I Was Libertarian Before It Was Cool

I've been watching a lot about these ant-tax tea parties lately and I got some steam to let off (for those who only buy their tea already made, that was a really horrible tea joke). Anyway, I guess some of these neo-con Republicans couldn't swallow defeat and had to wash it down with some tea (slightly better joke). Only problem is, THEY'RE CRASHIN' THE LIBERTARIAN'S TEA PARTY! That's right, by right, it's our party and we didn't invite them. Why aren't Republicans and Libertarians both against taxes and spending. Well, sort of. See the thing is that Libertarians ARE against taxes and spending, but Republicans JUST SAY they're against taxes and spending.

Before Obama was elected, all these Republicans that are now jumping on the anti-tax and anti-spend bandwagons were supporting big spending Republicans. Why? It was because these big spending Republicans were for "family values" and were for "defeating terrorists" and to most of these people, that was their main concern at the time. I'm sure that some of the people who supported them didn't like all that spending, but the thought of leaving Iraq, not securing an impossible to secure border, and not supporting a Christian nation was far more important that not ruining their kids' financial future. Sure, they cut taxes for the rich, but THEY INCREASED SPENDING! Spending is the big issue here. Taxes suck, but they aren't near as bad as they could be; however, spending is digging our grave. The real problem is we're going to have to pay off all this insane debt we've collected...because BOTH the Democrats and Republicans became corrupt with power and didn't know when to stop. They would spend our tax dollars on everything from bridges to nowhere, to (two) wars, to researching how global warming affects squirrels fucking.

Some of these people saying that the major issue now is cutting spending and reducing taxes actually laughed at Ron Paul when he was running for president and brought up these issues over a year ago. He saw this stuff coming from years back and tried to bring it to everyone's attention while the rest of Washington spent like they had an endless supply of cash. For God's sake, they're still spending like they got an endless supply! Now, the Republicans realize they were wrong. I'll be damned if any of them admit it, but I know, that they know, they fucked up. Do they do the responsible and smart thing and rally around the only guy among them that saw this disaster coming? Did any of them suggest that maybe Ron Paul should lead their party from now on. No, they just change their tune and make it seem like they were all libertarians all along. They're just the same, stupid, big spending leaders they always were, just now they're disguised in libertarian clothing. It makes me sick!

If you're trying to suck up and get the libertarian vote next time around, think again. You'll have to do better than that. The first thing you need to do is repent for your sins. I want to hear you say, "I was wrong. Ron Paul and the libertarians were right. We aren't going to waste time on wars and keeping gays from getting married. There are more important things and really, those were stupid things anyway. We aren't going to try to build an expensive wall along the border that will never work. We will stop the drug war that never works. We aren't going to give money to every company coming along looking for a handout. We're not just going to lower taxes for the rich, but for everybody. We're going to acknowledge that not everyone in this country is a Christian that thinks like we do and they deserve to live free from forced religious beliefs, just like everyone else. Christians don't need a country that supports their religion to believe in God and Jesus and practice good morals and raise a good family. All we need is a country to let us all be free to practice what we will as long as we aren't harming someone else without their consent. We're going to end the federal reserve and end the income tax. Most of all, we're not going to spend anything. Sure, we'll have to pay off that mess we helped create, but I'm going to take all my campaign contributions and prove that I'm a true patriot and pay off this debt that my political party has helped create over the years."

After you say that, I still won't vote for you, but I will forgive you. Oh, and one more thing; don't show up at a tea party waving your neo-con signs and spout off some stupid rant that makes you sound like a whiny loser because you lost the election. Unless you're comfortable bashing both Democrats AND Republicans for this spending spree, just stay at home. Any true libertarians there will know who you are and know you're just as responsible for this mess as the people in Washington. I'm not saying they'll beat you up, because libertarians don't use force to get their way, but you don't want to get verbally abused and heckled by the people you're protesting with. It would be rather embarrassing and a waste of your time to even show up. If there are any libertarians out there that see neo-cons around, please feel free to humiliate them! In fact, I would say it would be your duty to distance libertarians from these people by doing so. If you're still a neo-con and want to protest, instead of having a tea party, go have a baby shower so you can go whine like one.

I would like to remind people that not all these tea party protests are organized and attended by the neo-con Republicans and Fox News. I'm sure some hypocrites are there, but there are LOTS of Americans that aren't affiliated with any party, or group and are genuinely pissed off their money has been stolen from them and given to these big corporations. Taxation without representation is the real reason for a tea party and I think most people that are there get that. There's a lot of talk that these tea parties are organized by big political groups, backed by corporate interests. However, I bet AIG, Citigroup, Bank of America, nor any of those other corporations that got government bailouts (handouts) are sponsoring these tea parties. The American people didn't need some group to organize and back them with corporate funds to make a big fuss about this huge mess. All they have to do is get man, get some cardboard, make a sign, and stand out in public. It's not that hard to do; especially if you don't have a job to go to because you got laid off.

Besides me being mad at hypocritical neo-cons, I'm pretty pissed off right now about the mainstream media. Of course they aren't going to do a non-biased story on this to get the true feelings of the general protesters. I'm not really surprised though, because at any protest, they're going to go after the most insanely, radical looking guy there and use that one guy for ratings. Chances are, that crazy guy was planted there by an opposing group to make the protesters look bad. I give you video from CNN...who just earned the same reliability rating as Fox News. Congratulations CNN, you just got exposed for the big government propaganda spin machine you are!
