Tax Day Tea Parties A Rousing Success

Today was the day many an American have been waiting for.
April 15.
Now, this is not a normal April 15. A day that most Americans rightfully moan and groan about. It is the day that Americans have until midnight to file our income taxes.
The reason that today is not a normal day is that this day, thousands of Americans from sea to shinning sea took to the streets to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! That while President Obama, Gov. Benedict Arnold and a cast of degenerate politicians in both the Democrat and Republican party plot to raise taxes and take away money and freedom, many are finally waking up and saying, thanks but keep the change.
Today I took part in a Tea Party in Glendale, California where I work. Now, I will not exaggerate the crowd but it filled the front of the city hall and stretched a block. So, a reasonable guesstimate is that 400-500 were there. Now, keep in mind that this was during the lunch hour, from 12 noon to 2pm. The crowd was a great mix of people. Many had American flags and the overwhelming majority had hand-made signs. Some had signs that were professional, but by and large the signs were hand-made. There were three speakers but no politician in sight. They were people that are tired of feeling that the government is not listening to them. And, your humble blogger was one of them.
The organizer of this rally is a La Crescenta housewife, Debi Devens, and she did it the old fashioned way. She got a city permit and made sure that anyone and everyone in media knew of this event. And, when she was done, she told us in the crowd that there will be another one of the Forth of July and many signed up to help with the next one.
I met a spoke with some people and we agreed that this had to be taken to the next level. That there needs to be some political organization.
Why, even this Los Angeles Times blog had what can only be said to be some positive coverage of this event.
A point of blog privilege.
I was literally in on the ground floor of the recall effort against former California governor, the Gray Era Davis.
A group of local Pasadena Republicans staged a rally in a local park during the process of obtaining signatures to get the recall on the ballot. There were about 25-50 of us that were at the protest. We had fun smacking a pinata of the Gray Era himself. We even had some media coverage. For the most part, we were dismissed by most media. But, the same media had no clue of the outrage that was building against the seeming oblivious errors that were foisted upon the people of California by the Gray one. Yet from a lot of small protests of that nature, we successfully got more than enough signatures to get the recall on the ballot. And, the people of California voted to recall Gov. Gray Era and, now unfortunately, we got Gov. Benedict Arnold elected.
The point being this.
The Dinosaur, Drive-By, Mainstream, Obama-Worshiping Media is dismissive of this movement.
Take this display by alleged CNN "reporter", Susan Roesgen with a Tea Party participant in Chicago. Yea, she sure showed how fair and balanced she is. A tool is more like it.
Then there is the crowd over at Obama Central, aka MSNBC. They are just so adult about it all. You know, continuously using the term "tea bagging", which is a reference to a sex act. Yea, keep it classy MSNBC degenerates. I guess when Fox News Channel is whipping you day after day, night after night, you are just reduced to insults. Sad, just sad.
Then there had been the self-imposed blackout of once solid newspapers like The New York Times and the Washington Post.
Do not let their biased coverage get you down.
This protest, held in over 800 different locations across the United States is just the beginning of a real movement. A movement to take this nation back from the abyss. From the socialism of President Obama, the big government and spending of former President Bush 43 and assorted Republicans interested in keeping power over some principles.
The rally cry for us needs to be simple.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
