Comments for The Unofficial Website of the Knoxville Tea Party http://knoxvilleteaparty.com Tea and Crumpets Anyone?

It’s a shame people can’t just admit, “I’m racist, and I will find any excuse to pretend I have an issue with Obama’s past or policies because I can’t just come out and admit I don’t want a black president." I think you have a rather ignorant approach to the way many people have raised issue with Obama's nationality and policies. Before Obama released the Long Form birth certificate, the lack of original evidence was enough to cause some people to reasonably question whether he was born in this country. If you watched the Republican debate in S.C. (where Democrats believe all the racists live :D ), you might have seen how Herman Cain won over the "focus group" at the end of the debate. If Cain actually won the nomination and then the presidency, and decided to cut the size of gov't, should his opponents be called "racist" just because they would rather increase spending?

I s'pose anyone who points out that we're spending ourselves to ruin must be a racist? If we add that's it's utterly wasted, why that can only be pure evil, not a simple, logical analysis, right? Of course it's hard to explain to people who can't read a balance sheet, who don't understand budgets and margins and so forth. People who don't even know what a deficit is, or how it gets financed. Nope. Four legs good, two legs bad. We're spending fortunes in bogus stimulus, to no effect, and burying ourselves in debt, but it's all okay because we oughtn't criticize the people doing it, right? And for all the money we've spent, we've got nothing. It's not working. We're not recovering like we normally do from recessions, there's no relief, no breath of fresh air. Not jobs, no end to foreclosures, the bailouts continue, prices are starting to skyrocket, all due to the President. Nope. Hope and Change--it's not working. Of course we all know that already, we see it all around us every day, and we feel it in our hearts; we know it's true, see it at the gas pump and the grocery store. There's a pall over the nation, we're glum and divided by the Great Divider. It's Not Working. That's because it never works. Discouraging the people who work and make things never helps. Saving enterprises that deserve to fail, on the backs of those that don't, never helps. It discourages hard work, and rewards incompetence. Forcing everyone to buy more insurance costs more, obviously, not less. Yet, our President tells us the opposite. He says he's lowered taxes, but it's not true--today's deficits are tomorrow's taxes. That means taxes are 76% than you think, since the President's spending $1.76 for every dollar he has coming in. And, hiding taxes doesn't make them easier to pay. Yep, I guess I must be a racist, right? Puh-leeze. Oh dear. I s’pose anyone who points out that we’re spending ourselves to ruin must be a racist?
