Photos from the Boston Tea Party

By Paul Hsieh @ 5:23 AM

Here are a few photos from the July 4, 2009 Boston Tea Party, including the Ayn Rand Center booth as well as some of the OCON attendees carrying signs.

The weather was perfect -- sunny and clear, but not too hot. Attendance was probably 200-300, although it varied during the day. The crowd was philosophically mixed, and not obviously dominated by religionists or fringe ideological groups.

I didn't hear the talks by John Lewis or Yaron Brook because the schedule ran late and I had a conflicting engagement. I was told they were well received but I'll leave it to others to link to their speeches once they are available online.

That's good that the Tea Party wasn't dominated by religionists and fringe ideological groups.

Unlike this group of obvious hippy losers: http://www.lp.org/leadership

How ironic. Selfishness caused the economic crisis. It's not the cure. Greenspan was drunk on the Rand Kool-Aid, and look what happened. Shame, innit?

That you think Greenspan acted like a champion of the free-market? Yeah, that is a shame. Read an article on his policies as Fed chairman; they're on the Web. Or just make claims that contradict reality. Whatever.
