Liberal free for all coming to an end

We have to give the politicians and their corporate masters credit for being masters of deception. The Tea Party people have legitimate grassroots concerns about the massive debt and the direction of the country. This honest patriotic concern is being manipulated and distorted to create a poisoness paranoid atmosphere. Obama is being characterized as an evil power mad socialist bent on destroying the country. Social programs are evil, energy saving light bulbs are evil, family planning is evil. The Kock Bros, the Heritage Foundation and the other conservative "think" tanks that are supported by wealthy corporate interests feed the Tea Party with this irrational crap. The shocking thing is that a lot of people buy it and as demonstrated in Washington last week, it is working. Obama and Congress caved big time.
Certainly the debt is of concern but of greater concern is the economy. The stimulus saved the banks and big business but it is the thousands of small businesses in this country that provide the jobs that are so desperately needed yet they are getting little help from Washingtom.
