OUTRAGE – Capitol Police to Tea Party: Show Us Your Websites or Forget Your Rally
2013-06-06
[Gateway Pundit] The Tea Party Patriots were planning a rally in Washington DC on Wednesday June 19th. But they ran into a wall. The IRS Capitol Police want to see their websites first.
Your websites please, your websites.
Kevin Mooneyhan from the Tea Party Patriots described this latest Tea Party challenge:
Mooneyhan, Mooneyhan....? Sounds like a Chinese cult, check it out Rico, then bring the car around.
Below is the timeline of events surrounding our June 19th rally at the Capitol. We havenÂ’t done anything to publicize this event yet because we wanted to make sure we had the permit in hand. You know, follow the rules, do the right thing, etc.
"Following the rules" only works where the rule of law exists.

#21  Mandarinate works. But a more Western word already applies.....

....CLERISY.

TW, feel free to use it as you see fit. I trust you.

#20  Hear, hear no mo uro! I do have a modest suggestion. IMO, we should start referring to all these "public servants" as Mandarinate.

#19  Is Detroit the model being replicated in D.C. for the country?

#18  The government in Washington is not the U.S.A. The current administration is perhaps the greatest threat our country has ever been exposed to. It assiduously rots away like a cancer at our freedoms and Constitution from within.

#17  What you're talking about Dale has already been attempted. It was called apartheid, and it was eventually defeated through sheer numbers and politics. The jobs, wealth, and property were systematically redistributed. You are correct, it won't happen here.

#16  When the money stops flowing all of this stuff will be going. The Dem's want the poor, They want minorities. They will get nothing from them other than their vote. So cities and areas under their control will fail due to lack of funds. They have attracted takers not givers. Their schools will close. Medical will leave. Repairs will stop. Unions in these areas will lose big time. People will leave these areas and spread their poison elsewhere like a virus. UN-infected areas should have a firewall to restrict entry to prevent spreading the virus. To become a local citizen they must abide a agreement. Like a temporary visa to earn the right to join this healthy community. No political leadership positions for say five years. Just a thought. It won't happen. The money will run out first.

#15  No mo uro, would you mind if I shared your rant with a few individuals beyond the Burg? As coming from "a business owner I know", of course.

#14  -practicing lawyers, who are, after all, de facto public employees

I meant to include that as well - over the years the IRS has piled on 'preparer penalties', revised Circular 230 (guideline of CPA's & other tax professionals who practice before the IRS) once or twice in their favor (natch) and other changes (too many to mention) to the regulations and the like, slowly but surely making us de facto revenue agents.

#13  If I didn't have an accountant [CPA] doing my taxes, I would have been jailed long ago. I'm not just "bad at maths", the process is far beyond my knowledge and abilities. My tax lady is money well spent.

#12  -people who work in rent-seeking "private" businesses, things like OSHA compliance outfits and the like.

Don't forget CPA's like myself, who voted for McCain & Romney, who deal with the IRS on a near-daily basis, who enjoys fighting prick revenue agents every step of the way and who hate these SOB's at least as much as you.

#11  "Greed of the recipients" as you have referenced, or a entitlement mindset is a learned trait, acquired through generational welfare and public education. People are not born greedy or possessing an entitlement mentality. Over many decades they have been systematically indoctrinated. These people are not only the recipients of extortion, but the lieutenants and enforcers as well. Their political party is also their union and protector.

I have no idea where all of this will lead, but my suspicion is it will not end through the legitimate rule of law, or peacefully. Eventually the tent poles will snap and darkness will result. So-called "economic justice" was only the beginning. The end game is a total cultural reformation and the putting away of western civilization.

#10  Besoeker, a commenter on one of the PJM blogs recently made the assertion that we now exist in a time when essentially every public sector worker (very rare exceptions) and every grant recipient and every rent-seeker at every level of government is a part of a criminal enterprise, a protection-racket extortion ring that will use any and all means to keep the racket going.

Like many commenters here and elsewhere, I long bought into the notion that there was primarily a philosophical drive for the rot we are experiencing, but I now understand that while important, the true believers are just a sideshow. It is the greed of the recipients of public largesse that are the main problem. Defang that and the others will return to being annoying twits.

#8  At the same time, he's also accelerated and deepened the illegitimacy of national government. Like so many before him, he can't see beyond the nearby time line to anticipate black swan events that history has a habit of throwing out in front of 'leaders' who suddenly find themselves and their strap hangers very much alone when no one shows up to save their ass. There's a gulf of difference between tolerating the rule of crooks and the willingness to give that 'last full measure of devotion'.

#7  Someone should apply for a permit for the same place and time under the name 'Occupy Washington' and see how quick it gets approved (and this existing Patriots application denied).

#6  A meta-analysis of the what the Obama administration actually represents gives us insight into all ot these attacks, and the press blackouts of any information which might reflect negatively on the administration, and the public union cops' efforts to stop this demonstration.

Ultimately, the Obama administration is an outward manifestation of the desire by recipients of government moneys to keep the money flowing in an uninterrupted fashion regardless of the consequences to our country and civilization.

The Obama adminstration, and the actions it has taken like the IRS abuse of the tax code and the recent actions by the DC police, are actually desired outcomes for:

-nearly all non-military public workers at all levels of government

-public pensioners

-grant recipients, particularly (but not limited to) in the fields of ecology, fisheries management, and "climate change"

-recipients of the various welfare programs

-practicing lawyers, who are, after all, de facto public employees

-people who work in rent-seeking "private" businesses, things like OSHA compliance outfits and the like.

These people are not upset, and never will be, at actions like the IRS intimidation of limited government groups, or the capitol police refusing to allow the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of such individuals and groups to peaceably assemble. Quite the contrary, they view these actions as the reason why they voted for Obama in the first place - to keep limited government types from gaining the traction to have enough influence to threaten their magic government paychecks.

Obama is their hired thug, their protection-racket soldier who will save their beautiful guaranteed government income stream from ever being interrupted. There is literally no immoral act, no amount of thuggery, no abrogation of rights that will bother them, as long as the outcome is that the check shows up in perpetuity for them. And I mean just that - there is NO act - violence against conservatives is not far away, if the magic checks seem threatened enough.

Understand that and you understand the actions of these cops, of the IRS, and pretty much everything else this administration has done.

#1  At this point I would say, "Fuck Them".

Stage your rally, and if they move in and arrest you then film it, distribute it through the bloggers and sue.

They only win if you stay silent.
