You be the Judge?
If Americans want someone to blame for the country's political and economic problems, they should look in the mirror.
So says Alan Keyes, a nationally known conservative author, speaker and Reagan-era diplomat who will be in Fort Wayne this week to participate in the “Enough Already” tea party scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at the Allen County Courthouse.
“We've let ourselves be manipulated (by politicians), and my hope is that we can revitalize active citizenship,” said Keyes, 58, who as a Republican has run unsuccessfully for political office several times, including the 2004 Illinois Senate race against now-President Barack Obama.

More Than 1,000 Protest Govn't Spending In Fort Wayne

“Our banking system is broken. Our political system is broken. Our government is broken. And yet the only thing offered in response is to trust the very people responsible. We must start at the grass-roots level to take our country back from those who have betrayed us to the shibboleth of global government,” said Keyes, who hopes tea parties here and across that country will energize people to do more than complain.
Keyes was invited by a group of local conservatives and will not be paid for his appearance. He spoke at a tea party in Pittsburgh last week and will appear at similar events in Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania before coming to Indiana, where he will also appear at South Bend to protest Obama's upcoming address at the University of Notre Dame. Like many of his fellow Catholics, Keyes believes a Catholic university should not bestow an honorary degree on a pro-choice politician.
“We need to restore moral self-discipline and personal responsibility,” Keyes said in a telephone interview. “If we don't wake up soon, we won't recognize the country. With the greed, ambition and frenzy of spending, I'd give us an ‘F' for our financial future.”
Although Keyes said he's optimistic Americans are beginning to pay attention - several thousand people attended Saturday's tea party in Pittsburgh - he said he is not convinced they will be able to reign in the federal government unless they start by ousting every incumbent, conservatives and liberals alike.
Keyes ran for president in 1996, 2000 and 2008 and for the U.S. Senate in 1988, 1992 and 2004. He also served as a United Nations ambassador and as Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs from 1985 to 1987.
Today, Keyes is most sympathetic to the American Independent Party, aipnews.com, but said he's not sure he'll seek office again because trying to motivate Americans may be more important than trying to represent them.
“We need to start with common sense,” he said.
Sharon Kuhn, one of the local tea party organizers, said local conservatives have been promoting Saturday's tea party on the Internet and through the local media, and are hoping for a good turnout.
“I've been told we may have more than 4,000 people at the courthouse,” she said.

Event organizers are hoped for upwards of 4,000 to attend.
I would say 6000 arrived if you want to see by all the heads spotted close by. The weather was wonderful, with a high of over 80 by 2pm.
Contrary to what some of the wingnuts are saying, ACORN has not shown up at any Tea Parties and are not expected to be there.
MSNBC Guest Claims Tea Parties Are About Hating Blacks
Kurt Nimmo Prison Planet.com Saturday, April 18, 2009
It is bad enough that Keith Olbermann has lost any sense of objectivity when it comes to the Tea Parties, but it is far worse that he invited the scurrilous Janeane Garofalo on his show. Garofalo wasted precious little time (at 8.25 into the video here) dismissing millions of people opposed to Obama’s policies (that is to say the policies of Bush continued).
Garofalo called all of us to the man and woman racist. Regrettably, Keith Olbermann agreed with her.
It should be obvious by now these people are worse — more rabid and mean-spirited and pathological — than the Bush neocons who managed to kill more than a million Iraqis and set the stage for what shall come under Obama by the premeditated whacking the underpinnings of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Neocons rarely displayed such ugliness. Instead of abusing their enemies with foul epithets, they simply ignored them. Garofalo and Olbermann, however, seem to relish in such despicable attacks. Prior to inviting Garofalo on his show, Olbermann ticked off a series of adolescent insults directed at the “teabaggers” — meant in the pornographic sense, as eluded — that is to say anybody and everybody who believes cranking up the national debt to is a disaster in the making.
NEVERKNWO DOES THE FORT WAYNE TEA PARTY
Tea party for patriots who want to preserve greatness of the country
Guest post by Ric Runestad
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” — Thomas Jefferson
This Saturday at 11 a.m., a crowd will gather on the Allen County Courthouse lawn to protest the massive expansion of the federal government.
The motivations for the “Enough Already” tea party are numerous, but all center on the belief that the current enlargement of government will serve to deprive the citizenry of their liberties over time.
The flashpoint for most of those attending is the government’s bailouts of financial firms that, in partnership with the government, are responsible for the current crisis.
With the size of the bailouts taken into consideration, the total federal, state and local government spending as a percentage of gross domestic production will top 40 percent.
This level of spending, in conjunction with the nationalizing of major banks and industries, has convinced many that we are no longer on the road to socialism, but have already arrived.
Most distressing of all is the way this spending is being financed.
Many Americans believe that when the federal government approves trillions of dollars in new spending, the money simply falls from the sky. The truth is, the government has only three ways of getting the money it spends. It can raise the money in taxes, borrow the money or some simply print the money it is spending.
The government’s plan calls for few new taxes up front. Most of this spending binge will be done with money that is borrowed or printed.
When a government has its central bank print extra money, a practice euphemistically called “monetizing debt,” it serves to debase the value of the currency and, in the case of the United States, jeopardize the dollar’s standing as the world’s reserve currency.
Hence, most of the government’s plan revolves around sinking our nation under ponderous debt.
The advantage of using debt is that it is painless at the time. Just as an irresponsible college student feels no discomfort as he runs up his father’s credit cards, so, too, the citizens feel no direct effect of running up the national debt to fund a short-term stimulus plan. The pain comes when the bill comes due.
In the case of the college student, the bill will often come due that semester, and the person they have hurt is their parent. However, they have plenty of time to pay the debt themselves.
When a nation of irresponsible adults racks up massive debts, the bill will be presented to its children and grandchildren, and the adults themselves will have no opportunity to right the situation.
Former U.S. comptroller general David Walker has laid out the very inconvenient truth of our nation’s indebtedness. In brief, it is fair to say that there exists no conceivable way the U.S. will be able to meet all its future entitlement commitments without towering future taxes, major cutbacks in guarantees, wholesale debasement of the dollar or some combination of these “solutions.” He started touring the nation to deliver his message even before the stimulus packages were added to the national debt.
We as a nation cannot afford this latest round of reckless spending, and the only lasting fruit it will bear will be the indentureship of our posterity that goes with indebtedness.
If you, too, regard yourself as a patriot who loves this country and wishes to see its greatness preserved for future generations, we urge you to join us Saturday to start having our voices be heard.
