The Squeaky Wheel Gets The Oil

Tommy DeSeno has been nagging me all day. He wants me to let you know that there is a Tea Party in Belmar tomorrow.

Details at Tommy's Jersey Shore Blog.

while these lunatics have their tea party from 12 to 3, the rest of us working class Americans will be working!

Anybody else think these tea parties are retarded?

I mean it was started by displaced Ron Paul supporters and libertarians, and suddenly caught some fire on our side of things.

Hey Teabaggers (yes, this is exactly why this is so stupid), why don't you show up to some phone banks, knock on some doors, and make sure you vote for REALISTIC possibilites of changing the system.

The Tea Party idea was started by Rick Santelli.

But if you are posting anonymously, I guess it's OK to get your facts wrong.

The tea parties are at least something proactive. I agree that we need more knocking on doors, phone bank workers, etc. but this event can send a message and get people energized.

Also agreed for the average working person a weekday/mid-day event is not feasible. But, it can be a lunchtime activity for some and it is a vacation week for many school systems so moms and kids can attend.

In fact, my son, a high school junior, was told about - and asked to attend - the Belmar tea party by a classmate.

I have no problem with tea parties. People are frustrated and this is a way to visualize that frustration. Hopefully it will carry over to a greater involvement in the upcoming campaigns. Sadly, it is exactly because people were not involved in the last campaign, at least involved enough to know that behind the oratory skills and catch phrase was an anti-American socialist who cannot make a speech without somehow putting this great nation down, that we have a need for tea parties. Hopefully, more good will come from these events down the road.

I wonder how Tommy feels about James madison and Alexander hamilton writing the Federalist papers anonymously

Tommy feels that Madison and Hamilton (and Jay) didn't write the Federalist Papers anonymously.

They wrote it pseudonymously.

They used the name Publius (can't believe no Monmouth Blogger has grabbed that one).

Friends of the 3 also wrote as "Philo Publius" which translates to Friends of Publius.

I have respect for those who post anonymously. I truly do.

I'd just like to see everyone pick a pseudonym.

Look at this thread. 3 posts by "Anonymous" and I don't know if I'm talking to one guy or 3.

I have no idea of the real identity of "stopthesocialists" but at least when he or she posts I know I'm talking to the same person. I can reflect back on other posts he/she made.

When you have a bunch of folks going by "anonymous" you can't really have a discussion.

Plenty of fun names out there. Everyone should grab one.

I actually thought it was fun when folks were all showing up as founding fathers.

I have to ask. Did someone finally tea bag Tom Deseno?
