Tea Party Update: Party on DC, Sites Tracking More Tea Parties, and Obama Didn?t Know?

By Phil

On September 12, 2009, FreedomWorks is sponsoring the National Taxpayer Protest in Washington, D.C. It’s likely that more and more sites are going to take the historically positive results of the tea party phenomenon and run with it.

Columnist Joan Swirsky has recently written a post wondering how in the world Mr. Obama seemingly did not know about the April 15 tea parties (excerpted):

An amazing thing happened on Wednesday, April 15th, Tax Day, when nearly a million people took hours off from their workdays ? many sacrificing pay cuts and even the threat of being fired ? to attend thousands of Tea Parties across America. What motivated this huge number of Republicans, Conservatives, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, and even apolitical people to come out in mid-week with placards aplenty and passion unprecedented? It was to tell President Obama that they rejected and resented just about everything he and his radical-left Congress have foisted on our nation during his 90-plus days in office. These include:

• A frontal assault on free-market capitalism
• Zero transparency and accountability for the billions already doled out ? where has it gone?
• Rising unemployment
• Trillions of dollars of debt for us and our children and grandchildren
• Infringement of freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including free speech, gun ownership, freedom of religion, et al.
• Obsequious overtures to the world?s biggest despots, all of them America?s sworn enemies.
• Passage of H.R. 1388, or the ?domestic security force? that eerily mimics Hitler?s brown shirts, or, as Obama stated: ?We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we?ve set. We?ve got to have a civilian security force that?s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.?
• Aggressive moves to nationalize the press, resurrect the ?Fairness Doctrine,? and give the president the legal authority to shut down the Internet in the ?interest of national security.?
• A cap-and-trade tax that will effectively kill commerce
• Full-speed-ahead on destroying the coal industry
• Ceding the resolution of legal issues to the cesspool-of-corruption known as the United Nations and transnational courts
• Steps to obliterate the ?conscience clause? that allows doctors, nurses and pharmacists the right not to participate in the infanticide procedure known as abortion
• Unforgiveable insults to our military by calling them potential ?domestic terrorists.? Other ?terrorists? listed in the Department of Homeland Security report were anyone opposed to abortion, anyone in favor of immigration enforcement, pro-Second-Amendment lobbies, and anyone protesting big government.
• A vile insult to Catholics when the White House insisted on having Christ?s name covered by black plywood when the president spoke at Georgetown U. ? why was he invited?
• A despicable insult to Jews when career anti-Semite Charles Freeman ? President of the MEPC Arab lobby and a board member of the American Iranian Council ? was appointed head of the National Intelligence Council, but ultimately stepped down, confirming in his own words his animus toward Israel.
• Declaring carbon dioxide an environmental pollutant? another scheme to impose draconian and business-murdering taxes on Americans, while at the same time refusing to drill for oil and build nuclear facilities, all in the name of the colossal hoax known as man-made global warming. Let?s hear it for windmills!
• The coming manipulation of the U.S. census by community-organizers from ACORN ? under investigation in more than 12 states for voter-registration fraud ? which received $5-billion of tax-payer?s money in Obama?s ?stimulus? package
• An utter failure to intercede in a timely fashion to save Captain Richard Phillips from the Muslim Somali terrorists in the Maersk Alabama incident …
