They will, of course fail. But anybody who thinks the Tea Party doesn't have the potential to become a terrorist movement, should check this out.
They post messages on Twitter using the hashtags #OperationAmericanSpring and #OAS. Their Facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/calling.eagles

We see no reasonable, hopeful sign that indicates there are honorable, loyal, mature, critical thinking, experienced people in government that understands the chaos about to rain down on America, nor do they care....our only hope is that "we the people" call, organize, and draw a few million patriots to stay in D.C. for an "American Spring". It would be the catalyst to draw the line and bring to a conclusion a decision on the out of control government, one way or the other. America will rise up or surrender.........for me, I only go to my knees in the presence of God Almighty...........my knees will not touch the surface as a result of some piss ant occupant of the White House or a corrupt legislator, or outside element...I will fall to my death standing if necessary.
<SNIP>
There is not much time and the only planning necessary is to select a starting date, which we have done, and then show up in Washington, D.C. on that date, and plan to stay for the duration. The goal is restoring the US Constitution as the law of the land, removing the lawless leadership. Will this be a cake-walk? No, it will be painful, and some people may die because the government will not be non-violent; some of us will end up in a cell, and some may be injured. If thats what it will take to save our nation, do we have any choice? Freedom loving Americans will say there is no choice, we must begin the second American Revolution. Not with guns, but with millions of Americans demanding a return to constitutional government and the resignation of Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and Holder as a start...then the constitutional restoration process can begin. An AMERICAN SPRING can be avoided only if the above mentioned officials resign.
Will our national patriot leaders step forward and declare, send me, Ill lead? There are millions of veterans and patriots ready to follow and have said I will go.

(31,017 posts)First fact is that Kenya didn't gain independence from Britain until 1963......2 years after PBO was born. Prior to independence, it was known as British East Africa and / or Kenya Colony. So IF PBO was born there......wouldn't that make him a British citizen. Probably not, but at least a British subject.

Jim Garrow today appeared on Erik Rushs radio show to promote the Operation American Spring rally, where he predicted that President Obama will try to distract Americans from his supposed scandals by claiming that he is now in touch with alien life.
This must be Obamas Plan B, as Garrow previously claimed that Obama almost launched a devastating nuclear attack on the US with the goal of killing 90% of Americans in order to help George Soros make money.
What were going to see soon is an unveiling of the concept that we have in fact been contacted by and have been in communication with people from other civilizations beyond earth and that will be part of the great deception that is forthcoming soon from Mr. Obama, Garrow told Rush.
Another guest, Nancy Smith of the Tea Party news show Politichicks, said she is not shocked by Obamas latest scheme: Personally Ive already heard some other sources saying the very same thing that youre saying.

(637 posts)This is so ridiculous i actually laughed at it.
Phase 1 - Field millions, as many as ten million, patriots who will assemble in a non-violent, physically unarmed (Spiritually/Constitutionally armed), display of unswerving loyalty to the US Constitution and against the incumbent government leadership, in Washington, D.C., with the mission to bring down the existing leadership. Go full-bore, no looking back, steadfast in the mission.
Phase 2 - One million or more of the assembled 10 million must be prepared to stay in D.C. as long as it takes to see Obama, Biden, Reid, McConnell, Boehner, Pelosi, and Attorney General Holder removed from office. The senior republican in the US House of Representatives will become Speaker of the House and the US House of Representatives will elect a temporary President and Vice President of the United States. The U.S. Senate will take action to elect a new majority and minority leader.
As required, the U.S. Congress will execute appropriate legislation to convene new elections or U.S. States will appoint replacements for positions vacated consistent with established constitutional requirements.
Phase 3 Those with the "principles" of a West, Cruz, Dr. Ben Carson, Lee, DeMint, Paul, Gov Walker, Sessions, Gowdy, Jordan, will comprise a tribunal and assume positions of authority to convene investigations, recommend appropriate charges against politicians and government employees to the new U.S. Attorney General appointed by the new President.

Riley: Absolutely....
Riley: We will have a gigantic, massive rally on May 16. Then some of those people will have to go home, they have to work. We will come up with a plan where we keep a large body of patriots there over a long period of time. We've come up with a plan whereby there will be a flow-in weekly.
Colmes: Keep them where? Where will they be exactly?
Riley: They will be all over DC. Wherever they can find a spot to stand, that's where they'll be. Around the White House, around the Capitol, on the Mall, all over.
Colmes: They are just going to be standing and doing what?
Riley: They are going to be there and we will be presenting grievances and our demands. We will wait, we will be there, we will interrupt the traffic, we will interrupt the commerce.
Colmes: You're going to stop the traffic flow, you're going to stop commerce.
Riley: Mhmm.
Colmes: You're going to get in the way of the ingress and egress of people going about their daily business and really get in the way of citizens who through no fault of their own are just happen to be going about their daily lives, right?
Riley: That's the way it is when we're pursuing freedom and liberty for all.
Colmes: So you are actually threatening obstruction?
Riley: What I'm saying is, we're going to shut the city down. You can call it what you want but we're going to do it in a peaceful, non-violent, unarmed manner of citizens expressing our disgust with the deceit, the betrayal and the lies the government has been feeding us the last five years.
Colmes: What's your plan to stop traffic? How are you going to do that?
Riley: We're going to have to be in the streets, that's how we stop it.
Colmes: You're going to be standing in the streets stopping traffic?
Riley: Absolutely.
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/operation-american-spring-hopes-shut-down-washington-freedom
Colmes never calls these guys out on what they say, he always sticks to shallow complaints. I wish he'd asked about this mindset the guy is using, that is ensnaring the baggers, when he says:
Riley: That's the way it is when we're pursuing freedom and liberty for all.
Why Colmes doesn't ask this loon what he means by freedom and liberty for all, IDK. Also he doesn't call it him out on the meme, leaving the impression he can't dispute the wingnut legions when the guy says:
Riley: What I'm saying is, we're going to shut the city down. You can call it what you want but we're going to do it in a peaceful, non-violent, unarmed manner of citizens expressing our disgust with the deceit, the betrayal and the lies the government has been feeding us the last five years.
There wasn no 'deceit...betrayal and the lies' during the Nixon, Reagan and Bush Administration? Only since the black guy got in the White House?
Colmes should have said something. But he didn't, and it's stuff like this that always makes me think he is 'rooting for the other side.'
Riley is recycling the same line as Libertarian Kokesh's reported plans for an open carry event last year in D.C. Which met MSM's meme that 'everyone hates Obama' so they gave it airtime as a 'movement' to not report Obama requesting Congress to repeal the AUMF.
Now they give all credit to Rand Paul this year for that. Which they still have not done. I've come to see MSM as Libertarian owned and operated. A look at the market shows and the kind of reasoning used backs that up, IMO.
This event is Koch funded, they pay for crazy to feed the media and not report what good is being done. Unless we are paying for these stunts just as we pay for Kokesh, who gets 70% disability from the federal governent he wants gone:
Variously identifying as anarchist, agorist, voluntaryist, Kokesh has called for a "new American revolution" for the "orderly dissolution of the federal government."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Kokesh
Go on ahead and get rid of it and the payments and protection government provides for all of those 'authoritarian-loving mooching statists,' just so long as special folks like him keep getting their disability check and health care.
In May of 2013 when Obama asked Congress to repeal the AUMF, the media was all over false flag attack memes. They continued bashing PBO, while Rand, wanted to sanction any country that 'oppressed Christians.'
Iran and Russia were Syria's main financial support for decades, and the ruckus last fall was all about the CWC which the media did not report. Iran ared Syria had not signed onto it at that time. It has not been reported as it was a victory for the environment and peace by PBO.
Since the summit in Moscow, both countries signed onto the CWC with the majority of the world. The media gave credit to Putin as saving the day to prevent war as did many here. EarlG's pic of the day reflected the prevalent media memes at the time:
Is it any wonder the USA looks nuts with what the media puts forth daily?
Fortunately, there is an epidemic of sanity that goes largely unreported. Mainly from this White House.

In the last Presidential election a Republican Presidential candidate actually dismissed half of the citizens in the country he sought higher office. Fortunately he accepted the outcome of the election. To ignore half of the peoples will in your own country is suicidal that is a game the Tea Party radicals seem willing to play. The Tea Party faction has too many stupid enough to think they can influnce the nation with that AR-15 they puchased at Wal-Mart.

I suppose in reality 10's of people will show up, they will sit outside the Whitehouse like last time with Klayman's KKK rally, read of a bunch of bogus "charges" and claim they were victorious while chanting USA and waving their flags.

TAXES: Musicians entertain tax protesters
Rock band, Rapper delight dozens at the Buffalo Tea Party
By Erica Allen
E-mail Erica
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
BUFFALO It was an afternoon full of teabags, tax anger and tunes at Club W yesterday in downtown Buffalo. Grunge metal newcomers Il Eagles and Canadian-born hip-hop sensation Chuggo dazzled a larger than expect crowd of approximately 75 tax protesters who gathered at the bar to vent their frustration at President Barack Obamas tax policies.
Participants in what was dubbed the Buffalo Tea Party demonstrated genuine enthusiasm for the event, and the late announced musical accompaniment of Il Eagles and Chuggo only helped to add a sense of excitement for those who came.
Club W serves the best chicken strip appetizers in town, said Tony Marceski, 58, of Hamburg. I dont know if it is the cornflake breading on it, but once I heard this tea party was going to be held at Club W, I knew I had to be here.
First on stage was the rock band, Il Eagles, a Missouri based act who the St. Louis Riverfront Times once described as having a bluesy-funk sound and heralded as possibly being the next Oasis. Mustachioed Il Eagles lead singer Tom Moran came fully dressed for the part, sporting an American flag bandana, sunglasses and a tee-shirt of his hometown baseball team, the St. Louis Cardinals.
