mainstream media Sucks!!!

Yesterday was an awesome experience, to stand with likelinded folks, the frustrattion was obvious by the signs and conversations that were heard but was mainly the fear and the concern our fellow citizens felt about the direction of this country. Peoples were well mannered and excited to be there to show the support for one another. I was honored to stand with such individuals.

the videos can be found here:

Although I had expected some opposition there was none, except as I was walking to my car holding my flag, a young punk kid yelled "Death to America-Heil Hitler". I was not surprised by the comments but hurt that people feel they have been given the freedom to speak such defammatory gestures. I thought for a moment about him and realized although he was obviously against America, he was smart enough to realize the direction we are headed while so many others seem to still have their heads in the sand.

I am a "right wing extremist", as janet Nopalitano says, and I am proud of it!!!



In addition to the main website http://www.teapartyboise.com/ here are a few links that attended the protest:
