Patriotic anti-big-government taxpayers blast through the million protester mark

ABC News reports that two million Americans flooded D.C. in what people in the crowd were calling "a conservative Woodstock" Like the liberal Woodstock of the '60s, thousands were rumored stranded on freeways. Some walked in to DC, ditching their cars and busses. I walked with a 5 deep 6 block long column of protesters from Pennsylvania Avenue who had walked miles from where they had to leave their busses. Networks including Fox News continued through the time I'm writing this at 8 p.m. local Eastern time reporting that "tens of thousands" showed up. Whasup with that? When will we get some reliable reporting out of the corporate media types?

This event had been promoted as a taxpayer "tea party" but the crowd's concerns were wide ranging, from outrage at ACORN and Obama's socialist cadre known as Czars, to Obama's untruthfulness. Protesters also displayed signs mocking Nancy Pelosi and others for smearing the grassroots movement as "astroturfers" and as an angry mob.



I think this gathering should be appreciated as the extremely important historical event that it is. This is the first great conservative anti-statist manifestation in American history. The conservative movement, which developed in the post-WWII, Cold War environment has now fully matured into the most significant political movement of the 21st century. I believe that this day could be referred to in the not too distant future as the day that changed America. This was the day the great silent conservative majority finally found its voice.

Many of the attendees were quite meek and timid and were unsure of exactly what to expect, this being the first time in their lives they'd been involved in a protest movement. Their fears evaporated early in the day and I saw people reveling in the camaraderie , the joy and sheer civility that was exhibited at the entire event. Chants of "Freedom, freedom, freedom", "No more czars! No more czars!" carried through the air without the slightest hint of rancor or incivility which is the norm at the leftist rallies I have photographed over the years.



The two photos above show a tiny fraction of the two million ABC estimates attended. I saw signs and heard lots of comments comparing this event to Woodstock. At the time this photo was taken, around 1:00 p.m., Pennsylvania Avenue was still jammed completely, and the mall was packed from the Capitol Building past the Washington Monument. See aerial photoshere.





Protesters came from every state in the union. This man came from San Antonio, TX. He said that he was really sorry he hadn't brought his family. He stated that being a black conservative he was afraid to expose his children to what he expected would be a lot of liberal abuse. He was thrilled with the tenor of the event and the fact that no liberals were present to harass him. He spoke about how incredibly intolerant the left is to black individuals who don't bow to the party line.



These Ohioans took a day off their rodeo bullriding schedule. They said they'll be back at it tomorrow.

Mike Pence (R-Indiana) was one of the speakers who addressed the crowd: "After years of fighting runaway government on this hill, you people look like the cavalry to me..I believe we are on the verge of a great American awakening."

San Diego radio host Mason Weaver said from the podium: "I came here because I thought you might want to hear a black man speak without a teleprompter.This government is trying to make a nation of dependent people. Americans have always been independent people.This is not a Republican thing, it's not a Democrat thing. It's not a black thing or a white thing. It's an American thing.We the people are telling them 'No more! We've had enough!"





In the very center of the photo, above the Silence is Consent - Can You Hear Us Now sign, you can see Pennsylvania Ave., which at this time is totally blocked with protesters who cannot move forward to the Capitol area. Sorry, full up.





There were notable differences though, in the behavior of these attendees. Although the legend of Woodstock is that there was a friendly atmosphere of camaraderie, the truth is that most people were there for the drugs, sex and rock and roll. Today in D.C. there was a true kinship amongst these people based on shared values and intellectual understanding of what America is and how its future is imperiled by big radical government.

No one was having sex in the Reflecting Pool let alone the mud, and I saw no one projectile vomiting on the steps of the Capitol. There were no warnings to avoid the bad acid which would send you on a trip to the hospital. Not just a different era, but a different level of civilized behavior and thought. Oh, and by the way, these people didn't leave tons of garbage behind when they left. Actually they left no trash behind at all.







Obama Lied, Capitalism Died.





We are the mob!















Support Class Envy! Redistribute Wealth.





Madam Speaker: Kiss Our Astroturf!







The Only Thing We Have to Fear is Obama Himself - - - Compassion is Voluntary, Not Compulsory!







WALNUT - Workers Against Lazy Non-Producers United Together - the conservative answer to ACORN. Didn't have to ask them if they were receiving any taxpayer money like radical left-wing ACORN. Different DNA!







Proud members of the "Angry Mob" and they're armed with their votes.

















Your wallet.the only place Democrats are willing to drill! - Don't share my wealth - share my work ethic!









Right-wing extremist armed with the constitution.









Who are the commie czars?

















Marxism - the opiate of the asses - Posters from the Peoples Cube are proliferating amongst protesters.

World's #1 Crypto-Marxist. Endorsed by Fidel Castro: "The most powerful progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency." - GRANMA, Havana, May 26, 2008

Dictator Castro did indeed endorse Obama! Note that he used the word progressive to describe Barack? Well that's because the Libs gave the word liberal such a bad smell by their behavior and policies over the years that they had to abandon it. They started referring to themselves as progressives and figured no one would notice the word's communist pedigree. It means progress on the road to socialism and Castro understands it that way. Well shazzam Martha, look at that! The president really is a progressive just like NPR says !!

Nancy Pelosi has accused patriotic tea-party goers of "carrying swastikas" implying that they are Nazi sympathizers or worse. This event was knee deep in hammers and sickles and words like "socialist" "communist" and "Marxist". It continues to fascinate me how the Democrat Party tolerates this without ever commenting on it. When will the MSM ask the questions about his The High One's communist buddies and endorsers? And why do people who absolutely loath the USA, like Castro, Chavez, Ortega, and Michael Moore worship at the alter of Obama? Well at least the communists who endorse him have no qualms about telling it like it is.









Ever present at Tea Parties are Sons of Liberty re-enactors. The couple on the left is from Tennessee and the young lady on the right is not but she joined in the photo. The clothing for the couple was hand stitched by the lady on the left. And boy do they love America.

Much to everyone's surprise (those that don't know better), the message yesterday was one of unity to our government: STOP! YOU WORK FOR US!
