"Top five things that annoy me; followed by five pictures." Then underneath he wrote: Racists, Homophobes, Sexists, Xenophobes and the rest of you ignorant pieces of ____, arrogant stupidity, Bigots & Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and Bill O'Reilly."

My comment to him follows:

I gather that you didn't have a Happy Tea Party day. We met on the Court House lawn with 500 to 700 other radicals, protesting the excessive spending, corruption, criminal activities and socialist trends from Washington. There was retirees, office workers, students, veterans, housewives and factory workers. They were Independents, Republicans and Democrats in the crowd. But the message was the same from all.

The mainstream news media will not tell the truth or report on corruption in Washington. The Pelosies, Harry Reeds, Boxers, Fiensteins and the others that are involved in corruption are continuing on trying to destroy the Constitution. The problem has been getting worse since Regan was president. This socialist-progressive trend started with Teddy Roosevelt, expanded by W. Wilson and FDR took it several steps further. Then from Carter it has been down hill.

The American public in general is functioning illiterates and blind to how the Constitution is being eroded by the liberals and politicians. Most can't see beyond their idiotic reality shows, football and baseball from their couches with their pizzas and beer.

I am sorry that my wife and I fall under your descriptive list. But I must say that your description of bigotry is the best that I have seen. I don't think that I could have described it better because you covered all bases.

The other patriots that met there on the lawn would also tell you the same. We are not terrorists, but like the Minutemen of 1776 who wanted to save this land from tyranny. Under God this land was wrenched from the tyranny of the British. The founding fathers met and wrote our Constitution, the backbone of this great nation for over 200 years. We don't want failures of foreign countries brought here. We are Americans and unique. We must protect our heritage at all costs from those who would destroy this great nation.

My comments about the American public are like you walking along a trail and a python snake was moving along the path beside you. As long as it moves beside you or turns away there is no problem, but if it turns toward you then there is a problem. This snake is like socialist government when it strikes it wraps all around you squeezing out you lifeblood. The general public is like the person on the trail ignoring the potential threat. Sane persons would immediately stop and take precautions. This is what the Tea Party is all about, taking precautions to protect this great nation.
