The Tea Party got its name from the Boston Tea Party. Initially, their point was that there should be no taxation without representation. They identified with the patriots. Now, they like to equivocate the monarchy of England during the Revolutionary War with today’s Federal Government. Do you see a difference? A monarchy is NOT elected but our government (which includes the Federal Government) is elected by a majority of the people in our country. Hey, Tea Partiers, we got the government we elected – you lost.
Real patriots advocated democracy in the face of totalitarianism. Terrorists advocate senseless violence in the face of democracy. What side are you gun toting, reloading, cleaning fools on? The rest of us pay taxes for a military and police to deal with your type. Go ahead – go down in a blaze of ignorance – the gene pool will be better off.
And, guess what…we think the tax burden will get shifted from the middle income groups the Republicans administrations gave us to big corporations and rich folks. Oh, I know they like to threaten that they will leave the country or pass the cost on to everyone else but I call that intimidation and black mail. I have faith that capitalism and competition will leave those that act on these threats in the ranks of the has-beens and entrepreneurs will rise to take the spoils. Don’t continue to be pawns of big money marketing. They would have you act against your own interests so they come out ahead.
Oh, and if you are on Social Security and Medicare and are against Health Care Reform you are selfish and nasty. You are part of the problem and I think you are responsible for the death of thousands of men, women and children that have died in this country from no and/or inadequate health care. I see faces of children when it comes to health care reform. You and your politicians fought CHIPS and health care for decades and I see children dying from it. If you have the gall to call yourself “pro-life” on top of this you are hopelessly lost. Why don’t you give age the face of grace, wisdom and virtue not pettiness and hypocrisy?
