Puyallup Tea Party Day: Dhimmitude
I found this post on a blog related to the TEA (TaxedEnoughAlready) Party to be insightful and accurate.
It's well worth consideration.

Respect Your Elders If Only For Selfish Reasons
Interesting to note that at one time, the driver was as young and carefree as the kids working their magic and skill on their skateboards. And one day, he will also be the one moving slowly while the younger wait for him to pass, hopefully, with patience. It's curious to see in this vignette, the three stages of life, captured in one, somewhat connected, setting.
It would be good if our lawmakers remember this when they consider the next steps they take to fix the damage they've done, by their pilfering, to our Social Security system.

Some of My Favorite Reasons Why a Second Term Will Just Not Do.
Obama did not throw!
Mrs. Emperor looks embarrased for him. Sad.
Feeling screwed?
The guy on Obama's right looks as if he didn't anticipate this unimaginable gesture and was preparing to take Barry out for what might have been seen as an assault on the king.
Just No Sense of Propriety.

The question: Is it prudent, at this time of our economic travails, to spend this amount of money, hundreds of millions of hard-earned, tax payers' dollars, approximately enough to hire 30,000 teachers, just to protect Barack Hussein Obama, The One Who Bows, on a trip that isn’t necessary, just because they believe so many people want him to meet his Maker, face to Face?
He could have stayed at home, saved all that money that belongs to the taxpayers for better purposes that serve the taxpayers, while still having just as many people fantasizing his arrival in heaven.
I guess it’s easy to blow through a wad of cash when it isn’t your own. Very few people who win a lottery have any of the winnings ten years afterwards. It appears that with Barry’s approach, his lottery win is no better defended.
Other People’s Money will always be …

It would appear that the all-too-predictable left–leaning press can follow Nancy and Barry’s lead in declaring the firemen who have come to the burning house as being a nuisance, despite how much this country is in a time of need. Yes, I suppose if you intend to burn the house to the ground, that would be a fair characterization.
If ever I happen to encounter one who is hard on his luck (or her luck, as the case may be) and it would be obvious that giving them money would ease the pain of the moment, I ask myself, “Are they better off with the fish, or should I teach them how to fish?” That is to say, should I further burden them with increased debt for which they have no plan or means to absolve, or should I help them establish conditions that would alleviate the circumstances of their plight and show them a path to sustainable prosperity? Should I give them free access to other people's money, day by day weakening their abilty and drive while increasing their indebtedness, or would they be better off if I helped to create market conditions that allowed them to pull themselves up in a sustainable way with a sense of excitement, rooted in their own future's envisioned prospeirity?
Under the leadership of BHO and Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats have repeatedly sought to provide the fish while taxing fishing gear beyond affordability with a price tag that would bury our grandchildren in insurmountable debt. And all in the name of “helping”, they seek to dole out even more fish with the result of driving up the cost of fish through inflation. Then there’s the genetically engineered fish that make you feel full but leave you empty so much sooner. And still, the only ready source of fish is the hand that feeds, so no one wants to bite it. No one, that is, but those Republicans who think they should be signing folks up for some fishing lessons. And, even as the Fed drives a $600 BILLION DOLLAR stake into the heart of recovery, creating holographic currency in the guise of easing the pain, suicide might not be the only solution.
But then, suicide just might appear to be a solution to those Democrats here in Washington State who thought it prudent to pass legislation, a while ago, that would allow for a person, in dire pain, believed by some to be terminal, to proceed to hasten the dying, all for the sake of “dignity”. “Death With Dignity is the call to such cowardice. Honestly, I see no dignity in surrendering to a challenge, even it it is perceived as insurmountable. Pope John Paul II comes to mind, having made that public statement, that life is sacred and worht keeping to the last. He did it, so loudly, through his example at his own passing. Imagine the country this would be if all of those on whom our security rests, were to adopt this moral fortitude as that of the nation.
In recognition of society’s respect for the heroes of our history, there have been commemorations of their valor in battle. All those statues that grace numerous public spaces, hail the fallen heroes of old by placing them upon a horse, reared with both front legs aloft, signifying that they died, not in submission, but trying to win. There is no model to honor those who gave up, surrendered and died at their own hands, heads hanging in utter despair (and I do truly pity them), all in the name of Dignity. There really is no model for public recognition of this type, an honorific of the Absence of Valor. Unless the utter absence of anything to commemorate them is how one salutes The Nothingness of Surrendered Failure, rooted in fear and doubt, the fruit of which is utter emptiness. With friends and family at one’s side.
But I digress into the character and motivation of those that would Control Everything. As they have once believed was the prerogative of God, they now usurp, in denial of His existence, either through their words or, usually, their actions.
And so the Democrats will move forward in our next and 112th Congress to show us the way? Will they show us how cooperation is achieved? Will they be the shining example of bipartisan teamwork? Or will they, perhaps inspired by their own jealousy that the Republicans saw through them, walk out of negotiations, as they have in the past, becoming the new Shining Example of the Party of NO?

Play Ball!
Fortunately, after hearing tonight's press meeting, it's become clear, he wants to play ball.
Now, if only he can learn to do that.

Mistress of Deception - Self Deception, Maybe?
Nancy Pelosi either doesn't get it or thinks the voters are too dumb to know what just happened. Rather than congratulate the success of her opponents, she goes deep into her war chest of rhetoric and spews the same old tripe, as if saying it makes it so. Unbelievable!
Yet she vows to continue to, in effect - muck it up. She says,
"The outcome of the election does not diminish the work we have done for the American people."

"Over the last four years, the Democratic Majority in the House took courageous action on behalf of America's middle class to create jobs and save the country from the worst economic catastrophe since the Great Depression.
"Our Members and candidates ran remarkable campaigns led by the superb leadership of DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen.
"The outcome of the election does not diminish the work we have done for the American people. We must all strive to find common ground to support the middle class, create jobs, reduce the deficit and move our nation forward."
Does she not realize that the reason the Dems lost is because the people DO NOT want them to do any more of the stuff of which she's so proud? In fact, they voted in Representatives to undo the bloody mess before it gets any worse. Repeal her "greatest achievement":
Obamacare!
(Vote for it and then you can find out what's in it-care)
Yet she vows to continue to, in effect - muck it up. She says,
"The outcome of the election does not diminish the work we have done for the American people."
Nancy, the outcome is precisely because of what you did TO the American people!
With eyes wide open, you just don't get it, do you?
With eyes wide open, you just don't get it, do you?
What a maroon!
Who would Ever Imagine This!?
A radio interview with
Law Professor,
Law Professor,
Barack Hussein Obama,
in 2001
People who
own businesses and
create real jobs
don't vote for this type of thinking.
To gain power with this mindset,
one requires many votes from those who
Don't have,
Don't create and
Don't contribute.
To assure that enough of these voters are available, you sue Sovereign States to prevent them from protecting their own borders from invasion from...
likely voters
for policies that allow free access to
Other People's Money.
Bring your earnings Here, at Once !
arack ussein bama
Barack Hussein Obama complains that the Warren Court didn't interpret the Constitution in a such a way as to justify taking money from those that earn it to give it to those that don't. This wouldn't be so much an "interpretation" as it would be a "rewriting" of the Constitution, in as much as the primary author of the document was deliberate and emphatic about what that document delineates. Obama's views are diametrically opposed to the precepts put forth by the Framers of the Constitution.
To get anything else from that document is not "interpretation". It's called "hijacking". If for no other reasons of birthplace, Birth Certificate, citizenship in foreign countries, travelling where Americans were fobidden to travel, sealed records of all kinds, adopted by foreign national, thereby losing any potential American citizenship - aside from all of those possibilities - this position of denying the right to keep what you earn, alone, defines this man as
Not-American.
As if he were present to hear Barack Hussein Obama chastise Joe The Plumber's success, seemingly in direct response, the primary author of the Constitution took this view:
“To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.”
— Thomas Jefferson, April 6, 1816

How's this for Freedom of Speech? Rumor has it that the Federal Government is now petitioning to have these signs removed or Washington state will be denied additional monies for interstate highways?? I believe these signs are on private property. If BO is still in office by the time the courts finally deal with the last appeal (unlikely), it will be interesting to see which right they've abrogated in the process.
There’s a seemingly conservative business owner who has land abutting the I-5 freeway. For years he has had a billboard on that land, visible from both directions, on which he has posted conservative complaint and prudent guidance for a successful, reverent, and prosperous country. The message changes but the iconic image of Uncle Sam is always the same. His methodology has apparently taken root. Though I’ve not seen these particular signs in person, I’m pretty sure they’re on private property. I’m not sure by which law they would remove them.
One of the local tribes has for years, on their own land along the freeway, a huge LED-type billboard for commercial advertising. Many have complained that its brightness at night, as you come into the curve, causes night-blindness and is a hazard; yet they have been unable to find a law that will allow for its removal. I doubt that they will succeed in this endeavor either. Anyway, by the time the courts masticate this one, he’ll be looking for other work. Probably in Africa, as they over there, have been most impressed with his ability to infiltrate, usurp, and deceive; an attractive qualification among Islamically rooted African Nations, so I read. That is why they refer to it as the “Dark Continent”, no? And on that front, he has shown a remarkable resume.
And remember, just as a corpse turns blue, so also -and for many of the same reasons- Blue States have their color.
The smell of the festering is truly
obnoxious.
NOW...
Imagine: If only 1.6% of the population (coincidentally, the same group that they claim owns the majority of the country’s wealth) were to show up in Washington, D.C.
and gather on the lawn beneath the Washington Monument, atop which it proclaims
anathema to the destructive herald, “Allah Akbar”; if that 5 million were to then proceed in an orderly fashion (silent would be best, I think) towards the Capitol Building and go inside to the Chambers and physically remove the occupants to the street where they were then informed by the crowd, in a single voice, that as of that very moment,

– imagine that!-
- Would the military stop it?
- And would they even be able?
- Would they want to?
- Would they have to?
- Where would they put 5 million citizens?
- Do they have enough handcuffs or zip ties to restrain such a crowd?
- And that’s only 1.6% of the population. What if it were three times that number?

Signs from the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear | Posted | National Post
If those upstarts, you know… the ones that threw all that 
into the harbor, had taken the reasonable attitude of these at the “Restore Sanity and/or Fear Rally, we wouldn’t be having any arguments in Washington because it wouldn’t be called Washington. The King would never have named a city in his colony after some farmer. For sure. And that just makes me think we would be so much more reasonable and socialist if we had just kept paying the king those taxes. The ones that came with the deal …because we were adults.
It would make an interesting survey to dicover how many of those that attended this rally spent any time in service to this country. If any of them had any "skin in the game", as they say.
And if so, in what capacity.
If any of them owned a business. And how many employees.
I wonder the percentage that had risked their own lives to defend their freedom to rally as they so thoroughly enjoyed doing.
It would also be intersting to see how many of them were Canadians.
But then, I'm sure King George had jesters for his amusement and this lot would surely have been gainfully employed. Well, ok. Employed.
