The Tea Party got its name from the Boston Tea Party.\u00a0 Initially, their point was that there should be no taxation without representation.\u00a0\u00a0 They identified with the patriots.\u00a0 Now, they\u00a0like to equivocate the monarchy of England during the Revolutionary War with today\u2019s Federal Government.\u00a0\u00a0 Do you see a difference?\u00a0 A monarchy is NOT elected but our government (which includes the Federal Government) is elected by a majority of the people in our country.\u00a0 Hey, Tea Partiers, we got the government we elected \u2013 you lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Real patriots advocated democracy in the face of totalitarianism.\u00a0 Terrorists advocate senseless violence in the face of democracy.\u00a0 What side are you gun toting, reloading, cleaning fools on?\u00a0 The rest of us pay taxes for a military and police to deal with your type.\u00a0 Go ahead \u2013 go down in a blaze of ignorance \u2013 the gene pool will be better off.<\/p>\n
And, guess what\u2026we think the tax burden will get shifted from the middle income groups the Republicans administrations gave us to big corporations and rich folks.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Don\u2019t continue to be pawns of big money marketing.\u00a0 They would have you act against your own interests so they come out ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, and if you are on Social Security and Medicare and are against Health Care Reform you are selfish and nasty.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I see faces of children when it comes to health care reform.\u00a0 You and your politicians fought CHIPS and health care for decades and I see children dying from it.\u00a0 If you have the gall to call yourself \u201cpro-life\u201d on top of this you are hopelessly lost. \u00a0Why don\u2019t you give age the face of grace, wisdom and virtue not pettiness and hypocrisy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
