Tea Parties Driving Liberals and MSM Nuts

I attended a local Tea Party on April 15^th to join with thousands of others in voicing our displeasure with the recent bailouts, government giveaways and fiscal irresponsibility displayed by the federal government. The protest was much more than a protest about higher taxes, it was a protest against the increasingly irresponsible policies that are bankrupting our country and burdening future generations with a huge debt.

I am 60 years old and have never been to a political rally until I attended a McCain/Palin rally during the run-up to the 2008 Presidential elections. This Tea Party was my first political protest rally and I suspect it was the first protest rally for the majority of those who braved the rainy, windy weather to attend. The Tea Party was only one of many that were held nation wide, organized by a grassroots effort involving concerned citizens from not just the Republican party but Independents, Libertarians and even some Democrats.

The Tea Parties were a spectacular success, with conservative attendance estimates of 750,000 nation wide. You would think that 750,000 people gathering across the nation at one time would make for big headlines and lots of main stream media (MSM) coverage. You would thinks so, but unfortunately that did not happen. The MSM did its best to marginalize and even ridicule the genuine concerns of 750,000 United States citizens. Attendance figures were deliberately and grossly under-reported. Obscene teabagging jokes were made by CNN correspondents like Anderson Cooper as well as “journalists” from MSNBC and all the other liberal media.

Social media venues like Twitter had trolls using obscene language to attack and ridicule Tea Party participants and those blogging about the Tea Parties. There is a saying that if you are arguing with a liberal and he starts calling you names after 30 seconds, you have won the argument. So using that argument I would say that the Tea Party participants are winning over the liberals and MSM who have been mocking and attacking them with potty humor. The liberals and MSM are so intimidated and surprised by the scope of the protests and the fact that they were organized by a grassroots effort of people whom the liberals and MSM deemed incapable of pulling off such a feat has reduced them to potty humor and simply trying to ignore them.

I don’t know what the liberals and MSM answers will be to the next round of protests which are coming this summer. If they think this was a one time event they are sadly mistaken. No longer will we sit idly by and watch our country be destroyed, our Constitution be ignored and our beliefs be marginalized and ridiculed. We will be silent no more. Not only will we use the power of the vote to turn our country around but the combined sounds of our voices raised in protest by grassroots efforts. The Department of Homeland Security can try to label us “right wing extremists” but the founding fathers knew who we really are – Patriots.
