From the Boston Tea Party to your neighborhood pork protest

By Michelle Malkin  •  February 16, 2009 04:38 PM

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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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”.

    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 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.

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.
