In reply to matt. I believe we had a few orders of magnitude on the Three ~~Stooges~~ Douchebags your side sent over. Now, go fuck off.

Kind of lame that a CONGRESSMAN was at the anti-government rally, since (a) he gets a fat government paycheck out of our taxes and (b) Ain’t he supposed to be working–

Ryan’s a publicity whore… I shall be sending him a douchebag tomorrow.

Congratulations on your new activism. No you shouldn’t have been protesting during the Bush years… since this is all ideological it would have been idiotic for you to actually have an opinion that contrasted with your patron saint Bush. Hence your reverence for Congressman Ryan now. Was it his speech that got you all orgasmic, or perhaps your sense of togetherness?

But we do agree that elections matter. Nice work on the last one, kids. Congratulations to Justice Koshnick for pulling in 41 percent of the vote. About as good as McCain. And while you guys get your panties in a bundle, perhaps it would help to recognize there were more people grilling hamburgers at Miller Park than at your orgy in Madison.

Two thoughts about liberals who are outraged, amused, or dare I say, terrified by the tea party protests:

1) It is not as much about taxes, or the specific percentage I am being taxed. If my tax rate were lowered from 25% to 20% but that 20% will be flushed away in utterly wasteful spending, then that is still an outrage. Especially as our budget deficits climb ever higher.

2) We should all REJOICE, no matter what our politics are, that so many concerned citizens are becoming more involved in their government. I was at the Madison rally, too. Riding the bus back to Milwaukee, I was impressed and gratified to see how closely the protesters had been following current events and the various votes in Madison and D.C. This is something to celebrate, not something to fear.

All you lefties out there, I didn’t always like the rhetoric you used when you protested the war in Iraq. I didn’t like the disrespectful tone of your criticism of President Bush. But I thank God we live in a country where ANYONE is allowed to voice his or her dissent.

P.S. Yes, I should have protested the spending during the Bush presidency. That’s my bad: I wasn’t paying attention then.

Well. I am now!

I think it’s great to see American’s doing things like this.

I’m seeing a lot of left wingers all bent out of shape over the tea parties and don’t get why.

Just stopped by one blog who said it was because “right wingers” have suddenly gotten the idea that their taxes are too high.

I think he’s missing the point. It’s the spending and out of control government erasing freedoms that I think has all these Tea Party goers upset.
