Another march on the capitol
This march is about opposing big government tax and spend policies.
The TEA Party Express goes to Washington on 9-12-09 to oppose big government tax and spending policies.
The flame of liberty does not depend upon the success or failure of either political party in America. No one politician or party can keep that flame lit well into the future. Ultimately it is up to those that care deeply about freedom to stoke the embers, and protect them from the wind.
In the last year or so those of us who cherish liberty have been pushed up against a wall. We have watched the federal government bail out the elites on Wall Street for their own bad decisions. We have seen a new president waste a trillion dollars on failed economic ideas and increase our debt to dangerous proportions. We have heard the soaring rhetoric and watched the media fawn all over this new president who we are told is a new FDR. But we don’t want another FDR. We want our freedom, we want less government in our lives and we want to be left alone.
As we watched the size and scope of government grow exponentially this year we rose up in protests across the country. It is not in our nature as conservatives and libertarians to protest, but we had exhausted all other forms of communication to our elected officials. In late February hundreds or even thousands of Americans responded to the call for another Boston Tea Party by demonstrating in cities across the country.

What a joke Bush put us in this position with his unjustified war in IRAQ. Bush move from a record surplus to the very large deficits we now have. These tea party people are not about FREEDOM they are against OBAMA. Nothing more. The Bush administration took more freedoms and these Republican disguising themselves as conservatives and libertarians said nothing, they applauded it.
Again this march is not about FREEDOM it's about OBAMA.

My own people? You must be crazy. I have never been in favor of outlandish government spending on social programs, by either party. If I had my choice I would vote Libertarian, when that is not an option I vote for those who will spend the least, intrude on me the least, and tax me the least.
Go play in your sandbox.

Re: Another march on the capitol
Go play in your tea leaves. We all have a choice and I chose to vote with my feet while you choose to whine about your lack of choice. Don't like the hand you are dealt? Get up and find and make a better place for yourself IF you indeed have anything of value to offer to anyone anywhere.
