Highly recommended. 5*5*5*5*5.

squishy Senators’ heads going thud as they flat-out faint at the very notion of actually taking a stand on principle. Thud away!

EPU You are so wonderful!!!!!!!!

It’s a nice thought that we could get 41 senators that would disagree with this DHS report, but do you really think you could find 41 of them that disagree with the report and are willing to take a stand?

From the link above:

He spoke without any notes in a voice that became louder and louder, climaxing with the now famous ending. Following his speech, the vote was taken in which his resolutions passed by a narrow margin, and thus Virginia joined in the American Revolution.

What, no teleprompter?

That one got my eyes misty…It is long past time for *our* Senators and Reps to stiffen their spines and actually represent us!!

If you think we are bluffing, call it.

… and keep them up and running 24/7. No sh*t.

I would give a lot of my life to see this happen.

I loved the article:)!!! Our GOP senators need to start meaning business just like Patrick Henry did. The Obama is far overreaching with their power and are violating the Constitution. We, as conservatives, need to take this country back. The TEA PARTIES was a great start!!!! Now we need to continue with such movements like the 912 PROJECT.

The US and freedom is the only thing that keeps this whole earth from blowing itself to bits. We must preserve liberty, or the US and then the world goes with it.

Take a stand.

Right on the money EPU. It’s time for the conservatives to stand up and go to the mat on this. For too long CongressCritters have done what they wanted to and have made a complete mess out of things.

It is now the time to draw a line in the sand and say “Enough”. Quit being progressive Republicans and start voting conservative or go find another day job.

We need people with the strength of their convictions and character to fight this restructuring America movement. The founding fathers did this in much worse times, why can’t we find enough solid conservatives to do the right thing?

To think, we could have had Sen. Thompson and we got the complete opposite because he said what people wanted to hear.

All GOP Senators need a copy and need to live up to it.

Too bad Cornyn and KBH’s names weren’t on that list. These tea parties were as much as protest against the DC GOP as it was the Dems. We’ll see if the former got the message as the latter is to stupid to comprehend it.

the Heirs of Patrick Henry. (Yes, I stole that from a Robert Heinlein piece, we like him here). The PAC supports candidates who draw the line in the sand — at every level. If it means funding their campaign chests, you can get them to stand.

Men and women who have stood up to engage the enemies of the United States and protect the rights and the lives of her citizens are deemed a threat to the national security while convicted felons are actively being pursued as a voting block?!!. http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1553510,00.html http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-felons29-2008oct29,0,4230101.story http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A9785-2004Aug17.html (Guess which party.) What in the world happened to integrity and respect?

God Bless that red-headed firebrand from Hanover County. And God Bless EPU!

Would that our Senators possessed 1/10th the moral courage of Henry.

If the younger zee’s weren’t dedicated gators, I’d be moving the family to Texas now!

Articles 3&4 in The Declaration of the Rights of Man;

3. The principle of all sovereignty resides essentially in the nation. No body nor individual may exercise any authority which does not proceed directly from the nation.

4. Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else; hence the exercise of the natural rights of each man has no limits except those which assure to the other members of the society the enjoyment of the same rights. These limits can only be determined by law.

Read it, believe it, understand it, live it. Accept no less, lead and never surrender.

There are very few instances in history when one can seize upon the righteous outrage of so many and embark upon a new course that leads to victoria populi. NOW is such a time.

If only a congressman had the spine to stand up and read that.

…I think I like him!

Excellent! This is one of those that I will print out and tack to a wall, page by page, in my office (when I have an office, anyway).

I wish more people in positions of power had your guts.

It’s not out of the question that the 2009 TEA party participants could someday be respected by history as patriots who made a difference- same as 1773. This was just the sort of public demonstration of outrage that’s needed to break through the media’s disingenuous, manufactured version of reality- and draw a line in the sand… and it was a HUGE success.

The vast majority of Americans DON’T want a massive government sector and all the weird totalitarian schemes Barack has up his sleeve- and now they’re starting to figure out just what he’s up to. Obama can expect SERIOUS resistance from this point-on… because what he’s doing both at-home and abroad is resolutely anti-American.

Now all you paid-drones from Plouffe’s internet squadrons can attack me, LOL.

-Rasmussen should be interesting tomorrow…

I would stand alongside of you on the frontlines of this battle, if it comes to that.

I’m a 53 y/o Marine Corps Veteran and I am still in good enough shape to open up some whup-ass on any two 20 something marshmello Obots.

I am so sick of Minnesota that I took a job for less money in Tennessee, just in case the Nation fractures. I never though i would see the day that an American President would bow to an Arab and cover up the symbol of Christ.

July 4th Tea Party….I’ll be there.

Call me when you are ready to form the resistance.

I’m sorry to dissent, but the report doesn’t express concern for conservatism; it’s about extremism, clearly about terrorist behavior like “the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and disrupted plots.”

This is like a Muslim community blog objecting to the “Bin Laden determined to strike in US” briefing.

Unless this emotional appeal is built on a faulty premise, it seems to imply that the author sees a link between conservative ideals and a penchant to subvert a democratically elected government. If there is such a link, then you are proving the very concerns of the DHS document.

Incidentally, we have seen such incitement here (and reposted on dozens of conservative blogs):
http://www.redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/04/16/those-dangerous-tea-parties-are-you-the-threat-weve-been-waiting-for/

I hate to see such abandonment of rationality in favor of emotion. It’s as bad as liberal victimization, so let’s practice some restraint and rely on reason.

Excellent!!

Being one of those extremists in multiple ways as defined by DHS, I have been pushing at the 912ers meetings and website postings, tea party organizational meetings, and even hinted in my one tea party speech that if the tea party grass roots rallies do not move congress, and they apparently haven’t yet by recent votes since the tea parties started on February 16th, then following MLK’s civil rights movement tactics, picketing of local congressional offices of the politicians voting for spend and tax should commence. If that doesn’t work, then it would be on to civil disobedience with sit-ins. Of course this was the type of tactics that Shays’ people utilized in 1786 that led to the rebellion when the state government ignored their more civil actions. Hopefully congress is more astute than was the Massachusetts government in Shays time or Southern Democrats were during the civil rights movement.

The Greatest Generation saved our nation from Fascism so we owe future generations a serious effort to return to the economic and personal freedom they fought so bravely to retain. As I expected I have convinced few people of the necessity of such actions; therefore I may have go it alone.

One stop shopping for all your legislative contacting needs.

Outstanding post! These namby-pambys have got to go! 2010 can’t here fast enough for me.

Except for the fact that this proposed letter would just be an empty threat. There aren’t 41 senators who would do that.

But maybe we can vote all the “moderates” out (probably about 30 GOP Senators who would not sign this). Then we’d have the Democrats right we want them - with about 75 seats in the Senate.

You see, the problem is not that our Senators lack backbone. The problem is that we lack Senators, and we lack voters. Until more people want Republicans to win, this type of gesture is futile.

To all of you pathetic, wimpy, cowardly, stand-for-nothing Republican Senators (you know who you are):
I am sending to you the following letter, which was posted at:
http://www.redstate.com/e_pluribus_unum/2009/04/17/vitter-demint-et-al-time-to-go-patrick-henry/
Go read it there, too.
Then, try “growing a pair” and DO SOMETHING. SOMETHING REAL AND MEANINGFUL. For example, Teleprompter Boy said this morning he was going to request his cabinet come up with $100 M in spending cuts. Some reporter did the math and said on the radio that this was less than two-thousandths of a per cent of the entire spending Teleprompter Boy has proposed and you clowns will allow him to pass.
Want to grow the Republican Party? Then resurrect the Reagan Era principles. Gee, he only won in landslides. Wise up. Questions? Call me. My number’s below. If I don’t pick up, I’m working for a living. Leave a message, I’ll call you back.
Here’s the post, entitled “Vitter, DeMint, et al.: Time to go Patrick Henry on Obama’s Assault on Conservatives.”
