Welcome to the First Coast Tea Party
Occupying Des Moines, Iowa
On the morning of the last day of 2011 Ted, Lu and Patty set out in their rental car to find persons of interest in Des Moines, Iowa.
After getting lost several times, we finally arrived at Java Joe's Coffee House, where the day before "Occupiers" made a scene and were thrown out by the owner of the business, named Amy and a police escort. We were hoping that perhaps today would offer similar excitement and colorful customers. However, today all was calm and orderly. We waited for sometime to speak with the owner who didn't have much to say about the day before, but did speak with us about his experiences with Iowa caucuses through the years and various candidates he had met. He mentioned in particular that Michele Bachman seemed to him to be a truly conservative woman of integrity. Before long he had to leave to go serve coffee at the Convention Center.
So, we were again on the street looking for our next adventure. Someone had mentioned to Ted that the "Occupiers" were probably hanging out near 14th street. So we drove down East Locust Street, looking at the beautiful Capitol building. Luckily we spotted a store front with signs, pictures, etc plastered all over the front windows and several people gathered outside the building. So we found a place to park, got out I phone and set off to be the "media"- putting the microphone back into the hands of the people- giving them a voice.
We interviewed at length two women who were passionate about their movement and had many ideas that they wanted to share. We took videos and stills, looked around inside the building, spoke to several others who joined in, and picked up literature they gave us.
The hours passed quickly and it was time for the three grossly amateur media street reporters to find their way back to home base - first mission accomplished.
Enjoy the interview. We did.

Anarchists throwing word bombs was a play on the stereotype of bomb throwing anarchists.
Sometimes I fancy myself a writer. Not!
I wouldn't worry about viewing the deleted video. The occupy crowd has had more than their share of 15 minutes of fame. I've seen the ignorance, the filth, the profanity, the trashing of small businesses, and the inane comparisons to the Tea Party.
Who needs a rerun of all that?

I don't blame you for not giving personal information over Internet, but realistically your personal information was probably compromised a long time ago.
Using the right tools, I can find out almost anything about anybody. That I do not choose to do so is because I respect people's privacy.

Juan,
I didn't call you a troll, in fact, I mentioned no names at all. My comment was intended only for those who exhibit that type of behavior. They know who they are.
By the way, you never answered my question that I asked some time ago. Do you live in Hialeah and are you a member of a Miami Tea Party group? Just curious.

Roma and Tom beat me to it (Billie is a "she").
I totally agree that the Tea Party should be open to free thinkers. However, there are some anarchists who lurk in some of these forums just for the purpose of throwing word bombs at others, then sit back and watch their reaction.
Here's an interesting exercise. Define who or what a "free thinker" is. Careful, you might not like the answers you may get.

the lib-progs main goal has always been to put as many voter registration cards as possible in the hands of people who have no clue that America is a liberty based free market representative republic and if we don't unite in the next election you can bet we will get four more years of robbing us and his scarey men

Concur with Lee Phillips. Repost it. Although, as he says, the video is probably redundant inasmuch as we already know the Occupiers are completely brainwashed by the Nothing But Communists (NBC) network, The Communist News Network (CNN) and the rest of the parrots of the biggie media, not to mention the liberal elitist professors (who would actually produce something IF THEY COULD, but since they can't, they "teach" or is it "indoctrinate?" I think it's the latter.

"This video has been removed by the user."
Why?
Please repost it so those of us who haven't seen it can reinforce our already negative opinion of people whose minds have been seduced by leftist propaganda.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??
If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets. It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
