As anyone who reads this blog can attest, I’m no great proofreader. Still, I gotta think that when you’re creating a sign of just 5-10 words in big letters that you’re going to be waving in people’s faces, you’d take the time to get it right. Apparently not.
Introducing the flickr photoset Teabonics, an ever expanding set of grammatically challenged signs from our friends in the Tea Party movement. Here’s my favorite:
And now, just because I can, here’s the song that I’m getting the title from:
Technically that sign is right. Feedom is never free.
I think that sign might possibly be meant to be a pun. A lame pun but nevertheless
I think you are overanalyzing…
I don’t know tbh, looking at things like the size of specific letters I think Talun may have a point.
The ‘feedom’ sign does at least have the apostrophe in the right place. Kudos for that…
What is this “feedom”? Is this a kingdom of fees?
Yes. They call it… Britain.
A tea party rally is scheduled for April 30 in Fredericksburg, VA. Do I have the guts to go there with a sign that reads “Jesus was a socialist!” ? (Feeding deadbeats with loaves and fish, free healings, meekly paying taxes, etc.) Probably not.
There will be guns. And beer. And rednecks. Personally I’d give it a miss.
This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock, powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly, regulated by the US department of energy.
I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility.
After that, I turned the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the national oceanographic and atmospheric administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the national aeronautics and space administration.
I watched this while eating my breakfast of US department of agriculture inspected food which has been determined as safe by the food and drug administration.
At the appropriate time as kept accurate by the national institute of standards and technology and the US naval observatory, I get into my national highway traffic safety administration approved car and set out to work on the roads built by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the environmental protection agency, using legal tender issued by the federal reserve bank.
On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US postal service and drop the kids off at the public school.
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the departmental of labor and the occupational safety and health administration, I drive back to my house which has not been burned down thanks to to the state and local building codes and the fire marshal’s inspection, and it has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department.
I then log onto the internet, which was developed by the US department of defense, and post on the free public access website 4chan about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right.
Seriously. Just STFU.

If you can’t spell it, you can’t have it.
“Freedom isn’t free… no, there’s a hefty f*ckin’ fee. And if you don’t throw in your buck o’ five, who will???”

Hey LRA, hope things are good with you down in the liberal part of the state! Ha, take care.
Yes– however I’ll be moving to Dallas soon (in about 2 months) to teach there… in the next step toward a PhD (which I’ll apply for this fall). Cross your fingers that I get Duke (my first choice!)
Hope you are well! :)
Wow! That’s fantastic, I’m happy for you. I hope you’ll let me know when you make it up here, we’ll have to meet for lunch if would be so kind to honor me with your company! ha.
Watch out I35, here comes da LRA and the girl is northbound, movin’ on up! :)
Well, Feedoms just another word for nothing left to lose.
I looked over all those signs and was especially tickled by the “Village of Crestwood” sign. I looked at the comments, and whoa! Found out the mayor listed on the sign is at the center of a 20 year ‘poison in the village well’ scandal! Mayor Chester Stranczek, a…Republican! no joke!! …just happened to lie to ‘big government’ about the village still getting 20% of it’s water from a tainted well…to save a few $$. He was insanely popular for doing such a great job saving money for the village for *20 years*. Guess those $$ are coming home to roost…
It’s said he didn’t buy into that environmental issues nonsense…
