The Republican party, especially the TEA party faction remind me of bullies. It seems the only way they deal with those who differ in their beliefs is to shout them down, insult them and if that doesn't work, call them un-American.
The TEA party tactics consists mainly of shouting down their opponents. This was demonstrated clearly a couple of years ago when Congressman Gene Taylor tried to hold townhall meetings. The TEA party members kept shouting that no one could air their views and have debates about issues. Their tactics worked. Taylor was swept out of office and a TEA party shill by the name of Steven Palazzo took his place.
We saw Sarah Palin use the same tactics. Newt Gingrich uses the same tactics. These are the tactics of bullies and not statesmen and politicians.

GOP & TEA Party: Party Before Country
I watched President Obama's speech last evening. I like it a lot because it gives more tax cuts to those who need it most: The middle class. The proposal would also pay for itself by closing tax loopholes that large corporations and billionaires currently enjoy on the backs of the middle and lower and middle classes. Some of those mega-corporations enjoy tax breaks for creating jobs. Too bad those jobs were created in China!!
Even though President Obama didn't name Grover Norquist by name, I'm glad that Obama brought up the stupid pledge some members of Congress made of not raising taxes. Too bad those same members(read GOP and TEA party) seem willing to increase the tax burden of the middle class. They bulk at raising taxes on the wealthy by 3% but seem to have no problem with raising taxes on the middle class and working poor.
Analysis has shown that President Obama's job plan would add over a million jobs in 2012.
But I doubt if the Republican and TEA Party members of Congress will pass the job bill. They put their party before country. They don't to care that the middle class and the working poor are suffering. In short, they care more about their buddies like the Koch brothers, Grover Norquist, and others, than they do about our country.
GOP and TEA Party prove that you care more about our country than the party you belong to and help pass President Obama's sensible job plan.

Dear Little People, A Message From the GOP

In these tough economic times, we need everyone to make a sacrifice. We need everyone to share the pain. We are all in this together, and everyone must be willing to suffer for the greater good. So we are going to make some cuts-
Poor people, we are going to cut food stamps, Medicaid, family services (including Planned parenthood), HEAP, and many if not all other programs that you use.
Teachers, social workers, Police, firemen - we will be cutting your numbers, pay and benefits.
Students (and parents of students), we will be cutting financial aid (and of course the above mentioned teachers).
Veterans, we will be cutting veteran services, health care and mental health assistance.
Disabled people, we will be cutting support services and staff used to provide those services.
Senior citizens, we will be cutting social security and Medicare, along with assisted living support and the above mentioned HEAP.
And finally, for the wealthy, we will be cutting your taxes. Everyone has to give up something in these trying times.
Signed,
The GOP
P.S. for our corporate friends, we will not just cut your taxes, but also cut many of those rules and regulations also. We appreciate your sacrifice.

Another Teabagger Who Doesn't Understand the Constitution
Merry Hyatt has found allies in her quest to put an initiative on the ballot next year requiring public schools to play Christmas carols.
Hyatt, who moved to Redding four months ago, said she joined the Redding Tea Party Patriots and recruited several members to help her collect the 433,971 signatures needed by March 29.
.....
"Bottom line is Christmas is about Christmas," said Erin Ryan, president of the Redding Tea Party Patriots. "That's why we have it. It's not about winter solstice or Kwanzaa. It's like, 'wow you guys, it's called Christmas for a reason.' "
.....
"I have two words to say about Ms. Hyatt's proposal: blatantly unconstitutional," said Rob Boston, senior policy analyst for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which is based in Washington, D.C., and has a local chapter in Sacramento.
These misguided idiots! Public schools are not religious schools. They are not there to promote one religion over another. They are there to teach our kids. It's time for responsible and sensible parents to stand up and say don't try to force stuff like this and Intelligent Design. Intelligent Design is nothing than an attempt to have religion taught under the guise of pseudo-science.
If these people really want to help kids who come from backgrounds in which violence, drugs, and alcoholism abounds, they need to go into those neighborhoods and be mentors to them.
There were two holidays Erin Ryan did not mention that occur during this time of year: the Islamic New Year and Chanukah. This is why so many businesses use the term Season's Greetings.
People really need to wake up and learn what the Tea Party really stand for. It is not a grass-roots organization that wants to uphold the Constitution. It is one that wants it distorted to meet their religious goals. It is an affront to our founding fathers who fought and struggled to make sure that those in the minority would not have their rights trampled upon.
