Rick Santelli and the Chicago Tea Party

Do you feel like common sense is dead? Ever wonder where rational thought went? Are you disgusted by the media's fuzzy math and their obsession about a "great depression" currently consisting of 7.5% unemployment and 94% of homeowners paying on time. Does the rhetoric seem hopelessly stupid to you?

I've been so upset the last three weeks I can't even watch the news anymore. Almost nothing you hear is true. Journalism is dead. Lies are truth and truth are lies. It takes some serious energy to continually listen to leaders pontificating about what a "crisis" we are in. It is downright exhausting if you ask me, not to mention exceedingly bleak. Where are the positive "change I can believe in" comments from our new President? Where are the positive "it all takes a village" speeches we heard during the campaign? All I hear now are the daily drumbeats of "crisis" and "catastrophe." Most importantly, where were the tough questions from the media cesspool about the President's fuzzy math?

Here's my simple question for President Obama.

"Mr. Obama, please explain this math for me. $1 trillion dollars divided by the four million jobs you say will be created is $250,000 a job. Could I just spend the $250,000 myself?"

How would President Obama have responded to Helen Thomas if she asked this question instead of her, "what are you going to do about the SO CALLED terrorists in the Middle East" which wasn't really a question but rather a political statement about the policies of the previous administration.

Printed words don't elicit the same visceral emotions that a passionate, principled man laying it all out on the line does, and so I leave you with this five minute video from YouTube. A video stirring up a hornets nest of emotion from the silent majority in this country. A silent majority sick of the irrational, nonsensical, gibberish of an administration intent on using a serious situation for political gain. I think we do need a Chicago Tea Party and we need it quickly before another generation grows up to appreciate government more than individual freedoms.




Tell me...doesn't listening to this man make you feel alive again? What emotions does this evoke in you? Rick Santelli gives me some fleeting hope that's the greatest system in the world even with all its problems (CAPITALISM) isn't dead yet.
