Hell hath no fury like a former liberal woman.
We’re not gonna take it! NO! We ain’t gonna take it! We’re not gonna take it, aaaaanymore!!!!
Woo! Whooooo! Just got back from the tea party and it was…AWE-Freakin’-SOME!
Hollah to my fellow tea party revelers, we couldn’t have made the event such a huge success without you. There were 1,000 people registered over at the group on Facebook but I’d say nearly double that actually showed. Yeah, so much for these tea parties being about just a small group of “crazy people.” (rolling eyes) Ummm, no LA Times - if you’re looking for the address of crazytown then hone in on anywhere Code Pink is. (And the liberal media wonders why they are going bankrupt and losing readers at every turn – gee, maybe because you don’t listen to the majority of Americans – la di freakin’ DUH!)
Anynitwit, I got to the event early and there were so many people I could only get a spot in the middle. The speakers were great and I’ve got some video I’ll post up later from ManCow.

I hoisted my double sign – Spending Our Way To Failure/My Birthday Wish is No More Spending – and it was an attention getter. At one point I bumped into a couple people due to my sign and as a gracious person (and normal Republican) I apologized for running into them. The nice lady I met made a very humorous remark “We Republicans are so polite. Only someone would be courteous at a conservative protest.” It’s either really funny or sad for the liberals that she is 100% correct. But there were some creative signs throughout the rally. Here are some pics.

Later on I did encounter a couple liberal nutroots lurking about, stirring up trouble. OF COURSE. Here’s some pics of our encounter with one. I never caught his name because I could have cared less but for the sake of this post let’s call him “Self-Proclaimed-Know-it-all-from-Using-Only-Wikipedia-As-a-Source Jacob” (no offense to all non-nutroots named Jacob). Here’s how a typical exchange went down:
Jacob “Umm…Obama’s about change and he’s turning stuff around. We’ve got to do something with Medicare/Medicaid?”
The sane folk aka conservatives “Can you supply some facts on that? Obama’s policies have dramatically increased spending without outlining any pragmatic specifics on strategy or how this money will be used.”
Jacob “Umm, Why are you answering my question with a question? Ummm, don’t answer a question with a question.” (notice Jacob also answers a question with a question and also fails to provide any evidence. NOTE to the dimwit liberal – your. opinion. is. not. a. fact.)
At another point, Jacob got the old “don’t answer a question with a question” thrown back in his face by the guy here in the black coat (In Yo’ Faaaaaaaaaace!)
My favorite part was when one guy (I believe his name was Bill) countered our probably NYT-informed “friend” with the following “I’m talking from detailed facts.” Somehow Jacob still didn’t get it – I think that’s cause it’s hard to accept and understand facts when you’ve spent your entire life basing arguments on emotions and :30 clips from CNN’s Wolf “I wouldn’t know journalism if it bit me in the ass” Blitzer.
Anyhootdebatinganutroot, that’s my recap of the incredible rally here in Chi-town. There are plenty more going on. Check out on of my favs, Michelle Malkin, or HotAir, or Ace of Spades to get pics and recaps.
The ranting and raving of a woman formally brainwashed under the liberal agenda. Through investigation, commentary and sarcasm about government, this woman is breaking free of the hypocritical liberal party that tries to manipulate women into believing only they can represent women’s rights. Get informed, get free, get Un-Liberaled! This blog does not endorse any particular candidate or party - although if I did, I most likely wouldn’t endorse a liberal candidate. For instance, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) or as I like to call her Smancy Pelotox would not get my vote. Comprende? Good. Hope you enjoy the rants! :)

I attended the tea party, and I was impressed that it was so crowded. I’m glad that the Chicago area has so many people who dislike higher tax rates and spending.

On Taxes, and Greed vs. Power…
Today is tax day, and two days ago (April 13th) was tax freedom day (the day you finnish working for the government, and start for yourself). Couple that with the throngs of people attending the many ‘Tea Party’ protests around the nation…

Apparently, I was about 20 feet in front of you. Great event. Thought the speeches were appropriately not about parties.

I snapped some pictures at the Chicago tea party, too. My favorite was the one that said the individual claimed the federal goverment as a dependent on his tax forms.

I was at the Chicago rally today. Had a great time, met some nice people, and now feel re-charged. maybe we can build on this and retake America.
I would love to see someone do a side by side photo comparison of a typical tea party crowd versus your typical lefty protest. Everyone today was enthusiastic but also polite and respectful.

Love it!! I had such a great time!! I was one of the people surrounding the CNN nutjob “reporter” and can I just say it felt sooo good to stand there and wave my fist in her face and chant “CNN GO HOME!” to her??
The signs were so creative and I really enjoyed talking to a ton of strangers with the same mindset. Also, I’ve had that song (”We’re not gonna take it”) in my head ALL NIGHT!

Finally! I have had a hard time trying to find someone who is also un-liberaled, since the liberal movement has changed so dramatically from it’s original roots. I love this post! I went to the Tea Party in Love Park, Philly! It was rainy and cold but we managed to stick it out, not a large crowd because of the rain. Tomorrow there is another one, hopefully it will be better!
