Is it just me or have you noticed the uptick in conservative demonstrations? It may be a consequence of the recession. It’s my thought that hard working job holders have been laid off and are available for protests that were the domain of dem-lib types.
That’s inaccurate. The folks protesting in South Bend are not a bunch of jobless people with too much time on their hands. They are people who believe deeply in something, and are therefore willing to sacrifice something less important to be there.
My tea party experience is that people are getting so fed up with the current administration, they will use valuable vacation/personal time to leave work to join in the protests
Conservatives by nature work hard, raise families, then their grandchildren, volunteer, go to church and try to save for a rainy day.
Maybe there is more awareness
now because their pensions, savings,and their kids jobs and theirs are at risk.
