What the heck is going on here John, besides the obvious?

John F. Kerry · 01-06-2011, 12:03 PM

what do u mean? nothing, besides the obivous..

but after 4 years of "we do what we want and these redneck retards who dont support us can go cling to their guns and religion" its nice to have a congress that starts things off by reading the document which gives them 100% of their power, and to remind them of who they are and what they are there to do...

**SageTree** · 01-06-2011, 12:11 PM

I mean it's obvious what they are reading.....

I suppose my questions are:

Do they do this every day?
Or
Just for some show on PBS?

John F. Kerry · 01-06-2011, 12:17 PM

no its the start of the new congress so they're reading the constitution....

pbs is just rebroadcasting it, it was on cspan which plays all the stuff that happens in the senate and house all the time.

**SageTree** · 01-06-2011, 12:27 PM

So they don't usually do this then is what you are saying?

It's kind of a history making time in America. We have our first black president take office, and now we have our first orange speaker of the house. What next? Our first mentally challenged president in 2012?

It's pronounced "boner" by plenty but not by the orangeman himself.

**SageTree** · 01-06-2011, 02:13 PM

Boner you say?

Politics would be cool if everyone had to run w/ their porn alias.....

The Rev · 01-06-2011, 02:18 PM

Yeah, unfortunately it's pronounced "Bay-ner" but hey, it's a free country. Pronounce it "fuckstick" if you like.

Our Forefathers Speak from their graves...

Turns out our Forefathers DID have the foresight to see an occasion where their Checks and Balances on the Federal Government – between the Executive, the Congress and the Supreme Court – were NOT sufficient to keep the nation safe from what Benjamin Franklin warned:

"Sir, there are two passions which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice—the love of power and the love of money. Separately, each of these has great force in prompting men to action; but, when united in view of the same object, they have, in many minds, the most violent effects. Place before the eyes of such men a post of honor, that shall, at the same time, be a place of profit, and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it."

Tea Bag Protesters Need A History Lesson

The idea behind the law was that lower taxes meant lower prices, which meant the East India Company would sell boatloads of more tea in America. Sounds like a precursor to supply-side Reaganomics, to me. So, to solve the economic crisis impending with the collapse of a major global corporation, Britain passed a major tax cut. Which, ironically, is the exact same solution being proposed by conservative tea bag revolutionaries today.

The colonists, as we know, weren't too happy with the tea. They invented a slogan to justify their opposition ("No taxation without representation"), but the practical and pressing thing against which they protested was that the lifting of the duty undercut a growing merchant class in America, whose profitable business in tea was severely undercut. So political activists, led by LIBERALS such as Sam Adams, organized the Sons of Liberty and boycotted the English tea. When the British ships actually landed in Boston Harbor, they then carried out their famous protest.

This is a major whoops for Glen Beck (et. al.). It turns out that they are politically more in line with King George III than with the American patriots and the Sons of Liberty. The Tea Baggers of today are emulating a protest AGAINST a corporate tax cut by SUPPORTING tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. Additionally, King George opposed a corporate bailout loan, as do the Tea Baggers. Finally, these "revolutionaries" are buying their tea bags from the corporations, rather than just pilfering them. Maybe this is why Glen Beck, with crocodile-tear stained face to prove his sincerity, closed his show the other day by saying, "Believe in something, even if it's wrong. Believe in it!"
