A dumpster-diving we go
And who better to lead the march than <a href=”http://biggovernment.com/capitolconfidential/2010/02/17/clinton-plotting-tea-party-counterattack/”>Chester James Carville, Jr. and Billy Jeff Clinton</a>? It appears that these two and their cabal are planning to go after the Tea Party leaders, whomever they may be. What they fail to understand is that the Tea Party is a grass roots deal. No one is being paid, bussed in, or induced to go to these rallies. These people are angry, fed up, and ready to take back their country. What you see there are a lot of homemade signs and such, and a bunch of like minded people expressing themselves, as to why they are doing what they’re doing. There is no membership, per se, there are no dues, and there are no officers, at least that I know about...at least with the real Tea Party movement. What this all amounts to is that the Democrats want to demonize and distract from the real message, that happens to be, most people want a smaller government, less taxation, a better economy, more jobs, and let’s not forget, security. The Tea Party people aren’t a threat to anyone or anything, other than the pork filled politics that govern us today. After the Democrats lost in Virginia, New Jersey, and then Massachusetts, all of a sudden, several incumbents have suddenly found a conscience and decided not to run again for election in November. Yet, the upper crust continues to ask why. It’s a lack of communication, they say. We’re just not getting the message. No, Ladies and Gentlemen of DC, y’all aren’t listening to us. It’s you who are not getting the message. However, we promise by the first week in November, you will have found an ear for the tune that will be played as the Rubenesque lady sings the last call, and lose your tin ear, at least for a short while. You see, dear leaders, it doesn’t work like this, when you so pompously assume that “Your leader is speaking, the servants should listen” Rather, it should be “The leader is listening, will the servants please speak.” It’s really quite simple, we little folk don’t like to be talked down to, and that’s about as plain as I know how to put it. This Tea Party movement, for those like Carvile and Clinton, who fail to understand, consists of of real diversity. It’s hardly all Caucasian, everyone is not rich, as you can find doctors, lawyers, factory workers, miners, electricians, cooks, waiters/waitresses, pilots, bartenders, grocery clerks, accountants, etc. They are not bought and paid for by some lobbying firm or union. They aren’t responding at the behest of some corporate sponsor. They are there because of what they believe and because they are fed up with the status quo, on both sides. It’s not really a political movement. It’s a people’s movement. I’ll have to give credit where it’s due. Yes, it does take a village, but not to raise a child. But it takes a village to win your country back. Another thing while I notice the word “raise” a child. You don’t raise a child, you raise cattle. Your rear a child. (rant off) <i>[Ed: I think there is a song there somewhere: “If you could raise the sick -or maybe raise the dead - would be more beneficial - than you just raising so much hell”. Now if that ain’t a good blues verse there.]</i> My hopes are that this Tea Party will not become a third party, and remain an organization of singular people and individuals who are standing and fighting for the same results. Party identification is unimportant, as long as the desires of each are pretty much the same. There will never be 100% agreement to everything between anyone, anywhere, at least on this earth. But today, there are more common concerns among a more diverse America, than anyone could have foreseen. And that’s why they’re running scared in DC, and the dominos are starting to fall.
