“I think the government has the right to know what guns are in the homes ….” [More]Sorry, Mr. Farah. You're premature endorsing this Constitutionally-illiterate nitwit. She's not ready for prime time. She's not even ready to run for dogcatcher with this flawed level of understanding.
Yo, Tea-Partiers: It's the Constitution.
Stop being Ross Perot-backers--we get that you're disgruntled. We are too. If you think you're going to do it without us, prepare for disappointment.
If you're going to let the RINOs and fascists hijack your efforts, who needs you?

Angela McGlowan is a bubble-brained idiot at best.
ReplyDeleteShe fails at logic, she fails at history, she fails at reason, and she has a dangerously-inflated ego.
She has no place in government at any level, and I am ashamed to be even tenatively associated with her in that we have both participated in Tea Party events.
What an idiot. I got one for you sweetheart. You want the govt. to know what guns I got, YOU come and find out. This is why the Tea Party movement is useless, although they have good motivation. It's like MV said. The bloated, faithless Repub. clowns who sold us into this current shitstorm, are huffing and puffing to run fast enough around the crowd(that they didn't gather) and trying pathetically to get back in front of the parade.

ReplyDeleteJust got this email tonight:
ReplyDeleteMcGlowan Statement on the 2nd Amendment Tupelo, MS – Conservative Republican candidate for Congress Angela McGlowan, an Oxford native, author and former Fox News Political Analyst, today issued the following statement with regard to her uncompromising support of the 2nd Amendment and her unequivocal opposition to the Blair-Holt amendment, or any attempt by government, to infringe on the right of law abiding Mississippians to keep and bear arms guaranteed by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution.“I'm a conservative, pro-life, pro-gun, anti tax-and-spend Mississippi Republican who is deeply committed to the 2nd Amendment and unequivocally opposed to any government attempt to infringe on the right of law abiding Mississippians to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution.“Though, I am human and do make mistakes. Last year, as a Fox News political analyst, I participated in Paul Gallo’s radio show and, after admitting that I didn’t have a clue as to what the Blair-Holt Amendment was, made the mistake of talking about a piece of legislation that I knew nothing about, compounded that honest mistake by playing ‘devil’s advocate’, which is how political analysts are trained to provoke debate, and failed to circle back with the audience to make clear my personal, unequivocal support for the gun rights of law abiding Mississippians. And, for these mistakes I am truly sorry.“My commitment to the 2nd Amendment is personal. My dad taught me to handle a gun as youngster, at age 20 I carried a ’38 as a licensed bail bondsman working my way through Ole Miss, and I’ve been a victim of violent crime. Since last year, I’ve ‘hung up my cleats’ as a Fox News political analyst, received quite an education on the Blair-Holt Act from Paul Gallo and Mississippians, I can assure the people of Mississippi that, as God is my witness, I strongly oppose the Blair-Holt Act and will fight harder than any human being alive to protect law-abiding Mississippians Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. “Regrettably, rather than joining me in holding Barack Obama accountable for his liberal tax and spend policies that hurt Mississippians every day, my primary opponent, 16-year incumbent politician State Senator Alan Nunnelee, has chosen to use this honest mistake to try to hide the fact that he’s broken his ‘No Tax Increase Pledge’ and voted for higher gas taxes, higher tobacco taxes and higher taxes on the sick who are in need of hospital beds.“Senator Nunnelee’s diversionary attacks not withstanding, I will press on with my fight for Mississippians and against incumbent politicians, like Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose liberal tax and spend policies kill the jobs we have and destroy the hope of attracting new jobs for the future.”

Nice obfuscation, Amanda.
ReplyDeleteSo the Tea Party had a small convention, or at least one faction did and it finally made the lamestream news stations. I don't think the establishment is taking us for granted anymore. I even see the GOP trying to take us over.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin was the keynote speaker on saturday. I wasn't there so I only got some reports on what she said. I'm sure it was that the tea party members wanted to hear. She is now on the primary campaign trail supporting John McCain in Arizona and Governor Rick Perry in Texas for their re-election bids. You got to love these politicians. Give them a little time and they will slip up. This is why ALL politicians need to be watched like hawks.
John McCain was the last election loser that was so thoroughly rejected by the american conservative electorate for being a left lite RINO. His McCain-Fiengold act outrage was just correctly overturned by the US Supreme Court. Rick Perry tried one of the biggest land grabs in Texas history with the Trans-Texas Corridor project. That would be the huge toll road to be built and operated by a foreign company until the outraged electorate changed his mind. This politician is really quite good and flopping with the political winds.
Some called for the Tea Party movement to form a PAC to support the GOP in electing conservative politicians. Why would we limit ourselves to the GOP? Isn't that what got us here in the first place, blind trust in the GOP? As we proved in the recent election of Scott Brown we can get anyone elected, even in the deep liberal yankee north. If we form a PAC we should support ALL candidates regardless of political affiliation. I for one refuse to be the lapdog of any political party, even the Constitution Party, of which I am an active dues paying member. We should support and vett ALL candidates that meet our beliefs, goals and objectives. Nothing would bring GOP politicians to heel like knowing that we would go outside the GOP to replace them as needed.
The other option is to form our own political party. As long as we can and WILL enforce party discipline I have no real problem with that either. The best way to ensure the politicians toe our line is to have them in our party where we can throw them out if they betray us like so many Republicans have. It would be a requirement to obey our platform or be kicked out of our party and caucus.
I know, I know many have said its to hard to start a party and that it would split the GOP ensuring a democrat win. I say hogwash. It would be a repeat of the history that the GOP would hate to see repeated, as it's their history. In 1854 the republican party was formed by dissatisfied members of the mainstream Whig party. In 1860 the republicans elected their first leader to the presidency, Abraham Lincoln. This was without the benefit of TV, Radio, air travel for campaigning, and Al Gore had yet to invent the internet. The mass means were the telegraph, newspapers, and the iron horse of the rail road. Lincoln didn't even campaign and he wasn't on the ballot in the south. Don't say it can't be done and done quickly.
We need to stop being polite too. Stop letting the GOP take ALL the blame for this depression. It was barney frank and chris dodd that blocked even the lame GOP attempts to reform fannie mae and freddie mac. They swore on a stack of bibles that all was fine and rosey with those institutions that had them in their pockets.
The local Tea Parties need to resist any attempts at a GOP takeover. We need to find local politicians that we can vett and send to the other Tea Parties to help with support. We need to make an example of those who misuse this trust.

T-P rose on rejection of statist ambitions of the Ds and the Rs. Opportunists of all stripes are and will continue to try to swindle the good will of T-P participants for their own ends. Third party status for T-P is out of the question. On election day Ds and Rs crowd the ballots. So, my indie friends, where do you go? In the 80s and 90s the so-called Christian right seized local gop organizations and retain influence to this day. In my area we have begun to put T-P followers in gop precinct positions. The precincts set the county orgs goals and decide what candidates are properly wearing the brand label. At state level the platforms are built and at national the state delegations build the total package. It will not happen overnight, but our best shot at turning this bus around is to take control of gop. Sure the big money, statist bastards will take their toys and go away and that's exactly what we want. A hard spined party with the balls to stand the course is the goal. Time to kill the Bob Dole mantra;' Platforms? We don't read those things.' Time to take the wheel, time to weed out opportunist idiots like this McGlowan and the rest. Carry on.
