The party's over for whining 'patriots' (barf alert)
South Bend Tribune ^ | August 25, 2009 | Marjory Wood Crawford

Posted on 08/25/2009 3:47:00 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

I have yet to read an intelligent letter from the Tea Party "patriots" on the subject of health care reform in America.

The Tea Party patriots use slogans, appear together in mob mentality using sound bites from the Big Three — Limbaugh, Hannity and Drudge (WLS/890 AM hate radio).

Universal health care reform in America is a fact of our lives. It is going to happen and our taxes will pay for it. Our taxes pay for everything. That is how it is in a free country. That is the cost of freedom and everything else in America. Tea Partyers, get over it and become real patriots and stop whining.

What do you want to bet that Majory doesn’t pay any taxes?

“I have yet to read an intelligent letter from the Tea Party “patriots”

Well, your own letter doesn’t say anything, either. How do you justify spending money we don’t have on “universal health care” when we’re running a $9 trillion dollar deficit?

This woman says be patriotic, pay taxes. Well, we do pay taxes, and I’m fed up with Democrats spending my money to buy votes, so that they can stay in office in perpetuity. I don’t believe she has the first clue about patriotism.

Sorry. Mr. Madison commented about many things that could destroy or damage irreversibly our Republic, but the two chaps who DID comment on your specific point are usually held to be Alexander Tyler and Alexis deTocqueville.

In any case, all three of them were correct, as we are now seeing. In Panavision and Technicolor.

Drudge had one a few years ago, if I remember right it was only on Sundays though, and late at night. His show ended back in Sept. 2007.

I remember it because back in the day on Sunday nights he had links to his streaming live radio show on the top of the Drudge Report site.

Zaba search shows two addresses for her.

Wonder if she voted from both of them?

"It is going to happen and our taxes will pay for it. Our taxes pay for everything. That is how it is in a free country. That is the cost of freedom..." the letter to the editor.

Taking money from one group of people against their will to give to other people who have done nothing to deserve it is "freedom"?

No, Taking money from one group of people against their will to give to other people who have done nothing to deserve it ... is SLAVERY!!! (If taking more that 10% taxes)

Public school grad no doubt.

Wow. I'll bet there are quite a few intelligent, articulate freepers who graduated from public schools and even public universities.

Top 50 % pay 95% of taxes. Top 1% pays more than the bottom 95% combined.

Your servant, sir or madam. It’s just NOT very difficult to get historical quotes correct; after all — Google and assorted similar dildoes aside — if they said it, they SAID it (or, perhaps, wrote it, depending on the particular quote).

“Suppose you were an idiot. And, suppose you were a member of Congress...but, I repeat myself.” — Samuel Clemens

LOL! Don't you just LOVE her absolute surety that this will happen? The Democrats might find a way to vote it in, but they won't have the opportunity to cement it in place before their behinds are voted OUT of Congress and quite possibly the majority in 2010.

“Our taxes pay for everything. That is how it is in a free country.”

Amazing, and sad. Hard to have a rational discussion when the words don’t mean the same thing to the various parties involved. I’m guessing that somewhere in her pea-sized brain the idea of “freedom” is shortened to “free” and then morphs into “I don’t have to pay for it free”.

I would be interested in seeing just one example of a “soundbite from DRUDGE”. Hannity, Limbaugh, etc make statements frequently which lend themselves to soundbites, but Drudge? All he does is offer a website which links to other sites on the web.
