They look more than bored. The one on the right looks like he's suffering from dehydration. :mad
But yeah, the tea parties were basically a vandalism protest. I was about to say violent, but nobody was hurt and nothing was set ablaze, so I don't think that would necessarily be considered violent.
The funniest part to me is how when GWB got into office and people protested, Fox News literally called them sore losers. Now the democrats take it and they're endorsing, practically sponsoring these "tea parties". It's also funny that a lot of those folks are there to protest taxes and wasteful spending and there's truckloads of fucking teas bags that they did who the hell knows what with.
Sorry to disagree with you, Hyfe, but the Dems were protesting Bush, not necessarily his policies. As a Republican, even I tell the people who protest Obama to shut up. However, his policies are not only harmful to the nation but are leading us down a road which I do not believe a majority of Americans wish to go. He is leading us towards collectivism and socialism, the death of the individual and individual initiative. The good of the community mandated by the government. Mandated charity. That sort of thing. In my opinion, that doesn't make sense. Hence the tea parties and the protest.
Individual initiative has driven the States to its knees. Why? Because the people at the top are the biggest douchebags. It's why they're on top. They're the people who would gladly slit your throat for another penny.
The wealth does not trickle down. The wealth will never trickle down. I'm no saying you should become a socialist nation, just you need to be more socialist and take actions against your businesses or else they will rule the nation, not the people or the government.
As for the whole tea party thing, call me cynical, but I just don't think you guys wanted to pay your taxes anymore, all that stuff about freedom and democracy, mostly came after :P
Seriously though, I'm with you, look at what our MP's have been spending our taxes on lately...
