Tea Parties: The Real Thing Or Just Decaff

The right wing republicans and journalists that have been promoting the tax and health care tea parties have no kick, nor do those that participate. Their rhetoric toward President Obama has been vile and un American. They share a problem with all those who oppose health care reform but not to the same right wing extent.

While Congress is debating health care and the regulation of financial institutions, the special interest groups sponsored by lobbyist and corporate America are spending billions of dollars on advertising and campaign contributions while Congress is debating the matter. They even lie in their advertising but the tea party supporters are silent to this buying of congress. Does the public really understand what has been taking place in our system of government? The people who are buying Congress are being given a free ride. We have already experienced first hand how the misuse of wealth has created the terrible economic conditions the country is faced with today.

The actions of the conservative right wing should be of great concern to all Americans because they want to see America fail under the Obama administration at all cost, even if it means more economic hardships for the people. It reminds me of the hatred the right wingers in Dallas openly displayed for President Kennedy on the day he arrived there on November 22, 1963.

The people need to think hard about what is happening. The future is on the line.
