The really funny thing is that the original tea party was perpetrated by those engaged in the import of untaxed tea;

The King eliminated the tax, putting the smugglers out of business – so they destroyed the legal product;

The party was in response to the lifting of a tax, not its’ imposition.

Not all of the economic mistakes are Obama’s for sure they started in 1933 with Obama’s kindred spirit FDR, then another pile of manure was dumped on us by LBJ. The only failure of capitalism and the Constitution is that we the people allowed the government to use our money to create a Democrat voting block by the creation of the welfare state. And no matter how much money your economy can generate socialism is not supportable. You cannot reward people being lazy and expect then to suddenly change their behavior and become productive members of society. The is the reason Obamanomics or Keynesian economics, or Marxism, or whatever name you want to reference it does not work. People prospering in America is not a matter of luck or chance as Obama seems to think, it is a matter of work, I work between 72 and 84 hours per week and no one deserves a piece of what I make. And to suggest that I steal money from the “rightful owners of Americas wealth” is a sick joke. The greed that is killing America is the greed of those who do not put forth the effort to prosper, but somehow feel that they are entitled to part of what others earn. The Democrats and Alinsky followers foster this greed and use it to destroy the country. Modern Liberalism is a pockmark on the face of America, a virus that weakens our nation and destroys the pillars that supported this great nation, and it must be defeated.

Samantha,

Have you ever heard of the “K.I.S.S.” method of doing “anything”? (which includes writing)??…………Please dear, when writing, please………Try to “KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID”………….Say what you mean……………mean what you say and move on to the next subject. Hiding your thoughts, opinions, beliefs in tortuously twisted prose and metaphors only confuses the reader and is apt to drive him/her away…….. no matter if they agree with your point of view or not. Ms Buker, please write so we can figure out your “angle of attack” so we readers can decide whether we like or hate what you have written. In this case, I can’t even say whether I agree what you wrote or not………………but I did get a headache.

Rick, please tell me you don’t think that we in the Whiskey Room ever cheered for a politician. We like Ron Paul and all, but at the heart of this newsletter is a deep mistrust of governmnet—ALL government.

If you think otherwise, then you really haven’t been paying attention.

I have to agree with you on at least one point: There are more and more of us willing to leave. We’ve just finished absorbing 8 years of brutal mockery (when you make a joke, and the punch-line is that Bush can’t read, the message that we conservative Christians recieve from that is that we are not welcome in the national discourse – and we felt that, strongly). We really believe that laissez-faire capitalism will work, not because we’re just following the crowd, or believing what the pastor tells us, but because we’ve really studied, reasoned, and researched the question. We really believe that abortion is murder, and that this country is in the middle of a silent genocide of Soviet proportions.

Here’s what you should know: The more people on the streets protesting, the better for the country. The people who care enough to protest really believe in American democracy. I didn’t protest because I understand that those in power don’t feel that they need to give me a fair hearing. They think I believe what I believe because I’m stupid and brainwashed and I can’t read, like Bush.

Well I can read, and there are a lot of people like me, and they’re losing us. We can disappear into the mountains, and never have to deal with this rotten government again. And if Obama does what the left elected him to do, we’re going to.

All of this nose-in-the-air laughing at the ‘tea-baggers’ is not just hypocritical, it’s disingenuous. Where were you, Oh You Smart Whiskey-Room people, during last year’s campaign? Were you saying ‘new boss same as the old boss’ back then? Or were you chanting along with the rest of the ‘hope and change’ choir? Let me see you recant your pro-Obama apologism.

Admit you were duped. If you voted for Obama, find a mirror and look yourself in the eye and tell yourself, ‘I was a stupid fool, duped by the politicians.’

Until you do that, until you find it in your heart to admit and proclaim that Obama is part of the problem, you’re just another noisy hypocrite.
