I’m still have trouble realizing that conservatives can carry picket signs. Obviously, they have overcome their inhibitions, as this first view in Lake in the Hills coming from Crystal Lake shows. (Click to enlarge any photo.)
I grew up in the time of sit-ins and actually helped stimulate the teach-in movement by my newspaper editorial and front page article in the University of Michigan’s Michigan Daily.
Then, conservatives just stood around and watched the radicals wave their signs.
Patriots United’s spear-headed the biggest political demonstration I’ve ever heard of in McHenry County on Route 14 at the 4th of July. It was the second TEA Party.
Not that the first ones were any slouch. There were held in Crystal Lake, Algonquin and Cary.
Saturday in Lake in the Hills and Algonquin hundreds lined Randall Road. Both Lake in the Hills and Algonquin Police were called by merchants about which I shall write a separate article so those who oppose the First Amendment can know who to patronize.
The lines of demonstrators stretched from north of the intersection where one turns to get to Lowe’s to Algonquin Road on the west side of Randall Road.
Thank you, Cal, for posting this and for the wonderful comments and pictures. It brought chills to my skin as I had not been able to get up to the north end to see what was happening. This was just awesome, and my deepest thanks to those groups and folks who participated…and especially to those who just stopped and jumped in. This is what America is all about now as we try so desperately to change the nasty direction in which we are heading thanks to thoughtless politicians. Remember 2010!!!!!
