OSU student organizes Columbus' tax protest

And they are not "right wing extremists" the way the Homeland Security claims.
    "COLUMBUS- Americans for Prosperity, ShotsontheHouse.com, various college groups, and various community groups are once again joining forces to combat reckless local, state, and government spending.

    A rally is planned as part of the national tax day tea party movement at 6 PM, April 15th, in front of the Ohio Statehouse.

    Justin Higgins, a Columbus area blogger and Ohio State student said that, “these protests really tap into the communities and they’re upset. They’re tired of stupid bailouts, lying politicians, and trillions being dumped down the drain in the name of stimulus.” Justin runs www.ShotsontheHouse.com and served as the Master of Ceremonies for an AFP protest event held on March 14h. He’s assisting in the organization of the April 15th event.
It's OK to fund ACORN protesters, code pinkoes at veterans' hospitals during war time, call pork a "stimulus" plan, and drive vote fraud participants by left wing extremists by bus and van to Ohio in November, but let a few loyal Americans gather on Tax Day to peacefully protest the outrageous behavior of our elected representatives--both parties--and all of a sudden we're a threat to Homeland Security? Elected representatives trotting off to Cuba and lunch with Castro. No threat. Obama taking over the auto industry. No threat. More troops for Afghanistan. No threat. A tax cheat in charge of the Department of Treasury. No threat. Liberal columnists, working for newspapers going under, are grasping for breath and straws, hoping to sell more yellow journalism (when it's the advertisers, i.e. capitalists, not subscribers they need to please) are going crazy. They say it hasn't galvanized the Republican party. Well duh! This isn't about the Republican party, for Pete's Sake. George Bush threw so much tax money at social problems that only Obama has been able to top him. Republicans are the Me-Too Party, not the Tea Party.

Then there's the lefty wackos at Huff and Puff, trying to blame Glenn Beck and talk radio, and reporting that some web site has made a fortune ($48,000) selling tea party memorabilia. Gee, the Democrats spent more than that renting housing in Columbus for the "residents" from other states to come here and register "disenfranchised" voters. They are probably unemployed journalists using a silk screen in the basement to create t-shirts.

Obama's line today: "For too long, we've seen taxes used as a wedge to scare people into supporting policies that increased the burden on working people instead of helping them live their dreams," Obama said. "That has to change, and that's the work that we've begun."

Yes sir, we aim to change that, with or without you. Although I don't know what he's talking about since it's his tax policies that are scary!

Morning Bell: "What does unite the protesting taxpayers is the unprecedented expansion of federal government power and spending that has taken place over the last 14 months. Starting with President Bush’s $168 billion economic stimulus, through the 2008 housing bailout, TARP I, TARP II, President Obama’s trillion dollar stimulus, the auto bailout, etc. Americans have grown more and more wary of the ever expanding size and scope of the federal government."
