I had a few signs (Honk if the Tea Party makes you want to smoke crack) etc..i engaged in a few heated debates with some of them. There was nowhere near the number of people that were protesting in San Jose a few years ago. As i debated a few of them, i noticed they were listening to me. I wasn't angry or shouting, but telling them their passions are misplaced, and that they are being used. I really think i reached a few of them, and suspected that they are getting sick of being part of that cuckoo's nest. It gave me some things to think about, and how i can reach out them, divert them away from this corporate sponsored lunacy they are a part of.

Sarah Palin is “Tripped Up” With Her Own Words
O...<br />Sarah Palin is “Tripped Up” With Her Own Words<br /><br />One of our readers, Crystalwolf, brought to my attention yesterday an interview Sarah Palin did with Sean Hannity on Fox. I had seen this interview but had focused on the comments about Herman Cain and Palin’s comment “Boys will be Boys.” Here is the interview. This interview was given Dec. 1, 2011. Portraying herself as the victim, Sarah Palin disparaged the masseuse who said that she had given a massage to Sarah when she was Seven Months pregnant, and that the masseuse could tell that she was not pregnant. By her own words, Palin has confirmed what she was trying to deny. Here are the facts:<br /><br />1. Shailey Tripp’s book Boys Will Be Boys was not published at the time of Palin’s interview on Fox. The publication date of that book is Feb. 16, 2012. Thus the interview took place almost three months before the book was available.<br /><br />2. At page 69 of Boys Will Be Boys, Shailey Tripp identifies the massage she gave to Sarah Palin as having occurred in the first week in March. Until the publication of that book, the only public statement Ms. Tripp had made regarding the massage was the statement given to Gryphen at the Immoral Minority. In that interview Ms. Tripp was much less clear about when the massage took place. Shailey said…<br /><br />”Um, I want to say that it happened in the end of February, early March of 2008, but it definitely happened between January and the beginning of March.”<br /><br />http://malialitman.wordpress.com/2013/05/23/sarah-palin-is-tripped-up-with-her-own-words/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-28439463865479234852013-05-23T15:59:05.196-08:002013-05-23T15:59:05.196-08:00There seems to be some similarities in tactics use...There seems to be some similarities in tactics used by those who are greedy and do not care what happens to other people. Remember Pogo, " The enemy is us"? Get the people convinced that someone is trying to take away something they like, and they will protest against their own self interests. We recently saw this in an election in Portland on water fluoridation. The fight was against "chemicals in the water," but no one was for removing the chlorine and other antimicrobial chemicals. I haven't figured out who made money on this one.eclecticsandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-58973700559494344082013-05-23T15:07:41.715-08:002013-05-23T15:07:41.715-08:00I could have sworn that the tea party movement was...I could have sworn that the tea party movement was traced back to the Koch brothers.WakeUpAmericanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-79723533242865020642013-05-23T15:06:55.895-08:002013-05-23T15:06:55.895-08:00And don't forget the involvement of the Koch B...And don't forget the involvement of the Koch Brothers and their front group, Americans for Prosperity.<br />BeaglemomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-83610636370517901562013-05-23T15:03:50.233-08:002013-05-23T15:03:50.233-08:00What?
