1. So while they're collecting unemployment, they're fighting to eliminate it.
Hmmm . . .

2. "“If you quit giving people that stuff, they would figure out how to do it on their own,”
"and I know this because I heard Glen Beck say it on the TV I was watching, sitting on my fat butt waiting for my welfare check to arrive."

:rofl: how funny!

3. I wonder if there was a beer garden at that Teabagger Hootenany
in Arizona? I bet it made some money if there was one.

4. How's that free market working for you Ms. Reimer?
While I agree with her that the government should not be running banks, etc, the fact that they got into the mess under increasing deregulation doesn't speak well of the hallowed free market.

5. Many of them need to take their own advice and get a job instead of handouts

6. They are so incredibly shallow!
Then Ms. Reimer saw a story about the Tea Party on television. “I said, ‘That’s it,’ ” she recalled. “How can you get this frustration out, have your voices heard?”

She liked that the Tea Party was patriotic, too. “They said the Pledge of Allegiance and sang the national anthem,” she said.

To this sad, pathetic woman, "patriotism" consists of saying the pledge and singing the anthem. But like wearing a flag lapel pin, these are mere symbolic acts! Like all conservatives she sees only the surfaces of things and is completely oblivious of reality. Obsess on symbols; ignore substance.

The worst enemies of America imaginable could easily recite some words about the flag and sing a song about bombs and rockets while still remaining evil and treasonous. In fact, it happens every day.
