for the defendants’ legal bills
10. American Energy Independence. All-of-the-Above strategy that embraces alternatives, expands and accelerates exploration and production of oil and natural gas, and jumpstarts dramatic increases in nuclear power.

DC Tea Party
Saw a webcam as folks were walking to the rally…it was awesome. SOOOO many people.
Here’s a still shot:
And another:
I wish I was there. Actually, I wish Obama was there. It’s so cowardly and weak of him to NOT be there, in town and at least SEE how many of us don’t want this kind of CHANGE. Cowardly, weak and sooooooooo TYPICAL. I would have had so much more respect for him had he been man enough to stay and hear what the other half or better of the PEOPLE he works for think! But, once again, he has proven me right to distrust him and his lies and his Czars [Hey! You can be a Czar, too!] and his party [Democrat, Liberal, Socialist, Communist...take your pick] and his motives.
I would have loved to be here, but we are having a Tea Party on Twitter. Join us! Well done, people!!
One Down…
Who resigns at midnight on a Saturday night? Van Jones, I guess…
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me. They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide. I have been inundated with calls – from across the political spectrum — urging me to ‘stay and fight.’ But I came here to fight for others, not for myself. I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past. We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.”
Such a jerk. Typical radical left bullcrap. Let me break it down for him…
“On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me.” Really? After all the video of you spouting your mouth off with hate filled and RACIST comments made as recently as March of this year, you actually think this is a smear campaign? Better get that board outta your own eye first…ASSHOLE. So typical.
“They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.” Isn’t that a page out of your playbook? I love how it’s ok when you folks use lies and distortions and even racist slurs, but when we someone shows a video of comments you made yourself, it’s lies and distortions. Typical.
“I have been inundated with calls – from across the political spectrum — urging me to ‘stay and fight.’” Sure you have. You’ve had calls from your radical buddies saying, “Don’t let those republican, white assholes get you down! Who cares about the truth!? We have an agenda!” Across the political spectrum is a huge stretch, I bet. Oh, but again…typical.
“But I came here to fight for others, not for myself.” Um, it sure looked like you were enjoying yourself at those speeches…repeating everything twice and ripping white people, Christians and Republicans every chance you got. I think you loved the spotlight and the power…I think it was a lot for yourself and the glory. But you say whatever you think you can sell. That’s typical.
“I cannot in good conscience ask my colleagues to expend precious time and energy defending or explaining my past.” You have a conscience? That’s comforting. You probably felt so bad about all the people you smeared in your speeches in your “past”…when was that again? Oh, yeah…just THIS YEAR! Typical.
“We need all hands on deck, fighting for the future.” Well, I can say that we hope to divide on that score. I hope we can divide the truly radical, hateful uber-liberals from the semi reasonable left-of-center moderates who thought “Change” automatically meant “for the better”…I’m pretty sure they are starting to see a glimmer of light at this point. That’s not typical, but we can always hope…right?
So, Mr. Jones, farewell. It’s been interesting getting to know you. Very enlightening, insulting at times, but you showed us your true color isn’t really green, after all…is it?
Tea Party Express
I have a lot of opinions. This much is obvious. But usually I spout them here, on FB or yell them at the TV. I hate confrontation, for the most part…a by product of a family who never got along, I guess.
So, I have been to exactly two political rallies in my whole life.
The first, was when we marched on Sacramento’s State Capitol to calmly, but loudly request the removal of Gray Davis as Governor of California.
The second…today…was a Tea Party in Dallas, TX. It was an awesome thing. Let me make clear: NO ONE paid me. NO ONE called me to ask me to be there. NO ONE told me what to say. I wore this:
…because I truly feel like I am not allowed to have an opinion in this country unless I am following the sheeple on the left. Of course, if I were a sheeple, maybe I would be given free lunch and paid about $10 an hour for my time on the bus, and to stand with my professionally printed signs and yell predetermined chants supporting something I really don’t even understand, because that’s how this administration wants it. “Close your eyes, and just walk forward…of course we’ll TELL you if you’re in any danger. We’re here to help you…trust us…truuuust us.”
But I am NOT a sheeple. I agree with some things the left is always screaming about. I recycle. I drive a hybrid. I use a water filter instead of bottled water. I want more responsible care for the earth. But you know what? WE don’t have control of that in the WHOLE world. We keep sending jobs overseas…where they don’t give a crap whether they can breathe the air or not, cuz they just wear a mask everywhere anyhow. The left wants to support every country BUT our own. Our textbooks all paint the people involved in US history as a horrible, native slaughtering, slave beating bunch of white men. And many parents don’t bother to read what their kids are being taught or teach them anything themselves, so of course, we have raised a whole generation or three of America hating liberal sheeple. But not me.
I spoke to lots of people today. Surprisingly, no one was being paid to be there. No one I spoke to had been called or asked to come to the party. They saw it was coming, felt a desire to show support and came…on their own. They waved flags…instead of burning them. They sang songs of patriotism and listened to speakers without any rioting, fighting or disruption…except maybe of traffic. There were a lot of people there. Old, young, male, female, many different political parties, veterans in wheelchairs and folks in work clothes, obviously taking time for the rally during a long lunch break. In many cases, like, my own, they parked 10-12 blocks away from the event and walked to the rally…then walked back afterwards. No buses for us. And that’s OK. There was very little to see in the way of opposition, so my friends’ fears of me getting into an altercation, get digits bitten off or end up in jail were all for naught. This time.
I’m not sure it will be safe to go the next time. The ‘communications czar’ [Diversity Czar for the FCC] is a big fan of the Chavez regime, and government takeover of all communications. Who knows what our right to gather will be taken away. But I will go anyway. Don’t get me wrong. I am truly afraid of this administration. This is not the usual day at the beach in the Clinton White House, and it sure as heck isn’t Jimmy Carter. It’s going to be a scary time, this next year or 3. But if we stick to the truth, if we can keep our eyes open and our antenna up for lies…we might be able to get past this and make things right again. Watch and pray, people.
And if you can, go find a Tea Party and express your disgust for this administration and your hope for common sense, positive change.
