truckers ride for constitution / veterans protest march


Lots of noise. Horn tooting. People in the comments say they are weeping. 


Mostly quiet.


GOP moneymaker right here. If not, then they're insufficiently cynical to match their opponents. This photo is suddenly everywhere all at once. No anger apparent, only stolid determination.

What's funny?

That photo says it all Chip.

Let the Obama apologists explain that one. Maybe they will say he is not a veteran but just a tea party guy. That is what all of these assholes have been saying all day.

chickelit said...

Obama et al. have no fucking clue who they are waking up.

What's funny?

The instructional part at the beginning.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Twisting the camera?

Trooper York said...

I saw some video on the 11pm news where some of the protestors at the White House were being manhandled and arrested. I wonder how that is going to play out.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Mr Obama, we are paying for those monuments, parks and lands.

MamaM said...

Best Line @1:46 in 1st tall/narrow vid:

"Just because we can." Followed by a purposeful smile.

Later, "This is America, right here."

The second video, my favorite part is marching the barricades to the white house past the police car. They broke politely and let the police car pass instead of using the barricades to block it in reverse rudeness. Barrycades. The marchers look like a train of leaf cutter ants carrying them.

This is how revolutions start.

The protests will be ineffective until they get giant puppets with heads made of paper mache.

Shouting Thomas said...

According to my lefty correspondents on FB, these protests were entirely composed of racists hoping to revive the Confederacy.

Secret mission... return to slavery!

I wish that I had been there to help.

Barrycades are going back up again

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

the King shall not be bothered by the troubles of the unwashed masses. Bow down and worship the king... or his Media Matters Mothers will send Ted Cruz another fruit basket. The left are aces at pranks and money waste.

Yes. Determination and keeping the righteous anger in check. This is how you win.

The media wants to make this a Tea Party and racist event. It is neither. First of all there is no official Tea Party. There is a state of mind that embodies the concept and values of a Tea Party, but there is no registration or card carrying involved.

Just like the Mythical State of Jefferson. It doesn't officially exist. It does exist as a concept. Neither did the United States of America officially exist, but it sure as hell was a concept that eventually came to fruition.

On the comment section at TOP in the disgusting craven post about the Veteran's protest in DC and taking down the Barrycades, someone made a good quote from a despicable man;

As Abbie Hoffman said, "For a revolution, you don't need a majority. You just need enough."

Perhaps we should take this advice.

Where the Hell have these sleepers been the last five years?

Ignorance is Bliss said...

This is America, right here.

There are two Americas. This is one of them. The other was on display in some Walmarts in Louisiana.

The second one won the election last year.

And a preview of what will be coming to your neighborhood and your home when the bottom falls out and the freebies aren't available any more. They think they are entitled to YOUR stuff and YOUR life because.....

Think it won't happen to you? Good luck with that.

Trooper York said...

It is going to be really bad. That is what Obama is counting on. Martial law. The whole nine yards.

Winter is coming.

Hopefully a lot of people could be denied insurance access this way.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Sure. Because that's what a police presence during civil disobedience means: Martial Law. That's why right-wingers were always so sympathetic to scenes like this. Which never led to abuses like this.

Oh well. Whichever side Jesus is on is the one that is always right and can get away with whatever violence or lawbreaking it wants. Like I said, if you can't get to deny people health coverage, then anything's justified. No extralegal measures are too extreme for a cause as righteous as that.

Sheesh, I never even thought of that angle. I thought they were protesting to cause America to default.

Didn't Joe Biden warn about that? "They wanna put you all back in chain!" Biden must be smarter than he looks.

Of course everyone knows who is pushing the "New Confederacy" meme the hardest regarding this protest...I'd mention him by name but I don't want to summon his defender, Sir Titus.

chickelit said...

I think the left needs to equate the Tea Party with racism because they recognize that it has grown under Obama but need a reason. To them, the Tea Party must be a reaction to something Obama is rather than some things he does.

And who would that be? This guy?

Chick: People aren't as mysterious as you think. Sometimes they actually tell you things about themselves. With flags.

Learn semiotics. People express themselves in more than just words, and oftentimes use symbols, body language, and other visual and/or auditory cues to tell you things about them.

chickelit said...

Rit: I've seen a few different angles and shots of the the same flag now in several different places, all labeled "Another Confederate Flag."

I wonder if anyone even recognizes the other flag besides the the American one. Its not one you see often raised at "Tea Party" events.

I know you are, but please try not to look and act so divorced from and totally clueless about veterans and their causes.
