Jeffersoniad bloggers Leslie Carbone and James Atticus Bowden played key roles in yesterday’s tea parties.

Here’s Leslie’s speech in Reston:

And here’s and excerpt from Jim’s speech in Newport News:

“In ten years we’ve defended our liberty – right here – three times. But these times call for far more. The old labels of Republican and Conservative don’t speak the truth to these times. The standard for you, Mr and Ms Sovereign, is Constitutional. What is Constitutional. Who is Constitutional.

“If you can’t find a politician who will recant, reform, forever more be a Constitutional Virginian, then recruit a new patriot.”

Addtionally, Adam Bitely created the NetRightNation aggregator for the Tea Parties and assisted in organizing two events in Idaho.

Very nice.

Also, awesome quote from Jim’s speech.

About

Bearing Drift was established in 2004. The name comes from the relative motion of objects at sea. If there is no bearing drift, and the distance between you and the object is closing, there will be a collision; therefore, action must be taken.

Most navigation rules state that the best course of action with constant bearing and decreasing range is to alter one's course to starboard - the right! Therefore, most of us at Bearing Drift ascribe to this rule - if it looks like the ship-of-state is going to wreck, move right; you can't go wrong!!!

Shout-outs

"If you want to know what's really going on in Virginia politics, read Bearing Drift. A must-visit site for Virginians interested in politics and policy. " - Gov. Bob McDonnell

“JR’s kangaroo courtroom” - Tim J

Sites like Bearing Drift have now become important players that candidates and voters can no longer ignore. - Ryan Nobles, NBC-12

"Bearing Drift has become an indispensable source in the campaign, providing not only pointed conservative-oriented analysis but extended podcast interviews analyzing the directions in which the campaigns are headed. It is a prime example of how the Republicans can counter the wide advantage Democrats have had in the new media." - Dr. Bob Holsworth
