Dale Robertson Is Still At It

Charles Johnson catches the Tea Party activist with the infamous “N-word” sign getting taken seriously by The Washington Times, which quotes him as a founder of the movement, threatening that activists will be “turning our guns on anyone who doesn’t support constitutional conservative candidates.”

The Houston Tea Party isn’t having it. Their statement on Robertson:

1. He is NOT a member of our Leadership team.

2. He owns a website with which we have never been affiliated.

3. He has never been a part of organizing any of the Tea Party rallies in the Houston area, or any other area that we can find.

4. We addressed some issues involving him back in April. Here it is on our website, where Mr. Robertson himself comments: http://houstontps.org/?p=318

5. We do not choose to associate with people that use his type of disgusting language

The nice treatment of Robertson in The Washington Times, however, demonstrates just how hard it can be to deny someone “leader” status in the Tea Parties.

“threatening that activists will be “turning our guns on anyone who doesn’t support constitutional conservative candidates.”

Is that supposed to be taken literally or figuratively?

Media at it again, trying to cut the Tea Party with the race card, We live in a time now where people think for themselves. Who is the media now that tries to program people to their way of thinking? 'we the people” is every race here in the good old USA that loves the country and not the way it's headed.

Charles Johnson does not represent the Tea Party. Any person can lay claim to belonging to any organization. The Tea Party is about the Constitution, Bill of Rights and less Government Rule.

We oppose tyranny, handcuff legislation, behine closed doors impulsive government laws and government mismanagment of taxes collected.

Where were you people when Bush was raping the Constitution and spending us into Chinese servitude? You didn't say a word until a black man took over, don't act like race doesn't play a role, it's clear it does.

The demand for documentation of Barack Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office is surging, with lawmakers in several states now working on legislation that could be used to require future presidential candidates to reveal precisely how they are qualified under the U.S. Constitution's demand for a “natural born citizen.” I have repeatedly contacted my U.S. Senators & Congressman about this illegal-alien and they seem to be content with “go along, get along” and don't want to make waves. Hence it is going to be up to the individual states to codify a Constitutional definition of “natural born citizen”, require original signatures on nomination paper certifications(not the copied signatures Pelosi provided) AND a copy of the candidate's original Birth Certificate before the name can be placed on the state's presidential election ballot. Obama mentions his Birth Certificate on page 26 of “Dreams of My Father” so he could just provide a copy of that one. Afterall it is probably the “source document” a Hawaiian official claims is on file in Honolulu. OR it could be the Kenyan BC. Also we are still not sure which citizenship Obama attended college as. If we can keep Obama off the ballot in just two states he won't have the audacity to run for re-election. So please write your state level senators to sponsor and support this legislation.

And like to equate a democratically elected President with the worst tyrant in history. Nice people.

And this is democracy? Threatening those who disagree with them at the point of a gun?

Not in my book. Which is why these people have become dangerous, right along with the birthers. Oily was exhorting people to take up arms against the government and I guess these guys are too. They are why we need gun control- to control the kooks that have guns and would use them against fellow citizens and the duly elected government.

Alfonso, you have been misinformed. Any of the “social” services an AMERICAN receives, have been paid into by us all of our working lives. It is not “social services” we are against. It is the possibility that non-Americans may qualify for the benefits without meeting the same qualifications that WE have paid for. We refuse to allow our “elected” representatives up to and including our president, to dictate our lives or interpret the laws to there own purpose, without our agreement.. Voting those out that vote against our beliefs and our constitution is the answer to solving this problem. Start pink slipping in November 2010 right through 2012.
WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE are still in charge…and we will prove it with our vote.

Guns don't kill people any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
GET IT! Make punishment for crimes committed with guns HARSH and quit slapping people on the wrist and your problem will decrease without trying to eliminate our constitutional right.

Yeah MARSHA – I GET IT. Guns don't shoot people without and ahole holding it. But you want to wait until they kill a whole bunch of people (think Virginia Tech) before you try to stop the aholes. I, on the other hand, want to stop the aholes from getting the guns in the first place! It's too late to punish the guy at Virginia Tech- he's dead and we didn't get to do it! He should have never had a gun but the laws are lax enough to allow someone with serious mental problems to buy one. So what do you say to the families? Oh, sorry? Don't you get it that after is too late? Do you think these wackos should have the military weaponry they have when they want to shoot cops? Or do you side with them? How about all those who are threatening the president? You support them too? The president who doesn't want to take our guns away no matter how much the right-wingers are screaming that he does?

Control doesn't mean you can't have guns- it only means that people who shouldn't be gun owners can't walk in and buy them. I have no problem with the government or anyone else knowing I have guns and I know how to use them. But other than for hunting, which I no longer do much of, or for killing poisonous snakes around my house, I really only have them for protection in case someone threatens me or my family. I am not actively going out looking for people to shoot like these religious cretins were seemingly doing.

You know, when people who are here illegally, working under a social security number not their own, they are paying taxes just like everyone else but THEY WILL NEVER BENNEFIT FROM THE TAXES THEY PAY. No tax refunds, no social security or medicare. Nothing. They pay just for the privilege of working. So in many ways, they are paying for being here.

Which law are you referring to? My comment is that many of those working here, illegal or not, do pay taxes, including Social Security, Medicare and income tax, in response to the previous poster who said that only citizens pay into these programs. She is incorrect in that statement. My comment had nothing to do with the law- any law.
