This is beautiful (edited w/addition)

So, yeah, the "tea parties" were back this weekend...sorta.

Some East Tennesseans celebrate independence with tea parties

Saturday was round two for the 'Taxed Enough Already' or tea parties which are protests against big government spending and high taxes.

"This country was founded on independence. Small government, not big government," said Harriman tea partygoer Robert Briggs.

The first modern day tea party was held on Tax Day, April 15, in over 700 cities and was attended by hundreds of thousands of people.

"I really do appreciate the ones who showed up. Maybe people needed better directions? Who knows why not that many showed up?" [Tirita] Phillips said.

Emphasis mine.

"People are strapped. We have reached the breaking point. Everyone is going to be on welfare before it is all over with," Briggs added.

Remember that, the next time your puppetmaster starts talking about how he hopes our President fails.

ETA: Meanwhile, at an Anti-tax rally in Los Angeles...

[Victoria "UHF"] Jackson goes on to call for the impeachment of President Obama -- "There, I said it" -- then does a handstand on stage that she dedicates to the men and women of the U.S. military.

Surprisingly, it doesn't say on what grounds she called for our president to be impeached. Personally, I think one of the many ways in which the whole Clinton debacle backfired (not just on the Republicans, but on the country as a whole), is that it took impechment off the table for at least a generation.

If we didn't impeach George W. Bush (don't get me started)...we ain't gonna be impeaching nobody, nohow, no time soon.

But more importantly: Miss Jackson...do the words "We're not laughing with you, we're laughing at you," mean anything to you? No? I thought not.

Pity, really.
