Vendzilla I have always respected your views even though I disagree with them most of the time and I have always shown you respect but that image is the stupidest F'ing thing I have ever seen you post and the follow up comments between you and buzzard only add to my incredulity.

The Tea Party is not fighting for freedom, they are delusional thinking their country has been taken away from them and erroneously believe it is due to out of control government spending and 'entitlement' programs. At the same time voicing the need for less regulation of industry and less taxes. The fact is that those who get meat of the tax breaks are corporations and multi-millionaires while the people are tossed a bone and spun to think it's steak... steak that liberals are trying to steal from them.

What makes it even worse and less forgivable is these very same activist are working hard against their own best interest. It is sad and pathetic to witness some elderly gentleman or woman screaming about the wastefulness of government spending and socialism while carrying a sign that says 'they' better keep their hands off the old gentleman's social security.

There is a distinct talent that the right shows on presenting it's spin to a country of uninformed, flag waving, patriotic people that gets them riled up. Yes the right can win the war of the words and have done so spectacularly for a couple of years now. But the Tea Party is not fighting for freedom, they are ignorantly fighting for a continuation of the status quo and a deepening of the American plutocracy.

thanks for reading
