SOUTH BEND, Ind. — When Tom Grimes lost his job as a financial consultant 15 months ago, he called his congressman, a Democrat, for help getting government health care.
Then he found a new full-time occupation: Tea Party activist.
In the last year, he has organized a local group and a statewide coalition, and even started a "bus czar" Web site to marshal protesters to Washington on short notice. This month, he mobilized 200 other Tea Party activists to the local office of the same congressman to protest what he sees as the government’s takeover of health care.
Mr. Grimes, who receives Social Security, has filled the back seat of his Mercury Grand Marquis with the literature of the movement, including Glenn Beck’s "Arguing With Idiots" and Frederic Bastiat’s "The Law," which denounces public benefits as "false philanthropy."
"If you quit giving people that stuff, they would figure out how to do it on their own," Mr. Grimes said.
The fact that many of them joined the Tea Party after losing their jobs raises questions of whether the movement can survive an improvement in the economy, with people trading protest signs for paychecks.
My question/comment to Mr Grimes and his colleagues/comrades/fellow shitheads: If you don't believe in government help; why are you accepting the aid. Give it back and shut up? Go work for McDonalds or do some restaurant work; chop onions, prep vegetables sweep the floors, tend bar.
I am a progressive and I did those jobs and I worked along with the Hispanics/African Americans/Asians that you hate. Have you ever talked to them/hung out with them after work I thought so!
