It is time for the Son of Liberty to be reborin in this country, or what was “this country”.

I nominate the entire Democrat Rules Committee be a priority for the new Sons of Liberty.

Let hot tar wash their throats and may it flow freely.

I just called his office demanding a personal apology but could not get through. So here is the email I sent:

I am writing because I saw Congressman McDermott's speech on the House floor yesterday. I demand personal apology for being called a "teabagger" (which, if you know what the term means, is like being called a c**t, whore, or mother f****r) and for being called selfish because, apparently, the 49% of my income that goes to government at all levels isn't generous enough for Con. McDermott.

Here's a philosophical question: How much of your life is owned by government? How much can government demand, 10%, 20%, 100%? At what point are you a slave? Con. McDermott thinks he's the boss of me. He thinks he owns me. If he had his way he would be riding around in a golden sedan chair while I worked in the rice field and begged him for a scrap of bread. How do I know? Because the bill he is voting on today exempts him, that's how.

Except the version I sent to the Honorable Congressman didn't have the asterisks in it.

Let’s try that again. The italics didn’t work for me. Here’s the email to McDermott:

Oh, and I sent the letter with the subject: “Civil Rights.” Next I think I’ll call the news media and demand an apology from him.

We’re selfish and greedy? The Democrats keep spending more and more of our money to get themselves re-elected. They’re the ones who a selfish and greedy. Meanwhile, our once great nation is a broke debtor and on its way to being a second-rate power.

I feel sorry for this poor arrogant man. He misunderstands that when Jesus asks us to care for the poor, the children, and the widows, He is asking us as individuals. If forced by a government to perform these acts of charity, you are no longer performing charity but providing the lawmaker with salve for his guilty conscience. When he stands before God and declares all that he did for God and arrogantly quotes scripture, as he did in this video from the floor of congress, God will say “Depart from me, I never knew you”

Rep. Jim McDermott (D-emonrat): "They are simply selfish and greedy."...so bizarre - those who want to control their own money, earned by the sweat of their brow or the fret of their brain, are selfish and greedy - those who want to help themselves to that money to fund their utopian and/or self-serving schemes aren't - I don't believe most people are taken in by that nonsense any more......

did he actually use the word ‘teabagger’?

For if he did - that should go viral =

It’s a nasty term - and just because he’s a democrat shouldn’t make it ‘just fine”

Yes, I remember McDermott making a trip to Saddam in Iraq with a couple of other House 'Rats c. 2002. He should have stayed there with his Iraqi buddies until the war started.

The man is demented, claiming that Limbaugh, Malkin, and Beck are the leaders of the GOP, which only proves that McDermott is jealous and fearful of the power of what little anti-left media still remains.

"They are simply selfish and greedy."

Guilty.

But not as guilty as McDermott & Co. who want everything they have and everything I have too. I would leave McDermott alone, but he refuses to extend the same courtesy to me.

Call McDermott a feltcher (and all others who use the term teabagger). If you look it up, you might find a different meaning than the one I use as anti-tea partier. Any other disgusting definitions notwithstanding, I mean anti-tea partier.
