so says Debbie Gunnoe, a tea party organizer from Navarre, Fla.
“calling all tea party people across the United States ‘tea baggers,’ which is a denigrating word with negative connotations... It’s as bad as calling a black person the N-word.”
srsly!
I don't even know where to begin, for one, you aren't born a Teabagger, like a black person is born black. Secondly it's nothing but a sly nickname for members of an absurd, disingenuous movement, kinda like labeling people "Birthers" and "Truthers". I say disingenuous, because why is it that these people are so concerned now with the national debt? Where was this movement during the Bush administration? While we are at it, who famously said "deficits don't matter"? Yup, former VP Dick Cheney. WHERE WERE THESE PEOPLE THEN? I'm sorry but it's way too convenient for them to start screaming about the debt soon after President Obama took office, considering he inherited the Great Recession from George W. Bush and needed the Stimulus to bring the economy back from the brink.
Also Ms. Gunnoe, Teabaggers themselves did use the "N-word" as well as called Barney Frank a "faggot" this past weekend, so how can you exactly claim the high ground here? You cannot. Lastly, I know the Teabaggers are god-fearing, seeing how the second of Glenn Beck's 9 Principles of his "9/12 Project", the commandments of the Teabagger set you could say, is "I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life", so when it comes to heath care I ask of them: What Would Jesus Do? From what I've heard he was a pretty generous fellow, one who wanted to care for the poor and downtrodden, so I doubt he'd treat very sick people like this:
So ok Debbie, I won't call you a Teabagger, how about I just refer to you guys as what you truly are: racists, homophobes, phony Christians, but most of all: H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S!!! There! That better?

"Where was this movement during the Bush administration?"
ReplyDeleteBet you didn't know: national debt has increased by 1 Trillion since Obama was instated (a little over a year ago).... thats 3 times as much as Bush ever spent, and he served two terms.
Also: Jesus taught his deciples to fish. He said, give a man fish; and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll always have food.... The "teabaggers" don't believe in just giving out free fish to lazy welfare recipients who don't pay taxes.
Jesus said that? really? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteand health care reform is not just for "lazy welfare recipients", it's for the people like me who lost their job and couldn't afford the $500 a month COBRA payments as well as for those w/ pre-existing conditions, etc.
turn off the talk radio, son
Well, hardworking people think socialism is bullshit. The Something-For-Nothing phenomena is only as old as national debt.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't listen to talk radio. I was born with a sense of fairness; and taking an exponential amount of taxes out of my paycheck for something I don't want doesn't seem fair to me.
This kind of problem is why we broke apart from Britain in the first place.
Fine then, let's do away w/ Social Security first, then Medicare and let the old folks try to purchase their own private insurance. I hope they don't have any pre-existing conditions!
ReplyDeleteI don't see why health care is so different from all our other services like fire depts., police, military, legal system, etc. Why can't we see a doctor when we are sick the same way we see a policeman when we are victims of crime?
