Astro-turf or Grassroots?

Darn it! I must have missed my marching orders. I didn't get the phone call, the email, the certified letter. Somebody rich in Washington was "organizing" and sending out drones to do their bidding on April 15th. The Richest of the Rich wanted to have a bunch of white redneck drones show up for what Pelosi called "astro-turf" Tea Parties because they aren't REAL GRASS ROOTS. These "rich orchestraters" want to protest the rich being taxed more under Obama.

I really missed the memo. So did the other 2000 people at my local tea party. My 13 and 11 year old holding the signs we made from the poster board bought at Staples that afternoon helped me push the stroller with the baby around road work to get to the state capitol. We were walking next to other moms with babies, dads with toddlers on their shoulders, guys on motorcycles, minivans of boy scouts, some retired veterans, some in business suits stepping out of the office at the end of the day to join us.

Most of the participants would benefit from a tax cut on the middle class. So why would they be at the tea party protesting taxes on "the rich"? Because we know that tax slogan is a fallacy. If you pay a utility bill, if you buy gas, if you use a telephone or cell phone,if you (God forbid) smoke, or consume alcohol: your taxes are going up! That sounds like middle class to me. If my husband succeeds in his business he will eventually move us into the $250,000 tax bracket. We had hoped at one time that the day would come... what is our incentive now? An extreme liberal relative (Obama supporter)complained to me the other day that she received a bonus check but such a large portion of the bonus was taken in tax that she will have to wait a year to get it back in her return. I wanted to say "why do you want it back"? Don't other's need that money? Isn't it going to important programs, necessary bailouts, mortage foreclosures? But more importantly, please notice that even the most loyal Obama supporter or tax and spend liberal does not like it when it is THEIR money taken. Its easy to take it from the "rich".

Nancy Pelosi, there was a time when our leaders would not disparage the average American for expressing their peaceful opinion. But now we find ourselves in an age when the first female Speaker of the House will disparage some of the taxpaying citizens and VOTERS of the country as mindless drones organized and paid for by the rich elite.

You dear lady are the mindless drone. You represent the worst of the rich elite and 'entitled'. And You put the ASS in Astro-turf.

Party Like Its 2099...Last Mortgage Payment

Not only is capitalism evil, but, this just in...We have identified the clearest and most present danger to our nation. No, not smelly pirates dressed in rags holding a gun to a merchant vessel captain's head while keeping the US Navy at bay for 5 days, no not Islamic jihadists beheading innocents in the Middle East, not reformed bomb throwing terrorists who now write school curricula, not the cartoon Hitler puppet of the mullahs in Iran who almost daily informs us of Iran's progress to a nuclear weapon, not an abortion industry which is responsible for the deaths of 1,000,000 unborn infants a year, not the Chia Pet puppet of the Chinese in NK, not neighborhood shakedown artists who stand at voting sites with billy clubs in hand, not flim flammers who buy the votes of homeless with cigarettes, not the never ending list of Presdiential nominees who can't pay their taxes, and not Congressman who arrange the firebombing of the subprime housing market and then claim to be firemen.

No, the particle physicists at the Department of Homeland Security, led by Secretary Janet (would somebody survey our villages) Napolitano, the wizard who prefers that jihadi terrorism be called a "man caused disaster", have discovered that the clear and present danger to American sovereignty is, well, read for yourself:

"Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration..."

"Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election time frame to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers."

The unbelievable rest of this declassified DHS report is here, linked off Michelle Malkin.

D-Day in the battle for the fate of our nation is Election Day 2010. The glove has been thrown, however, and not by "right wing extremists" who inhabit the hallucinogenic imaginations of misguided liberals.

Tomorrow is April 15th. Like paying taxes now, just wait. Think about what the tax burden for us and the next two generations will be as a result of the mortgage which now exists on our nation. Three trillion dollars spent over the last six months, with another eight trillion pledged. We haven't even gotten to cap and trade, restructuring the energy industry and nationalizing healthcare. This is money spent by elected officials who haven't even read the legislation which they signed and which committed these monies.

A small but significant response to this irresponsible, reckless and treasonous governance starts tomorrow. Your voice counts, and can be heard, for the moment. Take advantage of this opportunity. Get thee to a tea party tomorrow. There is one near you.
