‘My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.
I hope you’ll join with me as we try to change  it.‘  — Barack Obama

The Tea Party protests, in their current form, began in early 2009 after Rick Santelli, the On Air Editor for CNBC, set out on a rant to expose the bankrupt liberal agenda of the White House Administration and Congress. Specifically, the flawed “Stimulus Bill” and irresponsible pork filled spending.

During Rick’s rant, he called for a “Chicago Tea Party” where advocates of the free-market system could join in a protest against out of control government spending. A few days later, grassroots activists and average Joe Americans began organizing what would soon become the Nationwide Chicago Tea Party effort.

On February 27th, an estimated 30,000 Americans took to the street in 40+ cities accross the country in the first nationwide “Tea Party” protest. Organizers of the February 27th events pledged to continue on with an even bigger and better protest to follow the first. With April 15th being “Tax Day”, it was decided to schedule the second round of Tea Party protests to ride alongside the tax deadline.

An element of the Tea Party Movement that beltway insiders get red faced even nasty about is its self driven, true grassroots foundation. The Movement cannot be controlled, driven, directed, or even calculated. It’s an animal unlike any other in politics, and the typical players of the free-market movement haven’t grasped the nature of the activism behind it. Most Politicians and Liberal Biased Media mouth pieces have claimed the movement has no relevancy and tries to poke fun of the US Citizens. The Strength of America “We The People” is just getting started. And in 2010… Will begin to take back the country from the progressive infiltration. Currently these So Called Marxist Experts believe that the Tea Party is Doomed because their is no clear “Leader of the Tea Party Movement” They have forgotten the most important part of the Grassroots movement “We The People” The Tea Party is not a “Party” at all, it is the American Citizens taking back the reckless out of control government run by the Progressive Democrat community organizers.

9 Principles, 12 Values

The 9-12 Principles

1. America Is Good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.

God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” George Washington’s first Inaugural address.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.

Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson

Uncommon Knowledge (02.09.2010 23:17h): Who is Dismantling America? Dr. Thomas Sowell Takes the Pulse

Always a popular guest, Dr. Thomas Sowell returns to the show to discuss his latest book, Dismantling America. The book’s focus is wide ranging, as is the discussion. To take one example, Dr. Sowell questions whether most people understand what is meant by President Obama’s background as a “community organizer.” A community organizer isn’t a friendly local expert doling out advice on better living, but is rather someone who mobilizes resentment at the behest of third party interests to put the public into battle on their behalf. Dr. Sowell’s basic accusation of those who he believes are destroying America is ... [Link] [Cache]

LaborUnionReport (02.09.2010 21:33h): Teamsters Win 2010 ‘Most Decertified Union’ Award

With their pension plans about ready to implode no wonder they’re clamoring for a union pension bailout , a union boss who was just dumped by his top running mate, and with hundreds of members out on strike, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters can now add one more thing to their pot of bad luck: The union just won the 2010 Most Decertified Union Award. Every year for the past five years, Union Free America one of a handful of websites that is committed to helping employees maintain their independence gives out its Most Decertified Union Award and this year’s ...

Dan Mitchell (02.09.2010 19:54h): Crocodile Dundee vs Australia’s Tax Police

Here’s a Reuters story about the Australian Tax Office harassing Paul Hogan, better known to Americans as Crocodile Dundee, because of a tax dispute. The grinches at the tax office took advantage of Hogan’s return for his mother’s funeral to hold him hostage, refusing to let him leave the country until he coughs up some cash. It appears that the tax police in Australia are just as politicized and above the law as the IRS. Hogan has never been charged with tax evasion and there are plenty of signs that the bureaucrats want to make him a high-profile victim to ... [Link] [Cache]

Seton Motley (02.09.2010 18:31h): FCC Chair Genachowski Blinks on Internet Regulation

Yesterday Federal Communications Commission FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski issued a statement on Network Neutrality and Internet reclassification that is difficult to interpret in any way other than “I’m not interested in walking the Media Marxist Net Neutrality plank.” Chairman Genachowski has called for another round of public comment on the two contentious components of Net Neutrality – and how they should be applied to both wired and wireless Internet. And did so in such a way as to make it very difficult for the pro-Net Neutrality Media Marxists like Free Press to raise any objection. After all, who can protest ... [Link] [Cache]

Stephen Kruiser (02.09.2010 17:29h): Hedge Fund Manager Earns Millions on Carbon, Spends it Financing Global Warming Initiative Campaign

The state that is home to Hollywood often leads the nation when it comes to creating illusion. Sometimes, the illusion becomes a law like AB32, the so-called “Global Warming Solutions Act”. Two Democratic presidents and one Republican agreed in deciding that the Kyoto Protocol was a fundamentally flawed idea and refrained from having the United States commit to it. California, however, is governed by legislators who are clueless about the fact that the state is teetering on the edge of a cliff and are more than willing to pass laws that will help push it over. AB32 is a Kyoto-esque ... [Link] [Cache]

An Inconvenient Truth (02.09.2010 16:11h): Enviros’ Doomsday Rhetoric Breeds Eco-Terror

In the wake of yesterday’s terrorism outside Washington, DC by Discovery-network hostage-taker James J. Lee, let’s consider the position articulated by, say, radio host Glenn Beck to not attribute responsibility to Al Gore’s eco-ranting. The latter is of course larded with assurances of a certain eco-catastrophe brought about by dark forces impeding salvation, and disturbing utterances like “the tide in this battle will turn only when the majority of people in the world become sufficiently aroused by a shared sense of urgent danger to join in an all-out effort.” Earth in the Balance, p. 269 Any sane person knows that ...

William Shughart II (02.09.2010 13:59h): Get the Federal Government and Federal Reserve Out of the Way

Economists and pundits, who contend that the Federal Reserve System has little room to maneuver in using monetary policy to jump-start our anemic economy, often have claimed that America is mired in a Keynesian “liquidity trap”, a situation in which the demand for money is unresponsive to changes in market interest rates. After all, those commentators emphasize, the Fed has adopted a target for the federal funds rate the interest rate charged on overnight interbank loans of between zero and 0.25 percent. The implication is that further reductions in that rate will have little or no effect on the incentives ... [Link] [Cache]

Thursday Open Thread (02.09.2010 08:34h): Earl Edition

The East Coast where BG is largely based is bracing for Hurricane Earl. Having grown up amid tornados in the midwest, this seems mostly just a big thunderstorm, but, man, do people go crazy around here…probably because there are too many federal bureaucrats around these parts… [Link] [Cache]
