Get Ready for the Backlash (Vanity)

Posted on 09/12/2009 4:24:08 PM PDT by Tzimisce

Two million people marching on Washington in protest?

Get ready - after the Healthcare fight, they're going to crack down on free speech, free press and people assembling.

And they're going to wrap their arguments in innocuous, even reasonable language such as "bringing diversity to the argument", "instilling civility to the debate", "making sure that only the truth gets discussed", etc.

They'll do this to try to win the useful "moderate" tools that will go along with it.

But I'm warning you: the crackdown on making your opinion known is coming.

2 MILLION? I think it woulda been wonderful to have that many folks come out to DC today, but IMO, that soulds a lil far-fetched.

Remember the second amendment, all those recent firearms sales, the run on ammo.

If they do, lock and load, it will be time to kick their a@@ out and tar and feather the entire bunch of rotten corrupt nitwits.

I counted today and it came to 2,000,000 on the button.

Whether it was 1.5 or 2.0 there was something very special and moving happening to people who never ever went near a march before. Being one of the people in the crowd today makes me feel empowered knowing there are so many people feel the same way about the important issues of our time.

I know I never went to anything like that prior to going to the local tea parties and protest at my congresscoward’s office. I even met Jimrob when the Tea Party Express came to town.

This photo says it all for me. It’s what they are afraid of.
