Tea Party Members

The NY Times has an article on who backs the Tea Party.  There are two members quoted who I would just love to meet.  One is a 67 year old female who says about President Obama "I just feel he's getting way from what America is.  He's a socialist.  And to tell you the truth, I think he's a Muslim and trying to head us in that direction, I don't care what he says."  I think she's been watching too much Fox News!  I would love to meet  her so I could ask her just what planet she is from.  The other is a 62 year old woman who when asked how she could rationalize taking her social security while fighting against big government, couldn't!  So she honestly said, "I think I've changed my mind."  I'd like to meet her to welcome her back to the side of reason.  And the world still turns!  Sometimes I want to jump off, but most times know I need to remain so that the ranks of the intelligent ones won't dwindle.

  1. I don't think I have ever heard Obama called a Muslim on Fox news.

  2. Well, I am glad to hear that. My feeling however is that if someone is watching Fox News exclusively it is like being brainwashed; so whatever negative thing they hear about the person, place, or idea they are being told is bad, they will believe. Thanks for stopping by and keep reading and responding!
