Johny Come Lately Tea Partiers

The most common theme of the Tea Party protests is taxes; they are angry over the government's stimulus and bailout spending. However, there was very little public anger expressed by the same groups when Bush was spending like a drunken sailor during a time when we were not in a recession. At least the current spending is an attempt to get us out of a recession. It has a real purpose, regardless of whether you believe in stimulus plans or not. Bush's was merely sloth and political gimmicky. Remember that tax refund check you got from ol' Dubya when he was giving Clinton's surplus "back to the people"? I'm sure the Tea Party crowd happily spent that sucker. The word "hypocrite" comes to mind. And then there's Reagan's spending.

Profile This!

Right-wingers generally want to bring back profiling in order to stop the big bad terrorists. The same way we didn't need torture for every war since Washington's time, we now suddenly "need" it. With the likes of the Cessna anti-IRS terrorist and Tim McVeigh's posse still in existence; are the wingers still interested in profiling? If so, I'd suggest that each grumpy white Tea Party member get the best anal exam an airport security team has to offer.

Mass Disease?

The more verbal right-wingers like to quote Michael Savage (whose real name is Michael Weiner) who claims in a book that "liberalism is a mental disease". But the vast majority of the industrial world is progressive. Does this mean the vast majority of the world is mentally ill??? If you think 90% of the world is mentally ill but you are fine, Occam's Razor would suggest that YOU are the one missing some bolts instead.
