Everett Parade and TEA
A great day and a great way to celebrate the founding of our great nation!
I joined the TEA party folks in their march
But we had many other great groups in this parade too. The First Cav, The Everett Aquasoxs, and the US Marines just to name a few.
We got a great reaction from the crowd
Some in the crowd even brought their own TEA Party signs
And now the judging stand. How did we do?
So here is a collection of sights from the rest of the parade
More parade photos on my Flickr
The TEA Party was held at the Courthouse
with speeches and music and great people and ideals and a love of freedom and the understanding that all can and will be lost without due diligence.
Lets not lose what we have inherited from the sacrifice of so many. Lets fight to save liberty and remember, As long as there is freedom anywhere there is hope everywhere.
more photos on Flickr and videos to follow.

“I am apt to believe that this day will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.”
John Adams

Not your best ideal
Time travelers Biff and Cal thought their new disguises would be the perfect way to observe the past without being detected until someone at the army live fire training range thought adding surplus robots to the tanks would add a bit more realism to the exercise.
Ouch
The headline really caught my attention but the one line preview on Diggs says it best.
Man tries to circumcise himself using nail clippers.
telegraph— A man who gave himself a DIY circumcision using nail clippers was taken to hospital for emergency treatment.

A horrific Crime, Why no Outcry?
The Crime
A white man holding a directorship at a very prominent University raped his 5 year old adopted minority child and offered up this child to other pedophiles. He used the screen name “Perv Dad for fun” that caught the eye of the FBI.
Why no outcry?
The University is Duke, Famous for the Rape case that cost the career of the Durham County DA Mike Nifong. The Man is the associate director of Duke's Center for Health Policy, An Aids researcher, and adoptive gay father of two young boys. The reports says that he took steps to hide his activity from his partner but, as in most similar cases with straight couples, to hide abuse like this a bit of willful ignorance is required.
Here we have a man who is respected, trusted, and held up as an upstanding member of the community (note I did not use the word “gay”) yet the media reports on who gets to be executor of the Jackson estate.

Obama marked Down
At Big Lots,
I saw this over the weekend but It wasn’t till It was posted on Knowledge is Power that I decided to go and take a picture of the Display, turns out that they had removed the Display. When I ask about the Obama Plates some older lady asked me why in a way that made me laugh and it was all I could do to keep from falling on the floor kicking and wailing.
The store had taken the display down but they still had them in the back, I could not ask her to get me one without buying it, so when I brought it home I took a few pictures then I had some fun with it :)>

Children of Pride
The Seattle Gay Pride celebrations are this weekend so I don’t mind Macy’s doing a window to acknowledge this,
what I did mind was the children in the displays.
You can make up your own mind what that makes me.
Updates: I’ve discovered this had been brought up before, Macy’s pulled the display in another city but later apologized for doing so. They called it a mistake.
I am not really sure how the Gay Pride events are scheduled so I changed the first line of my post to reflect a weekend event rather than a one day event.
It's Not About Choice

Somewhere: Jewel makes the Angels jealous
Today I brought Jewel’s new Lullaby CD. It is a magical collection, nothing less than spectacular. I’ve already included the video for Raven here. Also on this CD is her cover of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, a beautiful song wonderfully performed. Here is a YouTube clip of her 1995 performance from the TNT special "The Wizard of Oz in Concert: Dreams Come True”. If you’ve never seen it prepare to be blown away…
Just a note: The woman at the start of this video is Lucie Arnaz

Anti-Israel Protest: Nobody Showed up
Maybe it was just that there was too much going on, but this week only one person showed up to protest Israel. She left after only 30 minutes but we did have a nice friendly chat, I’ve stood across from her at both these events and at many anti-war protests, She is a part of the “Everett Peace Action” group that faces off with the “Evergreen Troop Support Group” Every Friday.
file photos
What we had instead was a different kind of confrontation.
Where two very different messages where being presented by two groups who both warn of coming judgment. One offers hope for all, and the other only for the few who were lucky enough to be born into the right “nationhood”..
Both message were drowned out however in the chaos.
Note: Video is unedited and includes harsh language and racial hatred.
Ronald Drives an Element

F*** Back
The Left likes to parade on the High Ground when it come to defending women, but only if you tow the line. We have the story of Carrie Prejean who gave a political statement (one held by most American, and so proven by many elections) that did not fit into the left’s mold. For that she was call a B*tch and later a **nt. The feminist did not defend her, the best they could do was say they stand for fairness but Carrie doesn’t.
Now Playboy has a list of conservative woman who they “disagree with” but would like to “sleep with” the article title use the words “Hate F*ck”. Do we have feminist standing up to defend the woman on this rape hit list? The best we got was “Well not everybody on this list belongs there.” By the way, Playboy pulled the story from the net, quickly.
So now for the list of liberal woman I’d like to… meet.
Arianna Huffington I liked her when she used to be a conservative. She turned (returned I later learned) left after her rich conservative husband past away.
Jane Hamsher of Firedoglake .Seen her on TV a couple of times, thought she was cute.
Ana Marie Cox from wonkkett. I thought she was hot from day 1, not so much now.

Health Care pro-con
Today in Seattle two side of the health care debate met at Westlake Center. One side was grass roots the other side was union organized, with people being bused in from faraway places like Canada and Oregon, and well funded.
Of course I came to make my stand in defense of Israel
But the “anti-government imposed health care” people began arriving around 12:30 so I had to jump around a bit.
I of course had the Street preachers to hang out with too,
These guys however do not preach the Truth.
Speaking of a false truth, A Truther showed up.
The anti-Israel people left around 3, about the same time the Marchers arrived, so I took a few more photos, changed flags, and joined in the fun.
And now, the march…
And the Other Side…
Then the aftermath
That’s it for today. Sorry I didn’t make a movie, but Rodger did and I might link to it when he puts it up. And there are lots of pictures on Flickr.
Update: Liberty Belle was the girl who put all this together. She deserves a big hooray!!!
She has a movie up (not Rodger's)

TEA in Monroe
Earlier this afternoon I got an e-mail and after a quick drive down Highway 2 I found myself at this great event.
Seeds of Liberty is the grass roots group behind these successful events in Monroe, this was the first I was able to attend.
Unlike the anti-war protest I go to I didn’t have the only American Flag.
The theme was the 10th amendment…
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Why is the 10th Amendment so important? “Liberty is the space into which governments grow.”
Now it’s time for a few of my favorite shots, remember more photos can be found on Flickr.
