I've been reading a lot about these Tea Parties lately.

Yeah, no kidding, and where were these outraged protesters when their goon Bush was in office?
Salon.com ran an article on this called, "
On 9/11, I think they hit the wrong building." At the end it said that Obama "paid $855,323 in federal income tax last year on income of $2,656,902 (mostly from book sales). If the tea business was really the start of a grass-roots tax revolt movement, maybe Obama should have gone out and joined the party." LOL.

We NEED to stop blaming half the gov. No matter what party, taxes stay about the same. I think they perpetuate partisan thinking to keep people divided. They're now conquering.

That's right. Although I don't agree with everything she says, Devvy Kidd wrote a good article about this ("
LOTS OF TEA PARTIES - AND THEN?"):
"Do you know what the herding technique is? Do you know what 'controlled opposition' means?"
"Because this uproar by we the people is growing exponentially, something must be done to herd the people in the right direction to control opposition to the master plan of one world government and the final destruction of our constitutional republic. Along come some good, decent Americans who decide to make their voices heard by having a tea party. This is nothing new. The Committees of Safety, of which I am a board member, has held them in the past; see here. However, now that the level of raw anger has been ratcheted up considerably, a "new" face of reason on a "fair and balanced" television network picks up the anger factor and begins to exploit these millions of desperate Americans.
Remember how Glenn Beck treated Ron Paul during the primary season? Remember how Glenn Beck poked fun of Ron Paul supporters and insinuated we were all a bunch of crazies? Dr. Paul, Dr. Edwin Vieira, Peter Schiff and a hundred others have been trying for decades to explain the core cancer (our debauched currency and corrupted monetary system) only to be ignored or laughed at by useful tools like Glenn Beck."
