“How come,” I asked Andy, “whenever someone upsets the Left, you see immediate marches and parades and rallies with signs already printed and rhyming slogans already composed, whereas whenever someone upsets the Right, you see two members of the Young Americans for Freedom waving a six-inch American Flag?”
“We have jobs.” said Andy.

Which tells you two things:
- It’s in the Left’s best interests to keep the unemployment rate down… oops.
- Don’t let the time that elapses between the emergency session to pass a bill and the leisurely signing of it four days later include a national holiday. People get those off.
Via Little Miss Atilla - sorry, no CPAC again for me this year - we’re told that there are actually going to be protests against this monstrosity of a Democratic debt bill tomorrow in both Denver and Seattle. Check out Michelle Malkin and Redistributing Knowledge for further details. Will it be large? Don’t know. Will it be mocked? Almost certainly, as only people who know that you have to squash populist resentment quick before it breeds can do it. Will it be worth it? Yes. Will you be there, or do something of your own down the line?
Well… that’s up to you, isn’t it?

Why <i>aren't</i> there protests in every major city in the US?
johnCV Sunday, February 15th at 10:54PM EST (link)O’Rourke is one of my favorite authors, but screw the job - I will bring at least 5 people to a protest within 4 hours of my home (central VA). I would travel even further if need be.
Surely I am not alone in looking for a visible way to flip the bird to the plastic jesus and his evil minions in the White House.
So, you have six people, then. :)

smitch61 Sunday, February 15th at 11:07PM EST (link)I would be there if I lived there….. Got to do something for gosh sakes… I am doing my part though, I was laid off 4 weeks ago and start another job tomorrow. I know I was fortunate, but at least I am doing my part to keep the unemployment from rising.. Cannot give the left any amunition.
