Wake County school board member John Tedesco is ticking off liberals (yet again) with his remarks at this month's Tax Day Tea Party rally in Greensboro.
In a blog post Monday on the Progressive Pulse blog, Rob Schofield accuses Tedesco of engaging in a "rant." Schofield writes that "any notion...that, perhaps, the fire-breathers have mellowed just a smidge in recent months in light of being confronted with the realities of governing – should be put to rest by" Tedesco's speech.
Tedesco was effusive in his praise of the Tea Party, limited government and Christianity. He was critical of Democrats, saying they're "working for a "socialist agenda."
“We stand on the forefront of a new American Revolution and you, you are the forefront of that revolution and I think it’s fitting that that revolution, again in 2011, begin with a tea party!” Tedesco said.
You can find several more of his quotes in Schofield's blog post.

Why religion?
Wed, 04/27/2011 - 10:49 — Dove314What does religion have to do with political philosophy? Is there a chapter in the bible about limited government? Was there some principle about separation of church and state somewhere in the founding of the US?

Is she from around here?

LOL If looney extreme
Tue, 04/26/2011 - 10:21 — woodstockLOL If looney extreme left-winger Bobby Schoefield is upset, Tedesco must be hitting all the right notes. I'd say keep the faith, John... but that would be like asking the sun to keep rising. I know you will.
Hui, you sure don't like JT

Tue, 04/26/2011 - 10:32 — KeungHui (author)Now that is kind of silly to say. What makes you think I "hate" Tedesco? Is it because I blog about him so much? He has a higher profile than just about any board member and often his talks are recorded so it make it easier to write about.
Well maybe
Tue, 04/26/2011 - 14:28 — FSandYOUbut I never said "hate" and I consider Debra Goldman just as high profile. Although not as much lately, since she went into hiding.
Why not hound her a little harder and see if you can be the first to crack her new no comment policy.
Off-topic...
