			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JAKE WHO DOES GET TO DECIDE?<br />
Axelrod, Emanuel and Obama?</p>
<p>Can you keep asking questions?<br />
Do you feel apprehensive about it?<br />
Will you speak as freely in the future<br />
Will they be watching you?<br />
They have all the power.<br />
Your power comes from our traditions and Constitution.<br />
They despise both.</p>
<p>Will they cut you off at the knees?<br />
We dont trust them at all.<br />
Do you?</p>
<p>Did you read the Cargill study? It said conservatives suspect some dark sinister plot. YES WE DO!! He got that right. I read that report and he could have recorded it right from my mind.</p>
<p>Jake is it getting darker?<br />
I mean are we OK?<br />
Is the USA going to survive?<br />
The way we know it?<br />
Is the dollar going to collapse tomorrow?<br />
Is it on PURPOSE?<br />
Are we paranoid?</p>
<p>You know we are not.<br />
Else why ask the question, WHO GETS TO DECIDE?<br />
We are NOT OK ANYMORE.<br />
AND IF WE ARE<br />
Whos going to tell us?</p>
<p>We are phony astroturfers, evil-monger obstructionists, they dont speak to us anymore, they just insult us.</p>
<p>YOU need some friends out there.<br />
We need some friends.</p>
<p>You better get organized or just give up.<br />
They will pick you apart if you stand alone.<br />
These are real thugs.</p>
<p>Every day the next shoe drops, there was a time I believed they didn&#8217;t want to destroy our country, today I am convinced they do.</p>
<p>Is our USA so lousy it needs this transformation they are committed to? Some of us think not!!!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a cold war person, now we fight the communists across our church pews.<br />
It isnt what some of us want for this country.<br />
We want to try OUR WAY AGAIN.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_333" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 184px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-333" title="MikeTate_sm" src="http://www.weeweedup.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/MikeTate_sm-174x300.jpg" alt="WI Democrat Chair Mike Tate" width="174" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">WI Democrat Chair Mike Tate</p></div>
<p>Following the <a href="http://www.weeweedup.us/2009/09/20/milwaukee-tea-party-10000-strong-plus-1-lib-thug/">Milwaukee Taxpayers’ Tea Party</a> this weekend that attracted somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 people, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chairman Mike Tate told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;These are extremist elements pulling together, distinct vocal minorities that frankly don&#8217;t believe in this country,&#8221;  Tate said. &#8220;They don&#8217;t want to see more people have access to quality affordable health care; they don&#8217;t want clean air and water. They fundamentally don&#8217;t understand how the American government, economy and capitalism work.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Dominic, a friend and contributing author on this site, made some very salient points on these comments from the left:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The Chairman of the Democrat Party of WI opens his mouth and green slime flows. I ask all of my fellow citizens who have a pure heart to consider a little trick. Instead of feeling insulted by this drivel, feel exalted! The more they march toward a radical unsupported fringe attitude, the closer they are to elimination.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Almost no one will believe this guy except his brain washed cadre. That&#8217;s about 25% of the country. By keeping on in a civil, determined way we will prevail. Lets show the other 75% we are civil well informed citizens of The United States.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>As Dominic points out, the Democrat and leftist messages have long since ceased to be any attempt to change hearts and minds. They are simply reinforcements of the mantra they&#8217;ve been chanting for years, intended to keep the faithful in step with their ideology.</p>
<p>What the left does not seem to see &#8211; or chooses not to see &#8211; they are preaching to a continually shrinking audience. Others may argue with me, but I&#8217;m seeing a large number of previously liberal &#8220;converts&#8221; to a more right or at least centrist view. I&#8217;m also finding those who still call themselves Democrats or leftists (I don&#8217;t want to imply that I think the two are one in the same) that are beginning to openly question the ideology of the left. I don&#8217;t see much evidence of the opposite.</p>
<p><strong>Update (September 22, 2009)</strong></p>
<p>In this brief article I&#8217;ve only focused on the effect of Mr. Tate&#8217;s statements, not on the actual content.  Kevin Binversie offers a great rebuttal to Mr. Tate at his <a href="http://www.lakeshorelaments.com/?p=3883" target="_blank">Lakeshore Laments blog</a>.</p>

<p>Saturday&#8217;s  Milwaukee Tea Party and Constitution rally was held at Veterans Park on the shores of Lake Michigan. By anyone&#8217;s measure, the rally was a huge success.</p>
<p>If I wasn&#8217;t dealing with some temporary limited mobility issues I would have been there, but the pictures and videos are pouring in from FaceBook, Twitter and the ever growing conservative blogosphere.</p>
<p>Milwaukee area radio had been buzzing about the event for the past few weeks. It seemed every time I heard about the rally on the radio or read something on the event website, yet another great speaker had been added to the lineup:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Michelle Malkin</strong> Author, Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies</li>
<li><strong>Scott Walker</strong> Milwaukee County Executive</li>
<li><strong>Vicki McKenna</strong> Rock Star of Radio WISN Radio Milwaukee, WIBA Radio Madison</li>
<li><strong>Joe the Plumber</strong> Author: Fighting for the American Dream</li>
<li><strong>Rachel Campos-Duffy</strong> Blogger at AOL Parent Dish Author: Stay Home, Stay Happy</li>
<li><strong>Pat Snyder</strong> WSAU Radio, Wausau</li>
<li><strong>James T. Harris</strong> WTMJ Radio, Milwaukee</li>
<li><strong>Willie Soon, Ph.D</strong> Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics</li>
<li><strong>Marc Marano</strong> Former Spokesman for Senator James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma Web site: ClimateDepot.com</li>
<li><strong>Eric O&#8217;Keefe</strong> Sam Adams Alliance</li>
<li><strong>David Clarke</strong> Milwaukee County Sheriff</li>
<li><strong>Mark Block</strong> Wisconsin State Director, Americans for Prosperity</li>
<li><strong>Pastor David King</strong> Founder, Milwaukee God Squad</li>
<li><strong>Rebecca Kleefisch</strong> Conservative Correspondent at Midday With Charlie Sykes</li>
<li><strong>Linda Hansen</strong> Wisconsin Prosperity Network</li>
<li><strong>Manny Perez</strong> JNA Staffing &amp; Representative, National Hispanic Assembly</li>
<li><strong>Chad Kent</strong> Chad Kent Speaks</li>
<li><strong>Tim Dake</strong> Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty</li>
</ul>
<p>The Milwaukee County Sheriff&#8217;s Department estimated attendence at 10,000, and as has been the norm at Tea Party events, there were no problems with violence.</p>
<p>All except for that one liberal provocateur.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://theundergroundconservative.wordpress.com/2009/09/19/milwaukee-tea-party/" target="_blank">Underground Conservative</a> has a great article on the incident that ended with the arrest of the lib disruptor. As detailed in that article, lib bloggers are already trying to spin this into a story of &#8220;mob violence&#8221;.  Statist blogger <a href="http://www.crawfordstake.com/2009/09/anti-govt-rally-masked-as-anti.html" target="_blank">Renee Crawford</a> claims in her version of events that the disruptor was a &#8211; say it with me<em><strong> &#8211; </strong><strong>victim</strong></em> being chased down by a <em><strong>mob of angry white men</strong></em>, acting in response to the <em><strong>call to violence</strong></em> that the speaker at the time of the incident  (Vicki McKenna) was &#8220;preaching&#8221; from the stage.</p>
<p>Multiple recountings from other attendees tell quite a different story. They recall a hostile agitator getting into as many people&#8217;s faces as he could, screaming a mixed bag of obscenities and liberal talking points. All agree he was there spoiling for a fight.  The video that is posted in the Underground Conservative article backs this up. Despite Renee&#8217;s interesting claim that <em><strong>she</strong></em> was the one to call in the police &#8220;to save him from the mob&#8221;, he was arrested after striking a woman who was trying to take his picture.</p>
<p>All I can say is: Renee, you&#8217;re amazing. 10,000 people somehow missed what really happened in front of their eyes, but <strong>you</strong> got it right.</p>
<p>Renee has tried to defend her article with comments she left at the Underground Conservative article. According to her attempt at defense, her description of &#8220;a mob of angry white men&#8221; was not a racist comment.</p>
<p>A second time you have simply amazed me, Renee.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong></p>
<p>This is the best video clip I&#8217;ve seen so far showing the attitude of this thug, as well as the complete lack of his being &#8220;chased by a crowd of angry white men&#8221;. Renee Crawford had also made the claim that <strong>Joe The Plumber</strong> was also involved in the altercation, intimating that he had acted as an aggressor. Joe is clearly visible here, attempting to calm the thug down and keep the situation from escalating.</p>
<p align="center"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1Dg4m-AzuKc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1Dg4m-AzuKc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;color2=0xfebd01" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
</p>
<p align="center">
<p style="text-align: center;">And our liberal thug friend was not alone. It was good to see that the Obama supporters turned out in such force for their counter-protest:</p>

<p>Very recently the group has come under intense public scrutiny due to the release of video apparently showing employees at several ACORN locations advising conservative activists posing as a prostitute and pimp how to break a number of laws including prostitution, tax evasion and human trafficking.</p>
<p>The House measure passed 345-75, according to the office of House Republican leader John Boehner.</p>
<p>This is the latest in a series of governmental blowbacks following the release of the sting tapes:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You need to have grown up in a big city ethnic HOOD background to get it.</p>
<p>One day the prostitutes show up on the corner, they were chased off from somewhere else, but the cops let them float around. Once a neighborhood has complained enough the cops may shag them somewhere else for a while. </p>
<p>They stop your car and ask &#8220;Honey are you a cop&#8221; (the cops are not allowed to lie) then &#8220;Honey want a date?&#8221; Mostly they wont mess with you because the CORNER needs a relatively good reputation else business goes down hill.</p>
<p>Now these gals run from raunchy middle aged to unbelievably hot youngsters. And at midnight in car lights the in between even look gorgeous.</p>
<p>So this goes on your street corner every night. You don&#8217;t pay or play but you see it. You talk to your brothers and sisters about it. Did you see that white gal with the silver jumpsuit, or the six foot tall black one. Was she a man? </p>
<p>Now understand that prostitution is an integrated business, you need all styles and shapes and colors to run a good corner. And probably all 4 or 5 genders you can come up with.</p>
<p>So these ACORN ladies are snoozing, every once in a while the six kids they are baby sitting cry and wake them up. So in walks Hannah (Tingle) and pimp and they start this Prostitute sting. The big lady nods her heads and looks SO WISE. She know all about it, after all they do that on her corner.</p>
<p>Now she don&#8217;t really KNOW all about it but she wants to be IMPORTANT&#8230; cause reality if she knew all about it she wouldn&#8217;t be sitting in that shit office working for ACORN&#8230;. </p>
<p>The point, finally, is if you are thoroughly acclimated to that environment it is an easy leap to this kind of discussion.</p>
<p>These gals probably never set up a brothel in there life. And if they had they would turn you into the local pimp and have him take CARE of you.</p>
<p>They probably do have family, acquaintances etc in the BUSINESS</p>
<p>Because this is the HOOD and that&#8217;s the way it is.</p>
