Those Silly, Silly Tea Partiers
Oh those silly, silly, silly teabaggers.
As I’m sure you’ve seen on all the major media outlets, the Tea Partiers have been going on and on ad nauseum about “protecting their constitutional freedoms,” “fighting unconstitutional government programs” and “resisting a government that oversteps its authority.”
They’re really just a bunch of negative bigots!
Who else but a negative bigot would think that the healthcare bill, which will give millions of poor people access to free healthcare, is a bad thing?
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves. – William Pitt (1783)
Who else but a negative bigot would be opposed to the only fair institution – the United States Government – regulating the automobile and healthcare industries? Hell, why would they be opposed to the government regulating every industry?
The multiplication of public offices, increase of expense beyond income, growth and entailment of a public debt, are indications soliciting the employment of the pruning knife. – Thomas Jefferson (1821)
The majority vote of the people gives the moral right and the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce gives them the legal right to do it! You can’t trust the corporations, they’re only in it for the money!
On every unauthoritative exercise of power by the legislature must the people rise in rebellion or their silence be construed into a surrender of that power to them? If so, how many rebellions should we have had already? – Thomas Jefferson (1782)
Who else but a negative bigot would be opposed to introducing a fair cap-and-trade system that could only possibly lead to reduced carbon emissions and to mankind finally saving the planet?
I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. – Thomas Jefferson (1824)
Who else but a negative bigot wouldn’t want to give their fair share so that people who are less lucky and less fortunate can share in the wealth? Those less-fortunate people have children, and by denying those people their fair share of the wealth of this country, you’re denying their children the opportunity to better themselves!
The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale. – Thomas Jefferson (1816)
What makes these “patriotic,” racist, corporate slaves think that they’re any wiser than Nancy Pelosi or Barney Frank? By what right do they have to go against the will of the majority? Democrats won the last election, and to the winners go the spoils, after all.
The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government. – Patrick Henry
We’ve been making huge strides since Obama was elected! We’ve ensured that government will have the power to really push equality and justice for everyone! Everyone who needs to be taken care of, will, and if you’re not on board, you’re just a greedy, racist bigot.
Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. – George Washington
And why do the tea-partiers think they’re so special? What makes these tea-bagging fascists think that they have all the right answers?
If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. – Samuel Adams
People trust government to fix the roads, defend the country, provide legal justice and run our schools. We all trust the government to do those things, so why do the tea-baggers close their eyes, plug their ears and scream, “No, no, no” when the idea of the government stepping in and fixing problems comes up?
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. – Thomas Jefferson
All this talk of rebellion and “fighting back” against the government is bullcrap. Nobody will do anything. The army has the guns and missles and tanks. They’ll maintain order if the Tea Partiers ever get out of line and make sure the trains run on time.
What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. – Thomas Jefferson (1787)
There aren’t more than a handful of corporate ass-kissers in the tea-bagging party. Vote Democrat or Republican in November 2010, don’t waste your vote on the Tea Party!
