      I can't wait to see if Fox News goes anywhere near this upcoming teabagging festival.

      More Anti-Americanism on American's "Birthday". Only teabaggers could sink to such lows.

        I would submit that protesting the size and spending of government is as American as you can get.

        If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare... they may appoint teachers in every state... The powers of Congress would subvert the very foundation, the very nature of the limited government established by the people of America.
        - James Madison

        I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labor and in our amusements. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy.
        - Thomas Jefferson

          FAIL. Unfortunately that's hardly the premise of the anti-American reich-wing teabagging hissy fits.

      Gee, wonder what media matters(fvl) will have to say about ABC's upcoming broadcast and healthcare reform infomercial from the Whitehouse?

      The silence will be deafening.

        Your inability to deal with facts and reality is comical. Quit reading Drudge, you may wake up one day....doubtful though.
