How ironic it is, the “Chicago Machine” has taken over the White House and Chicago now is the start of the New TEA PARTY!  Boy oh boy, if I was in Chicago during this I would be there.

Here is Michelle Malkin’s blog with a ton of links to follow on this ground swelling movement…

Chicago Tea Party!

Here is an important date for everyone…

I’m happy to report on several new protest events now on the docket.

My friend Michael Patrick Leahy of Top Conservatives on Twitter and his crew are spearheading “simultaneous local tea parties around the country, beginning in Chicago, and including Washington DC, Fayetteville NC, San Diego CA, Omaha Nebraska, and dozens of other locations” for next Friday.

Time: February 27, 2009 from 12pm to 1pm
Location: Chicago, Washington DC, other cities, Twitter

Go to OfficialChicagoTeaParty.com for all the info.

Everyone please go to:  Official Chicago Tea Party and show your support!

Roger L. Simon author of “Blacklisting Myself”…

Again from Pajamas Media more about the back lash on this stimulus package.   Another article on this crap sandwich and the growing protests!

This is from a blog called “Roger’s Rules” on Pajamas Media.  Rick Santelli from CNBC is now the MAN!

Here are some of my favorite passages…

As to style: how about a little “transparency”? Why don’t we actually debate the provisions of this $787,000,000,000 plan before passing it? Didn’t the current President of the United States promise “a new era of responsibility” in the way government does business?

“The new administration,” observed Mr. Santelli,

is big on computers and technology. How about this, Mr. President and new administration. Why don’t you put up a website to have people vote on the internet as a referendum to see if we really want to subsidize the losers mortgages? Or would they like to at least buy cars, buy a house that is in foreclosure — give it to people who might have a chance to actually prosper down the road and reward people that can carry the water instead of drink the water?

What do you reckon the results of that referendum would be? Mr. Santelli then dilated on the “spread-the-wealth-around” confiscatory assumption behind the White House plan.

How many people want to pay for your neighbor’s mortgages that has an extra bathroom and can’t pay their bills? Raise their hand! [A chorus of boos, but no hands raised.]

President Obama, are you listening?

You know Cuba used to have mansions and a relatively decent economy. They moved from the individual to the collective. Now they’re driving ‘54 Chevys.

It’s time for another tea party.

What we are doing in this country will make Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin roll over in their graves.

You said it! And Washington, Madison, and Hamilton would be rolling over along with them.

I know I could not have said it better myself!
