The UGLY TRUTH

THE UGLY TRUTH

If you haven't watched this video, please do so before continuing, as my comments will make references to the statements made in it.

As a history buff, I take exception to Ms. Garofalo stating that we have no concept of history, or the reasons behind the Boston Tea Party. It was more than just a demonstration of dissent or disgust over "taxation without representation" (even though that is currently the case with this Congress), but apparently she read a different history book than the rest of us. And to state that this entire movement is based on "hating a black man in the White House" is ludicrous at best. To further state that we will believe anything but the truth, and when confronted with the "truth" we become confused and angry and highly volatile" is purely rubbish. It is THEY who will not accept the truth, this movement is one of non-violent demonstration intended to send a message to the current administration and Congress that we are tired of big government interfering with our lives, spending two and three times what is collected in revenues annually, stripping away the rights of our states, and us, as guaranteed by our Constitution and Bill of Rights, and flagging us as subversives, extremists, or domestic terrorists simply because we have the courage to stand up and say enough is enough!!

Why was it permissible for people like Ayers and Dorn and their associates, the Black Panthers, etc., to practice violent means in a desire to change the status quo, but we are targeted for practicing our rights of protest peacefully? Would she go so far as to call our Founding Fathers "rednecks", racists, bigots, or "white supremacists" for their stance against an oppressive government, and the actions they took? And because our "limbic brain" (more commonly called the limbic system, a system of functionally related neural structures in the brain that are involved in emotional behavior) is larger than normal? What absolute nonsense!! While it is true that the limbic system is slightly larger in women than in men, hence they tend to be a bit more emotional, to say that the several hundred thousand people (not "literally tens of people" as she stated) who attended the TEA parties are "afflicted" somehow shows her complete misunderstanding of brain function. She is an actress (though that is questionable after seeing her performances), an "activist", and wannabe reporter (having been rejected twice in her applications to FOX). She is NOT a doctor, a psychiatrist, a physiotherapist, or any other medical professional, so her making any factual, let alone believable, comment about what the makeup of anyone's brain is can only be laughable at best, and is an affront to all thinking people anywhere.

Excuse me? "Teabagging rednecks"? From wikipedia, "Teabagging" is a slang term for the act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth or on or around the face (including the top of the head) of another person, often in a repeated in-and-out motion as in irrumatio. The practice vaguely resembles dipping a tea bag into a cup of tea." Is she then saying that all rednecks are gay, or that they practice dominance over other men or women? I'm sure that would come as a real surprise to the fellas I know, and their ladies as well (most of which would knock anyone flat on their butts for even suggesting such a thing)!! And all this time I thought rednecks were against open homosexuality, or laws that give anyone special favors over the rest of us!! Now, I personally don't care if someone is gay, I just don't want it rubbed in my face like a lot of other minority issues. If there's a job to be done, and they can get it done, so what if they're gay, black, Hispanic, disabled or made of green cheese and turn orange in the sunlight? As long as they follow the laws, including coming into our country legally, and don't make a big stink about stuff that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, who cares? So who are they to equate our frustration with all of Washingtoon (no, that's not a typo, as our nation's capital is more like Looney Tunes everyday) with being gay? Or, for that matter, "rightwing extremism", or racism, bigotry or "white supremacy"?

There are many minorities who don't like who we have as a POTUS, including many blacks, because of his socialist tendencies, so to continue stating that we all hate the fact the "a black guy is in the White House" misses the point entirely. And to state openly that those minorities, which must include women, suffer from "Stockholm syndrome" (psychological response sometimes seen in abducted hostages, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger or risk in which they have been placed) only goes to prove that she also fails to understand the malady or psychological reflexes caused by it, or how it is implemented. Again, without proper medical training, she can only be considered to be talking out of the wrong end of her anatomy. Who is it that held these minority individuals hostage, or abused them? Who forced them to participate in the protests? Did they not attend out of a desire to exercise their freedom of speech, their right to gather, to seek redress from their government?

And Olberman's comment, "...they weren't near the cameras, which was bad strategy on the part of the people who were staging this at FOX." Pleeeeaaasssse!! FOX didn't stage anything, FOX attended to cover the protests, with Hannity even broadcasting his show from one site. The very fact that the rest of the MSM tried to ignore the fact that these protests were even being held shows their cowardice and lack of journalistic integrity, as well as their agendas. And if the minorities wanted to be near the cameras, they would have moved to a position in front of the cameras! That's what free people do, go where they want to go, something that Olberman, Garofolo, and the rest of the ultra-left-wingers will never understand or accept!! "FOX news loves to foment this anti-intellectualism, because that's their bread and butter. if you have a cerebral electorate, FOX News goes down the toilet, you know, very, very fast." (Does she mean like her career?) "That's why Roger Railes and Rupert Murdoch founded this venture, is to dis-inform (Did she mean misinform? Hmmm, lack of cerebral ability there?) and coarsen and dumb down a certain segment of the electorate." "...as I said, the Republican-the conservative movement has now crystallized into the white power movement." Talk about bigotry and racism! If you are a conservative, or a Republican, you are now a member of the white power movement? I'm sure that will surprise ALL of the conservative, Republican, Christian, free thinking minorities everywhere around this land, just as it surprises the majority of those Caucasians and mixed race (myself included) who fit that same mold!!

Back to the reference about us not knowing our history, or what the Boston Tea Party was all about. Over the last few months, Congress has passed spending legislation and bailed out the banks against the wishes of the majority of people in this country, that according to any number of different polls taken. If that isn't taxation without representation, I don't know what is, because they certainly weren't representing those who elected them and didn't want that legislation passed! The rest of the comments made by these two inane, self-proclaimed experts are so revolting that I won't continue to state my objections to their very way of thinking, for to do so might actually legitimize their ideology to those who follow and support that belief. Rather, I will address the title I have chosen for this post, "The Ugly Truth". That truth is that is you disagree with their ideology, or with the direction the current POTUS (PINO) and Congress are leading this nation, you will be branded a bigot, racist, anti-intellectual, white supremacist (or Uncle Tom or Oreo if you are black, and a dozen other similar references if you are of any other race), anti-government, subversive, domestic terrorist, Klansman, or any number of other derogatory and inflammatory slurs. And what is it that will bring down their wrath? If you believe in your First Amendment, Second Amendment, or Tenth Amendment rights (For that matter, if you believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights). If you oppose another amnesty, or believe that "illegal" immigration is just that, illegal. If you are against abortion, gay marriage, higher taxes, more Federal government control, Federal interference in private industry, reaching out to enemies like Castro, Chavez, Ahmenijhad, Hezbollah, Hamas, or changing our monetary system. If you are for capitalism and against socialism, support Israel, question the "Patriot Acts", or the "GIVE Act", the "Serve America Act", "TARP", or any of the hundreds of cost-ineffective, overburdening legislation that gets passed every year by those elected to represent us. If you want a "Fair Tax", any reasonable version of a consumption tax, or would like to see a balanced budget amendment. You don't have to believe in all of them, just one is enough to get you labeled as a "right-wing extremist". But if you happen to believe in more than one, you can expect to be targeted if the government finds out over the next few months. Even if you're a Democrat, or a member of any party who openly speaks out against the same things you believe in.

How do we combat it? Stay focused. Keep to the message. Help schedule a TEA Party in your community for July 4th, or work with the organizers of those being held nearby. Encourage others to attend. Get and stay informed. Maintain a constant attitude of respect, even in the face of name callers or agitators. Be respectful at all times when attending any event intended to further our desires toward setting this nation back on the right course. Create signage that is direct and to the point, but not any more derogatory than necessary. Let's try to have two million people participate in the next TEA Party, and five million in the one after that!! But whatever you do,

WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!

WE'RE BEING SOLD DOWN THE RIVER!!!

WE CANNOT ALLOW PEOPLE LIKE THE TWO IN THIS VIDEO TO GET THEIR WAY IF WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE FREE!!!



P.S. Remember how those in Congress actually voted on all the spending bills, and those bills intended to usurp our freedoms. We know they will be chanting that they didn't support them come time for the primaries next year. We need to vote them out in favor of those who will support our ideals. It's time to take our government back and return it to a system "of the people, by the people, and for the people"!!!
