TUNNISIA, EGYPT…THIS MAY BE A TREND

Tunisia had riots that culminated in toppling the government

WHEN YOU SEE YOUR NEIGHBOR’S BEARD ON FIRE…YOU BETTER MOISTEN YOURS

(SPANISH SAYING: CUANDO VEAS LA BARBA DE TU VECINO ARDER…PON LA TUYA EN REMOJO)

The announcement came on Friday after many thousands of protesters mobbed the capital of Tunis to demand the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, and unconfirmed reports said he has already left the country. Prime Minister Ghannouchi announced on TV that he will hold power until early elections are held. (AP Photo)

Tea Baggers you are hereby put on notice: If you keep destroying the fabric of American society you may be causing a total collapse of our great nation…plagued with protests and riots that you will encourage and support. You keep talking about a 2^nd Amendment option and that is a call to arms, a call to insurrection…that is treason.

You propose nothing realistic in return: smaller government, government it the problem, no taxes, no Social Security, no Medicare, no public education…and yes, a tyrannical right-wing Christian Fundamentalist theocracy…so what you are selling…WE ARE NOT BUYING!

To those who are not Teahadists and say it can’t happen here; it already has - forty years ago we had riots in almost every major American city. Below are photos of the Los Angeles Watts riots which I witnessed right next door in the city of Huntington Park where I lived. I also feel very uneasy whenever I see and hear a call for insurrection as I lived through the Cuban Revolution in the late fifties that culminated in the takeover of a Marxist-Totalitarian regime.

Teahadists can only offer chaos and anarchy and if they do have a chance at taking power we are going to see a totalitarian, theocratic oligarchy. I remember too the fall of Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines and the deposition of Suharto in Indonesia. I find it hard to believe that any sane American would want to go that route.
