We're all in this together as if we thought that would really happen (but how awesome would it have been?) I have a sign. Please don't stomp my neck Fear is the death of reason A friendly reminder: When in doubt, don't be douchey Will for for sanity I've always wanted to make one of these Great message. Sometimes the irony wasn't in the sign, but the combination :) :) It's not scary if you have common sense :) People were seriously lovely that day ... for as many people as were there, for as crowded as it was ... people were very cool. It all depends on who you hate Come get mushroom stamped You can'ta foola me, there ain't no Santy Clause! Be afraid, it's all going to hell Financial Graphs at a Rally... Awesome The media was also well-critiqued in the signs All we are saying is give peas a chance Everyone remember the arguments about "real America" during the 2008 election? Everyone remembers Christine O'Donnell, right? Yeah, there's a few of her 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 kissing booth... of course. I'm right. You're wrong. God said so. In particular, I love the guy sucking down the cigarette :) The multi-message sign :) Reasonable fears, relevant issues: End extremist punditry without humor Hurry up, I've got shit to do. If Obama's a Muslim, can we have Friday's off? Extreme Moderation: Homeland Edition Relax people, I think it will be ok but let's not overlook the very serious consequences of allowing certain obstinately disingenuous individuals to influence policy and culture Restore Santa All of the particular cause signs were interesting -- beyond the occasion, people talking about what interested them. Ewww ... bad mental image ;) Make sense not fear Outsourcing is treason Biased Entertainment Can Kill Sanity: Don't leave home without it Anyone have a Momma Grizzly in the house? Repeating your point does not make your statement valid! Love the combination in one simple hat :) 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. Fear health care reform, remember Medicare? There is nothing to fear but fear itself Fear = Failure Join the sani-tea party: the de-caf of choice Sanity is not saying NO to everything We need more sanity Beware of the dogma Drink the tea! I don't want my country back, I want my country forward Say no to trickle down economics :) We want sanity not Hannity What's not to love about the people who dressed up for the rally? Too much ignorance, vitriol, fear Squirrel These were just great signs. All of these folks were together, so I thought it made a very cool collection. I like that :) If only everyone (liberals and conservatives) understood that! Taxes are ok than making Jesus a politician Jump rope with a Muslim Does your political philosophy fit on a bumper sticker? Nationalize the federal reserve ... Yeah and it still is. Oh, Christine O'Donnell :) 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... Make love not tea I like this kid's mom :) I just thought the two things made for a nice chuckle There were lots of these types of signs -- I liked them. How awesome is this guy? I love the paper he's holding and how it just... yeah doesn't fit his look :) Oh no -- I'm with an illegal alien Could they be more awesome? I want you to engage in civil discourse This is your brain on Fox News :) Obama is just like right handed Hitler No kangaroo courts at Guantanamo John 3:17 Clearly a local rally attender -- love the bike and hat combo Citation Needed Can you hurry this along please Even art teachers are for sanity "Balanced" often = bullshit. Elect a real minority We don't all lack conviction. I will trade signs with you if we both like each others signs Senator's Priorities No Assholery: Because civility is what adults do Non-bearded marxes We're both batty and from Delaware Exterminate Boehner, ya never looked so good Amnesty 4 illegals Everyone remembers Christine O'Donnell, right? I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it. Hmmmm... anyone spot the public employee? :) :) The random costumes were great ... Halloween weekend? Cognitive Bias + Wrong Information = Tea Party Don't have to shout to be heard Fox News for Sanity... just kidding Stop bitching, start a revolution Yelling rarely works... I know, I'm a Mom Love using hyperbole ironically Facts are not decided by how many believe them. Truth is not determined by how loudly you shout... I LOVE this one! Your conspiracy theory pop-ups are blocking all the porn The best political ad ever... for all of the wrong reasons. Have you seen my keys??? I love these two ladies -- could they look more ... middle class and holding these two particular signs... loved it. Vote no for additional insanity AMEN! http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/21/136/ http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/21/136/#comments Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:57:39 +0000 http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/21/136/ Continue reading »]]> http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/21/136/feed/ 0 roamingdogs http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/17/i-finally-have-a-for-the-children-argument-that-works-people-with-guns-kill-people/ http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/17/i-finally-have-a-for-the-children-argument-that-works-people-with-guns-kill-people/#comments Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:03:25 +0000 http://factsandotherfairytales.com/?p=125 Continue reading »]]> http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/17/i-finally-have-a-for-the-children-argument-that-works-people-with-guns-kill-people/feed/ 2 roamingdogs http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/14/arent-we-all-tired-of-being-sad-for-mass-shootings/ http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/14/arent-we-all-tired-of-being-sad-for-mass-shootings/#comments Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:13:43 +0000 http://factsandotherfairytales.com/?p=122 Continue reading »]]> http://factsandotherfairytales.com/2012/12/14/arent-we-all-tired-of-being-sad-for-mass-shootings/feed/ 2 roamingdogs
