Thousands join in Chicago, Millions Nationwide for Tax Day Protest.
Alright! What a GREAT day we had at the Chicago Tea Party yesterday! It was good to see so many Americans come together as a nation and stand up to our extremely over-inflated government. The only regret I have personally is not having the ability to clone myself so I could have been at more than one of these events. I hope we see more soon.
Now, on to my assessment of the event. The whole thing as I see it was pretty good, minus a few flaws, the top of which was allowing Mancow to be the main speaker and not moderating his speech topics. Before I go any further with this you should know I used to listen to Mancow when I lived in the Michigan City area, so let me first say I appreciate his views and opinions on politics, but maybe he's better suited to do what he does best and stick with the whole shock jock thing. This event was designated to protest the Governments fiscal irresponsibility, period. There were people at these events from both sides of the political arena, and this was not about right vs. left. This was about Americans vs. Government. Mr. Muller thought it wise however to bring up topics such as gun control, an obviously right wing agenda item. Topics such as this should not have been the focus yesterday. These are items that draw lines in the sand and divide groups that should otherwise be brought together for the common good of all. When we get off topic people lose their focus and start to focus on things on a more personal level, bad idea Mancow. I hope that the next of these events that are held in Chicago do not serve as a batting cage for you to shout out your own agenda. It's okay with me if you DJ the event, but next time, maybe use some responsibility yourself.
Another thing that became clearer to me through this event was the unbalanced media coverage. Of course I've been aware of this for awhile now, and you hear it talked about all the time, but unless you've actually experienced it for yourself a few times you really don't get the full feel for it all. A few months ago Obama was here in Elkhart for his Town Hall meeting. The media frenzy was INSANE! There were news cameras EVERYWHERE, from every network you could possibly name. People had to actually duck and dodge to avoid being caught on camera or being pelted with questions from savvy news anchors. Yesterday was different. FOX News was there, of course, along with most of the local media networks, but it wasn't a frenzy. Not even close to the pandemonium I saw here when the Great One was around. There were a few people being interviewed, but it was brief stuff, and surely edited to suit the agenda of the left. It is apparent that whenever something goes down that doesn't jive with the NWO, it gets as little attention as possible. Good tactics really, I guess you sort of have to hand it to them in that regard. They really have a grasp on the power for sure.
I don't understand all the hatred out there from one American to the next. As people were walking down the street, peacefully may I remind you, some passersby shouted profanities out of car windows at the protesters. Aren't we all Americans? Isn't this supposed to be US standing UNITED for the better future of America? There comes a day when we all need to set our political views on the shelf and focus on the importance of what is truly in front of us, the demise of America as we have grown to know it. I grew up in a time where freedom really meant freedom. I feel that time coming to an end. If we don't stop allowing petty differences to divide us all we will never possess the power to ever bring the real necessary change to America. We will always be powerless and at the mercy of our masters. Slaves to our Government. Forever indebted to the greed of our "public servants". How does that taste on your tongue? The Government thinks we are all stupid mindless sheep, and for the most part, I have to agree. I truly hope that upsets some people, because until people get upset, they will never have the desire to change their thinking. Forget the left, forget the right, learn to think for yourself and the light is easy to see. It's NOT about Conservative, Liberal, Christian, Jew, White, or Black... It's about AMERICA... it's about FREEDOM... it's about LIBERTY! WE THE PEOPLE ARE A NATION OF ONE!
All in all, it was great to see so many people come together for such an important topic. Unfortunately, just one of these events will not serve the purpose. We must plan and hold many more of these, and hopefully with every one more people will rise from their couches and stand on the front line as well. The Government as it is now will never allow us to be heard. They will do all they can to silence our shouting. We met some really good people out there on the cold streets of Chicago. Thanks for the warm reception and thanks for the praise for the site. We hope you will all continue to do your part, in whatever fashion suits you best. America truly is a great place to live and we hope it will always be so.
