White House Blocks TEA Party at Treasury
Live now on Fox -- White House is blocking TEA Party set for the Treasury in DC,. despite the demonstration already having been granted a permit. Second TEA Party at Lafayette Park to proceed, but White House blocked the unloading of 1M tea bags.
This comes upon the DHS report warning that such demonstrations are "hate groups" that must be monitored closely as such demonstrators are "prone to owning guns and being violent."
Wild Thing's comment......
" despite the demonstration already having been granted a permit"
I'm sure the Founders of this country would have asked for a permit!
Also that property belongs to ALL of us.
They're getting worried. Good. Government is supposed to fear the people. Sadly, vise versa has been the case for too long. “The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.” Thomas Jefferson

I listened to the Governor of Texas yesterday. Parphrasing, he said, the Federal Government was created by the States to serve the States. Today, the Federal Government lords over the States.
They're suppose to be "public servants". That means they serve the public but instead they lord over us.

According to the Declaration of Independance, it is suppose to be 'The Consent of the Governed', we send them to Washington to represent us, we the people. This isn't happening. Politicians go on endlessly about the virtues of "equality of opportunity," and some even seek to legitimize the insane notion of "equality of outcome." But a sane nation will embrace only two kinds of equality: (1) the equality of men's souls at birth; and (2) the equality of all men under the law.
When they start trying to predict the equality of outcomes and opportunity then the government is meddleling with the Liberty of the individual. This to me is NOT what this country is all about, that is Socialism.
Socialism destroys the inner spirit of the individual. Orly Taitz, a Lawyer and Dentist, who represents Alan Keyes, gave an example of this. Given to her by her father when she lived in the Soviet Union, an ambitious farmer can work hard and at the end of the month he will get a 100 ruples by the same token a lazy famer who does as little as possible he too will get 100 ruples at the end of the month. Equal outcomes not equal input. Socialism is not a fair system and it is NOT the American Way.
Go Texas, go...and Go Longhorns.

Hi WT, it is hard for me to get out due to famoli circumstances. I did go to Kingston, NY tonight with my son and spent a few minutes there at the Kingston tea party. I was surprised how many were there. Probably abouy 100 and the noise was from people in cars passing by and honking their horns and waving Very peaceful, everyone friendly and I got a few pictures and posted them on my site. Kingston is a very small Hudson Valley city, which was actually the first capital of NY. Take a peek. I talked to the man who organized this and he is going to try to do something on July 4.

Been out and about all day today and still not home, didn't see any unruly's but most of my day was in the dentists office, I wanted to go to Olympia but couldn't be in both places at the same time. I hope all those lefties take notice that we are serious.

all the Gov.'s were speaking out like
this and doing what they are doing
in Texas.

That is great Bob, thank you for sharing
about it. I think they all were great. I

Jack, your right,I think they will take
notice even if they don't like what they
saw in how huge a reaction the tea parties
were today. They will lie about how many
showed up or how great it was but photos
do not lie nor do those that atteneded.
