Tax Day Tea Parties.

[Grace]

But tell me Grace, what IF it was all about a anti-Obama thing? What's wrong with that? That seems to be a sticky point with you... Dissent of the current administration.

For the simple reason that the monetary crisis we are in now was not caused by Obama alone.

If it was to be only anti-Obama, then why not label it that way?

[Medusa]

It wasn't labeled anti-Obama because it wasn't anti-Obama, regardless of the few classless and juvenile name-callers. George Bush was called a lot worse. It was 300,000 people expressing their freedom of speech. That can only be a good thing.

I agree 100%. George Bush got it started, along with some excessive greed in some mega-corporations. Granted, the companies were given the rope to hang themselves by the government....

Obama has continued Gerorge Bush's, basically, Keynesian economic style. Only on a much more grand scale. I cannot find an example of Keynesian economics "fixing" an economy. It might be out there and I would welcome that debate.

If it was to be only anti-Obama, then why not label it that way?

Grace, I said it was NOT intended to be and it most cases was NOT a "anti-Obama" event. Most of the people I know, my friends who talk about this stuff... All agree that the problem is career politicians who continually ignore the Constitution. Politicians who play us, against us. I mean listen to how we argue with each other here... I used to be as guilty, if not more so, than most.

We might not agree.... We might not EVER agree. But we need to look each other in the eye and say what we mean and mean what we say. But without rolling eyes... Reasonable debate.





Obama is just a man. I believe things would be no different, especially economically, if McCain had won... If Hillary Clinton had won.... If Mike Huckabee had won... Its the culture in DC that is the problem. I do not believe they respect us. I do not think they understand our history. Our gut ability to get through the tough times and get better, on our own. What government is doing, IMO (with historical precedent as a backup) is making us more dependant on them to take care of us.

In essence... They want us to be their slaves, rather than the free people our founding documents should make us.

In a word.... LIBERTY. Dependance upon anyone else is not that.

If this is how the MSM "reported" on the Tax Day Tea Parties, I can see why Grace and the Obamanation are confused on the idea behind the protests.

Link.

For the last 8 years protests where the highest form of Patriatism the MSM could report to us, now protests are seen as a thing for the MSM to ridicule.

CNN attacking Fox, CNNs bias is showing.
