Anyone who thinks they can stay uninvolved in defeating the Tea Bagger Party(formally the Republican Party)is either a fool or has their head up their hinnie.This will affect ALL of us who are not millionaires and Fat Cats.It's time to start speaking out instead of thinking "everything will work out".Each one of you knows people like that,so do I.But we must reach out to them to convince them that they must take an active and INFORMED involvement.  I don't expect you to get punched in the head or a beating in an alley,as I have,for voicing the truth,just try to be less willing to let others spew the hate and falsehoods without rebuttal,tell a co worker you no longer want to hear their skewed perception of reality,refuse to dine at places who allow FOX News to be played,or at Walmart,your local Repair Shop or Tire Store.Ask that the channel be changed. This is not Free Speech it is Propaganda.
What is at stake is the very IDEA of America. Republicans ,with the help of some Blue Dog Democrats mostly voted out, brought us to this point and with no remorse have now turned their Party over to The Tea Party whose ideas have done more damage in the short time they have been around than could be imagined and have more still to come if we let them retain the seats they gained with their lies.They're Bullies and self righteous  ideologues packing heat and looking for trouble with anyone who disagrees with their narrow minded me me me views .You want to see kids in school stand up to Bullies when they see adults act as cowards letting the worst of our culture dictate the rules.Bigots,Racists,and Fanatics.Hate the Gays,revile the poor and disavow anyone who does not agree with them .That is the Republican Party today.The Tea Baggers
They call an American President Ignorant,a socialist,Muslim,appeaser who has no right to hold the office he was duly elected to, and swore they would do all they can to defeat him and his policies.Mitch McConnell #1 Job was "to make Obama a one term President".Don't reward their un American actions.I neither voted for nor cared much for Bush but when he was given the Presidency I gave him the respect that is due to the Office until he disrespected us with lies and squandered our surplus and invaded the wrong country in an unfunded war.
Tea Baggers are no better than the "Brown Shirts" of early Nazi Germany.They bullied and intimidated to advance their cause.

Let's be intellectually honest about the history of conservatism in this country:

Against America leaving British rule
Against emancipating the slaves
Against giving women the right to vote
Against implementing child labor laws
Against car manufacturers having to add seatbelts and crumple zones
Against tobacco companies having to warn anyone about their deadly products
Against the anti-littering campaign in the 70's
Against the formation of the EPA
Against outlawing lead in paints and pipes
Against workplace safety laws
Against the passing of the civil rights amendment
Against women working
Against BP suffering any punishment for killing 14 men and destroying the Gulf
Against bringing charges against Enron officers
Against bringing charges against the Massey mining officers
Against the implementation of food safety laws
Against the outlawing of asbestos

And this is BEFORE THE TEA PARTY

Thank you for allowing me this Rant,but it's more a plea to mobilize and let those you are in contact with know the future of Our Country is indeed at stake.
