Today's news:
Six groups have been scheduled to give first-person accounts of the IRS's targeting of conservative organizations on Tuesday, the House Ways and Means Committee announced Monday....I see that Diane Belsom of the Laurens County Tea Party in South Carolina is ready to testify (or may already have begun to testify). I hope the conversation isn't limited to how mean the IRS was to her and how much she loves freedom and the Constitution and our American way of life. I hope she gets around to talking about the speech her fourteen-year-old daughter, Desiree, delivered to a tea party rally last year, in which she compared modern-day America to the dystopia of The Hunger Games:
Four ... groups that have representatives scheduled to testify -- the Laurens County Tea Party, the Wetumpka Tea Party, the San Fernando Valley Patriots and the Linchpins of Liberty -- are all among the roughly 25 groups taking part in a lawsuit against the IRS filed by the American Center for Law and Justice....
...The most popular movie right now of my generation is titled: “The Hunger Games.” It’s set 75 years from now, in a society completely ruled by the government. The general population lives in sheer poverty, while a few select elites profit from the system of total government control. The most frightening thing about the movie is that America is fast becoming the totalitarian world of the Hunger Games....And I hope Desiree's mom gets to chat about the Laurens County Tea Party's deep concerns about the threats of Agenda 21 and sharia law in America:
By getting involved in your local Tea Party- you can make a difference. You can stop America from becoming the totalitarian world of the Hunger Games. You can stop the national debt from increasing even more. You can stop Obama from being re-elected. You can ensure a better future for yourself, your children, and your grandchildren. And even though you're just one person, and I’m just one person, if we all work together, we can change the world. There is strength in numbers- will you join me?
I think it would be enlightening if she were allowed to show the committee members portions of the linked videos:
Y'know, just so America can grasp the true nature of these persecuted patriots.
