Up to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama's spending in 'tea-par

Wrong again. CLICK HERE

 

Solid American citizens have had enough.

Politicians ignore them at their peril.

 

Just shows there is one nut around!

 

And here I thought you liked for Americans to stand up for what they believe. I'd call him brave given the description of what the teabagger thugs did to him.

This brave man walked through the anti-health care crowd with his large poster and was immediately set upon by the crowd. One person spit on him, while others pushed and tried to grab his flag until the police intervened. Most of the crowd around him turned on him like rabid dogs, yelling epithets and things like commie, why dont you leave this country etc. Impressively, he remained unflappable and had this little smile on the whole time.
​

 

Did anyone bite off his finger?

 

Hands down he was much safer in his provocation of this crowd than if the converse were true.

 

Alatide, where were you on 9/12? :laugh::tongue3:

I don't care how many marched on DC on 9/12.... It won't mean a thing unless those same people with millions of others show up at the polling places in 2010, and 2012....

But if they do, and I suspect they will because we have had enough, a true revolution will take place... you will see America as it should be, not an America that is ruled by socialist Czars, Acorn organizers, and Chicago thugs.

 

What's the problem? ABC originally gave an incorrect estimate of "up to 2 million". Later revisions put that in the hundreds of thousands. What's the problem with acknowleging that the first estimate from ABC was incorrect?

 

Wow, that's really nice for a homemade sign, and really big too. :laugh:

 

From what I saw on local TV this figure is probably correct. The West Lawn of the Capital building was pretty well covered, but there was no one on the mall behind them. Surely two million was an extremely high figure. 60-70,000 is a pretty small demonstration for DC.

 

Have you ever heard the term, "Divide and conqure? That is being played out in America now and many people are none the wiser.

 

The argument over the numbers at the march is largely unimportant. It's as if we are saying that the the bigger the turn out, the more significant it is. The church-culture is much the same... the bigger the church, the more significant we think it is.

That line of thinking us bunk in the church and it is bunk when it comes to this protest. Significance isn't found in size. The people who could and would attend this march have homes, families, and maybe most importantly... EMPLOYMENT.

To attend this event and not be a local resident, means that they had to take time off to get there. Seeing thousands of umemployed folks bused in to attend a march on the DC mall by protest organizers is far less impressive to me than what we saw over the weekend.

 

Are you claiming that none of these protesters were bused in by the CON organizing groups? Thats pretty naive.

 

I'm sure that there may have been some... but not to the level that other groups do. It's pretty easy for "community organizing" groups to hit the streets offering cartons of cigarettes and other goodies to get folks on a bus... especially in DC. I tend to think that the folks who came in from out of town for this event wouldn't have been bused in... they would have FLOWN.

You see, I cannot be baited by your use of "absolute" terms like: all... none... never... always... etc. I actually took the SAT nd did very well. I will say that I do enjoy your expressions of wisdom and philosophy... so much so that they often bring me great laughter.

senor Regular how do you look at the video some of these people are loco and some of them are good but wrong

Xavier not snowe, not crabtownboy, not alitide

 

And, 60-70,000 is a pretty big lie from Crabtownboy.

But...what's new around here?

 

Nope nothing new

 

Looks like it could be two million

 

But it was not near that number .... 60 to 70,000 is a long way from 1 to 2 million. Oh well ..............
