The Official White House Reaction!

[Topiary Lady]

Thousands upon thousands of American's came out in peaceful protest yesterday. They came to show themselves and express their discontent with our government's role in the destruction of our republic.

Ordinary citizens who had perhaps never taken part in protests or political action, took the time to create signs, gather flags, don their most patriotic attire.

Single people. Married couples. Families with children in tow. Young and old - American's came out in a historic show of love of country and appreciation of the ground work that our founding fathers laid for us. That, and anger over the outright insult and abuse by this administration, on the people whom they were elected to serve.

Personally, it was exactly what I had been hoping and praying for. The turnout across the country was amazing. It gave me hope.

Now, as I said, this really was a historic event. Not in my lifetime have I ever seen anything quite like this. Of course, we recently witnesed the election of the first black president. How many times did we here about that "historic" event? Plenty.

So, wouldn't you think we'd here about this historic event with the American people taking to the streets in mass numbers, as they did? No, of course not. Apparently the MSM did'nt think it was worthy of coverage as something unique and special - 'historic'.

Oh, and let's just go ahead and add a little more, okay? The White House and it's newbie president has had the following statement, regarding the historic tea party protests yesterday. Are you ready? Here it is:

the "MSM" has not stopped talking about the stupid parties

and it is not that historic

[scarymary]

Yeah, that's right, as far as Hero Zero is concerned, there were no protests yesterday. He is a liar. He knew there were protests happening yesterday. But here is a little head's up for you Prez, if you didn't know there were any protests yesterday, you will soon.

[Topiary Lady]

They are under reporting it, Shotty. It looks to me like the protests by the illegal aliens gained a lot more attention. But, here we have our own people - American's, who gathered like this.

The left has been out protesting this and that, forever. The right rarely does this. I've never seen anything like it. That, and this is only the beginning of it.

I believe that Chairman O is just arrogant enough to believe that he can somehow bury the whole thing. He may feel that something will have to be said - some statement need be made. I can guess what it will be, too. It'll be some bull crap lie. I can hardly wait to hear the White House release some statement saying that they are sympathetic to our cause and that they support our right to protest. This, at the same damned time that we discovered the DHS report, which clearly tells us just what they think of those on the right. "Radicals" "Extremists" references to terrorism - even though they no longer want to refer to the conflict with actual terrorists as The War On Terror! Yeah, let's leave that label for the conservatives.

Anyone who cannot see what is going on here, has really got a problem with grasping reality. I printed out that DHS report and read it over and over yesterday. It is an absolute outrage. But at the same time, I'm glad that we've got it as proof of what these people think of us.

People who have a "fear of Communist regimes", are now "extremists". People who support gun rights, or store ammo, are now "extremists". People who store food, may now be considered "extremists". Against abortion? Well, then you may be an "extremist"!

Are you fearful of an "economic collapse in the United States"? Really? You "extremist", you! What about illegal immigration? What do you mean, you're against that? Now see, you'll need to be watched, because you are an "extremist".

And best of all, if you're a returning war vet, then you are reallly a target. God forbid that this administration should have any belief that they can trust our men and women of our military to not join some militia and plan some violent overthrow of the governmnet, eh? It's the ultimate insult to our military.

There is no doubt what this administration is about. They are caught in what they do say, as in the DHS report. And also in their lack of response to what took place yesterday.

There will be more protests - peaceful protests. You know, that's what us "extremists" like to do these days. I wonder what the lib's will have to say when the government starts trying to shut down the whole movement. That should be very interesting.

[scarymary]

They will say there is no such thing happening, TL. I wonder if any of them have even read the report.

[san clemente]

TL, has there been an official WH reaction? I have yet to see one.

Thing is, there are (I think) more out there who support what Obama and what his administration is doing. That's just the state of the way things are right now. That's a lot why I think this should be more about gov spending and less about Obama. The masses love him so to go to the personal attacks could backfire. What also needs to happen is to have more protests. They will need to be consistent and remain peaceful. Then through time, hopefully some will take notice and it snowballs.

[Topiary Lady]

So far, the official White House reaction has been - silence. What does that tell us?

There will be many many more protests, SanC. I don't think that it will only be the sort that we've already seen though. I suspect that there will be regional movements to gather enough actual informed voters and then vote out of office many of those who are responsible for this spending.

Right now, it's just gathering people and motivating them. Next comes specific and targeted action using the voting process. Could it even be possible to vote out some of these leftwing nuts, like Pelosi? I think that it is. Mobilize enough people, and it'll be done.

[LoggerLee]

According to the DHS thingamahoosit I am definitely one of those extremists,ah well confirmation of what I thought...
Obama does not want to admit there is a large percentage of the country who knows what he is doing and is mad as hell about it.

[scarymary]

A lot of people I saw yesterday had signs in support of term limits for elected leaders. That is where it needs to start. That will most likely be the only way we will ever get to a government of the people, by the people.

[Topiary Lady]

You've got to see this. Here is Pelosi's reaction to the Tea Party protests:

Liar Liar - Liberalism on Fire!

Not a grassroots effort, eh? Merely an effort to support tax cuts for the very wealthy? That's funny, the people I saw yesterday looked pretty middle of the road to me. I don't seem to recall seeing any Rolls Royce's pulling up to the place.

Folks, these people think that we're all a bunch of idiots. Remember the claim from the White House that B. Hussein's bow to his Saudi king was merely him bending slightly to shake the hand of someone who was shorter?

They'll look you straight in the eye and lie to your face - and they'll do it with a smile. You know, happy faced fascists that they are.

[shotdrops286]

its not a grassroots movement

[Topiary Lady]

Go ahead and tell us what this is, Shotty.

[jbeukema]

its not a grassroots movement

How so?

[scarymary]

You need to look at some of the video from some of the protests shots if you think this isn't a grass roots movement. Most of the people I saw there were dressed as I do. They weren't wearing Versace, Gucci, or anything of the sort. They were just normal, every day people.

[Topiary Lady]

Look at where the whole thing started and who the people are who are organizing the events. This didn't come from some bigwig in the Republican party. This is an effort of the people, by the people, and for the people. That's the truth about it.

Pelosi is a damned liar. Why is B. Hussein so silent? Because the White House has to figure out a way to spin this. The lovely part though, is that they really can't do it without someone coming right back at them and unraveling their spew.

The patriots were very smart in this, and the administration entirely foolish. Sure, they'll try and dance around it. But the reality is, that we've got them right were we want them - caught.

[scarymary]

Well, Queen Nancy, the guilty dog usually barks first and loudest.

[shotdrops286]

Look at where the whole thing started and who the people are who are organizing the events. This didn't come from some bigwig in the Republican party. it started with santenellis rant correct? then various gop think tanks and PACS started organizing the tea parties


This is an effort of the people, by the people, and for the people. That's the truth about it. that doesnt necessarily make it a grasssroots organization


Pelosi is a damned liar. ill agree i hate her

what does it matter what they are wearing?


How so?

it was not a natural movement it was helped and organized by pacs, lobbyists etc...

Name a populist movement in American history not supported or aided in some way by some large group(s)

[Aurelius]

wow.. I'm trumped- I told him to name one and he did just that:rolleyes:

[Topiary Lady]

Yes, the rant. That was the beginning.

It caught the attention of bloggers like Liberty Belle http://redistributingknowledge.blogspot.com
and then others began to gather in their local communities http://www.socaltaxrevoltcoalition.org/ . More and more people - a lot of bloggers, began writing like crazy about it. http://templeofmut.wordpress.com/ (she's fabulous, BTW. What a treat to meet people like this).

Later on, it was taken up by a lot of the conservative radio talkers, but I've noticed quite a bit lately, that even on sites such as TAR, we seem to be a bit ahead of some of the talkers in the media. Our newshounds here are often quicker on the stories and provide far more in depth coverage of important issues, than the biggies in the media do.

Could this be why Chairman O is looking at having a bit more control of the net? I'm guessing that it is. The informed public is not his voting base.

This is how this caught on. What we have here are ordinary people, doing extraordinary things. It's truly a beautiful thing to see. Patriotism has once again blossomed.

Worker's rights groups in the 1800s grew out of individual factories.

The Civil Rights movement started in black communities before gaining more support.

The anti-war movement during Vietnam came about from individuals and had no assistance.

Code Pink started with four women...

Worker's rights groups in the 1800s grew out of individual factories.[/quoted]
supported by unions and political parties

[QUOTE]The Civil Rights movement started in black communities before gaining more support.

you mean like the support they had from the same Republican veins that had fought against slavery?


The anti-war movement during Vietnam came about from individuals and had no assistance.
Save for the Democrats, 3rd parties, music labels who banked on the 'movement' and accompanying 'counter-cultre'


Code Pink

is not a popularist movement

[Dr. Madd]

its not a grassroots movement
