A new website has appeared that should earn the support of tea-party critics such as CNN's Anderson Cooper and his compatriots: CrashTheTeaParty.org.
It beckons, "Let's get to work. This Tea Party isn't going to destroy itself … Or is it."
But whether the website succeeds remains to be seen, because a random assortment of visitors to the new site so far haven't been enamored.
"Just TRY to show up at the rallies! We've got your number. We have LOTS of security. And many veterans, Oathkeepers and other well qualified people who can spot phonies, trouble-makers, SEIU thugs – and MORONS – very quickly," wrote one forum contributor.
"We outnumber you and we are well organized. News of this site is spreading virally as we SPEAK and our goal is to VANQUISH you before you even get started!"
Another eloquently expressed his – or her – innermost feelings, with: "….belch!"
The site was reporting 173 users online this afternoon, and at least one was someone with a liberal perspective.
"Seriously, y'all... this is so not a good idea. It will get out that the liberal fringe is trying to disrupt and dismantle the Tea Party and not only will it make us look *so* bad, it will only fire up the crazies you're fighting against. Leave them alone. Let their self-importance grow. Let them nominate somebody. Because do you know what it means when The Tea Party becomes an official 3rd party? It means the Dems win."
But the browbeating wasn't over.

Well said, imho.
More power to us as we do.
Would like us to be MOST effective than just some effective . . . and by all varieties of means and styles.
I believe every Patriot should
AVOID the use of:
PROGRESSIVES. USE THE ACCURATE WORD: REGRESSIVES
ABORTION. USE THE ACCURATE WORD: INFANTICIDE
LIBERALS. USE THE ACCURATE WORDS: COMMUNISTS, GLOBALISTS, SOCIALISTS.
AVOID allowing the enemy to define the words.
Sigh.
I have to agree, that if we could ever pull that off it would be ....chilling.
Thanks for your kind affirmation.
That’s my sense, anyway.
Yes, the battle is The Lord's, but we are there to do His work.
Yes, I understand that we are here to do His work. So many times when I say “the battle is the Lord's” people think I mean that we should sit on our hands...but I do not mean to sit and do nothing - listen to David as he speaks to Goliath...
Read 1 Samuel 17 - ...Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and He will give you into our hands.”
If, however the front ranks conspicuously had their mouths' closed, it would be far harder to claim anyone spat or hurled epithets at anyone.
I agree. Those who are strong enough to stand with their mouths closed, should be on the front lines and around the entire perimeter. I say the entire perimeter because that is where the media will be and that is where trouble will be.
Thanks for writing.
I figured that you had to be an old-time freeper because you are willing to exchange ideas.
When I first arrived at Free Republic, we did that. There was a certain amount of the echo chamber effect, as will be found in any gathering of like minded people, but at the core we were seeking information and answers, drawing on each other's knowledge, experience, and expertise in an enormously wide array of occupations, past and present, dispersed over a wide geographic area which takes in much of the globe.
Some of us still engage in such pursuits, and by the weighing and evaluation of ideas, no matter the credentials of their authors, we still find creative solutions to the difficulties which assail us all, from avoiding disease, to gardening, survival, computer problesm, and even dealing with the actions of malicious moonbats who assail us as we are assembled.
When we come up with the perfect strategy for dealing with the baseless assertions of our opponents in the political arena, even if those in opposition know about it they will not be able to employ an effective counter strategy.
Sure, we are all aggravated, but it would be impossible for the MSM to dub over silence, for them to add the sound of someone who is obviously either a fantastic ventriloquist or is simply not speaking.
I have seen the 'silent treatment' in action. Imagine how it would twist the heads of the Left if a hundred thousand people or more were to assemble on the mall without any more than a murmur, and stand silently in protest. They are petulent children, imagine how they would have reacted to their mother diong the same--not speaking to them when she was seriously aggravated.
Any misbehaviour, any frothing at the mouth on tape would be theirs, not ours. WOrds of true and unbridled hatred, intended to provoke a response would be theirs.
There is something potent and powerful in that idea, in the intimidation of a huge group of silent people, and the more I think aobut it, the more I like it.
Some have mistaken silence for the bleating of sheep. Far from it! Most herd animals make a lot of noise on a calm day.
Though this thought is not intended as, nor should it be construed as a threat, it is the predators who walk silently, who study their prey, who bide their time until the time is right, not like the victims who bleat along until dinner.
I have seen a lot of wild-eyed ideas, even come up with a couple of my own, and discarded them as something which does more damage to the cause of restoring the Republic by peaceful means than good.
If, of necessity, we become embroiled in violent conflict, the results will be ugly indeed--especially if we give those whom we oppose the excuse to move first.
Few have thought of the destruction and slaughter as those of us who spent our formative years in States where the War Between the States took place, noting the absence of antebellum structures because of the torches which swept them from the earth.
In these times when people are even more ill-equipped, mentally and physically to provide for themselves and their families, the picture would be grim indeed, with stragglers fighting bitterly over a few weeks at most of supplies, and then...then what?
Inevitable starvation.
The arrival of the Government aid, slavery, the camps and worse.
How foolish to play into such a scenario prematurely if at all.
How many have enough food on their block to feed it for a week? a month? six months? or could even feed their families that long?
Do they have the means to heat their homes, cook their food (assuming they have some) and to protect all that from the inevitable marrauders who would seek to take that and so much more?
There is much written in the history of the last rising against Washington, and while such talk may sound and feel good to some, a study of the logistics involved and the changes to the basic paradigm of conflict requires reevaluation of the desireability of following that course.
I, too detest the socialists in our government, and the damage they have done this beloved Republic which has been my family's home since well before its inception. I am not willing to burn the village to save it, but seek a better way to restore that which should be.
Playing into the hands of our foes is not the answer, nor is giving them cause to attack us.
Sure, there is a time and place for all forms of protest, but to really get their attention, it will take something different, not violence, but different. Silence can speak volumes.
Yes, FRiend, there would be. Especially when one considers that most liberals are petulent children, getting the 'silent treatment' would be deeply disturbing to them, not to mention the uberliberal.
I didn’t see any incidents at our Fresno, CA “Central Valley Tea Party” today...I did have a rather animated discussion with some “9/11 Truthers” while waiting to get in!

INDEED.
Only Conservatives could be that disciplined. Americans are not USED to being silent about much of anything—even their farts.
But they’d sure have to make up their minds to BE SO for whatever period of time set for it.

I also believe we would do well to prayerfully seek God's face about all His creative ideas for His vivid directions/actions for us at this time.
I do not believe that--well--let me qualify that--Sometimes I have a notion that He is going to sieve things. I don't understand how that would jive with every Scripture but there's lots of ambiguity on such matters, it seems to me.
What if He is going to sieve the evil doers out . . . and somehow along-side . . . begin establishing His kingdom . . . amidst the turmoil and tribulation? Not, maybe as overtly as we'd hope . . . particularly early on . . . but first in the spiritual realm . . . on earth . . . and then increasingly in the tangible realm.
The meek SHALL inherit the earth. Not the wimps. The trusting, confident, boldly still-before-Almighty-God humble, of contrite heart before Him.
Be still and see the Salvation of The Lord. The battle IS The Lord's . . . certainly primarily . . . He has tasks for us to do--but one of them is NOT running off half-cocked.
Marching around Jerico silently. Then breaking pots and blowing trumpets. What a scenario!
Sending soldiers home who drank water from the river one way. Reducing the army to 300--a fraction of the oponents.
HE DELIGHTS TO DISPLAY !!!!HIS!!!! GLORY! He seems to love doing it novel, creative, startlingly unexpected and preposterous ways.
An idea is floating across my mind . . . what if everyone wore brown. Not a lively rust brown but dead brown tones. I wouldn't want black as that's too much the enemy's tones and goals. But brown. Or dreadful gray. A mass of silent brown or gray. Would be interesting. Particularly if faces and heads were covered as well . . . say with brown or gray sheer something easy to see through.
Perhaps at a given signal at a set time, everyone could doff their head coverings and SHOUT: !!!!ENOUGH!!!!, !!!!ENOUGH!!!!, !!!!ENOUGH!!!! and then silently disband.
I also am convinced . . . we are not just saying THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS. It REALLY IS.
At some points, in some ways, HE WILL DRAMATICALLY SHOW UP.
I believe He will show up dramatically in support of those of us willing to lay aside our own ego driven agendas and focus on HIS priorities.
Another interesting conclusion of the silence might be group recitation of THE 23RD PSALM--perhaps quietly--at just above a whisper . . . except for the line about THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH--which would be shouted.
Anyway--interesting times. Let us not be slavishly addicted to past ways of handling such things.
Particularly let us not be foolishly slavish to flesh driven emotions sparking unwise options.
Smokin' Joe - your words warmed my heart - they are the words of an open-minded man who is seeking truth.
Quix - you see the work that needs to be done and you do it...I like you.
God bless both of you. btw: If either of you know a freeper named 2111USMC, please encourage him because he has a part to play in helping others understand that - the Battle is the Lord's.
Thanks for your touchingly kind words, yet again.
I don’t know
2111USMC;
but will keep an eye out for him.
May God bless and guide him in all he does.
Thanks for the ping!
bttt
White, no veils or hoods, for we need not hide our faces, unlike many who oppose us.
Virtually any color could be said to be making some statement, Red: republicans, or even communists (a little farther back); black: mourning, something racial (I'm sure the press could gin up something)--hot, too, in the sun; brown: the obvious connection with the bundt--no go; green: too tree hugger and currently nauseatingly overused; yellow (without the gadsen flag image): thinkaboutit, we aren't yellow; gray: the storybook image of the Confederacy (not the actual butternut brown) we know where they would go with that; blue: Can't think of anything offhand, white: traditional color of purity, but easily stained by coffee, chilli dogs and the like...
Everything would need to be thought out in advance, otherwise, someone will surely distort it and use it against us.
Particularly let us not be foolishly slavish to flesh driven emotions sparking unwise options.
Cooler heads will prevail. Everyone should read their Sun Tsu, too.
You are so right - Sarah and Michelle didn’t pull any punches and their words, being inspired by God I believe, did strike fear into the hearts of the devils in Washington, DC. “The Kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violent take it by force”. There is a time for peace and a time for war (Ecclesiastes). And faith, WITHOUT works is DEAD!! You must demonstrate your faith and take back what the devil has stolen and is continuing to steal. He is a Liar, Theif and Destroyer. God is the absolutely ally of His People and I think it’s clear that He has given his instructions. I see it the way you do. CO
Absolutely right. It shows HOW God fought the battle for His people. He sent them INTO battle at which time they were being approached by a well armed much larger army. God instructed them to start singing praises to Him and it sent the army of God’s enemies into total confusion at which point they starting stabbing and killing each other until they had wiped themselves out. The battle was won without a single injury to God’s people but they still had to go INTO the battle as if they were going to fight it out warrior style. I LOVE that example in the Scriptures and since God is the same yesterday, today and forever, the pattern does not change. CO
Sister you need to operate in Faith not Fear. God will fight for His own. He is able to see to it that “No weapon against you (His People) will prosper. CO
What God indicates in Scriptures is that He expects His People to DO what is in the power of their hands to DO. Everything else is done by God. CO
