One of the things that cracks me up over this protest is the symbolism they chose. Another example of conservatives choosing fluff over substance, projecting their own bias on the symbol instead of what it really was.

The Boston Tea Party, if fact, was in fact an act of vandalism against the world's largest retailer. If you were going to recreate it today, you would go into Walmart and pull all the Chinese made goods off the shelf and throw them into the river.

Where were these bastards when their heroes were putting us into this mess? You have a man here who is thinking his way through this, taking the tough steps needed to begin the healing process, and these numbskulls forget all about the fact that their heroes abetted the criminals in stealing or destroying 40 to 60% of their retirement savings.

As to the "patriots" who talk secession, it appears that they only believe in democracy and the American way when it goes their way. But when the public votes against them, their first response is secession, and wishing failure upon their constitutionally elected President. That is not the America I love and fought for in war, and in the streets, and workplaces.

Mick .... sick to death of slogan slinging idiots who vote and rail against things of the basis of their own prejudices/biases.
