Why do people attend Tea Parties?  Why?  Why do people make such a big deal over Obama's Socialist/Fascist policies?  Why are the founding father's such an important part of their patriotism?

A little about the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence:

And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America , having lost their morals, their work initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as “The One”. He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, “I am sent to save you. My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence. For I shall save you with Hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed.”

And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what “The One” would do, he had promised that he would bring change, and they proclaimed “Yes We Can”.

And “The One” said “We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!”

And the people said, “Hallelujah!! Change is good!”

Then He said, “We are going to tax the rich fat-cats,”—- And the people said “Sock it to them!” “—- and “Redistribute their wealth.”

And then He said, “Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody”

And the people said, “Show us the money!”

And Joe the plumber asked, “Are you kidding me? You’re going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??”

And “The One” ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe’s personal records were hacked, publicized, and ridiculed; though no crime could be found.

One lone reporter asked, “That shouldn’t be, isn’t that Marxist policy?”

And she was banished from the kingdom!

Then a citizen asked, “With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?”

And “The One” said, “Simple. I shall sit with them and talk kindly to them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!”

And the people said, “Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!”

Then “The One” said, “I shall give 95% of you lower taxes.”

And one, lone voice said, “But 40% of us don’t pay ANY taxes.”

So “The One” said, “Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!”

And the people said, “Hallelujah!! Show us the money!”

Then “The One” said, “I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!”

And the people yawned and the already slumping housing market fully collapsed.

And He said, “I shall mandate employer-funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage, and lower the white collar wage. And I shall also give every person unlimited health-care and medicine and even transportation to the free clinics.”

And the people said, “Give me some of that!”

Then he said, “I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas.”

And the people said, “Where’s my rebate check?”

Then “The One” said, “I shall bankrupt the coal industry, and perhaps even the oil industry (Cap & Trade/Carbon Tax) and though electricity rates will skyrocket, we shall soon build wind farms and solar power stations and drive green cars that I shall mandate in Detroit!”

And the people said, “Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don’t care for that part about higher electric rates.”

So “The One” said, “Not to worry. If your rebate ($10/week) isn’t enough to cover your extra expenses ($3,000/year), we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!” “Only the fat cats will have to pay.”

Then He said, “Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let’s grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing…”

And the people said, “Hallelujah!!” And they made him King!

And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers; though they sold much less of their products. Others simply gave up and went out of business, and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support.

So “The One” again blamed the prior administration, extended unemployment benefits to a year, bailed out his favorite banks, and then took over the banks and auto industries. “The One” said, “I am the “The One” - The Messiah - and I’m here to save you! We shall just print more money so the government will have enough!” “Surely one trillion dollars will make everyone happy.” And immediately the Fed complied and the money presses roared.

And China reconsidered their one trillion dollars of loans to the US ,, and threatened to call in their debts. Other foreign trading partners said unto “The One”, “Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more.. for everything.. as your dollar becomes worth less.”

And the people said, “Wait a minute.. That is unfair!!”

And the world said, “Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. What factories are not owned by your government are owned by us. Now you shall play by our rules!”

And “The One” said “Americans are arrogant, divisive, and derisive!” “We will listen.”

And the people cried out, “Alas, alas!! What have we done?”

But yea verily, it was too late. The people eventually set upon “The One” and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. But the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change that “The One” had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them from within, and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.

And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, “Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!”

But it was too late, and the once-glorious “Home of the Brave and Land of the Free” was no more..

You may think this is a fairy tale, but it’s not. It’s happening RIGHT NOW, Already—- everything down to the last couple of lines….

Thus Spoke our Founding Fathers

There are some things I want you to know
These things I write are not just for show
This land we live on, full of beauty and space
Is a God given land of liberty for every race.

That all may earn, by hard work, personal responsibility and sweat
A place to call their own, where only God holds their debt.
A land where free commerce, family, worship, and charity
go unhindered nor dictated by those we place under authority.

A place where people gave their very lives with the determination to be free
A place where government was told "Don't Tread On Me!"
A place where the Governor, law maker, and average citizen
had to obey the laws given regardless of status or position.

A land where the people, the government must fear,
A land I truly still hold very dear.
A glorious republic, for all to live free.
Oh beautiful country!  What has happened to thee?

Where tyranny was once hated and feared for its guile,
Is now embraced for free handouts and a handsome smile.
Now a place where the "elite" tell you how to live,
And where the hard working and responsible to the slothful must give.

Our founding fathers were wise men who knew the histories of great nations, yea them all!
Who knew the successes and failures that caused their greatness and fall.

Monarchies, while a potential to be strong,
Had a great weakness if a tyrant came along.

Communism and Socialism, while seemingly good in their intent,
Misery, laziness, stagnation, and a government the people were left to resent.

Democracy!  Surely the people knew better!
Surely no, the individual is lost to the desire of the crowd.
No, democracy on its own, unrestrained, must not be allowed.

The individual with law and the government to fear
the very people who put them there.

Yes!  A Republic, the law, was the solution!
Checks and balances were placed to avoid pollution!

Yet here we stand, our government corrupt and bloated
Full of a clueless aristocracy and a budget overloaded.
Where a teleprompter rules and a press helps to cover up
The loss of liberty while you cheer it on and eat it up.

Keep you distracted is all they have to do,
Before you notice you have lost everything important to you.
Awake ye citizens!  Awake from your deep sleep!
How much of your future will you allow them to keep?

The deed is being done, there's no other to blame.
Our founding fathers would bow their heads in sorrowful shame.
Look at what you've done!  You've let it go!
The greatest and most successful nation the world would ever know.

Look at the world before this nation was here.
The poverty, the stagnation, the filthiness and bad health.
This nation pulled the whole world out of darkness and fear.
It brought innovation, technology, medicine and personal wealth.

Why would you ruin it, why tear it apart?
To history, this nation has been its very best part!
Peace we bring where there once was tyranny and oppression,
From 1812 and other wars, with tyrants, in like succession.

This nation saved the world as a whole,
And yet it is being flushed down the toilet bowl.
The Constitution is there a document from the divine,
Don't let it wither like rotten fruit on a vine.

That document is the key to success,
Be it business, commerce, liberty and happiness.
When man is left to himself without hindrance, regulation and government theft,
He can accomplish so much more than the collective liberal left.

Solve the problems of the world can he,
If only you give him his personal liberty.

Andrew McCarthy, a man with genuine BALLS.  A well respected former Federal Prosecutor by both parties, who served under two Presidential administrations (Clinton & Bush), received the Attorney General's Special Service award (by Janet Reno), author of "Willfull Blindness" (a book about his prosecution of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman the leader of the first World Trade Center attack), poignantly turns down an in invitation by Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama administration to participate on the "roundtable" Presidential Task Force on Detention Policy for enemy combatants.

Mr. McCarthy says it plainly, cites law, and gives logical and intelligent reasons for his refusal.

Now if only we had Congressmen this willing to stand up for their country.  If anyone questions the Tea Party movement, we'd honestly say that this man should be leading it.  His sentiments and reasoning are exactly why there is a Tea Party movement.  We are sick and tired of a government running afoul of the highest law of the land, the U.S. Constitution.  It is the very document that gives them their authority, and yet they disregard it, thinking their newer laws trump it.  No, they are governed by it.  The pigs have broken into the garden and are gorging themselves.  They need to be put back in the pens where the Federal government belongs.

The Federal government answers to the US Constitution and the States.  It is clearly written down and is clearly the LAW.  A law the Congress and Administration clearly ignore.  That is incompetence and blatantly tyrannical.

The US Constitution is this country's Highest Law, not the Congress, not the President, and most certainly not any foreign law.  It is what made this country great.  It is not a "living" or "breathing" document.  It's just as valuable now as when it was conceived, and conceived by much more intelligent men than are in our society now.  It is what brought the world out of the dark ages.  It is what made our modern world possible.  It was the liberty that document guarantees.

Andrew McCarthy knows this better than many people, as the law is his specialty, and representing the people was his duty.  Duty to the people, a concept the current Federal government has no grasp or concept of.

Here is Mr. McCarthy's reply to that invitation:

Andrew McCarthy's Letter to Attorney General Holder

May 1, 2009

By email (to the Counterterrorism Division) and by regular mail:
 
The Honorable Eric H. Holder, Jr.
Attorney General of the United States
United States Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C.  20530-0001
 
Dear Attorney General Holder:
 
This letter is respectfully submitted to inform you that I must decline the invitation to participate in the May 4 roundtable meeting the President’s Task Force on Detention Policy is convening with current and former prosecutors involved in international terrorism cases.  An invitation was extended to me by trial lawyers from the Counterterrorism Section, who are members of the Task Force, which you are leading.
 
The invitation email (of April 14) indicates that the meeting is part of an ongoing effort to identify lawful policies on the detention and disposition of alien enemy combatants -- or what the Department now calls “individuals captured or apprehended in connection with armed conflicts and counterterrorism operations.”  I admire the lawyers of the Counterterrorism Division, and I do not question their good faith.  Nevertheless, it is quite clear -- most recently, from your provocative remarks on Wednesday in Germany -- that the Obama administration has already settled on a policy of releasing trained jihadists (including releasing some of them into the United States).  Whatever the good intentions of the organizers, the meeting will obviously be used by the administration to claim that its policy was arrived at in consultation with current and former government officials experienced in terrorism cases and national security issues.  I deeply disagree with this policy, which I believe is a violation of federal law and a betrayal of the president’s first obligation to protect the American people.  Under the circumstances, I think the better course is to register my dissent, rather than be used as a prop.

Moreover, in light of public statements by both you and the President, it is dismayingly clear that, under your leadership, the Justice Department takes the position that a lawyer who in good faith offers legal advice to government policy makers—like the government lawyers who offered good faith advice on interrogation policy—may be subject to investigation and prosecution for the content of that advice, in addition to empty but professionally damaging accusations of ethical misconduct.  Given that stance, any prudent lawyer would have to hesitate before offering advice to the government.

Beyond that, as elucidated in my writing (including my proposal for a new national security court, which I understand the Task Force has perused), I believe alien enemy combatants should be detained at Guantanamo Bay (or a facility like it) until the conclusion of hostilities.  This national defense measure is deeply rooted in the venerable laws of war and was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court in the 2004 Hamdi case.  Yet, as recently as Wednesday, you asserted that, in your considered judgment, such notions violate America’s “commitment to the rule of law.”  Indeed, you elaborated, “Nothing symbolizes our [administration’s] new course more than our decision to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay….  President Obama believes, and I strongly agree, that Guantanamo has come to represent a time and an approach that we want to put behind us: a disregard for our centuries-long respect for the rule of law[.]”  (Emphasis added.)

Given your policy of conducting ruinous criminal and ethics investigations of lawyers over the advice they offer the government, and your specific position that the wartime detention I would endorse is tantamount to a violation of law, it makes little sense for me to attend the Task Force meeting.  After all, my choice would be to remain silent or risk jeopardizing myself.

For what it may be worth, I will say this much.  For eight years, we have had a robust debate in the United States about how to handle alien terrorists captured during a defensive war authorized by Congress after nearly 3000 of our fellow Americans were annihilated.  Essentially, there have been two camps.  One calls for prosecution in the civilian criminal justice system, the strategy used throughout the 1990s.  The other calls for a military justice approach of combatant detention and war-crimes prosecutions by military commission.  Because each theory has its downsides, many commentators, myself included, have proposed a third way: a hybrid system, designed for the realities of modern international terrorism—a new system that would address the needs to protect our classified defense secrets and to assure Americans, as well as our allies, that we are detaining the right people.

There are differences in these various proposals.  But their proponents, and adherents to both the military and civilian justice approaches, have all agreed on at least one thing:  Foreign terrorists trained to execute mass-murder attacks cannot simply be released while the war ensues and Americans are still being targeted.  We have already released too many jihadists who, as night follows day, have resumed plotting to kill Americans.  Indeed, according to recent reports, a released Guantanamo detainee is now leading Taliban combat operations in Afghanistan, where President Obama has just sent additional American forces.

The Obama campaign smeared Guantanamo Bay as a human rights blight.  Consistent with that hyperbolic rhetoric, the President began his administration by promising to close the detention camp within a year.  The President did this even though he and you (a) agree Gitmo is a top-flight prison facility, (b) acknowledge that our nation is still at war, and (c) concede that many Gitmo detainees are extremely dangerous terrorists who cannot be tried under civilian court rules. Patently, the commitment to close Guantanamo Bay within a year was made without a plan for what to do with these detainees who cannot be tried.  Consequently, the Detention Policy Task Force is not an effort to arrive at the best policy.  It is an effort to justify a bad policy that has already been adopted: to wit, the Obama administration policy to release trained terrorists outright if that’s what it takes to close Gitmo by January.

Obviously, I am powerless to stop the administration from releasing top al Qaeda operatives who planned mass-murder attacks against American cities—like Binyam Mohammed (the accomplice of “Dirty Bomber” Jose Padilla) whom the administration recently transferred to Britain, where he is now at liberty and living on public assistance.  I am similarly powerless to stop the administration from admitting into the United States such alien jihadists as the 17 remaining Uighur detainees.  According to National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair, the Uighurs will apparently live freely, on American taxpayer assistance, despite the facts that they are affiliated with a terrorist organization and have received terrorist paramilitary training.  Under federal immigration law (the 2005 REAL ID Act), those facts render them excludable from theUnited States. The Uighurs’ impending release is thus a remarkable development given the Obama administration’s propensity to deride its predecessor’s purported insensitivity to the rule of law.

I am, in addition, powerless to stop the President, as he takes these reckless steps, from touting his Detention Policy Task Force as a demonstration of his national security seriousness.  But I can decline to participate in the charade.

Finally, let me repeat that I respect and admire the dedication of Justice Department lawyers, whom I have tirelessly defended since I retired in 2003 as a chief assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York.  It was a unique honor to serve for nearly twenty years as a federal prosecutor, under administrations of both parties.  It was as proud a day as I have ever had when the trial team I led was awarded the Attorney General’s Exceptional Service Award in 1996, after we secured the convictions of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and his underlings for waging a terrorist war against the United States.  I particularly appreciated receiving the award from Attorney General Reno—as I recounted in Willful Blindness, my book about the case, without her steadfastness against opposition from short-sighted government officials who wanted to release him, the “blind sheikh” would never have been indicted, much less convicted and so deservedly sentenced to life-imprisonment.  In any event, I’ve always believed defending our nation is a duty of citizenship, not ideology.  Thus, my conservative political views aside, I’ve made myself available to liberal and conservative groups, to Democrats and Republicans, who’ve thought tapping my experience would be beneficial.  It pains me to decline your invitation, but the attendant circumstances leave no other option.

                                                                                    Very truly yours,

                                                                                    /S/      

                                                                                    Andrew C. McCarthy

Way to go Andy!  You are a true American, not a Republican, not a Democrat, just a loyal American with honor and integrity.

Congratulations on your coup.  You have successfully convinced a bunch of idiots about how you are going to rescue them in their irresponsibility and stupidity, give them money they did not earn from those that worked hard for their money, and made promises you immediately broke in your first week of office.  It's amazing how charisma, charm, and articulate speech, which makes some liberal newscasters get tingling in their legs, got you, a Chicago sleaze-bag politician nobody, into the most powerful position in the world.

We all know you don't care that your cabinet selections all should be in jail for tax evasion, because of your example, they know they are better than the rest of us.  They have succeeded even where Al Capone failed.  Good work!

Now that you got the rest of your comrades with enough power to do whatever you tell them to do, you can now begin to form this country into something you, and your teachers (Bill Ayers, Saul Alinski, Reverend Wright, etc) taught you to do.  You've been following Saul's formula to the letter, and so far it has been successful.  Your plans of ruining the capitalist economy to force a global currency is well on its way.  The technique's that Saul taught you to convince people to allow you to turn over private ownership to the government looks to be succeeding as well.  We all know that in order for this to succeed, you have to get it done before everyone realizes what you are really doing; and that's socializing America.  After all, you know better than some primitive idiots back in the 1700's about how people should live and be allowed to live.  Everyone know that intellectuals that sit in Univerisities all their lives know more about the world than those that actually have to work in the system.

Now of course there's the constant preaching of comrades to force the rich to pay more taxes and allow that money to be given to those that didn't earn that money.  It was a good idea to make them look like the bad guys, even though it's the rich that give jobs to others.  It's almost funny how they preach about this and yet don't pay taxes themselves.  Al Capone would be impressed!

You have succeeded in having been the first President to have more sleaze-bags and crooks in his administration than any previous, including the Clinton and Nixon administrations combined!  Well done!

However, what impresses me the most, is how you are paying off those that funded your campaign and carreer, by calling it a "Stimulus Package".  How masterful!  You have been able to put together a veritable Christmas bags worth of useless liberal gifts to organizations and other things that have absolutely nothing to do with stimulating the economy.  You have successfully put together a full pork package, without anything useful to hide that pork other than a name!  You have, with sweet talking, and emotion, been able to tell the citizens of the United States of America to go to Hell, and yet are making them look forward to the trip!  Genius!!

If the country is still around after your first term, I'm anxious to see what other methods you'll use to sieze power from the people.  Heck, Joseph Stalin did it, and the people cheered for him.  Adolf Hitler did it, and the people would cry at his speeches even get tingling up their legs when he spoke.  If you can keep this up, then surely you can sieze even more power and property to finally make this a socialized Utopia, and since the UN and world population depends so much on America, they'll fall right in, and then you'll finally be able to prove that socialism works, even after it has always failed previously.  The key here being there will not be a competing system to destroy it.  How clever!

I am also impressed at how you have, with your comrades, distracted the populace from religion by supplanting it with a false religion.  The religion of Global Warming and environmentalism.  A very clever way to gain control of private enterprise while distracting the populace with fear and lies.  I mean seriously, you've got them convinced that small cars and wind power will solve all problems.  I was impressed with your statements claiming people had to get rid of their gas guzzlers, turn the heating down to 68 degrees, use florescent bulbs, and use tire gages to combat the climate demons.  I love how you put yourself above everyone else by driving a brand new GM limo with super heavy metal plating and the largest gasoline engine GM makes that barely will get 6 miles to the gallon, then you crank up the heat in the oval office to 85 degrees because you're from Hawaii and as we all know, all Illinois politicians from Hawaii deserve special treatment and don't have to live the standards they preach.  I mean, you're the President and they are just the people clinging to their religion and guns.  They couldn't possibly think for themselves.  They need someone to tell them how to live and what to do.  It was Vladimire Lenin that said, "A lie told often enough becomes the truth", and you have the news media in your pockets.  Well played!

I love how your minions are blind to the obvious truth and have chosen to unconditionally follow you to the ends of the Earth.  They have a knack for excusing criminal behavior in their fellow comrades and call it forgivable mistakes, yet when one opposes them on the radio, for example, they will try every means they can to shut them up and censor them.  We both know the truth must never be exposed.  After, one of your contemporaries of the past, Adolf Hitler, said, "The great masses of the people... will more easily fall victims to a great lie than to a small one. ... What luck for rulers that men do not think!"  Your friends in Hollywood have been quite successful at distracting the populace from thinking.

I may want to point out something though.  Americans have a reputation for not accepting authority forced upon them for a long period of time.  You see, unlike Europe, whos population, until recently, was used to a dictator or socialist oligarchy running their country for centuries.  They lost the will to fight it.  Americans, on the other hand, are famous for not putting up with such crap, at least not for long.  I predict to you, Mr. President, that if a peaceful and civil means is lost to the American people to fix this mess (that's being able to vote the change), that the revolutionary war of 1776 will be nothing compared to a second revolution to restore the Constitutional government as it was originally.  This, by no means is a personal threat, but is a result of historical observation and my opinion.  History tends to repeat itself.  The USA as it is today, has turned into the country those earlier revolutionists originally fought against.  It stands to reason that unless major changes are made to restore the country as it was originally, that a revolution will happen again.

John F. Kennedy, a predecessor of yours, did say that when a government removes the means for the people to change it peacefully, then an unpeaceful method is all that is left to emerge.  Let's hope your actions don't cause this to happen.

Sincerely,

SuperSparky

Today, I was going to write this big and long winded blog about how the USA is falling into the cesspool of political correctness and so-called "progressiveness".  I was half way into it, and doing some research (blog posters DO research don't they?) I came across this magnificently made video that I am completely sure is in the accurate spirit of the man Thomas Paine himself.  Watch it, and share it with everyone you know.  I could not have said it better myself, and decided to ditch my work in favor of a simple embedded link to the video, which says it so much more eloquently than I could ever have said:
