When ordinary average American citizens
gathered in 2009 to protest Obama care and a lot of other things being shoved
down their collective throats, the movement became known as The Tea Party.
People who had never in their lives been politically active, some who had never
even voted, realized just what then Presidential candidate Barack Obama meant
when he told a cheering crowd prior to the 2008 election, that we were “five
days away from fundamentally transforming America.” They decided right then and
there, they were not having any of it.
That summer, rallies sprang up all over the
nation. More people rose up not to just protest Obama care, but the attempted
hijacking and remaking of basic American values and ideals. They were tired of
seeing the country drowning in more debt, more people on welfare and food
stamps, less credibility abroad, and a president who made it a habit of going
to foreign countries and apologizing for America. During the congressional
recess that August, Americans showed up in droves at the town hall meetings of
their local Congressmen and Senators imploring them to stand up against the
administration and fight for what those people had sent them to Washington D.C
to do. It was organic, it was spontaneous, even though the mainstream media
tried their best to tell us otherwise, it was heartfelt. Nothing like it had
been seen in a long time.
The debate on whether or not the Tea Party
has had its fifteen minutes of fame and is still useful will go on, but now
there is something new. And it is being fueled by the fact that those same
ordinary citizens, the ones who felt like they had no voice for eight years for
a host of reasons, now have the muscle of both houses of Congress and the White
House behind them, and they will demand to be heard.
“Spirit of America” rallies will take place
on Feb. 27 and March 4 all over the nation. It is a non-partisan, all-inclusive
gathering. If you support President Donald Trump, if maybe Trump was not your
first choice, or you did not even vote for him but you support an America first
agenda of jobs, a strong vibrant economy, a strong military, and a secured
southern border, then this is the place for you. If you are sick and tired of
seeing radical Leftists march, protest, burn American flags, destroy property
and businesses all in the name of “love trumps hate”, this is the place to be.
We know that the media will tell you that
this is a gathering of racist, sexist, bigots, a gathering of islamaphobes,
homophobes, and every other sort of “phobe”. They will say it is just a bunch
of angry people, mostly white, finally speaking out against eight years of a
black president. They will say that we are anti-immigrant, that we don’t like
anyone who does not look like us. The media, for all of their self-perceived
intellectualness still cannot figure out this is precisely why Donald Trump got
elected. It is fun to watch, and it is fun to stick our collective finger in
their eye because once again, they got it wrong.
Find a rally near you, and celebrate the
Spirit of America.
