When was the last time you apologized to anyone? Maybe your spouse, your child, a friend – someone that YOU had hurt in some way.  It’s not always easy to apologize, but when it happens, the air is cleared between the two parties and life goes on.

Not so in the life of Democrats these days apparently.

I’m sure you’ve heard recently in the news about the alleged “tea partiers” that have threatened Democratic members of Congress and their families over the health care reform bill.  Did President Obama and his cronies not see this coming?  Did they really think they could pass health care “reform” when more than half of the American people were against it and not have people mad at them?  Get real!

Well, Congressman Alan Grayson of Florida has decided that anyone who is conservative, Republican, a member of the Tea Party, etc. should apologize for the threats that have come out this week.  Listen to this video below.

I don’t believe in making death threats against anyone and their family. That’s not how things will change in this country. In my opinion, that kind of conduct should be punished, especially if carried out against someone. That’s wrong.

But I also will not apologize for someone else’s stupid behavior – something that I have no control over.  I’ve seen enough of politics in my 49 years that I KNOW that all members in an organization are not always there for the same reason I am.  Who’s to say that the people making death threats aren’t plants to make conservatives and freedom loving Americans look bad.

I also find it interesting that the media is not giving the same kind of coverage to a man who was actually arrested in Philadelphia for making death threats against Republican House Minority Whip Eric Cantor.  This not-so-bright individual actually made videos of his threats on posted them online.  Not too smart!

So what about you?  Do you feel compelled to “apologize” for being angry about health care reform?  Not I!

Scenes from the Tea Party

I’m off to make a tshirt in our shop – “Your Mortgage is Not My Problem!”  I especially Like the acronym sticker “POOP” (people opposed to Obama’s policies)

Michelle has posted photos and feedback from the various “Tea Parties” around the country.  My favorite is the toddler with the shirt that says “Obama, get your hands out of my piggy bank!”.
