      Did the 9/11 tragedy end with the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon? Weren't there still hundreds or thousands of people trapped under the rubble of the towers on 9/12? Weren't members of the NYFD still dying trying to rescue them? It's seems to me that turning 9/12 into a political tea party event is just as tasteless as doing it on 9/11.

        The 9/12'ers incoherent and shameless politicization of 9/11 is and will continue to play out as a total embarrassment for all who've promoted it. You can never underestimate the power of hate.

      "We have to do something for ourselves and our country." So, Rush, your guest is trying to be of service, and not to his community but to the entire nation. Why didn't you smack him down for that? I thought that being part of a day of nationalist service was evil? That was only like an hour and a half ago. Did you forget already?

      I was there on 911 to witness the attacks. My office at the time was in Jersey City directly across the river from the trade centers. I did not see the first plane hit but did see the second. My landlord and friend lost his life in this attack.

      These memories which I can still vividly recall have become an inconvenient truth to the administration. I will be in Toms River today and Washington tomorrow and shame on you in this forum who belittle your fellow citizens for their right to freely assemble

      We must never forget

        What the hell do you mean? An inconvenient truth to the administration?

        Everyone has the right to assemble. But these assembled people are united only in their hatred of the president. And far too many of them are angry only because of the color of his skin.

        You're hurt because someone belittled these people? The ones who call us communists? You're a real piece of work.

      The 9/12 movement is about recreating the sense of unity the country had in the days right after those filthy muslim terrorists attacked our country.

      The Tea Party is about making the country's citizens aware of how much money the government taxes and spends without any regard for the citizens that hire them and will eventually fire them.

      The only group of people that have moved away from those American concepts are members of the left, housed in today's democrat party. On the other hand, conservatives have never forgotten those ideals and future demonstrations of unified purpose are going to continue to show how those ideals permeate the fabric of the country and be affirmed in the celebrations held on 9/12 and beyond.

      This is not about 9/11 and politicizing that tragic day. It is about bringing together Americans who share American ideals, understand its greatness and see the uniquely uplifting force this country has been in the history mankind.

      If holding corrupted politicians accountable and unifying American citizens is antithetical to the goals of the left, so be it.

          OK, what would keep the left from supporting the values mentioned above? I know of democrats and independents(mostly disgusted by the previous performance of the republican party) traveling to DC tomorrow. There is a difference between the left leaning what stands for the democrat party of today and the democratic party of the past. These union guys going tomorrow want to bring back the democratic party, not become conservatives republicans. What's wrong with that?

        The real corruption I have seen lately is from the republicans with corrupt morals. If you for one moment think that denying people health care is the moral thing to do, then I place you squarely in the camp of immoral and corrupt.

        When a politician accepts hundreds of thousands of dollars from the insurance company and then turns around and says to 40 million people we can't afford to give you decent medical care, I say that is corrupt.

        When the same politician votes to give the wealthiest in this country a tax cut, and then says to 40 million people, you can't have decent health care, I call the currupt.

        You seem to think the only thing that makes someone a good American is to wave the flag, salute the likes of Rush Limbaugh, and Glen Beck, and start calling people un-American.

        I am sick and tired of your ilk. Maybe it is time for Texas to succeed, and all of your ilk can go down there, build your fence to keep the illegal immigrants out, have no taxes, no roads, no fire department, no police department and any other commons.

        Oh you better build the fence on the northern border, because people in a few years will be clamoring to leave you idyllic little country.

        Oh wait a minute, you can't build the fence, there are no tax monies for it.


        Good Luck

          And finally, why wouldn't proud patriotic members of the democratic party come to DC too? What are you inferring about some found in the democratic party? Will Van Jones be able to celebrate the country with us tomorrow?

            I guess you are the typical right wing crackpot. You just don't get it. What you think America is and what I think America is, are completely different.

            When you use the word "ideals", its does not have a monolithic meaning.

            Also trying to disparage my patriotism, by implying, if I don't show up for your right wing crackpot deal tomorrow I am not a patriotic. Don't give me , "Oh I didn't mean it that way". You sure as hell meant it that way. I can hear a dog whistle when it's blown.

            You can go talk to all your right wing crackpots tomorrow and tell them how us liberals aren't patriotic because we don't salivate when Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh ring the bell for us.

            You will remain in the dark about health care reform right up to the minute, when you're in a hospital for some disease and your insurance company cuts you off because you forgot to tell them that you had acne when you were 17.

            Then you will be bankrupt, no place to live, and your kids won't be able to go to college. (Unless you want to have them take those loans out, that the liberals started). But as a pround conservative you will just tell your kids, if you wanted to to to college, tough luck. Dad got sick and the compassionate insurance company said they wouldn't pay the bills because I had a pre-existing condition that they said was casing the diesaese.

              Lemme guess -- you would have had a beer with his predecessor, too, right? That seems to be the criteria most wingnuts used to choose Bush in '04 . . . only his spending policies weren't a helluva lot better, IMO . . .

      The Tea Party group is right about one thing; We the people of this country can make change happen, by coming together. They say we can take down big government, well I think this can happen, in time. When president Obama was elected, we witnessed the power of the people to take down small-minded government.

      Next, you will see the power of the people take down morally and fiscally irresponsible big business. Just ask one of the five insurance companies that run health care in this country. Ask them what it feels like when America takes a stand.

      Finally, when the people of this country realize that the power rests within them, we will no longer need big government. The tea party vision, will be realized.
