On this tax day, there were tea parties all across the nation including right here along the Gulf Coast. That's tea as in taxed enough already, that's the message protestors want Washington to hear. There was a huge turnout in Downtown Mobile. Hundreds of people carrying signs marched from Government Plaza to Cooper Riverside Park where they held a rally and tossed tea in the water reminiscent of the Boston Tea Party more than 235 years ago," this is about saying no to government spending, no to taxes, no to the bailouts, lowering taxes and you know getting the boom back in the economy, getting back to the Constitution and what our forefathers shed blood for," said organizer Nikki Carey-Nicholson.

bama bob and kam40 both make excellent points.  This is a bipartisan problem. We need to stop acting like we are at war with each other (Dems vs. reps and vice versa).  We all know the dems and reps in Washington are equally at fault.  Even the die hard reps will agree Obama didn’t start this mess, but he is not helping the situation either.  We need to stand up as AMERICANS, not dems and reps, and let the crooks in Washington know we are fed up with all of their B.S..  Either help the people out of this mess or get your sorry butt out of office so maybe we can get someone in there who isn’t corrupt.

Loghead prefers S&M/NBC-they beat their liberal views into you and chain you with their ideology.At least Fox gives 2 sides to every opinion piece-both conservative and liberal, unlike the arrogant, elitist, biased faux reporters on SMNBC and Certainly Nutcase News (CNN). But don’t worry,logi-the government has YOU right where they want you, bowing and licking their feet. Baa, baa, baa…..

Uhhh, ummm, ahhh…I think the zombies are people like you loghead. Or were you just permanently brain damaged by toxic Kool-aide? Tell you what though, how about I keep MY check, and you left field liberals go donate YOURS to the government pork projects and welfare lines?????

When the porkulus bill was being slammed through both houses of congress, didn’t the majority of Americans say whoa, slow down and read this bill first?  When the biggest budget was being pushed through, didn’t the majority of Americans say wait, wait, wait?

Our elected officials are not listening to the people that put them in office and the average American working stiff is sick and tired of that BS.  Those among many other concerns were voiced across this nation yesterday.  That is what it was all about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The government is essentially taking my money and handing it over to someone who has put this country in the situation it’s in.  I did not give the government permission to use the money in the manner they have.  The government has decided they know whats best for me and that I don’t.  Ha!  I don’t think it is my best interest to give money to someone who doesn’t need it.

(Giggling)  I think you maybe right Bamabob about logician.

I also now what you mean about the fact that I’ve paid taxes for over 30 years and I may not own a big fancy house and have a big fancy car but what I have I worked hard for and paid for it - I haven’t sat on my hiney and allowed other people to pay for what I have and I have allowed other people to pay my way.  I carried my weight and probably the weight of a few other people.  I just don’t think its fair that I have to support people that are esentially stealling from me.

You must be on spring break.  Shouldn’t you be out getting a little fresh air and sunshine?

There is a scene in every horror movie where the Zombies are closing in and only a few humans are left and the zombies are all hungry for brains. But the humans make their escape and the zombies are left behind to bite and eat each other, well this forum is like that and its about that time. I hope WKRG realises that its hosting a right wing hatefest, bye.

Double-wide?  The only double-wide I have is a brick house with all the amenities completely paid for ahead of schedule.  See, I’m one of those guys that has worked all his life and always paid more than my fair share of taxes, plus I got the bills paid on time.

What the government is doing to this country is a crime!  It’s just like the people that max out credit cards and then start writing bad checks.  It’s insanity and a heavy price comes down the road.

the ATF will never show up. they will have to back up other LEO when the free cheeze runs outs out and there is no more tax moneny for hand outs
