Not wishing to sound so graphic here, but Al Qaeda, must be laughing at this country as the Tea Party Movement protest so angrily and say: "We have got them from the short hairs." I even hate saying that in any editorial where I reference the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt. But, I just had to.

To the Tea Party Movement exactly where was your voice in the past as you allowed the Bush administration to sink us further into debt? In looking at FDR'S program: Wouldn't you wish that for every single American? If the answer to that is no: Can God even forgive you?

When the collapse of Wall Street took place in 2008: Where were you then? It was only when it came to spending money on health care for all Americans did it get your dander up.

To the Tea Party Movement as I look upon FDR's proposed Second Bill of Rights and listen to your rhetoric, how I wish he had lived to see that day when it was enacted. The way I see it now is that you are all the guardians of corporate America.
