Tea Party
So many things here on the blog and in the general media take on a pessimistic tone these days, so when I went to the Tea Party rally on tax day this past Thursday, my mind started to wander. I got a little drunk on the whole vibe (man).
I had never been surrounded by so many people who loved, lived, breathed, and sucked up liberty as their life force, ever in my whole life. There was probably a couple of thousand real middle class workers who listened and cheered speakers from the Tea Party as they spoke about our plans for a velvet revolution.
Yeah, most of the folk were white, and coupled up, but there were a smattering of blacks, gay looking peeps, mis-fits, fits, a few homeless looking people (I had no change...damn!) all of them citizens gone wild, clapping and yelling and yaying as the platform people spoke about taking back the country from our minders in ObamaLand.
They all knew what I knew. That we never gave it to them to wreck in the first place. No one that I knew, even those who voted for Our Dear Leader either out of disgust for the Republican lies and spendthriftery, or who thought "hey give this guy a chance...he can't be worse than Bush" believed we could go so far down, away, and out of the orbit of the Constitution so fast. But boy, did we!
Meanwhile back at the ranch, I was sucking up the rarefied air of liberty from all the people who loved liberty, appreciated capitalism as the only moral economic system (as the only one that does not require the use of force) and were not afraid to shout it from the roof tops. Gee whiz, if we'd only had some roof tops! I think there may have been some people there who understood the concept of individualism better then me (but how could that be!). For two hours on Thursday, I was living in a world of peaceful, freedom loving hoot and hollerin' regular like folks. Like in Mayberry.
BARNEY FOR PRESIDENT!
At least he was inept. That's where they go, you know. The ept have jobs and families, and run companies, and make money, love and peace. The inept like to govern the ept.
The best speaker by far was a middle aged black preacher from somewhere around here, who was UNAFRAID to take the President and his soldiers to task. He spoke like Martin Luther King, except better and more honestly. I wish he had said "free at last, free at last, great God all mighty, we're free at last"! I give him all props due him. And more black people, Jews (my people) gays, apoliticalites, hermaphrodites, and any and all who once thought that the state was the way to change people and that liberals were blessed by God, will follow him, us, to this November, and the next and the next, and the next. Until this little freedom movement that started in the 50's among conservatives and radical capitalists (libertarians) gets the country out of the clutches of the ones who hate what America once stood for, and deliver us back into the hands of the real Freedom Riders.
With liberty and justice for every one of us.
You don't think we can ever again have a free country? That it's too late for all that? Go to a Tea Party. We are a country of people who are finally sticking our heads up and out of our comfort holes and getting wise.
Get wise, dudes.
