Operation American Spring Sprung a Leak Over The Weekend

Benghazi. Obamacare. Gun grabbing. These are just a few reasons grassroots activists on the right gave in a rally cry to all the anti-Obama supporters who want to impeach the POTUS for violating the Constitution. For weeks, at conservative sites, Teabaggers were preparing to move en masse to Washington D.C. to stand up to the oppressive regime, with more than 30 million angry, mostly white males, to Washington D.C. with nearly 1/10 of the U.S. population…well, only 1/10,000,000 or 30 people showed up…to quote Homer Simpson: D’oh!

So what went wrong? Even with all the free advertising and mentions on the radio and T.V., as well as the right winged media pundits rehashing all the lies and stupidity, where were the people? One rumor floating around the Interweb was the Obama Administration was going to confiscate their guns if they left their home for the protest. Other rumors were, this was just a test run. My theory is that there aren’t that many teabaggers out there and news organizations just blow the news like this all out of proportion.

in the past invested in the American worker and now, as Billionaire Republicans, don't need us anymore.

Invest in them when you need them; throw them away when you don't. It's how the elite operates.

Free bus rides by Koch were the reason there were such big rallies. Now the Kochs are blowing their money on political ads.

Although their are some very loud-mouthed idiots in this country, thankfully, there are not that many of them.

The real problem is that there are far too many lemmings in this country who follow, with precision, the hateful rhetoric spewed by the likes of Fixed Noise, Glen BecKKK, and the Fat Pharmacist. It is only when this mass of lemmings get stirred up, that real trouble starts.

On a much brighter note, there are more people of intellect who know better than to listen to lies, exaggerations, and propaganda. That is why Democrats always win nationwide elections. Common sense prevails. But just like the case with people seeing, or being abducted by, space aliens, the lame stream media always hunts out the looniest of the loony............chickbillies wearing a moo-moo with their hair up in curlers, to present to the masses. People with common sense and intelligence seldom get tell their stories on national media.
