Do they even know what they're protesting?Or did they just want to be part of the scene? Or to be heard? Or were they just mad that the country may be slipping away from the homogeneous few to the multi-geneous many?
Were they protesting Obama's stimulus plan?Or the popularity of the man?
Were they just recovering from the shock that their fear mongering hyperbole lost much of it's effect (or affect) in the last election cycle?
Was this "Grass Roots" protest really the result of deposed despots seeking to regain power?
Were they just recovering from the shock that their fear mongering hyperbole lost much of it's effect (or affect) in the last election cycle?Or were they upset that some brash new usurper had taken the power that many believed was rightfully theirs to split among themselves, and that Obama even translated his popularity overseas?
Was this "Grass Roots" protest really the result of deposed despots seeking to regain power?Or were these well informed and concerned citizens exercising their Constitutionally given rights?
It seems that Fat Man Limbaugh and Fox had an agenda - to get Obama to fail.
I'm not a fan of most of Obama's current plans. In fact, I think that most of them are wrongheaded and over-reaching.
But I must ask;
Where was all this righteous indignation during the Bush years? Aren't 95% of the population's taxes lower? How many of those at these rallies made over $250k last year?
What ever happened to "Respecting the Office"? Or is that only applicable when one of the few insiders is in office?
Secede? Hasn't Texas already tried that?
Didn't these people have jobs to be at? Or is this just a question that gets asked at Immigration Reform rallies?
I hate to place race in the context of politics - but in this case, is this just a case of "wrong vs. white"?

Welcome to playing the race card? I have been thinking what the hell are they talking about for the longest time. I mean did he even raise any taxes yet? Are they not in the USA with us where all the people at GM were about to lose their jobs? Are they not the same people who lost 40% of their house value? I mean who are these people for real!
Oh yeah they are the angry whites who want to blame the black man for existing in the office for under 3 months. They see hell on the horizon or maybe they saw it with a Black President in their nightmare. So they keep making up ucking tea party's are you joking?
It's racial homie very racial!
@ FreeMan - I can play the Race Card. In fact, it's sometimes the only sensible card to play. But I have more than just that single card in my deck.
But when valid - you gotta' call a spade a Spade.
As I said in my blog, there's a black man running the country and that doesn't set well with some white folks. So, like they scraped the bottom of the barrel for any reason (any reason at all) to not vote for him, they are doing the same thing to attack his leadership. Make no mistake, when it comes down to it, these protests have little to do with taxes.
