Tea Party U.S.A.: The movement grows

Seattle on Monday. Denver on Tuesday. Mesa AZ on Wednesday. Overland Park, Kansas today. What a week, huh? We got the anti-stimulus, anti-entitlement protest ball rolling — and now the movement, spurred further by CNBC host Rick Santelli’s call for a “Chicago Tea Party,” is really taking off.

David Hogberg at Investor’s Business Daily has a nice piece out today spotlighting the growing taxpayer revolt the rest of the MSM won’t cover. He interviewed our registered commenters Liberty Belle Keli Carender, who spearheaded the Seattle anti-pork protest, and HuskerGirl Amanda Grosserode, who organized today’s anti-stimulus demonstration against Democrat Rep. Dennis Moore in Overland Park, KS.

I’m happy to report on several new protest events now on the docket.

My friend Michael Patrick Leahy of Top Conservatives on Twitter and his crew are spearheading “simultaneous local tea parties around the country, beginning in Chicago, and including Washington DC, Fayetteville NC, San Diego CA, Omaha Nebraska, and dozens of other locations” for next Friday.

Time: February 27, 2009 from 12pm to 1pm
Location: Chicago, Washington DC, other cities, Twitter
Go to OfficialChicagoTeaParty.com for all the info.

Co-sponsors of the events with #TCOT include #DONTGO, Smart Girl Politics, Americans for Tax Reform, Heartland Institute, and American Spectator Magazine. The tea parties will be “simultweeted” with the hashtag #teaparty. You can find me tweeting here.

There’s a Facebook page here for the DC Tea Party. I hear that PJTV will also be stepping up to the plate.

If you are in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, reader Mark Christopher Frimmel has come forward to put a Tea Party ‘09 event together. He put up an ad on Dallas Craigslist, has contacted local radio and TV, and wants you to be there. The protest will be held on the outside stage at The Cowtown Bar & Grill on Friday, Feb. 27, from 3pm to 7pm, located at 7108 Camp Bowie Blvd Fort Worth, TX. Music, food, and great fiscal conservative company guaranteed.

Are you in Georgia? Reader Patrick e-mails that he’s “getting a tax protest off the ground in Atlanta. I’d appreciate it if you’d pass on the word. The blog is http://atlantataxprotest.blogspot.com.” He needs your help. Calling Neal Boortz!

Here’s a snippet from Hogberg’s IBD piece to get your motors running:

As unemployment soars and anger over Wall Street bailouts mounts, public outrage will seek an outlet. Populism could go in many directions — and could easily ebb when the economy revives. But if it takes shape as an anti-spending movement, it could revive conservatives much as the 1970s tax protests did.

To be sure, the protest sizes so far are a far cry from the left’s anti-globalization and anti-war demonstrations of the past decade. But they appear to have grass-roots origins. The organizer of the Kansas protest, Amanda Grosserode, calls herself a home-schooling mom who is “fed up” with the spending in Washington. She has been a member of Fair Tax Kansas City since last fall.

“My husband and I were feeling frustrated that the stimulus had passed with very little debate and no one had read it,” she told IBD. “I said, ‘We need to do something.’ ” She began contacting family and friends, and eventually received attention via Fair Tax Kansas City and local talk radio.

Grosserode received considerably more publicity after e-mailing popular conservative commentator and blogger Michelle Malkin.

“I think the taxpayer revolt is the new counterculture,” said Malkin, who has been publicizing the protests on her blog. “People want to stand up and say, ‘Hey, I’m paying for that, I do not support that.’ “

Brendan Steinhauser has a terrific set of detailed tips on how to organize your own tea party protest.

Don’t wait for someone else to do it.

Don’t make excuses.

Don’t think you can pull one off because you’ve never done it before? Look at mom-bloggers Liberty Belle and HuskerGirl.

Yes, you can!

Limbaugh the Hayekian?
Posted by Lew Rockwell at February 25, 2009 01:42 PM

Writes Richard Potter:

A guy at my job insists on listening to Rush Limbaugh everyday at lunch. I nearly choked on my roast beef sub today when I heard Rush praising F.A. Hayek (calling him a brilliant economist) and trashing Barney Frank for preventing Ron Paul from slamming Ben Bernanke during a committee hearing.

At least he may pique the interest of some of his listeners, huh? Keep up the excellent work!

UPDATE: Here is the transcript and MP3.

This is becoming nuts. RUSH LIMBAUGH. God damn all these people are bought and sold.

Get ya friends to stop listening if you can, after getting them to check out Ron Paul and Mises.org and LewRockwell.com :eek:

No-one honestly thinks we converted Rush Limbaugh, or he is being genuine, right? :eek:
 
Conza, absolutely flippin' correct!!!!! Excellent analysis/observation.
 
Rush Limbaugh, one of the most hated personalities in America. Normal people just don't like him.

Rush Limbaugh: "I LOVE RON PAUL."

Stop drinking the kool-aid folks.
 
The Demise of the Media
Posted by Butler Shaffer at March 5, 2009 12:36 PM
With the change in administrations in Washington, have Fox News and MSNBC also switched roles as outlets for the absurd in "news" reporting? MSNBC's Keith Olbermann - who did a fairly decent job criticizing George Bush and much of his administration in recent years - has, thus far, failed to offer significant criticism of Obama. Indeed, with Bush now having been out of office for more than six weeks, the main thrust of Olbermann's program has been a continuing critique of Bush, with occasional lampoons of the buffoonish Rush Limbaugh thrown in for comic relief. Nor has MSNBC's Chris Matthews shown any retreat from his earlier statement "to do everything to make [the Obama presidency] work." Nor can I overlook Andrea Mitchell's [Mrs. Alan Greenspan] interviews with "experts" addressing current economic problems!

When I turned on MSNBC this morning, the big story had to do with live helicopter coverage of Michael Jackson's bus driving through the streets of London. Can more stories of water-skiing squirrels be far behind?

I wonder if the purveyors of this intellectual slush have even the remotest idea why their readership and viewership are rapidly collapsing? I can't help recalling Jefferson's line: "Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just."

MORE BLIND STARK REALITY.
 
Great thread. Conza describes exactly how I feel about the media and the bipolar-party system.

The two main parties take turns gnawing the constitution like rats. It's disgusting.
 
'Libertarian' Hero
Posted by Lew Rockwell at March 6, 2009 10:19 AM
This morning on CNBC's Squawk Box, the guest host was ex-Dallas Fed head Bob McTeer. He handed out the usual baloney, that Keynesian economics is the cure for what ails us; that Keynes was a great investor [think he might have had insider info?]; that Keynes's 'paradox of thrift' is true, that is, that saving is wrong and we we should spend every depreciated dime. He has shilled, no surprise, for every bailout and other Fed theft. That is, he is typical state official. So why was I livid? Because McTeer has been endlessly praised by regime libertarians as a free-market, sound money guy. They have given him the Adam Smith Prize, and a plush no-show job at one of their many think-tanks. When he issued, with printing press money, a very expensive publication praising Frederic Bastiat, this was held out by "libertarians" as a libertarian act, rather than the use of a great and good man to cover evil.

I only met once the head of the "libertarian" think-tank that has done the most for McTeer. He immediately launched into a vicious and personal attack on Murray Rothbard. But then, that is the calling card of anyone on the Koch Brothers' payroll.

Ha! :D

The irony in that scene is the people only do it - because a talking head of TV told them to do it...

So, the [behind the scenes] Oligarchs are now removing the "brown shirts" (i.e. front-men shills) as a sacrificial offering to the public.

They did this in Nazi Germany..... and they've been using this technique for thousands of years... the front-men shills always do their bidding and then get payback in the end as part of the effort to quell the anger of the masses.

Ho hummm.... this is like watching paint dry.... these guys never ever change their techniques. They pretend like they are so brilliant and possess so much power, but all they're doing is following really old recipe books to the letter. Why 'o why does the public never figure this shit out?

Pat Buchanan's Great Article on Economics
Posted by Stephen Carson at March 24, 2009 12:14 PM

I can't believe I just wrote that! But, well, read it yourself:

"The first panacea for a mismanaged nation," said Ernest Hemingway, "is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists."

...inflation is theft. It make liars and cheats of governments. By eroding the value of a currency, inflation punishes savers and creditors and rewards debtors. And what nation is the biggest debtor of them all? The United States of America.

A "Conservative Manifesto" my ass. I've listen to that guy before and here is a 110% frothing at the mouth unapologetic neocon boot-licker. It is no wonder he HATES Ron Paul. Levin is the guy who told people on air to call Ron Paul's congressional phone number and tell him to drop dead, he then challenged Ron Paul supporters to call his show and defend him. During the show, so many Ron Paul supporters called it shut down his phone lines so he could field calls from the usual neocon rabble. So Levin just sits there on air playing music for 3 hours because he has nothing to talk about except to occasionally chime in and say no Ron Paul supporters are calling so they must not exist.

Now he wants to write a book about liberty and tyranny and call it a "conservative manifesto"? Someone needs to tell him the real manifesto has already been written, by Ron Paul.

Levin is a copy-cat sack of shit. He forgot to wrap that flag on the cover around a cross and nail himself to it.
