A Message to my Partisan Neighbors


After listening to my community whine on the local talk radio program yesterday about why they were not attending the Blair County Tea Party, I saw red and my head would have exploded if I had not used my handy-dandy, Glenn Beck duct tape to keep it together. This is my response to all of you short-sighted, mono-issue morons:

To all of you partisan Right-Wing, Anti-Abortion, Anti-Stem Cell Research, Bible-Thumping, Home-Schooling, Gun-Totin’ Conservatives, AND to all of you Left-Wing, Tree-Hugging, Gay Rights Promoting, Bailout-Addicted, Illegal-Alien-Lovin', Income Redistribution, Corporate-Takeover, Global Warming, Pro-Choice, Medical Care for Everyone, Liberals who insist on pounding their social platforms in the midst of an economic crisis—I have one question:

Do you like Chinese?

When I say Chinese I mean the language as well as the food.

And why would I ask such an off-the-wall and bazaar question?
Because it is relevant to our current situation:

Economic strength and stability = national security.

The United States of America now owes mainland China zillions of dollars and President Obama and his Secretary of Treasury are lately cozy with the International Monetary Fund and are “keeping an open mind” about a global currency.

Our economy is shaky enough that the Chinese could decide to call in their debts any day and what do we have to pay them with?

Dollars?

Pretty soon, they are not going to be worth the paper they are printed on.

Now with what are we going to pay them?

Right. (Think real estate and loss of human rights.)

But instead of putting our differences aside as our forefathers did to band together to fight a common enemy, some folks are insisting upon not participating in the local Tea Party because we are not including their laundry list of social agenda items.

Are you kidding me?

Folks, this economic situation is scary. If our government continues with its drunken spending of rampant earmarks and bailouts and stimulus packages and bulging budgets, and entitlement packages, we’re going to spend our way into becoming a colony again. The only difference is that this time, we’re not going to be sending our stamp taxes and tea taxes to the King of Great Britain, this time we’re going to be sending our taxes to Beijing.

And by the way, when we’re under China’s rule, they will dictate how many children we can have and enforce mandatory abortions.

But maybe we should smack each other over the head about the abortion/pro-choice issue and make that a priority instead?
