Joseph Farah Obama Citizenship at Tea Party: Farah Take Back Cultural Institutions: Palin Op-Ed

To the chagrin of the mainstream media, Joseph Farah, the editor-in-chief of the popular WorldNetDaily website, questioned President Obama's citizenship at the Nashville Tea Party Convention. Farah said if he is "obsessed" with Obama's birth certificate, the truth is, he is obsessed with the US Constitution, and he urged Americans to take back our cultural institutions. Sarah Palin prepares to deliver the keynote address at the Convention, and explains why she agreed to speak in an Op-Ed.

To a cheering crowd of about 600, Farah said this:

We're in trouble in America. We're losing our moral bearings. We're losing our respect for the rule of law...We're broke. We're dispirited. We're scared."

It's our duty that those of us who believe in God, liberty, security and responsibility that He represents -- and only He represents -- to...begin another long march through the cultural institutions...it's not enough to criticize these institutions. They need to be taken over, redeemed, reborn."

Farah said he believed establishing lineage was important for leaders, using Jesus’ genealogical ties to King David as an example....

This report from the LATimes insists that the President has already produced his "birth certificate."

Farah went on to urge tea party activists to think beyond winning congressional elections in November and “take over not only the political institutions, but the cultural institutions, like the press, the entertainment industry, the universities, and yes the churches.”

“Are you ready to engage in a cultural war after we take back Congress?”

“Yes!” the crowd yelled back.

Sarah Palin has been criticized by other Tea Partiers for joining the Nashville National Tea Party Convention because she is receiving a speaker's fee and the Convention's organizers hope to make a profit to be used for their local Tea Party organization. Earlier this week, Palin addressed why she is speaking:

Recently, some have tried to portray this movement as a commercial endeavor rather than the grassroots uprising that it is. Those who do so don't understand the frustration everyday Americans feel when they see their government mortgaging their children's future with reckless spending. The spark of patriotic indignation that inspired those who fought for our independence and those who marched peacefully for civil rights has ignited once again. You can't buy such a sentiment. You can't AstroTurf it. It springs from love of country and the knowledge that we can make a difference if we just stand up and stand together.

I thought long and hard about my participation in this weekend's event. At the end of the day, my decision came down to this: It's important to keep faith with people who put a little bit of their faith in you. Everyone attending this event is a soldier in the cause. Some of them will be driving hundreds of miles to Nashville. I made a commitment to them to be there, and I am going to honor it.

Take a look at the video below, featuring an American Patriot who participates in his local Tea Party group and is working to bring American goods to Tea Party events.

Tea Party First Principles: Tea Party National Organizing

The National Tea Party is underway at Opryland in Nashville, Tennessee. Former Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) has already spoken. Six-hundred grassroots activists are expected to attend. Watch for updates here as they happen.

FOXNews today says that the Tea Party Convention held this weekend at Opryland is organizing a "national strategy" for the 2010 midterm elections. The strategy is known as "First Principles."

What I do not understand is the leadership of Tea Parties. I know there was a dust-up over this particular Tea Party Convention. Some Tea Party leaders objected to the Nashville get-together as the planner hoped to make a profit from the event. They convinced Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Michele Bachmann (R-MN) to drop out of the event. Governor Sarah Palin will be a speaker at the Opryland Convention. She has been widely criticized for receiving a $100,000 Keynote speaker's fee, which she says she will donate the money "right back to the cause."

About the "First Principles," the Nashville Convention group says the following are "simply proposals," and they understand that Tea Parties, nationwide have their varied interests and ideas:

Volunteers here intend to propose a series of broad "First Principles" which have already been generally embraced by most Tea Party chapters around the country. They include: fiscal responsibility, upholding the constitution, and national security.

Prospective political candidates will be expected to support the Republican National Committee platform, though without any specific litmus or purity test.

A Tea Party caucus is planned after elections. That is a great idea. Democrats have powerful caucaus' - generally supporting dreadful policy. This is an idea whose time has come. 

If a particular candidate meets the proposed Tea Party criteria he or she would be eligible for fundraising and grassroots Tea Party support.

Once elected to office, members would be required to join a Congressional Tea Party Caucus, attend regular meetings and be held accountable for the votes they cast. Those who stray from the Tea Party path would risk losing it's support and a likely re-election challenge.

FOXNews just had a segment on the Nashville event. The group made it clear that this not about a third party.

I'll be the first to step out and say that I do not understand the organization of the many Tea Parties: The National Tea Party, Tea Party Patriots, and the American Tea Party Movement, and most famously, the Tea Party/912 Movement, among others. Former Representative from Texas, Dick Armey says his organization, FreedomWorks is working with the Tea Party Patriots, but that the movement itself is "leaderless." If that's the case, this is a good thing. A huge group of Americans throughout the country working toward limited and responsible government, and many staying a "local" force.

Here is an example of how that can work:

In Texas, activists with Tea Party links are split in the Republican primary for governor. Armey is backing Sen. Kay Baily Hutchison's shallenge to Gov. Rick Perry in the March 2 primary. Palin campaigns Sunday for Perry. Debra Medina, a former GOP county chairwoman with a libertarian platform, has been working the Tea Party circuit as she seeks the GOP nomination.

I wish these dedicated American's every success in Nashville. I wish I was there to help craft the "First Principles."

Michele Bachmann Tea Party Convention Drop-Out: Marsha Blackburn Tea Party Convention Drop-Out: Breitbart Introduces Palin at Tea Party Convention

Congresswomen Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn-6th) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN-7th) have dropped out of participating in the February Tea Party Nation Convention in February. Governor Sarah Palin is slated to be the keynote speaker. With Blackburn dropping out, conservative blogger-extraordinaire will introduce Palin.

The convention is a for-profit venture by Judson Phillips, a Tennessee lawyer, who says he hopes to make a profit. Rep. Bachmann was also scheduled to speak at the event to be held at Opryland Resort in Nashville.

A spokesman emphasizes that Bachmann has a problem with this particular event, not the tea party movement in general. In fact, another group—the Tea Party Patriots—is claiming credit. "We put pressure on Bachmann, and we're glad that she didn't go," a coordinator tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press, "I'm glad that she did the right thing."

Bachmann was to speak at a Saturday breakfast event. She would have not have received a speaking fee. 

From pricey tickets to Palin's reported $100,000 speaking fee, tea partiers recently have objected to the convention as out of line with the group's values. Backdahl and other Minnesota tea partiers do not plan to attend.

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) was scheduled to introduce Sarah Palin, but said she is bowing out because the "non-profit status" put her in "an awkward position." Look at this twist:

 The decision follows protests over the Feb. 4-6 event's $549 cost and Palin's reported $100,000 speaking fee, which some members of the Taxed Enough Already movement thought was too pricey for grassroots activists. The Mid-South TEA party's spokesman, Jim Tomasik of Cordova, has called the Nashville event an effort by the Republican Party to co-opt the movement.

 The latest report is that Andrew Breitbart will now introduce Palin.

To confuse matters, there is this quote:

A founder of Tea Party Nation recently told the New York Times that it is "not a nonprofit."
