2/9: Tea Party Advocates Power of the People
Posted by Editor on February 9, 2010 · 23 Comments
Georgia’s Croweta Tea Party opposes governor’s appointment of state officers:
Associated Press reports that critics from both parties said the plan was unlikely to win the needed two-thirds vote in the Legislature and would consolidate too much power with the state’s chief executive.
Coweta County area “Tea Party” activists strongly condemned Perdue’s proposal.
“Tea Party Patriots of Georgia and Coweta have spoken out strongly against this,” said Wendy Bloedt of the Coweta Tea Party Patriots.
15th Amendment – The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. (1870)
jcs; The 15th Amendment to the Constitution only applys to U.S. Citizens,and not to people that have entered the country illegaly. You can only vote in the United States if you are a Citizen of the United States. Just because you have a drivers license dose not give you the right to vote, you must be a Citizen.
Yes Bryan, that’s correct. People who are not citizens do not have the right to vote. To my knowledge even the looniest have suggested that President Obama was elected my people who weren’t citizens.
What the ex-governor said was that President Obama was elected by non-English citizens who couldn’t speak English or spell the word “vote”. What he proposed was a measure that denied Americans the right to vote granted by the 15th amendment. American citizens are entitled to the Constitutional right to vote whether they speak English or not. We’re all Americans. That’s something the Founding Fathers understood better than people do today, We’re all immigrants, or sons or daughters of immigrants.
Bryan I honestly think you’re a decent person. Don’t support this kind of nonsence.
Right. To my knowledge even the fringe right has not made the accusation that Obama was elected by illegal immigrants.
Tancredo said that Obama was elected by non-English speaking American citizens. He said their vote should be denied in violation of the 15th amendment to the enthusiastic applause of the crowd.
Bryan, that is flat out racism and unAmerican. American citizens are still citizens whether we speak English or not. The Constitution applies equally to all of us, something the founding fathers knew better than people today, having been recent immigrants themselves.
Have you ever noticed that Glenn Beck ridicules people that question the government’s official conspiracy theory of what happened on 911 but never invites these people to present their evidence? He has claimed that there is a connection between 911 Truthers and terrorists but has never bothered to present his evidence. Rent “911 Press for Truth” from Netflix and decide for yourself.
Does Glenn Beck ever invite anyone with a contrary view to discuss the issues?
That because you never watch actualy the show….
I don’t have cable. I watch him on YouTube. I do believe he’s never had an articulate liberal on his show. The FOX news idea of “fair and balanced” is to invite liberals, when they rarely do, who are understand logic, but who are befuddled when accused of being part of paranoid conspiracies.
The best example of this strategy is the Republican Party. The Republican House engaged President Obama in a discussion on health care. Obama took them all on, one by one, and exposed their lack of understanding of basic issues and economics. The Senate Republicans will likely refuse to meet on camera with Obama because it would be a PR disaster to challenge the President on ideas. Smart doesn’t make right, but there’s not a person in the legislature who has the guts to take the President on in public.
Why do you all waste your time making a reply to this obama lackey jcs. Look at the posts and think about it. How much of our tax money do you think the administration spends to hire under achievers like this to disrupt these web sites. They get paid to set and make statements that are designed to provoke normal people. Don’t waste time getting in an argument with these people. Ignore them and they eventually go away!
jerry 0641, I spent meany years letting the progressive liberals getaway with saying what ever they wanted, without myself saying a-word. And look what happened to our Country. progressive liberals were allowed to lie,cheat,steel, warp and prevert the truth with no-one to stand in there way. Just take a close look at the comments made about Tom Tancredo. The progressive liberals took a very small part of this man’s speech, turned it around and made the man a BIGGOT. When that is a LIE, and I will not let them get away with it any-longer. Our Freedom Is To Important….
Congratulations in your effort to save America by calling me names on this website.
I noticed you never responded to Tancredo’s suggestion to deny American’t the constitutional right to vote with a civics literacy test. You seem happy to insult me, but reluctant to discuss the issues. I think your belief in the constitution only extends to some Americans but not to all.
Cool, I’m part of a paranoid conspiracy theory. Of course I’m actually by ACORN (duh!).
Jerry, you’re right, I’m paid by the Obama/ACORN/facist/communists to disrupt right wing websites and I’m provoking “normal people” like you you by presenting a alternative opinions. You’d like to dismiss any alternative view with a conspriracy theory or other ploy to avoid a substantive discuss of the issue. I’d like to hear an intelligent argument from you on any issue. Name calling and insults don’t qualify. Do have anything?
Am I disrupting your little love-fest here? Sorry! And sorry, I’m not going away.
Thank jcs for confirming what I have always know. But you are not offering an alternative opinions, you are offering the opposite opinions in most cases. And thats fine. One of the problems most people see from you is, there not your ideas. I can go on at least ten liberal progressive web-sites and read the same thing you write on this site. And there not new ideas. With your opinions there is a major disconnect with the majority of the American people. And that is because the only thing liberal progressive want is power and control over the people of this country.
Tom Tancredo spoke eloquently as the first speaker at the tea party conventtion about the tea party ideal of excluding some Americans from voting. So, more correctly, the tea party support the power of some of the people, but now all.
Really?
Is that what you believe?
Why are you here?
You obviously are paid by the Huffing-Paint Post so seriously…
Why are you here?
Missy8s, jcs writes on this site because there are no more liberal progressive blogs on the web. There all gone. You see Missy8s they ( progressives) don’t have Bush to blame everything on anymore. And the liberal progressive will not blame Obama for anything, even after Obama broke every promise he made to them. So what’s a lonely liberal progressive to do. But come over to this site and blame all of us….
Here’s an update on Obama’s promises:

Missy and Bryan, I’m here to save you.
But back to the point. Tancredo made the “in your face” racist remark that the country should return to using a civics literacy test, the same thing used to disenfranchise blacks in the last century (if you know your civics).
So, is there a person who reads this website who would care to support or repudiate that?
jcs It is your vain arrogance that tells you that others need to be saved. But Lets take a close look at what you are saying about racism, and what white progressive liberals have said about Obama. Bill Clinton; ” A few years ago this guy (Obama) would be serving us coffee.” Nancy Pellosi; ” He speeks really well for a black man.” Harry Reid; On Obama in his new book suggesting Obama was electable” because he was light-skinned and had no negro dialect unless he wanted to have one.”… I will tell you this. I have never met a more racist, bigoted, hateful group of people, then progressive liberals. Your problem jcs is you and your progressive liberal friends never tell the truth, or base anything you say on fact. And this is why you lose everytime….
There’s a lot of bile in you post Bryan. Our country would benefit from a more open and civil dialog, which is not well served by your style of debating the issues.
Tom Tancredo suggested, as the first speaker of the tea party convention, that the US return to using a civics literacy test, which historically was used to selectively deny blacks their constitutional right to vote. I believe Tancredo’s proposal is a racist one, with the goal of selectively denying certain groups American citizens – African and Mexican-Americans I think – the right to vote. In my opinion that’s not only unconstitutional, it’s reprehensible.
Anyone agree with me?
