We began by signing an initiative designed to enforce the existing state law regarding hiring of illegals (an Oklahoma-style law which has had fabulous results in sending illegals scrambling to neighboring states in search of work and free health care). Then we moved over to the main staging area where we listened to perhaps a dozen speakers voice their disgust with the current administration's policies.
The crowd was very well-behaved, definitely of one accord, and as fed-up as I've ever seen a group of people within the first three months of a president taking office. With nearly two-hundred posters of varying sizes, colors, and content, rally-goers voiced their support of the US Military, denying giving illegal aliens driver's licenses, cutting taxes, returning to small government; many took shots at the bailout and the trillion dollar Obama stimulus plan, among others.
No screaming, no AIDS-tainted blood-throwing, no profanity, no mock fetuses strewn about. Just a respectful gathering of respectable, law-abiding citizens, clinging to their Constitutional rights before the American Communist Party (you know them as Democrats) revoke and rewrite the Constitution into oblivion.
Last month in my home town of Battle Ground (population 16,000), a half-dozen mailboxes were smashed by vandals, presumably with a hammer or baseball bat. This drew two news vans from television stations from neighboring Portland, Oregon, some thirty-five miles away. Today, two-thousand folks gathered on the courthouse steps less than ten miles from Portland, and the event went completely unnoticed by the liberal government media complex, aka TV stations KGW, KATU, KPTV, et al. Odd, isn't it? Had twenty-five AIDS activists joined hands to protest dirty needles or a ban on same-sex marriage, a half-dozen vans would have beamed a live stream back to Portland TV towers which would have interrupted regular programming. Had a hundred leftists piled into a local park to bash President Bush's policies on the war in Iraq, news trucks from nearby radio stations would have gridlocked traffic for miles. Since today's event was conservative in nature and ran counter to the Faux Administration, nary a single newsperson showed (ostensibly, that is, since they probably had their spies reporting back to Portland advising that this tea party was unnewsworthy); only a solitary Sheriff's patrol car made a single pass, never slowing to below the posted speed limit.
Nobody cared.
Wrong. We got our point across, we showed our solidarity for over an hour, many made their own films, and certainly some, such as I, are blogging about it. We made certain the day's activities were not buried beneath the hoopla of NBA playoff action and the second week of Major League Baseball's 2009 season.
Mr. Obama and his minions already know about the growing disgust aimed in his direction. As he scrambles to shore up support lost on American soil, he shakes hands and makes nice with our enemies (Hugo Football-head Chavez is his latest chum as of yesterday). It's good for a man without a country to have a friend he can call on -- another America-hating fool, this one from communist Venezuela.
For once, Barry O. (President Faux) made sense: birds of a feather need a place to roost and a common place from which to crap on the United States.

Although I don't agree with what you say, you are such a good writer you should be getting paid for this stuff. It's May 8th---are you out chasing the wind in some dusty barron midwest state? Maybe you need to post on a smaller blog site where people could find you easier. And point to your blog in the various yahoogroups. ???
