Thanks for posting this topic, NoGray.
Seems it needed coverage. Opened my eyes. I’m a sucker for anything Tea Party—went to the first one on the steps of the capitol in Atlanta, Feb, 2009, in the rain.
I salute you.
Didn’t expect that, so thanks!
I just wanted to alert anyone who receives a call from “the Tea Party anything” to question them.
Matthew 7:17-21 -
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
My 1st Tea Party was on 4/15/09 in NYC. I must say, I felt like a hippie!
It was huge! I did have an officer try to stop me because I had a sign. He grabbed it because “signs weren’t allowed”. I did not let go.
An “argument” of sorts broke out and a crowd started gathering.....ALL stating this officer was preventing me from my right to protest. His partner said to “let her go”. The officer trying to grab my sign away gave the excuse of some big cheese was down at the gathering and he didn’t want to get in trouble.
Personally, he looked muzzie to me. His partner was NOT down with what he was doing.
I must say, it was a little frightening to face off with an officer of the law, in whom I’ve always respected and have shown respect to.
The actions of his partner somewhat gave me comfort, as well as the crowd gathering around coming to my defense, lol.
Guess what......I WON!!! Pun intended =)!
