I will complain about the destruction of my 2nd Amendment Rights in this country, while I am duly being allowed to exercise my 2nd Amendment rights by legally but brazenly brandishing unconcealed firearms in public.

I will foreswear the time-honored principles of fairness, decency, and respect by screaming unintelligible platitudes regarding tyranny, Nazi-ism, and socialism at public town halls. Also.

I pledge to eliminate all government intervention in my life. I will abstain from the use of and participation in any socialist goods and services including but not limited to the following:

Social Security
Medicare/Medicaid
State Children’s Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP)
Police, Fire, and Emergency Services
US Postal Service
Roads and Highways
Air Travel (regulated by the socialist FAA)
The US Railway System
Public Subways and Metro Systems
Public Bus and Lightrail Systems
Rest Areas on Highways
Sidewalks
All Government-Funded Local/State Projects (e.g., see Iowa 2009 federal senate appropriations)
Public Water and Sewer Services (goodbye socialist toilet, shower, dishwasher, kitchen sink, outdoor hose!)
Public and State Universities and Colleges
Public Primary and Secondary Schools
Sesame Street
Publicly Funded Anti-Drug Use Education for Children
Public Museums
Libraries
Public Parks and Beaches
State and National Parks
Public Zoos
Unemployment Insurance
Municipal Garbage and Recycling Services
Treatment at Any Hospital or Clinic That Ever Received Funding From Local, State or Federal Government (pretty much all of them)
Medical Services and Medications That Were Created or Derived From Any Government Grant or Research Funding (again, pretty much all of them)
Socialist Byproducts of Government Investment Such as Duct Tape and Velcro (Nazi-NASA Inventions)
Use of the Internets, email, and networked computers, as the DoD's ARPANET was the basis for subsequent computer networking
Foodstuffs, Meats, Produce and Crops That Were Grown With, Fed With, Raised With or That Contain Inputs From Crops Grown With Government Subsidies
Clothing Made from Crops (e.g. cotton) That Were Grown With or That Contain Inputs From Government Subsidies
If a veteran of the government-run socialist US military, I will forego my VA benefits and insist on paying for my own medical care

I will not tour socialist government buildings like the Capitol in Washington, D.C.

I pledge to never take myself, my family, or my children on a tour of the following types of socialist locations, including but not limited to:

Smithsonian Museums such as the Air and Space Museum or Museum of American History
The socialist Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson Monuments
The government-operated Statue of Liberty
The Grand Canyon
The socialist World War II and Vietnam Veterans Memorials
The government-run socialist-propaganda location known as Arlington National Cemetery
All other public-funded socialist sites, whether it be in my state or in Washington, DC
I will urge my Member of Congress and Senators to forego their government salary and government-provided healthcare.

I will oppose and condemn the government-funded and therefore socialist military of the United States of America.

I will boycott the products of socialist defense contractors such as GE, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Humana, FedEx, General Motors, Honeywell, and hundreds of others that are paid by our socialist government to produce goods for our socialist army.

I will protest socialist security departments such as the Pentagon, FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, TSA, Department of Justice and their socialist employees.

Upon reaching eligible retirement age, I will tear up my socialist Social Security checks.

Upon reaching age 65, I will forego Medicare and pay for my own private health insurance until I die.

SWORN ON A BIBLE AND SIGNED THIS DAY OF __________ IN THE YEAR ___.

Daily Kos: The Teabagger Socialist-Free Purity Pledge
'Perfect for viral email, my friends. You know what to do"

This simple list of what Kos tries to call socialist is too simple for me. I wonder if you know what kind of roads the number one socialist country had for its people to move around on. The Soviet Union had some ouststanding roads from the right city to the right city but the farmers had to haul on roads that were nothing but potholes.

Now can you tell me how you and Kos think that promoting commerce by building roads that couldn't be built by individuals. You have to know that that list of crqp was just that, crap. Very little socialist programs there but if Obama and his crew get their way we will really have socialism.

Wrong.. absolutely, positively WRONG... Tea party protestors are not protesting state or local government because many of the items listed are indeed a local issue, where direct taxpayers can all vote on if higher taxes to receive those benefits are worth paying for. Those who choose not to pay into those taxes can indeed decide to move to another municipality where they can choose to offset lower taxes for less police, inadaquate zoos, or a lack of museums or activities to attend.

That choice does not exist on a federal level, and many of the items listed the US Constitution directly FORBIDS the federal government from getting involved with the 14th amendment..

Sorry teabagging is a democrat thing.
Along with drinking a nice glass of morning pee
and a bracing coffee enema. (those are popular homopathic sic, health practices)
You people are creepy

Government isn't government, supported by taxes? Someone forgot to tell me and the Boulder County tax collector!

I've heard many different issues that Tea Party protestors are protesting. There have been Tea Parties in many parts of the country, not just DC. What are these people protesting in Denver, Omaha, etc?

Everyone taking part in protesting across the country are all protesting the FEDERAL government getting involved in taxing and spending where they dont belong.

The fact that ALL government is supported by taxes means nothing without examining that indeed many things, such as public safety, should be taxed and spent at a local level, where those who live in the community can directly decide how many police officers are needed and if the cost is worth the reward of extra safety.

Who better to know then individuals in Boulder if they have adaquate fire, the quality of education, if the number of police is enough to provide for your safety, or if you have enough public activities like zoos, museums, and/or parks to attend? You think Washington is better equipped to know your needs than your own local politicians and taxing boroughs, where you can pickup the phone and call to voice your opinion?

Tell me why someone in Florida should be paying taxes to support your local parks, or your local library? Hell, if you wont fund it, why do you expect others to?

[PPG]

Lol! He said wrong absolutely positively wrong. LOL!!! Well if it's one thing he knows...... Some people truely live in a alternate universe.

Great threat btw. The rebutall's were even greater!

Once again, government isn't government. LOL!

You have already stated here on the board a number of times that you don't pay taxes, anyway.

What's the difference to you, if I might ask, how the government spends the revenue it collects?
