Operation American Spring falls flat: ‘This is very disappointing,’ Texan says
The Washington Times ^ | 5/16/14 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Operation American Spring, billed as a Friday morning multi-million patriot march on Washington, D.C., to oust leadership from the nation’s capital — from President Obama to House Speaker John Boeher — has proven woefully below expectations.


“It’s a very dismal turnout,” said Jackie Milton, 61, a Jacksboro, Texas, resident and the head of Texans for Operation American Spring, to The Washington Times. He said hopes were high when he arrived in Alexandria, Va., a day or so ago and found motels and hotels were sold out for 30 miles around.

I first read about in the TMZ-style Russia Today and never thought it was actually real.

Well the Million Muslim March had 29 people...or maybe it was 37.
Did we beat that?

If we rise up to throw off the shackles, it will likely be spontaneous

Never thought about it like that. You are probably 100% correct.

Think about Nicolae Ceausescu. After 24 years of abuse, what finally transpired was rather sudden and spontaneous.

And your tag read “soviet states of Obama”. You don't really believe that if you think a coup is out of order.

Hotels in the D.C. area are always sold out in the Spring. That's when all of the school trips to the Capitol occur, something that has happened every single year for the past many, many years. They did not have the sharpest knives in the drawer organizing this operation.

What’s needed is a gigantic Tea Party gathering on the National Mall and in every major city on July 4th.

So you think our government is legit? You don’t think our government has already been overthrown?

Remember those awesome Tea Party rallies a few years ago that accomplished absolutely nothing? Because they were demonstrations and not demands.

The Tea Party movement got co-opted by consultants and sidetracked by Glenn Beck’s messiah complex.

I’m for it if there are demands being made. If we’re just going to stand out there, then go home, I’m not interested.

I saw what they did to the Tea Party president in my county. They ransacked his home while he was in the hospital recovering from a cancer operation and arrested his wife and threw her in jail as an illegal.

Of course, they found nothing and his wife was legal but they had to endure this at the worse time.

I keep quiet except one on one conversations, I don’t take it public and I don’t belong to their assn.

So when they say the Tea Party has died it is because we are underground.

This is why the TEA Party doesn’t have a single group and a single leader.

“They did not have the sharpest knives in the drawer organizing this operation”.

Ain’t that the truth. If someone says ___Million will be marching...right there you know they are not dealing w/ a full deck. People are just not going to stop what they’re doing (like work) to come to some barely advertised/promoted event that talks about the overthrow of the U.S. Gov’t.

NOT GOING to HAPPEN.

Perhaps most people with some smarts realize that the problem is not entirely, or even primarily, in Washington, DC.

Most conservatives do realize that the problem is much closer to home, with their idiot neighbors sporting the odinga bumper stickers, or the COEXIST ones, etc.; the spiritually dead dykes, fags, perpetual grievance clowns, dis-en-french-fried minorities, outraged illegal invaders, and other such communists.
