'Pensacola Jeff': One brave soul speaks the truth, and is greeted by boos, at teabagging party in Pensacola, FL

And thanks, of course, for the Wings award (and the nomination above).

I didn't think I was doing anything extraordinary, but I guess it's had a pretty far-reaching impact. Of course, the naysayers are piling on at my blog, but what should one expect? Good thing I have a thick skin ...

Anyway, "Pensacola Jeff" is a new one for me; on my blog, I go by "Sinfonian." But I guess I'll answer to pretty much anything these days ... and if you can get me a job out of all this, well, all the better. :)

“THE PARTY WITH THE BEST RECORD OF SERVING REPUBLICAN ECONOMIC VALUES IS THE DEMOCRATS, AND IT ISN’T EVEN CLOSE!” -Michael Kingsley-

1). FEDERAL SPENDING: since 1960 Republicans increased Federal Spending by 71% more than have Democrats

2). FEDERAL DEBT: since 1960 Republicans have increased the National debt by 100% more per year than have Democrats.

3). GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: since 1921, adjusted for inflation, Democrats out-produce Republicans by 43% . Starting in 1940 the Democratic advantage is 23% better.

4). REAL PER CAPITA INCOME: since 1960 Democrats have outperformed Republicans by 30%. (This is perhaps the most important economic statistic of all)

5). INFLATION: since 1960, Democrats outperform Republicans 3.13% to 3.89%

6). UNEMPLOYMENT: since 1960 it decreases in an average Democratic year by 0.3% to 5.33%, and increases in average Republican year by 1.1% to 6.38%.

7). JOB CREATION: from 1945 to 2003, Democrats produced 174,200 jobs per month, Republicans have only produced 60,600 per month. Every time a Democrat succeeds a Republican, job creation soars. Every time a Republican succeeds a Democrat job creation plummets. NO EXCEPTIONS!

8). DOW JONES AVERAGE: since 1921 the DOW has increased by 52% more under Democratic administrations

9). THE BOND MARKET: since 1940 the value of 10 year Treasury bonds rose 1.2% under Democrats and fell 0.5% under Republicans

RESULTS MATTER, VOTE DEMOCRATIC!

Please nominate him for Secretary of State for the great State of Florida. I have a feeling he'll do a better job of counting the votes the next time around there. Truly, truly a brave man and a good one.

It is my understanding that there will be many more teabag protests throughout the year. And they will get worse if the republicans can manage to brainwash Americans. We all know that republicans are the masters of brainwashing. As Janeane Garofalo said, this is about hating the black president and demanding white power. Republicans are playing with fire there and they know it. Republican masters of deception know that pushing race, taxes, and terrorists can incite violence from ignorant Americans who cannot think for themselves. My prediction is republicans will try to orchestrate a division in this country that will be mindful of the turmoil surrounding the civil rights movement. What they are attempting are clearly, subversive acts. Does anyone really think that when the new Homeland Security Dept. warned of a rise in Right-Wing extremism they were just poking around in the dark?

This mess goes way back to the tyranny of LBJ, his criminal war, domestic oppression and to the decoupling our currency from gold under the felonious Nixon. One might argue that it goes back much further to the 1913 Federal Reserve Act that placed our monetary policy under the control of a private secretive and unaccountable bank and soon after the Income Tax that had previously been ruled as unconstitutional. Government got bigger fast with every crisis. Much later under the Gipper the ideas of deregulation took hold with out regard to the lessons of the 1930's and accelerated with some of the most damaging deregulation of banks passing under Clinton. Then there was the Bush Administration giving us the most misguided, incompetent, criminal Federal government in history. Now we have Obama who is continuing on with and expanding the same policies of physical irresponsibility, un-sustainability and anti American, anti constitutional oppression as Bush. He has retained and expanded upon the Bush era policy of illegal wire taping and spying on the people. Decent is largely being squashed or ignored by the MSM just as it was under Bush. The war in Afghanistan is being expanded and the new military budget is larger than the last one under Bush. Not hardly a peep from the progressive crowd. Gitmo is not closed. Rendition has been retained. The Administration can still label anyone at any time a terrorist and arrest them at their whim. Third party's are now considered as potential terrorist organizations. Differing opinion is still considered descent. New consumptive taxes have already begun to be levied with more to come. No effort is being made to bring the Bush criminals to justice the only rational reason being that so no prescient of accountability is set for current leaders to fear. The same criminal bankers are getting more bail out money than ever and they are represented by their own people in Obama's administration. The government still uses only one of their unemployment categories to report a misleading unemployment figure. If the whole report was used as it was prior to Clinton the unemployment rate would now be at about 16%. No new promised transparency there. No MSM to challenge it either. No more mark to market rule so the banks can assign any value they want to their worthless toxic assets rather than the real value. That makes the books look better. Banker Lipstick and makeup to hide reality endorsed by your Federal Government of course. We have lost the nation never to return to the Republic of free people our founders established. I'll bet very few on the left or right can even fathom the truth and will still believe the government under or party or the other will save them and other party is to blame even when they are living in a tent and standing in a soup line, sick and cold.

and add: "and sneaking in the truth like vegetables to a picky eater" is a terrific line. May I appropriate it at the right moment?

If it's not too late, I wish to nominate Pensacola Jeff for next week's Wings Of Justice award.

This guy has absolutely the right tactic. Go to the right-wing rallies. Get the microphone. Find the common ground. No name-calling or disrespect. Then hit them with the simple, irrefutable facts. He might have left off blaming the republicans at the end, and simply left them with the fact that Obama is cutting their taxes. Glen Beck isn't telling them that.
