I think I am still thirsty, but I haven’t any tea!

I think I am still thirsty, but I haven’t any tea.   I know I used to have some somewhere but where in this house could I have put it.  You know, its been a rough year and I feel the older I get the more my memory fails me.  In just a few days I will be 38 years old and I barely remember writing something about tea a year ago.  I know what you must be thinking, why would anyone want to write about tea, especially with everything happening in this world today.  I forget what exactly happened last year that angered me so much that I just had to write about tea.  Hmmm let me think about that for a moment.

I remember something about putting the last two tea bags I had in with my taxes.  I know I followed the directions step by step exactly the way the news told me to do.  If I remember correctly, I eventually sent in my taxes, even though they were a few days late, but why did the news station want me to send in tea with my taxes????  I am unsure what changed, if anything, ever since many people including myself sent in tea with our taxes.  I mean come on; foreclosures are still rampant in my neighborhood, banks have gone belly up, I still see many jobs being sent overseas, and unemployment is still destroying this once great state I reside in.

I really am unsure what to think this was all for.  I mean if something did change maybe I would have found a better job this year, or maybe I wouldn’t be fighting with my mortgage company as much as I have.  Hell, maybe I thought I could afford better insurance, but nope, that hasn’t happened just yet either.  I think one thing that did change is the fact that I can no longer be denied for my pre-existing conditions, but I don’t think sending tea in with my taxes had anything to do with that.  Hmmm, maybe it was sitting back and doing nothing to help my neighbors from being thrown out of their homes because they have lost their jobs, or they couldn’t keep up with their medical bills???  Hmmm, nope, I don’t think that helped either.  I wonder if things have changed because so many people sat back and let the banks continue to economically destroy this country and blame the government for this, and then turn around and blame the government for handing out billions of our dollars to bail them out while the banks economically raped the people through interest rates and new fee after fee????  No, I think that made things worse in this country too!  So what the hell was this tea party thing ever for????

You know, when I think about this “tea party” thing even more, I start to wonder and ask myself what was it all for and what did it really do for this country?  I remember something about people complaining that the government was sticking its nose and meddling with the free market, yet, I have not seen these same people complain or do anything to stop the free market from meddling with the government and mandating their services upon us.

What amazed me even more about these people is the way they portrayed the president of this country.  I have never seen such vile signs comparing him to Hitler, seeing the racist signs screaming nothing but hate.   Like I said, my memory may not be the greatest, but as I looked up Hitler in the history books I noticed that he massacred millions of people by genocide and had nothing to do with health care reform.  It was amazing how these same people screamed socialism when they in fact support communism more and more by refusing to protect American jobs and refusing to buy from American companies.

Now the health care reform circus now wasn’t that pleasant to watch?  I have never seen such rhetoric and bullpucky from the tea baggers like I have when it came to basic humanity.  I was shocked to see how many people hid behind the bible yet cared nothing about their fellow man.  Its easy to say people like me want a handout, but these same people have never had to deal with a life threatening disease just to survive and be economically raped by the free market.  FREE????  LMFAO

I have never heard so many excuses from so many people that I didn’t plan enough for my disease and that I wanted nothing but a hand out.  You know, when I was stricken with cancer at age 27 I had health insurance and I was told it was one of the best insurance plans I could get.  What amazed me even more is that when it came time to use it, I was given nothing but hell and heartache from the company that was supposed to protect me.  After living the American nightmare and wanting reform not just for me, but for many other hard working Americans, these same people called me a socialist and lazy.  How interesting they felt they knew everything about me yet never once met me in person or had the gull to even come ask questions.  I guess they would rather believe that all knowing “Sarah Clueless Palin” than actually going out there and finding out the truth for themselves.

Another major LOL was these same people swore they were defending true democracy and freedom where the same people spreading fear and propaganda about giving them darn gays equal rights and the FREEDOM to marry their partners because they wanted to protect the sanctity of marriage, yet refused to vote to make divorce illegal.  How ironic they fought so hard to take away the freedoms of others but were petrified and screamed hell to high waters at the top of their lungs that their new president was taking away their freedoms.  You know if I think about it, I think there is a word for that.

The last thing that blew my mind was all the rhetoric on global warming.  How interesting that was to watch.  I mean come on, you can believe it is happening or you can believe your corporate gods that we must consume and destroy nature at full force, but regardless what you believe, what is really wrong with the thought that maybe we should cut back on pollution and consumption?  Maybe we should start to use more recyclable materials and renewable energies.  What is more important to you, clean air, or more money for the oil giants?  What on earth is wrong with being responsible with the only home we know????  You know, just because your lights are out, does not mean you are doing anything to celebrate earth day.

Actually, now that I think about it there, the last year was nothing but a political joke.  Screw the tea; I am now switching to coffee.  A little bit of cream and 2 doses of reality, its amazing what you will learn if you just open your eyes and look back at what really has been going on. Tea, not only can our country not afford it, I am not going to buy it anymore.  With all the TEApocracy and rhetoric I just don’t see the point.
