On the Tea Party ladies singing, "God Bless America". You can't make something like that up.

And there is PICTURES! And Video! This is freaking hilarious.
How embarrassing for Barack.

You know those old ladies singing, "God Bless America" strikes fear into the hearts of many.

You know...I remember 1968, when the Democrats found out what it was like to be on the receiving end of the protests they thought were so quintessentially American when they were protesting Republicans.

Of course, it seems like most of those old protesters have since joined the Democrats, and once again, they're finding out what it's like when groups like Code Pink, which they loved so much when it was protesting Bush, is replaced by the Tea Party protests against Obama.

Karma is a *****, they say.

From YOUR link:

There were a few tense moments when the crowd moved west down York toward Third Street after the president’s motorcade arrived. A Secret Service agent asked the crowd to move back across the street to the north side.

When the crowd didn’t move and began singing “God Bless, America” and the national anthem, Quincy Deputy Police Chief Ron Dreyer called for members of the Mobile Field Force to walk up the street.

The officers, mainly from Metro East departments near St. Louis and dressed in full body armor, marched from the east and stood on the south side of York facing the protesters


Hoft makes the point that the protestors were not only peaceful, but looked the part as well with many grandmothers and oldsters in attendance. They may have been peaceful but not following the clear, lawful orders of the authorities to move to the other side of the street unnecessarily raised the temperature of those who swore an oath to give their life in defense of the person of the President of the United States.


They DID follow orders to move to the other side of the street, they just didn't move FAST enough, geesh, give them a break, they are old, they move a little slower than young people.

I know, I know, old ladies singing "God Bless America" are a frightening thing for many liberals to behold.
Don't worry, they meant no harm.

Have to love that video of the SWAT team, in FULL BODY ARMOR, marching, lock step, down the street. They had a really hard time of it yesterday boy, those old ladies can be fiesty.

No they did not move when asked to do so by the Secret Service. Instead they dug in their heels and started to sing. Maybe these grannies thought it was cute to be bad golden girls, maybe they are the types who used to smoke in the bathroom in school, maybe they are wannabe martyrs, but the fact is that if the Secret Service tells you to move, you move. If you don't, they follow their protocol. A tempest in a teapot, picked up on by archconservative bloggers looking for something to legitimize their ranting.

The librels and Obama hate the Tea Partiers - because they tell the truth and he doesn't want the public to know the truth behind his mask. So they paint the TP as being bad - the TP is made up of normal everyday people who just want their country and freedoms back - that's all. We don't want to be living under a socialist government - the one Obama wants to create for America.

Open your eyes peopel - SEE what really is going on.

I saw the film of the Desperados this morning....scared me.:lol3 I much prefer the jack booted thugs that our illustrious Eric Holder refused to press charges against when they appeared outside a voting booth in a threatening manner.

Someone should lock these TP thugs up. They might actually be widows of WW2 vets. There may have actually been a veteran or 2 there.

How sad.

Where were these people when Bush was illegally wiretapping and creating a very expensive, unfunded drug plan? I didn't see Tea Party Grannies out protesting that one.

Or, they might be Russian instigators. Did they provide proof of citizenship? They had "official contact" with law enforcement. And they look just like Russians

BTW the definition of "socialism" (which is where we are headed under Obama) is FORCED sharing of all you have. While we should be willing to help each other, when the government takes everything you have and "redistributes" it, that is socialism.

Why can't people see what they are doing - taking over EVERY thing you do one by one.

Then we should do away with ALL the social programs we've had for years, right? Evil, evil social programs!

This administration is the "straw that broke the camels back". Obamas famous quote to Joe the Plummer....spread the wealth.

It takes a lot for the American people to get riled up. But I think they have finally come out of their coma.

Well, I look at it this way, every day that passes is one less day of Obama. Hopefully this country can tread water until he is out of office. But his legacy will be one of "fundamentally changing this country".

God save us.

About half the country were sure that Bush would destroy the country. About half are sure that Obama will destroy the country. It survived Bush, it'll survive Obama. Simple case of shoe/other foot.

The "riled up Americans" are simply the opposing view counterparts of the Bush era anti-war protesters, and not much more effective, and not in any significantly greater numbers.

I'm sure Obama supporters would love to have this go away FAST. It's not every day we have an American President calling out the S.W.A.T. team, in FULL BODY ARMOR, on a bunch of "grannies" singing "God Bless America."

FTR, the Tea Party didn't exist during the Bush Presidency so I think it would have been a bit difficult to expect the Tea Party to protest Bush.

And, also, FTR, Barack has extended the Patriot Act and the broadened the scop of warrantless wiretapping. Maybe I should be asking liberals why THEY aren't out protesting Barack for doing MORE than what Bush did.

Quote:
Friday evening, in a motion to dismiss Jewel v. NSA, EFF's litigation against the National Security Agency for the warrantless wiretapping of countless Americans, the Obama Administration made two deeply troubling arguments.

First, they argued, exactly as the Bush Administration did on countless occasions, that the state secrets privilege requires the court to dismiss the issue out of hand. They argue that simply allowing the case to continue "would cause exceptionally grave harm to national security." As in the past, this is a blatant ploy to dismiss the litigation without allowing the courts to consider the evidence.

It's an especially disappointing argument to hear from the Obama Administration. As a candidate, Senator Obama lamented that the Bush Administration "invoked a legal tool known as the 'state secrets' privilege more than any other previous administration to get cases thrown out of civil court." He was right then, and we're dismayed that he and his team seem to have forgotten.

Sad as that is, it's the Department Of Justice's second argument that is the most pernicious. The DOJ claims that the U.S. Government is completely immune from litigation for illegal spying — that the Government can never be sued for surveillance that violates federal privacy statutes.

This is a radical assertion that is utterly unprecedented. No one — not the White House, not the Justice Department, not any member of Congress, and not the Bush Administration — has ever interpreted the law this way.

Please see above post to katachtig.

I posted plenty of links for the Link Police, but have to post one more goodie.
When it comes from the Huff-Po and New York Times, two WELL known liberal sites, then you KNOW it has to be true.

I don't think anyone is saying we should do away with all social programs in this country. But I think people seem to be saying, (at least I know I am) that there has to be a saturation point.
The social programs we do have could and should be run better.

The question I ask is, have the social programs that have been in place for decades helped at all? Have they made a difference in people's lives?
Have they helped anyone climb out of poverty? I am all for social programs that give a helping hand PROVIDING the person getting the help is willing to meet me half way. I don't think that is to much to ask, do you?

FTR, I am NOT talking about the people that are totally handicapped, whether physically or mentally and who are NOT ABLE to help themselves.

It is not a deflection. It goes to the point of these people's hypocrisy. If they were so concerned about losing freedoms and getting socialist programs, where were these people during the Bush administration? They are only upset because a Democrat passed the Health bill. If it has been a Republican, we would not be hearing from these Tea Party Grannies.

The two largest programs, Medicare and Social Security, are killing us, but I doubt any of these Tea Partiers are going to advocate cutting either of the programs. If they were really concerned about Socialism hurting this country, they would advocate real reform here.

I'll raise my hand and say yes. But I don't have any statistics to support my answer, only my personal experience,

I was raised by a single mom back in the 60s and 70s where the only recourse against deadbeat dads was to put them in jail, which didn't help if they decided not to pay child or alimony. I grew up well below the poverty level and yes we got welfare and bought our groceries with foodstamps. I would have been eligible to get free lunches in high school too but I didn't want the other kids to know how poor we were.

My mother took a course to learn to become a printer and got a job at a newspaper typesetting. When the paper folded she took a course to become a machinist and got a job on the tool crib at one of the local machine shops. She worked the night shift and managed to buy a house - not a fancy one, but still she put a roof over her and my head - with the good wages she was finally able to earn. Not bad for a woman with only a high school diploma.

My mother and I needed a break and we got one. I don't think my mother misused it and I made darn sure I got an education that would serve me my whole life. Nowadays I think we would have gotten more help going after my father but I'll say yes it did help us, and maybe that has influenced how I look at some of these programs.

And where are the liberals now that Barack is going even FURTHER with the Warrantless Wiretaps? Tit for tat my friend.

I think the answer is, the Tea Party is not concerned with government efforts to curtail terrorism, the Tea Party agenda is all about fiscal responsibility. While Bush lost his fiscal responsibility and spent way to much, the Obama administration has taken it to a whole new level.

I'm sure many Tea Party people wouldn't mind in the least (I know I wouldn't) if Medicare and Social Security was totally scrapped as long as we are reimbursed the money + reasonable interest that we paid in.

And your mother is one of the BEST reasons for Social programs. She had incentive and motivation to help herself and just needed a helping hand. I have the utmost respect for people like your mother.

Now back to the topic of the thread, which is,

Team Obama sets the Goons on the Geezers.

The world is laughing at Barack for being such a wimpy fraidy cat of the grannies singing God Bless America that he has to call in the SWAT Team.

The video of them marching, lock step down the street is PRICELESS.

This is one for posterity. If Barack is this scared of some little old grannies, I can see why he is not securing our borders as he promised he would do.

http://sharpelbowsstl.blogspot.com/ Best link EVER to all the video's of Barack's goon squad and tea party grannies.

See link for video of proof that the Tea Party grannies DID follow the authorities directions to move. The only comeback to this embarrassing debacle for Barack has been, "the grannies wouldn't move" ha ha ha, great comeback, sorry it's not true, they did move.

Also in the same video is the lock-stepping march of the SWAT Team.
It doesn't get much better than this folks.

But was it really Obama who called out the SWAT team? Did he issue the order himself? Or maybe it was an overly anxious Secret Service who first failed miserably by letting those reality show wanna-bes into a high profile dinner and were dealing with a recent incident with an armed man showing up, wanting to see Obama.

One can surely see how an "armed man showing up, wanting to see Obama" on a different day, in a different state could easily be be confused by Secret Service as related to white haired grannies singing "God Bless America."

That is about as far fetched as it gets IMO.

The Secret Service are being blamed though, from what I have heard.

I guess the Secret Service didn't think they could handle a group of grannies singing "God Bless America" and felt they needed help.

It's not even as if Obama was personally involved other than having been present. The decision was made by the local police.

And as I recall, "Squeaky" Fromme didn't look very threatening.
Or how about this sweet looking granny - recognize her?
