Rand Paul: Racist & a Tea Party Activist.
Rand Paul, the GOP nomination for the US Senate in Kentucky..recently made some troubling comments. Comments that basically say his views have racist undertones. Rand Paul is a favorite of the 'Tea Party' (the old white people party that are also racist) and is the son of Ron Paul.
Get this. When asked if he supports a private business that refuses to serve an African-American...he said YES. Of course the answer came with some typical I'm not a racist babble...but you call a duck, a duck. He's claiming that he doesn't want to infringe on anyone's free speech...even racist ones. Hmmm. Interesting. I guess he only chooses to read the parts of the Constitution that can be twisted to support his views and beliefs.
Rand Paul...you are a racist that does not deserve to hold any type of public office. Tea Party activists are nothing but trouble and you know what? The Tea Party show signs that they are also a group of racist hateful people that are looking to take away freedom.
Was Austin plane crash pilot a Tea Bagger?
We all see those 'Tea Bag' party people spewing their weak message. "NO MORE TAXES"...sure, we all hate to pay taxes. But, have they not been living in the US for their whole lives? Every time I pass by a certain corner in my home town...there they are. I'd say there is usually around 10 of them. Holding the signs...some against taxes...other claiming Obama is pushing Socialism. What a bunch of uninformed cry babies. First of all...we already have some Socialism in our society. They have been around for decades..some almost since the birth of our nation. If these 'Tea Baggers' gave their cause a hard look...they would see it too.
-The US Postal Service. This has been around for so long...I'm sure most of the Tea Baggers don't remember a time without it. Sure...it's struggling financially, but everyone uses this service. EVERYONE. The 'Tea Baggers' even use it. It's a government run, low-cost service for all US Citizens. Hmmm.
-Social Security. Wow. This one was really controversial when it first passed. But now, everyone expects it. Most of the 'Tea Baggers' are even collecting it. They even complain that the money might run out. It's a 'tax' that everyone that works pays into...and collects upon retirement. Hmmm...sounds a lot like a government run retirement plan to me.
-The Military. Ok...I know for a fact that every 'Tea Bagger' expects to be defended from any outside force against the US. Hello? The military branches are government run agencies funded by taxes.
-Your local police department. You mean that the 'Tea Baggers' expect not to have local police to protect them?
-Your local fire department. Yup. The fire department is another government run agency funded by taxes.
-Education. (K - 12 Grade). Ok....some people can afford to send their kids to private school...and some public schools really stink. But we still have the option for public education that is paid for through taxes.
-The highway system. Almost all roads in the US are public 'free' roads that are funded through taxes. From the Interstate systems...so your own street in the front of your church and house.
-Medicare/Medicade. I don't even have to tell you it is tax driven.
These are just a few of the services we all pay for through taxes and expect the government to supply. Adding healthcare seems to be the next step in our evolution. If not 'free' healthcare...at least overhaul the process to make it easier for people to get coverage. A strong civilization has to look out for the health of it's citizens.
Now on to the Austin plane crash this past week. The pilot fought with his family...then took his private plane and crashed it into an office building in Austin. It is the same complex that houses an IRS office. The note he left behind (a suicide note), said that he was mad at the government and IRS for his taxes and they ruined his life. Hmmm. I wonder if this pilot was part of the 'Tea Bagger' movement. I wonder if these Tea Baggers are gong to start to do these minor acts of terrorism. I wouldn't put it past them. Just look at what they are doing now. It's one thing to be a fiscal 'conservative'...but when you take extremist views and throw in religious preachings and social 'conservative' views...it's a recipe for disaster.
