Here's what's funny about the Tea Party thang. It's mostly driven by the visceral reaction to our new president Obama's huge increase in taxes...

But for the most part, Obama isn't raising taxes. It's that Bush, in an effort to hide the cost of his tax cuts, had them expire in 2010.

So Obama isn't really raising taxes, he's just letting the tax cuts expire.

So far, they haven't increased, have they?

If you go to the Providence one, say hi to Fat Allen from WPRO, he'll be there. He was talking about moving out of RI, they'll have to find someone else to bridge the time slot from Dan Yorke to Michael Savage...

pay attention...2010...until then, we will apparently just keep printing money....

the "Tea Parties" are not "mostly driven by the visceral reaction to our new president Obama's huge increase in taxes"....to say that shows a clear lack of knowledge and extreme bias....

they are a protest of the Federal Government engaged in massive deficit spending, usurpation of states right's and a general opposition to a large centralized oppressive Washington bureaucracy....not that complicated...
we've been through this before....


it's sad to see people that work hard for the money that they earn to support their families and take the time to protest the impending involvment of a massive government in every aspect of their lives ridiculed and characterized as "extremists"by the media and the elites....

what they should have done was called themselves a million man minority protest against the lack of free government services for illegal aliens and pirates...then they would have gotten adoring press coverage for weeks and weeks...
