Yet Another Round Of Tea Parties?

I hope the pocket copies are readable

and not in the original handwritten form, so that the attendees can actually read it for once, instead of just having others tell them what is in it.

I'm so scared.

Wow, if this round of "tea parties" is as overwhelmingly successful as the April ones, I am SO SCARED right now.  There might be DOZENS of people out there!

I was thinking how quiet it's been about their 4th of July surge

I don't think their movement has much steam, with Perry making idiotic sucession comments, and Sanford and his south of the border horizontal Mambo.
I'd watch what was going on around Glen Beck and Hannity, they seem to get the biggest crowds. Malkin's blog also is a popular site for the saggy tea baggers.

I'm charging up the batteries on my camera now

Wanna bet the tax protest will turn into a Obama bashing party?

If his policies are going to raise taxes, then it goes hand in hand.

and it would seem...

that cap-and-trade will add at least $.70 to a gallon of gas, and make similar increases to electricity and natural gas. That then rolls downhill to higher cost for every single thing we buy and will add to the cost of doing business when we are in a recession and jobs are already being lost.

I wonder about a group of queers showing up to join the protest.

You know...

I think the LGBT community needs to take this as an example, and have tea parties to preserve our constitutional status.

For one, it would dilute the right wing's claim on "Americanism" whatever the heck that is...

Second, it might get some attention for us.

Third, it would piss off the right wingers, for the two reasons given above.

We could start in Fort Worth...

What we should do is CRASH their tea parties

With Blacks in slave collars, child laborers, and women barefoot and pregnant.Chinese in cooley hats, Native Americans sickening from Small Pox blankets given to elderly and children.
Have signs which glorify when the country belonged SOLELY to white men who owned property.

All those were bad things.

What does it have to do with being upset at increasing taxes?

The folks who want OUR Contitutional Rights frozen in the 1700's

Can have a good look at what OTHERS had for Constitutional Rights in the same period.
They can also see the LIES of what the Founding Fathers wrote, compared to their reality.

Taxation without Representation? Not quite.

Thats the odd thing about this tebagging initiative. If you actually mean to tell me that the Republican party thinks a tax hike is corralative with the American forefathers Taxation without representation with the Great Brittan then I'm here to tell you they're full of themselves. With how many lobbyists there are on Capitol Hill getting rich off the fat of the land, I'm not quite so sure the power elite is without a voice in American politics.

Tax Revolt

"Let them march all they want, as long as they continue to pay their taxes." - Alexander Haig, U.S. Sec. of State, June 12, 1982.

You would think that these tea parties would wake us up, since we have 1,000,000 more reasons to actually withhold our tax dollars due to how individuals and families are being denied their constitutional right for equal protection.

The often CRUEL suffering created SPECIFICALLY by federal hate (legal exclusion from civil law) should be enough reason to resist taxtation -

I've Got Your Tea Bag Right Here.

Let them have their little tea parties. I remember during the last little bit of tea partying, I had a really difficult time finding out what, if anything, the protesters were there for. It varied between so called high taxation, to having a black president, to just because its what conservatives were doing. Their last attempt at this was confusingly inconsistant, and I don't think helped their cause. It made them seem out of touch and silly. Ironically, now that they're in the political minority, its suddenly okay to be the voice of dissent. I seem to remember a great many people telling me how "UnAmerican" I was when I was raising objections during the Bush Administration.

tea parties

An appropriate counter-demonstration might be to show up with kettles of hot water and cups with a separate cart of lemon, sugar and cream.  But you had better bring tea too, in case they decide not to share.

the better deal would be to SELL them scones

Take their hateful money and donate it to gay charities.

I took a stoll on the darkside of the web

I was right about Malkin, she has a video taunting Janeane Garofalo to go to their Dallas/Ft Worth viper's nest.

She has a bunch of people of color on the video, and her own hateful self saying," What are you afraid of?"

It reminds me of the saying,
"I was born at night, but not last night."
