Tax Day Tea Parties

[JennyD]

I understand that our illustrious City Council has decided that Freehold should not host a Tax Day Tea Party this year. I guess they didn't want to see if the town square could actually hold ALL of the population!

So, The Monthly Visitor is pleased to announce that we will be sponsoring two charter buses (one for men and their families, and one for women who are in their unclean time) to the Tea Party in Des Moines! There will even be a special protest area for the ladies, so they may attend without rendering other Christians unclean!

Help take our country back! Speak out against big government control over our money, lives, and personal liberties.

All government money comes from YOU! Your tax dollars fund the government.

Almost $1,500,000,000,000 (1½ trillion) dollars were authorized in the last 5 months, over the Bush and Obama administrations. That money is money that will have to be paid by you, your children, and your grandchildren. It went to places like AmTrak and AIG.

Stimulus? Hardly. Money pit? Yes!

But wait - there's more! The government intends to spend and spend and spend, to give your money to failed companies and political allies as payback. It's wrong. It's immoral.

It's time to say... NO!
Gather with us, average people just like you, who want to tell the government "No!" in a big way that they can't ignore on Tax Day.

Who will be coming? Please RSVP by Monday!

We're asking for a donation of only $10 to help cover the cost of the buses.

We'll be leaving The Monthly Visitor at 7:00 Wednesday morning, with a stop at IHOP on the way. (They've set aside a whole dining room just for us!)

Did you add it to the calendar, or make a user group for you trip? I might forget, otherwise.

Re: Tax Day Tea Parties

I wish I were in Iowa for Tax Day. I could finally meet the lovely JennyD!

But I'll be visiting family in Oregon, instead.

So, I'm going to go to the Tea Party in Salem, Oregon (that's the state capital), and will post pictures!

I'm still not convinced by this. If it's such a worthwhile event, how come it doesn't have "Jesus", "Christian" or "Biblical" in the name? A Jesus Tax Day Biblical Tea Christian Party For The Lord, now there's an event I'd be willing to go to.

You bring up an interesting point Brother Temperance. If I'm not mistaken the original "Boston Tea Party" was where Godly Americans seized British tea and dumped it into Boston harbor to protest British taxes. It seems now that we have to buy our own tea to protest, not to mention that drinking tea is a British homer "poofta" tradition anyway.

What is disturbing is that the DEMONcrat congress is taking away our charitable tax deductions, and that directly affects our ability to deduct our tithings to Landover Baptist Church. This development directly affects and offends Jesus and is worthy of outrage and protest. DEMONcrats are stealing money that belongs to Jesus and using it to advance the LIEbral homer abortion stem cell sickular death agenda.

I've added it to the calendar just for you, and also made a Tax PartyGoer group.

No.

We're just bringing our regular handguns . . . concealed, of course. All the ladies have concealed-carry permits.

This is a peaceful protest, Pastor! No need to be flashing
firearms! Next you'll be asking us to bare our
bazookas!

Re: Tax Day Tea Parties

Lots of our friends are going to be there. 5 pages of Stormfront's White Nationalists saying promising to show up:

http://www.stormfront.org/forum/show...12#post6725312

Go to these events filled with the spirit of WHITE racial reconquista!

Go to these events like you intend to be a Founding Father or Founding Mother of a White America born from racial revolution.

Go to these events as if you were in the inner circle of the NSDAP in the 1920s while the German nation and people were being devastated by international Jewish power and ravaged by Marxist scum.

Go in to seize the moments and change the course of history for our people.

It's amazing to me that liberals, with their oh-so-liberal educations, view the Tea Parties as a mere "spouting off" by all us malcontents. An annoying but ultimately trivial thing to them.

If they understood American history a bit better, had they been properly taught at their universities, they'd make the obvious and terrible connection between the original Tea Party, and what it foreshadowed.

Their ridiculing is only for mass consumption in an attempt to minimize support for the Tea Party events and the growing implicitly White mass resistence movement.

They ARE concerned about these events gathering so many fed-up White Americans and their leaders know the potential for it to grow/develop into a real threat. But they can't show too much concern publicly yet.

It's not just about taxes and conservatism, it's also about government intrusion - gun grabbing, socialism, and total government control. If "super chimp" and his cronies get their way we"ll be rounded up and thrown into FEMA camps

...already made mine...been posting them all over the east coast and handing them out at GUN SHOWS !
I've seen probably 50 videos on TV showing previous marches and what strikes me is that the participants are all WHITE. It stands to reason . . . we're the ones being taxed to support Affirmative Action, Welfare and other worthless social programs. It's our tax dollars going to ACORN and supporting the 12 million illegals swarming into our neighborhoods.

For the first time, white people (a.k.a. the lemmings) are finally awake and taking to the streets...

So turn off the computer. Take off the red laces and fold your jeans over your Doc Martins. Hang the storm trooper uniform in the closet. Take off the robe. Reverently fold your Confederate flag and put it away for now...

Looks like it will be even more fun than last time!

Re: Tax Day Tea Parties

The True Conservatives™ know that Stormfront is just a front organization for ACORN, working with the Huff n Puff Post.

Their goal is to make all us Conservatives look like bigoted, racist nutjobs.

No doubt they will be at our events, trying to ruin our protest so they can get more of our tax dollars for welfare mothers, while Obama drives the deficit higher than the Tower of Babel!

Just look at what they're up to: http://www.businessandmedia.org/arti...407185054.aspx

ACORN, HuffPo Organizing Efforts to Infiltrate Tax Day Tea Parties
FNC's Cavuto says efforts underway to make protests appear as 'fringe-group efforts' and in some cases as 'racist undertakings.'

Acts of protest tend to be synonymous with the left and are usually considered unsurprising on the right. However, when conservatives demonstrate – liberals take notice in a big way.

On Fox News Channel’s April 7 “Your World,” host Neil Cavuto reported that the Tax Day tea party protests on April 15 will be “infiltrated” by their political opponents and led by left-wing activist organizations. He specifically named Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).


“Only eight days before a nationwide tea party, some over-caffeinated crashers aiming to lay waste to it,” Cavuto said. “Reports of very well-organized infiltrators trying to mix in and rain on this parade. Talk about taxing.”

One organizer, Mark Meckler of the Sacramento Tea Party, dismissed the counter efforts and said they were to be expected.

“We don’t take them seriously at all, and I’ll tell you why,” “It’s not that they don’t exist – we expect people to attempt to infiltrate,” Meckler said. “We expect people to attempt to disturb what we are doing, but the reality is that this is a very broad-based grassroots movement. There is no leader at the top. There is no individual event that they can disturb that would cause us a problem nationwide.”

Meckler explained that everyone was invited – even if they come to promote a philosophy that runs counter to what the tea party movement is attempting to convey.

“So also, the people – we trust the grassroots,” Meckler continued. “We know, the people are skeptical of anyone approaching at these events, and we believe that people are going to handle it well. And in fact, we invite everybody to come to our events. We don’t care if they are from ACORN, The Huffington Post or the Daily Kos. We want them all there. We’re excited to have them attend.”

In fact, The Huffington Post has even set up a Web site for so-called citizen journalists to infiltrate the protests.

“The Huffington Post wants to have citizen journalists at as many of these events as possible,” Arthur Delaney wrote for The Huffington Post on April 7. “If you think you'd be interested in attending one of the Tea Parties and reporting back to us with dispatches, photos, or video, click here to sign up. We'll contact you shortly with further instructions.”

If you sign-up, you receive an automated message from Matthew Palevsky, the Huffington Post’s associate editor of citizen journalism.

“Thanks for becoming a Tea Party Reporter,” the e-mail from Palevsky says. “This e-mail is just a quick confirmation that we have received your contact info and will email you our plans during the coming week. In the meantime, we'd love to hear your thoughts. Whether they be questions, suggestions or story ideas, share them with us at submissions+ideas@ huffingtonpost.com.”

John O’Hara, organizer of the Chicago Tea Party said he wasn’t worried either about these sorts of efforts and specifically named ACORN, calling them out of touch with mainstream America.

“Neil, I’m not worried about it at all,” O’Hara said. “This is a genuine grassroots movement. If ACORN wants to send some of their paid, pretend activists to show up – that’s fine. They don’t have a message that resonates with the American people or resonates with this broad coalition that’s upset with this spending that’s going on in Washington.”

Cavuto explained the early reports of the “so-called infiltration plan” were an attempt to make it look like fringe-group efforts and in some case appears as a “racist undertaking.”

“The people understand what these movements are about,” Meckler said. “The people who are involved understand that they’re not racist. They are not fringe. They’re not even partisan. I mean, these are events where we have people across the board – Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, liberals, Libertarians – you name it.”

I plan to be there. Can you believe the lies being put out about this noble effort of Real Americans® ?

Despite these attempts to make the “movement” appear organic, the principle organizers of the local events are actually the lobbyist-run think tanks Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Works. The two groups are heavily staffed and well funded, and are providing all the logistical and public relations work necessary for planning coast-to-coast protests:

[edit]Definitions
Campaigns & Elections magazine defines astroturf as a "grassroots program that involves the instant manufacturing of public support for a point of view in which either uninformed activists are recruited or means of deception are used to recruit them." Journalist William Greider has coined his own term to describe corporate grassroots organizing. He calls it "democracy for hire."

Senator Lloyd Bentsen, himself a long-time Washington and Wall Street insider, is credited with coining the term "astroturf lobbying" to describe the synthetic grassroots movements that now can be manufactured for a fee by companies like Beckel Cowan, Bivings Group, Bonner & Associates, Burson-Marsteller, Davies Communications, DCI Group, Direct Impact, Hill & Knowlton, Issue Dynamics Inc., National Grassroots & Communications, or Optima Direct.

Unlike genuine grassroots activism which tends to be money-poor but people-rich, astroturf campaigns are typically people-poor but cash-rich. Funded heavily by corporate largesse, they use sophisticated computer databases, telephone banks and hired organizers to rope less-informed activists into sending letters to their elected officials or engaging in other actions that create the appearance of grassroots support for their client's cause.
