New hope with a new party

Picking up where we left off a couple of hours ago...

Why, some will ask, is Walt (along with millions of others) so ticked off with Barry O'bama? If I don't like him, don't trust him, don't believe him, I must be a racist, right? No!

The disenchantment with President O (as in "zero") is not a racist thing. To suggest that is the typically arrogant and dismissive approach of the so-called "urban intelligentsia". Our disillusionment is based on the realization that O's "hope" message was a cynical and effective ploy to get elected.

Tea Party members aren't racist. They are merely libertarians who are sick and tired of the same old left-liberal "solutions" to the economic and social problems which the very same liberal elite has created.*

Has it occurred to these pious windbags that people are just sick and tired of being lorded over and taxed to death by a nanny state hell-bent (let us pray) on placating special interests, greasing every minority wheel that squeaks?

Do you want a gay pride parade? Fine. I don't care. Just don't ask me to pay for it.

Do you not like guns? Fine. Don't buy one. And don't run crying to Tim Horton's in search of a cop because you can't defend yourself.

Do you want to stone someone to death for adultery? Fine. Go cast the first stone in a Muslim theocracy where that's the law.

Not everyone who yells "Enough is enough!" is an unenlightened knuckle-dragger who likely beats his wife. More likely he's just a perfectly normal but damn angry white man (or woman) who's not going to take it any more!

If that describes you, I invite you to join my new party, which is destined for even greater things than the Tea Party.

Frankly, I thought the name "Tea Party" was kind of silly, so got thinking of some alternatives. "Libertarian Party" is already taken. You can look it up. So I thought of People's United People, but the abbreviation PUP is less than inspiring. People's Party and People's Union didn't work either.

So I am pleased to announce that all libertarians who have had enough and just want the government to leave them alone are welcome to join the Fed Up Party, or FU for short.

Membership in the Fed Ups entitles you to tell the next pol who knocks on your door, "I'm going to give my vote to FU!" or "I've made my decision. FU!"

I'm pleased to announce as well that we already have our first candidate, the eminently electable John Noone. When you go to vote this fall, ask yourself...

Who will listen to the opinions of ordinary citizens? NOONE!

Who cares about the workers who pay the taxes for all these "services" and "programs"? NOONE!

Who will punish criminals, especially those guilty of breach of trust? NOONE!

Who will close the doors on bogus refugees and illegal aliens? NOONE!

Who will govern with honesty and integrity, in the best interests of our country? NOONE!

The choice is clear. Vote for Noone! FU! FU very much!
