WHOA! Did the earth just shift on its axis? Has AIG just donated 20 billion to the needy? Are dogs and cats living together?
Something has occurred that makes all of those things seem trite.
The VND (yeah, I said it right not my usual) posted an opinion that seems to have come from somewhere other than Richard Scaife/Rush Limbaugh pants pocket.

Here’s the link:

IN all seriousness, I think that even the “conservatives” at the Trib are concerned about the mind-numbing idiocy of Beck, Palin, Limbaugh and the so-called brainless Teabaggers. (What do you stand for anyway?)

I love the blurbs where the teabaggers claim the want “to take back America!” To when? George W. Bush’s presidency? Ronald Reagan’s disastrous tax cuts for the rich/trickle-down beginning to what we have now? George H.W. Bush’s insipid 1000 points of light for only those 1000 businesses? Most certainly not Centrist Bill Clinton’s 8 years of prosperity ending with a surplus that Bush the Second blew on an illegal war!

What time period do you want to take us back? Maybe the fifties when things were just all “Gosh, Beav, Mom made apple pies again and if we’re real good maybe we’ll get some!” Remember the recession of the late 50s that JFK got us out of by going to the moon? The same jobs type bill people complained was a waste of money? Well, millions of people went to work because of that program and yet many of them complained about government spending. You can’t have it both ways.

So, teabaggers. Do we gut government and thereby jobs and services like road repairs, police and fire protection and a thousand others that the U.S. provides with your tax dollars or do we, as you want, stop the regulation of business so they can continue to screw us with hateful rhetoric mouthed from total dolts on Right–Wing Hate Radio and Fox?

JUST WHO IS MAKING MONEY BY INSTIGATING ALL THIS DISSENSION? For the clueless: it ain’t you. It’s the asses on Right-Wing Hate Radio and Fox. It’s the first class morons like Beck, Palin and Limbaugh and the wannabes like Breitbart and Company. Maybe you should try to understand how life really works rather than listening to 1930s hate propaganda updated by Beck and Murdoch.

Those more moderate Conservatives are concerned they will lose the Republican Party to the ultra right, radical, fanatically moronic fools who call themselves Teabaggers.

The VND took a step in that direction with an intelligent, realistic piece devoid of the standard Right Wing exaggerations and outright lies.

When the Trib allows such articles that show Beck, Palin and Limbaugh in their true form, maybe it’s time some of you started to look at different sources and to wonder just what you’re getting and are going to get from your used teabags.
