Westwood Tea Party no longer recognizes U.S. government as legitimate, others call for revolution
The Westwood Tea Party (out of the upscale Los Angeles neighborhood that's home to UCLA) has a protest planned for January 20, 2010 in Washington DC. Their event listing titled "It's Time For a Second Declaration of Independence!" (facebook.com/event.php?eid=218493179090) includes the following at the end (full text below):
It’s time for us to tell these Marxist bastards that we don’t consent to what they’re doing, and we therefore no longer recognize them as the legitimate government of We the People!
From their main page, we see that they've at least appeared at the same protest as GOP groups ("NO on PROP 1A / TEA PARTY RALLY @ the Federal Building at 11000 WILSHIRE in WESTWOOD!3:00-6:00 PM. Sponsered by Westside Republicans. / We are working with several ANTI-TAX groups and are expecting significant, exciting speakers.") One can only imagine what the national GOP leadership would think of this.
And, one can only imagine what the GOP would think of the Freerepublic thread that links to the event listing (freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2414518/posts) which includes a few people calling for revolution (how many of those are FBI agents isn't known).
I can't explain to the tea parties how lunatic this is, so I won't try. But, it's not like I didn't expect them to go off the deep end one day or other. Now we know the date.
The full text follows:
Calling all red blooded, Patriotic Americans!
It’s time for another march on Washington DC.
On the date of the State of the Union address, January 20, 2010.
On this day, a joint session of Congress, the President of the United States, his entire cabinet, the Supreme Court and the Joint Chiefs of Staff...plus distinguished guests will be in attendance.
You want media coverage? All major broadcast and cable networks will be there to broadcast the event.
This is the most strategically advantageous opportunity for Patriotic Americans to hold a demonstraion against an out of control government that's trashing our Constituion.
This march needs to dwarf the size of the crowd that showed up on 9/12/2009. We need to surround the Capitol Building.
Who’s sick and tired of being ignored?
It’s time for a second Declaration of Independence!
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
It’s time for us to tell these Marxist bastards that we don’t consent to what they’re doing, and we therefore no longer recognize them as the legitimate government of We the People!

If enough people felt as strongly as the TPs, we'd have no problem with Congress. It's only when a movement remains small that it lacks credibility as a political entity. I love it! Don't worry, I suspect that after these people cool down, the rhetoric will attenuate.

Remember, LW, the first Sons of Liberty tarred and feathered the King's tax collector, but they never seriously harmed anyone.

No Amnesty no race hate from the mass racist black and brown and yellow and white communism ideas. Think Head on a pole.

I'm guessing it's an ACORN plant.
