I was about to respond to a Facebook post about today's Tea Party Rally at the state Capitol, when I read this poster's comment:
You are such greedy terrible human beings. Here thousands of teachers are being laid off in Los Angeles and all you can think about is your taxes. You don't get upset about poverty, you don't get upset about environmental destruction, global warming, children dropping out of school, people without health care, people dying of AIDS in Africa, not about war, not about racism and prisons. You are a shame on our nation. Your grandchildren and their grandchildren will look back on you and say- how could these people be so selfish, only caring for themselves and their well being. What kind of world have they left us? You should hang your heads in shame!!
Oh my. The things I wanted to write back to him, but instead decided to make his post the subject of one of mine. If I was 12, I'd say Boo Hoo, Waaaaaaa.
Instead, I'll just ask this liberal moron how he functions everyday with this horrible weight on his shoulders? Without a God to pray to, or a Constitution to believe in, he must live in a world devoid of love, compassion and friends.
Here is what I wrote back: Good lord, how do you function everyday Jonah carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, without a God to pray to or a Constitution to believe in?
Who do you think funds all of the groups who fight poverty, AIDS, schools, and health care? ANd we don't just do it with taxes, we do it through the charities we support.
And today's rallies were not just about paying higher taxes, it was a protest to the massive government spending Pres Obama has put in place in less than 100 days in office.
He obviously does not understand why we protested today.
Boo Hoo. Waaaaaaa.
