Twofer Tuesday: Shout out to the Big Dawg – Stop all of your sobbing…
Update: AP at HA puts me some knowledge. Big Dawg did in fact discuss the rhetoric against Chris Christie R-NJ, so he has the left in mind too when he cautions this way. Great to know. I still think the water is too muddied for him to raise Oklahoma City in this context.
…In fairness, Clinton mentioned Christie as being a target of incendiary rhetoric in his Oklahoma City interview with Tapper over the weekend. What he didn’t mention, conveniently, was any culpability for mainstream liberals in inspiring this sort of reaction to smaller government….
Okay Big Dawg. I mean this in the nicest way possible, please Stop Your Sobbing and Shuddupayourface.
You know I am a fan. I watched you resist the Obama-Carter push to label us as racist earlier this year. You knew after they played that card on you it wasn’t true. Now I am asking you to consider that we are not inciting anything by expressing ourselves freely.
I know you were scarred in a way by Oklahoma City and the VRWC. But we Tea Party Patriots are as peaceful a group as any I have ever seen. Maybe you didn’t mean to tar us as extremists tossing incendiary rhetoric that could lead to violence. I certainly hope it is the lamestream media twisting your words.
I would like to think you realize your comments would do far more good were they taken to heart by Trumka of AFLCIO and by SEIU who are marching on Wall St next week in the thousands as part of their class warfare rhetoric. Or by the lamestream media who is ratcheting up the sense of anger on the left. Or by OFA which sends out endless emails dehumanizing anyone they perceive as interfering with the implementation of the Obama ‘transformative’ process. But after what happened to Hillary, you should know better than to talk to the NYT, they are carrying water for Team Obama.
We are peaceful. We are patriots. We are proud of our country, our rallies, our voices and our right to speak freely. If you are too insulated to see this is not 1994, that Obama is not you and that what he is doing is an incredible overreach of government into our lives, that is your cross to bear. But please stop labeling Americans.
Many of us are lifelong Democrats who voted for you and Hillary. We love America and we cannot be ‘guilted’ into withdrawing our support from the Tea Party so please stop.
Pew Research finds more Americans distrust their government than ever, and that it not because we are speaking out. We are speaking out because of the overhanded, overreaching, overregulating, overspending, overtaxing, and overweening pride and arrogance of Team Obama and their top down transformation of we the people into something we do not want to be.
Update: Another blowout month for the Obama Budget- deficit bigger than forecast; Obama is no Big Dawg – deficit spending
Update: Ed at HotAir has the latest example of Obama’s utter failure as a fiscal moderate:
(…)The federal government kicked off fiscal year 2010 by posting its widest-ever October budget deficit, the Treasury Department said Thursday.
The $176.36 billion gap is more than $20 billion wider than the shortfall recorded in October 2008, driven up by lower tax receipts, stimulus-related revenue reductions and consistently high government outlays.
Treasury’s monthly budget statement shows receipts were $135.33 billion in October, down 18% from a year earlier and at the lowest level since October 2002. Meanwhile, outlays were $311.69 billion, down 3% from a year earlier and at their second-highest monthly level on record.
When revenues drop 18% and outlays only drop 3%, it’s not hard to hit record deficits. It’s roughly four times as large as September’s deficit, which closed out FY2009 with an annual deficit just under $1.4 trillion. September’s deficit of $46 billion will serve as a nostalgia point in the coming months of the FY2010 budget….
