Beck: What are Tea Partys Really All About? - San Antonio Tea Party @ the Alamo - 4/15/09

Chants like "Give me liberty, not debt" and "Our kids can't afford you" were heard across several U.S. cities Wednesday as anti-tax "tea party" protesters took to the streets to voice their opposition to big government spending.

Thousands of protesters -- some dressed in colonial wigs with tea bags hanging from their eyeglasses -- showed up in states from California to Kentucky to Massachusetts, holding signs and reading speeches lambasting the Obama administration's tax-and-spend policies.

"I have two little kids and I know we are mortgaging their futures away," one protester at a rally in Austin, Texas told FOX News. "It makes me sick to my stomach."

The demonstrations are part of a larger grassroots movement against government spending called Taxed Enough Already, or TEA -- giving name to the Tax Day Tea Parties -- and come more than 235 years after the original Boston Tea Party revolt against taxes.

@Core1138 Wrong. We no longer trust Faux news . Blackmail lawfare from the left radicals turned fox into another set of lamestream media liars. They are not to be trusted Ur argument does not hold water. We get info from seeing it ourselves, & we get out of our easy chairs to listen/discuss 1st hand accounts. The truth has no agenda & now its easy to spot. Media reports provides a road map to the issues, but sadly are never without spin. Its a starting point on the discovery road 2 truth

@ROCM29 Well, I do not agree or believe are ur assumptions of what Eric Cantor (R-Va) actually said or what he meant. Liberal/Progressive/Democrat/O­bama-Supporters et al, are notorious for completely perverting what any conservative said about anything. YOU have taught us never to trust what you say, and we always go back to review the material. That way we get a 1st person account of what was actually said. Which informs &clarifies the issues. Consequently, that always goes badly for you.

I wonder if now the Tea Baggers , especially in LA, TX, NC, PA, NJ, NY, CONN, VT and NH, agree with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) that the government should not give disaster aid and help fellow Americans and the victims of Hurricanes, Floods, Tornados and Fires, unless there are equal Budget Cuts?

Glenn Beck endorses Ron Paul nowadays.

Extremist is as extremist does.

The Alamo setting sends a message to the mexican haters!

You know why the Tea Party will always remain just a movement instead of an actual party?

- There are not enough back woods, racist rednecks with cell phones, computers and TV's.
