If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, you Vets ought to be flattered but it will certainly be a bad Veterans Day for this Gomer...

To all of you who have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces, thank you (and your families) for your service. I am grateful for your courage and sacrifice.
Happy Veterans Day!
Dad, I'm ever proud of you and of Mom for all you both sacrificed during your career in the Army! Thank you both for modeling a fine set of principles for us.

NY-23: Good luck, Doug Hoffman!
At the risk of beating a dead horse, good riddance to RINO Scozzafava and good luck to the only Conservative in the race tomorrow. We "teabaggers" are watching; let's hope the GOP gets the message tomorrow -- win or lose, the American Conservative Party's candidate, Doug Hoffman, has helped Conservatives make a statement. The GOP can get it or get it out of our way... this revolution will be flippin' candidates like a loose Las Vegas slot machine every election until we get this country back to Constitutional governance.
I am deeply disappointed by Newt Gingrich's endorsement of Scozzafava in the NY-23 race. I know he's stepped back away from it now but... Seriously, Newt, did you think that Republicans would remain loyal to a party that has run amok that has failed its roots? You have sorely misjudged the true Conservative base in this country and you owe us a silent exit stage left. We are absolutely sick and tired of the Washington Establishment, Political Ruliing Class Republicans telling us who's Conservative and who is not. I'll bet you we are pretty darned sure we know the difference and, right now, the GOP is not measuring up.
I hope this is a lesson to ALL of you in DC. We're mad as hell and we're not taking it anymore. Good luck tomorrow, Mr. Hoffman. Conservatives nationwide are pulling for you!! Win or lose, you're a winner in my book for standing up for Conservatism.

What do Norman Rockwell and Jesus have in common?

Not Evil Just Wrong
October 18, 2009 -- Mark your calendars for a new type of Tea Party to debut "Not Evil Just Wrong" in homes across the fruited plain!
In an email broadcast I received today from Americans for Prosperity:
In an email broadcast I received today from Americans for Prosperity:
Two courageous Irish film-makers, Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, have spent 3 years and over $1 million creating a power-packed, entertaining documentary called "Not Evil, Just Wrong" that details the real consequences of draconian global warming "solutions" – both here in the United States and across
the world.Americans for Prosperity is partnering with Ann and Phelim on a massive grassroots effort to turn the tables on our opponents. On October 18, our coalition will hold the largest premiere of any documentary in American history.
Our goal is simple: on October 18 at 8:00 PM Eastern Time literally tens-of-thousands of grassroots Americans like you and me will hold viewings of their film - Not Evil, Just Wrong - in homes, at local community events, really anywhere where even 2 or 3 Americans can be educated on this crucial issue.
FYI...
...still working on getting our pics from the 9/12 March on DC into a movie suitable for YouTube and the blog. You'll be the first to know when it's done.

T-Shirts for Patriots
When ConservaDude and I were at the Louisville Tea Party on 9/5/09, we met a couple from St. Louis, Missouri who were selling some cool t-shirts. My hubby is now the proud owner of a "Band of Patriots" shirt and I'll be calling soon to order my "Cap'n Trade" tee!
I thought I should share these with you in case you're in the market for a clever t-shirt.
[In case it's not clear enough to read on your monitor, the text below the picture reads, "Piracy...It's not just on the high seas anymore"]
[I think this one speaks quite clearly for itself!]
The t-shirts are $15.00 each. If you like what you see, you can email inquiries to them freedomladies@gmail.com or call Eileen at 636-812-2161 to order.
In case you need another good reason to buy from them, they are awaiting their non-profit status as the "Freed Ladies." When that is official, proceeds from these sales will then be sent to the USO.

Louisville Tea Party -- Sept. 5, 2009
The September 5th Tea Party in Louisville is now history. It may one day be noted in history books -- at least as long as Conservatives continue to write books, it just might be -- so I think it's important to post a few words and a lot of pictures from the Tea Party in Louisville on September 9, 2009.
The Tea Party Express made a stop in Louisville on its way from Sacramento, CA to Washington, DC to rally the patriots here. While the rally speakers and the Tea Party Express show were all fun and motivational, the TRUE show was to be found wandering the crowd. The local fishwrap did a write-up of the event and estimated the crowd at 3,000 people. Those thousands came prepared to express themselves and we caught most of it in pictures.
Note the variety of signs you see in the pictures that follow. I've often said that trying to organize Conservatives for a protest is like herding cats. We are all very independent. Every one of us has a different issue as it pertains to the current state of affairs... granted, none of us is happy with any of it but we are all focused on our own "pet" issues. And so it goes with the signs in this crowd. This is one of the reason the term "astroturf" was such a joke. Imagine! If only Conservatives could be herded in such a way -- we'd be unstoppable!
Harsh? You bet. The truth tends to be harsh.
Okay... so this was MY sign. SOMEBODY had to photograph it for posterity! Plus, the fact that this is a quote from George Orwell -- not the "welcome to the revolution" part, that's all me -- is quite prescient.
This car traveled with the Tea Party Express buses.
This sole counter-protester was quite passionate about his views and was doing his best to convert the "heathens" in the crowd. Unfortunately for him, we're a tough crowd. The Constitution says nothing about providing healthcare for the masses regardless of what Jesus wants...
The lone Lib in our midst just doesn't get it. "Death Panels" or not, it's unconstitutional. This is another of his signs.
Apparently Jesus (and the Lib) want us to have a lot of "rights" taken care of by the Federal government.
Hmmm... that's exactly what we were doing out there on Saturday afternoon. The irony is that this sign, yet again, belongs to the lone Lib in the crowd.
Ack! Spare me. Obamanomics! I admire his passion but the counter-protester was matched a thousand-fold by the passion from the crowd on the other side of this particular issue.
A great illustration of the many different Conservative issues on parade.
This nurse is also VERY tall!
So many issues, so little cardboard!
Contrary to popular belief, we "the people" are pretty danged smart, y'all!
I pity the incumbents next year -- regardless of party affiliation. We're flippin' everyone.
This one is my personal favorite. It's disgusting to Conservatives; it's apparently a non-issue to Liberals.
Believe it or not, these guys are not related.

Believe it or not, these guys are not related.These Hoosiers trekked over the bridge to stand in protest with their Kentucky cousins.
These folks are from St. Louis, MO and were selling some of the best t-shirts at the Tea Party. I will be posting pics of their t-shirts and a phone number to call if you'd like to place an order with them. I know you all will want some of these. Brilliant!
OH YEAH! Gonna have to order this one! Look for more pictures of their t-shirts.

And just when you thought Tea Parties were for grumpy old folks!
And just when you thought Tea Parties were for grumpy old folks! Conservachicks rule! Way to represent, girls.
Conservadudes rock!... especially the young'uns!
Every protest/rally has to have its rolling billboards/oddities, right?
Speaking of rolling billboards, this one was from the Florida Tea Party patriots. It has been signed by Tea Party goers from coast to coast. Yours truly and hubby had to add their signatures to this one.
My favorite quote: "I'm not an African-American. I am an AMERICAN!"

My favorite quote: "I'm not an African-American. I am an AMERICAN!" Lloyd Marcus understands what Martin Luther King, Jr. was all about!
Oh yeah. You are never too young to understand what America is all about!
Mark Williams looks a lot thinner in person. I'd seen interviews with him on Fox News and he looked quite heavy on TV. I was very surprised at how thin he actually is! If it's true that a camera adds 10 lbs., Fox News must have been using 6 cameras on this guy! (Yeah, I know. Shallow of me.)
http://www.indonesiamatters.com/2952/barry-soetoro/
Creepy... but so is the idea that the Federal government would control the well-being of every citizen...
ConservaDude's sign. It was a big hit in DC too!
Bless her heart. She just couldn't bring herself to write "Ass," I suppose. Still a great sign though.
Never more relevant.
Our neighbor, Tom. We brought him an dhis wife, Karen, with us to this Tea Party. They were quite surprised at how civil it all was. I think many people were out to protest for the first time that day.

The flag of the day. Heck, the flag of the Tea Party movement, actually!
Kenneth Gladney's folks wer ein the crowd selling these flags.
(If you remember, Gladney is the guy who was pummeled by the SEIU thug in St. Louis.)

"Protesters from Kentucky"
I have been completely remiss in my ConservaChick duties of late. I have pictures and editorial to post from the Louisville Tea Party of September 5th and from the amazing Taxpayer March on DC -- of which ConservaCouple was a part -- on 9/12. I have loads of pictures to organize and post as well as numerous video and editorial links.
Other personal priorities have relegated blogging to the bottom of the list of things that require my time and attention right now; however, guilt about this has forced me to make a quick sidetrip to the office tonight to post a quick video clip from YouTube.
Teresa McAllister is the force behind "The REAL March on DC" on YouTube. This is just one of the videos she took that day. Her videos from the March on DC are a testament to the people who came from all over the United States -- on their own dime, under their own steam -- to make their voices heard on 9/12. Thanks for your work and for making it available to everyone to see for themselves, Teresa!

VP JIM COYLE ON FOX AND FRIENDS
After Jim Coyle (LGTP VP) was featured on just about every news channel on Wednesday night and then on the front page of the Courier Journal, we both got a call from the Fox News Channel. Jim Coyle was asked to be a guest on Fox and Friends on Saturday (tomorrow).This is HUGE. I was also told by the newsroom that they will be doing LIVE updates from our Tea Party all day long. So everyone tune in tomorrow morning probably between 7:30 and 8:30. Then those of you who can't make it can tune in all day long and get live updates.
PARKING
There is the street parking on both sides of the street surrounding Central Park. (as well as all the other close streets all have parking) We also got permission to use the Cochran Elementary School parking lot. It is located on Lee Street between 4th and 5th about 3 blocks south of Central Park. There is also several businesses on 3rd street between Oak and Ormsby that are not open on Saturday. That lot is off Ormsby in an alley between 3rd and 4th behind the businesses. I hope this is helpful.
