We spent the afternoon at the Loveland Colorado Tea party. I would estimate 1,500 American's lined the sidewalks for two city blocks in each direction.
We were both a bit apprehensive of "protesting" at first but that quickly went away. We met alot of like minded folks that all share a common bond. WE ARE FED UP! This was not a Conservitive vs. Liberal thing. Nor was it a Republican vs. Democrate. It was all about being American! We stood side by side waving signs as to what we wanted heard. There were people from both sides of the isle, just sick and tired of the mess that DC is in. This wasn't about Obama bashing, this was all for one and one for all!

There were people of all walks of life. Hispanic, black, white, from 3 to 83. Some more vocal then others but for the most part, It was VERY civil. It reminded me of a 4th of July parade more then a protest. The chanting U.S.A...U.S.A, the signing of our National Anthem, The pledge of Alligence. The sounds of non stop horns from passers by.

I left there with a patriotic feeling that almost was enough to bring a man to tears. I personally haven't felt that feeling since the days after 9/11. I will definitly be back!

As you can see this is a pretty scarey crowd! Especially when being deemed by Homeland Security as "Right Wing Radicals" There was a gentlemen walking around in a HLS vest that was portraying a Newspaper photographer. When I asked him ,which paper he was with? He quickly turned around and walked away.
 
Casper's tea party was great we expected 100 people and had over 500.
I'll check my pics and post some when i get home from work.
i was proud to be there.
 
I must add this disclaimer...

Despite what might have been said on the "in Obama's shorts" media programs. This Post is EXACTLY how the days festivities played out.
