A friend sent me this. I have no clue as to its origin. If someone knows, please let me know so I attribute it properly.
It's one hell of a message!
A Message to the Tea Party
After eight years of Bush and Cheney now you get mad!
You didn't get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.
You didn't get mad when Cheney allowed energy company officials to dictate energy policy.
You didn't get mad when a covert CIA operative got outed for political reasons.
You didn't get mad when the "Patriot Act" got passed and government was given unprecedented spying powers on you and all the rest of us.
You didn't get mad when we illegally invaded a country that posed no threat to us.
You didn't get mad when we spent over $600 billion (and counting) on that illegal war.
You didn't get mad when over $10 billion just disappeared in Iraq.
You didn't get mad when you found out we were torturing people.
You didn't get mad when the government was illegally wiretapping Americans.
You didn't get mad when we didn't catch Bin Laden.
You didn't get mad when you saw the horrible conditions injured soldiers were enduring at Walter Reed Hospital.
You didn't get mad when we let a major US city, New Orleans, drown.
You didn't get mad when we gave $900 billion in tax breaks to the already rich.
You didn't get mad when the deficit hit the trillion dollar mark under Bush.
You finally got mad when the government decided that people in America deserved the right to see a doctor if they are sick.
Yes, illegal wars, lies, corruption, torture, stealing your tax dollars to make the rich richer, they’re all okay with you, but helping other Americans... oh hell no!
