Or maybe we should go not for tea, but Kenyan coffee.
Or maybe we should avoid both, since they have connotations of ...plantations!
...or we could do pineapples, given that The One grew up in Hawaii.

LOL. Thanks!
In some states, like Missouri, you have to leave the sidewalks clear. Tree lawns, OTOH are fair game.
If I ever do the protest thing, my sign is going to say "Desdemona's wish list: hot tub, Bombay and olives."
I never suggested that nothing should be done. I have fought this socialist crap all my life. One of the ways I have done that is to support this website with money, not just words. To call me some sort of slacker on this matter is an insult.
That is a good sign. Let's see what happens next. My guess is they will continue to screw us over even more.
11. Don't be surprised if you find yourself confronted with violence from the other side. In days past this has been known to happen occasionally in the course of such protests. Be ready to stand your ground.
About these two items:
1. Pick a location, date and time in your town. I’d suggest main street at an intersection with lots of traffic.
5. Write a press release and email, mail and fax copies to the local tv stations, radio stations and newspapers. Call the reporters that cover local events or politics and leave messages on their voice mail.
IF protests are held at Nework Affliates (aBC,CBS,FOX,NBC,CNN....they’re in EVERY CITY!) you won’t have to beg the media to be there!
The Media is Obama’s first line of defense....take the protest to the media...the real problem!
Thank you very much for posting this!
I am trying to get the Minnesota group together in the next few weeks and will print this out to bring along to the meeting.
Thanks again!
I’d be really cautious about giving out food to the public at large.... that’s my legal background always rearing its ugly head.

The public at large has little exposure to grassroots conservatism. Many think that it's just a small band of power-hungry white guys pretending to be upstanding and stealing from the common man left and right.
Large groups of conservatives would definitely give many people a big shock that many everyday people are conservative and have deep beliefs. Just as important, the public sometimes has a tenuous grasp on the importance of a subject until they see people sacrificing for it in the flesh.
Humans are social animals and the more they can place a face to a movement the more importance they will give it. Those numerous faces make a movement more personal and more likely to light a fire to oppose the moral audacity of what's occuring.
Conservatism needs more faces willing to show they will make small sacrifices to give it more credence and to show that conservatives believe what they are saying.

Lemmings are social animals. I am an individual who thinks for himself. Pardon me if don't jump off a cliff anytime soon. I fight in my own way.
You disagree with who, about what?
Could you be a little more specific? At least as it refers to me.
TheThinker, you disagree with who about what?
Yes, that would work well too. A whistle is just easier to carry around.
What is “bfl?”
Bump for later :)
First, humans and lemmings don't share the same social behaviors and lemmings also lack the ability to reason.
Secondly, if publicly protesting a politician or political party is tantamount to jumping off a cliff, then maybe America is lost.
