HAYYYYY!! OK ........ Today, I continued to see the above video on all of my favorite blogs, including Joe.My.God and Americablog. So, I finally took a few minutes and watched the whole thing. Then I watched the video again. And again with another person. AND STILL, I can not completely understand what these "tea-baggers," are upset about and more importantly, what message are they are trying to send?
Apparently, these men, women and children do not approve of Obama; spend a great deal of time shopping at Wal-Mart; and are completely terrified that the country is going socialist, communist and fascist all at the same time! According to one gentleman in the video, these ideologies are inter-changeable, which would have been big news to Stalin, Hitler and Hirohito.
Now even though I have watched this video several times [and still do not understand "the message"], I firmly believe in the tea-bagger's right to speak and demonstrate -- peacefully. BUT YOU KNOW ME, I have some questions ........
1. Did Wal-Mart have a sell on t-shirts with printed messages? Everybody is wearing some type of "statement" t-shirt, which they then cover with buttons, stickers, and lanyards.
2. One of their slogans is "Stop The Insanity!" I thought that cheer/slogan/logo was trade marked by fitness guru Susan Powter! Remember ol' Susan and her Sinead O'Connor bald head?
3. Why is there someone protesting abortion? How do you mix in Obama, Healthcare, and Kanye's apology to Taylor Swift with abortion?
4. From the video, there appeared to be many people that attended this rally in DC. Probably not as many who attended Diana Ross' rained out concert in Central Park, but still enough for there to be a heavy rental bill on Port-O-Potties. Anyway, couldn't the interviewer [who actually is incredible and patient] find at least 10 people who knew what is actually stated in the healthcare proposals? No one seemed to know - and admitted to this! Besides an over-riding "anger" at Obama [and a dismay, I'm sure, that Toby Keith was not performing], what are these people protesting?
5. However, I did like the woman who worked in health care for many years. The reporter should have just interviewed her .. maybe then I could understand what is going on.
6. I think that Nancy Reagan will be greatly, greatly hurt, that all of her hard work on the "Just Say No" Campaign was wasted on these protesters. Why would Nancy feel this way? Because no one knew Ronnie had appointed a Drug Czar! Nancy was pressured into choosing some "cause" during her second term -- she couldn't just lunch with Frank and wear Galanos everyday -- and relunctantly agreed to champion kids away from drugs. Does anyone remember her appearance on DIFFERENT STOKES, when she warned Arnold? Meanwhile, Patti Reagan posed nude for Playboy.
7. As I watched the video one last time, a key phrase became crystal clear, "You know this how?"
Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice ........
