A cool night and a patriotic crowd showed up in downtown Denver last night when the tea party express bus backed it's way out of a busy street. My estimate ranged at 250-400 people, with a small liberal pro-nationalized health care crowd trying to cause fights and anarchy to downplay the event. The bus pulled in around sunset, snow still on the ground from our October storm, and a partially veiled moon peeked out behind some clouds. The bus got stuck in traffic and showed up late, but during that time people riled the crowd up with their signs and the chant of USA and FREEDOM! The crowd ranged from the very young of 4 all the way to men and women in their 80's, of all backgrounds and walks of life. As the tea party started, music was played, spirits were high, despite the cold, (global warming didn't show up), and a patriotic sense filled the atmosphere. A wide range of interesting speakers and songs followed. One of the most interesting part was when the liberal pro-nationalized health care crowd tried to storm our tea party. They could not get beyond the folks in the back, where I was close to, and so they resorted to interrupting our speaker, (Deborah Johns, vice chairman of PAC), and trying to pick fights. These liberals were uninformed and ignorant, yet were most likely paid off by the look of their signs, which were not home made, and were met by Americans who knew the facts of the current Piglosi bill. You could see they were scared by the looks in their eyes, not by violence, but the general feeling of the populace that has been growing of late. No doubt the libs wanted violence to break out as to downplay and condemn the entire event, but we took up the chant of USA, and after some arguments, they retreated and ran. After this whole ordeal Joe the Plumber gave a great speech, and others continued on. They are on their way to DC and on Thursday will have another tea party. All in all, the tea parties show the general feelings held by the country, and these upcoming elections are proof of that.
Let's take back America. It's not just conservatives that are riled. Independents are feeling betrayed, republicans are confused, the democrats are fighting their own party wars, and those that are indifferent and apathetic are seeing this administrations continuing failures. We need to continue flooding the offices of our representatives with phone calls, mail, and protests. We need to continue battling the liberals who see their power failing with facts and knowledge of the current bills and situations that surround us and our fellow countrymen abroad. The uninformed are being surprised that information that we provide is contradictory of what MSNBC or CNN says, and we can prove our statements, such as how much tax increases will result from the Piglosi bill. Lets not stop now.
I did not have a camera at this one, but I found these two sites you can check out. Both contain pictures and reflections on the event.
