The Fresno Bee reports that an estimated 4,000 people attended a Tea Party rally in Fresno yesterday. Of course, you don't know how many of these people are the usual band of reactionaries, or how many went out to observe a freak show. It's a little like a traffic accident for some people. They just can't help looking at the carnage.
I loathe conservatives. They are racists, economic imperialists, nationalistic jingoists, and major league hypocrites. They gripe about "socialism," but have no problem with using Social Security, Medicare, and other government programs. They drive on tax-payer funded roads, use public water and sewage systems, buy food and medications regulated by the FDA, and on and on it goes. As the old saying goes, it's better to be silent and thought an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it.
