The leader where I am is so far to the right and ignorant I can't be around her. She will cause the whole group to be painted with the same brush. I had hoped there could be an honest protest.

Glenn Beck's coming to ours. I'm doubt I'll be able to get through the traffic in time after I finish work. The Alamo is right downtown and parking is scarce.

I watched it yesterday.... I liked the part about Dimmit's Goliad Flag

Dimmit's Goliad Flag. This militant and defiant banner, designed by Goliad garrison commander, Capt. Phillip Dimmitt, dramatically reflected the political shift of Texians and Capt. Dimmitt away from support of the independent statehood of Texas in the Mexican Federalist Republic and return to the Constitution of 1824 to support of complete separation from Mexico as an independent Republic. Before he returned from the Siege and Battle of Bexar to Goliad in the middle of Dec 1835, Capt. Dimmitt was an avid Mexican Federalist and opposed to separation which was symbolized in the 1824 Mexican tri-color which is also thought to be of his own design. Dimmitt's bloody arm flag was said to have been raised ceremonially on Dec 20 upon the signing of the Goliad Declaration of Independence as the official flag of the occasion although the banners of companies of Capt. William S. Brown and Capt. William Scott were also present at Goliad at the time.

Which banner was actually flown over the Goliad garrison is the subject of controversy and comment by historians. Mary Agnes Mitchell in First Flag of Texas Independence cites memoirs of participants John James and Nicholas Fagan "The Goliad flag was made personally by Captain Dimmitt himself....It was of white domestic, two yards in length and one in width, and in the center was a sinewy arm and hand, painted red, grasping a drawn sword of crimson.....The flagpole was made from a tall sycamore which was procured from the woods along the banks of the San Antonio River.....The flagstaff was in the yard of the quadrangle opposite the entrance to the officers' quarters." Dimmitt's flag flew over the ramparts of Goliad through 10 Jan 1836 when Dr. James Grant and the Federalist Volunteers of Texas forced its removal with threat of violence and which caused the subsequent exit of Col. Dimmitt and those loyal to him from the garrison. The banner is thought to have exited with them. The motivation behind Dimmitt's use of the bloody arm symbol is unclear as was whether he acquired it independently or simply under influence of the Brown flag which employed the same symbol (see Origin of the Bloody Arm Symbol).

Some pics I got at our Tea Party.

I saw ALL kinds of posters.

People are PISSED and have their own point of view as these pics will show...

First pic is where I stood (a bus stop)...........

Beautiful day with the Sandia's in background. It is about 3:45 and rally was not supposed to start until 4:00.

Second is my sign..........

The kid with the flag was like the pied piper, with people parading behind him.

There were thousands of people out and NO book burnings or covert operations from the libs....

Yeh, I think it's great, too. They estimated 20,000 were at the San Antonio party. Big cities, small cities, and towns all across America ... millions virtually ignored or ridiculed by most "news" agencies.

It is a protest against taxes named for the original tea party.

The power has shifted and the charge will purge forward unobstructed with vision and determination. The sights have been set and ordered toward the horizon of change with fervor free from disruption nor distraction.

The task is in motion and imposed, theres no turning back. The machine is rolling and mometum is gaining powered by the directive of the American people who desire the standards of government be altered and emerge triumphantly with honor and symbolism for the peoples of the world to once again rise and come forth with renewed hope, vivid clarity and allow citizens across the globe to dream of unity and peace.

This is the new creed from which all peoples may initiate a new beginning. A rebirth of humanity is upon us.

tea=taxed enough already

it is about the taxes that WILL have to be raised to pay for Bush's and Obama's bailout.

It is ALL grassroots (tho the liberal media calls it a RNC ploy:wah::wah::wah::wah:)
