TIME FOR A REALITY CHECK WRITTEN OUT TO OUR NATION 

Lest the Monday morning establishment quarterbacks throw back one more Long Island iced tea to dilute the truth and delude themselves and others, let’s recap the game.

While the congress and the country merrily marched themselves in darkness towards the end of the monetary cliff someone, Ted Cruz, had the audacity to turn on the spotlight to highlight the dangers of an already out of control new entitlement program that had initial start-up cost projected at under $100 million to now well over $600 mil and climbing with no end in sight. The situation made all the more ludicrous because it can’t even perform the fundamentals of simple signups let alone controlling the administration of several hundred million new patients.

Intertwine this with an administration that insisted the $16 trillion deficit was not enough and spending caps are a silly idea anyways (try running that line by any spouse who is trying to inject sanity into a home budget) and you have for a grand parade of the emperor showing off his new invisible clothes while all in attendance coo at his awesomeness. So it wasn’t a surprise that someone, Cruz, and someones, the Tea Party patriots, would step to the fore and try to put the brakes on this idiotic death march.

As far as I can tell, The Tea Party people of this country are comprised of the only sane, eyes wide open group speaking truth to power that is out there. They clearly see the dangers ahead for our free republic so do not be surprised that they are serving up steaming hot tea with an extra dose of passion.

Do what you will, it is still a free country after all, but don’t shoot the messenger just because you don’t like the message!
