When can you call the most powerful person in the world a victim of those conniving right-wing radicals in the US Senate? When you’re Chris Matthews and you have your own little silly Sunday show, you can.

Watch the video, it’s at the end and it’s almost lost in the debate over who should be Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year.” Matthews goes with Mitch McConnell. Why? Because he is the person who made Barack Obama become the Cold Hearted Social Engineer that he is and thus helped the Republican sweep the November mid-terms.

“It’s Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader who forced the president to the left on every issue from health care to the stimulus. He made him into a left wing president because of Republican policy. It was brilliant. It allowed the Republicans to have a brilliant political year, I’m not sure it’s was in the country’s interest, but he made the big difference this year.”

Where to go on this one here? There are loads of fascinating peeks into the mind of Matthews in this one paragraph.

First, Matthews thinks it’s McConnell who “forced” Obama to the left. He must have never really been there to begin with, like an innocent child who is made to eat his broccoli; Obama was forced to take that radical leftist medicine that he never really wanted in the first place.

Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, and Saul Alinskiy had nothing to do with who Obama is today, he never heard any of their speeches, read any of their books, nor believed any of their radical leftist ideals. Obama made more left turns than a NASCAR weekend at Bristol only after McConnell forced him there a few short months ago.

Who is this little weakling in the White House? What does it say about Dear Leader that he is being pushed around so easily by the guy whose claim to fame is that he runs the minority?

I don’t know about you – but I’ve watched in awe as the Tea Party movement has taken America by a storm. People have questioned the authenticity of the Tea Party movement. People have called us all kinds of names. Nancy Pelosi called the Tea Party movement “Astroturf.” People have slandered us, tackled us, and yet the Tea Party movement has stood its ground, and is stronger than ever. I for one, feel the Tea Party is here to stay.

But not only is it important that people show up at the Tea Parties today, it’s important that they continue to show up down the road, because the problems we’re fighting aren’t going away just yet. But how can we guarantee that people will continue to show up? Is the Tea Party movement going to diminish over time? Here’s what I’m doing to ensure that people keep showing up at the Tea Parties, get informed and continue to hold politicians responsible…

Is the Tea Party only for adults? NO. An effort has been launched to get not only the adults who are falling into debt involved, but the people who are going to have to pay for this insurmountably massive debt in the future: the kids. Yep, the kids. We are the ones picking up the tab for the spending happening today. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this. (more…)
