I have to admit, I'm a bit amused by the newest sham being thrown together by the Conservatives of our country. On Tax Day, April 15, the right wing plans to protest all across the country at the same time to show their disgust for such things as:- "How dare they let them there brown people into my country… that my ancestors stole from them…"
- "How dare the Gov'mint try to provide realistic solutions to the our farcical health care system" - "How dare them Warshinton Elitists attempt to tax themselves more so that we average Amuricans can pay our bills better."
And my personal favorite:
- "How dare them bastards support equal rights for them gays and them blacks and them Latinos! This is my country!"
They are calling it the TEA Party (how quaint), and acronym for Taxed Enough Already. Which you are Taxed Enough Already. If you make less than $150,000 a year, which is why your taxes won't go up with the Obama Administration's plan, but hey, who's actually taking the time to read things when it's much easier to listen to the Republican Savior Bill O'Reilly.
It simply amazes me that somehow, poor and middle-class white x-tians have convinced themselves that they should be fighting for the rights of rich white atheists instead of for their own rights and their neighbors rights. Or doing things like, I don't know, helping and loving your neighbor… or working to alleviate to that pesky poverty issue… or whatever.
To be honest, the above quotes are paraphrased. It seems that haters feel the need to hide their bigoted thoughts with as flowery a wording as they can manage. But, if you feel so inclined as to see the actual wording (and to be fair to the opposition… which is more than they'd consider), here's the link to Official TEA website. You can even get names and phone numbers of local idiots near you! Except Chicago, because the organizer is apparently to afraid to post his/her own information...
