Protesting Obama Part 3

So, the day began to wind down. I was sweaty, tired, dehydrated and hoarse. I'd made new friends, caught up with old friends and I think we did some good.

The good we did had nothing to do with Obama. He is not going to listen to anyone that will not vote for him. Unlike George W. Bush, he is not interested in what is best for the country despite his popularity. No, Obama is interested only in what is best for him and his popularity. The first American Idol President is on a quest for power and is trying to repeat FDRs feat of near-dictatorship.

I think the biggest impact we had was on each other. We are beginning to realize as a group that we can work together as conservatives to a common end to improve our country's state and to secure a better future for our children. If we all work together to the purpose of saving our country and preserving the values on which the republic was built, then we can leave a sustainable legacy for our generations to come.

I am most grateful to those that write to me and express gratitude in turn to me. It gives me a sense of community and the feeling that I am actually doing some good that others recognize.

Back tomorrow with the Center Right Meeting!

Protesting Obama Part 2

We walked in a circle and losing our collective voices when the shrieking of a fat liberal rang out from across the street. Shamu was wearing a purple blouse with shorts, which was unfortunate, and in the words of Eminem she had one finger on "each hand up."

Her cursing and gesturing were humorous enough, but when she nearly fell into the main road that separated us I nearly lost it. The fella with the megaphone began to address her concerns in better language than she was using.

As the day wore on I got warmer and warmer. One of the organizers had brought some water, bottled of course, and when we emptied a half dozen or so we sent the empties to the greenies standing on the opposite corner while we shouted "Increase Your Footprint.!"

Media from Lansing, Detroit, Flint and Japan was roving around and I made sure to stick my face in their cameras. The Detroit stations edited me out, probably because on two different occasions I actually spelled out "T-Y-R-A-N-T" very loudly into the camera while leering evilly. I was a little more tame on the Flint and Lansing stations and they broadcast some of what I said. I don't understand why Fox 2 Detroit didn't publish my following rant:

"John Dingell II or the III or whatever is my congressman and," looking directly into the camera, "we're coming after you, you tax hiking, spending, worthless Marxist. The second amendment was designed for tyrants like you and I think we're getting close to fulfilling our duty as citizens and exercising that particular right."

Well, the Fox 2 reporter stepped back a half step and then moved the mic back under my mouth. I called him later that evening and asked him why he didn't have the courage to broadcast my remarks, but he said, "No comment."

More to come tomorrow.

Protesting Obama

I was advised that perhaps I should use this blog as a platform for recording my activities in political activism. I realized that while there are a great number of bloggers and pundits throughout the information superhighway, a great percentage aren't active in the field. Those activists that do all the great work in the field of picket lines, signature gathering, flier distribution and all the other great work they do don't always have the time to blog about it.

So, let us begin with President Obama's appearance at Macomb Community College in Warren Michigan on Tuesday the 14th.

I arrived on campus at 12:20 or so and pulled into one of the main lots. The students and faculty don't have parking permits that I could see and the County Sheriff I spoke with said my car was fine where it was. He showed me where we were allowed to protest, according to the college's free speech zone regulations, and I settled down in my car for a Jimmy Johns sandwich and Rush Limbaugh.

It was a matter of five or ten minutes before the patriots began to gather. It seemed that the huge "Don't Tread on Me" flag being waved by a young man behind my car attracted them like bees to clover. Young, old, dapper, tattered, laughing, frowning, cussing, eloquent, they were of all stripes. I met a bricklayer, 200 retirees, black men, black women, pro-lifers, anti-war morons, greenies and children. Before long the cops came back and asked me how many we were expecting . I told him 200 and he looked at me skeptically. 3 hours later I saw the same cop and he smiled and said, "Oh, 400 or so. Plus those down there.", pointing to the other side of campus. I looked and saw another 150 or so.

We walked and chanted with the help of a good man who's got a great sense of humor and a biting sense of sarcasm. "Did We elect a marxist?!" He bawled into the megaphone. "YES WE DID!!!!!" Came the reply. "Walk in a circle, that's what the liberals do! It makes it look like there's more of us." He ordered. So we did.

My Conversation with a Black Man

I just had a back and forth email conversation with a fella who I'll henceforth refer to as "Exhibit A". He commented on the recent drop in the polls for Obama as more evidence of our continued American racist mentality.

I, of course, being someone who has difficulty keeping his mouth shut immediately responded by asking Xhibit what race had to do with Obama's falling poll numbers. Xhibit was really quite eloquent when he said, "You are never going to understand."

I explained to Mr. X that I thought the racist take on the falling poll numbers was in itself a racist view, that immediately taking refuge in the weak-minded victim-hooded socialist tradition of race-baiting was in fact bigoted.

After much deliberation and thought, and I'm sure a spell-check, Mr. X said, "LMFAO. There's nothing racist about it. You just don't understand."

My natural reaction to this was, "You're right. I don't understand using race as a means of continuing years of hatred and ignorance, for it is the means by which millions of Africans have been killed by thugs and governments along with ethnic Serbs, etc. etc."

Well, you can imagine that this just infuriated Mr. X. He started calling me names like: "Name Caller, NO-Job guy," and the like. I told him that I work for the man - me. He didn't seem to like this much either. I explained that it is bigots like himself that cause more harm than good and that the Socialist policies of the Democrat party are the cause of continued slavery and oppression in the inner-city and in the rural country.

At this point Mr. X said good-bye, rather, GOOD-BYE!, and I requested him as a friend on Facebook. I don't know if he's going to accept me as a friend, after all, I'm a white guy.

July 4 Northville Tea Party

Its a great day when patriots from around the state and the country come together to socialize, to rant and to come up with constructive ideas on how to solve this country's problems.

Its a great day when veterans of all ages and all branches of the military are shown respect and are given a hand of gratitude by over a thousand people who appreciate all they have done and still do for us.

Its a great day when we can express our displeasure with our elected officials who are only concerned with the furtherance of their own careers and neglect their true calling: selfless service to the constituency.

Unfortunately in Northville today the Attorney General of Michigan, Mike Cox, tried to turn today's Tea Party in Northville into a personal political event. Not only did AG Cox hold the mic for much longer than the time he had been alloted, he used the platform to lay out his proposed platform for the upcoming election. He took some potshots at Granholm that were received with smatterings of applause, but mostly he focused on himself.

While the AG spoke, operatives from his campaign worked the crowd trying to collect signatures of support from the captive audience. Before and after Cox spoke people took the opportunity to leave the venue in disgust or out of sheer boredom. It is truly unfortunate that this event for the PEOPLE was stolen from the PEOPLE and was misused as a political rally by someone who apparently is quite hungry for power.

I expressed my concern about this mess with the people who were gathering the signatures and then spoke to Cox himself after he finished speaking. I told him to hold onto his hat. He must have understood that I would take him to task from the podium, for he left shortly thereafter.

I wouldn't say that the AG is too chicken to be taken to task in a public venue. I think he just is too, too busy for the Average Guy like myself. He's heard all the rhetoric before I'm sure, most likely in his shower when talking to himself.

I'd like to apologize to the dozens of people I spoke to at the Tea Party who expressed their regret that this event was hijacked by a politician interested in furthering his own political career. Your complaints are not in vain and I will make sure that the AG is aware of them.

God Bless you all for coming and God Bless America.
