We face from Obama almost as much tyranny as our Founding Fathers did from King George and I don't mean Bush the uneducated in the crowd.
This is such bull. You can't even compare what our Founding Fathers faced to what's currently going on in government.
The Founding Fathers were getting **** on by the British Parliament because Great Britain was going bankrupt fighting wars against France and needed to bring in some revenue or go broke. But they weren't going to increase taxes in Great Britain because it would have been too unpopular. So they increased taxes in their colonies in America. But the colonists resented these taxes because they had no representation in the British Parliament. It wasn't that they were necessarily against the taxes; it was that they had no say in the government that ruled them, and no opportunity to have a say either. That was why the Founding Fathers led to the revolution - so that they wouldn't be governed without their consent.
The thing is these tea partiers
DO have the opportunity to be represented in government. It's called "elections." And our elections tend to award whoever wins the most votes with the elected office. This means that you only need a
plurality of votes and not a
majority of votes. This naturally leads to a two-party system with broad parties to prevent spoilers. This is why business interests and religious conservatives combine their votes against trade unions and environmentalists who combine theirs. This is called Duverger's Law.
So these tea partiers have the opportunity to get their representatives voted into office - but only if they can garner enough votes. If they can't, then they may split the conservative ticket and caused a Democrat to elected into office. And because we have a system of Single-Member Districts, only one person can represent a single district, despite the political diversity of the voters within that district.
So any claim of tyranny is bull. Obama garnered enough electoral votes to become President. Democrats won a large majority in Congress in the elections of '08. In those districts, a plurality of voters chose the Democratic candidate over the others. That was because they rejected the Republican candidate who the voters believed weren't representing their views. Which is how our electoral process works.
If you don't like that fact, then you might want to either make efforts to make the Republican Party more moderate in order to garner more votes or start lobbying for a change in our electoral process in order to allow multiple parties viable to win elected offices since it is our current electoral process that forces us into a two-party system.
But any claim of tyranny on the level of what King George III imposed on the colonies is an insult to what the Founding Fathers went through.
