I watched the Tax Day Tea Party in D.C. on C-span. Judging by the monster crowd of about 150 people, I'd have to say they are all white, middle age, slightly over weight, and they absolutely love the flag. They waved the flag at any mention of taxes. Liberty was right with taxes as far as inducing flag waving hoorahs. Mention Kenya and the patriotic crowd would erupt with an anti Obama spasm of furious flag waving. Big flags, little flags, "don't tread on me" flags, jut a flag orgy. Michelle bachman sent the flag wavers into a frantic spasm with her trademark craziness.Whenever the constitutin was mentioned, the crowd would show their flag waving prowess. Republican Dick Armey wore a cowboy hat that brought flag wavers to their feet in a scene that reminded one of America before her liberty was stripped away by big goverment, treasonist traitors. There was no mention of paying for the war in Iraq. But they did wave their flags when the troops were mentioned. A wave of patriotic fury at the mere mention of our troops over seas. It's cheap labor, a conservative favorite.
LONG LIVE THE TEA PARTY
Covers Classic. 
Highly doubt that is the reason...unlike of course you think that whites staying away from a protest rally in Harlem don't attend because they don't want to be considered "race traitors."
So you are saying not one person of color doesn't support this...really.....not a single one.
I stand by my statement.

LONG LIVE THE TEA PARTY
If the Tea Party folks (or anyone for that matter) are gonna make change of any sort, flag waving isn't gonna cut it. I'm American, served in the Navy, did some time in law enforcement and love the freedoms I have in this country. However, I'm not a big fan of the flag - it's simply a symbol. Somebody waving a flag does nothing to influence me to agree with their views, follow their ways, or anything else. It does not make me feel patriotic to see it being waved around.
Actions dealing with positive change are something to feel patriotic about. Getting our country, government, citizens, & spending straight, is something to feel patriotic about.
Stop waving a fucking flag people - wake up and start making changes.
