I missed the teabagger party

[SCantiGOP]

I happened to drive by the SC Statehouse Saturday afternoon and saw the teabagger demonstration which the papers said attracted 'hundreds' of participants. There may have been 200 at most, which I guess is actually hundreds. All were white, and most appeared to be well past retirement age. They had the usual signs: Stop Socialism, We want our country back, etc. If it hadn’t been so cold, I was going to make a sign and join them: “Stop Socialism: End Social Security and Medicare Now!” I wonder how the poor old fools who are barely scraping by now would feel about what pure capitalism would mean for them; I wonder if they would see the contradiction. Of course, I would be a hero to the Ron Paul devotees in the crowd for being philosophically consistent.
One final observation: judging from the fact that there were far more Confederate flags than US flags, I bet half the crowd wouldn’t have been there if there weren’t a black man serving as President. That’s what they really mean by ‘take our country back.’

2. If they ever meet outside a bar or private home here

I have my mother's mink coat and some costume jewelry ready to go for a solo "Billionaire for Wealthcare" counter protest that will go right above their heads.

3. this is just the beginning

Once we get rid of Social Security and Medicare we can turn our attention to those socialistic police and fire departments and especially that socialistic city sewer system. Every American deserves an outdoor privy.
