Hello,
First off I want to say that I fully respect the freedom of speech within the constitution, and for those of you who choose to use that right more power to you.
However the recent events of these tea parties has been a bit outlandish;when we think about the reason for the tea parties way back when one of the primary reasons for them was to protest the lack of representation . Currently all of congress,senate and president are elected by us the citzens of this country. All this does is continue to polarize the people of this great nation and now is not the time for that. If the citzens who claim to be so upset about the alleged new taxes are this angry I encourage you te get involved,and try to invoke the change you would like to see.
As a last statement of disagreement for all those poltical pundits that are using this to find a voice for the republican party;I encourage you to stop using the people of this great nation as your own personal agenda pawns. You should be treating this people with respect.

ReplyDeleteRyan, that's exactly what tens of thousands of people did yesterday by showing up at these TEA parties to protest high taxation rates in this country. It doesn't matter what basis the Boston Tea Party was founded upon back in the 1700's; at least, you can't tell people their basis for THIS protest is wrong on the basis of what the message for the last tea party was.
This country is polarized not because of the citizens of America with their signs in front of state capitols and city halls yesterday, but rather because extremists have taken this country hostage with their policymaking in Washington, not least of whom is President Barack Obama, whose socialist policies and practices are destined to be the downfall of modern American society unless a revolution of thought takes place. Like in Boston, the TEA parties yesterday were a "call to arms" of sorts to try and let Washington politicians and our state leaders know that a good portion of citizens are fed up with unsafe government spending, tax increases, and governmental non-transparency.
With any luck, the Republican Party WILL find its voice again, and will elect leaders who will uphold policies of fiscal discipline and proper government spending so that we can start to undo the problems caused by our extremist - and dangerous - current leaders.
