May 1, 2013

 The annual May Day circus came to town, complete with a guy with a whip and an illegal alien advocate on stilts. SEIU rentamobs were bused in, car loads full of “illegal alien teenagers”,  Hispanic mothers with strollers, anarchists and aging hippies converged on the streets of downtown Portland today to  stick it to the man and protest in favor of…sticking it to the man.  Cecil B DeMille has nothing on this lot.

Herewith are a few snapshots of the event today. If you follow me on Twitter @VictoriaTaft or Facebook “The Victoria Taft Show” you saw these in real time, but here they are in all their glory.
