"Take Back OUR Country"

"Take Back OUR Country" 

 

March 17, 2010

[Note: St. Patrick's Day, much like any other day unless you are Irish or you enjoy participating in some of the merriment surrounding it.  My mother's name is Mallory.  Probably O'Mallory if you go back far enough.  

So while I definitely have some of the blood, I have none of the authenticity or enthusiasm of Don Millard or as we know him on Twitter @OTOOLEFAN who openly admits on his bio that he "loves everything Irish".  I have long admired his keen sense of political satire and thought that it would be appropriate to make the following tweet:]

Merry St. Patrick's Day 2 everyone or as we like 2 call it here on twtter: 

"HAPPY @OTOOLEFAN DAY"  

[This next tweet sets the stage for how Progressives on Twitter #p2)  feel about the lunacy of the Right-Wing, GOP, Tea Party or as they originally named themselves:

"Teabaggers". 

It also shows how we feel about CNN becoming more like FOX, Glen Beck, and the like]
 

Eradicate Hate, Division, Bigotry by #StopBeck @StopBeck and of course #TurnOffFox @TurnOffFox #p2




   
[Much of the rhetoric we hear from the Right coming from the Palin, Rush, Beck, Bachman, worshipers on twitter is the constant shrill of "Government is the enemy" theme. 

Right after I sent that last tweet, I happened to notice another one of the zillions of such tweets about 'Government = BAD' came floating by on the #tcot channel.

#tcot = top conservatives on twitter

That was when the thought occurred to me that these were the same folk who supported Bush and were quite silent as he destroyed our country, economy, took us to war, deregulation, water-boarding and other torture, Patriot Act, countless scandals, corruption, 'heck-of-a-job Brownie' deregulation, bank bailouts, corporate welfare, etc, etc.  

Worse yet, let it never be forgot that the WORST Terrorist attack in the history of the U. S. happened on Bush's watch and with ample prior warning. 

Yet the #tcot folk are totally unaware of any of this history as they remain obsessed with fear, division, and downright hatred for anything Obama, Democrat, Left, Progressive, etc.]

[So I quickly fired off the next two tweets: ]

Look #tcot Government is NOT the enemy. GOP & Corporate governance; Now THAT is the ENEMY #p2


Damn #tcot says they love our country. Yet they HATE the government along with all it does for "The People" WTF? #p2

[That started me on a theme of what "Take back our country" really means to these Right-Wing Nut Jobs (RWNJ) as shown in this next tweet:]


When #tcot says "Take back our Country" what they mean is back to the Dark Ages #p2

[A little bit of tweet tweaking and I came up with a format, template if your will, to start in on a another one of those rants on one theme that became the following series of tweets]

"Take Back OUR Country"

For the record #tcot "Take Back OUR Country" is what Democrats did after SCOTUS helped Bush steal two elections. #p2

"Take Back OUR Country" is what President Bill Clinton did after 8 years of Reagan and 4 years of Bush I.

 

[All of these tweets were written on the spot.  Given more time, I'm sure we can come up with many more for this theme including some with more humor and satire.  

At the point I wrote the last one I got interrupted with several other issues.  I'm posting these now so that anyone that missed them can catch them here and use them to further annoy the extremist on the Right aka #tcot.  

If you have some more of your own to add to this collection, please let me know and I will welcome their addition

Please feel free to use any of these as the need or desire arises.  If you don't have enough space for the tweet plus tags just put #ldh instead of  'RT@larrydhalstead' at the beginning of the tweet or 'via @larrydhalsead at the end.


Just keep getting the message out! Use some of these, edit as needed, write your own, but get the message out. Let the centrist in this country know that government is not the enemy bad managers are the enemy. Hate, division, fear-mongering; that is the enemy.


Big thanks for ALL who participate in any of rants or banter. Love the comments and the RTs which lend valuable assistance and make the experience rich and fun.

THANK YOU!
