Just remember, a couple of thousand people at the G-20 Summit demands international attention and 20 photographers taking pictures of some old dude throwing a brick through the window of the bank financing his car loan.

Thanks Skip. I read the online version so I didn’t see the placement. Oh well, we usually use the paper version for starting fires anyway.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, lately devolved into a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party, ran the Philly Tea Party story in Section B, page 8. In the recent past, if 9 people carrying a piece of loose-leaf paper marked in crayon, marched to support gay “rights”, abortion or oppose the war it was worthy of Page One, with pictures and a follow-up editorial why we should care. And they wonder where their subscribers went? They went to news sources that actually report the news.

For this to mean anything it has to be only the beginning of something that grows and continues. We have been basically apathetic as citizens. It is true, we have to work to pay the bills, but if we want to get away from the socialist country that we are now, we’ll have to be both involved and vigilant and NOT silent. We’ll have to be responsible to teach our young people because the schools are working against us. It will be a full time job and there will be opposition. We’ll have to counter the media that is indoctrinated to oppose us, and the many followers who are indoctrinated to swallow the media’s pap and pablum.

The alternative is for the USA, the real USA, to go the way of the ash heap of history.

The folks who started this country had no choice but to put everything they had on the line, including their lives. We don’t have to risk that much YET, but we do have to decide if the USA is worth the risk or not, because it will take 100% committment and 0% apathy, and definitely personal risk to a greater or lesser degree.

We’ll see what happens.

Hey, I don’t have a website, but I love yours here! Found it googling Nashville tea party pics. It was an awesome day! As for the question, what do we do now? I found http://www.icaucus.org which has a good plan. The truths contained in that website about special interest spending and about how the parties are virtually one and the same because of the special interest money will blow your mind. Check it out.

Hey, LissaKay, congrats on the wedding!

I was at the Nashville tea party, photoblogged it. I got there late, missed the speakers but did enjoy the crowds and the posters. Fun times. My first protest, on my first day of officially being a maniacal ‘extremist’ (thanks, Janet).

Not the last, though. It gets in your blood.
