Tea party witness chokes up: 'I'm not begging my lords for mercy"
2013-06-05
[DAILYCALLER] A tea party witness from Alabama launched into emotional testimony Tuesday as she described her group's political abuse at the hands of the Internal Revenue Service.

"I'm not here as a serf or a vassal. I'm not begging my lords for mercy. I'm a born-free American woman, wife, mother and citizen."
"We peacefully assemble. We petition our government. We exercise the right to free speech. And we don't understand why the government tried to stop us," Wetumpka Tea Party President Becky Gerritson said during her opening statement before the House Ways and Means Committee.

"I'm not here as a serf or a vassal," she went on, beginning to choke up. "I'm not begging my lords for mercy. I'm a born-free American woman, wife, mother and citizen."

#5  Statist tyranny has no good end for the citizens. Millions of deaths have accrued over history: Nazi Germany, the USSR, China, North Korea, WWII Japan, Cuba, and others who have envisioned a statist utopia nightmare for its citizens.

#4  She is a class act. Spoken from the heart and a truth that rings clear as a bell.

#3  The government has gotten so big and powerful the only reason it does anything is to produce more government and power and lashes out at those that would try to stop it.

It needs starved, cut back or killed.

#2  Please someone, give tea party witness Mr. John Eastman a badge, a Colt, and the power of arrest.

#1  And these are very decent people who have been targeted. Roll your eyes at the Tea Party at your own peril. This makes me want to take a flame thrower to the place.

People who laugh at people who do such decent things if only to protect This Civilization. They deserve Civil charges for those that removed their rights thusly.

If these government "services" are not put in check, It is of no use to ever work for such an agency unless you are a Sadist. In which case, it needs to be Closed Permanently.


Had someone asked where the solutions were, they never knew that EVERY SOLUTION TO ALL OF MANKIND HAS BEEN DELIVERED ALREADY.

They do not want Solutions.
Starve the beast and slay the dragon or let's just sever all comms because there is no servitude worse than this.
