Leave My Neighbors Alone!

Posted by Matt on Saturday, April 11th, 2009

I’m all for Conservatives openly tea-bagging eachother in protest of President Obama, ACORN  and whatever other liberal bogeymen Fox News creates out of thin air.  While I don’t really understand the historical parallel between Bostonians dumping corporate tea into Boston Harbor in order to protest an unfair tax cut for the East India Company and the teabaggers buying thousands of corporate tea bags to protest Obama’s “socialist” policies (such as the largest Middle Class tax cut in decades), anything that keeps these nutjobs from deadly rampages like this guy, or this guy, can’t be a bad thing.

And then I saw this dude:

 

Cardinals Fan? What a surprise!

Cardinals Fan? What a surprise!

 

I grew up down the street from the Morans.  They are close family friends. I went to school with their children.  They have a large, extended family rooted in the area. They are doctors, lawyers, journalists, etc..  They certainly have brains.  So when this teabagger tries to disparage their intelligence, I say, “Mr. Teabagger, you have crossed the line. Just because you wear a stars n’ stripes doo-rag over that sweet mullet does not give you the right to single out the entire Moran clan.  Shame on you.”

But seriously, keep it up.  Self-parodies can be hilarious.

    On a serious note regarding this whole tea party thing…

    Proponents of tax cuts really need to explain how they think the government should be funded. They can argue all day long that government should spend less money. They can argue all day long that reducing tax rates grows the economy and government receipts actually rise.

    But here’s the fact: Since the dawn of the tax-cutting age with Pres. Reagan, the federal government has borrowed $9 trillion dollars. Yeah, nine TRILLION dollars. (See data here: http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/.)

    Hey, personally and selfishly, I would rather pay less in taxes, too. Who wouldn’t? But tax-cutters, you have had it your way for almost thirty years. How do you justify this legacy to our children and their children?

      April 29th marked the 30th anniversary of former Cubs’ Manager Lee Elia’s epic locker room rant.

      SAGINAW, MI – As he approached a grown man dressed as the Statue of Liberty early Tuesday afternoon, local man David Briggs crossed to the other side of the street. “I’m not sure if he’s there for the pawn shop or the car wash, but I didn’t really want to find out,” said Briggs, who had [...]

      Job trends don’t always reflect conventional narratives. The above graph relates to private sector job growth during Bush + Obama terms.  Obviously, Obama took office shortly after the ’08 economic collapse – the worst in 3 generations.  To be fair, Bush took office during a period of tepid growth following the burst of the stock [...]
