Here is a great article on the lack of Boston Globe coverage of the Boston teaparty in…Boston..you know, the site of the Origial Tea Party? Yeah, that one…

Great quote..

…”So I shouldn’t have been surprised when I picked up the BG-D this morning–the day after thousands of BOSTON-area citizens gathered at BOSTON Harbor for a BOSTON Tea Party to protest (in part) the taxpayer abuse by our BOSTON-based state government…and found a single local story in the BOSTON paper. Buried on page A16 there was a small AP story with the dateline “Frankfort, KY.” I guess the Boston Globe-Democrat staff just couldn’t resist a “KY” reference… ”

pretty interesting! check out the crazy images of people getting together today on tax day!

Let’s cut the bloated military budget.

This year’s Pentagon budget runs about 500 billion dollars…that’s 20 times more than the entire military budget of China…a growing rival power with 3 times the population of the US.

Just the Pentagon’s cost overruns and waste would be enough to finance China’s entire military budget.

I do not fear Obama as much as I fear the progressive left who I believe are hell bent for a socialist America using facism to get the job done.

So now we know that all those years of “WERE ALL GONNA DIE” because of deficits were nothing more then lies to cover up lies. Sad too because a very big part of me wanted Obama to succeed even though I wrote in my own name during the presidential part of the ballot.

I want Obama to be a successful 8 year president and bring stability to America. But the first 3 months in office he dumps all over anything and everything the right stands for effectively slapping us all in the face and saying “ha ha….I fooled you”

Well not anymore. Im wise to you and GWB once had a 70 percent approval rating too.

Repeat. George W. Bush once had a 70 percent approval rating too.

Right Brainded, when the left brands conservatives as “heartless”, they are assuming we don’t care about folks that need help. My beef, is with providing handouts to illegals (through overrun school systems and medical facilities), and those that sit on their duffs all day eating doritos that can work. Get a JOB! The free rides are what are bothering me. I know I need to pay taxes, but letting in more an more illegals, and enabling the do nothings to “do nothing” but take money out of my pocket is ludicrous! Where are the attempts to fix this? There are none from the left, as these are the very folks they want to vote for them the next time around (and why there is a push to make illegals voters).
By the way, I am saying this while just being laid off, so comments about me being an elitist or “not understanding the plight of those out of work” won’t fly here. And before anyone asks, yes I am collecting, but that is what assistance is for… “Short term” help. Not a lifetime of sucking off the Government teat. I’m off to find a new job!

Im infuriated not at taxes. Im infuriated at the progressive Obama’s plan to spend 1.7 trillion on things we cant afford for one very important reason.

He knows as does all progressives that once its a program it is like a cancer. It cannot be irradicated. We will be paying a lot more then 10 trillion over the next 10 years I can promise you that.

When they say its 1 dollar it becomes 2 dollars. 100 dollars becomes 200 dollars. 1 billion becomes 2 billion. 1.7 trillion will become 3.4 trillion and the projection of 10 trillion I can promise you will be 20 trillion.

We will be broke in 5-10 years. Once again….I have nothing against viable social programs if we can afford them. We cannot afford these no matter how much we tax the rich which means what???

You got it……everyones gonna pay more taxes. Cap and trade is one example of how the prices are going to escalate over the next 3 years and with runnaway government spending, printing money and escalating prices due to cap and trade we are going to have double digit inflation on top of the rest of our ills.

All because we elected people like Al Franken……..comedians to run our government. A professor who never held a job in his life to run the country.

Lord help us.

Just pointing out that I have a reasonable suspicion that many of the Teabaggers aren’t exactly the least hypocritical bunch in the *entire* known universe. I have nothing against the message, just the messengers and the holier-than-thou garb they are donning.

“Gotta love the European Socialism view of things – naturally their system has worked so very well”

Man we are just lunging for the s-word these days aren’t we? Give it a miss.

… all of a sudden.
On the same tack, I do find it odd that not more left-wingers are complaining about Obama basically letting capitalists get off scot-free without even having to pay the prize of an allegedly meritocratic system. Basically, everyone has to compete and navigate the treacherous free market but the archaic institutions and systems that lobby politicians and keep us all addicted by default get special treatment. The people of Indonesia are steered and exploited by the IMF but when deregulation and greed finally becomes cancerous all of society have to help and prop up the status quo and reimburse the IMF. I consider this fascism light.

ahh you are of the – lightweight group that believe since it’s always been deficits that to run one that dwarfs all before it – is nothing to write home about?
