Are We Protesting Ourselves?
How much of the Tea Party protests are directed towards our government for their bloated and dangerous "stimulus" bill, and how much are directed towards our fellow Americans; you know, the ones who decided to live a Lexus lifestyle on a Kia salary?
Those of "us" that choose to live a Lexus life on a Kia salary (or better yet, a Schwinn salary), but are willing to eventually pay the price for it (i.e., bankruptcy, loss of assests, the resultant poverty) at least understand the idea of American liberty. They're just not effective at taking advantage of it.
Those who choose to live the Lexus life on the Kia salary and then expect me, I mean, the rest of us to pay for it are the ones subverting liberty -- the ones we must fight against. Dare I call them the enemy?
