Tea parties show Unity

The mainstream media ignores or mocks us. The Left blows us off or claims we’re the pawns of a “vast, right-wing conspiracy.” The lackadaisical or uninformed look the other way as they drive by. Often even our closest friends do not show interest in these important rallies. The tea parties have taught me not to worry about those reactions. I realized, though, this last Saturday that the most important lesson I’ve learned from my two tea parties is that I’m not alone.

If the tea parties do nothing else (and they will do much to further the conservative cause, I’m sure), they have solidified my belief in the American spirit. Sixty-two million Americans voted for someone other than the guy in the Oval Office right now. Tons of people who did vote for The Chosen One have serious voters’ remorse. They should.
