Note to Tea Baggers: Lincoln Was a Liberal

One of the more hilarious aspects of the tea bagger crowd, besides their personal contradiction when it comes to social services, is their fondness for Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln with tea baggers at local event

This was the case-- again-- last Saturday night in Williamson County when a local tea bag chapter held a Patriotic rally at the Marion Cultural and Civic Center that drew a whopping crowd of 300.  Getting past the fact that the Civic Center was built with tax payer money, that the attendees drove to the event on roads built with tax payer money and that most of the organizers and attendees were or are employed by tax payer money, it then becomes easier to focus on the simple fact that Lincoln was a liberal and is the father of federal supremacy.  But, hey, enough with facts let's talk about shrinking government!!

In addition to the small government, state's rights Lincoln, Joe the Plumber (aka Joe Wurzelbacher) was in attendance and gave a talk about how he would not let the country fall.  Joe the Plumber, who doesn't have a license to plumb, was once on welfare and has numerous times received unemployment benefits.  Enough, enough, it's time for some more small government talk.

Maybe we really should consider the tea bagger proposal to bring back literacy tests before allowing people to vote.  I'm starting to think that doesn't sound like a bad idea.
