US Liberty Journal: PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MOCKS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AT TAX DAY TEA PARTY 2010

About Uncle Sam

James Montgomery Flagg (my Grandfather) created the original Uncle Sam "I Want You". Although most researches will refer to JMF as the model of his original Uncle Sam, nothing could be farther from the truth. My Mother tried her adult life to correct this error, and I will carry on this monumental task, with the advent of the internet perpetuating it.

In 1916, JMF reluctantly accepted a 4th of July project by Leslie‘s Magazine, and eventually found his Uncle Sam one rainy night on a train bound for Parris Island, where he was to unveil a portrait of the Commandant.

His "symbol of our country" was a young, roughly 17 year old, Marine, which he considered the finest branch of our armed forces. He was able to acquire a 24 hour pass for this "boot" not normally allowed off base, and he aged his model's adolescent face by forty years and turned a circus clown's costume into symbolic dignity (as told to me and written by his daughter, my mother, Faith).

This cover was eventually made into a recruiting poster, at the request of the State Dept, and is now recognized as the most famous war poster of our time.

By WWII, JMF had ironically begun to look remarkably like his original Uncle Sam, and he did indeed use his mirror image in several new posters. When FDR is quoted as saying "saving model hire" in a personal letter to JMF, he is referring to the 2nd World War posters.

Faith would say, "I thought you might find the facts more fun than the fantasies."

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MOCKS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AT TAX DAY TEA PARTY 2010

The second annual Tax Day Tea Party of 2010 was held in rallys across America yesterday without incident, racial slurs, spitting, or violence -- trash, alcohol, and drug free. I was privileged to attend the Monterey Tea Party Patriots Rally across from Dennis the Menace Playground, which was broadcast live by Mark Carbonero on KION 1460 FM radio who estimated was attended by 400-600 patriots, and also a local news station. Contrary to the biased New York Times recent poll, there were tea partiers of all ages and race. It was a gathering of Americans concerned with too much government, ignoring the will of the people, taking too much control, and spending out of control money they do not have and will not have for generations to come.

While Obama was dismissive of them last year, he was mocking them this year. This president of the United States of America mocks the American People, making him the worst commander in chief in American History. To paraphrase Mr. Krauthammer, does the arrogance of this man know no bounds? The best Tea Party sign of the day is here.

Personnally, the highlight of yesterday's Monterey Tea Party Rally was a family of six very young children, each with their own sign, and all well behaved. One of the boys named Sam told me that when one of his siblings has a child, he would be an honest to goodness Uncle Sam. The Father of this magnificent family is in the military, and the Mom is to be saluted for her gallent efforts in raising this beautiful family.

Yes, this regime has taken notice, and, like any regime, will stop at nothing to destroy a growing opposition to their tyranny. The one thing despots will never understand, you cannot surpress freedom for any length of time, as history has proven time and time again.

God bless America and its patriots
