Lafayette, LA Rally A Huge Success! ...+ photos
Posted by Mike and Karen
Saturday, March 7, 2009. Lafayette, La. - A crowd of U.S. taxpayers, estimated at 400-500, gathered at Lafayette's Memorial Park today to protest and show their disgust and anger at the astronomical amount of money being wasted by the U.S. government who has indicated that it will be the U.S. taxpayer to fund it all. Though the main theme of the protest was the extreme amount of 'Pork' being bought by the government and the subsequent increase in taxes, there were many other sentiments expressed against the current administration and the nations congressional and senate leaders for legislating and supporting the expensive bills.
It was a beautiful day and people were really enthusiastic that something, even though only symbolic, was being done. They were eager to hear the speeches and be a part of the re-creation of one of history's most profound demonstrations: The Boston Tea Party of 1773. the crowd cheered as the 'Tea" was thrown in the lake. In unison, the crowd shouted 'USA! USA' until the rally was over. Several attendees stayed and talked in small groups and several protesters continued to wave their signs and shout at motorists who passed by the park.
More demonstrations, gatherings and meetings are expected in the future and are aimed at stopping the financial bleeding and Socialistic direction the country is apparently headed for. One attendee pointed out this fact: "There was not one single piece of trash left on the ground when it was all over" alluding to the filthy garbage littered streets of Washington, D.C. left by his supporters after President Barack Obama's inauguration in January of this year.

GLOBAL AGENDA – CENTRALIZED MONEY, POWER AND TYRANNY
The more things change, the more they stay the same! Communism and socialism have always been sold as populist theories and advanced by those seeking to serve only themselves. Nothing has changed in that regard, as Obama-Clinton deploy The Cloward-Piven Strategy via social networking and communal organizing of leftists across the country and around the world.A Bad Week in Clintonville
Bill Clinton is the stereotypical southern Democrat politician: smooth, personable, sly as a fox, every man’s friend on the outside, but tough, manipulative, hard as nails, and totally corrupt on the inside. He and his wife have been through many adventures and misadventures together, and when their final story is written a generation or two from now those who read it will shake their heads in disbelief… especially when they review the events of the week of April 30, 2012.Fox News and the [Rubio] Eligibility Debate
For more than three years, those who love the U.S. Constitution and who respect the Rule of Law have debated endlessly the eligibility of Barack Obama to serve as President of the United States. Those who’ve studied the issue with an open mind are convinced, beyond any reasonable doubt, that Obama, born to an American mother and a father of Kenyan/British citizenship, is not a “natural born Citizen” as required by Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution.Why They Still Call Him President
Some still call Barack Obama president out of pure ignorance, but others brilliantly call him President with a very specific agenda in mind. It’s all over but the crying now… as Article II of the U.S. Constitution is officially dead.VP Myths And Misguided “Conventional Wisdom”
The nation has now reached that milestone of the presidential campaign in which major speculation is taking place regarding the choice of running mate for presumed Republican nominee Mitt Romney. And while the ultimate decision will of course fall to Romney, a great deal of bad advice is being offered by party players operating under wholly wrongheaded presumptions and exhibiting a total lack of understanding of the potential to negatively impact the campaign.Tech Notes
