Simply amazing. Thousands lined the streets of major U.S. cities to protest big government. They brought their homemade signs with thoughtful messages (none of that “Bush = Hitler” crap). They brought along their children. They demonstrated peacefully. And best of all, they chanted “USA” whenever given the chance.
The success of Tax Day tea parties is revealing in many ways:
- It proved that ordinary citizens do care. They care about their kids’ future, their families, and more importantly, their beloved country.
- It proved that the Obama administration and the Democrats in Congress are very out of touch with America. President Obama pretends he’s never heard of these tea parties, further insulting Americans’ intelligence.
- It got on the nerves of the liberal mainstream media big time. Why else would they refuse to cover them? Or why would CNN’s Susan Roesgen make an ass of herself on national TV? More evidence of the MSM’s leftist alignment with the current administration.
- It also promoted the FairTax! (Hey, Chuck Morris is a believer!)
- It demonstrated that conservatives are even better with grassroots organization. These parties were not led or organized by political parties, established organizations, etc. They were organized by volunteers around the country. Conservatives get the last laugh when it comes to utilizing technology.
Nashville, Tennessee: 10,000. Rochester, NY: 1,000. Cincinnati: 4,000. Madison, Wisconsin: 8,000. Chicago: 4,000. Olympia, Washington: 5,000. Boise, Idaho: 2,500. Austin, TX: 1,500. Lansing, Michigan: 7,000. Jacksonville, FL: 2,000. Atlanta: 20,000. And that’s only the tip of an iceberg…
And those ACORN or liberal saboteurs? Probably decided to stay home and watch the rallies on TV instead. I have no doubt that they secretly tuned into Fox News tonight.
