Life after 60 – Adventure

Tea Party July 4, 2009 in Gun Barrel City, Texas

by on Mar.31, 2010, under Cedar Creek Lake Life

I know this is a late posting, but with all the talk lately about the Tea Party becoming a real party I thought now might be a good tme to post the photographs that I never got around to posting last Fourth of July. This Tea Party to place in a retirement community in Henderson County and in Gun Barrel City. I spent many years covering politics and governments in large and small cities. The Cedar Creek larea area is about 60 miles S/E of Dallas and a lot of people here get involved in their communities and even attend council meetings. The photos below are of some local residents and their children. What I always liked about the City of Gun Barrel City is that their city motto was “We shoot straight with you.”

 

 

I am curious

 – what do YOU think –

should the Tea Party become an officially recognized party like the Republican and Democratic?

Do you think it would survive or go the way of Ross Perot’s party?

    Our major issue in this country is our two political parties. Our forefathers knew that a two party system would be our downfall and took steps to try to stop this type of politics, and thus anyone who seriously thinks that politics isn’t corrupt or slaves to Corporate America hasn’t not been paying attention. George Jr. will go down in History as one of the worst administrations in history and I could go on for hours showing why, but my point is that the Obama administration has offered nothing different (besides health reform, granted) and has in fact continued nearly every single Bush program. Obama has almost the same political donors and thus has the same pressures as Bush did. Health reform will turn out to be the most expensive and destructive waste of tax payer money ever. I just wish I could offer a better alternative for other frustrated people, but I can’t and those that think that the tea partiers are the future, remember that Sarah Palin is an important figure to them.
