My wife, son, and I decided to attend the Tea Party at Clear Lake Park in Nassau Bay with the intention of showing solidarity with fellow Republicans. There were many people in the crowd I’m sure who like us, feel as though Republicans represent a rational, logical choice that opposes big government and can provide reasonable and realistic alternatives. To our chagrin, a large part of the crowd represented the dissenters who not only oppose the democratic agenda but the Republican platform that most claim to be a part of. We were in all reality met with a libertarian rally of secessionists with rebel flags, anarchists who exalt the cry of, “Who is John Galt”; and the Campaign for Liberty shirts and homemade signs claiming they are bearers of the Constitutional truths. Speaker after speaker railed against the federal government using a rhetoric that was bordering on inciting rebellion until the grand master of all libertarian rhetoric Ron Paul responded to the crowd with chants of, “end the Fed and bring back the Gold Standard”. We’d had enough by this point.
WTF????
