For well over a year now we have marveled at the antics of the Tea-Bag movement. Through it all one thing that seems obvious to folks like myself and many of the readers of our site is t that this movement is not centered around any kind of reality or sanity. One thing this movement has always seemed based in is greed. Now, the tea-bag movement has exposed it's other agendas, hate and racism.
The tea-party movement has morphed from a supposed "grassroots" movement to a huge money making scam for its organizers and for Conservatives such as Sarah Palin who are scamming the weakest-minded among us to the tune of millions of dollars. One need only look at the upcoming convention in Nashville to see just how bad these folks are robbing their "supporters".
We are used to hearing that idiots like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are lying through their teeth. In their self-agrandizing worlds they simply cannot accept the fact that sane people have long ago ceased in taking them seriously. Since they constantly want to feel more important than they are, they are always exaggerating their own impact on events. However, even by their own idiotic standards their estimates on the Washington D.C. tea party protests are past laughable.
Hillbilly recently did a video series on "Who do you believe", Bernie Sanders or Mitch McConnell. In it Sen. Sanders spelled out the huge problems with fraud, waste, and downright criminal activitiy in the healthcare industry that has helped push prices so high. And of course in it Mitch McConnell continually claims we have the "best healthcare system in the world" because himself and his rich buddies get to pick the American taxpayer and consumer clean.
All over the nation we just witnesses many tea parties. Tea meaning, Taxed Enough Already. In my own hometown of Paducah, Ky we witnessed one such spectacle. In the end we must ask ourselves just what did this really prove? These protests on spending and running up debt. Did all this fire and anger not spread up a little too late??
You know how Democrats are always being lectured on our patriotism by right-wing zealots. Many Republicans try and paint the Democratic Party as un-American and contend that we hate our own country. Well, something interesting happened at a tea party in Texas yesterday. Despite all the big talk of loving America and being patriotic, Repubicans were actually endorsing seceding from the union. The sad part is one of their "leaders", Texas Gov. Rick Perry actually didn't think it was that bad an idea!!
Yesterday in my hometown of Paducah, the Conservative Paxton Media Group organized a "Tea Party". While I did not attend because I was working I did get to listen to some of it on the radio. The culmination was my Congressman, Exxon Ed Whitfield giving a speech and taking the signatures back to Washington.
