Part of the reason why I am a very busy blogger today (as I Tweeted earlier) stemmed from the fact that I had an 8:30 breakfast meeting with Caleb Howe (Redstate.com Politics Daily sorry about that Caleb), Adam Bitely (NetRightNation) and some really great folks from the American Liberty Alliance (more on that later) and then from there I had to bolt up to Farmington where I was working ring crew for a local dog show.  The State Capital was between points A and B so I took a quick side trip up to the Capital at about 9:30 this morning to see if there was anyone gathering yet.  I was surprised to see a crowd of 150-200 already on the grounds with signs, flags and all the other accoutrement that one would expect from a gathering of the angry mob.  I snapped a few pics with my trust Blackberry to share with you.

The first thing I saw as I entered the Capital grounds was this rowdy group....

As I walked closer to the Capital Building I came upon this group

As I walked closer, I came upon a self described "open-carry, right-winger"...

Some of the signs that could be seen in the crowd included....

This man is obviously a fan of the infamous Rep. Joe Wilson (more on this story later)

Finally, as I was getting ready to leave, the "key snstigators" showed up...

At this point I had to leave and get to Farmington so I don't know what other "mischief" that these people started, but if you listen to Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the President, you know that they were all up to no good.  After all - protests against the Government are only legit if it is a Republican in office....right?

Seriously, if I know the local bloggers around here, there were probably more than a few on site for the event and they will have reports up soon.  Plus I understand that there were some videographers on site and as soon as I get links to the video and reports I will share them.
