Penny McBroom was a woman on a mission. She had just come back from the Atlanta Tea Party with gal pals Wanda Dailey and Lynn McCollough and she was on fire.
'There is something dreadfully wrong with our country', she declared. 'We must stand up for God, country and our Constitution.' McBroom, a Barnesville resident, felt a calling from God. Inspired by the hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers' she was determined to enlist an army of local volunteers to put together their own local Tea Party.
They did so and it will be held Labor Day, Monday September 7, at Ritz Park from 7 - 9 p.m.
Before we fix anything, and this especially includes taxes or health care, we have to understand how the systems work and what the problems are.
Lying to crowds or misleading people by either side, and this includes some pretty big fibs being told by the tea party people, isn't any more helpful to our future than the present direction we are heading.
Go read the freakin health care bill and check back into reality, bubba.
Cap and Trade, based on the big fat lie of man-made global warming: scientific data issued by our own federal government, has been publicly shown to be falsified data. Our own federal government lied shamelessly to the taxpayers while promoting the largest tax increase in US history.
And you have the gall to call a group of local volunteers - liars?
Put the hash pipe down and check into rehab. You need it.
That is the last sentence. It doesn't say Republicans only, you can go and speak your mind to...lol
#8 give me a break. Surely you don’t really think that the Taxed Enough Already parties are for republicans only. They are for people that are tired of being taxed to death with more about to be unloaded on YOU!
"Diest" is actually spelled "Deist"; a definition follows:
deism - the form of theological rationalism that believes
in God on the basis of reason without
reference to revelation.
So we have one of the Founding Fathers who was a deist. Thats does not mean that the Founding Fathers meant to separate God and His Values from American Society. The Founding Fathers simply wanted to ensure that no state religion like the Church of England would be created.
Their talk, meetings, writings; were all liberally sprinkled with references to the Bible, God, and Jesus Christ.
But be of good cheer. All this has been written out of today's government school textbooks! Isn't that wonderful? Just like the communists rewrote history books in Russia and China; we have our own special revisionists right here in the US.
I would like to address the folks that are stating that the event was overly religious. I am a Christian, however, I do not attend church regularly and am not what you would typically consider when thinking of Christians. What is interesting to me is that in this contentious political atmosphere I continuously find myself having to defend my Christianity.
Again, I am not your typical Christian, however, these days, finding myself constantly questioned and sometimes attacked for my faith, I have had to take a stand. The left has pissed us off, even folks like me, who wouldn't normally argue this point.
You took prayer from our schools, the ten commandments from our public buildings and feel justified in chastising us publicly for our faith. Yet, you expect us to sit quietly while you tear down everything that has meaning to us all while attempting to force your ideas upon us and our Families. In the words of Reverend Manning; "I'm simply not going to take it anymore."
