Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : Tea Parties

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 03:16:53 +0000

OK, jrcMT and sallietoo, you both have it wrong. Glenn Beck has created this 9.12 site and invites us to use it to share our frustrations, anger and ideas. He hasn't said that you can't vent about Obama. But he has said it's bigger than that. Don't you remember what it was like on 9.12 or have you already forgotten? We weren't about party we were about people. You are not the only ones on here getting caught up in party politics and I understand that. Until I went to CPAC I thought I was a Republican but now I know I'm a libertarian or conservative and I understand the difference. I'm currently reading Ron Paul's "The Revolution" and understanding more and more what the founders set before us. PLEASE, get your collective heads out of your butts and read, read, read, and finally know what you stand for. Then come back here and contribute your ideas. We don't need anyone bashing our host, Glenn Beck. He didn't need to provide this site. The teaparties are, of course, your events. He's just stating that he won't be attending or lending support because he doesn't make it about party. Everyone is to blame, most importantly, we, the people, for getting us to this point! Get your facts before you criticize. And calm down. In our frustration and excitement to "DO SOMETHING" we're starting to "eat our own." Not a very productive way to begin a war.

He has to move fast to accomplish his task set for him by George Soros and Moveon.org. He needs to finish before we can gather ourselves to stop him. Time to get out the tar and feathers! Ride 'em all out on a rail! Seriously, I think pressure on ALL congressmen, regardless whether they represent you or not, will be our first step. I think the march on Washington on July 4th should be the deadline for expecting results from that. If that fails, and it may, then pressure your governor to look into States' Rights and rejecting the stimulus bill and the presumption of the federal government that it can dictate to us. Government is there to protect us and when the feds fail then we turn to the state to protect us from the fed. When that fails then, gentlemen, get out your guns because it's Par-tea time! The people WILL be free! BTW, watch the video on this site describing the difference between democracy and a republic. It's very well done! And Chuckie, and any others lurking on our site, please think about what you're doing to this country. You can't really want the country to fail...really. It's one of the last places on earth where you can still speak your mind and associate freely. When you take that away from us you will lose it, too. This is not some game to get attention. And if you really believe Obama that most of the American people will not have to pay taxes then, sir, we've wasted our tax dollars on your public education. You are among the most naive and ignorant and I feel sorry for you for you know not what you're doing. But we will not feel sorry for long because we will fight for our rights and liberty as long as there's one soldier or one old marine left to fight.

It seems everyone on here would rather fling insults and whine than find constructive solutions to the problems we all are facing. I recommend inviting a few friends, family, or neighbors over, pop open the beer, and have fun. Take time to enjoy yourselves and quit letting these liberals annoy you. Certainly you have better things to do than indulge an obviously lonely kid who has nothing better to do than push your buttons. He's like a bully and you're playing his game, dancing on his string for him. Go have a beer and chill! We have bigger things to do than indulge these children who are only looking for attention.

Hi, Chuckflynn I have a serious question and am not intending to flame you at all. This comment you've made isn't really all that inflammatory so I guess you've made other comments that have angered people. But I really want to know since you appear to be from the "opposition" whether you favor what we see coming in this country, ie. socialism? Or is this just a "gotcha" moment for those who have felt victimized for who-knows-why and it's payback time? I can understand anger at perceived abuse. Is this "get whitey and the rich folks" time? I'm really trying to understand where someone like you is coming from. A young college student I know is thrilled with the president because he really wants communism in this country. But he is so full of hate and rage. He's a rich white kid and he's angry. Why? He really wants this country to fail and he's a product of Catholic schools. What is the influence that eats at our young people that makes them want to destroy what their ancestors have built? Is the rage of the professors and entertainers so easily transferred to these kids that reality is no longer visible to them? I really think a dialogue amongst ourselves about what's making us so angry would be helpful. I served in the Army for 29 years and now I look at my service and wonder what it was all about. I'm proud to have served my country but I don't want to blindly serve a Congress like we have now. And I'll not encourage any of my kids to serve either. I do believe in defending my country, family and myself but I'm not so sure about spending money and lives to fight someone half a world away. I have to ask myself, why do they hate us so? I know I'm treading on thin ice with some "love it or leave it" people on here, but we can't heal the nation if we don't examine what it is we really believe and be honest with the answers. I bet most of us are more non-interventionist that we would imagine. We don't want a nation Balkanized by hate and fear of each other. We must come together and convince the rest of the country that the way we're heading right now is wrong. But this is a path we've been on for a very long time indeed. Let's not get put in the position of having to defend the person we voted for and instead finally admit that the nation, as a whole, has been failing for a very long time and it's time to put it right. I think we here at the 9.12 project, believe that giving everyone their freedom back...freedom to succeed and freedom to fail...and the responsibility for themselves and their family...is the way to a better life for everyone and is what made this country great over two hundred years ago and made it the beacon of hope for millions of people around the world. Ronald Reagan was right and didn't have to go to war to prove it. We're all of us interested in just being left alone to enjoy the fruits of our labor and to live in peace. That should be enough for anyone!

People should just show up. These concerns are due to the litigiousness of our society. The Constitution says we have the right and so we do. If the mayor has concerns about the safety and all then that's his problem. We aren't asking for protections and insurance. We just want our voices heard and no one can stop that for any reason...ANY REASON! We aren't asking for permission, just giving notice that the rally will occur. What the mayor feels he has to do with that information is his problem. I feel it's just a courtesy to inform the city and really not necessary according to our Constitutional rights.

As Glenn Beck said, tho, both republicans and democrats are playing the game, within millimeters of each other and here we are, arguing with fellow Americans, over silly things like "Bush did this" "Yeah, well, Clinton did that" and where does it get us? We are all, democrats and republicans and independents, being taken advantage of here. The people in charge right now are "none of the above." They are socialists bordering on communism. They are everyone's enemy. BUT PLEASE can't we just listen to each other????? jchico seems to have very strong feelings. Now maybe (s)he just wants to screw with us and get us irritated. It may be a function of certain members of the other side to piss us off so bad we make real stupid errors. We can't let that happen. But don't defend things that aren't worth defending, either. Our government has NO BUSINESS doing about 75% of what it does and both parties are responsible. Let's get down to much smaller government since it's evidently too large for anyone to run it competently and then we can argue details. BTW, the showers are actually electrocuting soldiers because of a faulty hookup. That's not a good thing. But our soldiers were poorly equipped when we entered the war because Congress under Clinton cut the forces drastically and refused to pay for training and equipment. Many units were having to dismantle vehicles for parts in order to get others running and then lied on their reports that they were a fully functional unit. Read your Constitution. Article I, Section 12 states that Congress shall have the power to raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years. I believe the intent was for each State to maintain a militia as they wished but that the Congress could only raise an Army for the purpose of a war that THEY declared. And for only two years at a time. Congress is responsible for funding that Army. So let's all take a deep breath and read the Constitution...I finally did just recently... and try to understand the rules before we point fingers at each other for doing something wrong or bad. Let's all get on the same sheet of music and figure this out for the good of everyone...in freedom! Question EVERYTHING!

I think our first effort is aimed at convincing Congress to listen to reason. If that fails, we petition our individual states to assert states' rights. That means that the states stand against the federal government and it's unconstitutional activities. The states must refuse to be party to the bailouts and turn the money back. They must also refuse to comply with any of the many spending programs being proposed and cut back on programs they're already participating in. The people give the power to the federal government AND the states and they must comply with the constitution. If some states refuse then we find the states that will and join them in secession. We will force the feds to comply with their duty to "uphold and defend" just as you and I swore to do or we will declare them null and void and the states will force them from office. Finally, when 2010 comes we "clean House" and vote all of them out replacing all representatives with new, constitution-believing men and women. Currently I'm reading Ron Paul's "The Revolution" and it's excellent...I highly recommend it. I had no idea I was a libertarian! All these years I was defending Republican officeholders not realizing there was a viable option for freedom. I also attended the CPAC meeting where Rush Limbaugh spoke and it was eye-opening! It crystallized a lot of what was in my mind. Now I KNOW what I believe and can defend it ... without a teleprompter! Semper Fi and thanks for your service!

I would discourage anyone from continuing the government-run welfare system. Instead let the people contribute to the causes they feel strongly about and if you care about the poor or hungry then place your efforts there. If the welfare recipient had to come face-to-face with their contributors, knowing that they were denying themselves something in order to give to the needy then I think that chain of accountability would make them appreciative. In other words, let the churches or other organizations help them out and then the person can be vetted and screened as to their neediness. There is too much fraud and abuse of the welfare system as it currently is run and there is no personal accountability. Instead the recipient feels "entitled" thus why we call them "entitlements."

Here's the letter I sent to Pelosi today and a similar one to Reid: Dear Mrs. Pelosi, If you care about this country, if you care about the children, if you care about the poor, you will not only VOTE AGAINST this budget bill, but you will vehemently decry it as an undisguised attempt to impoverish and socialize our great nation. Mr. Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress are hell-bent on spending us into oblivion and I can only warn you that the people are not going to sit still for it. Act now to press charges against Barney Frank and Christopher Dodd and remove them from Congress as traitors of the people. Change your own heart from this destructive course of action. It's such a shame that we have finally acceded to minority representation in the highest offices in our land and it's become a joke. I'm embarrassed to call myself an American woman because of the actions taking place in our government. You, ma'am, are a disgrace. Pray that no one makes the kind of threats against you that have been made against the executives of AIG and their families all at the encouragement of ACORN, Moveon and George Soros. It's an outrage and I've heard no complaint from you or other leaders in Congress. And by the way, we will not stand for taxation without representation. If you continue to silence our representatives in the House you will hear such a roar of indignation and outrage and you will suffer the consequences of the Brewing Revolution. In all sincerity and with high hopes for the right change,

Ahhh...they called Bush 'Hitler" because they wanted us to scoff at the comparison and get angry about it so when the time came for us to call Obama 'Hitler' they could do the same, knowing full well his intentions. But on the other side of the coin, I have a question: Is all this really payback for actual and perceived wrongs committed against blacks and women? I mean, are they all reveling in the picture of us sitting in our homes, angry about being cheated, scared of the cops or coming civilian police force, and wondering how we're going to afford the roof over our heads, food for our tables, health care and security for our families and education for our children? Picture the world from their eyes and mind and try to understand them. It doesn't make it right, but I really feel that these folks are very, very angry and want payback and that's why Obama is smiling all the time...it's a game of gotcha! It never hurts to put yourself in the other folks shoes, if only to understand how to take them down. Friends close...enemies closer!

The liberals have been doing this to us for years...remember Clinton's comment..."It depends what the definition of "is" is" and the smirk on his face as if he couldn't believe he just said that and got away with it!!! Oh yes, their goal is to redefine our language so we can't communicate anymore ... we will have 1984 just a couple decades late but it's coming. Double think and double speak...oh yeah...it's coming. Unless we stop it...now! Where's the 9.12 feeling? I guess for me it went away when I saw angry mobs of people protesting the AIG bonuses but not the bailouts given by congress that enabled them to afford the bonuses. They should have let AIG fail! And the threats against AIG executives and their families????? Where is the outrage??? I want those protesters who made those threats to twist in the wind! But here's the problem...is the outrage supposed to inflame us to violence? I mean, they must be wondering what's taking us so long to react to all the trash they're pulling on us. I think Obama wants to provoke us and that will entitle him to put the smack down on us and take away our peacemakers. (stepping off the soapbox for now)

I would also add that if we cut the federal government in half...at least!...there would be less for them to do and they could spend more time in their districts. Also, take over one of the bases in DC that are closing and house all the congressmen in the barracks and let them see what the soldiers live like. They can live there when congress is in session and cut out the second homes and all. Make their families stay in their districts to live with the laws they pass. Maybe they'll do less (less government is best) in order to get home to Momma. Give them the same medical care our veterans get and the same retirement plan. Twenty years to earn a retirement of 50% of their pay. No automatic raises and no retirement without serving 20 years.

Here's an effort for tomorrow sent to me earlier today from Rob in Adairsville. http://www.calendar9-12.blogspot.com/ This site has all representatives names and phone numbers, major media contacts, etc. Following is a bit of what he says The 21st Century Tea Party A Digital March on Washington Friday March 27th 2009 We must try to close the flood gates on Capital Hill. We must demand that congress stop spending NOW! Whether you’re right, left or center you will agree that Washington spending is out of control and bankrupting our nation. We can’t begin to heal our wounds if we don’t stop the bleeding. Please join us in a march on the information super highway; straight to Congress and the mass media. If we can unite as one nation with one voice and shout “STOP SPENDING”, we can get their attention and wake the media to the real America. All day this coming Friday - call, fax and email. Tell them to STOP spending NOW. Say NO to the proposed budget. Tell the media to WAKE UP! Tell them all that WE ARE FED UP! Spread the word, tell everyone you know, send out their contact information,which can be found on this site under archived blogs or by scrolling down. I suggest we concentrate on all members of the House and Senate Budget Committees, Majority and Minority Leaders in the House and Senate, and the media outlets listed under media. Be sure to let the media know so we can get them out of the pocket of Congress. Imagine the response when they receive MILLIONS of communications in one day!

I recommend we protest outside ACORN's offices around the country because they took billions of OUR taxpayer dollars and I've never seen an accounting EVER! ...or is that exactly what they want? Do they want an all-out brawl and revolution on their hands so they can come in with the strong arm of the law or the military to quell the uprising??? Maybe just a lawful Freedom Of Information Act inquiry as to how our money is spent...do that across the nation...whatever legal recourse is still available to us we MUST do!
