I didn't watch the SOTU. I did for a few years, but it's nothing but a pep rally.
The interesting thing is, media coverage from salon.com states "Tea Party Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito are expected to skip to night's State of the Union address"
I wasn't aware supreme court justices were elected, and ran as tea party members. I also wasn't aware that "to night" was two words when used as an adverb.
They're just trying to lump conservatives, republicans, and RINOs into one philosophical mindset, and then trying to portray that mindset as racist rich people.
Also, how can the tea party be racist if Clarence Thomas is in it? They need to make up their minds. Is the tea party racist, or is Clarence Thomas a tea partier? Maybe they think he's a racist black extremist, and are unaware that his wife is white.
This post is mostly tongue-in-cheek. I know Clarence Thomas and the tea party aren't racist, and I know not all democrats think so. I know that because I know some democrats in the tea party movement. I just get so sick of this partisan BS.
LIBERALS: If you have a valid point, make it and back it up with facts. Don't just spout the usual garbage from your mouth and expect people to take it as gospel. You should be trying to change people's minds, not preach to your misinformed choir. If the tea party is racist, find some hard evidence. A picture of the 3 people you planted with Hitler signs isn't going to cut it. A video of Klansmen removing their hoods and turning out to be Rand Paul would be convincing. Or even a simple mission statement from the tea party saying they want to make minorities stupid and poor would convince me. I'm sick of your method of arguing where you state "It's already been proven, I'm not going to debate this." You generally say that about things which are hotly contested, because you don't know the facts you're trying to argue!
"The tea party is racist, that's a proven fact, I'm not going to argue this anymore."
It's not a proven fact, it's just something that you have no proof of and are unwilling to offer any for.
Sorry that my posts go from one topic to another, I'm a free association writer, just as Michael Savage talks on his radio show, except I try to keep my posts related to one subject at a time.

Federal Tax Increase
Obama lied. As shocking as that two-word sentence may be to some, to those paying attention, the words "no shit" come to mind. The lie that I'm referring to is that he would only raise taxes on the richest Americans, those making $250k and up.
If you thought the lame duck congress extended the Bush tax cuts, you thought wrong. I just received a paycheck that's missing something. The federal taxes taken out of my paycheck increased by 23.86%. Supposedly, this is offset by a decrease in the amount taken out for Social Security. Many workers pay into a private pension and are exempt from social security. While we don't have to pay into Social Security, most of us already have for the first half of our lives, and there are laws in place to make sure we never see a penny of it.
So, the Federal Government is now collecting 23.86% more from taxpayers. That means they can increase spending by that amount and fool people into believing it's not adding to the deficit. If you have been paying attention to what's going on in this country, you already know that Social Security is going to be bankrupt before most of us can retire. If Social Security is it's own department, Social Security would now be receiving less, meaning the money would run out sooner. Well, it would if it wasn't a pyramid scheme from the start. What is the democrats' plan? Are they trying to ruin the future for everyone? I have a hard time believing they consciously are trying to ruin everything, I think they are just so dedicated to their lies that they are blinded to the truth.
For those of us where I'm employed, it means our paychecks are actually less than they were a year ago. The real shitty part is that we live in Illinois. That means when the democrats' 67% income tax hike goes into effect we'll really be hurting. As if the property, sales, gasoline, firearm, and vehicle taxes weren't painful enough. What is their goal? Are the democrats intentionally trying to ruin the economy? In Illinois I think the answer is yes, and I think most of the population here is too stupid to elect somebody that could fix it.
What are you doing to ensure you can retire? Are you planning on the government to be there with your money when you reach that age? Are you buying silver? Gold? Stocks? Do you have it stashed away in a bank account?
