St. Louis Tea Party: Great Crowd on Thanksgiving Weekend!

... and bee-YOOOO-tee-ful weather to boot!  One could not have asked for a more perfect day: sunny and 65 degrees with a cloudless, blue sky.  It was as if this tea party protest were supposed to happen given the previous days' gloomy, cold weather and this coming week's similar gloominess.

My fellow racist, swastika-carrying, astroturf of a mother and I headed downtown to Kiener Plaza donning our T.E.A. caps ("Taxed Enough Already") and tea party shirts.  We brought along our fascist flag-colored camp chairs and American and Gadsen flags.  The day was so lovely, we also brought along our lunch to enjoy outdoors on the beautiful plaza.

I hate to disappoint the race-baiters, but I saw NO questionable persons or signs.  The crowd was calm, obviously enjoying the weather and event, with a few folks debating and discussing the current shenanigans of the Obama administration.


There was a terrific line-up of speakers:  
• Dana Loesch

• Jim Hoft of GatewayPundit (check out his report on the event -- my camera was not working properly, so I only have these two photos to post.  Jim's site has more)

• Stephanie Rubach (nurse of 20 years' experience)

• Jay Steward - local conservative activist (one of my favorite speakers of the day!)

• Dave MacArthur of St. Louis' beloved MacArthur's Bakery

• Gina Loudon - of "buycott" fame

• Mike Carey of ACARE (American Council for Affordable and Reliable Energy)

• Bill Hennessy, founder and organizer of The St. Louis Tea Party Coalition

... and the hero of the day: James O'Keefe - the young video journalist who broke open the ACORN scandal with his partner Hannah Giles

GatewayPundit reports that there were some 4,000 people there!  That's an impressive number, especially when considering it was a major holiday weekend.

Just doin' my part to keep the pressure on Congress and the President!
