Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
A Sincere Apology is in order
Out here in America, we are watching the worst of the worst in our Nation’s capitol. The debate between “both sides of the aisle” took a dive as our children watched adults scream, yell, throw fits and call the others names. It was not just embarrassing; it was heartbreaking to realize thuggish teenagers were in charge of the greatest nation in the world.
Joe Biden, the media and all the other talking heads in DC have once again used bullying tactics instead of professional debating techniques in their negotiations. Calling someone names is a sign of weakness and you think they would know that. But again we think they should know a lot of things such as the rule of law and other simple things like that and they don’t.
We’ve been called ignorant, racists, hobbits and the most recent one – terrorists. Their name calling would be considered bullying outside the bubble of DC. (Fyi… – the American people are outside the DC bubble and when you speak words of hate, you send them to us wrapped up in hopelessness and frustration.) The irony of all this is those who called Tea Party Members “terrorists” are the same ones who write speeches, pass legislation and create programs for anti-bullying campaigns. For instance, did you know:
- The Federal government spends our tax dollars for special projects such as non-bullying videos and seminars. Here is one example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJNKObWorm0&feature=watch_response
- Congress passes hate crime legislation to ensure we all get along and are respectful of each other’s differences. Bills are needed for that, you know.
- President Obama even called for civility in our Nation to remind us that our hopes and dreams are bound together. See his speech here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMSVEyqMlg4
- Members of Congress spend time giving speeches about bullying from the House floor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u8-v2m1EAE
- President Obama and First Lady Michelle held a symposium on bullying where Obama said “As a nation, we're founded on the belief that all of us are equal and each of us deserves the freedom to pursue our own version of happiness."
- And even the media got behind the cause by hosting special events such as CNN’s “Stop Bullying: Speak Up.”
- And…Vice President Joe Biden said these words “the bullies are the inferior ones” in a non-bullying video posted at queerty.com.
In all their speeches, seminars and videos, they tell those who are being bullied to Stand Up and Tell Someone. So here we are.
The Tea Party Members in DC and out here in America are standing up and telling you that calling us names such as racists, hobbits and terrorists must stop and it must stop now. Name calling is bullying and in the words of Vice President Biden, “you are the inferior ones” for using these tactics.
If Joe called me today, I would ask him this question: Would you call your mother a terrorist? Do you know how many mothers and grandmothers are involved in the Tea Party Movement of America? From our research, we believe at least a million. Most of them are white-haired, sweet women who knit, cook for their families and bake pies for sick friends. They worked hard all their lives. They took care of their families without asking you to do anything for them. They sacrificed sons to fight your wars. They set up organizations to help the military, the homeless and battered women. They drove neighborhood children to soccer practice and they broke up fights between friends on the school yard. They saved for their retirement and trusted the government to give back their Social Security benefits taken out of their paychecks all those years. When they saw our country in financial ruin, they stood up to their government and said “Enough of that, boys. We have to clean up this mess.”
Calling Grandma a terrorist is about as low as one can go, Joe. If we lived in times when men were men, you would be taken to the woodshed for this behavior and then made to apologize. The media would be standing in line to get their punishment too for inciting hate instead of reporting news as a real journalist would do. The media would issue an apology and the one who called Grandma a terrorist would be suspended.
The Tea Party is comprised of great American patriots who are deeply concerned about the welfare of our country and have a right to speak up about their concerns. Just because you don’t like what they have to say doesn’t mean you resort to name-calling.
As Obama said, “As a nation, we're founded on the belief that all of us are equal and each of us deserves the freedom to pursue our own version of happiness." The Tea Party is pursuing a long held standard of American “entitlements” which are: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Too bad you are uncomfortable with these entitlements – they are ours and we plan to protect them. Got that?
Children watch adults and imitate them. Our children are watching you and what they are seeing is disgusting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xlaAkD15Gk
Here’s a thought: How about being a better role model for the future generation.
Why?
First, it’s the right thing to do.
Second, real men apologize.
A sincere apology is in order. The Tea Party Grandmas in America deserve nothing less. We await your call.

Crenshaw's office seemed stunned that I asked. I told the man you don't have to agree with my views on TEA,BUT don't you dare call me a terrorists when you coddle terrorists in the media.

His career or 36 years in Washington is a CLASSIC EXAMPLE of why term limits need to be applied!

Piers Morgan interviewed Ann Coulter a few months ago. He truly believes that Tea Party Members are total idiots . He could not understand why someone intelligent as Ann could even hold conversations with Tea Party Members. He appeared truly perplexed at the idea. I was astonished at the boldness he displayed insinuating that such a large group of American people are so stupid that Ann Coulter should not even be associating with them. I, for one, have not turned his show on since. I also attempted, in a fury I might add, to contact his show but was unable to locate a contact email address. A couple of days ago Bob Beckel one of the host from the new Fox Show 'The Five' referred to the Tea Party as anarchists and when asked for a retraction refused and would only read the definition of a anarchist from the dictionary. As for Biden and the rest, they hate the Tea Party, we have shown them that we are united, that we can truly make a change, and we are the only ones they truly have to fear. I agree Billy, a sincere apology is in order from all and a little respect would make a wonderful side dish.

I kinda liked being called a hobbit. It took a hobbit (tea party) to save the world when men, elves and dwarves (politicians) couldn't because the hobbits were not corrupted by the power of the ring (political power and money). I think we need more hobbits. They live peacefully and can all get along just fine. They only come out when they have to (against their will) in order to fix a world gone wrong that they had nothing to do with, when no one else would or could. Sounds like the tea party to me. I will take that moniker.

Jim Ryan.....I was just having the same discussion concerning the legality of the "Hate Speech". I loathe political correctness, and I am quite sure there would be no legal win, but it sure would shine a light on the continued hypocracy of this admin. Speaking of law suits, I still can't understand how we, as a nation, stood by and let the Black Panther suit be swept away with the proverbial tide.

Joe Biden has always been "a little short on intelligence" based upon his rhetoric and speeches from the past. His hair transplants must have drained more of his brain power as his actions and verbage have gone haywire after his hair transplant procedure. Joe get with it. My grandmother told me ," If you can't say something nice about a person, do not say nothing". Mr. Biden you might use this advise from Granny and it might just make you a better individual and/or politician. But then you DC big wigs don't listen to the people as clearly shown by your past actions. This insensitivity to the people you represent will catch up to you in coming elections.

I will be the "TERRORIST" of a socialist trying to change my government anyday! Cliff Stearn's office was notified by-e-that "move-on.org might pickett the O.P. office today. I want to be the principle cast member of their nightmares! Their classless behavior and speech is sooooo out of date, I don't think any one pays attention to them any more. I believe I work to have, not have to work! My way is that of a capitalst; the other is a slave.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
