Republican voters are disgusted; Democrats are disappointed. Emperor Nancy has new clothes and her podium requires binoculars to view the average person. It’s Nakkid-Nancy, sniping (from on-high) that this phenomenon is Astroturf--not grass-roots.
In my case, it’s the real thing—grass and roots. I had to search for a Tea Party. When I could not find one I could attend, I decided to have my own. Many of us have been kicked out of the “Silent Majority” because we are speaking up. Nevertheless, we are part of the great “We the People.” We have opinions; we are angry.
We see IRRESPONSIBILITY and ARE CONCERNED with the direction our Country is headed.
Emperor Nakkid-Nancy refuses to see reality, and hopes to demean and minimize. We can see right through her.

TAXATION and the SMOKER
-
First, they came for the smoker. You weren’t a smoker; so, you didn’t care.
Now, they are coming for the obese. Listen up, Chubby. FatTax is coming!
The Nannies of the World have united, and YOU SHALL BE GOOD . . . or
YOU SHALL BE POOR.

EXTREMISM and TEA PARTIES
-
It is not extremism to protest high taxation, high deficits, huge budgets . . . trillions for the next generations to pay. When I run out of money . . . I stop spending. Not extremism, it’s rational and responsible. I expect the same reasonability from my Representatives in Congress.
Voting for someone new has become an exchange of dirty underwear. Harry, you change with Joe; Bob, you change with Sam. The odor is still there. We get the same results, no matter how we vote—no matter which party or candidate. The sameness is extreme.
The Country voted for change; the Country got more of the same . . . to the extreme. We are facing extreme taxation, extreme deficits, extreme budgets, for an extremely long time.
All of this leads to a conclusion that Government is extreme; certainly more extreme than an average person at a TEA PARTY.

LOBBYING and MEDIA
-
Do the ordinary people have a lobby? Probably not. We’re expected to write our Congressperson at various times with various opinions, but we seldom come together. The closest thing to a lobby might be AARP. It’s for people over 50. I don’t know what there is for people under 50.
If it’s up to us to lobby for ourselves we won’t make much impact; but, I do believe the TEA PARTIES were noticed. They were noticed and downplayed by some media.
CNN had a disgruntled reporter conducting her own discouragement. It was all about her—her opinions, her voice. She didn’t interview; she blustered. It’s a symptom of the biased media of today.
Reporters should be short on opinion, long (and accurate) on FACT.

DHS and THE EXTREMIST REPORT
-
Dept. of Homeland Security apologized to the returning Veterans. So far, the Extremist Report has incurred criticism after criticism. Here is another criticism: DHS used the Pittsburgh shooter as an example—a poor example. The Pittsburgh man is one of thousands of Pennsylvanian gun owners; the incident hit the headlines because it is unusual. The incident was broadcast locally, statewide, and nationwide because this activity doesn’t happen every day, or every month. Gun owners felt certain the actions of one gun owner would be used as grist for the mill, and they were correct.
There was no militia; the man was a lone gunman. The incident began as a domestic dispute—one of the most dangerous times for police officers. There are no acceptable excuses for the shooter. Lumping this tragic incident into a broader Extremist Report speaks more to agenda than fact, and appears to be engaging in conspiracy theories from the opposite spectrum of the shooter’s conspiracy theories.
We expect better from DHS than agenda, wild speculation, and hype. DHS stands between the Nation and real danger. Ron Paul, returning Veterans, and a lone fruitcake are not National danger..

TEA PARTY SPIRIT
-
I support the Tea Parties all over the U.S. Taxes are too high, but it’s more than that. Taxation is everywhere, all the time.
I can’t find the Law which allows taxes on everything and everybody. The Law(s) must be buried within tons of documents.
Is there a “Sin Tax” Law on the books? If so, who defines the “sin?”
I can think of a few activities which I think are sins. It’s a sin to continue to add “trillions” to the tax burdens of future generations. Let’s amend the Constitution to include a “SIN TAX” for sinful acts in Congress.
For each TRILLION ADDED, Congress members are fined/taxed 10% of their salaries and benefits. I call it “THE CONGRESSIONAL INCENTIVE TAX.”

Tea People . . . unite! Time to Speak Up!
It's time for the great Silent Majority to shout out. "We the People" have been silent for too long.
Kindly get your hands out of my pocket. Pickpockets are not liked, or legal.
One sign read: "My Piggy Bank ain't Your Pork Barrel."
Another: "Government, get out of my pocket, life, . . . and ash tray."
Big Government thinks nothing of poking into (and taxing) anything, and everything.
Patrick Henry did not say, "Give me taxes 'til I'm dead." He said, "Give me Liberty, or give me death." How much Liberty can you have if you are overburdened with taxes down to the third generation?
We recently thanked our great grandson. He's only a few months old! . . . Surprise, little guy!
