Obama's Occupy Wall Street Gang

This is desperation, folks.  The Obama campaign cannot run on his dismal, failed record, so they fall back on the ONE THING he has experience with: community organizing, a euphemism for rabble-rousing or mob rule.  The compliant media covers it in adoring tones and doesn't show all the violence and illegal activity that's going on: rape, assault, threats, drugs, vandalism, theft - and that's just for starters.   The longer they stay, the worse it will get.

Obama supporter hangs 'generic' banker in effigy.

Newsflash: Vilifying and demonizing the successful people in this economy - who, by the way, are the ones who are taking the risk in expanding their businesses or starting new ones, who do the hiring for the jobs these so-called 99% want - won't force them to take on MORE risk.  Just the opposite.  (Talk about biting the hand that feeds you...)  They'll keep on waiting on the sidelines until the business climate improves - sometime after November 6, 2012 when the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue vacates.

Having angry mobs (a combination of well-heeled college kids, old hippie socialist/Marxist anarchists, criminals and just plain old bums) hanging out on street corners and parks in blue cities around the country for weeks on end is a terrific gamble for the Obama camp.  The 20-30% of the country who self-describe as liberals must think the rest of the country will agree with them and jump on the democrat party bandwagon.  They couldn't be more mistaken.

This phony, Axelrod-orchestrated class warfare astroturf will backfire on them, big time.  This kind of thing might work in Chicago, but there are a lot more of us in 'flyover country' than they think.  This country is much more conservative than liberal.  We don't like mob rule.  We are a nation of laws.  Domestic terrorism won't work on us.  Our American way of life is under attack by this handful of union rent-a-thugs and hangers-on.  We are not 'into' socialism, we love freedom and all the positive things that come from capitalism and a free market economy. 

This miscalculation by Obama, just like ramming Obamacare down our throats last year, has awakened a sleeping giant - patriotic Americans.  Come election day 2012, normal every day Americans will show the Obama folks just how much they like lawless mobs defecating on their doorsteps and urinating in their parks, spouting anti-American slogans, doing drugs and other disgusting things. 

Obama's new campaign slogan is "We can't wait" - well, we can't wait either - until 11-6-12.  Hope and Change - indeed.......

I Guess This Should Be Obvious, But It Needs to Be Said Nonetheless

Contrary to what most of the media report, Tea Party members are not bigots or racists.  We are not terrorists.  We believe in fiscal responsibility, smaller government, adherence to the constitution, the free enterprise system, less government regulation and less taxes.  Does that sound like terrorists, bigots or racists?  Don't believe everything you hear on the nightly news.

Everyone is welcome at tea party meetings, which are always held in public places.  We don't check party affiliation at the door, but I'm sure we have republicans, democrats and independents that attend our meetings, and probably a few libertarians and constitution party members, too. 

Here is the agenda of a typical tea party meeting: recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance (the same one children used to recite in grade school - why and when did this stop? - but that's another blog entry); a review of any old business (which might be a report on a recent blood drive or a discussion of how the last parade went and what the turnout was); new business (usually a list of upcoming events members might be interested in attending, such as a political fundraiser, a congress person's town hall meeting, and usually an urging to attend our local government meetings, to be informed of local issues); and then we have a speaker or two.  Speakers in the past months have been prospective political candidates (all parties are welcome, but so far, only the GOP has responded), our local state rep giving us an update of what bills he voted yea or nay on and why, a person talking about his research into the health effects of living near wind turbines (a big issue around here), etc. 

I'm pretty sure this is the same kind of stuff that is going on at tea party meetings all over the country.  If you are still wondering whether the media is right and the tea party folks are agents of the devil, gather up all your courage, bring a few friends, and attend a tea party meeting.  You'll find a nice group of folks (most likely your neighbors) who are just fed up with the mess our country has gotten into over the last decade or more, who want to educate themselves so they can elect like-minded people in the future who will bring our country back from the brink of economic self-destruction.  Many are worried about what the future holds for their children and grandchildren.  If that's not scary, I don't know what is.

Liberals, We Know You Are Confused...Here's Some Help

Since the November 2010 elections, we know you liberals have been confused. Taking a real shellacking can do that. You didn't realize the American public was so against your tax-and-spend-us-into-oblivion policies. So, there's a reason you call us fiscally-responsible folks such nasty names as "terrorists" or "jihadists" or "hezbollah" - you are just confused. You need help. Here's some clarification for you: below left, a generic terrorist/jihadist/hezbollah guy; upper right, a typical Tea Party guy. See any difference? If not, keep in mind that the Tea Party folks want smaller government, more individual freedom, less government interference in our lives, less taxes, less spending, and a return to the founding fathers' philosophy as outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. Terrorists, jihadists and hezbollah folks want to wipe us off the face of the Earth if we don't join their religion - and even if we did that, they would probably still want to kill us all anyway. Big difference!
