"If ever a time should come when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of it's experienced Patriots to prevent it's ruin."
-Samuel Adams

Tomorrow marks the day that many frustrated Americans will come together and protest the current administration's out-of-control spending.

I plan on attending the Tea Party downtown Houston, along with my "meh" husband and my very excited great dane (she'll be sporting the latest in protest fashion).
Bryan is 'whatever' these days. Although he vocally supported Ron Paul, the guy who proposed abolishing the IRS, Bryan ended up voting for Obama. Which I actually understood to a degree. As young, conservative Americans, we were frustrated with some of Bush's policies and spending, and the opposite of Bush seemed like a decent alternative.

And although I support our current President and had truly hoped for success from his administration, 4 months into his Presidency I am growing weary. It's a similar feeling to the one I get when I order something different off the Taco Bell menu, as opposed to my usual nachobellgrandechickensofttacosideofcourcream order.

Racking up a deficit that is more than the previous 110 Congresses and 43 Presidents combined??? Not even me and 10 of my closest friends could do that on one of our fabulous vacations. And believe me, we've tried.

Unfortunately, the Tea Parties aren't being taken as seriously as they would have been a year ago. But then again, the spending wasn't quite this bad. Liberals will see this as "those crazy right-wingers", and the media will no doubt highlight the extremists that show up. You know the guy... bald, wearing a shirt that says "NObama", totin' a rifle and a Confederate flag tattoo. Frankly, I don't want to be lumped into that category. You're either an NRA-card-carrying right-winger, or you're a Birkenstock-wearing Nancy Pelosi. Ewww, I wouldn't want to see her in sandals. I bet her feet are nasty.

But then there's this HUGE in-between! Sort of like the gap I had on my chest before I got implants. thank you, I'll be here all night.

So bring on the teabagging! Wait... what?
