Nicholas Phillips at the Riverfront Times takes note of this YouTube video from a Tea Party/Patriot movement outfit calling itself Don't Tread On Me, which apparently is planning a movie documenting the "Patriot uprising" against President Obama and the eeeeeeevil Marxist/socialist/fascist Democrats.
Among the featured guests on the video are a couple of Missouri Republican House legislators: Rep. Cynthia Davis, who you may remember for her proclamation that "hunger can be a motivating force", which is why we shouldn't give kids school lunches; and Rep. Brian Nieves, who got some attention earlier this month for his goofy political demanding Obama and Muslims "leave us alone".
The theme of the video is that eventually, "patriots" are going to have to take up arms against the eeeeeevil Democrats. Nieves, for instance, intones:
Thirty years from now, somebody's going to ask you what you did during the patriot uprising.
Davis adds:
We're drawing the line in the sand and saying, 'This is our territory.'
But hey, those Tea Partiers are just normal, sane people who only want to advocate for fiscal restraint. Right? Right?
Sounds to me like the same German march song the Nazis used to sing at their rallies.

Pelosi & democrats refused to impeach Bush/Cheney... Pelosi talk the BS she had nothing to go on. This was even after Kucinich introduced a bill for impeachment of over 30 items and it was put on the shelf.
Now ,,Obama & democrats continue with the same d... BS. Obama even censored information which could be used in the investigation of their crimes. Cheney & Bush even confessed on the news media and brag about it.
Emanuel's influence and democrats being afraid of their own actions , continue this disgrace of our laws and the oath they took when they were swore into office to uphold them.
I am tired of saying the democrats are better than the republicans. It is time for new candidates or a strong 3rd party.
We are losing this class war and these global monopolies are laughing all the way to the bank.

Germany is the largest national economy in Europe, the fourth-largest by nominal GDP in the world, and fifth by GDP (PPP) in 2008. Since the age of industrialisation, the country has been a driver, innovator, and beneficiary of an ever more globalised economy. Germany is the world's second largest exporter with $1.170 trillion exported in 2009 (Eurozone countries are included). Exports account for more than one-third of national output..

Oh, but a black guy tries to be president and it's time to get your guns, boys! Time for a revolution up in here!
is that they are seriously outnumbered and outgunned. The teabagger/GOPers probbly wouldn't want to hear it, but they really don't want to start a shooting match with anybody. I suppose they expect that law enforcement would stand idly by and allow them to do that, too.

"With Obama & Emanuel Action of not keeping their campaign promises"
First of all Obama never campaigned as a progressive. He never promised to withdraw from Afghanistan nor to withdraw immediately from Iraq. He never promised single payer healthcare.
Now I think all those things would have been great ideas but it is just bullshit to say he went back on his campaign promises by not doing them. And while he hasn't done as much as we would like why don't you recognize the REAL enemy, the Republicans who block EVERYTHING he tries to do.
Are the ones who are pitching a bitch. Lots of far left voters who got wrapped up in the moment, and didn't really pay attention to what he said, are pitching a bitch. The indy's, some of them have gone teabagger. The far left, they just walked.
So, when this all comes out in the wash,and the GOp are stifling progress, because they get a majority, we'll know who to blame.
I really don't think the GOP will gain a majority in either house. But if they do, and start investigation after investigation after investigation, we'll know who to blame. In the end, I think the more level heads will prevail. And that ain't teabaggers.
I expect more impostors coming before the election.
Sneaky little bastids.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
it's not bullshit. He campaigned on the public option, saying, "Any plan I sign must include a public option..." He campaigned against taxing so-called "Cadillac" insurance plans. He campaigned against mandates. He campaigned on closing Gitmo. He campaigned on getting out of Iraq within the first year of his presidency.
At least that's what I've been told.
i still find it amazing that groups that hate the US govt more than al qaeda claim to be part of the "patriot movement"...
anyhoo, i wonder how ed schultz feels about a clip from his show being used for this nationalist-porn?
my hope is that the crazier, more anti-govt, militant, and threatening these groups get, the less followers they have. of course, the fear is that as more people are faced with economic devastation more will look for the easy answers found in groups like these anti US govt groups.
You don't think the US government is more of threat than the CIA-created Al Qaeda?
How many illegal wars has Al Qaeda started? How many millions has the US government slaughtered - for freedom??
Has Al Qaeda sent all our jobs overseas?
has Al Qaeda given trillions away to the banks?
Has Al Qaeda passed the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and all the other laws since The Military Industrial Complex Holy Day of 9-11?
if you want to know how i feel about those topics click on my 'name' and read my thoughts. enjoy.
but, the issue for me is that these 'partiot' groups are led, organized, and financed by the indiv/groups that have profited mightily from the issues you mentioned.
yes, I know that they have been coopted by the very forces that they claim to oppose.
this is all so that the left-right paradigm forces will have a nice easy target to focus the attention of the not-so-informed.
Do you mean created by?
yeah, that paradigm can fog up issues. the real division is between the powerful and the powerless.
not the government.
who does the bidding of who?
You don't see Wall Street handing trillions to Washington do you?
that should tell you where the power lies.
wall street owns the govt, writes fav legislation, bankrolls pols, etc.
hence, the reason why the govt handed trillions over to those that created the problem--wall st owns the govt.
Uh, yes.
Wall Street. Spend a few million, hey, maybe even tens of millions and get trillions in return.

I mean, its not as if they are proposing to bite the hand of the very Crony Capitalist Oligarchs that are funding them, right ?? Methinks that the intent is for this whole ugly dialog to go pear-shaped", with all of us liberals, leftists, and progressives as the ultimate targets.

One thing we can all agree on is the universal need to restore the Bill of Rights and stop the spying on of the American citizens.
"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Throughout the Bush administration, anyone who maligned the president or otherwise called him out was "a traitor" or was asked, "Why do you hate America?" I think it's time we called these assholes traitors and ask them the same question.
I go to a meeting that always starts with The Pledge of Allegiance.
It's the indivisible part these folks stumble over I guess. Do you think they refuse to pledge allegiance?
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
FYI "under God" was added in 1954.

These right wing tea party nutcases are so stupid. They fail to realize that by talking that kind of crap and dividing this Country they are handing bin Laden a victory.
For all of their patriot talk and hatred of Muslims they are playing right into their hands. They are nothing but a bunch of ignorant fools.
Some folks just don't realize it yet.
Wait...what exactly are these people "up in arms" about? Did you notice that not one specific constitutional violation was raised in the video and yet they keep talking about how we're rapidly abandoning it? Did these people suddenly catch on to the Bush era constitutional violations or something? I mean, sure, Obama hasn't exactly been energetic in prosecuting them or rescinding them...but AFAIK he hasn't perpetrated any new ones. I have yet to hear a teabagger actually spell out a true constitutional trespass made by this administration.
And WTF is that theme music at the end? Sounded like German to me...is this a neo-Nazi group?
The whole thing just leaves me confused. [Teh stoopid make brain hurt]
Tonight Beck made a big deal of his viewers "drawing a line in the sand". I guess it's just a coincidence but I can't help but wonder.
He's freakin' out that the President is surrounding himself with radicals from the 60s and radical black people as well. Of course the 60s were fifty years ago but hey, to Glenn time doesn't matter along with facts. Is Beck the same person in every way that he was when he was strung out on drug and alcohol? I'm betting he'll say he isn't.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Bring it on.
Here in Idaho the Republicans toyed with a State Militia plank to their 2010 Platform, the same clowns that alledgedly carried pocket Constitutions at that Convention.
Hey Morans, I suggest you read Article 2 Section II a little more closely: "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States"
Go ahead, create 'em, and they will be Obama's to command. I guess Ike and JFK nationalizing the Guard didn't quite get that point across.

These idiots are advocating violence. They're egging on the stupid teabaggers to do their dirty work. Why? Because if they did it themselves, they'd get locked up.
I love how all this talk about tyranny and lawlessness comes up AFTER Bush is gone! Where were they when Bush, Cheney and the rest of the ghouls were using the Constitution as toilet paper? Oh that's right, it was in the name of "freedom". But when an educated, biracial man wins the election, "Oh my effin' god! It's Hitler/Stalin/Barney the Dinosaur! Get yer guns!"
This is treason and should be treated as such. These morons, both the Republicans and the teabaggers, are angry and butthurt because they LOST. And what happens when a bunch of immature, mindless people lose? They resort to violence.
Before (more) violence erupts, these sore losers better remember that they are SEVERELY outnumbered, as shown in the last Presidential Election.
NOBODY 2012
I completely agree. Where the hell were they when Bush and Cheney actually WERE moving us toward tyranny? They talk about how Obama is disregarding the constitution but they almost never give specifics and when they do its laughable. Oh no healthcare companies can't reject people for pre-existing conditions! Tyranny!!
I've had Libertarians get irate when I tell them that their advocacy of absolute private property freedoms would result in people being allowed to own human beings again, a.k.a a return to slavery. They always respond by saying something about slavery belonging to a past era of human development and that we're now beyond that, or something to that effect. But their Rand Paul-notorious racism, coupled with statements like the one here about "motivating" children by withholding food sure sounds like some form of humans-owning-humans could happen if their worldview is ever implemented.
If your body is your private property then no one else can own it. Therefore, you can't be a slave without wanting to be.
I don't think so.

What is their platform for when they achieve their counter-revolution? Since they have no ideas and just have talking points from previous revolutionaries their goal maybe just elimination. Which is not unusual for the right. That is their ends and means. Eliminate the left, dark skinned people, non-christians etc etc. These people should taken serious due to high unemployment and the state of the economy. The tea party and Glenn Beck are the only ones with answers to why this happened and what to do. Considering the increase in random violent attacks by right wing rouges, if they do organize into small militias we could see some serious blood.
Not to mention the American revolution was against a kingdom and aristocracy. Not exactly the monster we are facing right now. Minor details.
