Whakos and Nut Jobs

Valiant's first fling with social justice.

“First thing we gotta do is belittle, deride and heckle them.”  If that is what the mainstream media’s reaction is to someone or some group, my curiosity is piqued and I figure that person or group must have gotten something right.

I am not a tea party-er, but there we were in Washington D.C. on 4.12.10 right when the big happening was happening so we  jumped in the truck and found a fantastic parking spot a few feet from the event and were there for Tucker Carlson and Rev. C. L. Bryant’s speeches.

Listening to Rev. Bryant was very rousing.  I had heard that the Tea Party group was a bunch of wackos and here was this guy giving a very emotionally packed speech and the reaction was supportive and vigorous but way, way short of riotous and wacko.  Way short.  The crowd thought he was marvelous and they cheered with enthusiasm but one week old Valiant was safe in this crowd.

I hear that Tucker Carlson is the hotty of the conservative movement.  He was at the Tea Party too.

At the very end of the event, people were walking through the crowd saying, “Clean up your mess, don’t leave any trash,” and other incendiary things like that.

I left wondering why there is such vitriol against this group, they are polite and neat as a pin, all they want is for big government to leave them alone.

I don’t think that’s asking too much and the Tea Party does so politely.

Compare the Mall after the two million man Tea Party and the Mall after 1.5 million people attended Obama’s inauguration.  Can you tell which is which?

Two million at the Tea Party??  What!?  Just google: “Washington d c tea party numbers” and take a look at the crowds!
