Who Scares You the Most?

◼ I am truly fascinated by the name calling and vitriol directed at Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and other Tea Party folks. - LARRY JOHNSON/NO QUARTER

The essence of the Tea Party is this–Government has grown too big and too hungry. The beast of the bureaucracy can only be tamed by cutting funds and cutting authority. That’s why nitwits (speaking of name calling) like McCain and King are so viciously attacking Cruz and Lee....

...Six months from now the Sturm und Drang of today will be forgotten. Americans will be focused on spring flooding, tornados, a sluggish economy and rising costs from Obama care. Not just the rising costs. Less availability of quality health care, as doctors pull out of the system and hospitals scale back.

What will linger in the memory of many thinking Americans is how much abusive power the Government has. The memory of blocking access to National Parks by the storm troopers masquerading as Park Rangers will leave lasting resentment. The Dems should enjoy while they can the illusion that they are winning the budget battle. They are not. Americans are fed up with a Government that is bloated, has too much power and can so blithely ignore the wishes of the very people who fund it.
