Why I’m Attending a Tea Party

As a 40+ year member of the military, I’m sadly disappointed by the frivilous nature of this “tea bagging” as though what you are doing is somehow PATRIOTIC. Not so. You are simply WHINING.

Patriotism is when you do something CONSTRUCTIVE to aid your nation. Do you not know that most of the government employees are actually doing something beneficial for you, your family, and your future family? Wow.

And why is your sudden “involvement” only coming after a Democrat is in the White House? If you’ll do an ounce of research, you will find that almost 90% of our national debt came at the hands of Reagan, BushI, and BushII.

Your talk of socialism? Good grief, most of y’all have no clue. Consider the following “socialist programs” I’ll be your families embrace:
1) The military (your tax dollars being redistributed)
2) Police, fire, rescue, and all the other emergency responders
3) Your local library, your streets, roads, highways
4) Substantial subsidies for water & sewer pipes, and power lines
5) Social security & medicare (are you going to refuse it when you are 65?)
6) Healthcare for 47 million Americans who hold minimum wage jobs whose employers are too greedy to pay their insurance. We collectively (socialism?) pay their bills whether we like it or not…it’s just hidden.

Of course, i could go on for pages and pages, but you won’t listen. You are too busy whining to get off your behinds and SOLVE these problems. Why not stay home and have a fine cup of tea? And get some cheese to go with that whine.

Good day.
