Tea Party...Militia?!?!

Part of the balance of power concept. The mere fact that the citizens have the right to bare arms to protect themselves should slow politians from getting to power crazy. Has it worked?

no it hasn't worked because we haven't enforced our rights

I think the fact that your people can bear arms is a good thing. If the people feel the government is out of control they can do something about it. You are seeing the same sort of thing in Thailand, though they dont have guns. Sometimes people just have had enough.

McVeigh would be so so proud

Some people want to live in a nanny state where the government runs every aspect of their lives, some don't. These folks don't and I tend to learn more towards their side.

Seems like a slippery slope, and given Oklahoma's history with Militia's, well, it just doesn't seem like the smartest thing

Recent political setbacks? What might that be referring to?

Are you saying that the time has come to enforce rights through some sort of civil disobedience or the organization of militias (besides OK)? Careful, your answer could earn you a spot on the "no fly" list.

Another right Americans enjoy is the vote. The vote might just be stronger that bullets and militias. Another right is speech. Many politicians don't seem to be listening to the majority and may find themselves out of a job.

Yes the right to protest and vote
Right now those three black politicians are under fire for saying they heard racial slurs crossing the street from the tea party members, with all the cameras rolling, no one caught it, they said they were spat on, again, all the cameras going, they can't prove it.
It's got to the point that their is an organazation dedicated to infiltrating the tea party and then throwing out slurs and spitting to disgrace the organization. People that are in the Tea Party are being peaceful and protesting the way government it spending money and thats their legal right.
It pisses me off when they are put down for using their constitutional rights to protest by liberals that just don't want to hear from anyone that has a different opinion, it's sad that the left is not listening to the people , but instead hoping to get it thru the court systems, just like in california
In california, we voted to end the support of the government to illegal aliens, but a judge said it was illegal to do that, he basically said fuck what the people say, im a leftist prick and I make the law. Now the gay marriage thing is back up and they lost trying to not listen to the will of the people and getting their way with the courts. It was in the paper today, they lost.
I can only hope that someday soon, some of these politicians get their wake up call from the voters and end up with out a job, too bad they still get paid after they leave office, thats something that should stop.

Good post!!

Yeah, their latest ploy is to pretend that liberals are infiltrating them and are the ones making all the "mob" type shouts and posters and such.

Pretty desperate. Just relax and have some tea and a biscuit.

Maybe you remember "free speech zones" that the riot police would set up for liberal protesters during the Bush years. Maybe we need tea party zones. What do you think.

The social engineers will just herd these people so that they end up shooting other groups of Americans. Divide and Conquer The next American revolution will be a complete fucking joke. I bet 90% of these guys will surrender just by the government offering Big Macs and fries in exchange for their guns.

The Tea Party is just another diversion or shock absorber like Ron Paul.

My opinion is that everyone is going to get what they deserve. If you become fat, lazy, dumb, and spend more money than you make then you deserve what ever the elites have planed for you.

Yeah I remember the protests, it was about the wars, Obama has been in office for how long and how is the war going for you?

You know it's funny when Bush was in office we got a daily update of the death toll from the liberal media, now that Obama is sending troops, no more death tolls, did they stop dieing? Or is that not important to you?

And say the people did that what would happen? They would be shot and killed and imprision if they survived. Any "militia" that thinks it can overthrow the government is stupid. Threatening a politician with death for not voting the way you want him to is not the way to handle things. There is a way to handle it. Its called an ELECTION.
