		<description><![CDATA[How Was Your TEA Party?


By Nichole Hungerford

A great message of appreciation to all of the concerned patriots who took time from their 4th of July holiday to raise some cane and attend a TEA party.  At a time when our nation seems to be racing away from our founding principles faster than ever, there is nothing more poignant, or more hopeful, than Americans gathered on the celebrated day of the birth of those principles to take a stand against encroaching tyranny.  Perhaps CNN learned their lesson from the first TEA party event, where one of their vicious reporter famously attacked April 15th protesters.  Their coverage of last week’s protest was much less combative, and dare I say, fair.  Hopefully, we will continue to see protests in reaction to heavy overreach by Washington liberals and their phony conservative accomplices.]]></description>
