As stated last night, I did go to the Dallas Tea Party.
Didn’t really stay all that long, though – and 25% of the time I was there was spent working on a meatball sub from Subway.
In fact, if you want a more comprehensive (not much more, but he’s at least got multimedia) idea of some of the happenings, go visit His Randomness™ over at Random Numbers.
For my part, I was pleased with the crowd and their enthusiasm.  And the couple of speakers I heard were okay.  Not awe-inspiring, but they didn’t embarrass themselves, either.
My only problem with the whole soirée was the emcee – Mark Davis, who can be heard on WBAP AM 820 weekdays from 8:30 – 11:00 and has a blog here.
Mark Davis, in my view, is not the conservative he claims to be.  He’s way too damned cordial to B. HUSSEIN!!!  Obambi and the absolute fools  who voted for him (be they black, white or polka dot) for my tastes:
Q: But how do you square that with the fact that this is not a presidency you wanted to see happen?
A: I’m sure I will spend ample time opposing various Obama administration initiatives. But I know tomorrow that I will see the faces of black people of a certain age who were not allowed to drink from the same water fountains that my parents did. While Barack Obama is not descended from slaves, his wife is. Her ancestors were chattel in the country she will now serve as First Lady. Only the coldest heart is unmoved by this.
Guess I’ve a cold-assed heart, then.  Because I am most certainly not  moved by any socialist’s ascendancy to the residence at 1600 Pennsylvania – I don’t give a royal shit what  color he is.  And add to that the circumstances surrounding the integrity of the election, plus  the fact that Jugears McHopenchange still  hasn’t proven his Constitutional fitness for the office, and the only thing it all moves me to do is retch.
Davis called this “indeed further evidence of the greatness and goodness that is America.”  I call it evidence that America’s been dumbed down to the point of damnfoolishness.
In addition to that, Davis isn’t as pro-life as he claims to be – if you listened to him during the Terri Schaivo outrage, you found out that he came down on the side of Mikey Shitstain when it came to the Republicans in Congress attempting to save Terri’s life.
If that’s  conservatism, make me a liberal.  If there was ever a time for an American congress to work to save the life of an American citizen, it was then.  If there was ever a time for Davis to be on the side of life, it was then – and he wussed out.
So anyway – it’s bad enough that the Tea Party had to put up with him as emcee.  Now plan on having a pair of long-lasting earmuffs – because Davis flat-out doesn’t know when to shut up.  Once he gets started, it’s tangent after tangent after aside after aside after…well, you get the idea.
But the Tea Parties themselves were extremely enjoyable.  Crunchie over at the Rott has a recap, as does the beautiful & talented Michelle and the aforementioned Random fella.
Now for the next step.  Where do we go from here?
