American Spring Spotted on It's Way Into Washington!!!

Its bigger than we feared!

To all the teabaggers complaining about the weather in DC today, 2 words:
VALLEY FORGE!

Check out west in the grasslands. Maybe they changed their minds and went west.

Just won he Spelling Tea!

at least we know where our missing posters are

Had it not been for this thread I would be completely oblivious to "American Spring." Can you give a bit more information for us non Americans please. I take it it was a flop.

Last year, it was the same thing, except, that time, it was motorcycles or trucks or something. Same result. This time, these people were going to show up, 30 million strong, to oust Obama and the congress.

Don't feel bad, I had no idea when I first checked this thread out either, if I knew it last year, I done forgot I knew it.

Thanks, edgar

Echo Rev, how many people did turn up?

Only a handful. One was seen on TV shouting, paraphrasing, "Where are you? We gave out notices a month ago."

So in case you haven’t already heard, the last day of the Obama administration was supposed to be Friday. Well, according to the latest group of bat-****-crazy ‘patriots’ anyway. Apparently a group of 10-30 Million militia members were set to take over Washington D.C. ready to stage a coup. They called the effort “Operation American Spring.”

Now, interestingly enough, the leader of the movement, retired Army Colonel Harry Riley, actually told his followers that they should not show up in D.C. with their weapons and ammo. He literally gave them all “Rules of Engagement” and listed at number one, No Guns, No Ammo. Instead, he told them all to show up with their bibles and constitutions. (Yes, Seriously.) Because when you really want to overthrow the United States government, you can really never underestimate the power of a menacing stink-eye combined with a bible thrust into the air. Duh.




Anyway, shockingly those 30 million patriots didn’t quite make it to the capitol Friday. I would say there were more like 30 of them. To tell you the truth, after looking at all of the pictures from the event, I’m trying to decide if I’m looking at a minuscule turnout in DC for the #OperationAmericanSpring….or just a few old guys who work at Cracker Barrel out for their smoke break.

But even though American Spring was a total bust, something awesome still managed to come out of it. By Friday night, the Liberals had taken to Twitter and made the hashtag “American Spring Excuses” trend, with some hilarious mocking of the flopped coup attempt.

I thought the same thing, been fairly civil of late.

They said they were going to come here packing heat. Tell him about the guns and beer!
