Grass roots outrage at 9/12 Tea Party gatherings and delusions of the Left

I went to a 9/12 rally at the Colorado State Capital today. It was great to see so many people out there exercising their right to speak out against the outrages being perpetrated by Obama and the Democrat Congress. One of the speakers said that the Founding Fathers would be proud of the people speaking out as they were at today's gathering. I agree. Early on there was a counter-protest where a bunch of wackos wearing costumes were bicycling by on Lincoln Ave. They looked like freaks. I wonder if they even knew how ridiculous they looked.

I'm watching the Fox Report now and they had a "debate" on the Tea Party rallies between GOP congressman Trent Franks and some Democrat strategist Jehmu Greene. That Greene woman was either delusional or just had no qualms about putting forth outrageous Democrat talking points. She had the gall to say that many of the 9/12 protesters were bussed in(?!?). Then went on to say that Barack Obama was willing to work with Republicans on health care reform... yeah, he's willing to work with them if they kowtow to his point of view. If they put forward any Conservative ideas they're shown the door pronto.

Thinking about how patently absurd the things Jehmu Greene was saying and how ridiculous those counter-protesters at the Capital were today made me think of a column by Patrick Buchanan from earlier in the week where he asked if America is falling apart. He might have a point. It really does seem like there are two different species almost... Right and Left don't seem to have much common ground these days.
