King George didn’t, and 236 years ago it changed the world as America revolted. Obama’s spokeshound David Axelrod calls present day tea parties “unhealthy”.

Axelrod is either arrogant, clueless or ignorant. Obama had the same dismissive response and shows the same tendency as Axelrod. They’re both whistling up a drain pipe. But the fact of the matter is that he’d better pay attention. Americans are rising up and will no longer stand for having their money – and futures – squandered by runaway government spending. These tea parties are no flash in the pan and are growing as well as getting organized.

As of today a search of “Tax Party USA” returns over 24 million hits. The MSM has been condescending and in the case of CNN clownish in it’s reporting of this growing revolt. Kyle-Anne Shiver at American Thinker writes:

“In all my years of watching news coverage in America, I don’t believe I have ever witnessed more condescending, amateurish, purely politicized reporting than what just transpired among the liberal MSM covering America’s Tax Day Tea Parties. The Tea Parties represented a very significant news event.

Whenever close to 300,000 middle-class Americans put their productive lives on hold on a midweek workday, make original signs with their own hands, and travel miles and miles to stand with other private citizens just to demonstrate their anger with government, in more than 300 cities from coast to coast and everywhere in between, that’s NEWS. Yet, many local newspapers – even the Boston Globe for crying out loud! – pettily refused to even cover their local protests. When every news channel – except the only one thriving on the block, Fox – finally decided to cover the events, it was with derision, mockery and elitist condescension.”

Indeed. But that’s expected of the MSM, they elected Barack Obama, by failing their constitutional duty to report about him in anything but glowing terms.

Yet they as Obama are making a grave mistake by ignoring the power of what is now over 500,000 people rising up to make their voice known.

And it’s only going to get louder. If he’s smart he’ll take a lesson from George.
