Yesterday was tax day and the nation held Tea Parties to protest government overtaxing and overspending. Tea Parties are symbolic of the original Boston Tea Party that rallied colonial patriots. They wanted no taxation without representation. I think the battle cry might be we have enough representation. Government is too big. Stop the spending and borrowing.
My brother in-law sent me pictures of the Tea Party in Fredericksberg, TX.
With federal bailouts and intervention into GM and the banks, many feel we are headed toward socialism. Weeks ago the cover of Newsweek magazine stated "We are all Socialist Now". Putin warned us not to go down that road. Imagine that. Who would have thunk it. In news coverage I have seen protestors carrying signs saying "USSA".
I think we may have started down this road before the current president. When did we start naming the DC heads of projects "Czar"? Isn't that a Russian word? We have had "Energy Czars", "Drug Czars" and some suggested we needed a "Car Csar" with the automotive industry near collapse. Yesterday's appointment of a "Border Csar" was big news here in San Diego.
See, Putin was right. But as long as we are becoming a nation of Csars and Csarinas they should name a "Sea Csar" to go after those pirates. We have come full circle from the time of Thomas Jefferson sending in the Marines .to Tripoli to rid the world of pirates. Go get 'em Marines. Go get 'em Navy. Hail Sea Czar.
