From the Boston Tea Party to your neighborhood pork protest



In Schmucky Schumer’s world, these American taxpayers don’t exist. A big crowd of them gathered in Seattle this afternoon to raise their voices in opposition to the trillion-dollar, pork-filled Generational Theft Act of 2009 — which will be signed into law by the blind President “There are no earmarks” Obama. Thanks to Zac Petersen for the photos. It took just one person — blogger Liberty Belle — to get the ball rolling. She writes: “Make no mistake, the President will be signing that bill tomorrow, I have no illusions that he will actually listen to us. BUT, maybe, just maybe we can start a movement that will snowball across the nation and get people out of their homes, meeting each other and working together to redirect this country towards its truly radical founding principles of individual liberty and freedom. Maybe people will wake up slowly at first, and then quickly when they realize the urgency needed.”
A few more pics from Seattle blogger Snark Patrol here.
And more from American Typo, including this one:

Update: KIRO TV covered the event. Watch for the unhinged lib who tries to disrupt the peaceful protest with a Nazi salute.

The movement continues in Denver tomorrow. Colorado Americans for Prosperity is organizing a protest countering President Obama’s visit to the city to sign the porkulus legislation at an exclusive, invitation-only event at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in City Park. Protesters will gather at the west steps of the Capitol (Lincoln Street, between 14th and Colfax) from 11:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mountain time.
I am making good on my promise to deliver a roasted pig to the event.
Join us!

I’ve heard from readers in Nashville and NYC who are trying to organize events of their own. What are you doing? From the Boston Tea Party…to the Denver Pig Roast. Show Schmucky and the generational thieves you care, you count, and you’re ready to move from melting the phones to pounding the pavement for fiscal responsibility.

Well folks, looks like our government has contracted the worst case of “Suey Fever” ever. The symptoms of this is to spend everyone elses cash as fast as you can.
Blasphemer! Good barbecue is pulled, not chopped. It stays moist that way.
Today I am flying my flag upside down an at half mast. I am in mourning for the death of a Republic and the creation of the United Socialist States of America. We are in deep do do.
I’m starting to understand how the average Venezuelan feels.
Hopeless leadership and a fawning press. Example, John Harwood of CNBC/NBC on right now making excuses for the Obama early “stumbles”.
The fools can’t see he took down America as we know it in less than a month in power.
If the menu said “pulled pork”, I would have gotten that. Unfortunately, it says “chopped bbq.” You take what you can get in RI.
Better than sending money to the RNC.
Good showing for us passive conservatives.. I hope as many or more show up in Denver. I am going and my 78 year old mom wants to go too..
Sadly, the only thing that might get us out of this self-immersed cesspool is an inescapable war (exactly the same as what snatched FDR’s fascist ass out of the fire 70 years ago).
Where’s Osama when Obama needs him? Appearing at a nearby “theatre” soon, one would have to hope.
Please note that the signs are spelled correctly. Also please note the complete lack of effigy hangings, flag burnings and Che t-shirts.
You can tell it’s not a left wing protest.
The Liberal Fascists can save their Nazi salutes for The One. He is, afterall, the National Socialist!
Yeh, speaking of….
Hows that working out for you?
Mike Huckabee coined another name for the porkulus bill on his show this past week:
Congressional
Relief
Action
Program
The same theme as MM’s but has an “official” ring to it.
I’m waiting for a barbecue chain to offer up a Pork Sandwich named in honor of this pig in a blanket of a program.
Maybe it can be dedicated to Schumer, Pelosi, and Reid.
It could be named something like the “Schumer Swine Sandwich” or the “Pelosi Pig Sandwich” or the “Harry Pig Sandwich”.
UPDATE: “Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean out of prison “
Thank you, Michelle for reporting on this demonstration. We would not have heard about it unless we lived nearby! As Hannity likes to say, “Journalism in MSM died in 2008!” After they shut down talk radio, we bloggers are next!
Oh, you guys should calm down – at least Ann Coulter still suppors all of you:
“Coulter spends the better part of three pages defending a group called the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), which The New York Times had described as a “thinly veiled white supremacist organization.” Coulter begs to differ. The CCC, Coulter opines, is “a conservative group” that has unfairly been branded as racist “because some of the directors of the CCC had, decades earlier, been leaders of a segregationist group.” “There is no evidence on its Web page that the modern incarnation of the CCC supports segregation,”
I wonder if those CCC Directors were close to Robert Byrd of WVA?
and so it starts in Illinois Liability insurance required for gun owners.
Michelle how about a separate thread for this?
Tell me, “Ihatemycountry”, what makes you think that anybody other than yourself is remotely interested in what the New York Slimes has to say about anything?
Citing the NYT? They have no credibility left. They have become political activists instead of reporters.
It would be like me citing Rush Limbaugh to you.
That’s not really fair. Rush is popular.
Ilovemycountry said:
You must really hate Sen Byrd. (D)
Are gun owners allowed to sue for punitive damages resulting from psychological and post traumatic stress caused by idiot criminals who physically stopped my bullets?
I bet the CCC supports something ridiculous, (to the NYT), like enforcing the Constitutional requirement to “protect the states from invasion” by actually securing the borders and deporting those who are here illegally.
Errah, when can I catch the $8Bn Harry Reid train to vegas and the 4M hooker’s “jobs that we are saving”??!!!!
Hey “Ilove mY Country”,, do you happen to be living in a white guilded gated community where you proclaim you are one hundred percent non racist? I bet you never had a garage, house, or car tagged either. I’m part Native American and I around here on the reservation we tire of white liberals who say one thing and then run home to their white enclaves.
