The Tea Party Supports Terrorism!
4:22 pm, July 19th, 2010 on Common Sense, Tea Party
I wouldn’t imagine it does, but, the possibility seems rather pertinent given the following turn of events. The Tea Party Nation sent out the following email earlier today:
An action
alert from Tea Party Nation -
A few days ago, Geek.com and others reported that the Federal Government had shut down blog hosting site, Blogetery. The site that hosted Blogetery stated they were contacted by the Federal Law Enforcement and had little choice but to shut the site down immediately.
This action silenced 73,000 blogs.
Until this action occurred, none of us at Tea Party Nation had even heard of this site. We do not know what kind of blogs were hosted on this site, but we suspect they cover the range from personal to political.
This is why the Tea Party Movement needs to be involved immediately.
The Obama regime has taken a very hostile attitude towards our First Amendment rights. Is this a dry run the government is taking to shut down sites that are critical of the regime?
We need to act.
Call your Senators and Congressmen today and demand that the Senate and the House investigate which agency shut this site down and why. Email your friends and ask them to call as well. We need an explanation and we cannot let the regime off on this issue.
Along this line, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan has said she sees nothing wrong with the government suppressing speech the government finds offensive. Given the regime’s attitude to the First Amendment, we must be vigilant.
Remember to keep calling the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee and reminding them to vote “NO!” on the Kagan nomination.
A little bit of research on Blogetery revealed the following (via PCWorld):
On the evening of July 9, 2010, BurstNET® received a notice of a critical nature from law enforcement officials, and was asked to provide information regarding ownership of the server hosting Blogetry.com. It was revealed that a link to terrorist material, including bomb-making instructions and an al-Qaeda “hit list”, had been posted to the site. Upon review, BurstNET® determined that the posted material, in addition to potentially inciting dangerous activities, specifically violated the BurstNET® Acceptable Use Policy. This policy strictly prohibits the posting of “terrorist propaganda, racist material, or bomb/weapon instructions”. Due to this violation and the fact that the site had a history of previous abuse, BurstNET® elected to immediately disable the system.
Since we at tGO simply love exaggerations and hyperbole, I have to conclude that the TPN supports terrorism.
English Only Driver’s License Exams: YES PLEASE!

Tim James, Republican candidate for the governor’s mansion in Alabama, feels:
This is Alabama; we speak English … If you want to live here, learn it… we’re only giving [the driver licensing] test in English, if I am the governor
Alabama apparently gives the exam in 12 languages. But road signs are only in English.
The way I see it, either we change EVERY SINGLE road sign in the entire state to accommodate all 12 languages, which is completely impractical, or all drivers should be made to read and understand English before they can operate a motor vehicle on a road.
The choice is obvious – English-only exams should be mandatory. If you can’t read and understand “Do Not Enter,” you shouldn’t be behind the wheel of your car. This is not really a matter of race, but of road safety.
Tim James in person, for your viewing pleasure:
