You're wrong. God said so. Reasonable fears, relevant issues: End extremist punditry without humor In particular, I love the guy sucking down the cigarette :) I want you to engage in civil discourse We don't all lack conviction. Come get mushroom stamped Great message. ... Yeah and it still is. Join the sani-tea party: the de-caf of choice It's not scary if you have common sense Ewww ... bad mental image ;) :) People were seriously lovely that day ... for as many people as were there, for as crowded as it was ... people were very cool. Facts are not decided by how many believe them. Truth is not determined by how loudly you shout... I LOVE this one! I love these two ladies -- could they look more ... middle class and holding these two particular signs... loved it. Everyone remembers Christine O'Donnell, right? Yeah, there's a few of her Sometimes the irony wasn't in the sign, but the combination :) :) John 3:17 Make sense not fear but let's not overlook the very serious consequences of allowing certain obstinately disingenuous individuals to influence policy and culture Have you seen my keys??? Love using hyperbole ironically These were just great signs. All of these folks were together, so I thought it made a very cool collection. This is your brain on Fox News :) Does your political philosophy fit on a bumper sticker? The random costumes were great ... Halloween weekend? Make love not tea Cognitive Bias + Wrong Information = Tea Party Even art teachers are for sanity Financial Graphs at a Rally... Awesome Relax people, I think it will be ok Everyone remembers Christine O'Donnell, right? Sanity is not saying NO to everything Citation Needed as if we thought that would really happen (but how awesome would it have been?) All of the particular cause signs were interesting -- beyond the occasion, people talking about what interested them. Drink the tea! Too much ignorance, vitriol, fear Hmmmm... anyone spot the public employee? :) :) Everyone remember the arguments about "real America" during the 2008 election? We want sanity not Hannity "Balanced" often = bullshit. I'm a public school teacher. I will teach your children racial, sexual, and religious tolerance... .there were a whole gaggle of teachers there A friendly reminder: When in doubt, don't be douchey Vote no for additional insanity The multi-message sign :) Biased Entertainment Can Kill Anyone have a Momma Grizzly in the house? I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it. Outsourcing is treason Elect a real minority Beware of the dogma Hurry up, I've got shit to do. It all depends on who you hate If Obama's a Muslim, can we have Friday's off? AMEN! I just thought the two things made for a nice chuckle Can you hurry this along please Squirrel Sanity: Don't leave home without it We need more sanity The media was also well-critiqued in the signs Fox News for Sanity... just kidding Exterminate The best political ad ever... for all of the wrong reasons. I like this kid's mom :) Restore Santa I want you to stop drawing Hitler mustaches on everyone Stop bitching, start a revolution Non-bearded marxes If you noticed a few signs with grammar or spelling messages, remember to how badly some of the Tea Party signs on the media were... There were lots of these types of signs -- I liked them. The squirrel was on the fence, we stopped and were looking around... before we knew it it was on top of the fence -- we moved on. No kangaroo courts at Guantanamo Fear health care reform, remember Medicare? We're both batty and from Delaware Could they be more awesome? Repeating your point does not make your statement valid! Senator's Priorities Amnesty 4 illegals Obama is just like right handed Hitler All we are saying is give peas a chance than making Jesus a politician Health care is a right not a privilege Taxes are ok Don't have to shout to be heard How awesome is this guy? I love the paper he's holding and how it just... yeah doesn't fit his look :) Fear is the death of reason I have a sign. Please don't stomp my neck You can'ta foola me, there ain't no Santy Clause! Oh, Christine O'Donnell :) I've always wanted to make one of these Fear = Failure Be afraid, it's all going to hell Say no to trickle down economics :) Oh no -- I'm with an illegal alien Love the combination in one simple hat :) Your conspiracy theory pop-ups are blocking all the porn I don't want my country back, I want my country forward No Assholery: Because civility is what adults do Clearly a local rally attender -- love the bike and hat combo Yelling rarely works... I know, I'm a Mom What's not to love about the people who dressed up for the rally? We're all in this together Boehner, ya never looked so good A kissing booth... of course. Why did the independent sit on the fence? I will trade signs with you if we both like each others signs Will for for sanity Nationalize the federal reserve I like that :) Extreme Moderation: Homeland Edition There is nothing to fear but fear itself Jump rope with a Muslim If only everyone (liberals and conservatives) understood that!
