Saturday, November 11th was no only a day to celebrate Veterans throughout the nation, down in Corydon it was a day to celebrate the history of this nation and to protest our current situation.
As the Harrison County GOP reports:
Corydon played host on Saturday to a Tea Party, held on the square on the grounds of the First State Capitol.More coverage from The Corydon Democrat and The Louisville Courier-Journal. Special thanks to the Harrison County GOP and Scott Fluhr for the photo at left.
It was a beautiful day and between 550 and 600 people turned out to hear a variety of speakers talk about issues facing America, including the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the right-to-life, health care, cap-and-trade, bailouts, and other topics.
Patriot Paul, of Indianapolis Tea Party fame, read the Declaration of Independence.
Our taxes, whether it's income, sales or property; federal, state or
local, keep going up.
Yet we seem to be getting no proportional increase in services. In
fact, if you look at the core functions of government - security
through the military and police, fire, foreign policy, roads, sewers,
etc. - those services appear to be decreasing in effectiveness.
So we pay more to our government(s) yet we get less in services.
Where is the money going?
Or has the Nobel Peace Prize not only jumped the shark, it jumped
every fish and aquatic mammal at Sea World San Diego?
Kudos to Drudge Report for the fantastic headline.
As you know, I am probably the most knowledgable guy anywhere when it
comes to being rejected by girls. Obama's courtship of the
International Olympic Committee on behalf of Chicago (NOT the US) was
an utterly ridiculous use and waste of presidential prestige.
Which makes the IOC's rejection of Obama the equivalent of the guy
proposing to the girl on the scoreboard and big screen at an NFL game
- and being rejected. Multiplied by about 500.
Exit question: would Obama have gone to the same lengths to push an
Olympic bid for a city like New York, Los Angeles or Dallas, where
Obama cronies would not have directly benefitted?
