Where is the Tea Party when it comes to British Petroleum? Wasn't one of the main reasons we became a country due to the fact that we didn't like the King's monopoly (King George) on our economic system that taxed to death American citizens?
Now, we have a foreign country, Britain again, posing as an American corporation, while stealing our land, our resources and negligently causing disasters for all America, particularly the Gulf States.
And guess what? BP is going to use our taxes to pay for its mistakes! British Petroleum has effectively negated our Louisiana Purchase, and like King George at the birth of our nation, is now affecting and destroying the livelihoods of a third of America without firing a shot! Where is the Tea Party? What history don't they get?
Instead of declaring war on Britain, or attacking British Petroleum, they are rubbing shoulders with the likes of Sara Palin, who has made her deals with BP in Alaska. The Tea Party is the Me Party and its selfishness protects foreign investors while ignoring the plight of real Americans. Shame on them.
Their libertarian views turn out to be Toryterian views. They should rename
the party the Hipocrit Party or the Tory Party. Trust me, you can't
drink that unless, of course, you like Crudeaid.

Ventura
Recently one of our patriotic people wrote a comment in the 7/13 edition of the Star. The writer went on to say how American Flags in the Texas tract in Simi Valley were stolen from homeowners property. The vandals who did this cowardly act have no respect for life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness. Don't know what their mantra is but it probably is not very good.
Recently over 70 flags were destroyed by these same types of characters in Ventura near the pier. Like a thief in the night they smashed all the beautiful flags put out by responsible people to honor our great Country. The flag has long been an inspiration to all and shows a lasting tribute to all the good men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice so all of us could enjoy freedom.
I say to these folks that your actions are quite despicable.
Should you not like this wonderful Country there are many Countries who would welcomeyou. But don't disrespect their beliefs and ideals because they would be less tolerant than this freedom loving Country.
The TEA in TEA Party stands for Taxed Enough Already. You shouldn't get sidetracked by the BP. Remember the main goal - stop and or reduce taxes.
Lots of people an irritation during the butt to share what people wrote but our site is absolutely convenient to use!
