We had an Outstanding crowd - local news is reporting the turn out was in the 1000’s. I am proud to be from Greenville, SC. Last night, I saw history in the making. This was the first time in the my life I ever protested for something but it will not be my last time. In just five days, Greenville turns out thousands, we can make a difference.

I had a great time for this great cause. My son and I attended and I got to finally introduce him to Russ Castle, my buddy at WORD Radio. It was the bonding of true Americans.

The rally was a success as the thousands sent a message to Washington for their over boated spending sprees. This was a symbolic tea party and no we didn’t spend a lot of money on tea. Americans who work hard for their freedom needed to send this message and anyone that feels this was silly most likely has their hand out. We will no longer sit back and watch as a socialist government steals from the hard working man to pay for the dead beats wanting dependence on their government who by the way is the taxpayers. Hope and change? I hope we still have change for a buck after the smoke clears. Obama, this is America, not the USSA. God Bless the true Americans

It made me proud to. I’ve spent most of my life here, but i’ve been around the world. Greenville is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and a bastion of what the forefathers envisioned in the Constitution. But its fading quickly. We are being overrun by liberals from the places they have already destroyed.

South Carolina has always been a bit of a rebellious state. In fact, they dumped tea in the Charleston harbor in support for the men in Boston during the real Tea Party. Remember Ft. Sumter :-)We already had enough of the Lincoln way of government a long long time ago. We have produced great warriors of tyranny like Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion and Andrew Jackson. (North Carolinians also claim Jackson because it was a frontier border where he was born. Jackson claimed he was born in a cabin in South Carolina)

While i abhor the idea of slavery (we are paying for the sins of our fathers), I often wonder how the Confederacy would have compared to the Union. A large part of the South has managed to retain the independence and spirit that men like Madison and Jefferson and Adams and Hamilton understood. Liberty.

Our standard is the Word of God and the US Constitution. The Founders fought for liberty...let us follow in their example.

These pictures make me well up with pride.

I think I heard it here:

Well, I don’t plan on living in Downtown Greenville. Sure, there are some liberals there, but overall, it’s still a great town.
