Sam Donaldson To Tea Partiers: “It’s Not Your Country Anymore”

[calimary]

26. Welcome to DU, duffyduff!

Good to have you here! I'm just glad he said it. That kind of thing NEEDS to be said more and more and more and more, and in many more ways and from many many many many more mouths than just Sam Donaldson's.

That's the reality that needs to start soaking in. That's the reality that needs to be catapulted. That's the framing that needs to be done, to steer the general mindset AWAY from the false presumption that the teabaggers are everywhere and dominate the agenda and basically run the country. They need to be marginalized and diminished and no longer taken seriously.

Hey, if they want to secede, let 'em! There's a perfect country out there just waiting for folks like them: beautiful balmy utterly free Somalia! NO government. NO rules and regs and annoying laws. All the guns you can eat! All the anarchy you can eat! All the warlords and pirates you can eat! And the poor, homeless, starving - are just laughed at and then ignored - they don't matter and nobody feels compelled to help them and that's the way it should be, 'eh, teabaggers? Those people should just pull themselves up by their own bootstraps because it's every man for himself (notice how that even leaves the women out? EVEN MORE PERFECT!!!) and that whole country has lifted the "you're on your own" mantra into the sacrament level.

I'm being a little sarcastic here as you may have discerned. But I believe that's how teabaggers should be treated. If you act like a jerk, you're gonna be treated like a jerk. And no political group acts like bigger jerks than the teabaggers do.
