Simple Man Politics

Tea Parties are a great idea, but these are not the tea parties you grandma and grandpa used to attend. There will be no tea and crumpets, or cakes, or cookies, there will only be teabags and lots of Americans who are mad as hell.

The people you will meet at these tea parties going on today will not be the refined high society types, at least they won’t be the only ones there, because people from all walks of life will be there protesting taxation without representation and a government to big to function efficiently.

Public protest has always been a tool in any activist’s arsenal and that is just what the Tax Day Tea Party is all about. It is a way for those people who are angry at what our government is doing to peacefully protest the government’s actions in a public forum.

Liberal activist groups are especially good at employing the public protest weapon when they feel the need. Groups like ACORN, NAACP, Code Pink, and PETA use it on a regular basis. Unfortunately their protests do not always end peacefully, so public protest has a fear factor attached to it.

The result of this fear factor being used as a weapon of sorts by our government against the citizenry of this country is the purely false report the DHS under Janet Napolitano had compiled when she found out about the Tea Party protests going on in dozens of cities and its subsequent release just one week before the Tea Parties start on Tax Day, which is today.

In this DHS report or intelligence assessment as they call it there were some things in it that have not set well with some congressmen, senators, and citizens. The report said that there is a threat of right wing extremism. This report also characterized veterans who have returned from the fighting overseas as right wing extremists. The report went even further by saying that these veterans were potential terrorists and susceptible to extremist recruiters.

This report was written for no other reason other than to give the very socialist, far left, radical Democratic Party that currently controls two thirds of our government a means to combat the truth. Unfortunately they are combating the truth with lies, by using lies to generate fear. However the truth will always win out and as a result it is they who are fearful and worrying about losing the power that they won on November 4th, 2008.

Unfortunately for us the people they are bilking out of trillions of dollars, and are forcing to accept big government, as well as the unnecessary entitlements. It is a sad truth that we can’t do anything about these left wing extremists who are in power until the 2010 midterm elections when they can be voted out of power.

Well my friends the Phoenix Tea Party is due to start in just a short bit. I hope you all have a great day and that you have the opportunity to attend one of these tea parties. I will be back again tomorrow CIAO4NOW!!!!!
