wingnuts

It seems that there will be a 'wingnut reunion' otherwise known a tax day tea party protest on the Plaza of the Flags in Santa Ana from noon to 2 p.m. I guess I'll have to get out the video camera and capture the Glenn Beck fans as they demonstrate how dumb and ill informed they are They will be waving their imported tea bags and protesting in a public area paid for by the taxes they protest.

What they don't understand is it isn't the taxes that are the problem, it is the 'entitlement culture' and the disparity between the wealthy and the poor that exists.

You know what really annoys me about these antics and Rush Limbaugh et al and their "We want him to fail" approach is that WE, the people elected this man so really and truly, they want ALL OF US to fail. It's demonizing and projection at best.

I watch, I'll listen, I'll take pictures. I want to see what they have to say and how far from fact they stray.

They are predicting 170 people, and for this hotbed of the radical right, that is low. The 'loyal opposition' tends to see the corruption in government unless it happens to be Republican. I did note they warned their attendees to be aware of the Santa Ana protest sign ordinance. It will be interesting.
