Attending the one at Veterans Memorial Park in Sierra Vista, it’s in the afternoon, so we that work can attend.

We don’t appear to have one.  :( I sent lots of faxes and signed lots of petitions to be delivered to D.C. tomorrow.

I really don’t expect any of this to make much of a difference, but we have to try, right?

Does upgrading the Air Operations Center’s Weapons System at Barksdale AFB, LA, count?


comment by El Jefe  on  04/14  at  06:42 PM

I’m planning on riding down to the Washington Monument at 6pm.  Which Capitol Mojo?

Thomas M., I recommend getting tucked into the Elephant & Castle pub across from ‘He Who SHOULD Be On Mount Rushmore’ Plaza (i.e. REAGAN). :D

I’ll probably go to the one in Woodland Hills.


comment by The Ugly American  on  04/14  at  06:54 PM

Mitch!
I know what you mean; I attended SOOO many rallies, the largest being the one in LA at the Federal Bldg with like, a zillion physicians and it made no difference at all. I am done with the rallies, choosing instead, to make phone calls to beg people to vote for Poizner, DeVore and anyone else who can staunch the flow of corruption and abuse, on behalf of our government.
A part of me thinks we should all go underground, not give the MSM anything to make fun of us for and in November, surprise the shit out of ‘em.  Ah, that would be delicious. Besides, if they don’t have Tea Parties to make fun of on their ‘news shows’ how fun would that be? They may have to cover real news.

Nora, mitch… there is nothing in my area!
I guess I am not surprised that the Austin idjits are carrying their conspiracy theories elsewhere. So I will be monitoring the news and blogs to see what is happening.
I have a baad feeling about these upcoming rallies, for some reason.

Don’t let your heart be troubled!  Know that as we all attend and display larger numbers each time, others on the edge are encouraged to join in and make a stand themselves. Then they will relate their experiences to others with confidence, possibly spreading the enthusiasm to make changes in washington and on the local level.(all politics is local)

Be there and show that we are not cowering away and will remain a united front against the statist tyranny.

You have good reason, MIT, the libtards have shown their hand, they plan to show up, disrupt, make the rest of us look bad. They have no shame and behave in a disgusting manner, wherever they go. They are toddlers and as such, can not be trusted to be honorable. Now that there is an all-out effort to discredit us in any way they can, I’m not sure I’d feel safe either.

Dunno about feeling safe at the rallies…
but I do know that I will be praying for the safety of those patriots attending them around the country!

Melissa, we have what sounds like a pretty well organized group over here who have been in touch with the police and some of the media concerning the miscreants.  I think we will handle the troublemakers okay.

I’ve already organized to meet a friend for dinner. I’m gonna ask her for a change of venue, and we’ll stop downtown for an hour or so at the Statehouse in Columbus. Then head over to Mitchells for steak and potatoes and a dozen oysters.

dick, not-quite-dead white guy

I’m not much for big crowds, but I think I’ll wander down to the fountain at Kanawha Plaza in old Richmond.
I think I’m more like Nora, looking around, gathering information, planning a max phone, write, knock on doors effort and a focused education and giving effort for this Nov. election season.  I think we need to focus our efforts and money on districts where there will be a close contest, unless one has money to burn.
We need dozens more Scott Brown upsets.
I want Uhbama humiliated, gagged and bound.
If that’s racist, so fucking what? I’m tired of that son of a bitch apologizing for the United States, thereby demeaning about nine generations of my family who served in our country’s wars, who puts our young living heroes in harm’s way and postpones giving them the resources they need to win for three months while he boondoggles around giving snakeoil pitches and soliciting undeserved adulation, while he wallows in the perks of his office and tells The People to do with less.  I’m really pissed off that this infantile buffoon triples spending and deficits and isn’t man enough to own it but instead blames his predecessor, who publicly criticizes Justices for whom he couldn’t qualify to clerk for when they can’t reply, who employs a panopoly of people who, like him, took an oath to defend and support our Constitution, and regularly purposefully try to undermine it.
I want my country back, and the most incompetent, destructive president ever must be stopped.

I am not so certain that this will make any kind of difference either. Just there is no way in hell I am going to give the libtard media, including the likes of Maddow, Olbermann the opportunity to talk about how we are running out of steam and are no longer a force to be considered, let alone reckoned with.
If there are a few asshats form the enemy that penitrate our lines, we will deal with them. Certainly nothing more than bear spray or pepper spray, but they will have less fun than they expected.

Wish I could-- they drove thru town last week end-- some time even tho it feels like nothing is getting done—it will--- I feel like Melissa tho-- I’m worried that some nut will do something stupid--I would have a camera for sure.

The planned counter protest will keep WSP very busy.

Knine, were you at any of the other marches?

No offence M. I meant I’m a good guard dog if something untoward were to happen.

Going to the Jax Landing. There was a very good turnout last year,(noon time) and this year it is in the evening.  Should be packed.

( I mentioned this in another post, but....)
I will buy a beer for anyone that finds me and gives me the secret codeword “Kisper?”.  But you must answer a question only a true Kisper can answer. (and find me)
“Who is John Gault?” (yep a clue)

Az, I’d be disturbed if you did… And having met that lovely creature, there is much to admire there.

Just left Austin tea party. Small turnout but motivated. I’ll get some pics to the porch soon.

There’s another rally (libertarians) at 5:30. I’ll most likely hit that one too.

You made it!  I look a little different now. I shaved my head for st. Baldrick’s foundation on patty’s day and my consort won’t let me grow it back.
I had Jack, my blue heeler with me. I mingled. Talked to the minute man and the girl at the libertarian table.
May go back at 5:30, but got caught in the rain pubcrawling after. Depends on how I dry. (and how much I drink).

Well, a good time was had by all in Olympia. There were only a few tards with Oblahblah, Gregoire and hi tax fedishes and were irrelivant. There were about 3000 patriots.
There were a few others outside the demonstration area that had Oblahblah sportin’ Hitler mustache signs that you knew were rat bastard commie libtards. I jist told ‘em that they offended all that I stand for and they should go back to Evergreen State College (Berkley-North) and blow their professors to pass the course and leave us alone.
Anyways, I got a great picture of SondraK (she’s beautifully pleasing to the eyes) that I will post later (when grandchild gets home and shows me how) and I got to meet Gwillie and a few other nice folks.

Did not go to our local one after all ... took the car to get a flat tire repaired.  Husband is there, though, and says there is a very good turnout. :) He’s getting photos.

Sondra Darlin’, I’ll keep on protesting my butt off but I really think this is all heading somewhere darker…

oh, our Tea Party organizers seem to be saying it’s all about backing candidates now and not having protests. Dorks. Crowds seem to be freaking me out a bit lately. Survival instinct seems to be warning me away.

SondraK, Lympian Slayer

Mitch, I have to admit it took me about 1/2 hour to relax today. I was pretty hyper vigilant and I hear you on the crowd thing. It’s kinda why I felt I had to go...I refuse to be intimidated into submission. That doesn’t mean I’m ever going to act like a retard about it, just ain’t gonna let them make me feel like I can’t freely exercise my God given rights. It pisses me off enough that it all unnerves me so.

I am refreshed and encouraged, Several thousand generally enthusiastic and friendly people lining both sides of the Boulavard for 1.5 miles.  Tonight’s news should have some good numbers.

There were a few kids who were our crashers, a half dozen with plywood signs that appeared to take a significant amount of work. The only real excitement we hd was a drunk guy who defended teh 0ne but took off as a few of us engaged his conversation. Obviously the next beer took priority over the discussion.

On the way out I found these two.
