What you will NOT find posted below are the idjet reports that the TEA Party movement has lost steam, is on life support, or has gone the way of the dodo bird — nor is the movement goofy and filled with right-wing loons. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just like the proverbial postman, neither rain, nor heat, nor cold, nor delusional progressives could keep folks away.
In fact, as a Lansing, Michigan blogger wrote
- Activists are being created out of the tea parties and We’ll be back but perhaps in another form….but expect to see MORE activism because… We are at war. We are at war with those who have methodically worked to dismantle our Constitution, torn apart our representative Republic, and who wish to put another form of government in its place. WE ARE COMMITTED TO FIGHT FOR OUR REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC.
There were Tea parties from sea to shining sea. More than 2,000 tax, Big Government protests in all 50 states, World Net Daily reported July 5.
And just in case you might think there are not unhappy citizens in all far reaches of our country, even in avowed socialist Bernie Sanders’ Leftie Vermont, in little St. Albans, one of six rallies held in the state, we find Tea Party protesters calling for change — and not of the Obama variety, either.
- A mention of Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., drew mild boos. [...]
Members of the audience said they were drawn to the Tea Party by a deep unease with the direction of government and the hope of becoming empowered to change that.
How about Plains, Georgia, with a population of 700 — 400 turned out for the TEA Party.
Then we have a clear picture of how folks are feeling about our country’s situation in St. Augustine. Tea Party Patriots, the St. Johns County component of The United American Tea Party, held its Historic St. Augustine Independence Restoration Reclamation Rally on the fort green at Castillo De San Marcos.
In case you did not know, between 1500 and 1800, the site withstood 300 years of attacks by Native Americans and Spanish, British, and North American colonials. In the grand scheme of things, six months of constant assaults launched from the Oval Office is nothing.
North Dakota blogger Randy-G at SayAnything sums the day’s events up nicely:
- As Independence Day has come and gone, it is really quite amazing to see just how many people took part in this movement. Nation wide it could push close to 7 figures. The actual numbers will never be known, thanks to a lazy and biased media, but they are not insignificant.
