The American Tea Party

So I was not the only one that considered Americans would again resort to their old ways of handling things. I suppose today people will say that as Americans take to the streets in protest to revolt against the high taxation on our hard earned money, to all the bailouts which will take money from our hard earned paychecks, to all the changes being made that are whittling away at our freedoms, that we are just trouble makers. It is okay for the liberals to get out there and protest against the war, against trying to save our freedoms, against conservative values but for us to stand up for what we believe in and what our founding fathers thought good enough to fight for, that may not be to the liberals liking. So, I am ready to hear the crying out from the media that these soon to be held tea parties around the U.S. are nothing but trouble makers. I guess then that John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and all the others were trouble makers. Maybe so, to the King but to us they were our heroes. They were what made America, America. So, what's wrong with standing up with them once again and fighting for what they started over 200 years ago? I see nothing wrong with fighting for the principles that founded this nation. I see no reason not to get out there and wave a flag, hold a sign and tell the rest of the nation we believe in We the People of these United States and we do firmly believe in all of our freedoms set forth in our Constitution. Is this not what patriotism is all about?
