The Tea Leaves
Our President finds it necessary to minimize the intentions of the Tea Party crowd. They are portrayed as a radicalized fringe movement that is a step away from being terrorist. The veteran label has gotten thrown into the mix. Guns owned by the good guys is, in government circles, a threat to order and stability. Visible protest is only acceptable if the signs are politically correct. Where is this leading?
It doesn’t take an Einstein to answer that question. The new world order is being dumped upon us. Big government includes our government’s international ambitions. Secretly the first bailout package under President Bush went to prop up the world economy. Murder and mayhem is to be continued in Iraq and Afghanistan. National pride is out of fashion. An apologetic and submissive posture in diplomacy is the politically correct motif required for progress toward world unification.
Mr. President, we are reading the tea leaves. Your supposed hero President Lincoln is turning over in his grave because his sacrifice is being betrayed. He loved the union of the United States of America! Your leadership as well as that of George Bush, abrogates the special significance of America. Patriots value freedom and fairness. Neither is a remote possibility amongst the governments of the world.
The WWII, the baby boomer, and all subsequent generations have increasingly succumbed to the love of money. The love of spending money is the back side of the same coin. Spending is the overriding concern of the Tea Party crowd, the inevitable rising taxes are a mere byproduct. Ballooning interest rates are sure to follow within months. Runaway inflation will follow closely behind.
Our freedom will be further in hoc to the deep pockets of the world, our children’s future is dismal. We shall soon be just another Banana Republic governed by the few. It is time to stop blaming George Bush when your spending agenda is a whopping increase of 8% in GDP. (The Daily Press, April 16, 2009, Tea Parties)
This increase of almost 50% is unprecedented and it is all yours. Your intent may be for this level of spending to be temporary but this is an extreme gamble. Our greed ridden politics has never been successful in cutting costs. The tea leaves say that this level of spending is doomsday for all time.
Preident Barack Obama, you won the election and therefore set the agenda. The democratic majority in Congress will make your agenda the law of the land. We former Republicans who dared to vote our hopes by voting Democratic, did not vote for this change. We voted against the failure of Republican liberalism. You appear to be peddling only an even more liberal flavor. What will be your legacy?
Please, Mr. President, read the tea leaves for yourself!
