New Congress Sworn in.

The Tea Party already got that ball rolling.

At one time i agreed with you, but they're destined to fail for two big reasons. a) they're not talking about cutting defense budget. any reasonable approach at ending government corruption, government debt, and a global government, must include a cut in defense spending. b) they're only pulling in conservatives. many people outside the tea party would easily agree with them if they'd only start representing the people, and the people aren't all conservatives. if the tea party started with a campaign finance amendment to the constitution that made the most important relationship to congressmen between themselves and their constituents rather than the donors, so many more people would join them and make them successful.

until these things happen the tea party is doomed to failure for the same reason the '06 republicans were. a few gimicks about reading the constitution and failing to repeal health insurance reform isn't what i (and i suspect you) want.

A picture of a black man with a frown, made me think of a young black actor, known for frowning on a sitcom, and that makes me a racist? Hopefully, I simply missed an attempt at humor.

I was trying to make light of the fact that ANY comment about Obama and being black these days seems to be met with a racist tag. Clearly yours was not a racists statement, and I "got it", but I was trying to head off the inevitable comparisons.. :)

The Times They Are A-Changin'

Come gather ’round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin’
Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won’t come again
And don’t speak too soon
For the wheel’s still in spin
And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin’
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’
