Major rally against ‘Obama’s tyranny’ rocks liberal Massachusetts
worldtribune.com ^ | 7/27/14 | Grace Vuoto

Posted on 07/28/2014 7:39:09 AM PDT by cotton1706

On a sweltering Saturday in July, approximately ten thousand protesters gathered on the steps of the Massachusetts state legislature and beyond in order to send a message to Gov. Deval Patrick and President Barack Obama: No more illegal immigrants.

“The rally was an obvious sign that even here in ultra-liberal Massachusetts, there is a major political rebellion brewing against the corrupt, arrogant and dangerously disconnected political elites of our country,” said rally organizer Jeff Kuhner in an interview with Worldtribune.com. Mr. Kuhner is the host of WRKO’s morning radio talk show, The Kuhner Report. He is known as “Boston’s Bulldozer” for his brazen defiance of the state’s liberal policies and its politically correct culture.

“Massachusetts has become ground zero in Middle America’s effort to stop the massive invasion of illegal immigration that threatens to bankrupt and destroy America,” he said. “The original revolt against British tyranny began here in Boston. I honestly believe that the revolt against Obama’s tyranny is beginning here.”

[Disclaimer: Let the record show that I, Dr. Grace Vuoto, am also proud to be Mrs. Kuhner!]

The rally was barely over before a controversy erupted in the blogosphere: How many activists were in attendance? A report by CBS’s Bree Sison states that “about a thousand” were present. Instead, The Blaze featured pictures of the event disproving that estimate and a headline highlighting the impressive size of the rally: “Boston ‘Teeming with Protesters’ in Giant Rally Against Housing Illegal Immigrants in the State.”

“The discrepancy in the numbers regarding how many showed up in the rally is a stark example of how the liberal media is trying to marginalize and suppress the extent of the opposition to Gov. Patrick’s plan.

That’s a very white crowd.

Yes, I was very disappointed to see that.

That’s a very white crowd. And I expect if all the ill.. er undocumented were being settled in Texas, New Mexico, and AZ they wouldn’t be protesting.

All politics is local. The people are protesting in Texas, AZ, New Mexico, and all across the country wherever these "children" are headed. Local communities are rising up, which is the most effective way to show dissent.

*There are conservatives in Massachusetts, and on Saturday, thousands of us gathered to protest the governor’s schemes.*

Liberals only outnumber conservatives in MA by about three percent. It’s the political machine in MA that’s liberal. The people are about evenly divided.

...... tens of thousand of protesters gathered---surrounding the Massachusetts state legislature,
sending a clear message to Gov. Deval Patrick and Pres Obama: "No more illegal immigrants"....

================================================

You can bet Obama'll get lotsa help from lock-stepping loyalist Democrat Gov Deval Patrick. Deval was the one who obstructed the public's right to know---Deval ordered Massachusetts govt agencies NOT to disseminate the welfare haul of the Boston bombers and the tax-sucking Tsarnaev family.

INMMIGRANTS CASH IN---FORCE TAXPAYERS TO FINANCE THEIR DIRTY DEEDS---Sources who saw 500 pages of welfare documents requested by a state legislator told News Center 5 that the entire Tsarnaev family, including (1) the two bombing suspects' parents, (2) the two suspects themselves, (3) their sisters, (4) the widow of the suspect killed, and, (5) their child -- received "every conceivable public benefit available out there." (Excerpt) Read more at wcvb.com ...

======================================================

The hot NY political buzz is prez wannabe NY gov Andy Cuomo is considering
Gov Deval as his running mate. Deval is busily upping his name recognition,
hoping to score political points with Gov Andy.

Here, vice-president hopeful Deval applauds at the installation
of the state's new police chief--- wearing her spiffy Commandant
Herman Goerring uniform (not photoshopped).

This is Gov Deval's personal bodyguard.

MA is a fairly white state. 83% white only with just 8% black and 6% Asian.

WHY? White is the new oppressed.

They should be protesting.

Why? Almost all of the people that actually care about this country are white. I go to TEA party rallies and other types and they are mostly, if not all, white. Blacks are afraid to go if they do care and the rest are content with what's going on.

The GOP are Obama Enablers ...... they are as guilty as Obama in my opinion by allowing his lawlessness to go unchecked. They have tools under the Constitution and refuse to use them, therefore they will lose them and are setting a horrific precedent for the future .... assuming there is a future since the country itself will be in ruins by the time Obama leaves office.

I just think it would look better if there were people of all colors protesting. The government looks at those pictures and disregards the entire concept of the protest thinking - “that’s just the racist white people”. Government doesn’t care about the racist white people, just keep working, keep paying taxes and keep your mouth shut. They would listen better if there were people of a variety of colors.

Right... but they’re the only ones paying taxes so they’re the only ones with a stake in it...for now

That will change

She appears to meet the affirmative action women's body fat requirements of not more than 50%.

Cops in Massachusetts are largely for show. I was recently at a sheriff's official annual dinner. There was an honor guard of deputies in dress uniforms. A close look revealed that they were all wearing holstered shapes -- the teaching aid rubber "guns" that cannot fire anything. Sad that MA sheriffs don't trust their own deputies to wear real firearms.

You asked a lot of questions but you left out the most important question.

Will Speaker Boehner allow the Senate Immigration Bill onto the floor of the House for a vote?

Could working class voters who still vote for democrats finally be pulling their heads out of their asses? I certainly hope they are. It’s been long overdue. Maybe more black Americans will finally wake up to see how they are being used by the democrat party. The illegal invasion being orchestrated by the democrats will harm black Americans the most.
