Tea Party Takeover - You Betcha!

I HAVE to do this blog...Its a long one, so sit back, read on, and be amazed. There are six videos embedded with comments.

I know Ill probably take heat on this one, specifically from my conservative friends. But Im sorry, I am not in love with Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin....Im tired of all the fascination already. They can do no wrong in most of the GOPs eyes. I respect them both for differing reasons, but they have faults....and Im tired of everyone acting like they need to bow down before these people.

Please do not email me with your -I got it wrong- Leave a comment WITH YOUR NAME. If I can post this under my name, you can leave a comment with yours.


The ORIGINAL Tea Party was THIS:
Firstly, I stand corrected when I say that I researched the first "Tea Party" and it was not in 2000-01 as I previously stated. It was earlier - 1998. And for all those who are bandwaggon tea partiers....do you realize who your '...leader' was? It was Alex Jones....yep, for all those that dog me because I peruse his website....including my conservative friends....You will see how small this movement was back then, as well as the fact that it was basically ran by unknowns outside of Texas. It was only recently that the GOP joined in and well Im sure you all know the rest....Glenn Becks involvement - Sarah Palins involvement.....and how those who have seen it grow can literally claim that while the movement has grown, it has been taken over.



Here are clips from the Tea Party Convention - Sarah Palins remarks (with my observations)

Pt 1
My observations: So Sarah Palin takes one minute by beating it thru our heads that shes proud to be American....most of us are. This is a time waster in my opinion. We hear about Scott Brown...honestly? Hes already gone back on several campaign promises. Enough! Im tired of hearing that BHO is blaming GWB....whatever! Shes coming off pretty cocky. Around 8:00 minutes in we hear the 'charasmatic man with a teleprompter' bit. That doesnt sound like she was joking to me.



Pt 2
My observations: At 3:50 minutes in, we hear the 'we need a Commander in Chief, not a Professor of Law' bit. Honestly? Is this necessary? At 5:00 minutes in, Sarah Palin actually states that Alaska is the beacon of hope. When did this happen? Its the first Ive heard of this one! At 7:30 in, she mentions sanctions. As a level headed person, I realize sanctions only hurt the citizens of whatever country they are used. Their leaders do not care. This only gives them more fuel to hate us. Learn this! Near the end of this clip, Sarah Palin actually attempts to blame the bailout on BHO...uh....this is a boo-boo the GWB administration did.



Pt 3
My observations: Leg-is-slate-tors? Odd pronunciation there. At 2:00 minutes in she mocks the Hope and Change campaign theme.....rather bad. Hopey-Changey? Is she two? She also speaks about a campaign promise of BHOs that bills wouldnt be up for vote until the citizens could read them...Im miffed about this and Im disappointed, HOWEVER, our legislators could have refused to vote on this. There was NO RUSH. Lets put the blame where it needs to be.



Pt 4
My observations: Sarah Palin mentions at about 5:00 minutes in that you do not need an office or title to make a difference...and while this is true, I guess she needed a clause to make millions in speaking fees. (she did give it back in this case, but come on) And then, she states that The Tea Party (those at this convention) are the loyal opposition....I beg to differ. Not everyone who attended was there to oppose BHO or the democratic party. I know democrats who were there who were upset. At 8:20 she talks about marginalizing....and I beg to differ here as well....It is a takeover of a movement that marginalizes citizens involved in movements.



Pt 5
These were her closing remarks. Nothing special to observe on my part.

Judge Napolitano and Alan Colmes (from 11/30)

Judge Napolitano appeared on Alan Colmes radio show on November 30th to discuss a few matters....

For me, the most telling comment was that Our Constitution applies to persons and does not specify exacts.

What this means: This doesnt just mean Americans or citizens....this means ALL people including illegal aliens.

Both of these videos total roughly 15 minutes and are worth watching.

Part 2

CNN attacks true Patiots-This time, the Oathkeepers

Sooooo.....CNN aired this story on November 18th. CNN just keeps pushing their propaganda to the masses....making me beleive that they are truly not a news organization, but part of the CIA or something....(hows that feel CNN, to be dismissed as a news organization? Hmmm?)

Anyway, the Oathkeepers is an organization where those who are in our military and police force take an oath to uphold the Constitution....remember that thing? Ya know, that document upon which our country was founded upon?

The Oathkeepers are NOT an extremist group, as referred to by the network. Nor do right-wing extremist groups target returning veterans to ask them to uphold their country's founding documents. Thats supposed to be a given. The Oathkeepers is not a racist organization.

As we have seen recently at the G-20 summit in Pittsburgh, the local police force is using tactics the military has used during war. These tactics go directly against what our rights are as American citizens. It is groups like the Oathkeepers who find veterans, soldiers and the police and have them take an oath that defies orders that violate our rights.

I stand and cheer for those brave enough to go against what they are told and know enough to keep us truly free.

But - watch the video.....see for yourself
