Republican Tea Party March Obama Attacked
The tea party freedom fighting patriots marched on Washington, but I still can’t figure out what they expect out of Congress or Obama. They make a lot of noise but don’t really say anything.
Seems like they don’t like taxes, budget deficits, or government spending. There were incantations to the Reagan god even though he laid the groundwork for unfunded government spending and massive debt. They were screaming socialism and communists but I took a look around I don’t see any of this. Then there is the unconstitutional healthcare reform, but it’s hard to understand the complaint here since reform is a necessity and cannot be avoided.
This crowd really hates Obama, even though he hasn’t really done anything; ask any progressive, they’ll tell you about his lack of accomplishments. You can’t blame him for this mess, he’s only been in office seven months, it takes around eight years to screw things up this badly.
All that talk about the Constitution would make you think it was a march of law school graduates. You people have never read the Constitution and couldn’t quote one sentence from it. Your political philosophy has led us to the abyss and the voters last fall through you into it. But you climbed back out to whine about the state of the country, the one you almost ruined.
So tell us, what would you do about taxes, cut them? The treasury has run out of money, what do you want them to do borrow billions of dollars from China and give it to you? This is exactly what the republicans did when Bush was elected. That is why the debt skyrocketed, but you what another hit. Those tax cuts didn’t go to you anyway, they went to your boss.
How about the budget deficit? Should we raise taxes to balance the budget? No? How about we just stop spending so much money? Good idea, but you tell me what government agency you want to do away with. Should we call all the troops home from around the world and close all the foreign military bases; how about the FBI and the CIA we don’t need them? We could shut the prisons down and let everybody go. Should we stop fixing the highways, stop funding higher education, underfund the transportation system? Tell me exactly what you don’t want anymore.
Here are my choices; cut the military budget in half, the Huns are not gathering at the boarders. Shut down NASA, there is no other intelligent life out there, or if there is they wouldn’t want anything to do with us imbeciles, that’s why they won’t pick up the phone and return our calls. Actually I can’t think of any others, but these two are my favorites.
Republicans complain about spending but won’t cut any. Bush the second believed in smaller government but when he got into office he didn’t produce it. Turns out all the government agencies were too important to get rid of. His tax cuts led to the debt levels you’re now complaining about. The bank bailouts were a republican conceived idea and were needed to keep you people from being wiped out. Talk about being ungrateful.
Lenin would laugh at your accusation that Obama is a socialist. So would the progressives in this country. We are not rushing toward socialism, why would we save the banks and GM if we hated capitalists. This government is so in the pocket of capitalists that it should be shut down on that account alone. The last thing we have to worry about is socialists; at least not until public campaign financing becomes a reality.
Obama and congressional democrats don’t need healthcare reform, you do. If reform fails to pass Obama doesn’t lose, the democrats don’t lose, you lose. As the years pass you will eventually plead for reform, it is inevitable, you’re just the last ones to figure that out.
So what did the March for Freedom accomplish, what solutions to our current problems did they bring to Washington for consideration? It didn’t accomplish anything and it had nothing to offer in terms of ideas for moving forward out of this economic collapse. Just a lot of noise, anger and maybe even hatred. To what purpose, I have no idea.
Pat yourself on the back you marching shouting patriots you have won a great victory. Over who and what I can’t tell. I’m sure your fight for freedom will continue with increased vigor. Unfortunately, you‘re too late. The fight you showed up for has already been lost. You’re tilting at windmills now. You’re glory days are over. Fight on! Fight on! Just because you can’t win doesn’t mean you can’t bring the rest of us down with you.
