I am not sure what the media is reporting, but we had a lively TEA Party in both Chino and Chino Hills California. There was a surprising turnout of the middle of a Wednesday. No doubt the current double-digit unemployment rate helped to provide a number of folks who might have otherwise been engaged. I was joined at the event by my Eldest son Skyler (pictured here). Today’s events provided him a sampling of how the masses react when their so-called leadership goes awry. I am a big believer in "teachable moments" and he received an object lesson today regarding the limits of the endurance of the oppressed as described in the quote below.
Find out just what the people will submit to and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
— Frederick Douglass, civil rights activist, Aug. 4, 1857
