so I went to the local Tea Party last night. a couple of observations:
- nobody was under the age of 50. Now I know that Boerne doesn't have a HUGE population of younger folks, but I found this disheartening. Off the top of my head, I could rattle off 30 folks that are about my age. none of them were there. There were a lot of veterans, a lot of grey hair, and quite a few wheelchairs. Not sure what all that means, but it can't be good.
- they had a big poster with various "SPONSORS" and info on how I could become a sponsor. I thought it would take longer for folks to figure out how to capitalize on the movement, but I was wrong. They're already on top of it.
- Obama made fun of the protesters yesterday, saying that we should say "THANK YOU" instead. Has there ever been a more out of touch president in the history of Presidents? He truly has no idea what is happening around him, and he will pay dearly for it. Voter turnout in November is going to be astronomical.
- It was very neat to be standing in an exhibition hall surrounded by men and women that are truly Patriots. I've never experienced that before. Every last one of them would take up arms to defend our country, and do so out of pure love and respect for the country. that's rare and amazing. I was proud to be there.
