The tea parties were not about playing ping-pong with slogans. David Axelrod and others of the same ilk have practiced the art of highly calculated messaging to the point of not recognizing straight talk when they hear it.

Mr Axelrod, don’t worry, more straight talk is coming, and clarification is on the way.

This citizen’s revolt does not need artificial rethoric, nor pitchforks, it has arguments that can be substanciated. Freedom is a principle, it cannot be traded for a “tax cut for 95% of the people”, or any other price.

The sacrifice or freedom for any excuse is not a principle. It is a cruel reality in most of the world today. The tea parties represent a refusal to join slavery in the name of “social justice” by those who value freedom instead of denying its extraordinary origins.

We know the socialist “ideal” has been tried in other places at various times, including nowadays in Venezuela, and we know it never did work, and never will.

Mr Axelrod, can you come up with 95 cents worth of a counter-argument?
