Apr. 18, 1-3pm

Washington Crossing Park, the exact spot where Gen. George Washington and his ragtag army crossed the Delaware River to beat the Hessians, and thus inspired a nation to independance.

Palm Desert, California - April 15.....Mrs. Bat and I are already weighing the "poster board" options.

...pretty sure at least one of 'em will say "Arrogance? how dare Obama enslave my grandkids".

Another front-runner: "Barack in '08, Broke in '09"

Wouldn’t it be great if someone could grab the reins and organize all these people into a new Party to replace the dying GOP?

I would be satisfied if we could seize control of the existing GOP, turn it inside out, and utilize the infrastructure already in place.

Sounds less chaotic that what I am thinking is going to be necessary,

a big ol’ RESET, including clearing out all federal laws, politicians, and employees, and starting over with the base Constitution and Bill of Rights.

All these Tea Parties... and “Revolts”....

But how many are actually going to stop paying their taxes?

At the Boston Tea Party, not only did they refuse to pay the tax, but they destroyed the property of the oppressive government by dumping the tea.

Is that what these parties are about? encouraging Americans not to pay their income tax? I would be all for it if I knew that I wasn’t going to be alone.

Or is this just symbolism over substance?
So far, I don’t see much press coverage of even that.
I’m afraid that regardless of how many people participate in these “revolts”, nobody in a position of power is really going to care, because it simply has no teeth.

Maybe if we really DID revolt, by actually de-funding this unconstitutional government, something could come of it.
I already know how the press would report it.... So maybe it is time to start defunding them too.

You really think the mainstream media cares what we think of them as long as we pay the bill through our cable company?

They just yawn.

“The Tea Party” seems a natural choice, easy to remember, easy to understand and with historical significance. Everybody would know what we’re about.
