In most cases the Tea Parties weren't about taxes per se but about excessive government, specifically, excessive government spending.
Do you lefties get it? It's not about how much of a "tax credit" this or any other administration is "giving" us. Why is it that the thought never occured to a certain lefty CNN reporter that if the government has to give us our tax money back (in "credit" form or otherwise) then they are taking to much damn money in the first place?
Why is it that Americans exercising their 1st Amendment rights to freedom of speech and assembly are caricatured and denigrated? Why is it that the rallies and "protests" have been construed as "anti-government"? Why is it that the Left never said a word when lefty, actual overthrow-the-government, actual communists and socialists have been protesting practically every week since January of 2000? At the San Antonio Tea Party the only organization people actually called for to be shut down was the Federal Reserve. At left, anti-war, actual anti-government protests, they want the actual current standing form of government in the US replaced with their idea of Utopia. Yet no demonization from the MSM.
Why? Because the Tea Parties don't fit the Lefty agenda. If I'm not right, how is it that a CNN reporter gets all riled up about a Tea Party guy calling Obama a fascist, but just a few years ago actually enabled and participated in a lefty protester doing the same thing to Bush?
What if someone is "anti-tax"? So what? Since when has it become "extreme" to believe an American citizen should be allowed to actually keep the fruits of their labor (that means to keep the money you earn working for those who have no job and subsist at the government teet)? Since when has it become "extreme" to believe that the pay you work for should actually belong to you and not the government? Since when has it become "extreme" to believe that the government should not spend so much money? Why is it that a citizen who spends more than they earn will be sent to prison, but the government does it all the time with no consequences?
Why for eight years was protesting patriotic but is now "extreme"?
My photos from the San Antonio Tea Party are on disk and ready for pick up. I am not a technophile, so we're "stone aging" it a bit here at Rounds Out! I'll get the main San Antonio Tea Party post up this weekend. More to follow...
