		<description>IP, you are correct about Bush and the GOP, but what&#039;s done is done.  What we are here to do is prevent the further socialization of our country.  It has NOTHING to do with race, and I hope you&#039;re not so ignorant as to think so.

If you do, it only shows how much you and a lot of other people in this country have NO CLUE as to what is really going on.  Your comment is without merit.  You can be forgiven for being stupid, but not uninformed.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a member of We Surround Them, but I can&#039;t get on the site at work -- it&#039;s blocked.  I&#039;m trying to find out when the bus leaves for DC tomorrow, when it returns, and how much it is.  Thanks so much!

		<description>We are you folks so scared of socialism? Is Sweden such and awful place? Are they living in dire poverty due to high taxes? Do the masses get trampled under the foot of big government? Are they crying out for &quot;freedom&quot;? No...and why should they? They are just doing fine with some of the highest living standards, life expectancies, freedom of media, etc. You should be outraged that the U.S. has some of the lowest standards of the developed world. How can you cry for freedom when your fellow Americans live in filth and poverty throughout rural and urban America. You want full run Capitalism, then fork over your social security checks, disability checks, close down the public schools, disband all police and fire departments, sell off the roads to the highest (or lowest) bidder. You want a return to the &quot;Gilded Age&quot;? Go for it ..it won&#039;t be pretty. No more FDA to check to see if corporations are really promising to put in food and medicine what they really say they are. Let the robber barons return. You think they might have already, but let&#039;s return to the days of company towns and paying workers in script. Get rid of OSHA, and let the workers handle workplace accidents on their own. Hey, a dead or crippled worker just means another job opening. You see, you bitch and moan about government and this silly so called march to socialism, communism, faciasm (you folks really just need to pick one...cannot be all), but hey your life and those of your kids would be a hell lot worse without the government in your life. Almost forgot....disband the national military...just privatize it and let Blackwater handle affairs...I&#039;m sure that will turn out nice.  One last point, why do folks vote for people who hurt them the worst. Taxes on poorer Americans (the bulk of us) always increase the most during a Republican presidency? They promise you things about so-called family values and never, ever deliver (why should they? they don&#039;t want to remove the carrot). Instead they simply whittle away at any benefits for the middle and lower classes while practially give head to the rich and mega-corporations. When it comes to health care, they ONLY potential losers on healthcare reform are the insurance companies whose SOLE purpose is to make a PROFIT by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Drop your coverage when you have cancer, deny payments for tests for saving lives, raise premiums without merit and do anything to deny or nickel and dime you to a literal death. The death panels have been here....Blue Cross and Bluen Shield can decide if a patient lives or dies with a simple denial. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE PART OF SOME SORT PROGRAM TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM WE CURRENTLY HAVE THEN YOU ARE JUST AN ENAMBLER. The current health care system doesn&#039;t work anymore and hasn&#039;t for many decades. It has to be shaken up and replaced, but you cannot replace it with nothing. If you cannot come up with a solution, then you are just part of the problem. Obviously, I&#039;m not a regular here, just a SA goon so if you can&#039;t get over petty things like a fake name then you have too many issues for one person to handle and will just have to read this and drop a brick in anger.


p.s. &quot;In God We Trust&quot; wasn&#039;t added to coinage until the 1850&#039;s...you can look that up for your own proof....question is...why wasn&#039;t it placed there earlier......find the answer if you dare...:)</description>

		<description>Everything is George Bush&#039;s fault. It will be his fault 10 years from now when the deficit is 12 trillion dollars. It is his fault because he.....  and then he........ and also he......   It&#039;s time that 0bama takes the reins and stops blaming Bush. He wanted the job. Let&#039;s see him handle it. He can&#039;t. He has proved it so far. Unemployment at 9.5%, tax revenues way down, deficit on the rise, more money spent in the first six months than all the administrations, from Washington to Bush, put together ever spent. Pushing socialism reforms, wants to take In God We Trust off our money, wants to turn over our military to the U. N., cram government run health insurance down out throats, (never mind it is unconstitutional to force anyone to buy something in the country if they don&#039;t want to). The IRS will fine you and sign you up if you don&#039;t go along with 0bama&#039;s government run insurance.  Cap and Trade... all this is is another tax on the American people. Air Force One fly over NYC wasted $300,000, just for some pictures and not to mention it scared the crap out of thousands and no telling what it cost the private sector when the people let their jobs and ran into the streets. Oh yeah, it is Bush&#039;s fault.  I P Freely (probably in your pants) looks like you and your kind are those that are &quot;all wee wee&#039;d up&quot; to quote your beloved and you and your kind have got us into big doo doo. Thank God (yes I said God and hopefully will continue to be able to say God) we have organizations like this trying to put a stop to this socialism insanity.</description>

		<description>I.P. 

I remember your name from third grade - it was funny then, kind of sad that you have not advanced with the rest of us.  Yes, the Iraq war was President Bush&#039;s ultimate decision to make and he accepts responsibility.  Of course democrats like President Clinton, Senator Clinton, and a whole host of others are on record (I&#039;ve watched the videos) stating that Sadam had weapons of mass destruction and must be removed from power but you will never hear that from them or their liberal supporters now.  Greedy Republican congressman did not get us into this mess - it was the socialist democrats (Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, et al) who threatened the financial institutions until they agreed to makie mortgages to families that had no business getting them.  That combined with their refusal to reign in Freddie and Fannie (their major contributors) created most of the mess that we find ourselves in now.  

Your pitiful attempt to somehow link our outrage at our country&#039;s rush toward socialism to racism is typical of a liberal who has lost an arguement.  Hope fourth grade is good to you.</description>

		<description>Sorry folks, but why were you all not protesting when G.W. Bush was president? He was the one who got us stuck in the silly foreign wars and the actions of a number of greedy Republican congressmen helped to change certain financial laws to allow corporations to have enough rope to hang themselves. Maybe, you just cannot handle the fact that a black man is president. You act like the white folks who protested intergration of the schools like in the 50&#039;s. Shame.</description>

		<description>WE ARE BACK!  SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO 9-12 TEA PARTY

Please come to our &quot;real grassroots&quot; Tea Party on September 12, 2009.  Just so you know, we are not financially backed by anyone except a few individuals and small business owners, so we have a shoe-string budget, but we are proud to say we are not financed by anyone in the political world, financial world, union world, acorn world or otherwise. We are infuriated that we are being called racist, astroturf, Republican funded, report-your-friend, wacko, mob, right-wingers!  We are ordinary American citizens exercising our First Amendment right to protest what our government is doing with our healthcare and other rights. We love our country.  We love all Americans, even those that disagree, but we believe it is our right to speak out with similar people to take a stance on the issues.  We want less government, not more. We care about our communities, that&#039;s why so many people showed up on July 4 at our Tea Party.  We are patriotic, but are not defined by a red/blue color or a black/white/purple/green/ yellow or any other colors.  We like our independence and we want to be heard, especially by our policitians.

Where: San Juan Capistrano Historic Park, take 1-5 to Hwy 74 exit (Ortega Hwy), go west one block, turn left and we are up one very short block on the left.  

When: September 12, 2009  at 11 am to 2 pm.

(we encourage those that have the ability to go to the Federal Building in Los Angeles for the 9-12 rally from 3-5 pm after)

Your patriot, Tawnya (who never got off the couch until the stimulous package stimulated!)</description>
