I'll skip the Tea thanks

A word about the teabag tax protests going on in various places around the country:

Oh Pluuuuuleeeeease!



What do these fools think they’re accomplishing? Does anyone really think that a teabag sent thru the mail is going to sway some congress-critter to vote one way or the other? All the phone calls, emails, letters and protests have come to naught, so how are teabags going to succeed where all that has failed!

Newsflash you sunshine patriots! The Pols have stopped listening! A teabag means nothing to those people. For one thing, it’s not going to make it thru the mail screenings that are a matter of course ever since the anthrax scares. It’s going to hit the trash can long before it’s ever seen by anyone who has been elected.

And another thing about teabags: they didn’t work the first time they were tried either! The Boston Tea Party took place in December 1773. The British were still playing the oppression game in April 1775 with Gage sending troops to confiscate guns and ammo. (You DID know that the revolution started in response to an attempt by the government to disarm Americans didn’t you?)

The Tea Party looked good in the newspapers, but it didn’t bring about a change of heart in the British.

So today in 2009 we have people who vaguely have the feeling that they need to send Washington a message. And they’ve latched onto teabags as their “feel good” answer. These same people probably waved an American flag in the days and weeks following 9/11 and thought to themselves “What a patriot I am!”.

Want to send Washington a message? A REAL message? Then go buy a gun and a couple thousand rounds of ammo. Then get your ass out the range and blow the center out of a target. Now mail that target to your representative with the following note:

“Dear elected official,

I wanted you to know that I am doing my part to defend the Constitution against ALL enemies both foreign and domestic. Please see my enclosed target. Remember it well each time you’re tempted to abandon your oath of office in search or profit or power.

Sincerely,

Concerned American Citizen
