Two Rallies, Two Different Worlds


"A Few Socialists Marching Together..." is what they should have called Saturday’s march on DC. The Marooned in Marin blog has quite a few pictures. Be sure to look at the comments, too.

A very interesting “rally,” and one that makes stark contrast to the Tea Party rallies in DC over the past year and a half. Consider:

Tea Party activists ALL came at their own expense; these were all bussed in by the organizers
Tea Party activists made and carried their own signs; many of these carried union-made signs
Tea Party activists bought their own food, which local establishments appreciated; these were given boxed lunches
Tea Party activists wore what they wanted; these wore union-supplied T-shirts
Tea Party activists were organized by thousands of local groups and hosted by a few national organizations; these were organized by about 200 radical left-wing groups and labor unions.

And most noticeably:

Tea Party activists packed out every single piece of trash they generated; these left it for others to deal with, including even those free box lunches.

Nothing the left has done since 2008 could have drawn the distinction between the ordinary hard-working Americans who make up the Liberty movement and the freeloaders who want something for nothing—and want to remake America to get it.
