It appears that some truely insane parts of the Tea Party are planning an armed insurrection of the Federal Government on November 19th. This is alledgedly their list of demands (from Freedom Works):
1) The National Security Agency’s (NSA) over-broad and unconstitutional spying on American citizens needs to be curtailed and limited to those who are legitimately related to terrorism, terrorist acts, or those who are or could be linked to breaches of national security.
2) The rules of engagement, which favor Muslim jihadists, must be changed in order to preserve the lives of American military units.
3) The attempt at socializing the United States of America by enacting the unconstitutional health care plan Obamacare must be blocked, and Obamacare as it stands must be repealed.
4) The current administration must agree to significantly lower taxes for all U.S. citizens.
5) The Internal Revenue Service must be abolished entirely leaving in place only a reasonable consumption or flat tax.
6) Immigration reform is critical to our nation’s survival. We must seal the borders and not allow any illegal immigrants into the country. We must come up with a plan that does not involve amnesty.
7) The budget deficit must be significantly reduced.
8) The president must submit himself to examination and appear in front of a citizens’ grand jury to answer questions under oath regarding his illegal, treasonous and impeachable actions during his presidency.
9) The president must provide a physical, original copy of his birth certificate to We the People and submit himself to the scrutiny of qualified forensic experts.
10) The United States must not push for a Palestinian State on the West Bank.
11) The United States must support the Egyptian military and rid all Muslim Brotherhood ties.
12) The United States of America must support Israel in a pre-emptive strike against the Islamic Republic of Iran to destroy its nuclear facilities.
13) Pledge that our Second Amendment rights to bear arms will never be abridged and that our weapons of self-defense will never be confiscated.
My question is: “Will the Revolution be Televised?”
When I read this list all I could think is that the only appropriate response to this is that hearty laugh of yours!
A revolution in support of the Egyptian military. That’s…interesting.
I hope this revolution fails…if they’re going to seal the borders then my ticket to travel to Europe shortly afterward will be no good.
