Big Government
Like a bad cold it can’t shake, the left continues to attempt to blame every ill on George W. Bush. But as one activists in the video pointed out, its actually one Barack Obama and Senator Dick Durbin who are about to hand a massive check to the very company responsible for one of the worst environmental disasters in history.
The Durbin Amendment to the financial reform bill is the latest government policy proposal that will pad BP’s bottom line. The amendment would create a government imposed price control scheme that would shift billions of dollars away from consumer to retailers (British Petroleum, Exxon, WalMart). That’s why the Durbin Amendment is supported by the big retailers like Walmart, Petroleum Marketers Association and other prominent lobbyist groups which are funded, in part, by British Petroleum.
Proponents cynically and falsely claim it would help consumers, but its hard to see many consumers feeling benefited by paying higher prices while mega corporations increase their profits.
The Financial Reform bill is nothing short of an unmitigated disaster for our country. Bailouts will be permanently enshrined into law. The Federal Reserve will be empowered, not reformed. Left wing and union activists will be encouraged to interfere with the operations of companies through the proxy access provisions. The bill’s broad definiation of ”nonbank financial company” that would mean that many Main Street companies would be hit with regulations, taxation and possibily nationalization by the Federal Rererve. And of course, ground zero for the financial crisis — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — remain untouched and unchanged by the bill.
None of this seems to bother left wing activists and members of Congress. Left wing activists are willing to beat conservatives who are speaking out against this monstrosity. Unfortunately, the real damage will be done to our economy and free market system and will be injured for years to come.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
It might get pretty ugly by November, that’s for sure. The louder and more effective the Tea Party becomes then the more they are seen as an enemy that needs to be squashed.
This time it was only one counter protester. Next time it may be a group of SEIU types. I imagine it will really heat up in October and November. There may be a need for security in the future. Now the Left is trying to block First Amendment rights.
You’ve seen some of those pictures of men carrying guns at Tea Party gatherings. Those were in states with open carry laws and those men were Tea Party members who armed themselves after SEIU thugs, who never seem to work, roughed up that guy in St. Louis and other areas.
After assaulting that woman and guy, I’m surprised this guy was allowed to drive away. When being confronted by leftists at a rally like this, you best be prepared to return punches real fast.
Well a couple more of these assaults then things will really get violent. The Tea Parties are not going to put up with this.
When the tea parties first started, everybody laughed at then suddenly they’ve realized these people are for real and are growing in numbers.
As Tom says, the Union thugs will start getting more and more aggresive, the tea party’s are ruining their gravy train, because they don’t want to pay for it too.
Thanks so much all of you for your input.
It is like a pot that starts to boil over, little by little the water inchs up the side of the pot then……… that is what all this feels like.
