Week in Review
Posted by Prof | Filed under Promotion, Take A Stand
This week, American citizens were subjected to the DHS report about ‘the Right’ and how authorities should be on the lookout for folks who fit the profile, just in case. This of course, timed to come out on the same week as the Tea Parties. And just how exactly can any president distance himself from an official report made by his administration? He can’t. Ithink it is safe to say that 44 didn’t agree with the report, it would never have seen the light of day. Guess that trial balloon in MO was exactly that, a trial balloon to see how the public reacted. I guess the administration felt that what some might see as overstepping for a mere State was perfectly alright if the Fed does it.
This week we have been called racists, bigots, revolutionaries, and sore losers. That is just what the news broadcasters have called us. Short sighted celebs have had to go out and make sure that their own vapid excuses for thoughts were heard. The blogs have been worse, trying to incite, to intimidate, and following blindly a course that I can’t even begin to understand, let alone consider even remotely intelligent. But when asked to explain themselves, they go off on tangents, attack the questioner rather than answer the question, and act like the logical answers we are asking for are just too complex for us little people. We are the chattering masses after all. Our politicians, the ones who are supposed to have the ENTIRE country’s future in mind, jump right down in the gutter with the blogs and the press. And isn’t it just wonderful that 44’s staff say the Man isn’t even aware of these Tea Parties?
So you know, as far as a week in review goes, there ain’t nothing new here.
We knew before Wednesday that the press wouldn’t get it. We knew that J9 Gaff-o-tron would react the way she did. We knew that certain members of our legislature would downtalk it.
Ain’t nothing new here.
Well, here’s something you might not have known. At the Tampa Tea Party, a woman, a black, and a Cuban, were the speakers. And they were cheered by the crowd for what they had to say, not because it was politically correct to be polite to minority figures.
Here’s something you might not have known…that CNN reporter who made an ass of herself in the Land of Lincoln is now on an unscheduled vacation.
Here’s something you might not have known… parks and downtowns and courthouses where the Tea Parties were held around the country, were actually cleaner when we left than when we got there. The crowd was as polite as any you could ask for. “Pardon me, thank you, let me help you with that, please” were the rule, kinda like at a crowded gun show.
One more thing you might not have known: This Party Is Not Over.
Plans are in the works around the country for more rallies. Statehouse steps are going to be filled by patriots and malcontents alike. We are going to keep reminding our hirelings that we are in charge. We are going to keep voicing our concerns. We are going to keep writing, emailing, and calling our representatives, to give them the chance to actually represent US. This time, we had somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000 people show up. Next time it will larger. This time, some of our speakers wandered a bit in their message. Next time we are going to focus tighter. This time, we had Republicans, Democrats, Green Party, Ron Paulers, Constitutioners, and Libertarians all standing together with folks who were none of those things. Next time, we will have the same thing, only larger.
And now, pictures of the Tampa Tea Party:
