The RINOs in the Republican Party has convinced themselves that niceness, ethnic inclusiveness, and good old Gee Oh Pee manners will win over even the most close-fisted Democrats.

The RINOs will never understand that it takes a WARRIOR with fire in the belly to defeat the Commies that run now the Democrat Party.

Yup, bunch of pantie waists.

The question is: "Can we reduce the number of Federal RINOs in 2014 to a level where we can control the Republican Party between 2014 and 2016?"

Let's hope so, that would be a good start!

Well, he said a lot of good things that I agree with. The Rubio/Cornyn kudos I could have skipped. But he and anyone that wants to ‘move forward’ has to get over the pie in the sky idea that we are one people who can work together. We are not and cannot.

That’s the mental hurdle that has to be surmounted. The moderates help the dems and the dems hate America. The facts on the ground show this to be the case. There is no ‘coming together’ with the enemy. You ‘defeat’ the enemy. You make the enemy live by your rules. And those rules are enshrined in the BOR and Constitution.

There’s the blueprint. There are mo miracles that make libs see the light. They won’t. They deny it. And after years of trying, it should be obvious to all that they are doing everything in their power to NOT come together.

It is past time to stop trying and to start dealing with reality as it is. Not as we want it to be. And to do that, we should end any and all support for the RINO wing that has allowed this fiasco to get to where it is now.

Senator Cruz said to those who were tight with over the Government shut down....that the American People do not yet realize how close we are to taking over the Republican Party. Which is why they obviously pushed back hard and continue to do so.

Cuomo has helped immensely by ticking off the Catholics. When they get mad they get mad. Viz. the abortifacient mandate—over 60 lawsuits and some are progressing nicely.

He was what was determined to soften and lessen our stance Internationally....in other words weaken our power and occupy us on social issues rather than pay any attention to the Game playing out overseas where everything is now moving and being set up.

Understand that in order for World Financial markets to be set and sustained it has to include the oil rich ME countries...The Globalist have to include them for the revenue sources they will generate...and those nations have to be lead by those the Globalists think they can control to some degree., and by those that have a strong presence in each nation..... The Muslim Brotherhood has this throughout the ME which is why our government, and others who are a part of the Global Agenda supported them,...it has backfired so far....but they aren’t done yet.

The Arab Spring did not happen because people there wanted Freedom and Democracy......it happened, and in sequence, in order to dislodge the leadership which would ‘not’ go along with the Globalist Agenda. (Gadaffi, Mubarak, and now Syria’s leadership...all resisted and refused to comply...and they’re pretty much gone...... Toppling Assad ment dealing with Russia/Putin and why we see so many cards being played with him and by him. Syria will become a heap of nothingness in time for Russia isn’t about to loose it’s port nor it’s boundary with Syria.

Oh there’s a lot of twists and turns happening overseas but it’s with a purpose and managed as much as possible. SAme with the USA.

Agreed. We are not one people. There is no one shared ideology. Some you will never win over.

I have no friends who think like bho nor do I want them. They are my enemy and I hate what they stand for. I do not even defend their right to be as they are. They have overstepped the bounds of civility and coexistence when they do not accept me my rights my freedom but impose their choices on me and take my freedoms and my treasure. I cannot think of one common love I share with them.

Gosh only 761 people listened to the speech at least on You Tube. That is horrible. They should have had all three speeches on the TV.

From Lee’s follow-up:
“It is important to note, however, that had the founding generation stopped at just protesting against the kind of government Americans did not want...”

Not sure what his meaning here is. If he wants us to keep protesting to bring change to DC and HOPE that this CHANGE will trickle down to the rest of America.

OR, time to man up and start smelling some burning powder and blood.

Personally, I believe elections will never fix what is broke. There are too many takers and not enough producers left.

The weeds in America need to be mowed to bring the balance back

For me, not so awesome.

There was much to like about the speech. It was good overall, but here are the points that concern me (from memory):

1. He talks a lot about income inequality as if it were a bad thing. This plays into the class envy that the dems love so much. There will always be income equality and I see nothing wrong with it unless it is the product of cronyism or government stealing from the middle class to further enrich the already rich. Otherwise income inequality comes from inequality in hard work and willingness to take risks. Some of it comes from inequality in intelligence, skills, talent, good looks, and luck. If we were all exactly equal with no hope of getting ahead, no one would make an effort to get ahead and we would have no innovation or advancement.

2. He recites a litany of bills being introduced to address various problems. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Typical politician. Introduce another bill to fix things. I didn’t hear any mention of repealing crappy legislation that we’ve already been saddled with. I didn’t hear any mention of getting the government off our backs and out of our lives. Just more bills to fix what the earlier bills screwed up.

3. De rigueur mention of “diversity.” He still has to be politically correct and pander. IMO, “diversity” is just as often a weakness as it is a strength. Maybe more often. Diverse ideas are great when groupthink prevents innovation or sometimes even recognition of reality and facts. Diverse ideas are great when you are brainstorming. (But when you are finished brainstorming, you pick the winners and discard the losers. Please note that I am not advocating discarding the “losers” when they are people. This is not code for eugenics or anything like that. I am talking about ideas. But I also believe that employers should be free to hire based on ideas (education, skills, competence) and not on quotas for “diversity.”) Diverse ideas are a disaster when you have to entertain every hare-brained idea because you don’t want to risk hurting someone’s feelings. Balance is key. Having diversity foisted on us for the sake of political correctness is a bad idea.

Those were the main 3 negatives that struck me. They are not unique to Lee or the Tea Party. They are promoted much more strongly by the left. I’m hoping the Tea Party will move away from those positions.

Google owned Youtube took down that video with the excuse “it is too long”

Meanwhile people regularly post 10 hour videos...

Um, the way you repeal legislation is to introduce a bill.

Senator Mike Lee's Response to the State of the Union Address

Gosh only 761 people listened to the speech at least on You Tube

I never saw a number over 301, and it always stayed at that even after refreshing.

You Tube always messes with the numbers so Conservative messages won't seem so massively popular.

At the Tea Party Express website streaming there were over 2000 people "watching" before it even started.

It got a lot of attention.

FOX NEWS is so controlled by Rove and other turds (that was GWB's nickname for him) I saw virtually no mention of Lee's TPX speech.

FOX had Rand Paul on at the same time hoping to draw Republicans away from Lee's message.

Rand did his usual speech but did mention that Lee did well [but did not mention he gave a substantial rebuttal to Obama's lies nor that it was the annual Tea Party response to the SOTU---which BTW last year Rand Paul did it. IMO he has now shed his Tea Party persona to become part of the GOP-e. He wants to be invited back.

Rove, Obama, Fox News overlords, all turds blossoming from steaming piles.

[Disclaimer: Rove was nicknamed Turd Blossom after stinky flowers that grow out of...well...defecation. Who knew when named that he would gravitate to the blossom dying and become 100% ****?]

Thanks onyx, much better and easier to watch archived on Lee’s website.

All the dead air and other “noise” edited out.

We did get it back up for this thread. A poster found it where You Tube hid it and I had the mods put it in the link at the top.

He did quite well!

A “friend” of mine at work was laughing at me (he knows that I am a big time Obama hater and a supporter of the Tea Party) because I guess on the news this morning the media people were laughing about, how the Republicans showed so many speeches that they are all in little groups and aren’t together at all. I was not in the mood to hear it so just ignored him, but normally he would not be like that because news in the morning is usually not an issue, but we had a snow delay so he probably watched one of the alphabet soup morning shows.
