The Otero Tea Party Patriots and the newly formed Alamogordo Second Amendment Task Force held an anti-Obama protest rally on Saturday in Alamogordo New Mexico.
The rally appeared to be more of a second amendment rights rally than an anti Obama rally. Several hundred people, many carrying rifles and handguns, attended the 2-hour event. There were no reported incidents of violence.
Leslie Feilner, who recently moved to Alamogordo from Alaska with her husband, said about the .454 Taurus Casull that she was carrying, "It's a bear gun. We've never had to use it."
Feilner's English Pointer had a 9mm strapped to his side and a sign that read, "Bring it on, Obama." Feilner told reporters, "I'm a Christian and a peace-loving person, but I enjoy the right to buy and carry them."
Ron Browne of Alamogordo, who attended the event, said, "You have the guns. Eventually, you'll have the hate, then someone will actually take it one step further and try to hurt the president." Browne commented further, "Hate has to start somewhere and grow. This is it, right here. You're looking at it."
Jim Kizer, of Alamogordo, carried his .444 Marlin rifle and .41 Smith and Wesson Magnum pistol to the event.
"I don't like what the Democrats are doing to our country," said Kizer. "I'm a Korean vet and I grew up in Alaska during World War II. I've fought Communists all my life, and now our government is being taken over by them. That's why I'm here." Kizer commented further, "I'm not trying to start a war . . . I just want to make a point."

Some in this world ‘have’ grown fond of it. Mainly the ones who are insulted from it.
These are our worst enemies.
But one we should never discard or fear to use.
Thanks for the ping. I really enjoyed this—Americans at their finest!
Mr. Brown, I know that Alamogordo is a long way from St. Louis. Please do some homework and investigate how SIEU thugs have beaten peaceful tea party protesters, then tell me who hates and who is endanger.
Where was the rally, or tea party a couple months ago where one of our geezers was roughed up by leftist counter protesters?
Didn’t happen here.
An armed society is a polite society.

Is it just convenient that I cannot recall an incident where a liberal rally/protest featured violent attacks from counter protesters? Most rallies/protests I have attended (thought that would be a small sampling) have had liberal participants dare jump in the middle of the conservatives and try to escalate the situation.

"I see this as the seeds of terrorism being born," he said. "You have the guns. Eventually, you'll have the hate, then someone will actually take it one step further and try to hurt the president. Hate has to start somewhere and grow. This is it, right here. You're looking at it.
"If this keeps expanding, we're going to have a civil war."

Rebecca Browne, a concerned citizen who has been extremely vocal this past week in trying to block the protest, said the city could have "done something" to stop it.
"I think they could have stopped it and chose not to," she said. "I've done everything I could to stop it. I called everyone I know, but it's still going to happen. I don't have a whole lot of respect for the people who run this town."
Browne, who calls herself a liberal, said her husband Ron plans to protest the protesters.
That says it all right there. DC .... wake up because they are not alone.
