Tea Party Tidbits

 

    I STILL can’t recall when watching Idiots at Work has been so ENTERTAINING! All Fairy Reid, Nazi Piglosi and the Dithering Doofus need is theme music and the 3 Stooges are REBORN! The scalps taken by we Racist Mobsters are piling up FAST, but the ACORN Debacle has the POTENTIAL to bring the Obama Express to a SCREECHING halt PDQ! Either way, we MUST keep the pressure on and we MUST develop LEADERS and get them ELECTED! If we are NOT represented in Washington, then we will NEVER see our Values/Principles enacted into PUBLIC POLICY.

    I bought and read "Liberty and Tyranny" by Mark Levin. All I can say is WOW! Mark breaks down Liberalism vs. Conservatism on EVERY level in DETAIL! Books like this are usually VERY dry, but somehow/someway, Mark writes in a manner that makes the material VERY compelling. I recommend that you read it 4 5 times in the space of a year. Because the material is VERY detailed and VERY compelling, it opens your eyes to ideas, concepts and truths that were HIDDEN in PLAIN SIGHT! You will NEVER digest EVERYTHING in just one reading. , hence my recommendation for multiple readings over a period of time. For the record, I am about to start my second reading.

    09/12 was REALLY SOMETHING! My Congrats to all who showed up! The crowd was so IMMENSE that meeting up with other TH bloggers became impossible. So I drifted around the ENTIRE crowd and looked and listened to what was going on. I saw folks of ALL colors, ages, ethnicities and occupations. I talked with 2 farmers from Southern Maryland who drove in after getting their milking done. I saw VERY few cranks, loons, trolls or idiots. The Larouche folks ALMOST cornered me, but I contrived to get away from them. The crowd was young overall. MANY of them had children and dogs along for the day. The general mood of the crowd was like that of a High School Athletic Event. Families with pets, kids, chairs and coolers made up a LARGE part of it.

    I stepped onto the National Mall around 10:00 AM and there was a FAIRLY sizeable police presence. By 2:00 PM they were GONE for the most part. They could see that there was NO NEED for them and they went back to protecting the residents of Washington, DC. EVERYWHERE I went were clean cut, articulate, conservatives expounding on their REASONS for being there. The weather was JUST RIGHT and it made the mood more jovial as thirst and heat were NO PROBLEM! There are FAR too many incidents, conversations and impressions to relate without this post becoming a rambling diatribe. So I will relate a fistful of the ones that stick in my mind!

    While walking down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the Capitol, I saw a woman in her 20's slightly bent over and walking SLOW! I moved towards her to see if she was OK. It turned out she was pushing her 80 year old grandmother in a wheelchair ALL THE WAY from the Smithsonian Metro stop to the Capitol. The Grandma was 100 pounds soaking wet, so pushing her was NO PROBLEM (I offered to relieve her) for her grand daughter. But they BOTH had decided they NEEDED to be there. The Grandma commented, "This is WONDERFUL! I haven't had this much fun in YEARS!"

    At a street crossing, I found myself standing next to a gray haired fellow with a ponytail. He asked me how long I had been a Conservative (somehow he KNEW I was). I told him I had been a Conservative since I represented Reagan in a debate in Social Studies Class in High School. He looked down at his feet and said, "I'm 55 now and I was a HARDCORE Liberal until I was 40. I fought day and night with my Dad when I was a teenager. Then one day I woke up and realized that my Dad was 100% RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!" I shook his hand and welcomed him to the VRWC! I also met several folks wearing signs that said "Ex-Liberal", "Recovering Liberal" and things like that. They ALL said that Obama was their WAKEUP CALL! I gave all of them the same welcome that I gave the fellow with the ponytail.

    When I got to the Capitol, I veered left and went up Constitution Avenue. Constitution Avenue runs alongside the Capitol on a slight grade and I wanted to see just HOW BIG the crowd was.  About halfway up the hill I stopped and looked back, I COULD NOT see the end of the crowd! At about the same time, I heard someone crying. I turned around and a woman who went a LITTLE heavy on eye makeup was crying so hard that she looked like a raccoon. I asked her what was wrong and she said, "I was SO SURE I was alone in the way I felt about Obama and Universal Health Care. But seeing this, I feel so VINDICATED!" We talked a little and she ALSO said Obama was her WAKEUP CALL to get INVOLVED, but that she NEVER knew there were SO MANY Conservatives around her! I told her to REMEMBER that WE surround THEM!

    Shortly after that, I got thirsty and went to get a drink. While I was in line, this short, bookish looking, guy struck up a conversation with me. It turned out that he WAS an ACADEMIC LIBERAL turned FRESHLY MINTED CONSERVATIVE and Obama was his WAKEUP CALL also! He was a COMPLETE neophyte, was VERY interested in getting up to speed on Conservative Philosophy and had ZERO resources to do it available to him at the university. I suggested Mark Levin's "Tyranny and Liberty" to him and described it to him like I described it to all of you in the 2nd paragraph of this post. He was VERY excited about and said he would be stopping at Borders on the way home to buy it.

    I was walking up 3rd Street when I noticed the FNC truck. So I walked over to it to say "Thank You". The FNC Tech turned out to be a VERY young retired Marine (in his 40's) and was as nice a guy as could be. It was around 2:00 PM at the time and he was running the truck ALL BY HIMSELF! After I said "THANK YOU!”, I offered to run for drinks for him if he got thirsty. So there I was, just hanging around the FNC truck, relaxing and drinking Gatorade. All of a sudden, Griff Jenkins came back to the truck and a BIG crowd was following him. So folks were telling Griff and the Tech to be sure and thank Beck, Hannity, etc for exposing Obama, Van Jones, etc. About this time, a FEW folks decided to sign their names and well wishes to various FNC personalities on the posters and signs they had been carrying and leave them on the FNC truck. All of a sudden, EVERYONE decided to do this AND get a picture in front on the FNC truck. This was around 3:00-3:30 PM and for the next 2 hours SOLID, people that came by signed their names to posters and got a picture in front of the FNC logo. As I was there by myself, I took pictures for groups, couples and ANYONE else who wanted a picture. It was a spontaneous, heartfelt, outpouring of DEEP feelings such as I personally have NEVER experienced. The FNC Tech was AMAZED when he came out of the truck to start packing up. He ASSURED us that the posters WOULD get into the hands of the FNC Prime Timers.

    The NBC truck was parked behind the FNC truck. Somewhat IRONIC considering their positions in the ratings. About the time I strolled up to the FNC truck, the NBC Tech opened the doors of the NBC truck. He was a Leftover Hippie in his late 50's with collarbone length hair. He opened the door, looked around at all the "Angry Mobsters" and SLAMMED THE DOOR SHUT! AT NO TIME had ANYONE gone ANYWHERE near him OR any NBC property, but he was SURE we had bad intentions towards him. This was around 3:00-3:30 PM and he DID NOT emerge again until 5:30 PM and then he did so CAREFULLY. Shortly after the NBC Tech slammed the door shut, an “Angry Mobster” was walking his dog. I saw the dog starting to sniff around the tires of the FNC truck and I KNEW what was on his mind. I pointed out the truck with the NBC logo on it. The dog owner smiled, walked his dog to the NBC logo which was located by the rear tires on either side and had the dog's picture taken doing his business on the tires of the NBC truck!

    All in all, it was QUITE a spectacle. There was NO WAY we could be ignored and we MADE OURSELVES HEARD! So to all Tea Partiers, I say THANK YOU and MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! HOWEVER we NEED to be ready to do it AGAIN and as many times as need be until at the VERY least Election Day 2010. If we take back the House, then we can effectively BLUNT the Communist Agenda being foisted upon America. If not, then we HAVE to continue until at the VERY least Election Day 2012. I KNOW it is easy for me say this when I only live 1 hour from DC and my only cost is gasoline and Metro fare cards. Right now, you might be saying that you can't afford to do it even ONCE more, let alone MULTIPLE times. RIGHT NOW I am saying that if you LOVE the America that we were born and raised in, you can't afford NOT to do it AGAIN and as often as NEED BE!

God Bless You and Thank you for Your Time,
J. Allen Frye
