POPSGlenn Beck Compares Derailing Health Care To Preparing For 9/11 
HERE IS A TRANSCRIPT OF BECK: Ten years ago, I could have shouted every single day about Osama bin Laden and his wacky crazy threats to kill Americans in New York and nobody would have been willing to stand in line two hours while some security officer made grandma take her shoes off. No one would have done it. But don't you see. While the government is still not willing to do these things, today America is different. America has changed. Washington, we're not going to let you get away with it anymore. Look, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Conservatives are awake. 9/12ers are willing to do the hard things. We know what this means! We're taking time out of our busy lives, taking time away from their families, they're attending town hall meetings. Do you think they want to do that? They are calling their representatives. How many times do we have to be yelled at by your people in Washington? They are reading 2,000-page healthcare bills on the weekend. The 9

POPSFree Speech: Court Reverses $5 Million Ruling Against Gay, Jew, and Soldier-Hating Westboro Baptist 
They'll also target Jewish temples: "The bigots will protest on Saturday in front of Congregation Beth Elohim on Eighth Avenue in Park Slope at 9:45 am, at Union Temple on Eastern Parkway in Prospect Heights at 10 am and the Kane Street Synagogue in Cobble Hill at 12:30 pm on the eve of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. On Wednesday, church spokeswoman Shirley Phelps-Roper said the rallies were not anti-Jewish or anti-gay. 'How about we call it an ‘Obey your God’ rally?' she said. 'You Jews and gays have got to put away your false gods, your idols and your filthy way of life.' She added that 'God hates the disobedient.' ... 'We picked these weekends because these are the high holidays,' she said. 'You Jews broke the covenant with God. The beast is going to bring the nations to march upon Jerusalem. Your houses will be destroyed and your women ravaged. It’s going to make the Holocaust, the Babylonian captivity and the destruction of the Temple look like a tea party.

POPSObama Takes on Glenn Beck and ‘Tea Party’ Critics Over Healthcare
Then the President boarded Air Force One for a quick trip to Minneapolis for a rally on health insurance reform. Meanwhile, back in Washington Beck was broadcasting live on the Fox News Channel as part of something he’s dubbed “The 9-12 Project.” The occasion was a “tea party” march and rally organized by “FreedomWorks” to protest the “irresponsible government takeover of our nation’s healthcare, devastating new energy taxes, and trillions of dollars in red ink.” The video can be viewed online at www.whitehouse.gov.

POPSDo You Trust Barack Hussein Obama?
and it has nothing to do with the color of the president’s skin. Claiming to bring a “new kind of politics” to Washington, the only thing “new” was just how far off the ethical scale Team Obama has conducted itself. While asserting the administration would be “transparent” and frustrate the status quo of special interests and lobbyists, Obama and his cohorts have systematically cut backroom deals with every imaginable special interest; drug companies, auto unions, and doctors all enjoyed “favors” worth billions of dollars. Then, when faced with a real grass-roots movement, Obama, his supporters, the mainstream media, and the leaders of his party went to extremes in painting the country’s citizens as “Nazis,” “Brown Shirts,” “un-American,” and “astroturfers.” Claiming average citizens were a “mob” that was doing the bidding of his political opponents, Obama, et. al., labeled upset Americans as unhinged racists and more than implied they were implied they were . . .

POPSIn President Barack Obama Backyard, 10,000 Patriots Unhappy About Unstainable Government Spending
New Lenox Tea Party Express draws 10,000 YouTube (1:58) On tax day, the tea party movement began in earnest. Until now the movement has remained at the local levels. No longer will that be the case. The movement is coming to Washington on September 12, 2009 for a march and rally at the US Capitol. From autos to banking, the government is crowding out the private sector of our economy. Where Bush bailed out the private sector, Obama is making hostile government takeovers. Ignoring our multi trillion dollar deficit, Washington is considering a massive new energy tax and a takeover of health care. On Saturday, September 12th FreedomWorks will be joined by over ten thousands of liberty-loving activists to take a stand against politicians who are bankrupting our future. National co-sponsors include Tea Party Patriots, ResistNet, National Taxpayers Union, Americans For Tax Reform, Young Americans for Liberty, Ayn Rand Center, Campaign for Liberty, Free Republic .

POPSTEA Party Express Rolls Into AddisonTX via freerepublic.com
Tea Party Express - "Returning Freedom and Liberty Back To Its Rightful Owners" Fine looking mob. I like the sign that says, “2010 is coming.” Tea Party Express stopped at I-30 Rest Area near Mt. Vernon around 3PM to a pretty good crowd of 800 to 1200 (my guess), quite the crowd for this small rest area. Cars parked 1/4 mile both ways! Truckers flying by honking. At least local TV covered it. Very nice Tea Party!!! I was so scared looking at all of those right wing, extreme, terrorists. /LOL Sign up for the 09.12.09 Protest at the Capitol! It’s time to take the tea party movement directly to Washington, D.C. Please join thousands of local organizers and grassroots Americans from across the country as we gather in our nation’s capital to deliver a message to the politicians: Enough!

POPSOne Marine's Letter-Perfect Constitutional Instruction Explained to the People in Congress!
Curtman cited interior National Guardsmen who were ordered to take weapons from citizens of the New Orleans area in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina as an example of orders that defy the Constitution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y98HxYbsdBM&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffranklincountypatriots.org%2F&feature=player_embedded "If I did what some of our elected officials have ordered done, I'd spend my life in Leavenworth (prison)... My allegiance doesn't lie with any party," Curtman said. "My allegiance lies with the Constitution because that's where my freedoms lie." If you haven’t seen it yet, you can also watch the July 4th Tea Party videos here. http://franklincountypatriots.org/videos/ Joshua Smith, dressed in 1700's era military clothing, told the audience that a true patriot is someone who is willing to stand up to government entities for what they know is right.

POPSTea Party Activist Uses Racist Picture of Obama Experience some of the tea party activists up close and personal as I have done and you won't be the least bit surprised that one prominent member of their "movement" fowarded this racist picture of President Obama. It was supposed to be "funny stuff." But pressed on what was funny about an image that plays on racist stereotypes about Africans, McKalip declined to say, instead offering to talk about why he opposes Obama's health-care proposals. "I have a busy day," he said eventually, before ending the call.

POPS Obugger's Wealth Share...um...Health Care Ten Reasons Why Medicare for All Will Be AWESOME! 1. It’s patriotic to pay taxes. If you have to pay taxes anyway, you might as well fund a good cause, excessive taxation being the greatest form of charity (for those who didn’t earn the money in the first place). Medicare for All is as good a cause as any other, except for maybe freedom. Besides, it’s not every day you get to put best in class American ingenuity into the hands of bureaucrats and completely destroy it, all while finding your government sponsored sunny breezy day. This satire has been cross-posted at Smart Girl Nation and The American TEA Party. http://smartgirlpolitics.ning.com/forum/topics/health-care-ration-book http://teapartyamerica.blogspot.com/2009/06/ten-reasons-why-medicare-for-all-will.html

POPS Anti-Tax Crusade To Storm Capitol "There is no central governing body behind this," said Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity and one of the movement's many informal leaders. "It's a genuine grass-roots movement, so I think you will continue to see an array of grass-roots protests giving voice to their concern that they have of losing their freedom, specifically their economic freedom." "In some areas we've noticed tea party activists are getting involved in local government in school boards, town councils, and a lot of national Web sites are popping up to organize for another massive tea party day push," said Adam Bitely, director of new media at Americans for Limited Government. The Web sites have names like http://teapartypatriots.org/. Mr. Bitely runs http://www.netrightnation.com/, which aggregates all of the Web sites and reports on the movement's progress. "It's kind of a general post on what everyone's doing," he said.
