I am not sure I understand. Are you suggesting only people with jobs are complaining or did I miss it?

they didnt vote for him anyways, so why the fuck would he care? where were these ppl for the patriot act or the NSA program, unpaid Drug Prescription bill, bank bailouts, etc. none of these fools protested, they all stayed home. I cant see a single black or hispanic person in that crowd. Looks like a Klan meeting

Not discounting anything, just pointing out that when conservatives in the minority and unhappy, you get this. When liberals are in the minority and unhappy (as in the first 6 years of Bush), you got... nothing like this.

No need to play the victim in that one, you should've been agreeing with my original statement.

My views are the views of some of those speakers. Not all of course. The underlying FACT that Washington is out of control and has been for quite some time. FOX and the right has taken over what was originally grassroots efforts. I was part of the initial effort. At the very first protest in my town with roughly 100 people. Last few I've attended including today's thousands of people. It only gets bigger from here.



Government has been nothing but a complication in my life for as long as I can remember. Without getting to personal should I start where my house was swat teamed at age 13 because I didn't show up for the start of the school year? Or where on that same day they took my younger sister off to live with some unknown "family" and wouldn't allow anyone in the immediate or extended family to have any more than short term visits for over a year until the courts decided where she was going to live?

It is about all of those things. It's about it ALL.

but what I dont get is where was Fox about how bad govt was under Bush? Where were all these fools worried about govt takeover during the patriot act, NSA program, bailouts, etc.

ok but I didnt see these ppl march to washington when Bush did all this shit, thats what im saying. I can undrstand being against govt expansion but where the fuck where these ppl when bush was in office.

working four jobs to make ends meet. now that they're freshly laid off they have plenty of time.

I can't speak for everyone else but I was railing against Bush since he took office. I was warned about him during his first campaign from sources well aware of his families activities. I should have went to the same source on Obama because as it turns out that source was warning about him as well.

but 95% of these ppl werent. Thats my point. Most of these fools dont know what socialism is, Nazism or anything else. I think most of the ppl hate the fact they have some black guy telling them what the fuck to do

There's a racist in every crowd. Doesn't make everyone around them a racist.

ha! I bet none of them are complaining about getting that govt money

i didnt say everyone, I said most

I have a feeling that we aren't getting the full story here.

Sorry to burst your bubble but they don't send a swat team to your house just because you don't show up for school. And as for your sister, they tend to not just take kids out of a house for no real reason. I think there are some minor details missing from your story.

Are you Elian Gonzales or something?

"Without getting too personal here" :thumbsup To make it easier to understand it was a custody battle where the government got involved and assumed Parens patriae role (government as parent) It's happens a lot more often than you might think.

you sound like you get your family history from the alex jones show.

You're welcome to believe what you like. I lived it so I don't need any verification. Do I need to give you a family members number so you can confirm it?

nah i don't really care that much. just sounded like something alex jones is always going off about.

Well you now have personal confirmation of him being at least correct in that. And that was over 22 years ago. You can only imagine whats going on now. I have many other personal stories I could add which could and would confirm some other things he says. Those would be even harder to believe.

"you guys said this was a rally not a protest!!!!"

No, it isn't ....

Show me a sign that questions the Patriot Act or the NSA program.

Link to a clip ( on the organiser site : Fox news ) saying it is about that.

It is about a bunch of uneducted sour people, racist also, that want " their country back " ...
that are pissed that a n=i=g=g=a is in the white house .

Oh I know about that ... I saw it on JERRY SPRINGER ...

Fox News didn't stat it all. They are co-opting and taking credit. There are people among the Washington crowd as well as the hundreds of others across America today and previous days having many different issues with the government. Obama supporters and the government want it to be about Obama and his race because they don't want to address those issues. That being ALL of Washington is out of control.

I come from a upper middle class family but good try at an insult. :thumbsup Let's just say the that literally the Hamilton's met the Jones' had kids and eventually I came along. We didn't/don't have to try and keep up with the Jones'.

Nice pictures...so they want the ol' Confederate back? ...Seems from those pictures thats what they are made at...nothing else :Oh crap

If there is an ugly custody battle where the courts ultimately decide that neither parent is fit I can see them taking the kid away. I would assume it is a pretty extreme case, but I could see that happen.

But a swat team didn't storm your house because you didn't show up for school. Unless the reason you didn't show up for school was because you were busy calling in bomb threats or something crazy.

CNN has a great story here http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/...ess/index.html

It is about the main people behind the movement, their organizers and their goals.

Like I said before I think this whole thing started out as a real grass roots thing, but the republicans got a hold of it and turned it into a tool that they are using to try to reconnect with their base.

Here is a great quote from the article. This is from Sal Russo, a former Reagan staffer who is now working full time organizing tea parties. His started goals for the movement are: "They have three goals: Defeat President Obama's health care reform efforts, win back the House and Senate in 2010 and take the White House in 2012. "

Nothing about spending less or balancing the budget or being less corrupt. Nothing about halting the wrongs of the government. Just stop health care reform and win elections. Sounds familiar.

It wasn't because of parents being determined unfit. My mom is/was a computer programer. Dad was an executive for a large insurunce company. Both made very good moeny and intelligent. I was old enough to make a decision on my future. My sister on the otherhand was not. The ultimate reason IS because I didn't show up for the start of the school year and no it had nothing to do with anyone doing anything illegal. Yes there was more to it all (other parties) but again I'm not getting into that. It was that simple without the other details. It did happen the way I explained. Kicking in the doors guns drawn and all. Swat teamed, custody battle, government involvement.
