    I live in DC and work about a block from the White House. I see there are two different locations indicated: Washington Monument (via Little Miss Attila) and Lafayette Sq. (via Chuck Simmins). Are there two? As anyone who lives here knows, they are about a million miles away from each other by foot. So it would be helpful to clear this up. Thanks!

    *It was very disappointing to learn that the omnibus budget bill that just passed had close to 50% of the earmarks sponsored by Republicans; They have missed a great opportunity to stand apart from the Democrats; Sad; Too many in both parties seem intent on doing what the islamofascists have so far been unable to do, which is to destroy America as we know it.

    Does anybody know if there will be a Tea Party in Richmond, VA? That would really give Gov. Kaine a nasty shock.

    I just wonder if the Americans who sleepwalk through life will catch on to this. Especially those Dems, Independents, and even Republicans who voted for Obummer. I’m pretty sure they’re not gonna give a damn.

    It’s just the beginning my friend.

    1. It connects many people with a raging anger about how this country is turning.
    2. It encourages others that they are not alone
    3. It re-energizes fiscal conservatives
    4. It sends a message to Washington DC to those who are suppose to represent us.

    What were the deliverables to the million man march?

    What were the deliverables to the the march on Selma and Martin Luther King’s activities?

    What were the deliverables to the Boston Tea Party?

    People against the Vietnam War tried that in the late sixties and early seventies (I believe Joan Baez led the cry) – it failed miserably. You know, for someone who claims to support Obama, why bring up Afghanistan when Obama is getting us deeper in that wasteland by sending an additional 17,000 US Troops? That’s not a very supportive thing for you to say.
    

    Their rallies were way bigger that the puny “Tea Parties”.

    Well, somebody gets what the real issue is. The socio-political left in this country can only mobilize for Total War when the identified enemy is their domestic political opposition. They declared war on conservatism a long time ago.

    Unfortunately, “protests” are too little, too late. Hope-a-Dope and his minions in Congress (or is it Nancy & Harry and their minion Hope-a-Dope? It’s hard to tell) have already irrevocably set this country on the same path as the Weimar Republic.

    It’s only a matter of time before our children/grandchildren are going to have to renounce the trillions in un-repayable debt that’s being piled onto them; then the Dollar won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on, literally.

    From there it’s on to hyper-inflation and another massive economic depression, culminating in the existing system being swept away … “By what?” is the only question that matters.

    Forget the teabags. Symbolically protesting the fact that the horses have already fled the stable is pointless when not only are the horses long gone, but the stable itself is burning down.

    Better effort is invested in bringing up those who will live through the Second American Revolution to understand the principles, attitudes, values and beliefs that once made this such a unique and great country — so that they might hold onto those ideals when it comes time to start all over again, and resist the temptation to follow “The Man on Horseback” when he inevitably arrives to take advantage of the chaos.

    LGM completely misstated the fairness doctrine. It was not about preventing favoritism between the two parties or giving them equal time. It was about how stations presented diverse viewpoint to the public.

    In the mid-eighties The Spupreme Court saw the problem with enforcing ‘fairness’ and wisely let the doctrine fade away.

    We all know today’s bill is a sneaky way to stifle talk radio by limiting and localizing license ownership. Soon the FCC may have the power to arrange your radio spectrum into a brave new broadcast world, one that does not include RUSH.

    That should make everyone very concerned.

    LGM and the dems mistate the fairnes doctrine because they have agenda to get rid of talk radio. To accomplish this, they must misstate what the fairness doctrine was, in an attempt to go back to that mythical time when broadcasting was ‘more fair.’ They claim that the fairness doctrine had something to do with equal time and not favoring one political party over the other, but that is NOT SO.

    Tulsa is still going on. Frigid weather; everyone wishes it was yesterday when it was 80. I personally counted about 300, but people were coming and going, so I guess there may have been 400 – 500 with the pass throughs. Of course, you can also subtract out about 50 press and politicians who had to be there. I did notice that the TV stations (with the exception of Fox) who never mentioned the event, did send cameras and observers there. I heard one talking on his phone mentioning 200 people. I wonder what event he was talking about. AM radio was there in force, along with Fox, of course. I have pictures but I don’t know how to send them in this format, and I won’t push my blog.

    By the way, this is a huge turnout for Tulsa. It is only exceeded by gun shows and basketball games.
