Let me make one thing perfectly clear (to borrow a phrase from Dick Nixon) -- I have nothing against the Tea Party. Heck, if a buncha old coots wanna get together on a Saturday afternoon: take back their country; rant against big government and socialism; maybe burn a black man in effigy -- so be it. Afterall, they're old and it's good for 'em to get out of the house. But let's not be hypocritical here folks . . .
Don't like big government Grandpa?? Hey, tear up that Social Security check! (You'd think the word "social" would be reason enough?)
Not a socialist Granny?? Say thanks but no thanks Medicare -- I'll pay for my own medz and doctor visits!
Really guys, I know you're bored, and thanks to those frequent trips to the clinic on the government's dime, have plenty of time to look forward to -- but what's wrong with a friendly game of shuffleboard? Or knitting a sweater for the grandkid? Or how about building a gun rack for all those automatic weapons you bought on Ted Nugent's website? Why not leave overthrowing the government to big corporations who do it with bribes rather than bullets? Why not leave it to the professionals? It's much neater that way and no one gets hurt -- unless of course you happen to work for one of those big corporations . . . but don't even get me started . . .
