Phineas –

I don’t think you could get that many Birchers out of their basement bunkers long enough for a march. And certainly not all at once.

I must say that I am amazed at the dive into irrelevance at LGF. It’s as though Charles could only do one thing well — report on the jihadis — which was great. But evidently now he thinks he’s some sort of —- urm — pundit, and seems to find Glenn Beck more dangerous than President Blabbermouth.

If he keeps this up, in a few months he will be blogging for himself only.

Sad.

@Phineas

It’s guilt-by-association 24/7 there, except with Obama. Anyone else with those kind of connections would be labelled a nutbag. In his world, everyone has to actively repudiate the unsavory folks in their circle, except this White House.

Great turnout. I arrived at Freedom Plaza around 9:30 and the place was well stocked. We started marching at 10 towards the Capitol but it was hard to tell just how big the crowd was while amidst it. I got to the West Lawn which was covered with folks and their signs, and turning to look up Pennsylvania avenue, I was heartened to see a stream of marchers still flowing. I don’t know what a million people look like, and I would be surprised if it was anywhere near that, but we can leave that to others to argue. I thought it was an impressive turnout…..I wonder how the WAPO will cover it…
front page or Metro section?

I would suggest that all of us that cannot be at the march take a few minutes to e-mail Senators or Reps so that the march will go on well into next week.

I’ve been virtually attending the rally by emailing this to my so called “representatives” (all D-WA.)

I’d be at the Tea Party rally in D.C. if I could, but I’ll have to do it virtually; here are some good signs that have been spotted there though:
Congress are you foolish enough to bet against our vote in 2010?
If you’re not outraged you’re not paying taxes.
Obamanomics – our dollars, no sense, trickle up poverty.
2009 Intolerable Acts – Cap & Trade, Bailouts, Obamacare.
The answer to our woes is tort reform, term limits, small government, less taxation and free markets.
I’ll be doing my best to see that no incumbents are reelected in the next four years.

Correct – D.C. police put the crowd at 1.2 million. ABC news did put the crowd at 2 million. Watch them back off because-

Both estimates makes this bigger than King’s “dream speach” and Farrakhan’s “400,000 million man march” and Obama’s inauguation. So look for a big cover up and distortion.

In fact this is the largest political demonstration in U.S. history.

I have friends in D.C. and they confirm that D.C. can’t even take in any more people.

We’ll have 10 million next year.

Sep 12, 2009 - 2:06 pm 60. David W. Lincoln:

I’m curious, if someone outside the United States started musing about recognizing a government-in-exile for the United States, namely something that would meet the approval of those who showed up at Tea Parties; other than the usual suspects huffing and puffing about how intolerable it is to interfere with the inner workings of a country, what else should be expected?

Because, it is one thing to march and communicate alternatives, it is something else
to implement them as government policy. I raise this because I have my doubts about the Repubs in enacting what the Tea Party folk say
needs to be enacted into law.

Sep 12, 2009 - 2:08 pm 61. MarkJ:

As many as 2 million? Wow, this is more than fantastic–it’s friggin’ HISTORY.

Soooooo….did anybody see any giant paper-mache puppets in the crowd? As EVERYBODY knows, a protest just isn’t a protest unless there are giant paper-mache puppets.

Finally, one modest suggestion for next year’s protest:

Conservative Dykes on Bikes.

If that ain’t “diversity,” I don’t know what is.

C’mon, Calvin….Johnson doesn’t consider it a real protest unless there are giant dancing puppets. (Kinda like his amen chorus at LGF.)

Sep 12, 2009 - 2:14 pm 64. David W. Lincoln:

To continue my point, to those whose sympathies are with those who show up at Tea Parties: Are you sure that you can wait until January, 2011 to undo what Agent Zero and his zombies would have laid waste to?

I’m on the Canadian side of the Canada/U.S. border, and frankly the people who show up for Tea Parties are the best friends any country could have.

Lili

I had both CNN’s and Fox’s live feeds on my ‘puter and I did spot one or two Joker Obama signs (no “Hitler” signs) but by and large most signs had nothing to do with Obama in the singular. Most were anti-spending, anti-statist sentiments… majority hand-lettered. Lots of American and Gadsden flags, too.

Sep 12, 2009 - 2:49 pm 79. Peg C.:

WE WERE THERE. Just got back to the hotel after hitting the microbrewery for lunch and hidration after the march and rally. First, the ONLY Obama as Hitler signs I saw were at what appeared to be the LaRouchies headquarters. Those nutjobs are NOT with us. Also, there were a number of Ron Paul folks. Also not part of the huge majority of us. There were fantastic signs, many anti-Obama but many anti-Congress (not just Reid/Pelosi/Frank but ALL of Congress).

There will be many lies about the march and rallies. Not sure how many people but seemed like a million or more. I’ve seen the pics from above. There were 100 porta-potties, not NEARLY enough. Tough to see and hear speakers unless you were close enough to the Capitol building to be in the claustrophobic crush, but it was still fun, lively, very patriotic, very upbeat. All ages, all states as far as I could tell.

It was a great day and we are looking forward to doing it again, bigger but better next year! My family is already revising some strategies. One great idea (either of Freedom Works or Tea Party Patriots – I think the latter) was devoting a big room at the Hyatt Regency all yesterday and last evening to sign-making – tons of fun, inspiring, and full of camraderie. Hundreds participated in that.

Most Washingtonians have been tolerant to amused to very polite and even interested. Only 1 person (an elderly woman) got called a “fascist” that I know of – by a man going by in a cab. Does he even have a clue? Of course not.

It’s really been an extraordinary day, and for some of us a great 3 days starting with the FreedomWorks Liberty caucus at the Armory Thursday. Pics with Jim DeMint – does it get any better!

I have no idea, and since I considered Nodrog something of a pest, bordering on a troll, I never bothered to check.

He galumphed his way over to GoV for a while, and essentially received the same treatment there that he’d gotten when he infested LGF.

Whatever OTHER differences they may have had, it seems that both Lizardoids and GoVers fully agreed that Nodrog was ,at best, a schmuck.

I think it’s great that so many people from so many walks of life and POVs have shown up. Amazing!

Can’t deny there are kooks in attendance, but I think the normal, concerned people outnumber them.

I’m not thrilled at the growing influence of Ron Paul, though. He’s a truther and so are many of his supporters. So, the huge cheer for him gives me indigestion.

Charles Johnson is not irrelevant at all. He just has a specific focus that he’s chosen and it goes against a lot of people’s grain. I disagree with him quite a bit, and I think his current rhetoric has been pretty unproductive and somewhat hateful, but I can’t deny that he’s spotlighting some real danger points in the GOP. Intelligent Design, “nirtherism” and Ron Paul’s version of trutherism are not a way toward the future for the party. Once those elements are present there is no way your going to get anyone to listen to the fiscal conservative pitch.

That said, maybe we can stop talking about him and instead talk about the amazing turnout of Americans who are demanding their voices be heard. It’s a pretty exciting day all-in-all. I’m looking forward to seeing more footage as protestors get home to their computers.

I’m not thrilled either, but I’m not surprised. When the most extreme elements on the left are running both the congress and the executive, that will cause a reaction. There’s a reason why Stormfront endorsed Obama. Things are going quite well for them these days.

As you say, they’re still a drop in the bucket compared to the normal people who showed up. But that doesn’t stop certain fanatics and opportunists from painting this as a Klan convention. You want to see extremists? Let’s shine some sunlight on Obama’s czars. There are probably more czars in the whitehouse than Birchers at the protest.

Here it is, folks, in black and white: Obie doesn’t give a flying f*** about you, your likes or dislikes, or your political wishes. The Won and his accomplices are flat-out going to ignore you and do whatever they damned well please. If you don’t like it, as far as they’re concerned that’s just too bad for you. However, down that path at the end is bloody civil war. To be perfectly honest, I’m not at all certain they don’t want that.

The only hope this country has is if the Congress is not as suicidal as Obie. If the Dem majority sticks with Obie and tells the protesters to eff off as well by ramming this bill through, well, that’s why the Founders put the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution.

the idiot at LGF had one post showing pictures that he found radical. His whole post was about depicting the whole march as made up by radicals.

I have never understood those that call themselves Conservatives, like LGF, who give so much ammunition for the Liberals to use against Conservatives.

What I have read there lately sounds more like the rants of Liberal nutjobs than that of a Conservatives and as I said, I am a moderate Conservative who knows that Pat Buchanan is as much of a nut job as Ron Paul. Michael Savage is also a rightwing radical and Glen Beck is well, Glen Beck.

Intelligent Design is a lie and the movement’s attempts to break into the science classroom are not innocuous. They are distributing false information and too many people in positions of power are buying into it. I agree with LGF that the GOP is not at all served by its leadership embracing this movement. In fact, it’s one of the worst things they could be doing.

But I totally agree with you that the tone of the disagreement from LGF is completely unproductive. One of the things that seems to upset Johnson so much (understandably, in my opinion) is the false information presented in a scientific manner. People are being skillfully tricked. Who are they going to listen to, though? The guy who ridicules them venomously or the guy who smiles in their faces? Guy #2 is my guess.

Mongoose is doing too much meth. He talks a big game but on election day it’s the numbers that matter. Here are the demographic facts. In 2012 it is estimated the white population will be around 60% and the minority population around 40% (probably more). In many large states the white population is already the minority or hovering at around 50%. The Democrats will easily get upwards of 85% of the minority vote as they have been for quite some time. This isn’t anything new. The GOP will not get the well upwards of (60% to 70%) the white vote needed to overcome that statistical imbalance. So unless they have a real plan on cutting into the minority vote, and by that I mean ’specific’ legislative proposals that would attract them to the GOP as supportive voters, it’s hard to see how they make up the difference. The only other thing the conservatives can do is increase their numbers and that isn’t happening (by that I mean reproducing).

The GOP hasn’t learned that in our demographically shifting nation you can no longer win elections with old white conservatives any more. Why? They’re dying off. In fact, looking at many of the D.C. rally participants today I’d be surprised if they’re still with us in a few years. The Democrats know this. All they have to do is just sit and wait while they die off one by one. The conservatives by contrast whistle by the graveyard of their former constituents without realizing it.

The Intelligent Design movement has been dishonest in their materials. There is nothing scientifically provable about what they’re trying to teach, so they’ve made stuff up.

As a Christian — born again, mind you — I have no problem with the scientifically founded theory of evolution living side by side with my faith in God as the Creator. I will never demand that He fit Himself into the parameters of human scientific study. Or that He allow Himself to be proven to me or anyone else in any human terms.

Look at it this way: if the Creator could be proven, then there would be no need for faith.

The Intelligent Design movement is a big loser for the GOP. Huge. And I also happen to think it’s a big loser for Christians. “False prophets” are pushing it, IMO.

I have no beef with either Evolutionist or Creationist, but LGF spews a lot of hate against Creationists and INtelligent Design believers.

You can’t have radicals from either spectrum running the Conservative movement. LGF has become a radical website. Most of the comments there are no different than the comments you read from Liberals from DailyKos, DemocraticUnderground, Huffington Post, etc, etc.

LGF as well as some individuals (George Will comes to mind) only call themselves conservative in order to be quoted as such by liberals. They’re the “acceptable” conservatives, which actually means fifth columnists. All those folks are in total agreement with the left on the most basic thing, that an elite should rule and that they are the elite. Other than that, they do disagree on tatctics, not on objectives.

Keeping the conservatives fighting among themselves has been their goal for years and they’ve been rewarded by having the old media and liberals recognize them. I hope thier fifth column work is finally being recognized for what it is and will stop working.

“Projections of the Population by Race and Hispanic Origin for the United States: 2008 to 2050,” the bureau forecasts a rise in the number of whites from about 243 million today to 325 million at midcentury – an increase of 82 million.

A bit of old history here. When the “Million Man March” occurred.

Todaywas a great day, but Mark Steyn’s sense that Obama is determined to ram some version of the public option through regardless should be take very seriously. Obviously, if he can convince, bribe and blackmail enough Democrats he can do so. It has been made clear that in doing so, he thumbs his nose at a majority of Americans, so he (and the Democrats) will be telling us they don’t care. They must assume that getting this through will effect irreversible changes in the body politics (again, as Steyn argues). How could we then prove them wrong? Let’s say they pass the legislation? What kinds of politics would be possible then? Civil disobedience? In what forms?

I have watched todays events in DC and elsewhere from afar after attending two different TEA partys this spring.

It is possible that the economy may turn and expand robustly with millions of the unemployed being reemployed prior to the 2010 midterm elections. It is possible that the President may perform an about face, signal the Democrat Congress to withdraw Cap and Tax and Obamacare, and pull a Clinton triangulation. Possible, but highly unlikely.

My 13 year old son told me that at his school, where last year he was one of two anti Obama votes in his class of 28, he now knows of 10 kids who are anti Obama. Once considered a pariah, he is now running for an officers position in school government.

I realize that this info is ancedotal and unscientific. Still, it seems apparent that the liberal agenda is meeting increasing resistance with each passing day. Americans are waking up. Children are reflecting what they are hearing at home. Democrat behavior is defensive and nervous. There is much graveyard whistling in the wind.

As events in Washington today show this story is far from over. The American people are beginning to find their voice. That ain’t good for liberals.

I respectfully disagree….We think that 2010 will be a banner year for employment, money to the masses etc. The Dems will see that there is much $$$ to go around before the election of 2010 so they can say “see what we have done for you ( with your money) “….and the “faithful” obamaites will see that he goes back into office, fooled again… distressing thought…

WSJ on Friday pushed it big on Friday’s issue – every story supported this concept. So much for hated Murdoch’s alternate reality, cuz ABC and every other BHO-worshipping outlet are all over this message as well.

Do you really think central bank interest rate manipulation is really a designation of long-term “recovery”? Do you have any concept of basic economics beyond your obsession with “social justice” or wealth distribution?

Tolbert (#146) wrote: “Praetorian said – Mongoose is doing too much meth. He talks a big game but on election day it’s the numbers that matter. Here are the demographic facts. In 2012 it is estimated the white population will be around 60% and the minority population around 40% (probably more)….

The Census Bureau disagrees

“Projections of the Population by Race and Hispanic Origin for the United States: 2008 to 2050,” the bureau forecasts a rise in the number of whites from about 243 million today to 325 million at midcentury – an increase of 82 million. A related spreadsheet gives the percentages: Whites today account for nearly 80 percent of the US population. In 2050, they’ll constitute 74 percent.

Put down the bong Praetorian.”

Good try. The problem with your analysis is that you have read the data wrong. With the white birth rate declining and the white population greying their numbers are not increasing relative to their minority counterparts. Minorities, especially hispanics, are reproducing in greater numbers than their white counterparts. As time goes on whites will become a smaller percentage of the population not greater as you suggest. Please provide a link that states the white population is increasing in greater numbers than that of non-whites and will get larger over time relative to non whites.

Sep 12, 2009 - 11:49 pm 177. Praetorian:

For Tolbert (#146)

Hispanic-origin population will probably be a major element of the total population growth “45 percent from 2010 to 2030, and 60 percent from 2030 to 2050.

Non-hispanic Whites will “decrease to 23 percent between 2000 and 2010, and 14 percent from 2010 to 2030. The non-Hispanic White population would contribute nothing to population growth after 2030 because it would be declining in size.”

Interpretation: Whites are decreasing. Non-Whites are increasing. Doom for conservatives.

Dave Surls: LOL! Praetorian does have a reading comprehension problem (as well as a rather creepy fixation on white men and what is between their legs.)

He’s also assuming that voting patterns will remain constant. You’re projecting 40 years into the future and assuming that blacks and Hispanics will still be part of the underclass and will continue to vote Dem.

Of course, if the Dems continue to win elections, minorities will indeed be stuck in the ghettos and barrios. That’s exactly where liberals want them – poor, uneducated and dependent on handouts.

But perhaps by the time 2050 rolls around, enough Hispanics and blacks will have realized the Dems have been playing them for fools and that general economic prosperity is in their best interest.

Who knows? But only a fool would assume that conditions, viewpoints and party affiliations will remain the same.

How sad for hard left social engineers like “Praetorian” that they think they think the ideals of conservatism – personal liberty, minimal government intrusion into daily life, and strict adherence to the Constitution – only appeal to their hated enemies – Americans of European descent. They throw these projected yet unproven future demographics about like a victory, assuming that their future subjects are all going to be swarthy peasants too primitive too moronic to even understand the concepts that led them to our shores in the first place. They will accept the hard left “progressive” agenda hook, line and sinker because it is just the right thing for these people.

Far left radicals like “Praetorian” use race and ethnicity as a weapon,(ironically when they have no legitimate reason to do so) based on their own supposed background, and even if they do fall into one of their own established “victim” classes, they presume to speak for EACH and EVERY member of said “oppressed” category.

I attended the Fort Lauderdale Freedom Rally today and I took hundreds of names/emails and asked for donations from the attendants for our group. I am not one to keep a headcount of nit-picky demographics, but I can assure you that in addition to the Left’s hated White Christians, there were plenty of “others” that a cherry-picking leftist might consider to be of Cuban, Venezuelan, Filipino, Peruvian or perhaps other descent.

I do not know because I was not taking the census. I was asking for contact info of people that are interested in activism for retaining and enhancing our personal liberty. That may not meet the “diversity” needs of someone like “Praetorian”, but I suspect that he/she/it cares much less about quotas than pinpointing and attacking a particular demographic – Christians of European descent.

You thought the country was with you.
They’re not.
They’re with us.
Possibly the least conservative Republican (excepting McCain) ran this country for 8 years, and you worked yourselves up into a tizzy, lied, cheated, and stole to shove your unqualified idiot of a left-wing nutjob into the office. You’re still in love with him, sure, but it took the nation less than 7 months to reject him and you.

And not just reject you: reject you overwhelmingly.

He said, “Pass the stimulus and unemployment will not exceed 8%.” So, naturally, we berate him for lying to us because they got a lot worse.

Sep 13, 2009 - 7:02 pm 210. BC:

To myth buster: Oh I see, you guys don’t understand the concept of “lying” versus reporting an estimate in good faith that then turns up awry. Let’s see if I can clarify the difference. Let’s first take the example of Bush: during the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq, pretty much all of the good intel he was receiving was showing that there was no evidence for either an active WMD program nor ties to al-Qaeda regarding, nor was there any real reason to suspect Hussein as being any sort of real threat to the US. However publicly Bush and his people said just the opposite. That’s lying, pronounced “lie – ing”.

In Obama’s case, he had a whole bunch of economic advisers tell him that the stimulus bill *should* stave off unemployment rising above 8%, although the details overall were rather complex. (Don’t I have bestest of links?) These estimates turned out to be off by a couple of percentage points. Did he misrepresent or miscategorized the best info he had in hand, as Bush did? No. Did Obama have a crystal ball showing him that estimates of the experts would be off like this? No.

What if your boss asked you to get an estimate for repairing a leaky office toilet, so you contact some plumbers to get estimates, report the results to your boss, but the final bill ends up being more than the estimate because the plumbing behind the wall was worse than anticipated — does that make you a liar? What if your boss accuses you of being a liar nevertheless — what does that make him?

So does reporting the estimates of the experts make Obama a liar when those estimates turn out to overly optimistic? If not, then what does that make the people accusing him of such?

Sep 13, 2009 - 7:34 pm 211. AtheistConservative:

“Let’s first take the example of Bush: during the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq, pretty much all of the good intel he was receiving was showing that there was no evidence for either an active WMD program nor ties to al-Qaeda regarding, nor was there any real reason to suspect Hussein as being any sort of real threat to the US.”

You know, that IS a good example of lying – on your part.

“In Obama’s case, he had a whole bunch of economic advisers tell him that the stimulus bill *should* stave off unemployment rising above 8%”

Yet another great example of your lying. Numerous economists were very vocal about the fact that ’stimulus’ wasn’t going to fix anything. He ignored them because it wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

Of course, your whole premise is based on a lie – that the ’stimulus’ had anything to do with creating or saving jobs. It was all crony payments, slush funds, and pet projects. Which is why it didn’t work.

How does it feel being deluded? Seriously. You will not believe the truth that is right in front of your eyes. Are you in love with Obama? You can admit it, it’s okay nowadays. Just tell us that you love him and your bizarre fetish fantasies make it impossible for you to objectively evaluate him. We can get you help.

@211. BC: – Did you click on that PDF link I included…

I did.

– check the date on it,

January, 2009 – right before the Spendulus was rammed through Congress before anyone actually had time to read it carefully, and a point in time where all of the economic indicators clear.

– where it came from,

Oh yes. Check it yourself. It came from the “Council of Economic Advisors”, headed by Christina Romer – one of the minions BHO selected to tell him what he wanted to hear before he even took office. The report was issued by the “The Office of the Vice President Elect” – a bogus, made-up office that had no business commissioning anything, since Biden had yet to take office. Romer is a wack-job from Berkeley who’s been sucking down a paycheck in the bubble of academia all her adult life and who has never actually held a real job. She lost her appointment to Harvard because of her idiotic, socialist economic theories and her failure to understand the causes and exacerbating factors of the Great Depression. No President with any executive experience – “elect” or otherwise – would believe anything an ideologue like Romer had to say about predicting the economy. That much has been proven.

Using those predictions to justify the largest government spending increase in all of recorded history demonstrates how truly bad BHO’s judgment really is. BHO didn’t “lie” when he asserted that the Spendulus would keep unemployment to 9%, he lied when he said we should have any confidence whatsoever in those predictions.

I don’t now is the best time to start breaking up oversized banks into more manageable chunks. There will be time later for that….

BC, next year, when you drop out of high school and have to go find a real job, and the unemployment rate is 15% because the “extremely well-educated, knowledgeable people” told BHO what he said he wanted to hear, you’ll find out how utterly delusional you are.

BHO has never held a real job. His head economic adviser has never had a real job, and has demonstrated complete ignorance of how taxes, depressions and recessions function – so complete that Harvard refused to hire her. And it’s likely that YOU will never have a real job because these people and their ilk are actively destroying the economy so they can build a new corporatist state from the ashes.

Your commie bullshit always has the same ending: mass murder and economic collapse. In part, that’s caused by willfully blind, suicidally gullible individuals just like you.

Re: the 3 stooges and 2 boobs sign

Perhaps it takes a male understanding, there are 3 people portrayed, all of whom are stooges. One of the stooges is female, and presumably has 2 breasts, or boobs. Pretty simple really.

@220. Now and Then: – I say ODT and DOMA are goners.
All evidence to the contrary.

- You say they’re not.
Heheheh… that’s YOUR fantasy.

I observe that BHO has taken no direct action regarding DOMA or DODT, let alone repealed either one. That is documented fact.

I observe that elements of the gay community are calling foul as a result, and that THEY don’t expect this President or this Congress to follow through on their promises. That is also documented fact (just follow the link – and go place a bet with THEM if you’re so anxious to give away your money).

I couldn’t care less what happens with either issue, so you’re only betting against yourself. As usual, you can’t post without lying and false bravado – right in line with your fantasy that you ever served in the military.

But speaking of BHO’s “say anything” campaign rhetoric, I see that Osama is laughing from beyond the grave at BHO’s pathetic inability to live up to his promises regarding withdrawal from Iraq.

TO ALL PJMERS REs#191BC Poor little BC.His fantasy world is collapsing around him as Obama’s marxoid ineptitude,attempt to kill elderly white voters through death panels, and moronic,economic”stimuluses,designed to save his leftist bankers,and stimulate poverty among the rest of us,instead stimulated a massive popular resistance.And All he can do is to,call the protesting patriots”idiots”and similar adult defecations such as:”You suck”!What prompted that? did hehappen to be sucking on a crack-laced-roach bought with his welfare check?Poor little hysteric; he so angry,he can’t think. Temper, tempter, little libtard;we are not stopping until we get back congress, neuter,the vicious little marxoid creep,and send him and the butt-faced wife to Cuba,where they can help Castro set up an internet surveillance site.Up against the wall libtard suckers!Try and stop us!Woodstock is over!
