Like me you are probably fed up with the hypocritical actions of the hypocritical tea-bagger movement. These folks will lovingly take advantage of government programs while denying others the same right, and hating their government. Now, there is an alternative that seeks to change our government while not hating it.
LANGUAGE WARNING: Today’s story is uncharacteristically blunt, and from this moment forward we will be using lots of inappropriate language in making our points.
It is by now fairly well known that Rahm Emanuel, President Obama’s White House Chief of Staff, had a bit of a blow-up with liberals who were ready to start running ads against “blue dog” Democrats who were working very hard to shut down the health care reform effort.
Now we’re not gonna get in the middle of that argument today; instead, since we’re finally getting a chance to talk, I figured me and Rahm could get a few other things out of the way that have been on everyone’s mind for the past year or so.
Frankfort, Kentucky February 20, 2010 Restore America Rally. When Dr. Lewis Arnold gave the opening prayer for the Restore American Rally and included the following in his prayer, "We need our country to be back like it use to be", I knew what to expect for the rest of the Rally. Click here to see the video. I wasn't surprised when Stan Lee denied climate change with this little ditty: "It's been so cold that Al Gore called the suicide hot line and was put on hold. That's how cold it is ladies and gentlemen." Never mind it was was a very warm day for this time of year. Click here to see that Video
Are Democratic Blue Dogs peeking under the Tea Part tent or are they already in the tent? Could it be that the Blue Dog Democrats are Dixiecrats in disguise?
Barack Obama inherited one of the biggest messes in the history of the
United States of America. Two wars and a collapsed economy, just to
mention a few. When Barack Obama was running for President he said
change wouldn't come easy and he would need help. So what have we done
to help him and cover his back? I ask this question because I've
watched the progressive community allow the Tea Party folks to own the
streets and take over the Town-Hall meetings during the spring, summer
and fall of 2009. I was on the streets and at Town-Hall meetings to see
this first hand. Not only did I see it, Mike Watt and I shot photos and
videos of these events and Richard Dillon wrote about them eloquently.
Hey Tea Baggers, you might not want to giftwrap that Rolex, it's time to pay for the Iraq And Afghanistan wars.
Wikipedia PAYGO (pay-as-you-go) is a term used to refer to financing where budgetary restrictions demand paying for expenditures with funds that are made available as the program is in progress.
Cost of wars. Cost of Bush Tax Cuts. I realize it's popular for the politicians and rich folks to give themselves big fat tax cuts, start wars without worrying about accumulating more debt and then proclaim their patriotism while raking in their tax cut dough. However, when it comes to saving saving 44,789 American lives the politicians and rich folks could care less. Why? Could it be there's nothing in it for them? I suggest if there was a big tax cut for rich folks in the Health Care bill, the bill would pass faster than you can say Tea Party.
How's the Free Market Capitalist system working? It's working OK as long as the Communist Chinese continue to bail out the Free Market Capitalist. The Free Market Capitalist screw everything up and we, the tax payers, borrow money from the Communist Chinese to bail out the Free Market Capitalist. Can we call that Capitalism for sale? Or should we say the the Free Market Capitalist have been exposed for what they are, pyramid scheming phonies looking for cheap labor? The United States put it's fate in the hands of Corporate America the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, George W. Bush and Shotgun Cheney and now when most of our good paying jobs are gone the Chickens are coming home to roost, Communist chickens, and guess who's gonna pay for it. Hint, it won't be the U. S. Chamber of Commerce or Corporate America. For the answer to that question, just peer into your tea cup and the answer will be in the reflection.
Fired up and ready to go? Only if you're a Tea Bagger or a Right Wing Coservative. Gotta hand it to these folks, they are fired up and ready to go and the Progressive Democrats seem to be lazy, ready to sit on their rear ends and whine. Virginia, New Jersey and Maine are proof positive of lackadaisical, lazy, carefree Progressive Democratic efforts. When I wrote this April 15, 2009, I wasn't kidding:
www.hardincoteaparty.com Estimates of 1.2-1.8 million people participated in the September 12th Tax Payers March on Washington DC, were verifed by several Universities using landmarks and aerial photos.
Fuzzy math? Stupidly? Does it matter? Hell no it doesn't, we are use to both. Click here to see the real agenda of the Hardin County Tea Party folks and click here to see the Louisville Tea Party Neo Cons. 1.2-1.8 million people? Remember this is Hardin County, Kentucky. Does Dennis Parrett ring a bell!
Videos shot at the Louisville, Kentucky Tea Party 09.05.09. The photos are up here and 4 short to the point videos are after the hump. I'lll write a diary about the Tea Party Sunday. It's been another long day.
A Tea Party protest, with over 400 protesters, was held on the Hardin County Courthouse Square April 15 2009, in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. The News-Enterprise
Organizer Debra Tennison said she does not think current representatives are speaking for the will of the people. Specifically, she mentioned President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan — actually calling it a “non-stimulus” — bailout spending and the proposed federal budget. “We’re just not in agreement with what is going on,” she said.
State Rep. Tim Moore, R-Elizabethtown, and Republican Lisa Williams, who ran for the State House last year spoke at the event. I didn't see any Democratic officials there. Click here and here to view photos of the event. The video and more after the hump.
