Representative Alan Grayson - D-Fla. Says giving the GOP control of Congress again is like letting Al Qaeda terrorists pilot a plane.
I can't believe all in Florida are proud of this "always to be reelected good old boy". At the very least, with Alan, everyone know which side of the Obama's divided nation he is on. From a statement like this it is clear that Alan is unclear who we, "the bad guys" are and doesn't have a clue as to who he is denigrating and has no idea what the ramifications are for this kind of slander and hate mongering.
What kind of environment do we have in Washington that would give rise to or tolerate a congressman comparing Republicans to terrorists? What kind of environment do we have that allows congress to pass a Health Care Bill when a huge majority of citizens don't want them to do it? What kind of folks, in any state, would want Congressman Alan Grayson representing them?
I'm going to send Alan a note explaining who the people in the GOP and Tea Parties are. I'm sure he doesn't read notes from people like us. Maybe he likes poetry…Or maybe he thinks there are secret terrorist plots encoded in Tea Party poetry...
Anyway, Alan this is who we are….

Alan, we are the ones, along with the voters of Florida, who are going to fire you and others like you.
Since we are showing Alan the exit lets take a moment to thank Mary Rakovich, who on 2/10/2009, organized a meeting in Fort Myers, Florida, and that group began to morph into the Tea Party. (Not the only one but one of the early groups.)
Come November…Come November, come with us to the voting booth and fire Alan and all the others liberal "always to be reelected good old boys", like Alan.

Attitudes are Changing
We have copied the article below from the O'Leary Report which was originally reported on News Max in April. The article helps us better understand why we are seeing more conservative candidates doing well in many states. Certainly encouraging.
Tea Party Matches NRA in Number of Americans Who Support Their Views
It's official. The Tea Party movement is a substantial player on the political scene. According to a recent poll commissioned by The O'Leary Report and conducted by Zogby International, 34 percent of voters (45 million Americans) say the Tea Party endorsement is important to their vote this year, and 31 percent (41 million voters) say the same about the National Rifle Association. The Poll was conducted March 2-30 of 10,128 likely voters and has a margin-of-error of one percent.
Breaking down these numbers further, 16 percent of voters are fully committed to the Tea Party message and 18 percent support the message, but with some reservation.
Again, these numbers are strikingly similar to those of the NRA, whose membership has been extremely effective in exacting results at election time. Nearly 13 percent of all voters are completely committed to the NRA message, and 18 percent say they are committed most of the time.
It's important to stress that these 45 million Tea Party supporters are strictly registered voters, and that the movement can add even more to its power and influence by registering like-minded voters between now and November.
With power and influence of this magnitude come tough decisions. The decision confronting the Tea Party is whether to become a third party, a la Ross Perot, or become a powerful political force, much like the NRA, which has been able to wield significant influence on both sides of the aisle.
Though the Tea Party movement doesn't have NRA's sophisticated infrastructure, it can certainly borrow from NRA's techniques. For example, the Tea Party could conduct massive voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives, and possibly create an issues questionnaire for all political candidates to answer prior to Election Day.
To be sure, the Tea Party can be just as effective in Democratic circles as in Republican, as the Zogby poll shows it isn't just red-meat conservatives who gravitate toward the Tea Party movement. Among the nearly 38 million self-described Independent voters in America, 32 percent will be listening for the voice of the Tea Party before they cast their vote this year. Nearly 64 percent of the 31 million Republican voters will follow the Tea Party, and 11 percent of the roughly 52 million Democratic voters will do the same.
Moreover, in congressional districts deemed competitive by the Cook Political Report, which consists of roughly 34 million voters, 35 percent of them will be listening for the Tea Party endorsement this year.
The Tea Party's influence holds up well in key geographic regions as well.
Fully one-third (33 percent) of voters in the Pacific region (20 million voters in CA, AK, HI, OR, NV, WA) will be influenced by Tea Party endorsements. In the pivotal Midwest region (27 million voters in OH, MI, MN, WI, IN, IL) 31 percent of voters plan to listen to the Tea Party.
In the Southwest region (9 million voters in AZ, CO, NM, OK, UT) 32 percent of voters consider the Tea Party endorsement important to them, as do 34 percent of voters in the Mid-Atlantic region (27 million voters in DE, MD, VA, WV, NJ, NY, PA, and D.C.). In the South region (34 million voters in GA, KY, NC, SC, TN, AL, AR, LA, MS, FL, and TX) 36 percent of voters will look to the Tea Party this year, as will 35 percent of voters in the Central and North Plains region (8 million voters in ID, MT, WY, SD, IA, KS, MO, NE, ND).
On the issues, the Tea Partiers are very definitive and unwavering in the positions they take. For example, 90 percent of the Tea Party movement strongly disapproves of cap-and-trade global warming legislation, and 84 percent strongly disapprove. On taxes, 61 percent of Tea Party activists support state legislation to stop retroactive tax bills from being passed.
Nearly 75 percent agree that there should be an appeals process for individuals who have been placed on the federal no-fly list, in light of legislation making its way through congress that would prohibit persons on the list from purchasing a firearm. A 64 percent majority of Tea Partiers thing that only the FBI should be able to add names to the no-fly list, given the number of instances where people have been wrongly placed on the list.
Only 8 percent of Tea Party members think that the jobs bill being promoted by the Obama administration will help small businesses, and just 19 percent think the bill will help big and state businesses. However, 82 percent think the White House's jobs bill will help federal employees.
Roughly 89 percent of Tea Partiers believe that the Second Amendment applies to all levels of government – federal, state and local.
And what should be of utmost concern to incumbent congressmen up for re-election this year: 94 percent of the Tea Party movement agree that "the federal government has become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens" – and 82 percent strongly agree.
Democrats in Congress are afraid of the Tea Parties, alright. Though it's not for reasons of public safety, as their paranoid ramblings would have us all believe. It's because they know that these poll numbers are correct. Their diatribes about civil unrest are calculated tactics designed to delegitimize a movement that has significant ability to give legitimacy to its chosen candidates this November.
By Brad O'Leary
Thanks Brad for this article and all the other good work you have done.
Lots of folks in both parties would like to see the Teaers try and form a "third" party. This must be resisted. Same folks would like to see a "leader" emerge in the Tea Party for the same reason. This must be resisted. The Tea Party has high profile persons to voice it values and beliefs and that is enough. Ideals, beliefs, and values cross political party lines. There is more and more media talk about Tea Partiers taking over the Republican party. Nonsense, the Tea Party's goal is to take back the whole government. If the Republican party hadn't gone to sleep at the wheel there wouldn't be a Tea Party. If The Dems hadn't become a socialist party there wouldn't be a Tea Party and the liberal media just cannot get this. The country is in crisis because both of the parties have failed.
Clearly the first goal is to get back enough conservative votes in November to stop the liberal Dems onslaught. Second goal, in the next election cycle, is to dump more of the "always to be reelected good old boys." We can't clean our house/senate in one election cycle.

Mr. Charlie - Say
Good news of the day: Charles Djou, a Republican won in Hawaii. First Republican since 2001..Waive and say, "Hi Charles, welcome to the "new" club.
The Oxford Tea Party starts today article with a quiz. The next paragraph is a speech on immigration and the question is, "Who gave this speech and when?"
In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
The immigration issue is a difficult one and has been going on for a long time. It is so emotional for many you've got to wonder if any law or law enforcement could settle this problem in anyway that would leave everyone feeling that was the right thing to do.
For every illegal Mexican worker or their family members here you have an American of Mexican decent born and raised in this country. The problem looks like it should be simple. Just arrest the illegal ones and send them back home and leave our Americans citizens alone. The complications come in the fact that business, particularly farmers, need migrant labor as well as other business that need seasonal labor. Few in the agriculture labor group are American citizens of Mexican heritage. Fewer still is migrant labor from any other ethnic background in this work pool. This group has worked our fields and harvested our crops for generations. We have a temporary work permit for this group.
To avoid these guest worker problems many farmers simply choose to plant crops that don't have to be hand worked. For other crops all the work is done by a few men with larger tractors and combines. In one way that is great but what happens should we want strawberries, bell peppers, lettuce, pineapples, and all the other soft foods? Arizona is a good example because many of these farmers grow vegetables that require hand work. The immigrants pour across the border, work the crops, some go home and others stay. For the ones who stay, Arizona has to pick up the education for their children at about six thousand a pop, medical costs, as well as all the other social benefits. This group of workers along with the legal Arizona folks on some form of welfare are bankrupting the state.
Cause and effect is simple. Its fairly simple math. It’s the solution that is complex. Obama and his group are making the efforts of Arizona even more difficult by making the legal issue of the state's new immigration law a turf issue between the state and federal government. Also, just for the political partisanship of it, racial division, as if more was needed. What is obvious is if the Feds were doing their job, Arizona would not have had to adopt their current immigration law. Clearly the administration is not very interested in these border state issues or worse still, sees the issue only in political terms. Our President needs the Hispanic vote, long term, for him and the Dems.
We have always needed guest workers on a seasonal basis and even now when we have so many unemployed workers, who, just as an aside, are not willing to do this hard work. So long as our unemployed folks can continue on social programs, with monthly checks, without working, they are not going to work and why should they have to do hard work for their government financial support many would ask.
There are any number of solutions and partial solutions but government does not have the political will or interest to use them and that is and has been the name of this game and not just with the current congress.
We always like to listen to Charlie Daniels sing but until this article we have never heard him talk about himself or his beliefs.
CHARLIE DANIELS...."Speaking his mind!"
I don't know how everybody else feels about it, but to me I think Hispanic people in this country, legally or illegally, made a huge public relations mistake with their recent demonstrations.
I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United States of America , as it is a truly wonderful place.
But when the first thing you do when you set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out wrong and I don't care how many lala land left heads come out of the woodwork and start trying to give me sensitivity lessons.
I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't have any-thing against Mexicans! I have something against criminals and anybody who comes into this country illegally is a criminal and if you don't believe it try coming into America from a foreign country without a passport and see how far you get. What disturbs me about the demonstrations is that it's tanta-mount to saying, "I am going to come into your country even if it means breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it."
It's an "in your face" action and speaking just for me, I don't like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it wouldn't be happening.
Where are you, you bunch of lily livered, pantywaist, forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water out of the Potomac again? And even if you pass a bill on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and watered down that it won't mean anything anyway Besides, what good is another law going to do when you won't enforce the ones on the books now?
And what ever happened to the polls, guys? I thought you folks were the quintessential finger wetters. Well you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans want some thing done about this mess, and mess it is and getting bigger everyday.
This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed towards being a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what happened in France with it 22% Muslims immigrants can't happen here when the businesses who hire these people finally run out of jobs and a few million disillusioned Hispanics take to the streets?
If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators, knuckle under on this and refuse to do something meaningful it means that you care nothing for the kind of country your children and grand-children will inherit. But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you get re-elected. Shame on you.
One of the big problems in America today is that if you have the nerve to say anything derogatory about any group of people (except Christians) you are going to be screamed at by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything else they can think of to call you
Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm still rockin' and rollin' and when it comes to speaking the truth I fear not. And the truth is that the gutless, gonadless, milksop politicians are just about to sell out the United States of America because they don't have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality. And reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and turn around and say, "Oh it's ok, ya'll can stay here if you'll just allow us to slap your wrist."
And I know that some of you who read this column are saying "Well what's wrong with that?" I'll tell you what's wrong with it. These people could be from Mars as far as we know. We don't know who they are, where they are or what they're up to and the way the Congress is going we're not going to.
Does this make sense? Labor force you say? We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor as well? If these people were from Haiti would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan ? I think not.
All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life. They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did. They don't tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegal some fat cat hired to pick his crop.
I want to make two predictions.
No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre.
No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue.
I don't know about you but I would love to see just one major politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad and I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out."
I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America , but if you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others? And by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes Please get that other one out of my face.
God Bless America - Charlie Daniels
Thanks Charlie…
The answer to "Who made the speech" question at the top of this article:
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
Another singer/entertainer we like is Ray Stevens and he has a new song on his web site concerning immigration. It is nice to have a good laugh over a serious problem. Give Ray a click….

And reality is that we would never allow any other group of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and turn around and say, "Oh it's ok, ya'll can stay here if you'll just allow us to slap your wrist."
And I know that some of you who read this column are saying "Well what's wrong with that?" I'll tell you what's wrong with it. These people could be from Mars as far as we know. We don't know who they are, where they are or what they're up to and the way the Congress is going we're not going to.
Does this make sense? Labor force you say? We already subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize their labor as well? If these people were from Haiti would we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from Somalia or Afghanistan ? I think not.
All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics who have crossed the border just to try to better their life. They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across the same way the decent folks did. They don't tell you about the living conditions of the Mexican illegal some fat cat hired to pick his crop.
I want to make two predictions.
No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of political hay they can make to the acre.
No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American city after which there will be a backlash such as this country has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the other side of the issue.
I don't know about you but I would love to see just one major politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad and I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out."
I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America , but if you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect any others? And by the way, this is America and our flag has stars and stripes Please get that other one out of my face.
God Bless America - Charlie Daniels
Thanks Charlie…
The answer to "Who made the speech" question at the top of this article:
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
Another singer/entertainer we like is Ray Stevens and he has a new song on his web site concerning immigration. It is nice to have a good laugh over a serious problem. Give Ray a click….

A Trend in the Making?
Everyone wave and say, "Hi Rand Paul, welcome!" I think what Dr. Paul said about our President and his policies was really important to hear. It seems the folks in Kentucky thought so too.
Today, N.Y. Times and Washington Post both ran articles saying Rand Paul was a racist… Who would have thought they would ever do such a thing?
Everyone wave and say, "By, to one of the "always to be reelected good old boy" Arlen Specter. Enough said….
So far Arlen Specter and Bob Bennett have been sent out to pasture.
Some how the liberal media is blaming the results of both of these elections and dismissals on the Tea Party.
Could it be so? Or could it be that the average American voters in these two elections (Dems or Republicans) simply thought about their representatives, their values, their voting record, beliefs, and what these representatives are doing to the country? Could this be a trend? If so, the liberal old guard in both parties may be in real trouble and, bite my lip, the real power could start slipping back into the hands of the "people".
What we don't want to happen is for us Teaers to start believing it's a down hill run from here to November. These two elections will lead to new and better financed campaigns by the "always to be reelected good old boys" as the primaries roll through and the real campaigns begin.. Know for sure this group will never give up their power. It will have to be taken. This is a war. This war is more dangerous to the country's future than from all the world wide terrorist originations, collapsed financial systems, or failing socialist economies on the other side of the pond.
We have always like Gingrich and below are some of his thoughts.
Stopping Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine
Newt Gingrich
In the 20th Century, America fought and defeated Nazism, Fascism, Imperialism and Communism -- four existential threats to our survival.
In this century, America is facing two different kinds of threats, though no less grave. This time, the threat does not come from nation-state superpowers, but from non-state networks, each pursuing an agenda based upon radical ideologies. The first motivates non-state terrorist networks to kill Americans both here and abroad. But even more disturbing than the threats from foreign terrorists is a second threat that is right here at home. It is an ideology so fundamentally at odds with historic American values that it threatens to undo the cultural ethics that have made our country great. I call it "secular-socialism."
The Left has thoroughly infiltrated nearly every cultural commanding height of our civilization. That is, they hold power, influence and control of academia, the elite news media, Hollywood, union leaders, trial lawyers, the courts, the Congress, and the bureaucracy at all levels of government. They are radically redefining our very culture by deciding what is news, what is entertainment, what our children learn in school, and what kind of government we should have.
They share a vision of a secular, socialist America run for the interests of the members of the political machine that keeps them in power, where government dominates the people instead of representing them. In short, this ruthless "secular-socialist machine" wants to use government power to change who we are and how we think.
After the Republicans lost their way and failed to govern, the Left took their opportunity to remake America. Barack Obama is the most radical President in American history. His administration combines the radicalism of Saul Alinsky, the corruption of Springfield, and the machine politics of Chicago. If they succeed in completing their agenda while in power, America will face becoming a European-style, high-tax, big-bureaucracy, low-economic-growth state.
The question before us is simple. Will we be able To Save America before it is too late?
Newt
Our response to the question, "Well yes, maybe." Forty percent plus of voters pay no tax…. Which means any number of things but from their voting point of view they receive financial support from Federal and State governments. This is a strong incentive for this group to vote for the most liberal candidates. This is a huge voting block that conservatives are not likely to get and is very hard to over come.
The real campaigns are not under way yet. The insiders bet is the Tea Party has peaked and will loose momentum through the summer. Each Tea Partier will make their own commitment to this cause during the coming months. Currently the Tea Party seems to be having influence but it does not have the numbers. Voting numbers. For the numbers to get to a decisive size each Tea member need to bring (influence) twenty or more votes. That will take a massive effort by each person.
Can we do this?... YES….Will we do it?
Come November… Come November, come with us to the voting booth and bring twenty friends….
