I JUST HAD A VERY LONG PHONE CONVERSATION WITH MATTHEW RIDENHOUR, BELOW, TOO LONG TO RELATE, BUT HE IS A 33 YEAR OLD NATIVE NORTH CAROLINIAN  WHO VOLUNTEERS HIS TIME AND ORGANIZED THE EVENT.  ALL OF HIS ANCESTORS, HE SAYS AND I BELIEVE HIM, WERE NORTH CAROLINIANS WHO FOUGHT FOR THE CONFEDERACY AND HE RESPECTS AND IS VERY PROUD OF THEM.  HE SAYS THAT IT WAS HIS PERSONAL CALL, THAT IT IS NOT TEA PARTY POLICY, AND THAT HAD THEY BEEN WEARING CONFEDERATE T-SHIRTS, ETC. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE WITH HIM, BUT THAT THEY WERE CARRYING LARGE BATTLE FLAGS AND, IN HIS OPINION, WERE THERE TO DISRUPT THE RALLY SO HE ASKED THEM TO LEAVE AND THEY DID.  HE SAID THAT HIS CONCERN WAS HOW THE MEDIA WOULD PORTRAY IT AND I TOLD HIM THAT HE WAS RIGHT, THAT WE FIGHT THAT BATTLE EVERY DAY, AND THAT THE MEDIA WILL, AND DO, CALL THE TEA PARTY RACISTS ANYWAY.
 
HE’S A NICE YOUNG MAN WHO TOOK FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND SEEMED VERY SINCERE.  I THINK HE MEANS WELL.
