'Tea parties' protest Obama's stimulus package

 

Are you as ticked off as this guy?

If the mood on conservative talk radio is any indication, you are.

But are you angry enough at Obama's socialist, confiscatory tax plan and money-wasting budget to protest?

Conservatives aren't normally the marching types. But one of America's founding moments was the Boston Tea Party.

In that spirit, budding activists around the country are planning "Tea Party" protests this week. The details are sketchy, but one is definitely being planned for CPAC (a.k.a. "Right Wing Woodstock") this week.

And with the likes of Glenn Reynolds, Michelle Malkin, Joe the Plumber and other PajamasMedia bigwigs signing on, these protests sound very promising!

If you're planning a Tea Party protest, share the details in the comments below.

For more info: visit the Official American Tea Party website. Learn more about CPAC from longtime attendee and new Republican Examiner, Wendy Sullivan.

    Once again the parasites are being awarded for being deadbeats. For the last 50 years its been the same old scenario in America, those who contribute the least are the ones who demand, and receive the most. Hell, look no further than Obama himself, our nations first affirmitive action president, who probably has never earned anything on his own merits, or through hard work. When will the hard working people who made, and make this country, finally have enough of this nonsense. There are USERS and GIVERS in this world, and its high time the givers kick all these users in their fat asses, and tell them NO MORE FREEBIES!

    WE DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING , BUT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW PRESIDENT OBAMA AROUND, GOING BACK TO HIS CHICAGO DAYS. HE WORKED FOR THE NEEDY AND THE POOR DISTRICT OF CHICAGO. HE WASN'T BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON, HE WORKED FOR IT. SOUNDS LIKE TO ME, YOU NEED TO STUDY UP ON YOUR HISTORY.YOU WROTE THIS A YEAR AGO AND I JUST RAN ON TO YOUR NASTY COMMENT. READ MY BOOK WHAT'S ON MY MIND AND IN MY HEART BY DONNA R. BANNISTER. YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT BEING POOR AND WORKING HARD TO BE SOMEBODY. SUCCESS SOMETIMES COMES UNDER THE HEADING OF HARD WORK. OBAMA, HARDWORK AND--
    SUCCESS!! ME!! POOR, WHITE, WORKED HARD-- SUCCESS!! YOU HAVE A LOT OF HATE IN YOUR HEART.

    Wealth redistribution is marxist clap trap which really means financially responsible conservatives must pay for the life style choices of the "Anything goes if it feels good crowd".

    People who bought a house for 80,000 remortgaging it for 300,000 and where did that money go. They spent it of course and now they are being rewarded with more money to shakedown decent hard working people who pay their bills and live within their means.

    Chant the following at the Tea Parties: Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy.

    I guess I must revise my old motto.
    It USED to be, "nothing is worth having unless I earned it."

    Now, that is no longer valid.

    We must take back the United States from the liberal socialist filth which currently infests the White House. I suggest going home, and turning on all electrical appliances at 6 pm every day When the lights go off,they'll get it.

    April 15th Tea Party
    Are you outraged about the way things have been going? How about the way your tax money is being used? Do you like the fact that your money is being used by the HIGH ROLLERS while your 401K and other savings went faster than drugs in a drug addict’s hands. Let us not forget all the BILLION$ for foreign aid spent while we, the people suffer! Obama’s Foreign Aid Price Tag to Exceed $50 Billion
    newsmax.com/newsfront/obama_foreign_aid/2009/03/02/187543.html

    Enough is enough! It’s time we, the people let our government know how we feel.

    Dear Tea Parties,

    What pushed back President Barack Obama’s Healthcare bill?

    The Universal Healthcare bill was a “slam dunk” for President Barack Obama on July 20, 2009 to pass in the United House of Congress and the United State Senate before July 31st.

    July 21, 2009, God stepped in through: the Blue Dog Democrats, the Tea Parties, and the book that will expose Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s paper trail scandal to push back the Barack Obama’s Universal Health Care bill, effective 2013.

    On behalf of God and the American people, thank you.
