in my local county there were 3500 at the tea party. quite a large number for a small town!! and of course a few trolls!
Isn't it ironic that Thousands of Americans protested today, Millions of Tea Bags ended up at the White House but the MS Media still has a bigger focus on BO the new White House dog.

Misspelled deliberately,as deliberately as Senator Durbin voted without reading the Stimulus bill, as well as the Omnibus bill and the budget. As for Acorn, my sign merely asks them to beat these tea parties without getting paid for it. Not going to happen. The Chicago Tea party was great and more will come. Thanks for the correction.
Works for me!
Sad to say these imps ARE well financed!
We've showed up for the parties, that is the easy part. Now for the hard part of now putting our money where our mouths are. I challenge everyone of you to begin putting back, a few bucks ($5 or $10) every payday for the upcoming elections next year. Think about it, thanks to the "Stimulus" bill, ACORNs warchest is loaded and already set for the next round of elections. We can protest all day long, so what! It is gonna take our money to win back much needed support in the Senate and House. We had better than 3000 on the steps of my state's capital this afternoon.
Chucky,
The Parties were a success and you can't stand it.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In order for the actions that are taking pplace today to have any meaning, we need to be as diligent as the leftwing extremists that have taken this country hostage. We stood by when they took prayer out of the schools, we sat by when they took the Pledge of Allegiance out of the schools. We have let them overrun our borders, free child molesters, kill unborn children, reduce the size of our military, educate the rest of the world on our nickel, and punish the middle class of this country. It is time to march on Washington, surround Capitol Hill, and demand change. Term limits for Senators, Congressmen, Governors. Jail those that have supported and allowed the corruption of our financial system. This can be done with the voice of the people, it doesn't take the violent acts that take place in our inner cities to get things done.
I agree 100%. I, for one, have no intention of getting quiet. Our job has only just begun! I hope others will join me in this fight for America!
Reg, here in Pittsburgh, we cheered for our veterans at our tea party! Therefore, consider yourself there in spirit!
Betsy:
You have no idea how much I appreciate that!
Give 'em hell for me!
You betcha, Reg!
Oh, and thank you so much for your service. You are a true American hero!
I knew something was bothering me, but I just couldn't figure out what it was….
Early this morning I woke in the dark knowing, finally, just what it was…
The "Big Picture" that everyone talks about must have been painted by Picasso…
I want to go to a "TEA party" so badly I can taste it. As a "damaged" veteran (I dislike the term disabled) I just can't make it.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone would let them know that I was there in spirit if not in corpus…
Thanks,
Reg.

For the Office of Homeland Security to even suggest that WE THE PEOPLE and OUR BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS MEN AND WOMEN in uniform are, or will become, terroists is just incorrigible. Now I truely am beginning to think that there is an absolute possibility that all of us (The Silent Majority) will be monitored; however, that will not stop me. I'm certainly not a Yellowed Bellied Coward. I never have been and never will be. I wish I could say the same for many, if not most, in Washington D.C.
Exactly… everyone benefits from the military. I have no problem paying taxes for things everyone benefits from. However, we both know very well that the military and infrastructure are not the only things we spend money on. The massive costs of government social programs are absolutely ridiculous, and often they don't fix the problem… they create a culture of people who are content to live in poverty and receive a check from a faceless government agency.
You made the statement that you are responsible for yourself and your son… For this, i respect you very much. In my opinion, nothing is more important than that. If everyone took this approach, if we had stronger family ties and fostered a culture of tight knit families who take care of each other, i think we could reduce the need for government welfare. I know too many people who don't support their own family, forcing the family in to poverty and often leaving no option, other than government welfare. Its very very sad, and i've seen it far too many times.
I'm confused on one thing- if you think the government spends tax dollars wisely, then why has spending exceeded revenue since about 1965? How is that wise use of money?
My point about the taxes is that there is a tax on just about everything, yet its never enough for the government. They are always looking for new ways to get more tax revenue, as if the trillions they already bring in isn't enough… in my opinion, we have to say enough is enough and stop the spending.
As far as government spending money wisely, you asked for a straight yes or no answer, which didn't leave any room for nuiance.
Government debt is not by itself a totally bad thing. The worse deficits (in constant dollars) that the United States has ever encumbered was to fight World War II. Most people would say it was worth it. Deficits have also been used to deal with recessions (like now). In addition, it makes more sense to bond out long term projects like schools or roads than to pay for them all at once.
However, I agree with you that the federal government has gone way beyond strategic or emergency use of deficit spending. It has become a way of life for the federal government because they will not make the hard choices they need to make. There is waste and abuse in social programs, but the big budget busters are the military, and social security and medicade for the elderly. As I said before, we need to get everyone to pay social security tax. OTOH, people who do not need social security because of other investments need to take less. We need to reform health care generally.
I have been watching here and listening to radio and have not heard anything about insurrection or secession. I don't know what you are watching or listening to, but you might try opening your mind and checking things out yourself. Do your own research, stop blindly drinking the kool ade.
Not according to the polls. Obama is still quite popular. His economic policies are way more popular than the policies of the republicans in congress. However, to be fair the Republicans in congress don't have any policies. It is all just, "No, no, no" and tax cuts.
Ok people, I am outraged. Fox reported that some of the tea parties, are being turned away from the treasury, and govt. buildings. They can't set up their mikes, and cameras.
I'm outraged because, the anti war protestors were everywhere, even during personal funerals of our fallen heros. And when we tried to have them removed, the judge on fox said, that it was on govt. property. Now folks…help me out here, because I am having a hard time understanding why the govt. can pick an choose when our rights only go into affect when they want them to. Freedom of speech, is just as much our right, and if we are on govt. property, than our tax money paid for it. Am I missing something here?
You are right Fox rocks – Certainly cant rely on MSNBC or CNN or any other mainstream media to inform us of what is REALLY going on in washington. Most media is unwilling to stand up for liberty and freedom on behalf of us people. They have frogotten us and they do not look out for us. Shame on them!
They are not Fox Tea Parties, They are the PEOPLES Tea parties. Washington has ignored us far too long. We the people want to be listened to.
Fox knows what an out of control government can do to a country who wants to control everything we do, say, hear, drive, and think.
When government steps into your living room maybe you will get the pictue.
Good Morning Patriots!
Sure we want to get out and press our ideas loud and clear this Tax Day.
As we travel to the tea parties, let's also FIX our minds on the POSITIVE.
What 5 things or people can we give THANKS for TODAY, April 15th, 2009?
Because we need never forget our country's blessings of today and the great founders of the past.
What say you?
My list is here:
One, I thank God for Pres. George Washington and the Founders of America.
Two, I thank God for the abolition of slavery in the USA.
Three, I thank God for women and men who served and serve faithfully in our military.
Four, I thank God for all the families and individuals who support 912 ideals.
Five, I thank God for Words to guide us, such as the U.S. Constitution.
Very well said.
I agree. Where do I sign up?
I am reminded of a movie of a fictitious president that was very liberal, popular in the poles, but was taking a beating because he was dating a woman and was therefore open to character attacks from the "evil" guy that just wanted the presidency in the upcoming election. As this fictitious scenario played out, the popularity of the president plummeted because he remained silent and people believed the tripe that was being told as it was the only side of the story being told. (Ref. American President)
While I can't stand this movie (my wife loves it), it gives some true insight into what being silent accomplishes. Being silent accomplishes the purposes of those that are against you because those that listen only hear the side of your opposition. BE SILENT NO MORE! We have the voice. Where there are wolves in these parties, let us root them out and expose them for the hypocrites that they are.
They do not understand the principles that we are trying to drive to Washington. More importantly they fear the voice that we possess. If you want proof of this, look at what is being done to counter the movement. If it is something that is not to be feared they would simply ignore it and watch it die as the tripe that it would be. This is something that for many years I expected to happen with their voice, but no longer. They are passionate about their movement which in my view is destroying all that makes this country great. They also understand how this passion can fuel a movement and would crush any such movement that would oppose their views.
Keep strong. Expose the traitors to the cause for who they are. And let your voice be heard. It is time to show this country, and the world who we are and what we believe!
Were at a Turning point. A teeter todder. We really have a Gestapo in Washington today. Americans need to pick a side, literally. Its coming down to sides of the left or right. These tea parties going on, good. Washington demonizing protesters. Which is really Gestapo type oppression. Our prez cannot bring his Birth cert to bare. THE Presidents Aunt is an Illegal. Where are Americans???…… Whats the big picture? can you look ahead 5 to 10 years? Whats next? I don't think there is another 10 years.
We will be Russia in less than 3.5 yrs. Were silent. Good luck Tea parties.
We were meant to be free.

Actually, my friend, the non partisan CBO said that, in the long run, doing nothing would make our economy contract less than it would with the stimulus put into play. In other words, our economy is better off without the stimulus, according to the non partisan CBO.
Sorry, amigo, i'll take the CBO's assessment over yours.
First, I am not your friend.
Second, please link this CBO Report. I think it is a conservative urban legend.
I'm not doing your research for you.
Peter Orzag disputed the CBO claim… so perhaps you're more inclined to believe a partisan Orzag over the non-partisan CBO.. or perhaps you'd prefer to believe that shining example of non-partisan media, the huffington post.
Is there anyone who knows how to use twitter and/or facebook, that is also on Free Republc?
Honestly, your justification for that outlandish statement is a screenshot from FoxNews. It appears to me, that the screenshot simply shows the locations where four television personalities will be on April 15th doing their jobs as reporters and covering a large event. When you actually have some legitimate proof to back up your claims perhaps then I will be able to take your opinions as serious commentary rather than whimsical jargon based solely upon political party lines.
For future comments, please stop with the "republicans are stupid" or "democrats suck" non-sense and start making some real legitimate arguments. We're all adults, let's start acting like it.
P.S. I know that I am not getting paid to go tomorrow and I sure as hell know that there aren't any "Right Wing Funded Tour Buses" taking people to the protests. Unlike some recent protests, i.e. ACORN funded AIG protests, tomorrows tea parties are simply gatherings of Americans who have kept their mouths shut for too long while watching the Washington Beauracracy grow to uncontrollable levels over the last, probably 20 years. They are not political party-based protests; they are anti big-government protests. Most people are just as sick of the Republicans' irresponsible spending over the last 8 years as they are about the irresponsible spending by the Democrats over the last 4 months.
ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE SILENT MAJORITY:
We are silent no more! Tomorrow is another big day in our quest to restore our country to our founder's values and adherence to and protection of our constitution. The mainstream news and the federal government don't want us to think they know whats going on… Trust me they are VERY aware of what is going on and they don't like it one bit! They wouldn't want to infiltrate something that they weren't very aware of, and highly concerned about. Right? They are also angry that we were able to amass so many people without any help from their "government owned" mainstream censored disgrace of a media! They desperately hope that this is the end of it tomorrow… Boy have we got news for them, and as we have already proven, we don't need any help from their mainstream news puppets to do it. We love our country and more than that we love our freedom and our RIGHTS. Many of us including myself, have never involved ourselves in any type of protest in our lives. Many of us used to go and vote, the go back to our everyday lives, believing that the people representing us in DC would do what was needed to protect our values and our constitution. Well many many many people have realized in the past few months that our representatives in DC are NOT PROTECTING our values or our constitution! We will NOT stand for this, we will not just go back to our everyday lives and ignore what is going on. We have been driven to action, and we will continue to act endlessly until our values and our constitution are secure once again. We will stop at nothing to achieve this.
See you at the Tea Party!
I'm going to buy some beachnut, so I can spit it in thair eye's!!! If you have heard the song you know what I mean.
Think of a better one will you? Sounds like you are worried! Good!
Leave the Country we are so devoted to? Never! What we will do is "change" it back to the way it was before the liberals, atheists, and anarchists polluted it! We'll keep our freedom, guns, and money. You libs keep "the change!"
Is anyone here getting paid for going to these tea parties? I thought not. Hey little acorn agitator. Get off the air!
Only the ones from ACORN and HUffington Post
I'm getting paid… and the currency is pure satisfaction. Let's wait and see how many people will turn out for the tea parties…. i have a feeling there are going to be a lot of folks showing up to protest the trillions in spending that has occurred in the past 6 months.

The Chicago tea party was absolutely great, with so many people they could not all fit into the plaza of the Dirkson federal building. They were jammed to the curbs and beyond! Others marched from the Daley center. Everyone there took down the necessary information to keep coordinated from here on in, so this is destined to grow. I would say that the Tea parties are going to be viewed as successful! And it doesn't even matter if the media or our representatives listen. I am more certain now that in 2010 the majority will be lost to Obama. from there we will move on to control the behavior of our representatives.
Want to know why they said that about the Veterans? Because we took an OATH TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION FROM ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC!
hooah!
Pass the ammo!
Chief,
You must be talking about fear that we'll get fired up and violent; it is not bad when government fears the people. It is bad when people fear government. We veterans are FOR THE PEOPLE and always have been, we're just a little more prepared than most for what is to come.

Chief, My thought exactly, I believe you are right on the money on this one.
Chief, My thoughts exactly. I believe you are right on the money on this one, if you'd bet, you'd win !!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheif you said it very eliquently thank you
I have one sign "YOU SWORE TO PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION -WE THINK YOU LIED"
Ubirajara,
Point 1
HOW DO YOU COOK A LIVE FROG? set it in water that is room temp and slowly heat the water. if you do it slowly enough, the frog will be cooked before it knows what happened. Now, i've not developed a taste for frogs but the illustration is clear. Why would we be ok with small increases if we know were they lead?
Point 2
My family immigrated to this country directley BECAUSE of what the rest of the world is like. Why, why would we think its ok to go backwards instead of leading the way? Have you aquired what ever wealth you had in some dishonest, shameful way?
from wher did they imigrate from
I'm from Chicago. My signs read "HEY ACORN! BEAT THIS!" with arrows pointing in every direction! Another one reads, "VOTE OUT DUPED DIRBIN AND BIGOT BIGGERT!" {My US Senator and Congresswoman} and "IT'S MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW!" "WHO IS BOSS? WE THE PEOPLE." This is going to be fun!
You may want to spell Senator Durbin's name right. ACORN indicated that they will not be involved in the Tea party rallies.
Remember NEVER RIGHT EVER Have fun tea bags I will be laughing at the sideshow!!!!!!!
BlueBalls25,
We do not want to go any further with this Country. We LOVE her the way she is…we love our capatalistic society, the American Dream, and our First and Second ammendments.
The right wing still WRONG- NEVER RIGHT- EVER. I see we haven't gotten any further
Tomorrow should be an interesting day. I'm looking forward to seeing how many people are willing to show up and protest this disgraceful government. We really do need to consider a march on Washington D.C. There needs to be more than a couple million present to let the government know this not just a few right wing radicals. All freedom loving Americans should be very suspect of this current government.
I will pray for you. Don't puke on yourself, I know it burns when someone prays for your soul.
Ella, read Saul Alinsky's rule for radicals, this will give you insight to the tactics being taught and used by those who are not informed. Attend a Tea-Party, stand your ground and stand by your beliefs. What I see coming is a corrupt Federal Governement fueld by both Dems and Repubs causing the failure of our nation. The Tea-Party is not all about anti-taxation, it is a forum for WE THE PEOPLE to let the power brokers in Washington know that what they are doing at this time and for the past 30 years is no longer acceptable. So be a revolutionary and stand your ground. Make your parents proud for the education they offered you and you accepted but most of all, BE PROUD OF YOURSELF!
I am attending a Tea-Party for the reasons you stated. I always have and always will stand my ground, because to do anything else would not only be cowardice, but it I have given into the politicians in D.C.
Ella, thank you for satepping forward. I am in my fifties, but six years ago I was attending college full time. I spent my time battling Liberal teachers who spewed their Liberalism as if it were a form of religion. Eventually I wrote the conservative column for the school paper, unfortunately the damge was too widespread. I was able to convert a few to the conservative side by standing my ground and relying on the history I was taught. Currently I teach my 10 year old daughter to read and analyze history, to see what is happening to our country today and relate it to the past mistakes. I take my task seriously, so seriously in fact I have taken her from Public school education and moved her and her sister to a CAtholic School where morals, ethics and responsibilities are taught, along with History and the basics necessary to go forward in life.
Ok everyone repeat after me, "Zeig Heil Obama" or it will be prison camps and reducations facilities for us all by order of the Reichsfurer Napolitano, the arrogent right wing extremeist americans that we are.
Sounds good to me! Seems people are thinking July 4th? Let's take it to where the horrible decisions are being made.
winecup: he only listens to MSNBC, thus, he is not getting true information. This is what happens when news channels don't present both sides. Maybe the media has created this alien party. That's my last word as he is butting in to our conversation.
I've been helplessly watching the politization of history for about 30 years, both as a professional tutor and as a substitute teacher. Thank fortune there are still well-informed, literate youngsters out there who want to learn! Bless you, Ella10!
Unfortunately, the percentage that I am in is still rather small compared to the rest of the college populace, but I still do my part any way I can.
I do understand, believe me! But even a small voice can be influential. Those of us who have fewer years left to us need to know that our children & grandchildren believe in liberty and are willing to say so!
I want to go to the Tea Party tomorrow here in Austin, but because I watch my 4 yr old grandson, I won't be going. He is the reason I want to go , because I want him to grow up in the same strong America that I did, and that his great uncle gave his life for- but Austin is the Liberal stronghold of Texas, and just the thought that there could be violence does it for me. In case you didn't know- this area was only SECOND to Chicago in fund raising for the elections. That ought to give you an idea of what I am talking about. Folks, don't take your kids– keep them safe at home– who knows what these people have in mind, but just from other rallies I have been to here– WOW. God bless America
Thousands of good AMERICANS WILL KEEP YOU SAFE.BRING HIM AND DON'T WORRY!
Don't worry, the ACORN reps I saw during the election looked pretty easily put down; they may come in numbers, but they appeared on TV as truly uneducated people; bad english, bad teeth, easily fooled, and no knowledge whatsoever of this country; they are only Obama lovers and that's not much of an argument. They are just following their black leader into oblivion. They know not what they do. The ones protesting the tea parties are of no consequence; the ones in the offices are as they are being charged with voter registration fraud.
I served eight years in the USMC and swore to protect and defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. That oath much like the constitution means something to me. This small service to my country is obviously more than you ever done for this country.
I'll be remembering the Alamo! So excited!
We no longer have three branches of the Federal government. The House and Senate are now just an extension
of the Executive Branch. And we have a silent Judicial branch that will not exert power to stop the unconstitutional
actions the other two. We now have a government with a Julius Caesar (Obama).
What Julius Caesar did is the same thing that Obama is doing.
After assuming control of government, he began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He was proclaimed dictator in perpetuity" (dictator perpetuo), and heavily centralized the bureaucracy of the Republic.
Hey brother! Right you are and look how that turned out! I think this happened because WE were not paying attention and unfortunately, many still won't step up! Let's run for Congress – imagine a group of old CPO's – we could really fix things as we always do, what do you say?
Retired Chief 2
Thats what we need a Chiefs Mess in DC. That would be great.
This country has little to no knowledge of history and that is part of the problem. My generation doesn't know anything about WW2 or the people that were murdered; the scapegoats that were created because there is no one around to tell us differently any longer. As a 22 year old college student, I spend a lot of my time arguing politics with my friends. I'm not like most average students in my generation; I'm informed; my parents made me that way because they know their history.
But people just want to bury their heads in the sand or wear their rose-color glasses and pretend that nothing has changed. People want to go around and feign ignorance that 9-11 didn't happen and they hate that we speak up against the current administration. They say we are nothing but traitors because in the end, they have no other name to call us. They fear someone upsetting the precious balance of their own “perfect” reality that they themselves have created. God forbid we should be informed, but that's all the politicians want. They want to control what we know and what we learn because knowledge is power and if we don’t have that knowledge, then they have the power.
I’ve spent far too much time yelling and screaming at the television in the last few years over issues in the political spectrum and I’m sick of it. It is my belief that many others have as well and finally we have a voice loud enough and demanding enough that someone will have to pay attention. It’s about time.
And a big problem for students is they are being lied to by liberals who put "facts" in textbooks that aren't facts. And many of them are finally being called on the carpet for their mis-interpretation and writings in these textbooks. There are organizations that actually review textbooks and fact-check everything. The liberals are deliberately misleading students so they will be against anything or anyone who is in the center. This is their way of getting students to lean left, and they use lies to do it. Parents are waking up and taking notice of what is being taught to their children.
I can't disagree with you…..you are very much correct in this. It's just sad that it has had to go to this level before people are finally seeing what has been in front of their face for so long…
Your parents did a good job teaching you what the schools didn't, and they should be proud of you. Unfortunately you are a rare member of your generation. As an Air Force veteran of almost 12 years, of which I spent the majority overseas, I learned things in different countries, ie. to respect and learn from the older generation. Things they can teach you cannot be taught in school. My children have had that explained time and time again, and now they know. I've seen how they've listened to "the old timers" tell of times past, and have learned lessons through another's experience. Reading your comments, I must say that I am as proud of you as I am of my own children. Never let someone else do the thinking for you. If I may give you a word of advise that I've given all of my children. A smart man learns from his mistakes, but a wise man learns from others' mistakes. God bless and keep the faith.
Ever since I was a little girl I have always listened to "the old timers" and have enjoyed every minute of it! I love hearing about their history and experiences and it makes me realize that they had it so hard, they worked for what they have now day in and day out and truthfully it makes me realize how easy I have it because of them. It also makes me realize that I have a long way to go before I can say I understand what they went through to survive.
You are not the only one. We too yell at our tv. I've been a little busy these past 2 weeks doing my part in getting our local tea party together. Can't wait til tomorrow!!
P.S. Glad to hear that there are still some informed young people out there. It is you and others like you who are the future of this country.
A short history lesson. On the 19th day of April in the year 1775 there was a confrontation between 300 colonist and a group of British on the Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusettes. Unlike past confrontations, the colonists came armed this time and drove the British back. This small but important battle boasts the Shot That Was Heard Around The World. Tomorrow's tea parties held throughout this great nation, done in unity may become the SHOUT That Was Heard Around The World. Cling to your values, beliefs, and morals, and Unite for the common good of this nation.
I teach kids in college about Vietnam all the time. They always get stuck with the debate side of why we should have been in Vietnam. the Teachers pets gets the why we shouldn't have been in Vietnam.
My group is 151-0 against the teachers pets.
If you truly want the truth about Vietnam, go to http://25thaviation.org and use the history links. What they teach kids in school today is a total lie.
Like how do you get stuck with a loss when you had been gone for three years? We were winning when I left.
ELLA10, YOU GOT IT GOING. I TOO AM UPSET ABOUT THE NEW TITLES WE GAINED RECENTLY FROM HOMELAND SECURITY. I GUESS I AM JUST A RADICALIZED RIGHT WIND EXTREMIST, SOUTHERN REDNECK, RETIRED, VETERAN PATRIOT. 'NUFF SAID. I DON'T CARE WHAT LABEL THEY PUT ON US I STILL KNOW WHO I AM AND WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE NOT. THEY ARE TRAITORS TO THE PEOPLE AND THE CONSTITUTION AND AS OLE G.W. SAID, IT WILL BE A LONG HARD FIGHT BUT WE WILL PREVAIL. YOU HANG IN THERE AND GET ALL THE KNOWLEDGE YOU CAN SO YOU CAN PICK UP WITH THE FIGHT FOR US OLD FOLKS.
Oh Ella, you need a hug- I forgot how hard it was listening to all that socialist claptrap…and then having to PAY for the honour to receive said brainwashing. I wish you a speedy graduation and shiny bright future!
acheyjake: where have you been? Missed your comments. I'll be watching all of the tea parties on the tube tomorrow as I pack to return to Texas on Thursday via Houston. Then off to DFW area. But I'll be glued to the tea parties all day tomorrow!
I don't know what to say about that Islandsox, you are so very kind, friend. I'll be working Wednesday morning from about 6:30 a.m. until we get the job done. Most likely, my partner and I will work a long day and we will not have the opportunity to attend a Tea Party, but we will honk our truck horn three times at twelve noon in honor of all who attend the tea parties.
Did I miss something here Islandsox…

Yes, and they are ALL promoting bama's agenda. There is scarcely anyone in either branch of congress standing up and fighting all this spending, writing and passing one bill after another to infringe on our rights as US citizens. Isn't "Mandatory volunteerism an oxymoron????
Which is why we have to get as many of our "representatives" out – party affiliation doesn't matter. Personal integrity does.
Fabian Socialism, the live frog analogy. Our countries freedoms have been being eroded under our noses, while we slept, for a long time. We are the frogs and we're just noticing that the waters getting hot. You are right our government here in the US is unique and should not under any circumstances become like anywhere else. People have immigrated here because of the promise of freedom. If the US were to go backward or morph into something else, there is no country out there like ours.
Easy…main stream media is not free press anymore—it is state run media and will not report anything critical of bama or his hired thugs ACORN.
Yeah, that's a reasonable explanation: Every journalist, news network and blog within the US is "state run media".
That's using your head.
Susan isn't wrong. It isn't "free press" any more and it hasn't been that way for a long time. Keep in mind she didn't say "every journalist, news network, and blog", she said main stream media. There is a significant difference between the two.

Now, i've not developed a taste for frogs but the illustration is clear. Why would we be ok with small increases if we know were they lead?
Point 2
My family immigrated to this country directley BECAUSE of what the rest of the world is like. Why, why would we think its ok to go backwards instead of leading the way? Have you aquired what ever wealth you had in some dishonest, shameful way?
Dimimak, they are children with no original thoughts and have no idea how bad it can get, nor do they really appreciate the freedoms they have here thanks to the folks that rise up continually to protect the constitiution. Thank you for appreciating what you and your family have come to understand about this great nation. Sad to say, there are many born here who do not even appreciate what they have.
Hello friend,
Frogs don't live at room temperature in the wild or natural habitat. Please define room temperature for a frog. Please define room temperature for each type of frog you are cooking, friend. Please define the room temperature of each frog you are cooking and tell us all when the different frogs you are cooking know when they are being cooked…..or boiled, actually.
The premise of your post is false and weak.
If you are making an analogy and your point is that conservatives don't know that they are being cooked in luke warm water and that that water will eventually boil, I understand that, friend.
Just understand, friend, that conservatives are not frogs. We know when there are people trying to "cook" us.
Take care friend.
Who the hell is cooking frogs?
Your premise is false my friend.
If there is even a shred of truth to this, then why is it reported only on some Canadian website and not an American one? Does anyone have an answer?
Do you think I'm rediculous when Homeland Security sends a memo to law enforcement agencies around the country to be wary of Right Wingers. The document title is "Right Wingers"? Our government is responsible for Ruby Ridge, Waco, and putting a gun in the face of Ilian Gonzalez and then shipping him off to Cuba. Now that I think about it, yea you are right I am being ridiculous.
BTW. This protest is not about taxes, it is about a government that has piece by piece over the course of 70 years or more been destroying the constitution on which it was founded.
