Political Humor

April 15th is glaring at us from just over the horizon. I can feel its glowing, hungry eyes boring holes in my bank account. It’s a dreaded day in America, but not all of us feel the sting of the Tax Whip.

Fact is, 47% of all household in our fair and free country will pay no Federal Income taxes what so ever for 2009. That’s right, a big fat zero. The top 10% of taxpayers will pay 73% of the burden, while 43% will pay the remaining 27% of the Federal Income Tax.

I don’t know about you, I fall into that 43%, but I’m more than willing to be in the top 10%. I’ll pay my share of taxes. That’s not the issue.  I have a problem with many of those who don’t or won’t.

I understand that we have an obligation to aid those who truely need our help. I support giving them a hand. It’s the free-loaders that get my goat.

When those of you are preparing you signs for the April 15th Tea Parties, consider this one:

No Representation Without Taxation!

That should ruffle some feathers.

Here are more pictures from the Manchester New Hampshire Tea Party but first a little something about the media coverage…

I loved how the media played dogpile on the rabbit when it came to the Tea Parties. And the liberals call themselves animal lovers?

Some seemed excited, even giddy to oblige of course.

The way he was panting and salivating, I wondered if Keith Olbermann hit his head on the bashing bandwagon ceiling on the way into the MSNBC studios Wednesday.

There is no truth to the rumor this caused another tingling in Chris Matthews’ leg however.

Can you blame the reporters of CNN though?

They had to take time out of their busy schedule writing up exposes of Obama’s new dog (no not Olbermann) or noting Barack’s awesome talent for gift-giving to cover the rallies of the radicals.

CNN Reporter: “They call this a protest? They didn’t even have bottled mineral water. Wait until the boys at the yacht club hear about this travesty.”

Oh the humanity!

No wonder why they were so edgy covering the American extremists.

I just hope someone handed Susan Roesgen a Midol after her Tea Party interview. Lord knows she could have used one.

On with the pics…

You know someone was going there eventually with a Hitler/Obama comparison. Then again, organizing a community to hate another group of people could technically be considered the job duties of a community organizer.

Oh geez I just went there too. Whoops.

How can you tell this is not a liberal rally? The United States flag of course.

To borrow a phrase from the liberal moonbats: “Yes we can!”

From within the eye of the tax revolt storm. And what’s up with the “glowing” church in the background?

Because Obama’s team cares about us. Really they do. Just ask them.

The best sign contest at the end of the Tea Party. In the foreground are some of the Drunken Sailors.

Too late. Our tax dollars are already hard at work helping ACORN, the liberal organization with the acronym for a type of nut recruit people for their evil bidding.

The sign on the left reminds me of a great quote from talk show host Jerry Doyle:

“The opposite of pro is con and the opposite of progress is Congress.”

No that shadow is not me. It is the shadow of Tax-You-To-Death lurking at our doorstep. It also might have been the guy next to me taking a picture though. Not sure 100%.

It means something but I still don’t get the blanket part. Wish I had thought to ask her about it then.

On a side note is that a 1984 sign in the background? If not it is 1994 which should send chills down Democrats’ spines. 2010 is not far away…

Not to worry, it still exists. We are personally responsible for giving our tax dollars to the government to squander.

This was the Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers‘ booth, one of the many political groups in attendance.

Wait, you mean Tim Geithner printing money in the middle of the night in the Treasury’s basement is counterfeiting? Obama said it was legal.

This was one of a rotating set of signs on a billboard on a pickup truck parked alongside the Tea Party. Nice of Nancy to feel something for NH being that she can’t feel her own face but I concur with the sentiment of course.

And finally one of my favorite pictures from the Tea Party…
