"Tea Party rattles America's educated class"
[
WASHINGTON–Barely a week into a new decade that will redefine America's place in
the world, the feisty yet fractious Tea Party movement is readying its next
brew.

A landmark Tennessee convention in early February is aimed at transforming a
year of caffeinated conservative rage into a political force to make heads roll.

Sarah Palin will serve as pourer-in-chief, guaranteeing the firebrand former
Alaska governor a bully pulpit from which to bash President Barack Obama. Who,
in this instance, will be a victim of terrible timing, as Palin's critique is
scheduled hard on the heels of Obama's State of the Union speech.

Reynolds, an expert in Greek philosophy, was shocked to discover the book laden
with misquoted citations of Plato and Aristotle – the result, he is almost
certain, of a lazy attempt by the author (or ghostwriter) to quote-mine Google,
to make Palin sound smart.

Oh sure, history if chock full of intellectuals who lost their
fortunes spending other people's money, huh?

Like they don't see this coming?

Freedom isn't free, and it can't be bought.

Your post is a bunch of media physcho babble with no grounds in
reality, addresses no concerns of the opposition, and is designed to
censor the viewpoint of the opposition by the marginalizing the
legitimate concerns of the people by reflecting the position that
leaders in the Democrat party are choosing to stick their heads in the
sand (or are told to by others).

You should drink some more coffee in the Palin War Room, the caffeine
jitters will help keep you warm during that Global Al Gore Hoax
thingy.

Good Day!

We LOVE YOU!

(real crap snipped for your reading pleasure)

OK, for once I agree with you, freedom isn't free.

But you ultra-right wingers never thought you should pay a dime. You
took tax cut after tax cut as your right. And as the debt increased
every years you cheered. So if freedom isn't free, why aren't you
willing to pay for it?

Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its
best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an
intolerable one.
--Thomas Paine


That government is best which governs least.
--Thomas Paine


To say that any people are not fit for freedom, is to make poverty
their choice, and to say they had rather be loaded with taxes than
not. Every time you cut programs, you take away a person who has a
vested interest in high taxes and you put him on the tax rolls and
make him a taxpayer. A farmer on subsidies is part welfare bum,
whereas a free-market farmer is a small businessman with a gun.
--Grover Norquist


I am favor of cutting taxes under any circumstances and for any
excuse, for any reason, whenever it's possible.
--Milton Friedman


I am opposed to any individual taxes until we eliminate all of
the unconstitutional agencies, and I suspect we wouldn't need a tax
after that.
--Michael Badnarik


It was the king's army, the king's people, the king's taxes; and
he who questioned the propriety of the royal prerogative of taking
from his people without return or accounting, was reckoned, and felt
himself to be, a criminal, guilty of the highest crime of disloyalty.
--John Buchanan Robinson


Rulers do not reduce taxes to be kind. Expediency and greed
create high taxation, and normally it takes an impending catastrophe
to bring it down.
--Charles Adams


The legal right of a taxpayer to decrease the amount of what
otherwise would be his taxes, or altogether avoid them, by means
which the law permits, cannot be doubted.
--George Sutherland


The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't
get worse every time Congress meets.
--Will Rogers


Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays
out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.
--H. L. Mencken


We have a system that increasingly taxes work and subsidizes
nonwork.
--Milton Friedman


We're going to look awfully stupid if we give income tax relief
to people who do not pay income taxes.
--Joe Scarborough


What I want to do is create more taxpayers, not more taxes.
--Geoff Davis


What the Democrats don't seem to understand is that higher taxes
mean fewer American jobs and less American production.
--Lynn Westmoreland


You don't pay taxes - they take taxes.
--Chris Rock


You know, the Democrats want to balance the budget by raising
spending and raising taxes. The Soviet Union had a balanced budget.

Common misconception. Freedom actually is free. However, corporate
welfare, unlimited government, no bid contracts, unnecessary bull****
wars, Exxon Mobil subsidies, forced healthcare payments, Elint
Satellites and global snooping capabilities for multiple government
agencies are hugely expensive. They're charging you through the nose
for the cost of your own enslavement, constantly demanding more and
acting magnanimous about it all every step of the way.

"The idea of government is to break your legs, give you a pair of
crutches, parade you in front of a camera and proudly announce that
"This man couldn't walk without us."

--Harry Browne
