All In for Liberty - Michele Bachman at DC Tax Day Tea Party Updated Videos

One of the nice things of having a tea party down the street from the Capitol building was that we were able to see some good conservative speakers tonight.  Steve King, Jim DeMint, Marsha Blackburn, and Michele Bachman all came and spoke at the evening tea party. 

I really spent most of the evening paying attention to the speakers, so I didn't take any pics of the speakers.  Michele Bachman told us she is all in for liberty.  Andrew Breitbart gave a great speech, and didn't miss any words whatsoever.  I certainly hope that no TV station was playing it live, as they will be fined by the FCC. 

We had some Coffee Party people join us.  One was carrying a sign that said

I'm Ignorant

I thought it was my duty to go up and tell him that he was right.  We also had the "you are racists" crowd.  We also had the young kids going throughout the audience with their Che shirts on. This girl was very young, I just want to go up and shake them.  Do they read?  He is very upfront in his diaries, he was a cold blooded killer.  Just amazing. 

All and all it was a very good evening.  We had some good entertainment, the conservative rapper whose name I cannot remember at the moment, Victoria Jackson sang her "Communist in the White House" song standing about 100 feet from the White House, so that was pretty funny. 

Here are some photos. 

I was able to find some videos on You Tube.  I have this feeling these were posted by The Other McCain.  I actually got a chance to say hello today really quick. 

Conservative Girl Adventures - Progressive Activists Need a Roomate

I have a girl friend that is going through a divorce. She will really be struggling to keep her townhouse on her own, so she has decided to get a roommate so she has extra money every month. She was reading some ads on Craig's List just to get an idea of what other people were saying. She came across an ad from progressive activists that need a roommate. She and I decided to take this chance to see what was up, as they made a real big deal about the "progressive activists" part of the ad.


So we go to the house that they are renting. It was a riot. Now, I have no problem with them being activists as they are Americans and have constitutional rights just like I do. They are young, early to mid twenties I would say and they all met in college and became politically active. They went to Columbia; at hot bed of liberal thinking. They decided to move here after college so they could be more politically active, one actually works on the hill; but he wouldn't say for whom.

The house is in a nice area. We turn onto the street and immediately see signs showing support of the President. This is not unusual in this part of Virginia as it is a very liberal area; except for the fact the election was over 18 months ago. I would think that most people have removed their signs by now. I have long since taken down my McDonnell for Governor sign that I had up and he has only been in office for two months.

We get into the house and there are pictures of progressive heroes EVERYWHERE! They have a huge poster of Che in the living room. But, what was even scarier than the poster itself was the fact that under the poster is a side table that had candles on it. Now, it may very well not be related, but it was odd to say the least. It took every ounce of self control I had not to ask if they prayed in front of the poster every night before going to bed. I did ask if they had read his diaries, and they said no, they have seen the movie though. Another Shocker, having hero worship of someone that they don't fully understand was a murderer.

We got to talking; it seemed to me that they were trying to get the political slant of the person who would move in. One of them works in the direct mail fundraising field; a field that I worked in for a long time so I am very familiar. I am aware of where she works, and they do work for progressive non profits. Most of which are environmental organizations, but they also do work for Planned Parenthood. I asked her if she was a fan of Sanger and she said of course. I have to wonder if they know that she used to speak at KKK rallies, and her real purpose was to get rid of "undesirables" as one of the people who lived there is a minority.

I also tried to read the all the literature that they had laying around, but I couldn't really do it without drawing too much attention. They had a great deal about health care; they are fans of a single payer system. I also noticed that they are planning on showing up at the rally at the Capitol on Tuesday morning. They also must have attended the Coffee Party events that happened here in Virginia yesterday. The signs were not nearly as inventive as what I have seen at the Tea Parties.

It probably wasn't nice wasting their time in this way, but I couldn't resist the temptation. I had to go and take a look. My friend is much more liberal than I, but they went too far even for her. It was a funny experience that I thought I would share. I am going to look for them on Tuesday and say hello. I wish I could have taken pictures, but I didn't want to be forcibly removed if they found out that I am a conservative blogger.  I am going to print out some information on Sanger and Che for them, I think they should know who these people really are.  If they still choose to burn candles in front of them, then so be it.  That is their choice. 

Funniest Line of the Day - Bob Samuels Edition

"Furthermore, my advice for the president should also be taken up by all people in the center and the Left; we simply cannot be manipulated by the Right-wing and libertarian fanatics that dominate the blogosphere and airwaves but probably only make up a small percentage of the general public."

Dominate the blogosphere and the airwaves???  What world does this man live in?  Oh, and by the way, people who identify themselves as conservatives doubles people who identify themselves as liberal.  Nice try though.

Is Coffee the New Tea? - Coffee Party Activists

Marylander, Annabel Park, decided that she wasn't all too jazzed with the tea party message. She has formed her own party; The Coffee Party. She felt that the tea party didn't have enough compassion or substance. Park formerly worked on the senate campaign of Jim Webb, Virginia Democrat, and made a documentary about Prince William County's battles with illegal immigration.

 She felt that the tea party didn't have enough compassion or substance. She has formed this group to push "progressive change" that 52.9% of the country voted for. Her view of the Tea Party movement is they are nothing more than obstructionists who do not have the best interests of the country at heart. She wants the government to be the conduit of the collective will of the people. Hmm, the collective will of the people right now are saying scrap the healthcare bill and start over. I don't see that happening, do you? The collective will of the people is saying that deficit is too high and spending has to be curbed. I don't see that happening, do you? The collective will of the people were against the bailouts. The government did them anyway, did they not?


See this is where her argument begins to fall apart. Yes, 52.9% voted for Obama. But, not all of them understood what was meant by "fundamentally transforming America". 52.9% of the country did not vote for Obama to put an admitted communist in a high level position in the administration. 52.9% did not vote for a government takeover of two auto companies, and then give more rights to the union members than to the rightful stock holders. 52.9% did not vote for having KSM tried in lower Manhattan. 52.9% did not vote for a safe school czar who has given seminars on "fisting" and advocates teaching sexually graphic content to young children. 52.9% did not vote for 7 top attorneys at DOJ to have actively worked to free the terrorists at Gitmo. 52.9% did not vote for the DOJ to drop obvious voter intimidation charges against The New Black Panther Party. 52.9% did not vote for Andy Stern to be appointed to commission on debt reduction



Read the full article here.  It won't take long to see which side the author comes down on. I have no problem with the creation of this movement; I just wish they would be honest about it. They are forming this so that Obama will move faster on the progressive agenda that SHE voted for. It is also very interesting that media is reporting on this movement much more quickly than they did on the tea party movement. You will also notice that paper reported her documentary as being on immigration. The problems that were going on in Prince William County was about illegal immigration, not about legal immigration.
