What the hell would I be "spoofing"? The tea party? I'm a proud member of the Tea Party and the We Surround Them/912 Project.

http://www.the-912-project.com/2009/03/14/we-surround-them-the-912-project/

The 9 in the 912 stands for the 9 basic principles that America was founded around:

  1. America is Good.
  2. I believe in God and he is the Center of my life.
  3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
  4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
  5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
  6. I have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
  7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
  8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
  9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
The 12 in 912 symbolizes the 12 values that we as Americans should live by:
  1. Honesty
  2. Reverence
  3. Hope
  4. Thrift
  5. Humility
  6. Charity
  7. Sincerity
  8. Moderation
  9. Hard Work
  10. Courage
  11. Personal Responsibility
  12. Gratitude
It's shocking how you liberals can do nothing but mock America and her Patriots. I suggest you all find a local Tea Party group and start attending so you can find out what being an American is really about.

So, the short answer would be "Yes".


Whew...thought so......

Whether or not the OP is spoofing (I thought 912 was Glen Beck's project to bring back the unified spirit we felt immediately after 9/11) there is no way any sane American can watch that video without a great deal of anger towards those protesting clowns, especially as they drape themselves with my country's flag and claim they are Americans.

They are the political equivalent of Westboro Church.

I've made the observation that either way is possible. I mean if you compare him to those 'protestors'... it's not exactly out of the realm of possibility.

Edit: Also some of the other conservative posters at ATPN.

I wonder if these tea partiers know that the original modern tea party was held by people who would find this protesting disgusting. I can only assume they don't.


Who are you kidding? Bigotry is as American as apple pie and the members of the original Tea Party were mostly bigoted WASPS just as they are today. These were not the intellectual founding fathers who sometimes debated freeing the slaves, but the rowdy brawlers of their time who chose easy targets to vent their frustration on.

I do not talk to too many people who consider themselves to be Tea Partiers. So is this video representative of that group or does it show the actions of a small group in this one situation?

Of course not all get togethers are like that, but you need to be ready to unload with both barrels when necessary.

Pamela Geller, one of the organizers of this rally is the best when it comes to confronting islamists. She founded Stop Islamization of America and she was led the charge to stop the construction of terrorist victory mosque on the hallowed ground of 9/11 that's all over the news.

What? Some fool thought they could use that name and it wouldn't inspire such things?

It was put together by supporters of Ron Paul, who was the only GOP presidential candidate who not only opposed the wars, but also told the truth regarding the 9/11 attacks. So you can see the irony here.

It's funny that this was a fundraiser to raise money for the homeless and women's shelters, so i guess there were TWO reasons for conservatives to protest.

The other funny thing is, i remember reading an article by some conservative where he realized that radical muslims were using events like this to try to radicalize moderate muslims into feeling oppression and join 'their side'. Conservatives play into this greatly without realizing it.

Conservatives are literally the worst people on the face of the earth.

LMAO, i just noticed someone holding up a sign that says 'no women's equality' (58 seconds in)

I guess conservatives REALLY don't like women's shelters.

Not Truth-er, Truth.

As in US foreign policy meddled in the Middle East, and the Middle East meddled back.

In theory, small government types are opposed to government intervention both foreign and domestic.

Maybe First thinks they attack us because "we're rich and free."

Our meddling in the middle east before 911 has been pretty much written off as laughable by most informed scholars. Meddling wasn't the primary reason these nuts attacked us because you'd have to ignore a large body of evidence that shows their their knowledge of foreign intrusion, their knowledge of international affairs and events, their knowledge of intentions vs. results isn't anywhere near well informed. Their world is colored by a nearly entirely corrupt ME way of life; dictatorial gov'ts with broken school systems and dogmatic Muslim fundamentalism is hardly the ideal environment for someone to grow up sane, well adjusted and informed. In that scenario it's not difficult at all to envision ME teens believing that Americans actively look to kill innocent Muslims, something fundamentals would claim as truth whether we stopped killing innocent Muslims by accident or not, because to them it has already happened and therefore can really never be forgiven, so it's baked into the cake no matter what we do going forward short of withdrawing entirely, embassys and private industry et al, from the ME.

Most kooks who subscribe to this blowback notion (not the idea generally, which is sound, but in the case of 911) can't reconcile how despite a massive increase in meddling in the ME over the last 10 years since 911 that we haven't been attacked once, yet the very moderate amount of meddling over the prior 20 years (including what was universally considered positive meddling by Afghani's against the Soviets in the 80's) yielded several terrorists major attacks including the Cole.

Fact is we could pull out of the ME entirely, stop supporting Israel publicly (pure stupidity) and you'd still have ME Islamic fundamentalists claiming Americans are their enemy purely because we are almost exclusively non-Muslim. The hatred is rooted in something America can't give fundamentalist Muslims, and that's an extremist Muslim caliphate sponsored by the U.S. gov't. Anything short of that for most fundamentalists is enough reason to attack the U.S.

Ron Paul, that sounds Chinese or something. Are you sure he's American much less GOP? Maybe some kind of sleeper agent. You can't put one over on us! Everyone knows 9/11 was a conspiracy hatched by left wing extremists!
