Tea parties - give me a break
boortz.com ^ | 3/22/2009 | Neal Boortz

OK .. I'm going to make some people mad with this one, but would you folks please put this asinine "tea party" idea to rest? I'm just a wee-bit tired of hearing excited stories about people sending tea bags to their congressmen. Sorry ... but how LAME!

Not trying to rain on your parade .. but you're taking the easy way out here. "Hey, we're in a jam, but I DID something! I mailed a tea bag to my congressman! When the history of the 21st century is told I'm going to be right there because I mailed a tea bag!"

Over two hundred years ago young patriots dragged their naked feet down icy roads - leaving a trail of blood - to fight for independence. And you're sending tea bags. Put a tea bag in the mail and your job is done.

Oh Please Neal! When you become a leader then we’ll probably listen!

He’s right on the sending tea bags part.

BUT...

If we have an actual demonstration in my neck of the woods, I’ll show up for that.

Apparently he’s going to lead the charge up the white house steps with all guns blazing.

I agree the tea bags are stupid, we need to be sending condoms. As long s they are going to keep screwing us we need some protection.

Neal is pissed because we’re not on Lexington Green with our muskets yet but he fails to realize that it took a while before the abuse of King George had it’s full effect. Relax Neal, it’s the first act.

he has a nationally syndicated radio show, his own website and wrote several books. He doesn’t just post to FR threads...

Boortz. What I noticed about Boortz long ago was that there no line in the sand for him. He will continuously give up ground in order to compromise and accommodate.

I don't think he stands on principle for anything.

Gun/Ammo sales are up 50 % also...Tea is a distraction.

Symbolism . . . 3 years between the Tea Party (1773) and the REVOLUTION !

You don’t understand about protest, do you? We are trying to get thousands all across the country.

Tea party never worked for me. I come from the porn age and “teabag” has an entirely different meaning.

I understand what he is saying, but I know people who complain but aren't doing a darn thing. Two of them told me that they're afraid to send a letter because they are afraid of the government. Both of them normal, educated, middle-class people--what they said disturbs me.

As long as you are doing more today than you did yesterday, you are doing something. Voices have an impact once you get enough of them.

Hey, Neal ... we can’t vote yet. Perhaps you’d prefer we mail them tofu?

Sending the tea bags is only one of the things my community is doing. The little town I live in is having a Tea Party in town square on April the 15th.

Oh, Neal, go peddle your fag marriages and stay out of the tea bidness if you don’t like it.
What a twit he is.
