Face-Off at Missouri State Capitol- MoveOn Forced to Move Over
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, February 26, 2011, 1:57 PM
Missouri tea party patriots are holding a joint rally today at the state capitol building in Jefferson City to counter the coordinated union-leftist attack on Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
Obama’s MoveOn cronies forgot to reserve the capitol grounds and were forced to hold their rally across the street. I’ll be posting photos of their rally but it’s kinda hard to see them from where we are near the steps of the state capitol.
There were 450-600 tea party patriots out today. It looked like MoveOn.org managed to coax a couple hundred supporters out to support public union employees who make twice as much as the private sector.
I was one of the tea party speakers today. The tea party held their protest in front of the capitol. The MoveOn.org crowd were in back of the capitol and across the street.
St. Louis tea party co-founder Bill Hennessey revved up the crowd.
Related… Blue Collar Philosophy has photos from the LA protest today.

This is what starts riots. Anarchist, radicals Commies and the like who want as much chaos as they can make would not care that they did not get permission from the “man” to stand where ever the hell they want, when there goal is to destroy the man. If the man make them move a Molotov cocktail can go as far as they can toss it.

You know, these so-called “community organizers” really aren’t very good at what they do if they don’t know or follow the rules, such as getting proper permits and making reservations in advance. All the more reason to doubt the wisdom of putting a “community organizer” in the White House.
Conservative5 commented:
Fantastic that you moved the liberals across the street! Non-Critical thinkers never develop a workable and successful plan.
retire05 commented:
Ginger, Barry’s first poem is about his maternal grandfather, who he called “Pops.”
Reads like a person who didn’t have much use for his grandfather. Perhaps that is why he went seeking his Marxist father, he needed some male in his life to look up to. And whiskey swilling Pops just didn’t seem to fit that bill.

Chkn fingers… How are you? When are you going to cross over to the right side of life and really become productive? Chkn I don’t call it bullying…I call it defending my way of life as I have known it for many many years before the fraud came along and decides he wants to rule and dictate how I live! I do not and will not ever wear a burka nor will I ever let a male tell me how I am going to live my life and if I don’t obey he will have me stoned! HELL NO!!!!
Help us to fight to keep our FREEDOMS.

Ginger,
Sometimes they’re simply too far gone. Liberalism, unchecked, does that to some of them. Crossing over to the right is unthinkable.
Btw, chickenlips, you have a lot of nerve braying about personal attacks. You were the one that accused our host of being a pedophile. It doesn’t get any more personal than that.

AlaskaHome1959 commented:
And what was their response when they were told they needed a permit? Probably something along the lines of, “Permit? We’re caring, compassionate liberals, you worthless tea-bagging nazi’s. We don’t need no stinkin’ permit!!”
AlaskaHome1959 commented:
Oops. I unfairly (and inadvertently) omitted part of their ‘response’. Lest anyone should accuse me of being dishonest, allow me to correct myself. It should have read, “Permit? We’re caring, compassionate, *law abiding liberals*, you worthless tea-bagging nazi’s. We don’t need no stinkin’ permit, *no matter what the law says*!!”

Yup, they had announced earlier this week they were going to do this. Several other towns across the country are too. One of the provisions many teachers unions have demanded in their contracts is that individual teachers have to be notified by March 1 if they are not going to be rehired for the coming year or are going to be laid off. With the budget instabilities going on some districts are choosing to simply lay off everybody Just In Case.

#libby73 -
We are NOT broke because of tax cuts given to millionaires. We are BROKE because of the interest on a deficit that is bigger than all the rest of the deficits that we have ever run in the entire history of our nation combined – including the cost of the Revolution, both sides of the Civil War and a good 80% of the entire cost of the world-wide opposition to the Axis powers during WWII.
And we are not just “broke” – we are on the verge of literal bankruptcy. There IS NO MORE MONEY. Not to beg, not to borrow and not to steal.

Libby, libby, libby…You just had to go there, didn’t you? Okay, then, you asked for it.
What the hell is going on with the first sentence of your posted comment? The first letter of a sentence as well as the first letter of a proper name should be capitalized, so “ross” should be “Ross.” The rest of it is two sentences; the commas don’t cut it because they’re two completely different statements. And, no, a semi-colon wouldn’t have cut it, either.
Now, what the hell is going on with the entire paragraph? You’ve got at least two paragraphs of statements crammed into that one. Worse, you vacillate back and forth between statements regarding Ross’ intelligence and state of mind and statements regarding the use and value of writing skills.
“Again, showing your lack of intelligence.” Pot, meet kettle.

WTF? Very bizarre! He’s probably either going to clamp down only on America, or somehow actually pursue the dreaded Bush Doctrine. Lybia could even take it as a declaration of War.
At the least, since despots and criminals are his kind of people, Obama must think he should out-daffy Khadaffy if he wants to establish and maintain his credibility among Totalitarian nut cases.

“Canada, U.S. agree to use each other’s troops in civil emergencies
By Ottawa Citizen ^ | February 22, 2008
Posted on 02/23/2011 5:19:41 AM PST by DeaconBenjamin
Canada and the U.S. signed an agreement that paves the way for either nation to send troops across each other’s borders during an emergency. Some question why the Harper government has kept silent on the deal.
Neither the Canadian government nor the Canadian Forces announced the new agreement, signed Feb. 14 in Texas.
The U.S. Northern Command publicized the agreement outlining how its top officer, Gen. Gene Renuart, and Canadian Lt.-Gen. Marc Dumais, head of Canada Command, signed the plan, which allows the military from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a civil emergency.
The new agreement has been greeted with suspicion by the left wing in Canada and the right wing in the U.S. “

Total lie. The deficits are a result of government spending, not because of a drop in revenues. From 2004 to 2007, federal tax revenues increased by $785 billion, the largest four-year increase in American history. Congress then began spending like crazy, due to the increase in revenues, and Bush let it happen.
Your stupid “tax cuts given to millionaires” slogan just shows how ignorant you are.

Hey libby lets see if you can comprehend this. Lets take General Motors. the unions fought for and won ( on threat of completely shutting the co down ) a retirement package that allowed their rank and file to retire after 30 years at close to full pay and benefits. with the longer life span of humans they now have MORE people retired than working, but they still have to produce a product. How does the company meet its obligations? Can you answer that with correct spelling and punctuation. Just take a stab at it we are waiting!
jainphx commented:
Libby! Heres another little test for you. Teachers unions. Do they fight for the children? How much does a union head make a year? How do you go about replacing a union teacher that can’t teach? Do you continue to allow political donations of union dues money with out the permission of the rank and file. Why are teachers allowed to teach their political bent that may not be the same as yours. Why do we allow teachers to teach sex education that is completely in the realm of parenting? Please Libby feel free to speak up I really need answers.

tommy mc donnell commented:
dear libby nobody goes broke from a tax cut. we are broke because we have to pay fifty percent of our income to the politicans. the liberal politicans sunk the economy by socializing the mortgage industry which caused a financial collapse when the housing bubble burst. now there are not enough jobs for people to be able to work two jobs, one to pay their own bills and one to pay taxes. the same liberal politicans who spent it all and borrow more money and then spent that. the rich pay a higher percentage of the taxes every year than the percentage of the income that they make each year. if anything they are overtaxed.
Victoria Hess commented:
The real news, not the left news, but the real news buts the numbers at 300 for unions and 200 for the sheep on here. With all the crack being talked around me, I was relieved to see that we out turned you, because you see, we haven’t even started the e-mail changes and web sites you all should have perfected by now. Can’t tell you how many hard working, decent folks. You know the ones working in your quick shops, and resturants, that never have been unionized, and have not got the benefits of unions, that your high paying jobs have given you, most of them didn’t know about it time and alot of them could not get off work. By the way, the prison system here decertifed it’s union 7 years ago, not many of our “public” employees in this state still have unions, they are still benefiting from the days of unions past. Wonder how many of them will open there eyes and join us for the next rally??? Just one more question, do you guys prefer the lies or are you just too lazy to look for the truth?
Victoria Hess commented:
I used to work in public service, with a union, and the only obstical to getting a union worker fired is the laziness of his supervisors. The ONLY thing a union protects is our right to be fired “without cause”. If you want to go back to the days when you had to kiss the bosses a## or be fired you can, me personally I want the top 2% to work as hard as they want us too. The free ride of the wealthy on the lower and middle class started today!

The WEA (Wisconsin Education Association Council) union has something of a monopoly on the medical coverage from WI school districts as part of collective bargaining. Through the WEA, school districts are paying a premium price for employees’ and their families’ health insurance apparently at a profit for the WEA and at the expense of WI taxpayers. (Average monthly premium for singles and families is $134 and $199 MORE respectively than non-WEA districts).

JohnT commented:
#36. Actually, the violence at “Chicago 1968″ was caused by FBI agent provocateurs. Look up “Operation Cointelpro.”
Capitalism can only survive, and indeed thrive, if it is set upon the humane foundation of liberalism. Liberalism saved both capitalism and democracy in the 1930′s. It upset the industrialists of the time so greatly that they attempted to enlist General Smedley Butler to form a coup de tat to overthrow the FDR administration.
We as a nation are broke because corporations do not pay their fair share of taxes. For example, in 2009 Exxon/Mobil record $45 billion in profits. Not only did they not pay taxes, they received a $156 million refund.
Another reason we are broke is that we spend $1 trillion a year on the military/industrial complex (a term coined by Republican President Eisenhower.) This averages out to around $ 0.51 per every dollar of federal taxes collected. If I had to spend 51% of my income on security, I would certainly rethink the way I treated my neighbors.
President Reagan borrowed more money than every other president before him combined. President George W. Bush borrowed double that amount. At first glance it appears that the deficit ballooned under President Obama. However, one of the first acts President Obama performed was to put the money for the wars on the annual budget, or on the books, so to speak, not hide it in supplemental requests as did President G.W. Bush.
President Obama is not a socialist, communist, or liberal. He is a corporate centrist. I am a proud liberal and democratic socialist. I am also a decorated veteran. I love my country and indeed gave the best years of my life to her. We as Americans have every right to be angry. We just need to make sure our anger is pointed in the right direction.
