Tea Party Energy Misdirected

1 Comment

I think you don't grasp it

The scope of the tea parties is the birth of a movement, not a one time gathering of like minds. Don't let the fact that no cars were torched or windows smashed fool you into not believing the true passion behind us. As we told the crowds over and over, it only takes 30% of the population as our founders proved. A group of people with real ideals and a passion for the country our founders set up after eleven years of raucous debates is a force to be reckoned with. We are just now getting to the fund raising stage. We don't have an angel like Moore and Soros and that is the way we prefer it. I don't want anyone spewing out that lame excuse of a bought and paid for revolution. Every day since the 15th another aggregious act by our government has taken place and we still don't know what is in the entire stimulis package. Napolitano's gaff will be the flame that keeps on burning in the minds of freedom loving people everywhere. I believe if this tax day rally was held on a non work day, the numbers would have tripled. It is not misdirected, nor misguided. We attacked both parties with equal vigor and our platform is as plain as the constitution itself. No national totals have come out yet for the attendees of the tax day parties, but they will be half of the real numbers. Portland, me., the one I attended had 700 people in mid day in the most socialist state in the union and the papers said about 250 showed up, and the evening news said it was paid for by the Republican party and Fox news. Just keep those insults flying and watch the flames grow higher.
