The Tea Party wraps itself in the cloak of the Founders, but the Founders were fighting a foreign power, with which they had no representation, not their sovereign, publicly-elected government. They scream against the spending of money on entitlements, even as they use those entitlements themselves (Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, Unemployment Compensation, etc.). They call for fiscal responsibility, even as the representatives <i>they elected</i> are the ones filling every budget bill with pork that winds up in their pockets. And they bemoan the takeover of "their country," which is to say a country where everyone is free to speak their mind, as long as they agree with the Tea Party.<br /><br />They are hypocrites, and hypocrites are the ones who are usually caught screaming at the rain.Nefarious Newthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265387596697011256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699336243107587106.post-84872905687828662972010-03-31T11:14:26.680-04:002010-03-31T11:14:26.680-04:00As a person who is getting by with what little the...As a person who is getting by with what little the government can give, I always wonder what is going through people's head when they do this sort of bashing.<br /><br />The thing about the Tea Party is they are fighting the battle Conservatives have tried to fight for years, but this time they will GAIN nothing for it. When Rove, Cheney or someone like them, you know insanely wealthy and powerful who increased the power of the government 3 times more than Obama is attempting to do, yammer on and on about the size of the govt and specifically its programs to assist citizens, I get why they are complaining. It hurts their bank account and nothing is supposed to affect the wealthy. But when a man or woman, most of the time recipients of Medicare, scream about the govt health care, I shocks me. To fight for the rich, against your own good, sounds like a crazy thing to do in my humble opinion.foryourinformationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744531087317715296noreply@blogger.com
