Have any of you ever heard of people wanting to take part in a parade that they couldn't distribute copies of the Constitution of the United States to by standers. Well folks, now you have heard about that. It happened in one of the states that was among the first 13 states in the US. Admittedly it was the last state to approve the Constitution but then the people are still against the document.
CALLER: Good morning, Glenn. Well, you know, the tea party movement's growing across the country and certainly here in Rhode Island, one of the most liberal states in the union, there's really been a real grassroots effort to get this tea party going. One April 15th and another one in June and then we put together a float for the Bristol Fourth of July parade which by the way is the oldest parade in the country.

GLENN: Why?
CALLER: Well, because apparently we're a subversive group, Glenn. We're on the terror watch list.

CALLER: Yeah, it's actually the British slip the beaver that was ransacked by the colonists they Boston tea party in 1773. Now, we were told that we could not dress as Indians. I don't know why because the original colonists dressed as Indians. They said we could not do that. So we said, fine, we'll dress as patriots.
GLENN: Hold it, hold it. Is there a possibility that I mean, let's take a wild guess here on why you couldn't because it would be offensive to Native Americans?
CALLER: Well, I'm sure that was the reason. However, there were other floats with other people in the parade that were dressed as Indians. Some of them are legitimate Native Americans but others were not. But that, you know, the stipulation was only put on our float.
GLENN: Huh.
CALLER: Oh, it gets better.
GLENN: Okay.

Oh darn, I forgot that this comes from the stupidest man on tv and radio these days. Oh well, I consider him the man who may well inform the public of this nation about things like this soon enough to save our nation.
