Of Hobbits and Acid-Tongued Democrats

On January 8th of this year, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was one of nineteen people shot, six fatally, by crazed gunman Jared Loughner. For nearly a week the national press and Democrats excoriated the TEA Party in general, and Sarah Palin in particular, for creating the environment that nurtured this horrifying act of political terrorism. President Obama, apparently in another example of leading from behind, eventually called for “more civility in our public discourse”, and admonished us to refrain from “lay[ing] the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who happened to think differently than we do”.

Democrats finally heeded their leader’s advice, although it is uncertain whether that resulted from an epiphany that such inflammatory rhetoric was producing more of the division they claimed to deplore, or because they’d lost the moral high ground when it was discovered that the shooter, supposedly driven to his murderous rampage by seeing target symbols on a map of political districts, was actually a liberal, anti-Christian pot-smoker who hated George Bush.

The civility truce was short-lived however, and soon liberal Democrats went right back to ascribing the worst possible motives to their political enemies, simply for holding opposing policy positions. This last week or so, though, has seen liberal vitriol march back into full attack mode. The TEA Party and conservative Republicans have been repeatedly called “terrorists” by the mainstream press and prominent Democrats.

Yet what did they do to deserve such a misanthropic moniker? Did they strap bombs to themselves and their children and detonate themselves in the middle of civilian populations, or take an SUV and run innocents down for holding a different religious viewpoint? Did they behead someone simply to show their unrighteous power? Nope, none of the above. So what did they do to cause this liberal Democrat backlash? They refused to back down in their insistence that any passage of a bill to increase the debt ceiling contain a few morsels tossed to those that think that our government is too large and that we should no longer ignore the fact that we are barreling down the highway to bankruptcy.

The TEA Party and conservative Republicans are not terrorists, and I can prove it. If they truly were terrorists, Obama would not have waited five days to call for civility, he would have been exhorting the American people immediately not to rush to judgment and not to retaliate (as he did with Muslim and Fort Hood killer Nidal Hassan). He would have called on the Justice Department to make sure that their every constitutional right was strictly adhered to. But no, it was just TEA Partiers, so he opens up with both barrels blazing.

McCain injected Presidential politics in Bail-Out Deal…! | Health ...

During the question and answer session at one of his beloved town hall meetings in front of a crowd of about a hundred people an elderly upset woman stood up, grabbed the microphone and proceeded to yell at McCain about the war in Iraq, the trashed economy thanks to greedy Republican pigs, his ignorant flip-flopping, and the shameful lies he’s been vomiting out over the last few months. McCain stared at her blankly for a few seconds and then said, the surge is working.

This is not about Republicans and Democrats. They both promise to stop the other’s bullshit, then continue it when it is their turn. Don’t play into their strategy of divide and conquer. The problem was caused by the international bankers who own the FED who also happen to own the banks being bailed out. This is no accident. Paulson caused the problem under orders. Now he is providing the “solution” which happens to require our being robbed blind. We are witnessing a coup. We are under attack.

It’s hurting you so much, you poor conservatives! You can’t swallow the fact that John McCain is a disaster and unelectable! You sinking and drawning conservatives clutching at a straw! Accept change and realize that the only remaining hope for this country to relive its ideals is electing Barack Obama. Die-hard racists, stop grabbing onto straws like Chuck Baldwin and Ralph Nader when a lifeline Obama boat is nearby and beckoning at you! Accept Change or this will be the end of a great country!

If bailout doesn’t happen, banks are frozen for big store and corner store, small as well as big business is being tossed in the crapper–they can’t get quarterly cash flow from the bank to pay operating costs.

Little guys ARE screwed TWICE, but we if don’t free up the system, Chinese & Europe SAID they’re not going investing in our paper anymore.

Hang bastids, & stop rewarding execs for failing the country, but 1st its defibrilate the dead economy, or it IS the little guy fookayed.
