Janus, of course I know you’ve been consistent, but you’re one of the few. I didn’t mean to insinuate that you, yourself, were at all being hypocritical, only that most of the people who attended those things were. ;)

Here in California, they passed the largest tax increase in the history of the country and only one Republican in Sacramento is screaming about it, the rest have all been bought off by the wild-spending Democrats.

It’s disgusting.

We must fight the Obama ilk for this is war to preserve the founding of America not for changing the foundation of this great country into Amerika.

OOOHAAAA! Rangers Lead the Way, Patriot’s Lead the Charge.

P.S. You have since been added to my Conservative Blogroll.

Ugh.

I didn’t attend my local tea party, though, because I thought the idea was both ironic and stupid. Sure, I don’t question that it was well-organized and that people were civil and polite. It was a peaceful demonstration. My problems with it are: a) it’s a bad historical reference, as our taxes are backed by Congressional representation; b) I can’t recall these hypocrites organizing or even voicing complaints when Bush expanded the government and tremendously increased spending; and c) ironically, most of the people attending receive the tea parties got tax breaks — not increases — under the current administration’s policy.

Sure, I’m not a big fan of government spending. Hell, even though I vote for them more often than Republicans (it’s the whole God thing), I’m not a huge fan of the Democratic party either. My problem is… Gee, it sure seems like it’s only “Socialism” when the other party is doing it.
