So far the response to the TEA Party announcement has been pretty good. We have 6 people who have asked for the time/place. I am hoping they bring 3-4 friends apiece. That would be great, especially since we have a potential radio personality from our local talk radio, 1210AM, showing up (maybe) at 1:30. Dom, you are welcome whenever you want to show up!! Yeah, Dom Giordano may show. He is one hell of a talk show host.
If Michael Smerconish showed, that would be the best. He is my morning drive ride-along. He voted democrat, but I respect him none-the-less. He is a Republican who was lured in by the possibility of change. Not realizing that the change Obama was referring to was what he will leave in your paycheck after his tax plans get implemented.

Planning is over....
The time for action is now! The TEA Party in Montgomery County, Pa is on! We are holding it on April 15th. We will be hoisting the TEA Party signs from 12 to 2pm at the 700 Block of West Ave. Coincidentally real close to the Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz's Jenkintown office. Weird how that happens huh?!
All are invited. Democrats, Republicans, it does not matter. All yo have to believe is our taxes and the tax system are out of control, the inmates are running the prison and the government runs for us and by us!
Hope to see you there.
Any questions can be directed to montcoteaparty@gmail.com

Straight up funny! And scary......
I got this from World Net Daily and if they had not come out and said it was a joke, I may have believed it was true!!
President Barack Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress are considering sweeping legislation that will provide new benefits for many Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition.
"Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society," said California Sen. Barbara Boxer. "We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability (POI) to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing."
In a Capitol Hill press conference, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pointed to the success of the U.S. Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack any job skills, making this agency the single largest U.S. employer of Persons With No Ability.
Private-sector industries with good records of non-discrimination against the inept include retail sales (72 percent), the airline industry (68 percent), and home-improvement warehouse stores (65 percent). At the state government level, the Department of Motor Vehicles also has an excellent record of hiring Persons with No Ability (63 percent).
Under the Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million mid-level positions will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.
Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given so as to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees. The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations that promote a significant number of Persons of Inability (POI) into middle-management positions, and give a tax credit to small and medium-sized businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.
Finally, the Americans With No Abilities Act contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the non-abled, banning, for example, discriminatory interview questions such as, "Do you have any skills or experience that relate to this job?"
"As a non-abled person, I can't be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them," said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint, Mich., due to her inability to remember righty tighty, lefty loosey. "This new law should be real good for people like me." With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens will finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Said Sen. Dick Durbin: "As a senator with no abilities, I believe the same privileges that elected officials enjoy ought to be extended to every American with no abilities. It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her inadequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great nation and a good salary for doing so."

Quite a funny little story.....
I recently asked my friend ' s little girl what she wanted to be when
she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of
her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her,
'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do? '
She replied, 'I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people.'
Her parents beamed.
'Wow...what a worthy goal. ' I told her, ' But you don't have to wait
until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and
mow the lawn, pull weeds, and rake my yard, and I'll pay you $50.
Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy
hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house. '
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight
in the eye and asked, ' Why doesn ' t the homeless guy come over
and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50? '
I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'
Her parents still aren't speaking to me.

The New American Tea Party
I was sent an email this evening from a friend. He was kind enough to tell me about a web-site he found. Being skeptical, I had to check it out and needless to say, it will be on my list of places to frequently visit.
It's time for a tea party.

What have you stole from me lately?
The nation's unemployment rate raced to 8.1% in February. Employers cut 651,000 jobs. Since the recession started in December 2007 the economy has lost 4.4 million jobs. Over half of those lost jobs occurred in the past four months. Since president Obama's swearing in on Jan 20, the DOW has lost $2.5 TRILLION in market value and fallen almost 20.5%. U.S. bankruptcy filings surged 31 percent in 2008. More than 600,000 Americans filed claims for jobless benefits for a fifth straight week, the worst performance since 1982. U.S. factory orders are falling for a sixth straight month in January, official data showed. One in every eight U.S. households with mortgages ended 2008 behind on payments or in foreclosure, reported the Mortgage Bankers Association.
But that is okay. I am sure spending TRILLIONS more on earmarks, oops sorry, job creating, worthwhile projects, will get us all that money back. I am sure that very soon all of the retirement funds I have lost will return with interest. The interest I was promised when they bailed out the big three and AIG.
I will admit Obama was handed a recession, but if you listen to him for the previous 1.5 years he was campaigning to become the President, he acted and talked like that didn't matter. he talked like as soon as he was sworn in it was all going to be fixed. Of course now we know what he means by fixed. If you mean driving our national deficit deeper and deeper, lying about earmarks and pork projects (I seem to recall a line from a past president, It depends on what your definition of is is) and being transparent. If by transparent you mean closed door meetings with no republican representation then he is being transparent.
So far this president has been an abysmal failure and utter disgrace. He appoints tax cheats, refuses to prove he is a citizen, loads of his first few bill signings with enough pork to choke every BBQ eater on the planet, makes plans for our future that are killing our economy and wants to raise taxes on those making over $250,000. Last I checked, I never got a job from a poor person!!
How much longer can we afford to let this President wanna-be, cause I am not convinced he is a citizen, steal our money and tax us to death?

Another thought
December 16, 1773 to 4 March, 2009. 85912 days or 12273 weeks or 2822 months or 235 years.
No matter how you look at it, it has been along time since we stood up to the tyranny. British parliament enacted The Townsend Act. The Colonies argued that they did not have an obligation to pay taxes when they had no representation. So all the taxes in The Townsend Act were repealed, save one, the taxes on tea. On December 16, 1773 a few hundred men, tired of the Townsend Acts tax levies and many other issues with the British parliament, marched to Boston harbor disguised as Indians and dumped 3 ships worth of tea into the harbor.
Given the state of our current parliament, I mean government, it only seems appropriate to wonder if it is time for another tea party. Not so much because of the tariffs on tea, but simply because we have no representation. Knowing that if we wanted to do anything about it, it is almost impossible, Congress ignores us. Maybe we need to remind them who works for whom. Maybe we need to mail a tea bag to our congressional leaders. IF they figured it out, would it do any good? Probably not. They get elected to represent us. So maybe they are. Maybe they are doing what we ask. Maybe we need to ask, no, TELL them what we want.
Of course talk is cheap and right now I am as guilty as the next guy. I sit here in my safe, warm chair and type out thoughts, sometimes coherent ones, hoping to inspire someone to start the ball rolling. When all along maybe I need to be the one that gets the ball rolling.
Maybe I need to start the Tea party of 2009.

I'm back
As you can tell I have taken some time off. Had a final I needed to study for and started a new session at school. Ain't college grand? Speakin of education....
I am sure many of you watched CPAC and were able to watch Jonathan krohn. All I can say is DAMN!! I wish he was 44 and running for President. He wrote a book and touts the 4 principles that, I believe, would get him elected; 1) Respect for the Constitution (2) Respect for Life (3) Less Government (4) Personal Responsibility. Sounds good to me. Maybe he could speak to our current administration about those principles. They could use the education or in honor of their Socialist / Marxist / Communist views (depends on which liberal you speak to), re-education.
Too often Republicans get caught up in trying to be Liberal Lite. They try to be just conservative enough to get the Republican vote and liberal enough to get swing votes. Not this kid. He went out and in 2 minutes said more than 90% of the party line Republicans EVER could.
If the Republican party wants to get back the majority then we need a few more men and women like this "kid".
Way to go Jonathan.
