Tea Party protest in DC shocks the White House

As many as two million people marched into Washington to protest Obama's policies they say are driving the US towards socialism.

Despite hundreds of similar protests held throughout the country since January, the scale of this gathering shocked the White House. It's convenient that Obama happened to be out of DC, eh?

Now, the numbers of protesters at the Tea Party varies from news source to news source. There were as little as 10,000 people there according to MSNBC, yet FOX News reported that the attendance was anywhere between 50,000-70,000 people. European press sources, however, announced that up to two million people flooded the streets of DC.

The most reliable number comes from the National Park Service, which said that this was the largest march they had ever seen on Washington (this would include the "million-man" march.)

The focus of the protesters' anger was on the reckless spending of the US government and its massive expansion, which threatens to takeover the US health care system.

Demonstrators held signs saying "I'm not your ATM" and "Pull the Plug on Obamacare."

This protest is the latest example of the ascension of the Republican party since its harsh losses in the 2006 and 2008 elections.

Now that opposition against Obama is united and growing, it is imperative for Conservatives and Independents to know that the Democrats are going to use all tactics at their disposal to ensure that Obama remains a popular president.

The most valuable tactic that they will use will be to pull the race card, which is on page 1 of the Democratic handbook.

We must stand strong in our opposition, but we must be careful of what we say and how we act. The liberal mass media will be looking for any statement from GOP politicans as well as everyday Conservatives that can be taken out of context to play the race card.

The media is united against us, and we must be united to stop Obama from advancing his socialist goals.
