Tea Party Logic Fails

They scream they want smaller government yet with the BP oil spill they rant about how the government is doing nothing (not true). So do they want less government or more? Do they want more regulation or less? The Bush era loaded the government with "hands off" managers and regulators who allowed the decimation of the forests and now the destruction of the gulf.

The tea Party and Republicans are blaming the Obama Administration for their failures to protect the environment. It appears as if they never understood "the Environment" meant the fishing industry and coastal tourism. Did they think all the energy in the world would make up for the loss of income for all those on the coast?

It is about time for these people to stop and think beyond their sound bites and come to grips with what small government really means - no protection for the common person in this country.

Can we afford to complain and not support our government? Are we becoming a bi-polar, short sighted group of malcontents? Chris Mathews can't understand why other oil companies are not asked to help out and I wonder if he knows that multi-national oil companies have zero allegiance to the US.

A strong country with the support of its people could cope with huge issues and yet the supposed "patriots" are ranting about "bringing down the government" or taking back "their country" as if two thirds of our citizens are the enemy. It is all male bovine waste and what they call common sense is really either hindsight or mimicked talking points espoused by the radical right who look at the common folk as surfs.

So, we have a problem created by corporate greed and these clowns blame Barack Obama and government as if he specifically told BP, Haliburton and Transocean LTD. to screw up and cause a spill.

Well I need to let my blood pressure get back to normal (JK) and close.

The answer is stronger regulation and a strong government that really gives a flying flip for the country's best interests.
