Let Them Drink Tea

April 16th, 2009 by Alexandra received 1 Comment »

As a Democrat, I’ve been trying not to stress out over these ridiculous tea parties and stupid Americans. I think I get stressed out so easily about it is because I’m fighting for people’s rights — and not with stupid, uninformed opinions. Is it a coincidence that Fox News gave it the “best” coverage? God, where were you when people were protesting against Scientology? The Free Tibet protests?

I love how, during these protests, President Obama was delivering a message about tax cuts, about an easier taxing process, and another guy is calling him a fascist with no evidence.

Sometimes I wonder if President Obama looks at all these videos on YouTube and just wants to quit. The people he’s fighting for are protesting against him because they’re being handed bullshit in a handy basket and told it’s Easter eggs with money inside.

It just makes me want to move out of this country, honestly. I am so tired of being dubbed an American.

You know, that reminds me: my friend Charles and I were talking about politics back when the primaries were going on. I told him that to some people, I’m called “unpatriotic” or “acting un-American.” I’d like to think I’m one of the most patriotic types of people around. I uphold the Constitution. I don’t infringe on people’s rights. I’m a liberal, but I stand up for the Second Amendment. I breathe Constitutional law.

Me knowing the Constitution alone makes me more patriotic than most of those out there having “tea parties.”

Stand up for something. Please. But at least know what you’re standing up for. (And never stand up for a media outlet.)

    You know, a friend made a really good point the other day: people want government benefits, and bitch when they cut or stop certain programs, but where do they think this money comes from?

    Shit costs money, even for Uncle Sam. Where else are they going to get it? By borrowing even more money from foreign countries, increasing the federal deficit?

    Regarding Fox, I haven’t been following the news, but what you say isn’t surprising. It’s not like Obama invented tax increases or whatnot; it was just ‘OK’ when Bush did it, because he wasn’t a democrat. Ugh.
