My 16 year old son is interested in current events, but he often asks me for my analysis of what is happening.
Today, he mentioned that he read that some on the left attribute the “Tea Parties” to racism. That is, the “right wingers” are prejudiced, and are protesting just because President Obama is black (actually, he’s bi-racial).
If some people truly believe this, they are ignoring what the mainstream media has, for the most part, avoided reporting. That is, the Tea Parties yesterday were not based on displeasure over the color of the President’s skin, nor were they only made up of “right wingers”.
The fact is, the demonstrations were attended by working class people who are fed up with the spend-and-then-tax politicians who are pissing away our future, as well as that of at least the next 2 upcoming generations. Yes, there are more and more in this country who are finally starting to pay attention; I just hope it’s not too late.
Sure, many of those attending may be classified as conservative, but there were a great many protestors that were previously Obama supporters and voters, and now that they’ve seen his true agenda, they realize their mistake.
So the left-wing media can carry on with their “tea bag” jokes, and their condescension and disgust towards those protesting. But when next year’s general election is finished, I sure hope they don’t have the gall to say they are surprised at the results…

How odd is it that we are told not to spend what we don’t have yet our government spends TRILLIONS more than they make in taxes and continue to tax the heck out of us yet remind us not to live beyond OUR means!!!! I think we need a movemtn to remove special retirement, health insurance and all of the other perks with being member of our national government they need to worry about their future like we worry about ours’ maybe then they will pull their heads out of the nether-regions and fix the mess the got us into… I believe in CHANGE toss all of their butts to the curb and hire a bunch of REAL working men and women who pay their taxes, and their OWN bills plus give a damn about something other than themselves and see how fast we can turn this country around!!!!
