Tax revolt fits NYers to a 'Tea'

They're not your father's rednecks.

Take heart, New Yorkers. As you stand on line today mailing your tax returns to Uncle Sam, you might run into a crowd of fellow citizens at the post office -- folks as angry and freaked out as you. They call themselves the Tea Party.

They've also been dubbed rednecks, racists, terrorists and fringe freaks of the KKK. Scary. Well, Tea Partiers are soon to be called something altogether different:

The majority.

"A year ago, we were ignored. Now we're being maligned -- so that's progress," said Lisa O'Neill, 53, coordinator for the Manhattan-based Tea Party 365. And a Democrat to boot. She's helping organize a Tax Day protest at the James A. Farley post office at Eighth Avenue and 33rd Street.

Do not be surprised as many you would never expect sell out to Socialism. It happens every time. I have friends who escaped it in Cuba on rafts and they tell me they recognize Obama as a Castro type. They are scared to death of him.

The socialist experiment is a dismal failure. Did anyone expect anything different? ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!

I was there and served as a marshal. There were about 5 or 6 morons carrying pre-printed signs. They tried to incite a fight but no one bit. There was probably about 3 to 4k patriots on hand.

First they ignore you.
Then they ridicule you.
Then they attack you.
Then you win.
