The media did their best to ignored the massive Tea Party rally in Washington DC.  I have lived in the DC area on and off for 20 years and I know what a million people in the mall look like.  Based on the photos and video clips, I would say at least a million people or more attended the rally. This makes it one of the largest protest rallies in American history.

It is outrageous to read how the mainstream media played this event down by describing the attendees as being "on the fringe" and claiming the crowd was in the "tens of thousands."  That's ridiculous and it is further evidence that the media is in the tank for Obama.  I hope this media bias will only anger people more.  We also must remember that there were perhaps another million protesters attending around 2000 smaller Tea Parties all over the country.  I spoke at one in my home town.  If you add those protesters, then we're talking about surpassing the two million mark. Never before have so many people protested a sitting United States president.

The charge I now reading about is that it's all about race.  Come on.  It's about socialism. It's about government takeover. About fiscal irresponsibility.  Obama has spent more than all U.S. Presidents combined and the media wants people to believe we're mad because he's black?  Give me a break.  If Obama was white, it would be no different.  He is wrecking America because he was indoctrinated with socialist ideology while growing up, while in college, and while a "community organizer."  He either doesn't believe in the free market or doesn't understand it.  He's never worked a real private job in his life.  He's is perhaps the most unqualified man in American history to serve as President.  It is clear that this race mongering by the mainstream media is an attempt to marginalize those who want to save America.  Here's what we're mad about:

• According to last week's data from the Obama Administration’s Office of Management and Budget, this year, Washington will spend $30,958 per household, tax $17,576 per household, and borrow $13,392 per household.
• The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that under the President's current budget, there will be $9 trillion added in deficits over the next 10 years.
• The federal government now spends 30 cents for every dollar earned by taxpaying Americans. The Federal spending as a percentage of GDP is currently 50% higher than its average over the past fifty years.
• The Obama debt burden would be approximately $47,000 for each American and $90,000 for each of the 160 million working taxpayers.
• The CBO estimates a $1.60 trillion deficit for 2009, nearly four times that of 2008.
• Previous spending projects, such as the February 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the president’s “stimulus” package) have yielded economic deterioration rather than recovery. When the $787 billion recovery stimulus was passed, the President's economic advisors assured Americans that if the stimulus passed, unemployment would not rise above 8%. As of July 2009, the national rate is at 9.4% -- despite the assertion of the government experts.
• Much of this new federal deficit spending has been spent on pork projects, such as $16.1 million project to protect endangered species of mice in the San Francisco Bay, $3 million for tunnels for turtles to pass under a highway in Florida, $219,000 to study the sexual habits of college students at Syracuse University, $2.2 million to water a golf course in Northern California, and $1.6 million for water taxis in Baltimore.
  
• This irresponsible behavior can produce palpable negative consequences as the debt lowers the value of the dollar and raises interest rates, thus making investment harder and killing jobs.
• Excessive spending will tempt members of Congress to raise taxes, print money, or do both. Doing the first will kill jobs, and doing the latter will likely cause inflation and lower the wealth of Americans.

The Tea Party movement needs to keep growing and those who participated need to become active in the Republican Party.  I'm not saying the GOP is perfect, but if we splinter ourselves among dozens of smaller political parties, the Democrats will continue to dominate.  Conservatives and patriots need to flood into the Republican Party and make it a real conservative political party. Congressional primaries are coming up in less than a year; we all need to make sure conservatives are recruited to run all over the country and make sure they win the Republican Party primaries.   If we can win 37 seats from the Democrats, we can shut down his agenda by using control of the House of Representatives to cut off funding for his wacky programs.
