It was interesting, if not somewhat comical, to hear that the ACLU had recently called the local Chico Tea Party group to remind them to play nice and not disrupt Wally Herger’s meeting tomorrow on Healthcare. They explained that some Socialized Medicine supporters were going to be on hand and the ACLU rep was concerned that the Tea Party people might shout them down…or worse.
Gee, now thats a turn about! Where was the ACLU when conservatives were being shouted down and threatened by leftwing radicals at countless public meetings? Where was their call for civility when President Bush and other GOP speakers were rudely yelled and interrupted at some of our college campuses?
I get the feeling the left is really afraid of the Tea Party Patriots. How weird. Sure, they are all trained in the black arts and they do frequently carry automatic weapons… hey, hang on don’t dial 9-1-1…I’m just kidding! Seriously, these are just regular people and it’s a non-partisan group at that. They are not paid protestors or partisan thugs, these are just every day people who are fed up with the fiscal abuses in government and they are asking for more accountability…thats it. Sheesh, and the left are afraid of people who asking for accountability?
If you want to come out and express yourself, Congressman Wally Herger will be at the Neighborhood Church at 10 a.m. Wed. morning.
