House of Eratosthenes

1) The Tea Partiers Lost America’s AAA Credit Rating. Sure, the Tea Partiers may have supported the Ryan Plan and Cut, Cap, and Balance, both of which would have preserved America’s AAA credit rating, but what we’ve just experienced is a “Tea Party downgrade.” How does that work? Well, just as Paul Revere caused the British to attack America and Mothers Against Drunk Driving causes people to drive drunk, the Tea Partiers caused America’s credit downgrade with their incessant demands that we cut spending to avert a credit downgrade…or something. It’s a little foggy.

2) The Tea Partiers Are Extremely Radical. Have you heard these radical yahoos going on about what they want to do? They actually want to stick to the Constitution and balance the budget! What kind of crazy talk is that? Need I remind you that the last time we had people talking like that in this country, they clung to their guns and religion, too. Next thing you know, they actually overthrew the government over taxes. Are those really the type of people we want to emulate in this country?

One of my Facebook friends has commented that she will not vote for a Tea Party candidate because their ideas are far too extreme. So I submitted a reply politely asking for the single most extreme Tea Party position on any issue. I’ll let you know what she manages to produce, in the comments below, as soon as she comes up with something.

So, all I have to do is vote to keep giving all the (corporate) “windfall” apples, in addition to part of my “communal” share of apples, to the pigs, and they’ll continue to ensure I won’t have to worry about those nasty Tea Party folk?

Um, so NOW what am I supposed to do with my pitchfork, hay rake, and torch?
Strangely, I have a poor “credit” rating myself. I ALWAYS pay my bills
promptly, do business on spit-and-a-handshake, and otherwise live within my means.

Even The folks at Bank of New York/ Mellon couldn’t get me a VISA or MC credit card, despite a long term, (ahem) above average, balance in my “account”.
Yay! I lost the “Congratulations, you’ve been deemed stupid enough to sell your soul to the company store…!” contest. Unlike the three branches of gub’mint. Of course, “other people” are personally responsible for THEIR Chinese made, GE light bulb debt.

Unlike, say progressive liberals who only seem to learn beyond the “magic” provision of entitlement (“education”/car/house/heat/food/water/”wellness”/
“affordable” (as if they’d pay) health “care”/ income/employment/ built-in “child care”…) that they fondly recall from their two parent childhood. (NOW up to age 25).

Wait, what was it Tea Party type folk, past and present, are trying to do again?

Debit card you say? Well yes. SHOCKINGLY, finance folk have ginned up “fees” to
accommodate their desire to NOT handle all those filthy legal tender notes and checks.
MY bank “magically” nullifies such automatic, blind, extra fees, yet I suspect I’m STILL paying “extra”, passed on in EVERYONE’S invoice by the other end.

Don’t even get me started on the “convenience” of auto-bill pay for “utilities”.

Imagine my embarrassment when a waitress smugly announced with the diction, and confidence one “learns” with a four (read seven) year certified “educational” institution certificate of attendance, to the table 8, (and all in earshot) that my gold debit card, with more than the manager could hope to make in a year behind it, was declined, twice! (a competent maitre d’hotel would NEVER do that!)

Imagine my schadenfreude when I said with my best “Awwwww…poor puppy” voice-“Sorry…here.”, and simply pealed off cash (yes, plus tip), without even blinking, or sadly, without loudly pointing out for ALL to hear that “It’s was NOT a “get-deeper-into-debt, with an escalating fee” card, as any savvy sixth grader with even a “public” education can derive from the first four numbers, you freakin’ imbecilic peon!” and seeking “public drama allies” by loudly DEMANDING to personally speak to someone in management qualified to handle “other peoples money”.

If only MORE folk would join(?) the Tea Party and do that with our elected, and ESPECIALLY with “appointed”, public servers in gub’mint.

Me?
Conservative? “Wealthy”? Discriminating? Calloused hands? Tea Party type?
You betcha’!
