Now this was great, it was for one Peaceful no arrests actually and come to think of it not ONE reported arrest out of the hundreds of thousands of people that protested in hundreds of cities nationwide, and that is great!
Here are some of the scenes of the protest here in Asheville NC.
Now when the local professional protesters you know who, the Anti-War, and th Enviromentalist people usually end with the police breaking it up and someone going to jail in the end. Not today, it was about peaceful protesting not "Showing your Ass".
Why is Asheville a loud mouth? Because everyone chastised the people for this tea party on a local and country level. All that was heard was "tea-baggers" and "tea-bagged" real grown up from the opposing side huh?

"Not bad for a bunch of Terrorists" lol
It was a group of people with their children crying out to DC to STOP SPENDING, and you know that scares them that so many people can turn off the MSM and think for themselves and how they want their tax money spent. Not on Pork, not on redistribution, and not forcing a state to take the money wether they want it or not.
It was sour grapes that a Grassroots movement that did not have a political ideal in mind, it was calling a spade a spade. So much for the loud crowd, all these idiots can come out to save A tree or bad mouth an ex president but no one can come out to call out the zoo both Elephants and Donkey's. Asheville How progressive.
Various sources have numbered the participants in the April 15th Tax Day protests across the US in the 400,000 to 1,000,000 range. How many people will have to protest before their voices are are heard? "There are none so blind as those who refuse to see". I don't know why so many American politicians have turned a blind eye and deaf ear to the shattered dreams of Americans echoing the cries of "We the People" all across this county of ours.
ReplyDeleteWhy is The "Tea Party" movement being demonized by most main stream media reports? In the news, common words keep coming up describing the American citizens participating in these "Tea Parties" such as unpatriotic, irrelevant, extremists, terrorists, ect, ect. When has the right of self determination, the right of pursuing the American Dream, and the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness became unamerican, extremist, irrelevant or have anything to do with terrorism?
What has happened to people who refuse to take the responsibility and the consequences of their own actions? Why are they so eager to replace their freedoms for the promise of state provided security.
Most people don't understand that "Money equals Freedom". With money, people have more freedom to decide where they live, what they drive and how much they drive, where their children go to school and where they go to college, what they eat, what they wear, where they shop, the opportunity to pay for medical insurance so quality health care & Medications can be provided for them and the million and one other benefits of having money to spend. So if money equals freedom, higher taxes are taking away the very freedoms we work for, strive for and the blood is being spilled of our fathers, sons, wives and daughters in the military fighting for.
In the words of the late Martin Luther King "We have the right to protest for right".
We must not let the flame of freedom die out in our generation, let us educate ourselves, let us network, talk to one another, let us gather together for peaceful protest and vote our conscience. Let us make a stand. Today is the day and now is the time. Let us be silent no more. Let one word be our theme and our cry. That all important, powerful and sweetly spoken word is freedom. Let us come together and raise our voices so powerfully that we will be ignored no longer.
