This past Saturday, a few hundred weird and ridiculously unattractive old people gathered for a rally at the State Capitol to protest the unconstitutional, tyrannical, communist bullcrap known as Obamacare. You know, that controversial piece of healthcare legislation that was passed by the legislative branch, signed by the executive branch and recently upheld as constitutional by the judicial branch.
Of course, the Oklahoman was all over the rally:
Government is too big and unresponsive, corporations have too much power and the burden of national health care legislation passed in 2010 will be borne by hardworking taxpayers who don't want it.
That was the resounding rally cry of several hundred people who gathered Saturday outside the Oklahoma Capitol to protest the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last week to uphold the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Organized by Oklahoma 10th Amendment Center and several other conservative action groups, the “Rally for Healthcare Independence” was a call to action to end perceived tyranny on the state and federal level.
“Right now the people that are in control of your government are not the politicians you elect many times but the corporations they take money from,” Toby Pedford, owner of Legacy Wealth Strategies, told the crowd gathered at the south steps of the state Capitol.
Under a parasol of gray clouds, the self-identified tea party member said the legislation's mandate that all Americans buy health insurance or face a fine is a “forced exchange” that goes against the free market.
“We have to use the word ‘tyranny' because that's what it is,” Pedford said to hoots and hollers of support and applause. “If I can come to your house or your business and tell you how much you owe me, it's a shakedown.”
Pedford and several other speakers outlined a series of steps that should be taken to make the government more responsive.
When I was reading the article, my first thought was that I wish I could have been there with some ear plugs and a camera. Seriously, just look at the pictures on NewsOK. That rally looks like some patriotic Golden Corral convention gone awry.
My second thought was "Why do I know the name Toby Pedford?" I did a quick Google search on him, and would you believe it, we wrote about Toby when he made the Oklahoma Truth Council's list of 25 Young Oklahomans to Watch. He was the black tea party dude (pictured above) who hangs out with porn stars!
Wait...what???
OKTruthCouncil.com: "Pedford has been at the heart of the OKC Tea Party since inception. A former candidate for Republican Oklahoma County Chairman, he has shown that he has ambition for his future. The future does looks bright for this conservative, if he chooses to pursue it."
Wow. Not only is Oklahoma the lone spot in the worlds where you can find naturally occurring Hourglass Selanite Salt Crystals, but it looks like it’s the only place where you can also find an African American Tea Partier. Black Tea Parties are rarer than a mistake by Gary England or a 1987 Topps Jim Traber error card.
That being said, other than their misguided political principles, Black Tea Partiers are just like regular old average guys. For example, they also like to hang out with (and apparently live with?) twin-sister porn stars:
Yeah, I'm going to answer the obvious question first. The girls in the pic are known as the Potter Twins. They are hardcore adult film actresses. If you're at work right now, DO NOT Google their names. Repeat, DO NOT Google their names. If you're at home, feel free. Just be prepared to see some borderline crimes against nature. Also, remember to clear your search history before your wife gets home.
Anyway, I checked Toby's Facebook page and it looks like he's removed the picture from his profile. I'm not sure why, but I'd guess he did so because he's wearing a Santa Claus hat and posing with twin sister porn stars and a bald white dude in a Mickey's shirt. That's such a liberal communist thing to do, and you know how much Tea Party folks dislike immoral communists like Barack Hussein Obama.
Also, I like how he commented "I love you girls. Best roomies EVER." Even though I've never lived with twin sister porn stars, I can image they'd be cool roommates. Along with Barrack Hussein Obama being an anti-American, Kenyan-born communist overlord with General Zod-like powers, that's one of the few a tea party statements I can actually agree with.
