Dad 29 whetted my appetite this past weekend and on Rush's show today he read and explained the American Spectator piece from
Angelo M. Codevilla,
"America's Ruling Class -- And the Perils of Revolution"If you believe in this great country of ours, I first ask that you go to this link and read it in it's entirety.You will then understand the meaning of the "Ruling" and the "Country" class in this country. What does this have to do with a tea party? I for one think it might be time for a "Country Tea Party" What is a "Country Tea Party? 
I want a tea party where it is just you and I!I want no bands!No speakers at a podium!No podiums!No speakers to hear someone talk. No candidates!No special guests!No republicans or democrats!No progressive's or moderates!No tea party leaders! We have no leaders, the tea party is a movement. No one handing out literature, campaign slogans or or bumper stickers. No one selling t shirts or popcorn! I just want you and I.I just want you and I to meet and talk to each other on what we can do to take back our country. With our signs in hand, we will know what we want. We can talk and plan and we will learn what some are afraid to say or think. We will be Americans. When? I don't know. Sometime in the future before it's too late. What time? Who know's. If you work during the day we can meet at night. If you work at night we could meet during the day. As long as it's you and I, it will be fine. Where? I don't know. Maybe the post office. Maybe at the city park. Maybe at the football or baseball team parking lot. As long as it is you and I, where does not matter. Will it ever happen? It will if you read"America's Ruling Class -- And the Perils of Revolution"See you there.

"The contempt with which Democrats and liberals, and some non-Democrats and non-liberals, hold Palin oozes across your monitor. Lee has a potential reason:
First, these critics probably have never fully listened to any of her speeches. Rather, like Attorney General Eric Holder, who recently admitted that he went on Meet The Press to criticize a law — Arizona’s recently passed immigration laws — that he has not even read or been briefed about, these critics are merely parroting popular misconceptions about Palin and thinking they are original and smart in doing so.
But I think there’s something else at work here. I think liberals and those in the mainstream media fear her. Sure, they openly say she has no chance of beating President Obama — if she even runs, that is; but, inside, they must fear that she could very well beat President Obama in a one-on-one match-up. And unlike previous Republicans whose conservatism has been diluted once they got to Washington, Palin does not seem to care in the least what the establishment class — on both sides of the aisle — thinks of her. If she does come to Washington, her conservatism and convictions won’t get watered down. She’ll come to Washington to change it and not let Washington change her. In the end, this, more than anything, is what scares the left-leaning members of the establishment and chattering class. And also why conservatives gravitate towards and are willing to fight harder for her. "

YOU GO GAL!!!!!!!!!!!
This morning on CNBC I seen this and wondered if we would see a you tube of Rick Santelli rip a liberal democrat on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Why is it only said by Rick Santelli?
I know this is from John Boehner's office but why don't republicans say this to democrats more often?
Are they AFRAID of the MSM?
Let us not forget it was Rick who started the tea party movement. This makes my autograph from Rick Santelli worth a lot more. Thank You Mr Santelli."CNBC’s Rick Santelli Rips Key Democrat For Ignoring Fannie/Freddie Reform
Dems’ Financial “Reform” Leaves Taxpayers on the Hook for Government Mortgage Giants
Washington, May 11 - Follow @GOPLeader on Twitter for updates.
Democrats still don’t get it, and they refuse to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government mortgage companies that sparked the meltdown by giving high-risk loans to people who couldn’t afford it. Standing up for American taxpayers, CNBC’s on-air editor, Rick Santelli teed off on Rep. Paul Kanjorski’s (D-PA) claim that Democrats’ couldn’t reform Fannie & Freddie in their financial regulation bill because it was “too complicated,” asking: “It’s too complicated? You think taxpayers that go to work to pay the money you are subsidizing, it will end up a half a trillion, do you think they think complicated is an excuse?”

From Rush Limbaugh show."RUSH: Now, the Obey question. This is from Dave Weigel, who is a blogger at the Washington Post: "What do we know about the retirement of Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.)? Why would one of the most powerful men in Congress, elected in 1969[er], in a district that went for the Obama-Biden ticket, bail out of reelection? Republicans point to the campaign of Sean Duffy, a telegenic (literally) district attorney who raised a lot of money, built a following among national conservatives and, according to everything I'm hearing, was giving Obey a real battle in his internal polls. I've talked to Duffy several times and been so impressed -- and so convinced that this was the sort of race that would determine this was a good or a watershed year for Republicans -- that I dubbed him the No. 3 conservative to watch this year." The bottom line is here" David Obey, one of the most powerful men in Congress elected 1969er, in a district that went for Obama-Biden is quitting because he's being outpolled by a dyed-in-the-wool conservative Republican. Not a "moderate" Republican, not an "independent" Republican but a dyed-in-the-wool conservative Republican. Once again: A teachable moment.

ESCANABA - The announcement Friday by Congressman Bart Stupak that he was not seeking re-election was greeted enthusiastically by people attending the Tea Party rally in Ludington Park.
Bill Isetts Sr., of Escanaba, who was present for the rally, said he supported what the grassroots organization stood for.
"Enough is enough already," said Isetts. "The current health care legislation stinks.It's as phony as a $3 bill."
Isetts also said as the government continues to take more and more money, it is becoming ridiculous and no one in Washington is listening."

ESCANABA - Many were shocked to learn of Congressman Bart Stupak's decision to retire, an announcement he made Friday. Local residents shared their reactions - which included disappointment, sadness and understanding - to the news that the man who had represented the Upper Peninsula for 18 years would step down.
Several local residents said they would be sorry to see Stupak vacate his seat. Many felt he represented the Upper Peninsula well and worked hard for the well-being of his constituents.
"I hate to see him step down because he's done a lot for Michigan," said Peg Bartol, Escanaba. "With his wisdom and knowledge of our area, it's sad to see him step down.""
