    (Promoted by Nick... another great one, Joanie! Way to go!)

    I arrived downtown Lansing about 8:45 am thinking I was meeting up with some other Ingham County Republicans.  As it turned out for most of my Obama counter protest, I was an Army of One.  However, an Army of One Conservative is worth a 1000 liberals!

    I parked about a block from the Lansing Center so I could walk the length of the Lansing Center holding my double-sided sign on my way to the meet up spot.

    The side showing to those lined up to see the "messiah" said, NO OBAMA Typical White Person, Will Drive an SUV, Eating as Much as I Want, Keeping My Home at 72 Degrees, Bitterly Clinging to Guns and Religion The flip side said, NO OBAMA" God Bless America, NOT God D*** America!

    For the most part, I was greeted with disgust, puzzled or shocked looks from the faithful who couldn't believe I had the nerve to exercise my Constitutional rights!

    What immediately impressed me was the lack of the "messiah's" faithful as you can see by the picture of myself in front of the Lansing Center. Despite what you will probably hear, there were maybe a thousand attendees. Not a good showing for the "Anointed One"

    On a strange side note, as I approached the Lansing Center, I saw a police cruiser on fire, completely engulfed in flames.  Hmmm over excited Osama followers?  The aura of the "messiah" himself, unable to be contained by a mere edifice?

    I took up my corner sentry by an Obama trinkets stand.  And was joined by one other patriot.  I noticed that the were NOT doing much business. One person who seemed more interested in just talking than in the "messiah's" appearance approached me. In addition, I got a very caustic passing comment from a young girl wearing a peace
    sign T-shirt "You're the only one! I reminded her that it's what happens in November that counts.

    After realizing there was not going to be a "meet up" on this corner, I decided to walk back and position myself directly in front of the entrance to the Lansing Center were I was approached and interviewed by several media outlets.  

    A young mother and her two children carrying McCain signs joined me.  Republicans in training.  Her son was approached by a media person and he was asked why he came. Out of the mouths of babes came a great quote
    "To be honest I don't know a lot about McCain but I know enough about Obama!"

    A middle-aged black woman wearing some "Obamaware"
    then approached me. I had to explain to her that my sign was a take on actually Obama quotes. I got a blank look back. Which explained the puzzled looks I received earlier and only confirms that the majority of the "messiah" followers do not know much about the person they are willing to entrust the leadership of the United State to.

    She continued, "Obama is for change and we need change." I asked her "What change?" She was fuzzy. So I asked her how Osama was going to implement this nebulous change.  Again fuzzy so she said, "Well what is McCain going to change?  I replied, "I asked you first, YOU tell me what Obama will change." Blank.  

    I then replied, "You can't say because you do not know, yet you are going to vote for someone for president and you don't even know where he stands on the issues?

    She then uttered the words that send a chill down my spine, "I am willing to take a chance"  Aghast, I answered; Well, I am NOT willing to take a chance with the leadership of America."

    So this is who will must deal with, the unconcerned, uninformed persons willing to take a chance with our country!  God help us!

    It has been said before but...Now is the time for all good <u>Conservatives</u> to come to the aid of their country!

    First pray that the Lord have mercy on America and get busy!

    You were on the 5PM news on WILX!  I remember because I was trying to read your sign and it went by too fast!

    They'll probably run a repeat later tonight.  

    Great job!

    Are there are no black Republicons that believe in SUVs and other forms of wasting energy? McSame denies using race as a way to divide people and yet here's one of his supporters making a point of it, as if that something she needs to announce to the world. Weird.

    You must be right about "One Conservative is worth a 1000 liberals" because McCain is pulling ahead.

    Hey Babe, Don't feel like the Lone Ranger.  I get so tired of all the excuses that people come up with for not doing something. You can't imagine how refreshing your action is to see.  Like the Repubs staying in session with the lights out. They could still learn a thing or two from you.   My idea of a conservative is someone willing to jump in and "Make Do, Make I Now, Make it Work"  If enough of us keep building it, they will come.

    It's a simple question of belief in your faith.
    You have it, You belive in it. You Do It. It works.

    Again great job.
    Regards, Live Dangerously Be A Conservative.  

    I should add.  Be Happy Be A Conservative, because I was after reading your article.

    The protest is on TV all over the place! (none / 0) (#13)

    VERY nice work!  Who'd have thought one person could so perfectly sum up so much and so effectively.

    . . . that once or twice you typed in "Osama" where it seems you meant "Obama."

    Now I'm all for Freudian slips, especially as amusing as this.  But I'm pretty sure that Mister Bin Laden would be mildly insulted.
