So they had a tea party in my neck of the woods yesterday
Edited on Sun Jul-05-09 10:33 PM by DainBramaged
Mostly over 50 and WHITE, pasty WHITE, and old, lots of OLD people (like me) who if they live in the area of the tea party, are pretty well off. You see, Morristown, the hub of Morris COUNTY NJ, is one of the wealthiest, Rethug counties in the US of A. And these OLD, pasty WHITE tea baggers (refer to the pictures at the link) were bitchin and moaning about how badly President Obama is treating them (they really are racist pigs)



About 500 of these brave OLD WHITE Americans showed up to give Obama what for. And you know what, they make me laugh. How many MILLIONS turned out in the Tri-State area to protest Dickweed Booshe. And all they can muster is 500 OLD WHITE Rethugs.

Pathetic.


An (iced) Tea Party on the Morristown Green


The Morristown Independence Day Tea Party got lucky with the weather, and featured a string of veterans and politicians to decry what they see is a tax burden that has grown too heavy.

"You are not alone if you are shocked by the bailouts, deficit spending and the non-stimulus stimulus packages," thundered Rich Luzzi, a Sparta resident who is the organization's president.


"As government grows, your freedom recedes," he said.

Membership in the Tea Party group is free - if you attend three meetings, you're a member - said Jefferson resident and group member Peter Glenn. The roster numbers about 70.

The crowd, largely over 50 and white, sported posters proclaiming "Born Free, Taxed to Death,"Stop Spending My Money," and "Cut the Pork." Some wore tea bags on their hats. One police officer estimated attendance at close to 500. He said the spring event held on April 15-- Tax Day-- drew about 750.

County Republicans waiting to speak: State Assemblyman Rick Merkt, 25th district, State Sen. Anthony Bucco Sr., Republican assembly candidate, 25th district Anthony Bucco Jr., and Republican mayoral candidate Jim Gervasio.

1. Yep
It's just another way to be racist fuckheads. Looks like the teabagging party I drove by yesterday. Beer bellies and wife-beater T'shirts.
ALL white older folk.
Wonder how they would feel if someone took away those socialist programs called Medicare and Social Security?

3. I guess it is time to tell these Fat Old White Selfish
People that since they don't want to pay taxes, they don't have any business sending their fat selfish ignernt grandchildren to the public schools WE pay for, or call the cops we pay for or the fire department we pay for or expect protection from our Army,Navy,AirForce,Marines, and Coast Guard WE Pay for.
Then there are the Roads and other infrastructure our taxes pay for...

7. There must be no criticism of the president in a time of war
And protesting against your country on July 4th is the moral equivalent of writing a check to bin Laden.

Freedom of speech must not be abused.

Anyone who doesn't like the way President Obama is running this nation is free to take up residence elsewhere.

Wait, they are too stupid now...........

I've asked many an old Rethug around here where were they when Booshe was fucking up the country, and they said he didn't fuck up anything. These people are just bat-shit crazy. Thank GOD they won't be in control for another generation.

"Mark Sanford, John Ensign, Sarah Palin, there's your Family values folks, you all must be so proud".

24. If stupid were a grain of sand this assfist would be a beach.
We pay 3% of income tax and the wealthier members pay the other 136%? I'm stunned. STUNNED, I TELL YOU!

Not at his stupid math, mind you, but the fact that he thinks raising taxes on the wealthy to that much would be a BAD thing. They need to be raised MORE than that if we're ever going to get out of this shitpile.

Morristown used to be a liberal stronghold, and a haven for the underprivileged and minorities. In the last decade, the Pukes gentrified the area, but since only 500 showed up for this 'party' I'd say the Pukes in NJ have given up.

You're probably right -- it may be a ploy to generate local business. :shrug:

Nevertheless, I am not going to patronize stores that pander to wacko wingnuts, regardless of the reason. :rant:

I'll go around the corner to SmartWorld Coffee, which is owned by left-leaning, principled folks:
