St Paul Tax Day Tea Party Part One

About 10,000 people turned out to protest President Obama, the payment of taxes, and child support. I will add this video (and a second one) to my blog along with some photos from the event. The speaker is Chris Baker from KTLK radio. Here is a link to my blog images from the event: http://silencedmajority.blogs.com/silenced_majority_portal/2009/04/st-paul-ta...

Right and left are one and the same. It's pretty ignorant to flame each other and not focus on the puppet masters especially with petty name calling.

agreed

People, get beyond this left/right, liberal/conservative, false dichotomy. The big problem is federal spending. When the Republicans were in charge from 2001 through 2006, they spent like drunken sailors. Except sailors spend their own money.

While it's true that the Democrats are taking it to a new level, they are only doing more of the same. Let's stay on message. We need EVERYONE to get on board to reign in the spending, to reign in the expansion and abuse of power by government.

end the fed, bring our soldiers home, screw the left/right bull, life isn't black and white.

Nice coverage. Thanks for all of us that have no opportunity to attend due to physical limitations. Good job.

I was at the tea party yesterday and I agree that all of us need to stand together regardless of our individual interests (republican vs democrat). There is another demonstration on May 2nd... be there!!!

I TOTALLY agree. The DICHOTOMY WAS REINFORCED, NOT BROKEN. I was disgusted at the way the entire "message" that was supposed to be pushed through got lost in Pro-Republican banter, and anti-liberal (Democrat) rhetoric. How much of the time was spent poking fun at liberal stereotypes? Congrats Rep's :(

I saw more Republicans there with signs having the cliche arguments on them, and less of the libertarian (not PARTY, but IDEALS) type signs. I saw one sign that said "GOOGLE: ENDGAME." Yay :)

I was at the Tea Party, but started getting sun-burned pretty good and had to leave before I wanted to. (I'm on prescription that I have to watch sun.) Proud of everyone who came and hope the next one is bigger yet. I will come better prepared for the sun next time and will bring others with me.

Thanks for this video! I wanted to attend, but like he says, I was working. Hopefully there are more national rallies against federal bailouts.
