Now you’re having fun and Tea Partying.
From Tyler, Texas:
We’re planning a Tea Party in Tyler, Texas 12-1:30 pm, exact location TBA. Afterwards, we’re having a Texas Tea Party Tailgater, and caravanning to the Dallas tea party that night.
Texans have their own Texas Tea Parties website, where the slogan is, “When dead pigs Fly, Pork might Stimulate!”
To Deeziner…first, we don’t own an SUV….second, the “party” in the Tea Party is a reference to the original Boston Tea Party, where patriots whose efforts of diplomacy had fallen on unsympathetic ears, and who were driven to action. Words mean plenty …and the “signs” posted all over Boston on November 29, 1773, achieved meaningful, profound results–unless you don’t consider the beginnings of a free nation something “useful”. The “rally” at Fareuil Hall that day was an effort to stand together in “united and successful resistance to this last, worst, and most destructive measure of administration.” This led to an act of protest delivered with “great order, decency,” and then on to the birth of our nation. That “rally” called “every friend to his country, to himself, and to POSTERITY” to meet that day…. I would say that “rally”–with or without their toddlers actually present, certainly had their children in mind as they stood up against tyranny and stared it in the face. Sure, words mean - and do - nothing if you’re a lying, self-serving politician who says anything to get himself elected, or if you’re a pusillanimous coward, hiding in your little hole; but fortunately for those weak-minded, whining do-nothings, there were–and still are enough of us with the “cojones” to stand up and fight for freedom–even for those who should spend more time educating themselves, than trying to sound clever.
Third, what we REALLY ARE GOING to do (and have done), is contact our representatives, senators, and those in position to help our voice be heard; we actually educate and inform ourselves and act on and vote accordingly; and we support the concurrent resolutions that are currently in committee that demand recognition of our state’s sovereignty and the federal government’s adherence to the US Constitution regarding the limitations of its power.
So, if you really think words don’t mean anything, maybe you should keep your mouth shut until you educate yourself enough to know different!
BTW I love your blog!
Huge turnout in Cincy.

So, it’s just about driving around in your SUVs and partying?
What is this about other than “rallying”? What are you REALLY going to do?
WORDS DON’T MEAN ANYTHING. If all you’re going to do is wave signs around and get your toddlers in the photo op, that’s NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING USEFUL!
