And I thank each and every one of them who were there. I don’t have the means to travel there or I’d be there, too. Since I can’t, I consider them my representatives in WA DC (yes, the protesting Tea Partiers are my reps and not those elected jackasses) and I thank them for going up there and raising a ruccus for me.
Militant Conservative commented:
I tried to phone into the capital hill line with no luck….busy every time or all circuits are busy.
Thanks Rush for the second time ever giving orders to the troops. Operation Revolt is in full swing! LETS ROLL! This is the same as the terrorists on 911. If you relax you die fight back and YOUR offspring receive the blessings of liberty. Fair trade, LET’s ROCK! powder is dry

Truth is, MC, if you fight back you still die. But still, I prefer to go down raising hell to rolling over and dying.

No wonder Obama the “Cowardly Lion” is asking for “Courage”….sorry, I’m not that good at photo shopping, so maybe someone can put Obama’s face in this one….
sandy commented:
I am so impressed with the Tea Party and with you guys in this room. I have discovered The Right and I will never go back to the Dem Party. Being a Republican is about love of God and Country. Its about Individual Freedom and the American Dream. In the words of my late Mother — This Too Shall Pass. But my passion for the Republican Party will go on.
Rosemary Woodhouse commented:
While I laud those valiant patriots who are being proactive, I must repeat: They. Do. Not. Care.
Britny commented:
Repeal Healthcare!

When in the course of human events….
I have had the sober discussion with my wife and my in-laws. We will die free men. Enough,
you cannot stop a determined enemy. Entrenched, well supplied and knowing the rules of engagement. These can be perverted to protect the “criminal”. Gee, unintended consequences of the left’s dogma. All is fair play in war and politics, here we have both. the current administration does not have the love of the LAW enforcement nor the MILITARY.
whoops we missed him, whoops we did not cover that route. Passive resistance from the afore mentioned groups. He does not control That which is nessesary to secure the ground game. The Military in particular swears an oath that I still adhear to today. “to protect and defend the constitution of the United States from ALL enemys foreign and domestic” come and take it you poser, you don’t have the muscle. WE are the street agitators, with the will and the blessing of the one true GOD.
You have been warned.
AuntieMadder commented:
Oh, you’re an oath keeper, maybe an Oath Keeper, too. Of course you are. Just so you know, I’ll be there, full of piss and vinegar and madder than two hornets (as my granddad used to say). I’ll be ready to work hard to gitter done and, with no experience of my own, will be expecting you guys and gals to bark orders at me.
Militant Conservative commented:
I have taken many classes in defensive firearms tactics. Carried for over a decade. Getting ready to become a deputy sheriff, (pro bono). All training and the rest is on my dime. Thus I have an inside tract to the police force. As did my in-laws. WE have met the enemy and they are us. Same tactics knowledge and firepower. Plus I have the added advantage of recently returned combat vets too. They are not too fond of the current admin. We are ready and able to defend the constitution and the real ideals of America. GOD is on our side and always has been. We the Mason’s protect the truth and the light that is America.
Militant Conservative commented:
I do not bark, all my fellow Americans are equals and very precious. We all have specific duties that we must perform as per our creator. This is what drives the Libs/socalists mad. How can a PLAIN person be of any worth?
Finncrisp commented:
Thank you to all who were able to be there. Millions of others were there in spirit and it is so gratifying that we are staying in the hunt and fighting the good fight. This outrage cannot move forward.
Palinfan commented:
Go Tea Partiers! Stand and fight! If they pass this monstrosity, we vote them all out and put in people who will repeal this madness.

Found this at American Thinker via Atlas Shrugs.
[begin quote from American Thinker]
Lurking within the recently-released Reconciliation bill is a brand new corps of government workers.
Page 911 of the 2010 Reconciliation PDF. Section 2231.
‘‘Subpart XII-Public Health Workforce
2 ‘‘SEC. 340L. PUBLIC HEALTH WORKFORCE CORPS.
3 ‘‘(a) ESTABLISHMENT.-There is established, within
4 the Service, the Public Health Workforce Corps (in this
5 subpart referred to as the ‘Corps’), for the purpose of en-
6 suring an adequate supply of public health professionals
7 throughout the Nation. The Corps shall consist of-
8 ‘‘(1) such officers of the Regular and Reserve
9 Corps of the Service as the Secretary may designate; ….”
It’s not Nationalized Health Care. It’s a Health Corps!
(snip)
It speaks of regular and reserve Officers, scholarships, loans, obligated service, individual contracts, training centers, the traditional income redistribution scheme of grants and grant proposals, etc. The debt repayment provisions are especially attractive to certain sectors of our population. It appears to be an indentured servitude gig. You sign up, do your part for nationalizing health care and the Corps will get the American taxpayer to foot the bill for your training and educational costs and retire your debts. [end quote]

Well, now I know where Pelosi plans to seat her skinny old butt when her term is over: in the chair of behind the desk of the top position of this corps, as an overseer (read: lunching with the other top dogs of the ruling elite when not busy reading NYT and her other favorite liberal rags). In the cushy, do-nothing positions that report directly to hers will be Reid, Ben Nelson and other Demonrats who blew off their constituents and any hopes of reelection when they helped drive the socialist health care bill.
I hate them all. And, yes, that’s hate speech.

What are you saying? You don’t want me there getting you shot? That’s okay. There’ll be plenty of places for me to raise hell; I’ll find my niche.

Lawrence O’Donnell [..] slammed the protests.
oh, isn’t he the “BRAVE” one..
[“It’s not our job to lie about war to make troops feel good. And I don’t care what they feel…. If John Kerry thinks this war is a mistake and if the United States of America elects him president, the troops are going to have to live with that…. I don’t care if they’re demoralized.” --Lawrence O’Donnell, “The McLaughlin Group”
[..]
“Oh, well, I’m afraid of what the — that’s where I’m really afraid. I would like to criticize Islam much more than I do publicly, but I’m afraid for my life if I do. Mormons are the nicest people in the world…. They’ll never take a shot at me. Those other people, I’m not going to say a word about them.”]
this is the caliber of “MEN” who running
US into the arms of a future Caliphate..

Plus, when they’re frustrated and talking smack about the lefturds, or even when they’re angry and talking mean talk, conservatives’ words don’t even compare in nastiness and cruelty to the hatred and viciousness that libtards spew daily about conservatives and anything they don’t like and anyone they disagree with.
The simple fact is that conservatives are a better bunch of people to be around.

“Public Health Workforce Corps”
Whoa, thanks AuntieMadder for posting this.
That’s a terminology that… oh dear. Public Health Workforce Corps. That’s a terminology I only know from old files and film footage. It’s a classic socialist terminilogy.
The Nazis, for example, had the NSKK, which was the National Socialist Motor Corps (“Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps”.) The Soviets had similar organisations.
Those fascists always come up with such things. And it’s all for the “greater good”.
This whole thing is taking the shape of certain youth organisations in certain regimes.
Let’s look at it. We have the government, under “The One”, taking over health insurance with a bill that allows the same government to snoop into the citizen’s files. We have “The One” talking about the greater good and his little Eva Braun, excuse me, Michelle O ranting about “making sacrifices”. Then we have this “Public Health Workforce Corps.” And finally we have kids singing hymns on “The One” displaying a leader cult taken to the extreme.
Okay my dear real Americans, counting all of this together… it makes all my sirens go off with red alert. This has happened before.
