Don't like TEA? Start your own grassroots movement then.

Here is yet another montage of the liberal media picking a theme to parrot. The current theme, in case you missed it: The TEA party are terrorists wanting to blow up the country financially. As if the government has not already. If the current bill passes, the "debt ceiling" (it's hard to call it that without laughing) will increase by $2.1 Trillion, bringing the "ceiling" to $16.4 Trillion. Up from 2001's "ceiling" of $5.96 Trillion. That is an increase of $10.44 Trillion in the last 10 years, $5.08 Trillion in just the last 2 years.

Bill O'Reilly and Bernie Goldberg thought it was "laugh out loud" funny that the liberal media will not call actual terrorists - terrorists. However, they will call citizens who are concerned about the direction of the country and the huge expansion of government - terrorists. Well, I do not find it amusing at all. The whiny liberal media has labeled the TEA party every nasty name it can think of, hate-filled, anarchist, tea-baggers, racist old white people, Nazis, Hezbollah, Terrorists and Jimmy Carter. Wait, no that last one is what we are now calling president Obama.

It is true the TEA party did form under the Obama presidency, while the democrats had full control of both houses of congress. However, the undercurrents had begun to flow while George Bush was still president and both parties in Congress were spending like liberals. The TEA party is not anti-government, we simply want a Constitutionally limited government that actually represents the best interests of the people. The government has made it increasingly clear that it is incapable of running anything efficiently. Their anti-Midas touch transforms everything they get their hands on into a huge steaming pile of expensive bureaucratic boondoggle.

I would like to offer a suggestion to liberals and those in the media who are so opposed to the beliefs and actions of what has come to be called the TEA party movement. Create your own movement, make some picket signs and get out into the streets and demand that the government raise your taxes and increase the spending. I will even suggest the name for your movement, the Raise Our Taxes party. The ROT party needs to be made up of normal people angry that they do not pay enough taxes, that the government doesn't spend enough money, that the debt ceiling should be $100 Quadrillion instead of a measly $16.4 Trillion. Here are some picket sign ideas for you: "RAISE MY TAXES!" "TAKE MORE OF MY FREEDOMS!" "GROW THE GOVERNMENT!" "SPEND! SPEND! SPEND!" "MAKE MY BOSS PAY MORE TAXES, SO I GET A PAY CUT!" "GIVE ME MORE REGULATIONS OR GIVE ME DEATH!" "KEEP ME POOR AND DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT!"

I will be watching the 6 o'clock news waiting to see the coverage of all of the ROT party rallies.
