Brewing Tea

Damn, Chris, that was good! Oh, what I wouldn't give to roll up the ole sleeves and toss a few of my own moccasins overboard!

Hilarious. Really.

Not necessarily in the way you intended, though.

I have wondered if politicians want to retain power by taxing those who produce and give to those who don't produce (which has been done for the last 70 years but on steroids by The One – is a "Tea Party" on the horizon?

The balance of "givers" to "takers" is tipping precariously towards the "takers" but depends on the continued coperation of the "givers".

Hysterical! Poor Elias though, rendered to the ocean floor. tsk tsk

WASHINGTON DC TEA PARTY

I sent the below letter to Barack Obama, and included a tea bag:
——————————————–

Mr. President,

As the early colonists of the USA did on December 16, 1773 I am starting a Washington DC Tea Party for the same reason as they did: TOO MANY TAXES. THE STIMULUS TAX INCREASE is the straw that broke the taxpayers back.
This is my token way of tossing YOUR TEA into Boston Harbor. I will be contacting as many people as I can to do the same thing if they feel the government is overtaxing us. We need TAX RELIEF, not a bunch of NEW TAXES. No reply necessary, except to start putting the taxpayer first.
———————————————

I encourage anyone who feels the stimulus bill is the tax that broke the taxpayers back to do the same. Please pass this idea along to others. Send the president a tea bag, and include a SHORT, polite letter explaining why you are doing it. The address to send it is:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington DC
20500

Nicely done.

Targeting Obama with this protest is, however, a pointless exercise. He's completely bulletproof unless something truly horrible happens during his first watch. Which none of us want to see.

What we need to do is work toward regaining control of Congress. Gridlock is right now our only real hope of saving America.

I wonder who Elias is meant to represent in the comic? Maybe the part of the Republican Party that worries about what the New York Times might say?

People are upset everywhere in the USA right now — the Tea Party attendees represent (my guess) about 1% of those nationwide who would if they could and certainly seem to want to. I can go into any store, call any random rep., stop and talk with any random person on the street and I hear the same thing everywhere: people are both really concerned with and mostly disgusted by Obama, Pelos and Reid.

If you don't like America and her policies then get the hell out! Obama is the peoples chosen leader and what he says goes. Remember the Confederacy lost the Civil War!

Ja vol mein Fuher!

The ships were in the harbor, it's not like he had a real long ways to swim to the dock. Calm down.

Tell it to Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin. Where have you been for the past eight years?

I'm with Andrew here: "simkatu", you need to remember the Nazis lost WWII.

1. "If you don't like America and her policies then get the hell out!"
I don't think many readers of this site don't "like" America. America and policy are two separate things.

2. "Obama is the people[']s chosen leader and what he says goes."
You may want to look into the system of checks and balances the Constitution established.
The whole 'what I say goes' thing only works for dictators and, in some circumstances, moms and dads.

3. "Remember the Confederacy lost the Civil War!"
The Boston Tea Party happened on December 16, 1773. Perhaps you are confusing the original
confederation of 13 states during the revolutionary era with the Confederate States of America formed
by the seceded states in 1861.

Gunnar always was a little light in his moccasins…

LOL

I agree. I anticipate an Obama recall before his term is up. Why not do the same for his army? I am one of the unfortunates who has the republicrat Arlen Specter, who cast the deciding vote for the stimulus. I might see what I can do to help put him in the unemployment line with all the thousands he voted to put there.
