'Million Tea Bag' Protest In DC Is Blocked

"The Tea Parties here in Washington DC are off to a roaring start, right? Ha, ha: No. Right now, the Tea Parties are contending with a number of terrible struggles, which this report from Fox News documents.

In the first place, the big event of the day was to be the dumping of one million teabags. The Washington Post notes that this was originally supposed to happen at the Potomac River but was shifted to Lafayette Park because of issues of legality. And seriously, why anyone thought it would be legal to further pollute to Potomac is beyond me.

But! As it turns out, the alternate plan - 1. Take a million teabags to Lafayette Park, 2. Dump them on a tarp, 3. Yell at them, 4. Clean up the teabags - also isn't happening, because of permit issues.

According to reports, the truck filled with teabags pulled up to Lafayette Park, but didn't have a permit, and so they were loaded back on to the truck and driven off to an undisclosed location.

Also, the plan to have a second rally in front of the Treasury Department was scotched after the Secret Service said, "Uhm, no."

So, this epochal day is off to an amazing start. And somewhere out there, a truck full of teabags rolls on, destination unknown, into an uncertain future.

The people running the tea parties are new to the game. They havent the Soros funds for permits and toilets and police overtime, and all the other various things that have to be arranged. They need to get in touch with some of the professional agitators like farrakhan to find the intricacies of the protest movement.

They will learn.

It's not over till it's over. It isnt going away, despite the MSM and the Obama administration.

And now there's this:

Md. Guard Issues Warning to Staff about Local TEA Party Protestors - Southern Maryland Headline News

I told David you notice Big Daddy isn't so concerned when the Leftists are protesting and busting stuff up. And the Solomons Tea Party was completely peaceful.

This is bull####.

Calling Americans who peacefully protest the 3.6 trillion dollar deficit budget ,extremists, picturing Americans who love this country as radicals, calling anyone who opposes the Messiah a racist or a traitor.

Even saying that military veterans are a threat.

This isnt the America I remember.

But it is ok for ALF / ELF to burn down new sub divisions and trash medical research facilities and Tree Huggers to drive spikes into trees that will shatter high speed saw blades @ mills sending debris flying as bad as any grenade

Pardon me if I don't hold my breath.

Martin O'Malley will be re-elected, as will the majority of the legislature. BebeMac will hold her seat as long as she wants to and so will what's his face - the old white guy that blacks liked better than Mike Steele. Obama will win another term in and so will the Left CongressCritters.

You heard it here first.

And yes, I'm cynical and fresh out of HOPE for CHANGE.

what scares the Dems, is they remember how reagon was elected, with a simple, low level tax revolt in Calif.

Thats what has them wetting their beds at night

I'm waiting for the stand up of Obama's Civilian National Security Force to put a stop to this treason.

This is one of the largest anti-government movements this country has seen since the VN war. Perhaps a revolution. I've been waiting for Steele the the RNC to wake their azzes up and get things in gear. Looks like we don't even need him and the other lame pinheads in the RNC.
