Our love affair with cheap goods will be our undoing. Try to take away overseas labor/goods and we will be rioting in the streets the way we were during the tea embargo. We can’t have it both ways. Heaven forbid that the politicians in Wasihngton actually do something to give incentives and tax-cuts to those doing business here.
It’s Friday, and while we should all be afraid of the impending zombie crisis, most of us are probably looking forward to mundane pleasures like sleeping in, spending time with our families, relaxing etc. That’s humans for you- ignoring the 500-pound gorilla and focusing on fleeting moments of pleasure.
Veteran Wins. Word.
We simply cannot thank our troops enough. A deployed soldier is the least partisan of all American citizens and that is refreshing and rejeuvenating and sobering. Politics aside, ideology aside, religious views aside, our troops do so much for people all over the world. From Evan Buh-bye, Joe Buh-biden and the other fleeing rats to establishment Republicans too busy gloating and lining their own pockets like the Thenardiers looting after a rebel battle: Are they deserving of our troops efforts? Fortunately the toops don’t have a litmus test, there is no requirement other than being in need. Here’s to the Marines in the dead of night, Murtha.
Timeline: Bush spent a LOT of money. People got angry. Obama was elected and spent even more money. People got angrier. Tea Parties materialized. The Left mocked the Tea Parties. About-face the Left began to praise the Tea Party- the Democrat-fanned-faux-party-trojan-horse aggregate, NOT the event(s).
The Tea Parties allowed angry conservatives to voice their frustrations, and more importantly to put faces to OTHER people who felt the same, despite what CNN told them. Angry conservatives can raise a lot of Cain, especially when they are tired of funding an agenda that is anti-THEM. See the Founding Fathers. But the Tea Party?? As in a third-party?? What part of ‘Ross Perot’ don’t these ‘conservatives’ understand? Third party ushered in Clinton. What part of ‘Huckabee’ don’t these ‘conservatives’ understand? Splitting the Repubs ushered in Obama. The point of the Tea Parties wasn’t to split the field 30-20-50, it was to combat wasteful government/distant representatives/back-room deals/socialist baloney, not weaken the only opposition to such. If the ‘Tea Party’ posed ANY threat whatsoever to the Dems, would CNN be praising it’s ‘grass-roots of raw power?’
The Sleeping Giant has been awakened, but it is too angry to see/think straight. Focus. Rally. Think. ‘Tea Party’ is folly. ‘Tea Party’ is a foil. ‘Tea Party’ is the sugar in Jim Jones’ Kool-Aid.
