A collection of some of the finest conservative minds spoke at American Airlines arena Thursday night during the Restoring Freedom rally sponsored by Matt Kibbe and Freedomworks. Among the patriots present were Michelle Malkin, Dana Loesch, John Fund, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, and South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint.

 Dana Loesch talked about the Aurora theatre shooting and about the media bias of Brian Ross. She said, "He googled the name Jim Holmes and up pops a member of the Occupy movement, and then up pops a member of the Tea Party. Which one do you think he picked first. Of course, the Tea Party."

Former NAACP Chapter President C.L. Bryant brought down the house with the comment, " My father told me,'I didn't go through all the hardship so that you could be black. I did it so that, you could be FREE!!'"

Of course, the whole Thursday night crowd went crazy when Glenn Beck came on the stage. He introduced several members of the Tea Party from foreign countries such as Israel, Australia, and Greece.
The event ended with the refreshing idea of the liberty and freedoms embraced by the Tea Party being spread globally. It sent the crowd into a frenzy of celebration and enthusiasm to kick off a weekend to be filled with love, and a zeal for embracing God's righteousness and a commitment to voting one's conscience according to His principles. As Senator Jim DeMint said during the event,"Everybody's been saying the Tea Party has fizzled........but you're here today,  And America is hearing from you again!"
