A Reuters correspondent was on-hand for our leadership conference this weekend and filed this report:
A Tea Party leadership conference in Dallas on Saturday urged the conservative movement’s activists to adopt old-fashioned, get-out-the-vote tactics, including driving people to the polling booth.
“This is something ACORN has been doing,” said Dallas Tea Party activist Lorie Medina, referring to the left-leaning group that conservative Tea Party types love to hate....
Much of what Medina said mirrored tried-and-true strategies employed by both Republicans and Democrats, including organization by zip code, voter registration drives, neighborhood walks and signing up members for affiliates.
The conference was a sign the movement — it grabbed headlines last year as it channeled conservative opposition to President Barack Obama’s policies into nation-wide protests against bank bail-outs, the drive to overhaul healthcare, and other aspects of the White House agenda — is becoming more focused.

Would it be possible to post Richard Viguerie's speech on the DTP website?
We've received some good coverage this week in the Dallas Morning News:
"WASHINGTON – Texas has one of the most conservative delegations in Congress, yet more than half of the state's Republicans in the U.S. House face challengers from the right – most inspired by the anti-tax Tea Party movement.
"We have been encouraging people to get involved and ... to seriously consider running for office" against politicians whose views of government don't match their own, said Dallas attorney Ken Emanuelson, a leader in the local Tea Party movement. "That's a good thing."
In Texas, 11 of 20 Republicans have drawn challengers. In nearly every case, Tea Party connections are apparent..."
Tea Party challengers aren't limited to Federal races:
Republicans have more internal fights to settle than Democrats. Seventeen Republican [State] House incumbents must shake off challenges in the March 2 primary before they can turn their eyes to November.
GOP strategists credit the Tea Party movement for at least six of the challenges: those to Reps. Charlie Geren of Fort Worth, Todd Smith of Euless, Vicki Truitt of Keller, Tommy Merritt of Longview, Delwin Jones of Lubbock, and Hopson of Jacksonville.

I think it is a great idea to run some opposition candidates against sitting Republicans and Democrats to remind them that we are watching and paying attention. However, when they lose, as we both know, they probably will, they must not be those who say that when you vote for the lesser of two evils, you are still voting for evil. They must get behind the winners. As Ronald Reagan said, if they are with me 80% of the time, they are friends. If these folks sit out the fight against the liberals, the liberals will win and that will be a catastrophe.
These are great news!!!
For those of us that have screamed and rallied and have opposed this take over of our liberties. But we must continue the fight. The left will only get nastier and back room deals will get uglier. Just wait, they are desperate and we haven't seen their worse yet!
We must persevere!

I am running for a Precint Chair in #130, so I went to the ballot draw for the Collin County GOP. There is a lot of excitement for all the interest in running for office, and I think there is some nervousness as well. Some of the status quo folks are feeling the changes. There is some concern about whether the tea party movement will help or hurt the GOP. Overall the feel I got was very positive for the tea parties, especially for their role in getting conservatives off the couch and into races.
I went to the 9-12 Tea Party Rally in D.C. and have been encouraged ever since that day! The silent majority are most assuredly no longer silent (from every state in the nation) and thank God conservatives are now willing to invest in the political process in order to make a difference. I extend my personal "thank you" to each one of them...very much appreciating all the time and money they will devote to their campaigns in order to allow us the privilege of voting for conservatives!
We should push every primary as far to the right as possible. Shake every incumbent up to make them understand the direction their party needs to move. But, in the general elections we need to vote for the candidate of the party most willing to move in our direction. General elections might call for compromise because they seat the legislators. But, the primaries determine the platforms.
Good work! I'm delighted to see so many conservatives running for office in 2010. Let's shake up the Republican establishment!

Because we the people do not read the Constitution to know what the true law is. We do not know our own guaranteed freedoms, liberties and rights are under the law.

I don't think waiting until the nov. election can stop or reverse the major changes being enacted by the current congress.We need to stop this NOW.
We already know they're not going to listen to our collective voices, calls or faxes.Therefore, we need to be more proactive. Perhaps we should impose something like our government does to rouge nations i.e. sanctions. We could organize all the tea party members, 9-12er's ( I went to DC)and other like minded people to demand congress stop and/or repeal these new laws or we'll impose some form of sanction'(s). The only thing that comes to mind that they care about is tax dollars. We could start with, say a work stoppage, until they listen to we the people, everyone including childern could stay home and away from all forms of commerce one day a month, perhaps the first week day of each month, then if after a couple of months congress still does not bend to the will of the people we could increase the work stoppage from one to two days

Now we need to purge all the communists (AKA Progressives) from the conservative party like McCain, Huckabee, Bush, etc., otherwise they will simply carry on this coup!
Bud Kennedy, an employee with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, recently posted a column entitled 'Some Tea Party, 912 Project groups look like same old political factions.'
Although Mr. Kennedy's column included certain information that was factual, the column also included certain points that were absolutely wrong. Of course, all of these inaccuracies could've easily been cleared up prior to publication had Mr. Kennedy afforded us the courtesy of contacting us for a response before going to print.
For the record, Dallas Tea Party and The Common Sense Texans Network are non-partisan, non-profit organizations. None of the people involved in either organization are being paid for their efforts, and there is no external funding for our effort. To the extent that we have raised any money, it has been from our own members. None of our leaders or key people are Republican consultants. Our members' identities and contact information are not shared with any other organization, and are certainly not shared with any political party or campaign. Those are the facts, and to the extent that anyone doubts any of the above facts, we would be more than happy to provide further information.
Unfortunately, Bud Kennedy didn't take the time to do anything even resembling research before writing his column. Kennedy remarks:
"Turns out I’m not the only person who’s leery of these fake grassroots activist groups sprouting on every block."
As a genuine bottom-up, grassroots activist group, we're also leery of fake grassroots activist groups. Of course, we suspect that Kennedy is inferring that Dallas Tea Party is some sort of fake grassroots activist group. That dog won't hunt. We're a bottom-up group of equal-opportunity offenders, as anyone who's been paying attention can tell you.
Although Kennedy's column includes a modicum of fact, he mixes it in with a fair measure of falsehood and misleading innuendo, such that a reader could easily arrive at the wrong conclusions. We thought it a good idea to set the record straight.

As I've heard, "those who are talking don't know, and those who know aren't talking." When Pelosi first started to characterize the Tea Party, I knew she didn't know what she was talking about. Actually it's kind of funny to hear outsiders try to tell us about us! And by the way, boo on Bud Kennedy; yea Ken, way to go!
As a co-coordinator of the NE Tarrant Tea Party (NTTP) from Colleyville, I am amazed by the clear intent of Mr Kennedy to just plain lie about the DFW tea party movement. I gave this "reporter" my card at the Dec 8th forum we hosted; never heard from him but now have read TWO articles whose clear aim is to discredit NTTP one way or the other. Our voter education and candidate accountability efforts do provoke outrageous distortion from Mr. Kennedy; we must be doing something right.
Bud, like others in the media think of themselves as intellectuals and will follow the liberals off a cliff. How smart do you have to be to understand we are involved in an unsustainable ponzi scheme. These folks while probably well meaning have never had to make a business work much less a country. They are afraid of the truth so they will do their best to divide and conquer hoping to put off the consequences forever. Hopefully we will be INTELLIGENT enough not to fall for it.
Am I naive or pragmatic? I have been to enough Tea Party rallies to see for myself that this is truly a grass roots movement. I can't read the minds of the speakers and promoters of these rallies, but I've talked to the participants and they are very savvy as to what is happening. Why else would it scare so many entrenched pundits and politicians. Be that as it may, I do think it is a shame that year after year after year the Libertarian Party keeps throwing away all of those perfectly good votes while the whole country has to set back and swallow the Marxist cr_p that is now taking the form of legislation. With very few exceptions, the future legislators from the smallest bergs to the largest metropolitan areas of America will be either Republican or Democrat. You Libertarians should pick one or the other and come join the Tea Party Movement to help us make the necessary reforms to reverse the direction this country is headed. Personally, I am at heart a libertarian and if the Liberta

I listen to conservative radio broadcasts from Dallas almost every day. I consider myself a conservative. I'd like to take part in Tea Party rallies, but the distance is a problem. Are there any Tea Party groups in the East TX area that you are aware of? We need a rallying point here too.
I listend to only part of Laurie Medina's interview on NPR and had to leave. I'd like to know which of our freedoms are being taken away from us specifically and also specifically what the tea party members stand FOR. Also, I question if moderate Democrats would participate in a movement that is so clearly right-wing fringe, inspired by Glenn Beck, who is more about fiction than fact. Thanks!

I hate to see any new bills but a new one prohibiting any employer from providing any health care for their employees. This would remove buisness from any type of mandates and put everyone to be personally responsible for getting their own health care solution. Employers could just increase an employees income to include what they may have been paying for insurance. After all it is our own responsibility to take care of ourselves just like we do with our car, house, pets and anything else we value in life. We then would have government trying to tell us personally what we have to do about our health insurance and I do not think that settles to good with the majority of people.

Warning...Senator Patrick may not be telling voters the whole truth about some of these proposed amendments. On Proposition #10 (I just got off the phone with the office of the Sec. of the State) and they concluded that Prop.#10 will permit elected and NON-ELECTED ESD Board Members to serve terms of 4 years instead of 2 year terms. That office stated that most ESDs have appointed members... and keep in mind these ESD Boards levy taxes. I do not want an unelected appointee to be levying taxes upon me for 4 long years... without being elected. Voters should vote 'NO' to Proposition #10 as appointees to these taxing ESD Boards should be limited to 2 year terms.
Secondly...Senator Patrick and most other politicians will not admit to the real truths and downfalls of Proposition #11. Prop.#11 will give the Tx. Legislature the legal statutory authority (with a 2/3rds vote of both houses. NOTE: most bills signed by the Governor pass by even larger margins)to grant non-governmental uti

Mr.Dennis,
I was very grateful to you for getting out there and cleaning Mr.Matthews' clock. He so obviously went up against you thinking you were a birther and seccessionist, both of which are ludicrous, not to mention ugly ideas. You magnificently hammered him with fact after fact about people like us who love this country and don't want to see it flushed down the toilet. By the end he looked like a punch-drunk boxer holding onto the ropes for dear life. It's voices like yours that helps voices like ours get heard and for people like him to get a shot of truth. Thanks a million Mr.Dennis.

I was a member of Farm Bureau up until about 6p. on Oct. 11, 2009... and that is when I publically dropped my FB membership (annual mtg. and dinner). Farm Bureaus eminent domain attorneys support passage of Prop.11... but it is these same attorneys who will see a huge influx of new business as a result of the passage of this counterfeit proposition. Proposition #11 is a counterfeit eminent domain bill as instead of cutting back on entities who have the power to use eminent domain, Prop.11 allows for the granting of eminent domaion powers to non-governmental utility providers who currently do not have these powers (your non-governmental water, electric, telecommunications, and even your local cable provider). Slipery politicians removed wording that would've required 'JUST' compensation being paid when land is 'taken'. Legislators even replaced the words 'utility providers and common carriers' with just the word ENTITY (in the enrolled version of HJR14... just so one wouldn't see
A Tea Party endorsed group for Prop Eleven? Are you kidding me? Don't read the summary and think you know what it will do. Read the actual wording instead. This is a nightmare waiting to happen.
Unless you want to make a career out of fighting eminent domain abuse every time the Texas Legislature is in session, vote against this garbage. This is special interest driven and will allow by law the presumption that any "taking" the paid-off scum in the Lege wants to accomodate is ok, and those who want to fight back will have the eminent domain concept to work AGAINST more them than for them from the start.
And by the way: If Prop Eleven passes, say hello to the Trans Texas Corridor reborn and any other quasi-private theft of rights-of-way you can conceive of, and some you can't even imagine yet.
Empower Texans my foot!!! Empower them to do what? Surrender? No, Thanks.

Now I'm wondering why...it certainly gives me no advantage when it comes to participating, albeit in a small way, in shaping the government of the country I love.

jallenAs the left-wing media watches their socialist dreams come crashing down before their eyes, you can expect that they will only amp up the lies and the rhetoric.
As much as we may hate to admit it, some are getting to where nothing from the old-school left-wing media surprises much anymore. Nonetheless, the fact that TIME Magazine has descended to the point where it will publish something at this level, even online, may surprise some.
[T]he things that scare the teabaggers--the renewed sense of public purpose and government activism, the burgeoning racial diversity, urbanity and cosmopolitanism--are among the things I find most precious and exhilarating about this country. And even though the teabaggers' pinched, paranoid sensibilities are now being stoked by Boss Rush and the leaders of the Republican party, I take comfort in this: the racists and nativists have always been with us, and they have always lost.

I enjoy how all of the politicians and commentors on the Left have decided to do their part to help drive our turnout. I realize they are attempting to play by Alinsky's Rules for Radicals (e.g. Ridicule is man's most potent weapon, Personalize the target, freeze it, polarize it). These tactics work well against specific people in power. When used against angry, powerless people, they function in reverse.
The stupidity of the Left's reaction to the Teaparty movement cannot be overstated. In order to suppress opposition to their agenda, they needed to assuage the anger of the people protesting. By first choosing to ignore, then ridicule the Teapartiers, they stoked the very anger they needed to minimize.
I am still stunned that none of the Democrats' political consultants put a stop to their utter madness as soon as it began, but then again, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised in the least. After all, socialism is a political philosophy based on a fundamental misunderstandin

I don't read Time, The New York Times, or watch MSNBC or CNN, or the other fringe channels. They are truly absurd and not worth the paper they are printed on. What was once called the mainstream media is now nothing but the fringe media. They are losing their audiences rapidly and this is a good thing.
Isn't it amazing that they continually spout this garbage to such ridiculous extremes? What astonishes me even more is that in their arrogance they've completely lost sight of reality. They're NOT stupid people, but so wrapped up in their radical agenda that they resort to lies and distortions, filthy labels and condescension. Obviously, we scare the heck out of them! lol

While they expand themselves spewing venom, we can resolutely move forward, focus on action, & take back our country in 2010 & 2012! The Acorn debacle is a great milestone we should all celebrate.

As much as this will anger many (including myself) my stance is to remain calm, read and study "Rules for Radicals" itself written by hateful democrats, and counter attack quietly and consistently, just as we have been doing. It the dems were not so frightened of what we (nations teaparties) were doing they would not keep throwing this "racism" idiocy out there. It has become a divide for sure, and we will win as it is the right thing. If folks would read their Bible they would see that God does not protect man from his own free will. Just do the right thing is all that is asked of us.
The leftists, socialists, or (calling them what they are - Communists) have infested our universities and our media. We send our children off to college and they return to us socialists. They too want to be considered an intellectual so they emulate their supposedly "highly intelligent" professors who have indoctrinated them. They go to work in the media and this is what we get. One of the goals of the Tea Party movement must be to take back our universities and rid them of the Ward Churchills and Bill Ayres. Without doing that, we surely will lose our country. Obama is president right now because of the votes of the 30 to 40 year old crowd who wanted to vote for the cool black "intellectual" guy rather than the old, dumpy, white headed, "has been".

Thank you for your analysis of the Lib's actions. I think Glenn has hit on something by pointing out their corruption. If we take the time to discover the corruption and point it out in such a way that the general public cannot ignore we can release their hold on the weak at heart. Their own actions betray the basic truths that they hope to project to the world. Remember the phrase "The whole worlds Watching"?
I too went to DC. We need to continue this march to take our country back from those that would harm it. Thank you for being here.

We need to find out all affiliates of these LIARS & HATERS, ie: GE--NBC--MNBC--TIME-- any of them that are associated, we DO NOT have to buy their products or participate with them in commerce in anyway.
If you may have noticed GE has been running many "nice guy, we love our country & GIs" commercials a lot lately, Bill O'Reily has a handle on them and thier Iraninan connections etc.

I was at the tea party in D.C. and did not see any signs that could be construed as racist and I walked from one end to the other.
No one I know of watches MSLSD, CNN, or the other left wing media.
They do not report the news accurately anymore, so I just get my news from FOX news.

You are correct, the left is attacking us and will continue to do so without so much as a second thought that we are right. The Times editorial is just another example of how much they fear us and the impact we ARE making. I tell my friends to Stay the Course, continue on withou the distractions or getting your feelings hurt by their rhetoric. I love this country and I want my Republic back. None of these impotent talking heads is going to sway me from the mission.

We need to continue to do what we are doing in an organized orderly manner. Inform the general public as to what the constitutional role is for the federal government and, we need to continue to mock the liberals.
We also need to stage a simultaneous nation wide rally in front of ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN.

They can ignore our 912 march, they can call us names, they can try to scare us; but, they cannot take away our power to vote and our power to buy. We are too big to be taken out by their Saul Alinsky rules, and we can save our Constitution and the greatness of this country. The new name for the mainstream media is FRINGE MEDIA. Don't watch them. Don't buy their publications. VOTE the radical, liberals who have tried to insult us OUT of office. Power to the people, and God bless America!
It is like driving in Houston on 610 - a lot of lane-swervers, high speed tailgaters, drivers under the influence, people who are late getting somewhere, texters..... the only way to make it through is to keep focused on what you are doing, know what is around you and forge on.
We know that our purpose is grounded in the defense of our liberty, freedom and Constitution.

We should keep our "signs" directed toward getting corrupt government out instead of anything that might be taken as racial. The least ammunition they have to work with the better.

The "left" is in a state of disarray. As they see their house of cards falling before their eyes they are resorting to the only thing left to them - name-calling. There is nothing of any substance left for them, so as a last resort they are trying to silence the majority of the American public with name-calling. It is like watching a spoiled child that can't get his way!
This type of "journalism" does not surprise me at all; I have been teaching a course on media bias for years and the available material is overwhelming. I am proud of the marchers and wished I could have joined in, but I have a broken foot and could not walk (still can't) but I was there in spirit. I am ready to fight this bias, the liberal machine, the Marxist who think they are main stream, and the elitist who think we are too dumb to think for ourselves and who think they know what is best for us, that we just do not understand the situation.
The way we fight them is in numbers, but we need to be smart about it, and we need to avoid anything that will give them fodder for their bias slant. As much as I admire what Joe Wilson did, he gave them a chance to make everyone opposed to Obama and his ilk seem to be unhinged. We need to be cool, calm and unruffled as we march against the tyranny. We will win this!

After reading that article might we be able to say in return (Nancy Peloisi) that the lefts rhetoric was the cause of the white child being beat up on the bus by the black students? And might be also say to the Dallas Morning News that we (the teabaggers) were their base of newspaper readers for many years and since they have so heinously insulted us it is no wonder that they are sinking fast? I also heard on Rush's show last week that Time had written an article saying that white babies were born racists - that by the time they were 6 months old they could tell the difference in black skin. Oh Pleaseeeeee.
A friend of mine told me he finds all of "this stuff" so depressing that he is even having trouble sleeping. I told him that I am energized and motivated to fight back. Freedom and liberty are worth fighting for as our brave men have done in numerous wars for the safety and security of our country. Just as ACORN, Obama and the libs in Congress are getting their heads handed to them on a platter by ordinary citizens like us, of course the liberal media is going to jump in with a full assault on us. The liberal media is also getting their heads handed to them on a platter so this is how they fight back: with lies and a CYa effort for their Democrat friends in the White House and Congress and in many Soros-funded "activist" groups. We must not tuck tail and run but become more determined to stand up for what is right.
I attended the march on Washington D.C. and the first thing that I found remarkable was just how NORMAL everyone was. These were people I see in the mall, at work, in church, at the grocery store. There was no yelling, no violence, no arguing.
They can call us all racists if they choose but that word is starting to fall flat. Soon the left will discover that using racism to counter every valid argument we make against turning over our country to socialism will be a losing argument.
It's so important that our enthusiasm doesn't diminish. We have to continue our protest against tyranny until we change the face of Congress and restore America to the freedom we used to enjoy.

It's no suprise that NBC or MSNBC are in our socialist government's pocket. They are owned by GE ( http://blogs.bnet.com/ceo/?p=2804 )which is feasting on the government's taxpayer supported troth. Their CEO Jeffery Immelt is on BHO's advisory board. Recent news is that GE is working some kind of deal with Russia. Wonder how they got that?
I never buy any socialist rags like Time or even local newspapers. And, I will never buy another GE product!

It seems to me that, more than anything, the mainstream media is angry that there is a movement afoot with momentum, and they had nothing to do with it can't influence. It was great when they denigrated President Bush. Now that there is strong public reaction to the radical "regime" in office, they don't like the shoe on the other foot!! DEMOCRACY IN ACTION.
What slander! Is there no defense? What we need is someone with the punch that could do main stream tv, radio, interviews, etc. Surely there is a super star somewhere who would be willing to stand up. Where is John Wayne when we need him.lol
Seriously though, we need a national spokesperson.

The media wants this man in office because he represents their ideology. Let's face it, the president (who in my opinion should be above this) calls a rapper, "a jackass" and it sells papers and air-time. The media did their level best to get Obama in office and sadly, people accepted his rock and roll message of "change" because they are sick to death of Washington's antics. Forgive the people who voted for this clown for they know not what they do.
The media will continue to obfuscate as it is the only means they have left at their disposal. In my years of blogging I have always found that when someone pulls the race card, or begins calling someone names, it is usually because they have lost their argument.
The fact remains, this administration's policies are raping our country of every liberty we have grown to love and accept as our very being. In my opinion, when I look at this newbie Obama, the only color I see is green. It is time to take back our country and

It is so sad that the left wing must resort to such rhetoric. Their arugment has no clarity nor does it make sense so they turn to this type of talk. Shame on them. They have no idea that the more they talk like this the stronger it makes us.
What I don't understand is if they don't love this country, its history, the Constitution and all that it stands for, why do they stay? I am sure that they there are many nations in this world that would welcome their kind.

Race is their weak defense. They use it to skirt the issues.Even though they say these things about the Tea Partiers, they are scared of us and what we can do. Contrary to what they put in the public media, they know exactly what we are, what we are saying, and that we are right.
If we remain steadfast in our conviction to freedom they will implode. The truth shall set us free and the fringe media will go down kicking and crying. They are trying to isolate and castigate us in the eyes of the uninformed, but it will backfire on them. They depend on ignorance to continue their lies and innuendoes, so we must continue to make the truth available to the public.
We must not be surprised or shaken when we hear such vehement lies being spit at those of us who oppose the lies and stand for truth. It will intensify before it gets better. We are living in the time God speaks of in Hebrews 12:27 "Yet once more . . .the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, in order that those things which cannot be shaken may remain." He also says "woe to those who call good evil and call evil good". Friends we are there. As we watch everything around us shaken and collapsing there is only one unshakable place to be . . . the place of confidence and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. He has not brought us this far to abandon those who love and have faith in Him. I pray that your confidence is not in the financial markets, the government system, this administration, your job, or the integrity of those who have none but that your confidence is in our Lord Jesus Christ who has promised never to leave or forsake us. We must stand firm i
The "MSM" are on their last legs. The last national news person I remember watching was....heck, I can't even remember his name..the last ABC guy that even hinted of any reason...hey, I got it Harry Reasoner!
I welcome the day when they all go broke...never to be heard from again....
If I ever, ever slip up and accidentally spend any money on any of these people....forgive me....
My hope is that somehow my withdrawal of support from the MSM brings them down....but it is going to take all of us....

This makes me furious. My adopted son is part black. One of my best friends is black ( really black) and he is great guy- Ex Marine officer. Yep and I'm not black and I don't care. Until idiots like Jimmy "wreck the economy" Carter starts to shoot off his mouth.
This is hate speech. Time for a petition to congress to legislate this hate speech as illegal. How would these bums like that king of progressiveness?
I'll bet you could get 2 million to sign it.

did anyone see this? Robert Gibbs has some pretty strong (IGNORANT) words too. Can you imagine if a conservative made these comments to the media???
The outrage by the libbies would be insane. Yet this is acceptable? "Angry, Inbred Hillbillies"? We have more class and brains in our back pockets than Gibbs will ever have!!!!http://peacemoonbeam.typepad.com/scooters_report/2009/09/white-house-tea-party-protesters-inbred-hillbillies.html

I love it. We can just sit back and do what we do best it be politically active strong freedom loving American's and watch these news medias die a slow humiliating death. By the time they figure out that the majority of their audience are American, they will be bankrupt. While they are being rude and crude, Rush and Fox are growing by leap and bounds. Levin's book is selling a millions. I think the best revenge is economic revenge. They know deep drown what is right. They are just mad that we are not acting like a bunch of stupid sheeples.
The media has hit a new low. It is, I believe, a reflection of their own desperation. They cannot come to grips with reality. Americans just don't want what they are trying to sell. We are not racists. We are not violent. There were 1.7 million people in Washington DC on the 12th and not one incidence of violence or arrest. The name calling and slander is simply an attempt to divert attention from the real issues, and to silence opposition to "big government" policies through intimidation. We don't want big, intrusive government, or reckless spending, and borrowing that threatens to bankrupt our nation and undermine our currency. We want all Americans' children, and grandchildren to have a future, and to live in freedom. Debt, and dependence are threats to individual liberty.
Such labeling of the tea party movement shows the desperation of the left. I'm proud of all labels they have tried to stick on us. I have gone from a constituent to the masses, to right wing radical,to a mobster, last week a racist and now a tea bagger. Someday they may call me what I really am, a concerned citizen tired of government control of my life
The Statists' attempt to imprint the tag of "racist" on the Tea Party movement for criticizing the Statist agenda reveals their own "soft racist" paternalism that has hindered minorities for the last 50 years. Their primary hold on power is the maintenance of an hegemonic grasp on the minority vote. What better way to solidify that grasp than to conjure up the image of hooded Tea Partiers burning crosses on minority lawns? The fact that such incidents have not occurred in reality is not material to their propoganda tactics. These tactics will fail of their own weight, and further erode the residual trust in the liberal media and the Statist worldview. We oppose Statism and socialist impulse on the basis of Constitutional Principles as written by the Founders, and our signage and chants should reflect those Principles.
The race card has always been the last defense and is usually a 'stop-down' on whatever is being discussed. I find now that since I am educated on the policies, I can counter with policy information and why I have a problem with those policies. I no longer cringe and shut down when the word is thrown out there. Those who use the word indiscriminately are losing, and they know it.
calling us "teabaggers" and such only serves to fan the flames, my blood pressure goes up to be insulted in this manner when we oppose govt intrusion into our lives and are indentured via taxes. Personally, i have started a practice of voicing by 1st admendment rights by returning, usually thanks to the solicitor, mail for AARP, Time, etc with my own message, to TIMe it was " I dont subscribe to Socialist Govt News Magazines" along with a Dont Tread on Me Sticker. Keep it up Time, you are feeding the flames of freedom, courage and activism.
I am appalled!!! I knew that they were dispicable but now that I 'know' what they mean,naively had no idea,I am SO ANGRY at these people for this unbelievably derrogatory behavior that I am beyond words to describe it.
Thank you for your research because the only time I even see Time magazine or CNN is in a waiting room somewhere. I would never think of buying Time or choose to watch CNN. I think everyone should boycott both. We could hit 15 percent unemployment by Christmas! (or whatever the Muslim equivalent might be).
You just have to know how to translate their squealer the pig animal farm double talk.

Just boycott these left leaning, biased publications by not subscribing to them. Hurting them in the pocket book is the only thing that gets their attention as it is all they care about. The fact that these smut mongers have stopped representing the sentiments of the majority of the American people is the main reason they are facing shrinking circulation numbers and advertising dollars not to mention bankruptcy. Lets help that failure along a little bit by boycotting them as they only support failed economic policies of the past and the lowest common denominator in society.
Why is there surprise at the acts of the Democrats? Have you noticed that 95% of the democratic politicians are attorneys while 95% of the Republican politicians are businesspeople. Who can better twist the truth than an attorney? Every criminal trial has two sides. Who comes up with the strategy for defending the guilty party who always pleads "Not Guilty". It's not the criminal who thought of the defense strategy. I read that Obozo has over 7,000 attorneys on his payroll to cover all his loose ends and mistatements and to aggressively pursue all disidents against the Democratic party agenda.
Ken,
Do you think that we are too disparate a group to begin to put forward something that we are FOR?
It occurred to me as I read and watched the liberal editorials that you pointed out - thank you very much for doing so, by the way - that they have a valid point when they wonder what it is that we want.
I think that we, the members of 9/12 and the Tea Party, etc, are united in wanting liberty but have not stopped to define it. And we need to!
We seem to agree that: 1.) We don't want Socialism, and 2.) We seem to be headed towards Socilism willy-nilly with Obamacare as its spearhead.
We need to concentrate our efforts on spreading definitiions and examples of socialism and definitions and examples of individual liberty. Doing so would stop claims of us having a racial bias at our core dead in it tracks, and show a philosophical consensus intead.
At this point I will move into my personal preferences, so take the r

Come on, Ken, what did you expect? Time and CNN are PARTNERS!
We remember CNN, whose reporters go out to "report", but harangue people instead, or as I saw last week, misrepresented video to suggest that angry whites are carrying semi-automatic rifles and handguns to protests, by showing only the back and lower body of a protester carrying weapons, when in fact the gentleman turned out to be quite black!
It's time to stop being angry with these people (including the President and administration) and to start laughing instead. This whole business reminds me of the fable about the emperor and his new clothes. There is a great deal of idealism coming from this administration, but little or no real substance. I am beginning to believe that is it not true that the leftist media in this country ignores substantive abuses from this administration because they want President Obama to succeed. Rather, I think they are afraid that by actually reporting the truth about him, t

I have not met a Tea Party member that is not focused and passionate about helping our country keep our Constitutional rights. I will not allow the liberal media to stamp on my free speech and Constitutional rights in the United States of America. Read the article written by Steve Blow and James Ragland this morning in the Dallas Morning News (9-20-09). They want to spin everything!
I believe the key perspective on all this is that the group currently referred to as the "mainstream media" is fast becoming anything but that. They no longer cover what mainstream America is talking about. And by the very fact they are either NOT covering or GROSSLY DISTORTING those events and ideas that are flooding the internet, its blog sites and what is happening out in the streets and townhalls, what we refer to as the "mainstream media" is becoming the "fringe media". In reality, it is Fox News and the Wall St. Journal that are taking over as the new Mainstream Media because they are covering what America is talking about, outside the beltway. We should now bring into focus that the old "mainstream media" is now the fringe media and quit awarding them mainstream status when they simply no longer function in that capacity. By changing how we refer to them, we can set the discourse in a manner that holds the door open to America departing them even faster than it already is.
I was at the Washington event and for the first time in my many visits to the Nation's capital, I felt at home with urbane, partriotic, Americans of different races, nationalities and religions united in a common spririt.
I saw signs from Catholic Nuns, Cuban-Americans, Families, Disabled Americans, the elderly, children and everyone in between. The most energizing speakers were black and the crowd cheered all of them with the pride of knowing that everyone there supported the American spirit of hope, freedom, and the right of the individual to pursue their own dreams.
I am proud to have been there and know that we will all succeed, as a stronger nation that is united in the aspirations left behind by our founding fathers.
Let's hope that the left continues their attacks as it binds us stonger.

I have yet to see a Tea Party protest sign with racial tones. Stay focusd and get behind the GOP and urge them to ask questions! i.e.
Which members of congress are willing to be on this socialist health care plan and forgo thier cadillac retirement and pay into social security with the rest of us?
What is good for the goose is good for the gander!
There is no excuse for not reading a bill! This has got to stop!!!

The time has come to notify TIME magazine and its' supporters of immediate boycott of the magazine and the companies that choose to advertise in their pulp. As for being "fag", I welcome the writer to come have a meeting with us. Hmmmm I thought the libs were the party of the homosexuals.
Thanks for keeping us informed about the rhetoric the left is using. I don't spend any time reading or watching the left leaning media.
I am heartened that we have impacted them so much. We are a force to be reconded with, and they know it. We were all on the schoolyard when we were younger, and we know what happened when a bully got to us - we reacted in anger, and then he kept bullying us because they wanted the satisfaction of knowing that they could get under our skin. My reaction to this name-calling, bullying tactic is to smile and watch the bully look confused when he doesn't get a rise out of me.

Time magazine has always been liberal, and my father would not have it in our home, and this was back in the 40's! But today they have become a laughingstock of all magazines with most Americans. They probably won't be around much longer. That is why they are so angry!
Loved your pictures of all the patriots in DC on Sept. 12. Looked like 2 million to me.

My thought is that we are separated by a common language. We lack clear definitions around our terms of discourse such as terrorism, reform, life, patriot, torture, health care, rights, privileges, socialism, capitalism, etc. We cannot reach a middle ground because we have no idea where the middle is, coming from such divergent worldviews. The polarization of America, far from being healed by the election of Obama, is more acute than it has ever been. And the lack of respect that the Left has for anyone not Left will someday result in something more dangerous than name-calling.
We are continuing to separate as though we just experienced the Big Bang, and are moving away from each other at light speed.
I honestly can't see the two sides re-converging. A house divided........

It doesn't suprise me all. I was reading a Drover's magazine (a magazine for those in the cattle industry) and one of the writers made a comment which nailed my sentiments exactly. He was commenting on a piece that TIME had done on American agriculture trashing the industry. The writer for Drover's came to the conclusion that if TIME could get a story so wrong about agriculture which he knew to be wrong then why should he believe TIME is publishing credible reporting on subjects outside his area of expertise. He went on to say he had been a reader of TIME for many years which is where I parted ways with him. I have known for years that TIME and many of the other "mainstream magazines" are not interested in accurate reporting but only in pushing their agenda. The point is that this writer, who is not writing from the point of view of a tea party member, has seen first hand how the media intentionally or through extreme incompetence gets it wrong time after time.
Why this surprises anyone is beyond my comprehension. The folks that are saying these things believe that, if they can get people to focus on the BS that they put out there like racism and call ing people names, it takes the focus off the real issues. Health care, environmental warfare that was featured on Hannity, issues that really mean something to the American people. I've been called a racist all my life because of the color of my skin, not because of the beliefs that I have, no one bothered to look beyond skin color...I care about this country and I don't care if it is a black president or a white one, just do what is right for the American people.
Did we call people of color racist when they disagreed with Bush or any of our other presidents? NO, because it wasn't about race just as this isn't about race but about policy. They are playing the race card in hopes of getting people to back down, roll over and play dead! Boy, are they in for a surprise!!
It is interesting that they aren't recognizing the interview with the woman of color who said she had voted for Obama but did not approve of his policies and they had to stop. Also there were people of color who had "Long Legged Mack Daddy" on their signs which is the term Pastor Manning uses in refering to Obama but they aren't pointing those out.
To be honest they are desperately trying to find some way to stop Americans from interfering in their policies and their take over of America.
We did have a blast in DC 9/12 and I just explained to some people it was like a family or class reunion where you instantly feel comfortable with everyone and it's like you a

I firmly believe that by acknowledging their stupidity, is to give them credence. We should ignore it and keep our eye on the goal. We cannot stop to take notice each time they bash us, or we will never meet the goal. The more they say, the more ignorant they sound.
The problem with tolerance is its limits and the evolutions it promotes: For the Enlightened Absolutist (think Progressive, liberal-socialist, communist), Absolutism is a pretense for power, must be Relativistic, and tolerance a tool of license for the elite; for the Conservative, Absolutism is often political, social Rigamortis, excluding many unnecessarily and opening the doors to the tyranny of big government. English writer G. K. Chesterton - humorously or not I don%u2019t know - once observed of the historical cycles of politics:
%u201CThe whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.%u201D
Today, how far Tea Party Patriots (TPP) will push the envelope of protest-to-rebellion against the chilling headwinds of Statism under the direction of the Obama-nation-administration, depends very much on the ext
Gee,it was nice to hear from people who seem to have such good knowledge of the meaning of teabagging. From some of what I've read I guess Obama would be familiar with the term also.
MSNBC,CNN, ABC and all other liberal media are living in their own world. They don't realize among all us teabaggers there are Democrats and people who have never been politically active before and not just Republicans or Independents This cuts across all parties and all walks of life. This is about all Patriotic Americans who want their country back.
Let the Farmers in California have their water. Let Obama Care die
Let us drill for our ofwn oil. Let Cap and Trade die, Let Israel take out the nuke plants in Iran. Finish building the border fence. Cut taxes and let the market place work. Keep our military strong. cut out the pork spending.

KEN - YOUR Article can be used against you when you said:
"As to the rest of the TIME column, the hundreds of cameras present at the hundreds of Tea Party events seem to have somhow completely missed the signs and speeches denouncing miscegenation, Latinos, Asians, homosexuals, 'uppity blacks,' racial diversity, urbanity or cosmopolitanism."
FOX is the only "Fair & Balanced" source of TV News.

None of this rhetoric surprizes me. Read a few books about who we have in control and do judge the people he surrounds himself with and you have to be very stupid not to connect the dots. We only have two good chances the 2010 election and the 2012 election. If we can't make some sensible changes during these two elections then all bets for the country as we know it today are off. Our form of government will almost certainly be a socialist controlled nation if not fascist.
I find myself being less and less surprised all of the time at the rhetoric that the leftspouts. The more they spout, the more successful I think that we are. They are afraid and they should be. The vast majority of the American public loves our country but longs for a situation where government knows why it exists and it is not to completely run the lives of the people. We need to remain united and keep up the good fight--we must be doing something right if the left is this afraid.
One of the most important lessons I have learned in life is that you never ever back down from a bully or they just get meaner. That is exactly what we are facing...a big COLLECTIVE BULLY.
If we play nice they will walk all over us. I am not suggesting violence, but I am suggesting we go on the attack intellectually...something they would never expect or know how to react to.
I have read over the last few days some really good articles about how it is the left who are screaming "You racist!" are in fact racists themselves. How can that be you ask? It's because that is always the very first thing their minds think about...EVERYTHING is about that.
There is a very good article on Americanthinker.com called:
Science Proves: Maureen Dowd Is A Racist
"Using the logic of the Implicit Association Test we can prove "scientifically" that Dowd is a real, honest-to-God, objective racist.
Why? Because her first reflex association to "You Lie!" from R

Fellow Patriots,
This is not a surprise to any of us. This is not something new, or something we haven't seen before. If ever the voice of reason rears its head and dissents to the status quo, the status quo will always resort to mudslinging and underhanded tactics.
Advances have been made. Small victories have been won, and our hearts may be lightened and our morales may be high. But I warn you, this is a dangerous time. This is the time of false satisfaction, when those small victories have given us a false sense of security. While we may revel in our minute advances, the Democrats and left wingers of the world are plotting different, more dastardly ways to smear us, to make us sound stupid and uninformed. They are looking for new ways to portray us as hate mongers and racists, as bigots and alarmists. These are the words and terms by which we will be described in the coming months. Get used to them. They have main stream media at their disposal, and most ar

Thank you for your well written piece. I, like others here, would not have seen this had you not exposed it for us. (I also am obviously not up on my slang!) The beauty of this kind of propaganda from the left is that they can't seem to understand the point we are trying to make. Therefore, everything they write or broadcast completely misses the mark and that simply adds fuel to our fire! They know not what the do...
With the exception of the divisive politics of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or any manufactured disenfranchised or scorned identity to suit the misplaced modern day interpretation of Alinsky Rules for Radicals manual, the left truly has nothing to offer this great country of ours. NOTHING! A vacuous lot indeed. Please, someone employ them! Keep them busy doing real work!

On another topic. Nancy Pelosi smeared tea partyers last week by insinuating that there is an increasing threat of violence from the political opposition to the President's policies. As I am sure you all saw, she pulled a Hillary by tearing up when she said she had experience of this in California. We all need to call her on this distortion of the facts. Here is my email to her; I encourage you all to contact the Pelosi as well and set the record straight.
"Speaker Pelosi:
I found your teary comments about potential violence in current political opposition and activities disingenuous, at best. You referenced your experience in California, which I presume is the Harvey Milk assassination. Given that your recent comments seemed to suggest that there was a potential for political violence from tea partying opponents to the President's proposals, and given that the facts are the exact opposite, let me outline reality for you, Speaker Pelosi.

If only the fringe media, Hollywood elites and the cowards in congress would ask the tough questions and insist on answers that will "expose" the real Obama, his mentors and his true agenda which looking at it from all angles is destroying the United States of America and replacing, rebuilding, reshaping, reforming, restoring, whatever the wording it all leads to a utopian socialize government control country.
The way I view it from all his actions thus far it seems like his numero uno enemy is United States of America, what it stands for, its values, traditions and more than anything on what it was founded on the U.S. Constitution!
History will judge him and his enablers very harshly-
His Doctrine: The Enemy of Mine Enemy is My Friend"
Foreign Policy: "I Am Sorry, So Sorry I Apologize"
And his Legacy will ultimately be looked upon as "Hate Crimes Against America."
I hope I am wrong, delusional or just in a bad dream and will soon wake up.

As I told the Dallas Morning News it doesnt matter what you say the left has already decided I'm a racist,homophobe,Obama hater,etc... so I will carry on with my mission to take back our country as our founders set it up. I know the truth as does God and my family and that is all that matters.
To the charge below we would do well to remember the words of Patrick Henry
Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne!
Also remember these
It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians. Not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. for this very reason, peoples of other faiths have been afforded assylem, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.
The Bible is worth all the other books that have ever been printe

Totally what we would expect from these left-wing media groups that are upset that another opinion is not only being heard in the U.S. but also that they have no way to counter act it since it is true (that the govt. is taking too much hold and that the silent majority is silent no more). Take "time" to write the low -life's at these organizations and let them know that you do not appreciate being called a faggot. How interesting that these stations air propaganda like "Don't call people gay" but are so willing to use the terminology when it serves their purpose. Hmmmm, duplicity is once again afoot.
The future of our country is at stake and we must not let the far-left get our goat but I do feel we must be careful to always use signage that does not give them any fuel to fan the fire. I believe we must be respectful while at the same time be bold in our convictions. We must rise above thier uncalled for name calling by refusing to engage in the same behavior.
As much as this article infuriates me, it shows that we are making a difference. As much as one wants to lash out, we need to stay on course. Our friends and neighbors know that we are not the people depicted in articles like these or what some politicians are calling us. It lets people see first hand that the media is indeed off course, further aiding our views
the new york times also reported the g-20 protest as peaceful. in fact there were almost 200 arrests and 50,000.00 worth of damage. the tea party folks on 9/12 didn't leave so much as a gum wrapper and had no arrests but were reported as radical hate-mongering right wingers.
