Tax Day Interactive Open Thread
By SusanUnPC on April 15, 2009 at 9:15 AM in No Quarter Blog, Tax Day
Please USE THIS THREAD to report on events in your area, and to provide us with images and videos. Fox has streaming video all day of the protests at FoxNation.com. If your video can be embedded, e-mail it to me at susanunpc at gmail dot com, and I’ll add it below the fold. Despite that well-timed DHS report, designed to intimidate today’s protestors, I am confident no one will stay home out of fear. Check out some of the Draconian thinking in Janet’s big scary report. Janet, Janet, Janet! What an imagination you have! Aside from a tiny group of white supremacists, the law-abiding, respectful right is less dangerous than just about any group in this nation.
… Most notable is the report’s focus on the impact of returning war veterans.
“Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists,” it says. “DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities.”
The report cites the April 4 shooting deaths of three police officers in Pittsburgh as an example of what may be coming, claiming the alleged gunman holds a racist ideology and believes in anti-government conspiracy theories about gun confiscations, citizen detention camps and “a Jewish-controlled ‘one-world government.’”
It also suggests the election of an African-American president and the prospect of his policy changes “are proving to be a driving force for right-wing extremist recruitment and radicalization.”
The report also mentions “‘end times’ prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as the violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement.”
“DHS/I&A assesses that right-wing extremist groups’ frustration over a perceived lack of government action on illegal immigration has the potential to incite individuals or small groups toward violence,” the report continues.
The report states the DHS will be working with state and local partners over the next several months to determine the levels of right-wing extremist activity in the U.S.
Last month, the chief of the Missouri highway patrol blasted a report issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center that linked conservative groups to domestic terrorism, assuring that such reports no longer will be issued. The report had been compiled with the assistance of DHS.
The report warned law enforcement agencies to watch for suspicious individuals who may have bumper stickers for third-party political candidates such as Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin.
It further warned law enforcement to watch out for individuals with “radical” ideologies based on Christian views, such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion and federal taxes. (Read all.)

Obama, Geithner, Summers, Bernanke have basically told AIG they don’t need to worry about being regulated on their CDS:

I guess I’m a right wing extremist. I am stockpiling food for my family. I wasn’t doing it for the end times (I hope it’s not the ends times becasue I am not ready for that). silly me. I am stockpiling because I believe the economy is going to get much, much worse and that food and everything will be horribly expensive, due to hyperinflation. Yep. I’m a radical. Plus, I figure if I’m wrong and it’s too much food for us to use up in time, I can donate it to the food shelves. A win, win situation and I don’t see how it hurts Obama if I want to be able to feed my family since I’m a single Mom, but that’s just me. I’m kind of silly that way.
Texas is now a “terrorist state” because gov Perry wants to hold on to state’s rights. And I suppose I am doubely (spell) a domestic terrorist because I live in texas and grow a garden every year for my own consumption instead of growing it for the “state”. Yeah, I suppose anyone who thinks for themself instead of depending on the herd mentality like the obotites do are sort of silly in the eyes of any dictater.
Governor Perry rocks. And it’s my understanding that Texas can leave the union any time it wants anyway, since that was part of their deal when they joined. Texas is only one of a bunch of states (more than 20 I think) that are asserting their state’s rights under the 10th Amendment. I can’t wait until every state in this country files sovereignty and tells the Fraud to screw himself. I guess our forefathers really knew WTF they were doing when they drafted the Constitution. What would we do if they didn’t provide for someone as dangerous as the Fraud?
Dude, let me tell you — speaking as a proud citizen of crazy leftist evil socialist radical California, nothing would make me happier than to see all the dumbass, broke, welfare-dependent red states like Texas and most of the South secede from the Union. We Blue Staters (who pay waaay more in taxes every year than we receive in government services) give something like $10 billion a year to you Red Staters, who take in waaaay more in government services every year than you pay in taxes. Basically, you ignorant Republicans survive on our welfare payments while pretending that you’re the proud independent ones. It’s pathetic and disgraceful, and it has been going on for years. If the Red States were to secede from America, you would instantly become an impoverished Third World nation, while California, Oregon, Washington, the entire Northeast and much of the Midwest would instantly become far wealthier.
Wait a minute…am I missing something here?
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but….wasn’t it the “crazy leftist evil socialist radicals” who SPAWNED all the hog-trough, blood-sucking, demoralizing, free-handout welfare programs you’re now bemoaning?
HMMMMMMM????
LMAO! Methinks you should not include Texas in your rant.
Um…Texas has a budget surplus, while your state is so far bankrupt it’s not funny – but WE are depending on you guys? That’s funny!
We also produce more wind power and alternative energy than any other state.
You are at best laughable. The last time I checked, if Texas were to become an independent nation, it would be 9th wealthiest country in the world. And California would be sucking up big time. In fact (and it pleases me so much to rub your nose in this), when the California vineyards were decimated in the 1930’s, they had to get new grapevines FROM TEXAS to replenish their stocks. But don’t take my word for it. Do some actual research. You’ll be amazed at what you can learn.
DON’T MESS WITH TEXAS..yeah!!!!!!
You know the garden is something we are doing also. I tilled up about half my backyard. Something along those lines caught my attention while looking for some fun seeds for the kids. Evidently there has been some technology for years now of a “terminator” gene in hybrid seeds. That gene prevents the seed from germination. The idea is to protect the patented seed, so that you always have to buy it from the seed maker to replant. The technology is out there, and it’s use has been protested. I admit, I had no idea somebody was even dreaming things like this into existence at all. To me, what if they do this for wheat… and these terminator seeds cross pollinate with native wheat and the resultant seed is then sterile? This I know is off the topic, but because it is an open thread… I need to look more into this before I can say a lot on it. It just looks to me on the surface like something that ought not be done. But, collecting some natural variety garden seeds may not be a bad idea.
I too stocked food for a few years. I never thought I would see the day in my country that I would have to fear what I am fearing. It’s unbelievable. Now I have a house full of food and water for when the Fraud gets us blown to hell, or we have to wait in bread lines.
You can take the girl off the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of the girl. An empty pantry and storage shelves means you haven’t prepared for the long winter. Even though we lived in 1950’s suburbia on a cul-de-sac- my mom still stockpiled the house with food and supplies every Fall like her mother before her. What we didn’t grow and can ourselves, she would have delivered- pounds of potatoes and other root veggies to store in the cellar. Crates of apples. In now, come harvest time, I feel those instincts kick-in myself. Load-up the pantry. Load-up the wood pile.
it.s nice to know that there are still some.wise virgins out there..
Little boy’s letter Funny! Enjoy
A little boy wanted $100.00 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened.
Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100.00.
When the postal authorities received the letter to God, USA they decided to send it to the President.
The president was so amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $ 5.00 bill.
The president thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:
Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you sent it through Washington D.C. and those jerks took $95.00 in taxes.
LOL! Marvelous!
Hey, we’re all “racists” but Jamie Foxx and friends can call Miley Ray Cyrus a WHITE BITCH???? LMAO…This is gross and shameful…
In a move that he had to have known would get him attention, comedian/actor/aspiring musician Jamie Foxx attacked Disney songstress Miley Cyrus on his Sirius radio show “The Foxxhole,” taking pot-shots at the teenager’s appearance and suggesting she should “make a sex tape and grow up.”
A listener had called into complain about Miley’s publicly-voiced frustration that British band Radiohead had dissed her backstage at the Grammy Awards. When Jamie Foxx asked who he meant, one of his co-hosts on the show, a woman, muttered “that little white b—h,” to which Foxx responds, “The one with all the gums? She gotta get a gum transplant!”
He then goes on to advise Miley,
Make a sex tape and grow up. Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin. Do like Lindsay Lohan and start seeing a lesbian and get some crack in your pipe. Catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat. That’s what I want.
The woman in the background can also be heard saying that Cyrus should make a sex tape with her dad.
The whole thing was lame and, frankly, disgusting, but you can catch the audio here. Sure, Miley sounded entitled and pathetic when she complained about Radiohead, but she’s a teenager—and it’s not fair for any of us to judge her without knowing how hard it is to stay grounded as part of a billion-dollar enterprise.
Miley shouldn’t take it too personally. When a 41-year-old man attacks your appearance when he’s supposed to be commenting on your behavior, it reeks of desperation on his behalf. Perhaps he’s just bitter because there’s no chance whatsoever The Soloist, his upcoming film, will make half what Miley’s Hannah Montana movie will.
yeah the millionaires and billionaires are so happy that blue collar folk are out there marching to protect their money.
the fat cats are happy they say
“thanks for paying our share”
“taxes are not for everyone”
do you think these folks have a clue that under Obama’s plan your taxes will not go up unless you make over 250,ooo.
Everyone’s taxes will have to go up. The Government cannot keep doling out huge amounts of cash forever and not replenish it. Maybe you should take a basic math class!
Kathleen, you must have your head in the sand. Everyone will be paying more taxes under Obamunism
whether it is new taxes on energy – which will affect
everyone across the board or any number of other taxes he is planning on implementing. It is the
naive attitude of people like you that allowed this
fraud to be elected.I hope you wake up soon!!
“Obamunism”
Great name, and it fits. I have read and heard many arguments whether Obama is a communist, socialist, or facsist. The term “Obamunism” says it all.
Taxes are a trickle down effect anyway… for those that end up paying more they will pass it along to the rest in other forms.
Kathleen, you are in for a big and ugly surprise:
http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2009/03/07/pinkerton_government_obama/
apparently some people don’t have a clue that taxes are not just in the form of income tax-can you say cap and trade, property tax etc.??….
I agree w the other poster, you can’t spend your way into oblivion giving money away to people who don’t work and have any money left in the coffers. Someone has to pay for it and it is always the middle class-and that is people much further down in the income of $250k.
Well, and isn’t it true that they are giving us more in our withholding from our paychecks for now, but we’ll just owe that money next April? I believe that is how it works. They cut payroll tax to give us more, but they didn’t cut income tax. You have to watch the play on words with politicians. ALWAYS! Kind of like my Governor (Pawlenty-MN). He promised no new taxes and he has kept his word on that. Instead, he calls them fees. hahaha.
A little more on the Fraud’s Cap and Trade BS and what it will cost us…note the part about your electric bill going up 50-100%….
http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/green_hell_milloy/2009/04/14/202927.html?s=al&promo_code=7E05-1
It is not about taxes, but about having a voice. It is about having a “statutory” representation but no effective representation. I would dispute that 250K part. The “carbon tax” will be the most regressive and painful tax of them all. It will bleed the working class of disposable income.
Exactly Docelder. The thing that pisses me off the most is that no one got to read that crapstain on America “Pork Bill.” I’m NOT paying for that pork. No goddamned way in HELL do I do it. My reps couldn’t have read it, but voted for it under pressure. Pelosi the Pig was running around like Chicken Frigging Little claiming the sky would fall if everyone didn’t vote yes for that crap. That’s EXTORTION. She needs to go to jail for the traitor that she is. We do NOT get taxed without representation in this country and this spending is out of control. As taxpayers, we don’t want it. Kathleen, join America.
Kathleen…get a clue. I live in California where ALL taxes are going up. Our sales tax just went up, our food tax is going up, cigarette tax, property tax, you name it. Guess who’s paying for it? The middle class. Also, how about all of those people who Obama promised the free ride to? They can’t even buy their cigarettes anymore LOL. At $6/pack. Those on food stamps have to deal with the rising food prices, etc. So the lower and middle classes are getting hit other ways and other places. The Cap and Trade nonsense? Woooooo is that bad.
What happened to that woman who said she wouldn’t have to pay her rent/mortgage under Obama?
I guess if you live under a bridge in carboard box you don’t pay rent, but you probably get rousted every once in a while.
Obama = Pol Pot.
Yep – here in Ca, too. We’re being taxed to death by our Democratic Obama-loving majority in the state senate. But we should LOOOOOVE paying taxes. It’s unpatriotic not to,isn’t it? At least that’s what our vice president said. Has his tax returns been audited lately? Oh, yeah – he gave that whopping huge percentage to charity didn’t he? What was it – 1%?
I bet people move out of CA and NY because they can’t take the taxes. I don’t know how a middle class family, with say four kids, could make it now. It’s ridiculous. Plus, never mind the deductions you can no longer take. It’s a mess.
Californians are moving to Texas in droves.
And, get a clue! The protests are not just about taxes. In fact, it’s more about government debt that will be passed on to the next few generations. It’s about no accountability and about a total lack of restraint. It’s about trying to get the government do what we all have to do: balance a checkbook.
Kathleen — the state of Delaware wants to raise taxes on anyone earning $60,000 or more. The state of New York will be charging $3.40 tax on each pack of cigarettes. You WILL feel it eventually.
What an insult to veterans!
To insinuate that they are any more likely to be unhinged than any other person who is skilled with firearms leaves me questioning the mental capacity of the person who authored this report!
The real enemies to this country are in the political arena, and they are getting heavy-handed with their one-party tyranny!
agreed! Well said.
I agree Sassy. Here we go again with the theme of the ‘crazy out of control veteran’. It happened after Vietnam. Now it’s happening again.
But if you send any person on 4, 5, or 6 combat tours what do you expect? Even during Nam the amount of tours was limited. That still doesn’t mean every veteran will become violent.
I think this is an excuse for more government control and gun confiscation.
Under Bush so-called liberals/progressives screamed about this type of behavior. Under Obama? It’s all good.
Some historians note that the Boston Tea Party may have been more of a protest against a trade and import monopoly than it was about taxes and that the “party” was organized by importers who did not want to buy tea only from England. If the Lwingers pull that one up then I say good. We are in a struggle to prevent the Chicago Political Mob from creating a nation-wide monopoly on ideas and acceptable dissent.
I can’t break away from my office today to join the rallies by foot. But my fingers will never stop walking for the truth. All of us just need to keep our big fat mouths open. Talk, write and listen to your gut.
Thanks for this thread!
I’ll be watching it from my “parlor.”
http://syd4.blogspot.com/2009/04/table-is-set.html
me too.. since i am home bound.
watching and cheering them on.
our sisters and brothers .
White House aka Obama is distancing himself from the Homeland Security report to zero in on “right wing extremists” aka people who carry a gun, were in the military and stocking up on food, are against abortion etc. Obama used the word “terrorists” and I thought we weren’t using that word anymore??
They can all stick it…I am going to our local Tea Party on Saturday and will be shouting my ass off for preservation of this country. This is not about one party…I didn’t like what Bush did either. It has to be put to a screeching halt. The government is getting more and more extreme.
“It also suggests the election of an African-American president and the prospect of his policy changes “are proving to be a driving force for right-wing extremist recruitment and radicalization.”
This is not too surprising. The Obamatrons played the race card consistently throughout the campaign…even going as low as to claim Hillary and Bill Clinton were racists.
That sure is what they want us to believe, isn’t it? Today’s TEA parties will be full of racists. Yeah right. Whatever.
I suggest that the election of an idiot and the reality of his policy changes are a driving force.
Results:
More domestic violence
More drug and alcohol abuse
More hungry and terrorized children
More inflation
More suffering
Just more, more and then more.
Oh hell no, this will be the gigantic welfare nation under Obumble. Everyone is gonna be on welfare, who needs to work anymore? Aren’t we supposed to be entitled to have the government take care of us?! Our mortgages paid for and all that?
I went yesterday to protest in Santa Monica California–got a lot of encouragement from many passing cars–there are a lot of people who are fed up with out of control federal policy/spending and legislation. Interestingly, no MSM showed up to cover it– “Nightline” aired it’s last story at midnight last night under it’s “closing arguments” segment that is intended to have people go their website to see if people agree or disagree it showed a couple of pictures from all over the country and stated “is today’s display MISGUIDED or do you agree that taxes are too high and money is being wasted”
here’s the link go to “taxman” story:

Left Wing Extremism: The Current Threat (2001)
Another reason to protest the loony left’s invasion of our rights and privacy…
HR20-New Mother’s Mandated Mental Health Test-JUST PASSED HOUSE!
Posted April 14th, 2009
http://www.govtrack.us/co...
A sweeping government policy for all new births in the United States has just passed the House of Representatives and is now headed to the Senate. The Mother’s Act, if passed, will mandate that all new mothers be screened by means of a list of subjective questions that will determine if each mother is mentally fit to take their newborn home from the hospital. Just imagine that after your child is born, you are told that you can’t take them home since a multiple choice questionnaire wasn’t answered correctly. Just imagine being told that the only way you can take your child home is if you or your spouse goes into treatment or on anti-depressants which we know causes psychosis, delusions, and even homicidal thoughts. It just doesn’t make sense. Unfortunately, this bill is on a fast track–No public debate, no public disclosure of the broad impact on our society and that is why we need you to act now!
The Mother’s Act violates our Constitutional right to privacy and your right to liberty and it is just outright dangerous.
All meds have possible side effects, that does not mean that all mental health treatment in the form of counseling or anti depressants or other meds, effect every person that way. In fact much of this medicine prevents people from having the symptoms like delusions. I have two very good friends that have mental health issues and they would not be able to function without meds.
As for the mental health test, if they give that to people, half the mothers would not be allowed to take their kids home. I see alot of people that have no business having kids.
What is going to be done w the babies-foster care? stay at the hospital nursery? At any rate, it should be debated like all bills but Congress gave that up a few months ago.
Are they going to ask questions of the fathers too? How do they know the father isn’t going to slap a crying baby around? Why is he exempt?
Does this make any sense?
The bill, sadly, has good intent which is to provide care and meds for women with postpartum depression. The problem is that the loony left can never leave it at that. They have to go as far as intruding into people’s privacy and rights. That’s the sad thing about whatever these nutcase “progs” think they are doing. Maybe they have their hearts in the right place, but they don’t realize that in America we don’t sacrifice human rights and liberties for the nanny state.
I disagree w you on the meds. All meds have possible side effects but they affect a limited number of people. I have 2 very good friends that take meds and wouldn’t be able to function wo them.
As for the bill, I know a hell of alot of people that have no business having kids. But a questionnarie to determine mental health??
…but we need more white babies…the state is running out of white babies to adopt. If we – state social services – petition the court to declare mothers unfit then, the state can take custody of these fungible assets to fill state ‘coffers.’ I was involved in a custody case whereby the state admitted they placed a baby in the wrong home (in a foster home instead of with siblings) but then presented evidence to the court in the form of an “independent” report from a well-known psychologist at a major teaching hospital, saying the then 10-month-old child was now much to bonded to the wrong family to be moved. (The state withheld that, in addition to being a psychologist, their witness, also a lawyer, was the Sole Proprietor of a training company that had just been awarded a 6-year state training contract at the rate of $140/hour, to teach social service professionals the art of “Demystifying Trial Preparation and Testimony.”) The judge ruled that, based on that evidence, permanent custody of the child should go to the state. The sibling family has not seen their child ever since.
What’s next a credit check before you can take your baby home?
Depends on who wants your baby.
What I want to know is, who made sure the Obama’s were mentally fit before they were allowed to adopt Bo?
I was wondering how many focus groups it took to pick the breed and then to name the dog?
that’s not a bad idea either, I am getting tired of supporting someone elses kids.
Who is going to support ALL of the babies they take away from their mother, because they decided they didn’t like how she answerred her questions? I know lots of people who get nervous and screw up important tests, what test would be more important that IF you are allowed to keep YOUR child? I can see lots of people getting nervous and saying something wrong
scary..and wrong..
This kind of Draconian thinking is exactly what we get when WE THE PEOPLE as ordinary citizens, fail to grasp the underlying legal constructs which we have allowed our elected legislators to create in order to legally enslave us. I’ll play devil’s advocate for a moment and you’ll see what I’m talking about…
Ok, now you can’t REALLY blame the government for pursuing this line of thinking, can you? Clearly the government has both the authority and a MANDATE, yea even a vested INTEREST in “protecting” us from ourselves.
I mean…seriously, did we or did we not PETITION THE STATE IN WRITING for PERMISSION to enter into legal MARRIAGE by completing an application for a marriage LICENSE?
And did we or did we not then further petition the State to CERTIFY and REGISTER the birth of the very flesh and blood children that are the natural products of those marriages??
You may apply the exact same legal logic to ANYTHING for which you fill out a State “application”. Anytime you do that, you are petitioning the State to take jurisdiction, which it will most certainly and readily do at the drop of a hat. And by default, jurisdiction by the courts of the State is always PRESUMED unless challenged or you assert your rights ahead of time (i.e. don’t legally and automatically INVITE the State into your domain upfront)
So then…what do we expect?? Should this type of proposed legislation and overt, expansion of tyrannical government power REALLY surprise anyone, given that we ASKED for it??
It shouldn’t…because we’ve literally petitioned the STATE in WRITING and PAID A FEE (full legally binding contractual obligations!) for the privilege of inviting the jurisdiction of their courts directly into all matters pertaining to our marriages and families…so they are just doing their JOBS…the jobs WE demanded, paid for, and requested in writing for them to do.
May God help us throw off these unwittingly self-imposed chains of bondage…because we can’t fix this without His help.

A little something to get everyone warmed up for their Tea Parties…Why Your Taxes Could Double…
Oops, on my state income tax form, I checked off the donation to the Military Family Relief Fund. Does this mean, HOS “could” now accuse me of supporting terrorism?
Got this email from a friend this morning. Before you start bashing Republicans for no reason, understand this person used to be a Dem.
Last night I had the honor of having a nice conversation with Rep. John Boehner, the head of the Republicans in the U.S. House. He was Newt Gingrich’s deputy when they took over in 1994 and turned the absolute mess that the Clinton Presidency was giving us at the time into a success by forcing him to balance the budget four times in a row. (He likes red wine, while for me it was Maker’s Mark and Sam Adams beer, two great American drinks.)
Yeah, that’s right, in case you bought the evil media spin. It was the Republicans who did it in the 90s and B.J. Clinton who was busy doing other things in the Oval Office who used the evil media to take credit for the resultant great economy.
I was thrilled to hear that Rep. Boehner say that the Republican mood is very high in Washington now and he knows like I do that there will be a turnover tsunami in November 2010 because these creeps who got elected last November will have made such a total train wreck of things. I felt much better about the country after hearing this.
Got this from New Gingrich this morning:
By 2019, President Obama’s budget will have added over $9.4 trillion to the federal debt.
And like any form of debt, such as a home mortgage or car loan, this debt comes with a steep debt load. Just like paying off the interest on a credit card, every young American will be responsible for not only paying the principal on President Obama’s budget, but will also have to shoulder the interest payments.
How much will you have to pay? How much will your kids owe? American Solutions has put together an Obama Debt Calculator to determine how much President Obama’s deficits will cost you over your working life.

* If you’re a 50-year old-with a college degree, you will pay approximately $81,000 over your working life just to pay the interest on the debt in the Obama budget.
* If you’re a 40-year-old, you’ll pay $132,000.
* And if you’re a 20-year-old, just starting out after college, you will pay a whopping $114,000 just to service the interest on the debt created by the Obama budget.

It’s been a while since I read up on the insanity in Cambodia unr Pol Pot. Correct me if I’m wrong, but here is what I remember: Pol Pot and his followers believed that every should be the same. If a person harvested/gathered more food for herself in order to survive, that was bad because that one person (who merely wanted to stay alive) was “standing out.”
People were punished for trying to save themselves and their families from death by starvation. You have to read about this political extremism to see it in action, and to believe it.
We are heading down a dangerous road.

Brilliant!
Susan Boyle is an inspiration.
Thank you for that. It was inspiring!
I needed that!
I have watched this so many times in the past 4 days. It really restores confidence in …. life again. I think part of this response (for me anyway) is that…Obama was supposed to be this great President, this messiah. Of course we knew that he wasn’t – but we thought maybe we are wrong about this guy. He was judged by his “cover” (that has so many meanings that I don’t have the time to touch here). Well his content is lacking….. Watching Susan – she was being judged (and not favorably I might add) on her cover and she surprised us with her substance – her talent. Wow – oh – wow. I needed that. I will probably watch it a few more times because it just feels good.
Susan!
I am happy to report a lot of tea-bagging activity in my area!!
It was a festive event with a lot of gigglin’ and shouts of “-Yes, Yes!!”.
I’m looking forward to more tea-bagging!
thanks for letting us know!
Grow up – this is about the tea parties, not your group orgy last night.
Awwww….another frigging troll. Do they know that they are insulting gay people with that tea-bagging crap? Grow up you azzholes.
So what else is new?
Obama and his supporters shoved GLBT folks under the bus long ago.
Plus the simple-minded trolls can only hold on to one meme at a time. Tea-bagging, lol! Tea-bagging! Nudge, nudge. So funny.
Let’s not talk about inequable tax burdens and regressive taxation. Let’s reduce the entire issue to bathroom graffitti.
“Tea-bagging” requires less data entry than “you people are so racist. sad.” The trolls all have carpal tunnel syndrome now. Like it or not, the troll masters have to reduce the keystrokes in the prescribed posts to keep the trollies from calling in sick.
Yeah, but it really does show the low rent mentality of the trolls. “Tea Bagging?” With no conception of the fact that it’s their Constitutional rights that are being violated too, and that we’re out their defending their freedoms as well as our own. Poor Bots. I would hate to be them in six months.
Hey, dude, thank you for being out there defending my freedoms and my constitutional rights and stuff, and for saving me from being violated, you know, that’s totally cool! I’m sorry you didn’t have fun in the teabagging party, but to me this was the best tax day ever!!
For next year, I do reccomend the feather headdress as favorite costume idea for teabagging, they look totally awesome!
Yes, it does. Trolls will use a “least-common-denominator” approach to anything they seek to discredit. It shows not only a lack of respect for the dignity of others, it shows a lack of intellectual credentials.
When have you seen a troll post anything insightful?

More violent nonsense against women.
Go Seattle Moss! Great sign. I think my sign is going to be:
Bring Home The Troops – Send In The Democrats!
I like that sign.
In 2004, I had a button that read: Draft Republicans
In 2008, I had to get one that read: Draft Democrats
Funny how things change!
I must be bipolar. Can I keep my baby?
Yes! Uh, no. It depends, I guess.
Most of the troops are Democrats…now

For one, as of August, Barack Obama was clobbering John McCain in donations from active duty military — in fact, men and women serving abroad gave Obama nearly six times more than his opponent, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Republican Ron Paul did even better than McCain with such donations — leading one to wonder how two men who had opposed the war were generating more enthusiasm among soldiers than the man whose presidential campaign had been built around his time as a POW in Vietnam and as a singular champion of the 2007 Surge into Baghdad.
So this comment is to radical to post? Geez

That’s an easy one. Because they trusted the Fraud when he promised to start bringing them home in 60 days.
It’s now Day 86… tick tick tick…

Only Little People Pay Taxes
Fox nation broadcasting tea parties all day. So fair and balanced.
Just wish they would have covered anti invasion marches all day long before the invasion. millions of lives may have been saved. Millions across the nation marched (middle americans) but Fox was not there, MSNBC was not there, CBS, no one was there when millions marched but for this 24 7 says a great deal about our nation about our media and about the priorities of our media.
You’ve probably already realized that, had those anti-war protests all been coordinated to a single day across the country, they would have been covered by all cable networks.
I attended a tea party in Norwich, CT today, and one of the speakers addressed the crowd as a bunch of right-wing extremist terrorists, poking fun obviously at the MSM reports. This tea party was attended by democrats, republicans, young and old who all felt that our system of government has broken down. They were protesting the spending, the bailouts, the inevitable tax increases, but most of all the fact that the politicians in Washington and at the state level do not want to hear the voices of the people. They are no longer there to represent the people, but to further their own self-interests. Today was the start of a revolution, and there is no end in sight. Robert Gibbs may deny that Obama even knew about the upcoming tea parties, but he will assuredly know all about them by tomorrow morning. WE WILL BE HEARD!!! It is my personal hope that this will be the end of an inept two-party political system, and the beginning of a new party, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE. By the way, Rob Simmons, who will be challenging Chris Dodd in 2010, spoke at our rally, [A
oops, what happened? Anyway, Simmons smiled when the crowd broke out in unison, “Dump Dodd, dump Dodd!” I must say that it was refreshiong to see that he was able to speak coherently for many minutes, in complete sentences, and all without a teleprompter! But more importantly, he seems to be with us on these issues, and, while it’s too early to decide who to support, I really liked what he had to say. I would love to get Larry Johnson’s and susanunpc’s opinion of Simmons. It was a great day, America! I would strongly encourage everyone to attend one of the upcoming rallies, for there will be many more. This is only the beginning. WE WILL BE HEARD! [I found myself suspect of anyone in a suit there today, always on the lookout for Acorn reps! And I owe it all to No Quarter! Don't ever stop doing what you do!]
we have only begun to fight..look out.
Portsmouth, NH had a very well-behaved corwd of about 50 people protesting with signs at the North Church, but many more drove by and honked and waved their support. The police were there, but I think they got bored because I saw one motorcycle cop take-off after about an hour. While 50 doesn’t sound like alot, you have to remember Nh is a small state and Portsmouth is not a huge city.
