Tea Parties...America's reawakening

Just in case anyone is confused, I am not the great and mighty Duke, merely a fill in while he is off adventuring across America. It is an honor to be able to share my thoughts with you, his faithful readers, during this time.

I am sure that many of you were in attendance at a Tea Party this past week. I am equally sure that anyone present, at any of the many locations nationwide, would willingly testify to the power of being in a large crowd of like minded citizens. It was amazing! It was not, however, an isolated day of celebrating being an American and exercising our first amendment rights. It was a beginning. The beginning of a movement, the beginning of an awakening of the American people. As citizens of this great nation, it is not only our right, but our responsibility, to make our voices heard. We owe it to ourselves, to each other, and to future generations to ensure that this country returns to the path which has guided us to where we are.

It is critical that we all take the momentum and energy we experienced last Wednesday and let it inspire us to continue fighting for our country. As citizens, we have to stand up for what we believe, and let those who we have given positions of power know how we feel and what we want. We cannot afford to allow the displeasure expressed on tax day to be the end of our statement. With that in mind, I would like to offer a few suggestions as to how we, as individual citizens, can continue to progress the cause.

• write a letter to the editor


• write to your congressional representatives (state and federal)


• start a blog


• talk with friends and family


• educate yourselves


• educate your children

There are many, many ways beyond these to get involved and stay involved, including finding groups or organizations that share you views to support and become active in. These suggestions are merely simple things that we can do on a regular basis as citizens to help make our voices heard. As I said earlier, it is not only our right as citizens to get involved in the process, it is our responsibility... and one every citizen should take seriously. Now, go forth and make your voices heard!

I don't watch 24 cause I'm a racist

Ahhhhhhhh Keith Olberman and Janane Garofolo two things that go together wonderfully.

Like peanut butter and chocolate,

Bill & Hillary

Poop and a Diaper. ( with these two it's a lot of poop so we need a really big diaper)

In the latest installment of reality challenged T.V. our anti hero Keith has on the woefully uninformed Miss Garofolo. She proceeds to comment on everything TEA party related. She knows because she was there at the one in New York. ( she really wasn't but she knows cause she is soooo much smarter than the rest of us)

Anyone of course who was at these TEA parties is a redneck racist according to Miss Garofolo. Up to 250,000 people in these United States of America came out to protest a " Black man" as President.

WOW

I personally can't speak for all 4000 people at the TEA party in Lansing Mi but out of the 100 or so people I talked too not ONE of them gave a damn what color or gender the person who has the honor of sitting in the Oval office is, they care what they do! I know this because we all were ticked off that George W Bush had allowed this folly of bailouts to begin and ummmmmmmmm last time I checked Janene he is WHITE. That would probably go for the majority of the people who were there. As for being a redneck , if we are stereotyping I think I remember all rednecks liking NASCAR.

I HATE NASCAR

I wanted to tune into Miss Garfolo Air America show the next day to get reaction to the brew ha ha but I could not find it...I wonder why? Maybe they CANCELED Air America ;-)

The last part of her rambling is on Fox news being behind these protests and their ratings from it. This is a part where she has a lil street cred because she knows how to kill ratings.





From out friends over at Hot Air the entire video right here



BTW.....When is Keith gonna get a time out for his spoon feeding of this imbecile. Don Imus was backhanded for damn near the same thing but yet Keith get's hair gel and a stylist for yet another day. I wonder when the board of directors at MSNBC and NBC are gonna smack Zucker and get rid of the former sportscaster. Which will be a sad day for all of us who enjoy watching the deranged talk to the truly deranged.

Right Michigan's top 10 reasons to do the TEA parties

Top 10 lists are always a favortite of mine. This one comes from our freinds over ar the blog Right Michigan on the 10 reasons to attend the TEA party in Lansing.

If you can't make Lansing because you live in Texas attend one anyway, the FUTURE of this country depends on it!

I smell some TEA brewing

As I said in a earlier post what a great way to start the week. First, yesterday was Easter Sunday and on this very special day for Christians another miracle of sorts happened when Captain Richard Phillips was rescued by U.S navy seals.

And now this Wednesday is the National TEA party held at locals ALL over the good ole US of A.

Here in MICHIGAN this is going to be the start of changing the way this state government has done business for YEARS. Today's Detroit News has a very interesting article about the upcoming TEA parties and quotes Scott Hagerstrom from Americans for Prosperity on how our Governor has NOT learned her lessons in business 101 very well!!!

"It seems that all Lansing wants to do is solve problems by raising taxes, using Michigan citizens as an ATM," said protest organizer Scott Hagerstrom, Michigan director for the Americans for Prosperity, a national free market advocacy group.

"The governor has proven that the way to bring businesses to Michigan is to cut taxes," he said. "The film industry is flourishing here now because of their tax cuts and we want them for all Michigan citizens. Take the shackles off everyone so they can use their creative prowess."

This is a great point, cut TAXES and you don't have to fly all over the world to bring business to Michigan, business will come to you!!!

I hope if your in Michigan you will be able to join me in Lansing this Wed at noon with Smart Girl politics, #don't go movement and with special Guest, Joe the Plumber. If you can't make it to Lansing or live in some other great part of this republic then check out this website


GET INVOLVED and help to bring this state and the rest of the country back to fiscal sanity, one voter at a time if need be!

Happy Easter & Other cool stuff

What a great way to start the Week. Easter starts off the week with the celebration of Jesus beating Death and Sin over the noggin.

Capt Richard Phillips was brought to safety by the U.S navy seals after being held by terrorists ( SCREW calling them Pirates)

And Tea Parties are happening this week to start the process of taking the federal government back to a responsible spending schedule.

I hope everyone had a GREAT Easter and is ready for the coming fights. Let's go out and make a difference and have some FUN doing it

Tea Parties are coming .....Tea Parties are coming

The TEA parties are coming to a city near you. This is the chance to get out and show WHY this country still rocks the damn world and to show the socialists who are trying to make us mundane that THEY are insane.

I personally will be at the Lansing , Michigan TEA party with about 1000 or so other like minded patriots( including Smart Girl Politics, Don't go movement & Joe the Plumber) who are sick of the spending that this administration and previous ones have shoved down our throats.

I ask EVERYONE get involved and help to make a difference, this country is too precious to allow misguided people follow flawed and failed policies that have ruined other countries.


If you need to find a tea party near you go to..http://taxdayteaparty.com/


And to get ready for the PARTY watch this video to get a lil pumped up. A big thanks to fellow blogger and RFC radio contributor Ms Leslie Carbone who posted this on her excellent blog site here






I just LOVE the fact that John Lennon and the plastic OH NO band are featured for the song.........But this April 15 th is truly going to be POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Santelli'sTea Party, July would be better

Rick Santelli SNAPPED. He went right over the top and declared war.

Well not really.

As you can see from this video right here he goes on a mini tangent that makes a whole lot of sense and struck a chord with middle America. He proposes doing a New Boston Tea Party in Chicago in July.

A Grand Idea. A noble endeavor to pursue and to plan for so that in 4 months a rally could be put on to show the Goverment this is bull $%^& and were sick of taking it on the chin.

So what do Conservative leaders do? They plan for one Feb 27 in cities across the nation. While CPAC is going on in Washington. On a FRIDAY, which just to clarify is still one of the 5 work days and with less than 8 days to prep.

Now I have no problem with doing multiple demonstrations across the country for those who might not be able to travel. Planning one for Feb in Northern cities is just plain DUMB.Doing one also with VERY little time to plan is also a potential problem and doing it during the week is just plain irresponsible. If this was planned out to where people could make arrangements for work IN ADVANCE that would not be an issue.

We have been very critical of the Democrats for ramming a plan down the throats of the American People with the Battle Cry of something , anything has to be done and rightly so. We go and try to put a nation wide rally together in 7 days, smacks of the same mentality, do anything something now!!!!!

There are a ton of really good people working their asses off to make this a success this Friday. I hope it is, the nation is looking for answers right now and the conservative movement has them.

I just hope this does not blow up for if it does it could slow down the momentum from a backlash started by Santelli's comments. And if that happens all to satisfy some people needs to be called " LEADERS" in the movement, more interested in having conference calls than actual rational planning that would be a DAMN SHAME.
