Good grief, what is this world coming to. We have been told all our lives how evil communism, socialisim, marxism.. etc are so how can we even be faced with this degree of radicalism in our America? It blows me away. This morning I read the goals of the One Nation rally scheduled for this coming Sat. They talked about not letting the RADICAL TEA PARTY take over this wonderful country..... HUH? Their slogan, One Nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all...... HOW could that be so opposite of what the tea party wants? Yes, I listen to Glenn Beck, faithfully I might add, and he always says not to take his word but to do the research for yourself. Well..... I have been. I am just dumbfounded. Not only is the communist party out of the closet, so is everyone else. How can our dreams and desires be so far different and yet have some of the same content? Where is reason? What is wrong with MORALITY? What is wrong with HONOR? For example, unions were/are part of our history. Unions were needed to help the worker stand on even footing but now? Unions as a whole contribute to the downfall of many thriving businesses. Employers can move to other countries cheaper than paying the bill for the demands of unions.
I had to look up the term astro turf but here's what I found:
"In response to the success of the Tea Party rallies in April 2009, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) accused the nascent movement of being “astroturf”–a political term of art for a faux movement funded by traditional powers to give a cause the appearance of independent grassroots support.
Pelosi repeated the “astroturf” slur in August 2009 as Tea Party activists showed up in large numbers at healthcare townhall meetings.
Five national tea party-related rallies have been held in our nation’s capitol in the past year and half. If there was evidence that thousands of tea party activists were getting free bus rides to these rallies, surely the media would have made certain the whole world knew about it."
There were no free buses for the Tea Party and yet the rally for One Nation has advertised where to find the buses, lunch will be included along with a T-Shirt for the event!!!!!!! Sponsors for the event are unbelievable. Exactly what I thought no longer existed in our nice, free America. All the big unions are included, AFL-CIO, SEIC, NAACP and the one that knocked the air out of me... Communist Party of the US/Youth Leadership WOW.....lots of socialist groups on and on and even a mention of the National Baptist Convention. Well, slap me silly and call me pudding!!!!!!!! The world seems to move further and further out of my set ideals on a daily basis. I am the tea party, I am a retired middle income person that believes I shouldn't live above the income that I receive. There's no one around to bail me out if I do. I believe our founding fathers set up a system of govering that made this country the greatest country in the world where everyone was free. Free enough to say whatever gawdawful thing they want. I believe there are rules to living in this awesome country. I resent people NOT obeying the rules, ALL the rules, even our government leaders that somehow manage to "overlook" paying their taxes. Just let me try that and see what would happen!!!
O.k. enough of my rant. I am the Tea Party if only my tail feathers are sticking out of the ground!!
