How Does It Feel When WE Don’t Play Transparent, Prick?

The Star Tribune:

It looks like the revolution will not be televised, after all.

At least not the Tea Party’s revolution.

Word from Nashville on Monday was that the First National Tea Party Convention next month will be closed to the press, other than for a limited number of “selected” journalists. No word on who or how many.

This from the people who brought us last summer’s media-saturated Town Hall meetings.

The restrictions apparently apply to the much-anticipated speeches by Sarah Palin and Minnesota’s own Michele Bachmann.

Organizers say that journalists without passes will not be allowed into the convention at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. (A Star Tribune request for a pass was denied, the paper’s interest in covering its home-state congresswoman notwithstanding).

Convention spokesman Judson Phillips informs us that most of the sessions are closed “at the request” of the presenters. “Given the media interest, I don’t want the sessions disrupted and overrun with the media,” he said.

While organizers are offering to help set up interviews with speakers, they said Palin will not be available.

The Tea Party is also planning two unspecified events that the media can cover, Phillips said. As of this writing, neither has been finalized.

If the secrecy sounds a little, well, un-American, Phillips has this explanation: It’s not a political convention, but a “working convention.” (They accuse OUR secrecy as being un-America. Unbelievable. Not a single shred of legal policy will be made behind those doors UNLIKE behind the shadowed halls of Congress. The ignorance and blatant stupidity of the majority and their pets offends every cell of my body.)

It appears that sometimes the right of the people to peaceably assemble is best conducted out of view.

    I hope, to dear God, that this is the beginning of the take-over of our constitution, I hope this is the start of a real revolution, I hope that this is the start of Obama’s crushing defeat and I hope that our generals are able to sleep at night knowing that it’s not them that protect us and our constitution, its the people. To our top Generals, don’t worry ,you can stay as lazy as you have been, we the people, and hopefully many of our patriots serving under your “leadership” will regain our country while you sit around and watch fuck-wad Obana piss on our constitution one more night while you collect undeserving pay checks as you sit idle and our country sinks closer to chaos sipping “while Obama-Cock tails at his DC parties……. Don’t worry, you won;t get the credit for stopping communism inside our country, there are others……go back and play poker with the secret service, the people out here will take care of things for you…..

    I predicted the elections that took place in 2009, and I predicted the chaos the left has wrought. I never expected it would be so much of a bloodless coup that it has been.

    Republicans have been slandered, defamed and used at punching bags for decades. They (me, we) prefer to have respect for a person’s dignity in empowering and enabling people: To teach people how to make a fishing pole, take them to a lake or the ocean, show them how to stand, catch fish, control the fishing pole and how to cook what they catch. This gives them dignity and interaction with those who know how, and those who own the lake itself.

    Look at the maneuvering over this health care bill, the consistent changes and half-truths and adjustments and lies and explanations. When are people going to see this is a car salesman forcing you to but a car that you do not need, cannot afford and will cause you more money to maintain in a year when the warranty runs out and they won’t take your phone calls? They won’t take the car back either.

    Even John McCain has come out and said The Golden Child is trying to bankrupt the nation. That means collapse it, abdicate it and stop its form of government.

    The bottom is about to fall out of this charade we have suffered for the last year and it has been a real case study in deception and omission since He started running for President. His party needs to be held accountable for a bloodless coup that has been unleashed since January of last year.

    The most pressing threat to this nation is not health care. it is the war they have tried desperately to distract and refuse to fight. That to me ladies and gentlemen is treason and a complete lie about their leftist culture that refuses to have any respect for someone jumping from the 110th floor, or working on their computer in the Pentagon or flushed with fear on flight 93 the morning of 9/11; the scores of people whose lives were ravaged during the 1990s un-confronted or non-combatants, women, children and hostages beheaded and disemboweled in the combat zone. The unanswered genocide in contrast with how the warrior and national security and intelligence services of our beloved country are being obstructed must be confronted and corrected.

    Sounds like a good move to keep the spin masters out. Journalism has given up its right to participate.
