@Dan Gotten: I'm not sure that it's ironic at all, Dan.

I found it ironic that just before the Tea Parties, the Dept of Homeland Security issues the threat assessment that clearly identifies anyone that believes in GOD, is a veteran, believes in the 2nd amendment and states rights is a “terrorist”. Well, as Samuel Adams once said, “We will hang alone or hang together.” I thought that we showed the world that we are not afraid of political intimidation, that we will not go quitetly into that good night. I was so proud to be part of such a strong and brave group of patriots it brought tears to my eyes. God, through the founders of this great country gave us a very special place in which to live, worship, work in our chosen field and enjoy life to the fullest. We can not let a pack of socialist destroy what others have died to preserve.

@A Voice: You're absolutely right. For too long we've thought it acceptable to remain on the sidelines while we watched Government increasingly confiscate and dictate from on high. It's apparent that we no longer have an excuse. Our lax posture concerning the misbehavior of the Republicans and Democrats has brought us this refuse of an elected class, this slide from Republic to Democracy. I refuse to have a clear understanding of the inability of Government to perform even a tenth of its promises at even a tenth of the efficiency of the private sector and yet do nothing to thwart the coming Socialism. This is why I've thrown myself fully into the cause of building the Tea Party Nation, a social network dedicated to rallying the cause of limited government, free market, individual liberty types across the country (and even a few ex-pats, too!). Here we shall all meet and pull together to take on this well-intentioned but poorly thought-out threat from within.

I am so glad to see that I am not a minority. We do need to encourage everyone we know who believes the way we do to join in on the efforts to save this country. If we don’t, it may soon be too late. I want everyone to know that there is much more going on than just over taxing and overspending. We all need to become politically active and hold our elected officials accountable on every vote they make. Make it a point daily to check out what is going on in our government. We are being labeled as terrorists. The Parental Rights Amendment needs to be passed to protect our families from having the United Nations dictate our family life. The hate crimes legislation is being presented again and could be used against all of us who have conservative moral values. Religious freedom is in jeopardy, the right to own a firearm is in jeapardy, and the life of the unborn has long been in jeapardy. Life as we all know it as Americans is in jeopardy. There is just too much at stake here. We all need to wake up all across the country and make our voices heard. A silent majority is a disgrace. If we don’t speak up, we will have to endure whatever hardship comes to us as a consequence. Please help save our country.

I was at the tea party in Nashville. What a blast! I came away feeling hopeful for my country for the first time in months. Regarding another protest/demonstration on July 4, I hope this happens, but I hope it will not ONLY be a march on Washington. Not everyone will be able to go (either because of finances or family plans). I suggest MARCHES ON STATE CAPITOLS as well as on Washington, DC.

We who are the true Americans need to raise our voices to this Socialism that is about to take our NATION. Why did we risk our lives to give these persons freedom to not follow the Constitution and not to hold these truths symbolized in the US Flag. We now have a congress of Democrats and a comander-in-chief that are trying to take the freedoms from us. Our forefathers came to this country to escape these same idologies. We must stand together in this fight. We must be brave and do whatever is needed to get the country back fron the ones presently in power. Please consider having a tea party on the weekend. We will have many more people attend. God Bless you all,

For that Lesbil chick, yes I wonder if that is for Lesbo, not sure. Anyway, we can have services for our local government without being socialists! I know she drank the cool aid and is uninformed about our government. The tea parties have nothing to do with gutting services and not taking care of our kids. It is about responsibility, freedom, limited government and low taxes. You can’t spend your way out of a recession and give money to those who don’t pay income taxes in the form of a rebate or so called tax break! President Reagan stimulated the economy through tax breaks so the so called “Rich” could hire and expand their businesses creating a huge economic boom that the liberal teachers didn’t explain to Lesbil in her textbook! Cut spending and drop taxes on those who can create jobs, the rich evil business owners! The poor can’t create wealth. I never got a job from a poor person. I guess Lesbil wants the middle class gone so she can be dependent on government handouts forever. Her type is why we elected such a socialist as President.
