Excellent promotion for 9/12…good job…to those who put these together and for all the hundreds of thousands “real” Americans who came from all over this great land to participate!
You…are the patriots of today in the mold of those patriots of the past!
Keep it up…we have many more battles to go before…we will win this war…yes we will!
=============================
AmericaâŠit was a great day for patriots!
Especially after the anniversary of 9/11 yesterday and itâs somber memory of the terrorist attack that took place that day by Saudi âradicalâ Islamic terrorists declaring war on America and itâs citizens!
But let me say one thing in a negative vein. I was rather disappointed in the coverage in Washington and other cities around the country by Glen Beck today.
First, I expected him to be in Washington himself with the people! When he wasnât there, I certainly was disappointed, but it was probably understandable due to security reasons on his behalf.
But during the coverage I was expecting to hear more from youâŠârealâ Americans out there!
I saw too much of Glen and not enough of you! I wanted to hear you! I wanted to hear why you got involved!
There were some interviews scattered throughout the the 2-3 hrs he was onâŠbut it wasnât enough of what I wanted to see and hear! Every time Griff interviewed someone in the crowdâŠhe always made sure and stir up the crowd to say something to Glen about how they loved him, appreciated him and yadaâŠyadaâŠyada!
Enough already! Glen is not the story. Glen is doing a great job as many others are in revealing the truths of deception. But he isnât doing it alone? AmericaâŠyou are the ones that are searching for truths and spreading it when you do! You get just as much credit as Glen!
Donât get me wrongâŠI love Glen and appreciate the work of his whole staff! But Glen donât let it go to your headâŠfocusâŠfocusâŠGlen!
You have a missionâŠkeep on the path and continue to get the truth out! You are not the only soldier in this revolt amongst many!
Glen also had âPat the Democratâ onâŠthat I really like alot! He has lots to say and he speaks from another perspective, but one in unity with the ârealâ Americans standing up and speaking up!
I didnât think Glen gave him enough coverage, personally, I wonder why he was there at all!
GlenâŠlittle hintâŠ(and this goes for Bill OâReilly too) when you have a guest on for 5 minsâŠyou shouldnât eat up 4 mins of their time speaking and give them only 1 min to reply!
The best interviewer on FOXâŠNeil Cavuto. He respects his guests, he asks them a question and then sits and listens. That is how it should be done!
I appreciate youâŠand will continue watching and looking for the truths to be revealed!
Great jobâŠtodayâŠAmerica! Keep it upâŠthe war is not overâŠthis is just one battle amongst many to come! There is much to do!
=====================
THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY â SILENT NO MORE!
1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED
DONâT TREAD ON USâŠWE PAY YOUR BILLS IN WASHINGTON AND IN YOUR HOMESâŠBUT WE WONâT BE STARTING IN 2010 AND BEYONDâŠGUARANTEED!
IMPEACHMENT OR THE âORIGINALâ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATEâŠIT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!
Robert, we know you made that up
because CNN hasn’t reported that there even was a rally ;)
…and there are NO PEOPLE in the The N0bamessiah’s administration..just pure evil-worshipping LOCUSTS!
MSNBC said there was between 40 and 50 people. DC police said 1.2 million.
That’s the only view that’s being shown. Was there no arial views? I can’t believe there were no network helicoptors that have a wide angle of the whole area.
If these were Libs it’d be in the millions mark.
It’s an easy 1 mil. and probably close to 2.
See what we think about this march here:
We must hang together, gentlemenâŠelse, we shall most assuredly hang separately.

We Will be heard we had over a thousand people at our small town rally today in Richland ,Wa.The American people are mad.2010 be on notice you will be fired congress.2012 Comrade Obama you will be fired.
Enough people showed up causing Obozo to flee town for parts far far away from DC

What obscure network is CNN??
CNN lol headline was / is a missing person, no offense to the family of the girl missing good luck. But half the country was virtually there today for this.
Boycott and sell all TWX time warner stock.any product that bares the time warner label boycott it.
Neither the police in DC or the lame stream media are going to report the actual number of people that attended because Obama has given them their orders. Acknowledging the high number of dissenters would make this rally a liability for him and he still ignorantly believes that if he ignores the people long enough, and pretends that’s just a “fringe group” that we’ll all just shut up and accept what he considers inevitable. Fortunately for us, this will be his downfall.
Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death
Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.
No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free– if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending–if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained–we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!
They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Oh this was a protest against the white house I thought it was a redneck hillbilly family reunion.
Look at all the fat slobs in flannel shirts and baseball caps. I wonder if they served corn dogs and funnel cakes? If these people think Obama takes them seriously they have another thought coming. He left LOL He had no time for rednecks and hillbillies protesting a soda tax. Maybe Obama can charge a trailer park tax now that would really ruffle their fat feathers. I mean look at the people. Most look like they just rolled out of bed. Democrats would have represented themselves in a professional manner but what can you expect out of inner breeding rednecks who have webbed toes and aunts who are also they mothers?
PSSST………….Listen up…………Obama is laughing at you, the country is laughing at you………nobody is taking you seriously………………Fat slobs!
DC police said over 1 million – CNN said a few hundered
This movement is NOT going away – The left had better realize it or things are going to get messy.
Is that all you’ve got? 60,000 to 70,000 is it? I thought this was supposed to be a million person march? Only 60,000 to 70,000 stuck on stoopid, amazing! Anybody know where these folks came from? I’m assuming GA, LA, AL, OK and TX.
Quote from WND.com: “The White House said Friday it was unaware of the rally.”
DON’T THEY HAVE A DEPARTMENT CALLED “INTELLIGENCE”???!!!!
IF THEY WERE HELLBENT ON SNOOPING EMAILS, ETC., AND ENCOURAGING CITIZENS TO SNITCH ON EACH OTHER, YOU CAN BE DAMNED SURE THEY KNEW ALL ABOUT THE 9/12
RALLY.
WHAT A BUNCH OF ****-SUCKING LIARS! NO WONDER JOE WILSON GOT FED UP AND YELLED, “YOU LIE!”
From another website, a commenter who is a DC police officer, stated the DC Police estimated the crowd, 2 hours before the march began at around 1.2 to 1.5 million!
Larger than Bambi’s inauguration!
Well it’s criminal what the MSM is doing right now. They have buried the 9/12 story with stupid stories about bacteria and missing person that are local blotter and beyond nothing compared to a day that made American history.
There is no way that little crowd numbers 1.5 – 2 million rednecks. No way. Dream on.
Besides let’s say it is that many did you see President Obama taking them seriously? Nope he left to attend important matters, healthcare matters for his supporters. I would be mad if all these low lives marched anywhere near me. White trash, rednecks, hillbillies, all types that is beneath Obama
Don in LA September 13th, 2009 – 12:56 am

————————————————
Messy how? You going to send more hillbillies and rednecks to march? CNN reported a few hundred protesters and that’s what I believe. I also heard they were bused in on 337 buses! They accused acorn of busing in people and that’s okay but let the republicans do it and on this large a scale and it’s alright. Double standards should not be tolerated any longer.
We know Obama is laughing just like the silly little fools that are about to be slaughtered giggle because they are wetting their pants and don’t know what else to do. Obama left town because the coward couldn’t stand to see anyone oppose him. Dear Leader believes that if he doesn’t see it with his own eyes,it doesn’t exist. So he went away to a rally where people were paid to come and cheer him. The sheets have been pulled off the Marxist. We know who he is and he has been found out and we will drive him back under the slimy rock from where he crawled along with Reid, Pelosi, Emmanuel and that Hitler idot, Assholerod.
WTF?? September 13th, 2009 – 1:00 am
Is that all youâve got? 60,000 to 70,000 is it? I thought this was supposed to be a million person march? Only 60,000 to 70,000 stuck on stoopid, amazing! Anybody know where these folks came from? Iâm assuming GA, LA, AL, OK and TX.

The DC Police, according to many who were there, estimated the crowd at 1.5 million!
QUOTE FROM ARTICLE ON WND.COM:
Chelsea Schilling and Alyssa Farah
Hundreds of thousands descend on Capitol
WASHINGTON â The capital was rocked today by a taxpayer march and rally that could be the biggest protest ever â potentially dwarfing the Million Man March and the Promise Keepers Rally.
Though crowd estimates vary from as low as 60,000 to 70,000 according to ABC News to a high of 2 million by London Daily Mail, photographs and videos of the march and rally demonstrate its enormity.

He who laughs the hardest, laughs last. . .HarmonyJones, WTF??, Devon you shall all laugh last as you are told by this evil administration that you must give 80% of your wages to pay for the precious healthcare bill, cap and tax, etc., while you, your wives and children (if anyone could stand you long enough to marry you; therefore, I doubt you capable of having children) go without. Other socialist countries (I know, I worked for Germans) pay that much for all their entitlement programs. As for the 9-12 march today. . .my sister who is a TEA Party Organizer was there. She is a self-employed business owner, as was her deceased husband. You would like to believe this group, and others across America today, were what you claim then you could continue to keep your uninformed heads buried in the sand. Then, as we are all marched off to the gas chambers, you can scream from your ignorant mouths, “why didn’t someone warn me this would happen????” I have met these people, formed strategies with them, organized with them, emailed them, etc. They are professional business people, doctors, nurses, who are well informed, well educated, seek the truth, pay attention to history and care enough about their children, families, freedom, and country to refuse to let this group of corrupt people in the government take it all away from them.
It is the poor who surround Obama. They believe his lies, and the lies of those who follow Obama. This administration keeps dangling the perverbal carrot in front of the poor by promising the moon, stars and everything in between to get the vote. The sad truth is, they believe the lies instead of trying to make the effort of pulling themselves out of the gutter; hence, they will ALWAYS be poor.
Ya know. . .there is no cure for stupidity such as you have displayed on this blog.
You can count on more of the same from Libs.
They’re in denial – both in their sexuality and salvation.
See here for more:
For the first time in my life–”I am proud of my American brothers and sisters”. LOL–a little spin from the foreigner and his wife in the White House!
It will take the Tea Party Patriots a few days to compile all numbers but I heard in the 400,000-600,000 range. ABC says 60,000-70,000. http://www.americanparchment.com claims there were definitely over 100,000, but says that there is no for sure number yet. They actually have a great video done by CSPAN taping the mall from the Capitol Stair Case and all the way back to the monolith. They also have a sped up video of the March down Pennsylvania Ave from an aerial view. Its on: http://www.americanparchment.com/archive/2009/sep/sep_12_2009.html and the title is: VIDEO: Largest Protest Against Big Govt Since Election. Check it out.
60,000 you ain’t so mucking fuch
Devon the Dumb wrote, “Democrats would have represented themselves in a professional manner”…
Yeah, those Demos are about as “professional” as those skanks in the ACORN offices on those undercover videos!! LOL.
:-D
Just got home from DC. I can attest to all that the crowd was huge!
Several times they annoucnced that the parks department said 1.5 million and we spoke to
several guards that said that too. There was no media in attendance. I didn’t even see
a Fox camera. We did see a couple of helicopters going over, but haven’t seen any shots
that might have been taken from them.
No one paid us to go! In fact my husband and I paid 120 to ride a bus over 6 hours one way
along with
400 others from our home town. I really can’t believe that no one can understand that just
maybe there are people who care about the future of this country and care enough to go stand
for 9 hours with no one selling food and very few portajohns. No one complained, no one got
angry, no one cursed and amazingly when they left there was very little litter left behind.
Why is it that if we manage to find a way to get together we are paid flunkies but when
Acorn people gather to support Obama they came from the goodness of their hearts?
The people on our bus ranged in age from 7 to 80. We had black and white, rich and poor,
college educated and barely educated. We were a cross section of this country.
No one posted an ad on Craig’s list to find people to come. I hope next year we can do it
again and have 5 million in attendance.
2 Million Patriots according to this :)
WTF, Whatever the number, it was enough to run your boy out of town.
DC police now estimate the grass root protest north of 1.2 million attendees. Other sources put the number closer to 2 million. Either way, this is a protest that has been long overdue. For years we’ve had protesters marching for what they can get from government. The tone always anti-American and selfish. At this event, they chanted “USA”, “No more lies”, “Tell the truth.” and “hands out of our pockets.” They were not hyphenate Americans, these folk were just that–folk. Refreshing.
Worked a lot better than the million man march a few years ago.
2 Million?
And look! They didn’t leave the mess the pig liberals left when Obammy was sworn into office. But then again, if you live like a stinking pig Liberal, then that is normal behavior.
To Eliza W and the comment about the 337 buses. People came from all 50 states at their own expense. The folks PAID for their tickets out of their pockets. My sisters came down in one of 7 buses out of Pittsburgh. It cost them $53 each. I don’t know how CNN could have come up with 100-unless they looked inside the local Starbucks. I was there…please don’t call me a liar. Washington was packed from the Capital to the Washington Monument-1.1 miles. I was there. A police woman said that they were told to expect 10,000 or so and they were totally unprepared for the crowd. The march was supposed to start at 11:30 and it began at 10:10 because the area (Pennsylvania Ave and all feeder streets) were @ full capacity.It was about 2 when I spoke to her and she said they were estimating about a million. Stay in disbelief if you choose.
I hope that the misfits in the obama administration got the message loud and clear.
“Politicians should be changed as frequently as diapers and for the same reasons”. I wish I could remember who said that! Whatever your political stripe may be, there is truth in that.
“The fact that TWO DNC Certifications exist, both signed, dated and notarized by the same individuals on the same day, means that a very real conspiracy to commit election fraud was under way, and since it took until six months after the election to uncover it, the conspiracy was indeed successful,” Williams wrote.
“Are you still wondering why Barack Obama has spent nearly $1.5 million in taxpayer’s funds to race Department of Justice lawyers around the country to stop all cases questioning Obama’s eligibility before discovery can force Obama to open up his top secret life?”
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=109363
to read the story….
Funny how when THEY protest it’s “activism”, “civil disobedience”, for a good “cause”, but when those on the opposing side protest anything this POS administration does, they’re rednecks, ignorant, etc., etc. Makes me wonder who the ignorant ones really are. Then again, maybe they’re just ignorant hypocrites pretending they know something by making up facts rather than stating them.
BTW…Why wasn’t this the top story on ALL the major news channels last night? Oh yea, I forget….hypocracy.
We were at the march yesterday. It was peaceful, polite and fun.
There were people there from all walks of life in the United States. There were people referring to themselves as Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Independants and former Republicans and Democrats. All of the people there were worried about the country and the future.
There were people from all the states represented. They were from rural as well as urban/suburban areas. There were construction workers, factory workers, teachers, professionals and many retired people.
Everyone there came at their own expense. There were people wearing ballcaps and fedora style hats. There were people without hats.
Sorry to disappoint but there were no corn dogs or funnel cakes. There was one very enterprising, smart entrepenour selling soft pretzels right in the middle of Pennsylvania Ave. and he was doing a very brisk business.
Disparaging people from any group of states is wrong. There are both white and black, Democrat, Republican and Independant, educated and uneducated in all of our wonderful states.
Making theatening statements suggesting violence is not helpful. The very problem in our country today is people are rejecting the right of the people disagreeing with them to have their opinion. This is the right we have from the Constitution. People have the right to express their opinions even if they are factually incorrect or have no actual basis in truth at all.
If violence does come to this country, there will be much death, loss and suffering to everyone in this country before it is over. Please resolve our differences lawfully and peacefully. Work within the powers given to the people by the Constitution. The Constitution was made to protect us from the Government. Protecting the Constitution will protect us all.
Sorry Joe and Mary. From the impression we’ve gotton from CNN, ABC, NBC, and the majority of print media, all those there in Washington were nothing but ignorant, uneducated rednecks without a clue. Don’t you know you’re supposed to be like the sheeple of the ignorant liberal minority and follow “The Messiah” and his disciples without question?
The 912ers D.C Crowd was not hedges down there. That
was people we saw in those aireal shots.
From all walks of life: independent businessmen and
women, all races, employees and employers, tax payers and
tax consumers, who also pay taxes. These brave souls took
off work, got off their couches, stayed away from college
football for one day, and spent their hard earned money to
come and gather with like minded individuals to tell the
535 Legislators in Congress a simple message. Here before
you is just the tip of the iceberg. For everyone of us
standing before you, there are 100 of us back home in Tea
Party gatherings, or watching us on TV, wishing they
could have come and join with us today. Glenn Beck has
awaken the Leviathan and it grows in both size and
intelligence each day. This is the Revolution which will
NOT BE TELEVISED! Washington is about to go on a diet.
You are on NOTICE.
I was there in spirit, but to my shame, not in person. Thank you to those who attended.
A time lapse video? Just give the estimate of the people who attended. Why hide the ball? Unless, it didn’t meet expectations.
@ HarmonyJones
Oh Ms. Jones, how I pity you. Your bitter words are so typical of the frustrated liberals who can sense their final days approaching. You thought your days of glory had arrived, only to find that it was a brief shooting star in the sky of freedom and domcracy.
You can call the tea party goers what you want, but its painfully obvious that people don’t want what you and Obama are selling. And I’m not talking just health care, but the whole package. The White House’s refused to recognize the rally is their typical way of dismissing the opposition. If it had been a rally organized by ACORN or SEIU, the White House would have interrupted prime time TV praising it with a news conference. Mr. Obmama, you can’t WISH it away. It’s here to stay.
Ms. Jones, I would recommend that you get all the use you can out of your Obama t-shirt, because very soon you won’t be able to walk the streets wearing it.
Hey everybody! I was a proud participant of the DC Rally and was amazed by the awesome turnout. There’s one thing that’s been eating at me though. Will you people please start to spell Glenn Beck’s name correctly? Glenn’s name is spelled with a double N. I do appreciate the fact that you are listening, and are fans, but you really need to pay more attention.
Thanks, and keep up the momentum.
I wish I had been there to buy all the wonderful protesters a cup.
Thanks to your dedicated efforts;
Socialism has been eliminated from our great country! No more Amtrak, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Tennessee Valley Authority, crop or commidity subsidies. The financial institutions and auto makers must immediately return taxpayer bailouts and go out of business as they should have done. The death panels are gone, concentration camps are being dismantled, siezed weapons being returned, all troops returning from overseas, conservative talk show hosts are again safe from the fairness doctrine, all illegal aliens have been ousted, the size of government is diminished and federal spending vastly reduced.
GREAT JOB!
To Eliza Z,
You said “CNN reported a few hundred protesters and thatâs what I believe. I also heard they were bused in on 337 buses!” Talk about drinking the Kool Aid!! I guess you believe there were 1 or 2 people per bus! You saw the time lapse pictures. How can you believe ‘a few hundred’?
@ElizaW
Your stupidity is showing. . .oops! Chartered buses will only run with enough people paid-in-full, in advance in order to cover their expenses (like maybe gas, driver, insurance???). Do you HONESTLY think one person per bus could even afford the gas, let alone the driver? Obvioulsy, you FLUNKED math class. But, that is the typical liberal mentality and why you find most of the liberal democrats are among the poor, uneducated, living in poverty and vote for anyone who will promise them the easy way out. And, why the liberal fruit cakes have us in the mess we AMERICANS MUST fix and fix quickly least we all get dragged down the path of destruction they think is the answer for our country.
The Tea Party rally today marked Main Street America’s declaration that we own both our daily life and the destiny of our progeny. This was a beginning, the chess board has been set, and average Americans have made the counter move to Obama’s initial strategy of marginalizing our voice. It is, again, Obama’s move.
The thing that keeps me up at night is that he has very little to lose, while we have everything. By both our constitution and our courts his days are limited while we the people will bear the mark of his passage.
We, as a group – heartland democrats, feisty libertarians, free thinking independents and dog-eared republicans have shown that we want a peaceful and respectful dialogue through this march. We’ve said we expect to be listened to – and we’ve again exerted our position as the customer and the government as servant.
Yet what worries me is what will we do when – not if, when – Obama and the current administration push back with a power play – because I don’t believe this administration will accept the servant’s role. Will we rally when it hurts? Will we fight when it exacts a cost? Will the people stand?
@Patricia
Some will duel to the death as our founding fathers did; and, what established this GREAT nation we currently have – and, hopefully, get to keep. Some, will drop by the way side, just as some seeds fell on fertile ground and others died. That is why it is EXTREMELY important that those of us who are strong and in for the duration keep this in front of those that are weaker and can waiver keeping them engaged, pumped up, informed, educated, enlightened. We cannot let up for one moment, not one fleeting second. Talk to anyone who will listen, pass out literature, go to meet-ups in your area, host a website, do anything and everything within your means and draw in everyone you can. Look at how many people who were not previously politically involved are finally turning off their TVs, getting off their couches, out of their houses, attending TEA Parties, forming groups, sticking together, and not giving up. We must support all who do and know we do not stand alone.
We are only as strong as the weakest link.
It still amazes me how many Obama supporters I meet that totally refuse to dicuss what they believe he has actually done well since taking office. Not one single person will discuss this topic. Seems that it is obvious that a large majority of “hopefuls” voted for him and believed this socialist liar. I mean just start looking at the recent historical facts about what he said he would do and what he actually did.
1. Transparency: Not a chance…backdoor politics done late at night. Chicago style push.
2. No lobbyist hired: Over 15 just after he was elected.
3. No ear marks under his watch: Your kidding me. $787 Billion dollars of ear marks. Fools.
4. Bills posted on the internet: They not only didn’t post them. No one even read them.
I love libs that demand a body count. Once again libs, conservatives don’t bother with bureaucracy. We didn’t ask everybody to sign in, we were there to do work, not fill out time cards and waste time and money. You have all year to do that for us. Now go back to forcing your will on others and wasting trillions of dollars on paperwork.
I wish I could have been there! Some of the anti-American comments on this site make me mad. Calling us all rednecks and such. And to top this, Obama plays a polical belittling game by claiming, “I didn’t know about it.” This gov’t is completely separate of its creators and power providers. I hope this changes otherwise I can only imagine what would happen. And for the idiotic commenters out there, I doubt it would be in your favor.
I was there. The 2 million figure is definitely close. March wasn’t supposed to start till around 11am but the Freedom Plaza wouldn’t hold everyone. I had heard Friday that there were nearly 4500 buses chartered to DC that day. At 50 people each that is 225000 people. And doesn’t cover planes, trains and autos. I also heard about 500 motorcycle escorted one bus group in.
The Democrats just don’t get it! They are so busy blotting up their “Bleeding hearts” that they have no energy left to think. They think the march was about Obama’s Health Care. It’s not! It’s about protesting the power grabbing, union loving, socialist ideology that prevails in this administration. The protest is about Americans coming together to protect the constitution that had brought so much to this land. The following message clearly states the threat to America. The march was attended by true patriots!
At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinborough) had this to say about “The Fall of The Athenian Republic” some 2,000 years prior.
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. >From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.”
“The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From Bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.”
The abundance was during the 50-60’s
The complacence was during the 70-80’s
The apathy was during the 90’s
And now with all the bailouts, taking over the car companies, pandering to the unions and now trying to add health care into an entitlement package equal to 40% of the GDP, we have been weakened by dependency. As it says above: Dependency is followed by bondage.” Just say no! March louder. We will be heard!
It just amazes me how easy it is to get you guys to follow Glen Beck of all people. I have never in my life heard so many narrow minded idiots. million people my ass – and you spew out figures just the same as glen beck and act like quantity means anything. Well it does not especially when you have to lie about it. Of course how can I expect anything less when you have the great example of master lier Glen Beck. The man is an idiot, not even a college degree to back him up. He is a born again Mormon – who detests black people – and you expect me to take him seriously. Grow up follower sheep and realize the hate mongering you are spreading. You are dangerous and lethal and certainly not patriots. From your comments I realize this so called movement shows no respect for our United States. Shame on you all – this was not what our founding fathers worked so hard to create. And it is apparent that uneducated sheep like you all have no idea what self respect means. You don’t achieve fairness and respect by spewing hatred. Is this what you want to teach your children – God help us all – a world full of idiots
Here is a better image of the number of people attending the March. I attended I do believe there were circa 1 million plus Americans. This is a panoramic view of all three sides. This reporter is on the steps of the White House.
The Daily Mail in the UK originally reported 2 million but are now saying 1,000,000 conservative protesters were in D.C. A far cry from the “tens of thousands” the AP spewed to mainstream news organizations.
What this really is about is the federal government pitting taxpayers against those who pay little or no taxes at all,or even worse they get federal government handouts in the way of tax credits.Anyone who knows the facts about our government and how it was set up knows the federal gov is reaching way past its authority to take over banks, businesses and now tring to take over health care which would bring in trillions of dollars for the fed gov which gives them more power and control over the people and the states.Since when does the fed gov manage anything efficiently,social security is broke and medicare is almost broke we have to look at the facts.Our national debt is equal to each person[not family] in the usa being in debt to the fed gov of about 200,000 dollars,and thats before we pass health care reform,it has to stop are our country will go bankrupt,thats the facts.

If you had the attention span to actually listen to Glenn Beck, you would realize that he does not “spew hatred”. I’d also be willing to bet that you do not pay taxes. You are, most likely, a parasitic zero-liability voter.

Joe and Mary,Just wanted to say I liked your comment.It was refreshing to read something on this web site not full of vitriol.
I am a proud liberal,but believe we can disagree with one another with civil discourse.
DC teabag rally? Ha! What a laugher! Should have nerve gassed the measly racist crowd. That would have solved most of the medicare problems while raising the IQ of America by at least 10 points!
the left are very nerveous- 2M americans showed up in DC another 200M americans across the nation holding rallies at home – the only movement the left can muster is a bowl movement in their shorts……
Devon- the President can laugh at us all he wants, but we won’t let him and his friends turn this country into a place that we don’t even recognize. By the way, calling people names is pretty childish and proves you are the one to be laughed at. And everyone calling the rally racist are dead wrong since I was there, and I also happen to be married to an African American.
I attended this rally. It was my 5th march in DC and I have never witnessed anything like it. There were over 1 million citizens there from all walks of life. I met folks from San Diego, Missouri, New York even . . . we were not red necks, nor were we “racist or measly.” All age groups and ethnic groups were represented. When trying to debate, even through an online forum, it is best to discuss issues rather than insult individuals. This rally represented a taxpayer base that is genuinely concerned for the liberties our Constitution lays out as the standard of law. U.S. citizens have enjoyed unsurpassed individual liberty more than any other nation in the world. That kind of liberty requires personal responsibility and self-government from each citizen with a limited civil government as laid out in the Constitution. While America’s greatest sin and horrifying choice to enslave one group of people because of their skin color and greed is a part of our history, it is in the PAST. The Constitution guarantees equal opportunity under the law for all. That is what this rally was about. The fact of the matter is, even if this Congress and the Administration are able to push through all of their policies, things will not be any more equal. I thought history had already shown us that “equalizing” economics is a farce. You will always have an elite class, you will always have poverty. The best hope is to have a strong middle class that aspires to climb and inspires others to overcome. The group at this rally understands a simple, tried and true principle: you never raise one group up by tearing another group down. The middle class is in jeopardy of being eliminated if this Congress and Administration succeed. I hope every citizen no matter what their political leaning is can work together in getting rid of the corruption in DC, with big business and special interest groups. We have a common problem and it is not each other.
