Politico: Dick Armey

Tea partiers air doubts about Armey

My only advice to fellow teapartiers is to just watch everything he says and does.    Any politician is potentially suspect when they seek to “lead” this movement.  We do not need politicians to keep up the fight for freedom.  We need educated patriots willing to fight this on the streets and in the courts as well as the court of public opinion.

“It seemed a strange fit to begin with — a former House Republican leader turned $750,000-a-year Washington lobbyist who resurfaced as perhaps the single most identifiable leader of a populist, anti-Washington movement.

And in recent weeks, Dick Armey has found himself targeted by a quiet, but concerted campaign from fellow conservatives challenging — and seeking to undermine — his status as a leader of the tea party movement.

Critics ranging from prominent conservatives to bloggers to grass-roots tea party activists have called into question whether Armey’s stances on illegal immigration and social issues, his candidate endorsements and his past lobbying work are fundamentally inconsistent with the tea party movement. They also have suggested he raised the white flag too early in the fight over the Democratic health care overhaul and is beholden to corporate benefactors, and have accused him of trying to hijack the tea parties to serve those benefactors or his own personal political ambitions.

To be sure, some of the resentment seems to stem from jealousy over adept positioning by Armey that has put him and the small-government nonprofit group he co-chairs, FreedomWorks, at the vanguard of tea party activism, which everyone on the right — from theRepublican Party and its elected officials to the groups that emerged from the 1960s restructuring of the conservative movement — has jockeyed to harness.

But the attacks on Armey, which started as a whisper campaign and have spilled out into the open in the past couple weeks, also highlight deeper tensions within the loose confederation of local and state groups that make up the tea party, as well as the broader conservative movement, about whether there is any need for national leaders, and whether social and national security issues should be part of the agenda.”

Big Hollywood: Andrew Bribart – A Race Odyssey

2010: A Race Odyssey — Disproving a Negative for Cash Prizes or, How the Civil Rights Movement Jumped the Shark

“As I have said over and over and over, the left has one trick that it will use again and again when its back is in the corner: shout ‘racist’ in a crowded country.

On Saturday, during the peaceful and patriotic tea party protest at the Capitol, the Democrats staged a series of symbolic acts meant to manipulate the media to do its bidding. The Congressional Black Caucus pulled the Selma card and chose to walk through the crowd in the hopes of creating a YouTube incident. This is what it looked like:”

And This:

There is no reason in 21st century America on an issue that is not a black or white or a civil rights issue to have a bloc of black people walk slowly through a mostly white crowd to make a racial point. The walk in and of itself — with two of the participants holding their handheld cameras above their heads hoping to document “proof” — was an act of racism meant to create a contrast between the tea party crowd and themselves.

Go Read the whole piece, simply excellent.  Glenn Beck was making the same point on his radio show this morning…

Reading this reminded me of the Democratic National Convention.  I attended a sunday Pro. President Bush/Pro Troop Rally that morning before the DNC began and a reporter from the Denver Post Newspaper came over to our group and held a microphone above our crowd to see if he could get Conservative nastyness on tape as the Recreate 68 Democrat activists held a march that morning and in all of their pathetic demonstrativeness marched past our group of Patriots.  The reporter was not trying to cover the marchers, he wanted to get conservatives on tape yelling at hippies.  Nobody verbally abused them, but I did hand out a few  Hippy Hygiene Kits to some of the street activists.

This video outlines some of the things I have done over the past few years to annoy the other side – the potential for non-violent street activism is limitless and you are only held back by a lack of imagination.  Ghandi encouraged his people to make their own clothes and salt.  American Health Care Slaves literally have it within their power to use just about any non-violent “tool” at their disposal and have some fun while doing it, as we seek to restore our Republic.

Griff Jenkins got into the middle of the Recreate 68 Hippy march and about the only thing the moonbats were willing to say was “F*ck Fox News”.  Really intelligent people…

Conversely our Rally for the troops was attended by several war heros including Brian Ivers, I was able to get his speech on Tape:

Pure unadulterated FREE SPEECH!

I don’t know about anyone else out there, but this video made me laugh…(Just a note to anyone reading this, I decide what is funny to me, not the cultural marxists in our society…)

This has never, ever, ever happened before — even at the stupidest American university. . . . Since I’ve arrived in Canada, I’ve been denounced on the floor of Parliament — which, by the way, is on my bucket list — my posters have been banned, I’ve been accused of committing a crime in a speech that I have not yet given, I was banned by the student council. So welcome to Canada!

Mark Steyn also weighs in at NRO:

Susan Cole, Canadian “feminist,” defending the mob on Fox News:

We don’t have that same political culture here in (Canada). . . . We don’t have a 1st Amendment, we don’t have a religion of free speech. . . . Students sign off on all kinds of agreements as to how they’ll behave on campus, in order to respect diversity, equity, all of the values that Canadians really care about. Those are the things that drive our political culture. Not freedoms, not rugged individualism, not free speech. It’s different, and for us, it works.

“Translated from the original Canadian, “diversity” means “state-mandated mob-enforced conformity.” As for whether “it works” for Canadians, ask Guy Earle. On Monday Mr. Earle, a stand-up comedian of conventionally Trudeaupian views, goes on trial at the British Columbia “Human Rights” Tribunal for putting down two hecklers at his nightclub act. They were, alas for him, of the lesbian persuasion, and so he is now charged with “homophobia.”What a wretched embarrassment to a once free society.”

“The saddest aspect of this sad day is the number of people who’ve sent e-mails denouncing the Ottawa bullies but ending with the words “If you print this, please don’t mention my name.” Don’t you realize that that’s part of the problem? In a sane world, it would be François Houle and Fatima Al Dhaher and Susan Cole who would be ashamed to have their names mentioned. But they’re not. They’re proud to nail their colours to the masts of state censorship, Israeli eliminationism, and mob violence – while your support for free speech and other traditional liberties can only be expressed sotto voce and anonymously. That right there tells you how much of Canada you’ve already lost.”
