Questions for you
1. I am not sure of the sample interviews in the clips are symbolic of the feelings of those in the conserv and tea party movement (they are most of the participants). However, some say that these opinions are the majority opinions of the event. What are your thoughts?
2. After reviewing literature about the event, it was extremely vauge what the agenda was. The literature was very-religious and so was the content of the speeches. I am sure they wanted to restore America. However, there were no specific speeches, seminars and presentations of how they felt America was broken or a strategy of ways to mobilize and fix it. I felt like I was in a gigantic old southern camp meeting/tent revival meeting. Plz enlighten me if you see this differently!
3. The people at the meeting seemed extremely nice and extremely gracious. As a Black guy, I did not feel a target or uncomfortable at all. However, I have to be honest it was a weird and very different environment. Everyone were equal in their hatred of Barak Obama. They all talked as if Jesus was going to comeback tomorrow if Barak didn't get out of office. They all further seemed to idolize (make idol gods) out of our American monuments. (Yes I believe that they should be HIGHLY respected. However, it seems to have gone beyond that). I saw one lady drink from the pool near the washington Memorial. (She had a very religious experience).
4. LISTEN I AM NOT A TEA PARTIER. I AM A Black GUY FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN! I have lived on the East coast and in Maryland all of my life. This is the first time I have seen so many white people with strange southern accents and stereotypical southern....style (overalls, American flag collared shirts, straw hats with red hankerchiefs, redneck pride attire and etc). I am really trying to understand this experience from another perspective.
