    Tea Party vs. Occupy @ Tax Day Rally: You can tell who's who.

    Yesterday, we had the pleasure of attending the Boston Tea Party on Boston Common organized by the Massachusetts Tea Party.  While the rally itself was relatively uninteresting, with smaller crowds than previous years and few captivating speakers, it was the counter-protesters that stole the show. For the first half of the rally, the counter-protesters (which originally consisted ...

    Herman Cain On Shooting Rabbits, Scrapping The Tax Code And Clueless Americans

    Last night we had the pleasure of sitting in on a media conference call with former presidential candidate Herman Cain.  Cain has been getting flak in the media in regards to the latest ad realized on his SicOfStimulus website. The ad features a rabbit being launched from a catapult and being blasted with a shotgun as an analogy ...

    We'd be the first to advocate that an elected official must have the capacity to evolve their positions over time; normally, seeing a politician move over to the "right side" of an issue is something we'd embrace.  The capacity for an individual to realize the error of their ways and take another position, especially in ...

VIDEO: Justified Force or Police Brutality? Occupy vs BPD at Tea Party

Today as we scoured the internet for any coverage of the arrests that took place at the Boston Tea Party yesterday, we came across the following article from the Boston Globe, “Boston police to review action after criticisms of handling of the Tea Party counter-protest on Common“:

“The department will need an appropriate amount of time to properly determine the context of the photo and what took place before and after,” Boston police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll said in an e-mail this morning.

She said an “unruly and combative” group of protesters tried to disrupt a rally held by Tea Party activists, who had secured a permit to gather on the Common.

“The aggressive nature of these individuals required officers to call for numerous additional units to respond,” Driscoll said. “As we always do after a day of aggressive protests, the department will review all of the activity that took place during the course of the day including the photos that have surfaced from the event.”

Tea Party vs. Occupy @ Tax Day Rally: “You can tell who’s who.”

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of attending the Boston Tea Party on Boston Common organized by the Massachusetts Tea Party.  While the rally itself was relatively uninteresting, with smaller crowds than previous years and few captivating speakers, it was the counter-protesters that stole the show.

For the first half of the rally, the counter-protesters (which originally consisted of  just a few members of a “gay rights” group to protest one of the speakers) were content to stay on the periphery, peacefully holding signs and being rather respectful of the Tea Partiers.  We then noticed a man in a pink wig approach with a bandana over his face and we knew trouble was coming. Behind him rushed a large group of Occupy/anarchists/communists holding a large banner and signs using shameful verbiage that conveyed neither a clear message nor peaceful intentions. Some burst through the Tea Party group (shoving an innocent man out of their way) screaming unintelligible chants.

Herman Cain On Shooting Rabbits, Scrapping The Tax Code And Clueless Americans

Last night we had the pleasure of sitting in on a media conference call with former presidential candidate Herman Cain.  Cain has been getting flak in the media in regards to the latest ad realized on his SicOfStimulus website.

The ad features a rabbit being launched from a catapult and being blasted with a shotgun as an analogy to the strife of small businesses in our country’s current tax system.

As Cain explained on the call:

The point of the rabbit ad was to highlight the fact that our tax code is killing small business in America, which generates over 70% of all jobs in America.  And instead of more discussions about the Buffet Tax, the millionaires tax, which loopholes we want to illuminate, which new loopholes we want to put in, I have made the case all along we need to throw it out and start over.  Throw it out and start over.  So the objective of the rabbit ad was to get people to wake up to the fact that we need to throw out the tax code and start over.

Cain later added:

Romney Caught Flip Flopping On Earmarks

We’d be the first to advocate that an elected official must have the capacity to evolve their positions over time; normally, seeing a politician move over to the “right side” of an issue is something we’d embrace.  The capacity for an individual to realize the error of their ways and take another position, especially in such a public profession, should be a sign of enlightenment and not necessarily a mark of weakness.

There is, however, an exception to this rule: Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is a prime example.  Romney has the distinction of having taken both sides of nearly every issue of his political career and, now with the release of the following video from 2002, Romney has undermined his current stated positions on earmarks and wasteful government spending.

This is a stark contrast to the position that Romney is currently promoting.

Please skip to the 1:36 mark

When videos like this surface, one must ask oneself if they believe the candidate/politician in question honestly saw the error in their previous positions or (as we suspect in the case of Romney) is said candidate willing to see which way the wind is blowing before doing whatever they can to tell voters whatever they think they want to hear in order to obtain a position of power?

Being citizens of Massachusetts, we are forced into “RomneyCare” (which inspired “ObamaCare) and we can tell you that Romney’s pride and joy, his socialist medicine utopia can only be kept alive through earmarks. Thanks for your hard-earned money, America.
