Went to the Temecula TEA Party today with my new friend Donna! It started at 11 a.m., but we arrived at 12:45 p.m. There were several crowds of people on each corner of the busy intersection of Ynez and Rancho California Rd. There were also several groups lined up along the road on all sides.
As we turned the corner to find a place to park, I honked the horn several times and gave a thumbs up! Everyone along the route waved their signs and flags and cheered! After we parked we found a nice shady spot under some trees. It was hot!
There were all kinds of home-made signs. Some were familiar, others were quite hilarious!! Here are some examples:
1. OBAMA - One Big A** Mistake America
2. Don't Tread on Me
3. 90% tax hike for Congress (loved THAT one!)
4. Crap and Trade (with a pic of a pile of it! hah hah!)
5. Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing its idiot
6. Tea or Kool-Aid (pics) - Which one are you drinking?
7. Next time read the bill!
8. Washington D.C. Corruption
9. Vote the bums out!
10. 1776 not 1984
11. Got Socialism? (other side) Is this what you wanted America?
12. Taxed Enough Already!
13. I'll keep my freedom - you keep the change
14. Audit the Fed!
15. Say no to generational theft!
16. My child is not your ATM!
17. Of the people, by the people, for the people.
I approached the guy with that "Of the people" sign and told him about ObamaFRAUD's speech where he purposely left out the "for the people" part of that phrase. The man said, "it doesn't surprise me."
There were many many more signs. A lot of them were very clever - and so true! I will add them as I recall them.
My friend Donna took some photos and will send them to me via email so I can post them tomorrow.
Hundreds of people drove by honking their horns in support and giving the thumbs up sign. Some people drove by with sour looks on their faces...pretending that they didn't see us. There were also some nasty people who shouted curses out the window and put up their middle fingers. What childish losers...
There were certainly many more people driving by, honking, waving, and giving the thumbs up support!!
Happy Independence Day!
More tomorrow!
P.S. As I was searching the blogs, I found out that President Bush and Laura Bush attended the Let Freedom Ring Festival in Oklahoma. Gateway Pundit reports: Thunderous Applause Greets Bush in Oklahoma-- 6 Standing Ovations
Excerpt:
Former President George W. Bush spoke amid thunderous applause in a rural Oklahoma town to celebrate the Fourth of July, calling the U.S. the ''greatest nation on the face of the earth.''
Bush was given six standing ovations as he spoke Saturday inside a remodeled rodeo arena in Woodward, a town of about 12,000 residents in northwest Oklahoma. About 9,200 tickets were sold for the event, which would be the biggest crowd for Bush since he left office in January.
Bush spoke of the bravery of injured soldiers he'd met throughout his presidency, and thanked members of the military for their service. He also thanked spectators for giving ''a retired guy something to do.''
Great comments over there. Here's a few of my favorites:
Every day we're stuck with Obummer makes President Bush 1000% better than the day before.

I certainly did my share of bitching about GWB, even though I twice voted for him.
However, on this Independence Day, I wish that GWB were President instead of BHO. BHO doesn't understand or want to understand our Founders intentions about the importance of personal liberty. GWB, on the other hand, DOES!
I'm glad to see that GWB is getting some applause today.

Obama has taken the country down in so many ways. Obama is an idiot on energy policy. He is an idiot on economics. And his health care rationing and plundering will bring medical disasters.
We all love and respect President Bush. some won't admit it how much better off we were.
