We were a little late getting to the airport and then drove around a bit looking for the TEA party group. Couldn't find them. Saw a group of peaceniks protesting Obama and was tempted to join them, but drove on. Saw four or five groups of civilians standing around waiting to pay homage to their king, but no obvious protesters other than Peace Fresno. Finally spotted a group of adoring Obama fans with an empty spot nearby, not a parking space, but a space just large enough for our van. So asked Chris to pull over and leave the ramp down as if we were loading/unloading.
I asked Chris to write "Obama Lied!" on a signboard and bring it out to me after I joined the group. I rolled over to them and then Chris brought me my sign and I sat innocently with my back to the group for a little while.
No one noticed me at first. I spotted a guy right behind me who had "USMC" on the back of his hat, so I greeted him with, "Semper Fi!" He turned and shook my hand, then saw my sign and instantly turned back to the crowd.
I then shouted out, "Obama lied and people died!!"
Now, that started a commotion. Soon had quite a dialog going. Told them Obama lied about everything. Said he lied about Benghazi. Lied about the IRS. Lied about health care. Lied about if you like your policy you can keep it. Lied about if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. Lied about ending the wars and bringing all the troops home. Asked them how they liked being lied to. They said everyone lies.
Told them they were suckers, Obama is a communist. They said, so? What's wrong with that? I noticed they had several children there and asked them how they're going to like paying all the debt Obama's running up. They were horrified. I don't think they've ever been exposed to anyone questioning authority. Poor children have never been exposed to the constitution, the founding principles, Truth, patriotism, etc. They've been force fed the Marxist lie since birth.
At one point, one big guy told me he'd like to shove my words down my throat. Now ain't that special. I pointed out that that is the Marxist way. Someone says something they don't agree with and they immediately jump to violence.
I told them they were suckers for free foodstamps, free Obama phones, free healthcare. One big black guy said something to the effect that Obama was doing all this for our own good and at least now I can get free health care. Told him I work full-time, pay my own way and don't need or want his "free" health care. Then told him, but at least you can now marry your boyfriend. He told me that was none of my business.
Now we finally have a point we can agree on. None of this is any of the federal government's business.
But I think the significance of that final point was lost in the shuffle.

Thank you very much, Gene Eric!! ‘Twas good freeping the Obama worshipers. Poor dears have no idea how much Oama has damaged their futures.
I’m not at my desk right now. Will post updates to the scoreboard when I get back. Posted via tablet.
I don’t particularly care for how that one guy seems to have his hand on Jim’s chair though.
I don’t get the impression he’s on our side and he’s too close.
Grrrr.
Right. Well, WE weren’t there.
Take your sweet time. 70 degrees on my back porch!
I’ll go sweep and take care of the trash!!!
>> Poor dears have no idea how much Oama has damaged their futures.
Yup, their futures and the generations of children ahead.
OK, for that one I’ll pay another buck.
Can’t wait for an excuse to make that design!
PARTY TIME
Oh yeah! That would be perfect for your FL setting!
How are you doing today!
I am so happy. SUNNY and now OVER 70 degrees!
One day ago, it was 32 degrees overnight!
We had one very cold night but now into the sunny upper 70’s each day!
I am fine and happy, especially to see the FLORIDA DONATIONS. I read the state page. Minute Gal put out the call for extra donations today.( beyond the monthly donations especially)
She did great! That was so kind and thoughtful of her. She generated extra donations, plus a New Monthly Donor!!!
