Is It Politics or Monty Python? What a Bunch of Moroons!
Attention Readers! If you don't like name-calling, perhaps you should skip this article and retire to your morning paper. Have a good day! MichaelGood Morning Papamoka Readers! I'm sorry, but this has to be one of the most hilarious, and saddest, "serious" protests in American history. I keep thinking they're going to scream "gotcha" and admit the joke, but it hasn't happened yet.
It's incredible to think that intelligent, serious people are out there protesting for lower taxes when President Obama just passed one of the largest tax cuts in American history. Okay, not for the richest, but still one of the largest. I can understand if they're out-of-work and being paid by the rich to protest, which would be sad but understandable, but to do it because you're too stupid to look up the facts - people, that's just plain feebleminded!
95% percent of Americans will see their tax burden reduced because of the Democrats and President Obama!
Unless the boneheaded buffoons with the signs are all making over $250,000 a year, which is highly unlikely, they're protesting against something that was just passed in their favor! What a bunch of ignorant simpletons! Protesting against people trying to help them. You have to admit, they've invented a whole new category of political ignorance - TAX TWITS!
It gets even funnier, or sadder. Many are out there protesting GOVERNMENT SPENDING! They're like outdated broken political caricatures talking about Democrats as "tax and spend" liberals - sorry, socialists. Why don't you economic-policy-ignorant-imbeciles READ why the government is forced to spend right now? Any economist worth his degree is in favor of government spending at this time, especially spending designed to encourage lending, create jobs and spur the economy. They're trying to help EVERYBODY, not just the poor, you FREAKING FOOLS!
If you political pinheads with the signs were so principled and against wasteful government spending, then you should have been protesting during the Reagan, Bush and Bush Jr. Administrations. Yes, they're the ones who spent all your freakin money! They ran up the debt! It's true, over 30-years of Republican tax cuts (while maintaining popular federal programs to win votes and retain power) ran up over 90% of today's $11 trillion in federal debt.
George "the idiot" Bush - alone - ran up over a trillion in less than a year before leaving office for God's sake. Why don't you political nincompoops protest THEM?!
The only thing President Obama and the Democrats are guilty of is trying to keep the deepest recession since the great depression from officially becoming another great depression - and it's already close. That's it, plain and simple. The only way to do that is to prop up economic spending, regulate broken economic sectors, and reduce costs in industries like health care and energy. That's the only way to ultimately save money, invest in the future, and perhaps - over time - reduce taxes.
President Obama did a great job explaining it yesterday. He truly is the Professor-in-Chief of the nation. He helps the majority of us - sane, well-read Americans - understand exactly what must be done to fix the problems. It's the only way to achieve the goals being screamed out by the protesters - lower taxes and less spending.
Anyway, the whole Tea Bagging phenomena has to be one of the most absurd, crazy, insane, and outrageous acts of political naivety - or stupidity - ever witnessed on American soil. I must admit, it makes for a good laugh. Unfortunately, they may seem harmless, but they're not. It's morons like the "Tea Baggers" that keep voting for idiots like Bush, McCain and Palin.
They are the regressive, ignorant part of our political society. They are the ones who hinder progress through sheer laziness (that leads to ignorance), hardheadedness (their inability to learn from past mistakes), and desire for an ideology whether right or wrong (close-mindedness) - among other things. Yes, they're the dumb, slow kid who constantly cracks jokes in the back of class. They're only funny as long as they don't prevent the rest of us from progressing. Unfortunately, they've been far too disruptive for far too long.

PS - Btw, they're also a bunch of DUMBASSES! I forgot to use that one. :) Even funnier, they remind me of a bad Monty Python sketch. You know, the idiots with the scarves on their heads screaming at each other. LOL!!!

Kudos to you my friend for an outstanding post! Blew me away and I'm sure it will many other folks.
Is the Republican Party now defined by the top 5% that are to be worshipped and trickle down their money to the masses? I have thought this "Tea Bag" revolt was a joke from the start and you are 100% right that they have no clue as to how economics in our economy works.
Bravo Sir!
On the same day that lots of people raise Hell with the "Department of Homeland Obscurity" for supposedly suggesting that military veterans are potential recruiting targets for right-wing hate groups, lots of other people go ballistic because a bunch of their fellow citizens take to the streets to demonstrate against almost anything that pisses them off.
Wow, that was one heck of a sentence, wasn't it?
Let's hold down the rhetoric just a second, and see if we can't react calmly and with regard for those who also pay taxes, serve in the military, and love their country, on both sides. Isn't that what President Obama seems to do almost every day?
Look at the faces of those "Tea Day" revolutionaries. They, almost universally, are over 50, overweight, white, semi-urban to rural, carry homemade signs, and are not hesitant to mug for the cameras. What does that tell you about your fellow citizens? If you even imply to yourself that they are fat, dumb, and ignorant, then read no more.
Frodo believes there is some modicum of wisdom in those who recognize that human beings, for whatever purpose, were constructed with two ears and one mouth. Twice as important it is, in the apparent mind of the Creator, for one to listen.
The noise that is "out there," is a reflection of disaffection. Nothing is served by mocking those with whom we disagree, or by attempting to convince them that they are fundamentally incorrect. What we have to do is to is to act like the "whole world is watching." Because it is.
I'm sorry, but they set themselves up to be a BIG target. I think they deserved every bit of ridicule they got - and more. Older, disaffected, it doesn't matter, they should think twice before going out in public and acting like a bunch of ill-informed dumbasses. Michael
Sigh.
Ever watch the movie "Gandhi"?
