That looks like one heck of a tea party! Great pictures!

Actually more than 8,000 showed up. the organizers had a sign up sheet

Judging by the signs, it seems like alot of those who showed up didn't know what they were protesting. One thing they all had in common though...their race. Not a black person to be found. Seems like the one thing they were most PO'd about was Obama winning the election.

Great Photos KSG! Thank God for Texas. Good to see some people in this country are waking up.

It's funny to see a bunch of whack jobs still whining that they lost the election. This whole group has a complete lack of knowledge about the economy, taxes, and fundamentally lost when it comes to patriotism. This is the face of the anti-American force existing in our nation.

Mr. Truth:

Maybe it isn't well-represented in the photos, but there were people of every race and creed at the rally. Black people specifically were in attendance as well as speaking on the main stage. Although it was predominately a white audience, I was personally surprised at how many blacks and Hispanics turned out.

One of the protest banners depicted here reads, "I used to have a 401K and now all I have is CHANGE" -- well, tough titty said the kitty when the milk ran dry. You have only yourselves to blame for the playing field having been leveled. (What is this 401K of which you speak?)

Exactly whose watch were we under when the sub-prime mortgage debacle unraveled; credit dried up, and the chickens came home to roost? Check your newspapers' archives BEFORE the latest presidential election and you'll get some answers. Oh, that's right, you probably can't because we're down to about three newspapers serving the entire country. Thanks, FOX newz! Thanks, Rush Beck! Thanks, Halliburton! Now go pleasure yourselves as we working-class folk have had to do since the millenium change.

As to the event's "diversity," if people of every stripe were there, why not show it? I'd want to show it wasn't just a bunch of **Whiner Whiteys taking a break from day-trading or golf or -- God forbid, having to sneak their "gently used" evening wear into a consignment store in order to fund next week's Botox; you know, now that Times are Hard.

When you're covering these important free speech events, be sure to ask yourself, "What Would Shelby Do?" Shelby being the society columnist for the Houston Chron. If she'd show a non-white person, it likely would be because of a theme: "Black History Month" fashion awards and the like. So maybe you're off the hook here after all.

I hear there were thousands attending the tea party in the Whiner Whitey enclave known as the Woodlands. One woman who went said except for the fact she felt she was going to be arrested any minute she felt "safe" (a veiled reference to race).

The noble actions by the patriots in the Woodlands bringeth to mind the suffragettes' battle for the vote; the march on Selma; the Stonewall riots, Tiananmen Square. Go, Woodlands, go!!! USE the other portion of the First Amendment for once (you've about worn out the religion portion).

Stepping off soap box now.
