Lunacy

One of my FB friends that I find very cool, except for her politics, posted a link of some people in Chicago protesting and holding up signs.  Some of these were along the lines of the Glen Beck Viking I posted the other day.  Here is the actual link that was posted.

Ok first take a moment to digest THIS link.   George W. Bush borrowed more money during his administration than the prior 42 presidents COMBINED!

THEN take another moment to realize this is just a small part of what was handed over to Obama to “fix”.  Add an imploding banking system, automobile industry, two fabricated wars and an economy that was in the midst of free fall.  Now, ask yourself if it is reasonable to think if even Jesus Christ himself could fix this in two years, especially with non-stop sabotage by tireless Neocons?

Any reasonable person would say, of course not. Yet this is what many actually seem to expect.

The Tea Party for the most part is a fraud.  It is funded by two brothers in big oil that just happen to be some of the richest individuals on the planet.  Where was the Tea Party when Bush was borrowing money by the billions and treading all over our constitutional rights in the name of protecting us from TERROR?  The fact is the Tea Party only came into existence when Obama was sworn in.

It is more a mass brain washing scheme than anything else in my opinion.  Remember when Vladimir Lenin said “A lie told often enough becomes truth”? This has been a main stay in politics for decades for both Republicans and Democrats.  Unfortunately, the Tea Party is just the face of this latest effort to exercise the same strategy.

Hey am I happy that things are not remarkably better after two years of Obama in the White House? Nope.   Do I agree wholeheartedly with his stance on all things? No.  I don’t like illegal immigrant coddling or individuals that view public assistance programs as a careeer path. Do I think that he has been busting his ass to try to get things done regardless of the mountains of bullshit in front of him? Absolutely.

The extremes that are on display at tea party congregations sometime border on a lynch mob mentality.  It is downright disturbing to me.  It’s amazing that the last president who undeniably was responsible for downright atrocities against the citizens of the United States escaped with far less scrutiny, or maybe, it isn’t.
