Trying to figure out what this whole "Tea Party" phenomenon is all about is a lot like trying to peer into the bottom of a muddy pool...

"Tea Party" people like to think of themselves as a grassroots "movement" born of, so they believe, a national sense of horror at the fact that Barack Obama is president. They peddled the farcical idea that Mr. Obama's birth certificate didn't exist, that he is a secret socialist fascist communist Muslim Islamist terrorist mole...but at the end of the day, they are nothing more than useful idiots following the beat of drummers who couldn't care less about them at the end of the day.

And yes, "idiots" is the proper word. We've seen it often enough by now: the astonishingly poor spelling on protest signs carried by pear-shaped blivets wearing ill-fitting camouflage gear while packing rifles and pistols to public rallies, best personified by the brain donor who proudly held up a placard reading, "Keep Your Damned Government Hands Off My Medicare." It's like a zen koan. The dizzying stupidity represented therein literally stops the mind...

During the GOP debate last week, Rick Perry burnished his law-and-order credentials by bragging about the 234 executions - at least one of which took the life of an innocent man - he has presided over while governor of Texas. The GOP crowd at the debate went absolutely wild, cheering and hooting their approval of the taking of so much life.

On Monday night, candidate Ron Paul was given a hypothetical about providing health care to a dying man who lacked health insurance. Wolf Blitzer, who moderated the debate, asked Paul, "Are you saying society should just let him die?" Before Paul could cobble together an answer, the "Tea Party" audience again erupted, this time yelling "Yes!" in answer to Blitzer's question.

These "Tea Party" people profess to be representatives of average Americans, despite being a complete creation of the 0.1% wealthy elite. They claim government is too big, even as many of them hail from states (think Texas) that would utterly collapse without federal funding. They bring guns to public rallies. They like Medicare, until they are reminded that Medicare is a government program.

And they are Christians, members of the faithful, who enjoy executions and who think uninsured people should be left to die.

Correction: they are "Christians" - not Christians, because it is impossible to build any kind of bridge between the teachings of Jesus and the beliefs these people espouse at the top of their lungs.

They are not Christians, but are in fact a death-worshipping cult...

What we saw last week, and on Monday night, is a glimpse of what the world would be like if these people achieve the supremacy they seek.

Jesus wept.

quote:

At the Tea Party Express/CNN debate in Tampa, Florida, on Monday the Republican presidential aspirants mostly agreed on the best way to solve our fiscal and economic woes: magic. Whenever moderator Wolf Blitzer or a Tea Party activist in the crowd or via video asked how exactly they would achieve their twin goals of balancing the federal budget and spurring job growth, they had no actual answer. Instead, they seemed to think the tooth fairy would leave $1 trillion under their West Wing pillow...

Rick Santorum and Rick Perry both refused to say they would undo the massive Medicare prescription drug benefit enacted under President Bush, which Santorum voted for...

"This country needs to wean itself from its heroin-like addiction to foreign oil," said Jon Huntsman, when asked how he would lead economic growth as president. Huntsman opposes the sort of measures that would actually wean our addiction to oil by taxing its consumption. Increasing domestic production, which the Republicans all favor, does not actually eliminate our dependence on oil, "foreign" or otherwise. And that's only partially because we don't actually have as much oil on US territory as we consume. It's because oil is a fungible commodity, and Exxon Mobil isn't going to give away the oil it drills in Alaska to Americans for free. It's a global market, and increased demand in China and India or an interruption in supply from Venezuela or Saudia Arabia will increase the global price that we pay for oil, wherever it happens to have been drilled...

Health insurance is another example of Republicans' magical thinking. They all hate "Obamacare" and promise to repeal it. But what would they do instead about 45 million uninsured Americans and rising healthcare costs? Nothing, except for warmed-over ideas like tort reform from Herman Cain and health savings accounts from Mitt Romney...


As for the worshipers of the "sainted" Ron Paul, who, like Moses and Charlton Heston, will rescue us from slavery and guide us to the Promised Land of Ayn Rand:

quote:

The most honest answer, as usual, came from Paul, who implied that he would let the uninsured die, saying they would "take responsibility" for their choice not to buy insurance. "That's what freedom is all about," says Paul. The freedom to die, that is. Instead of admitting that his policy would condemn to death the uninsured, he claimed that churches would pick up the slack. And, if they don't, then surely the tooth fairy will.


In a way, I respect Ron Paul more than any of his Republican opponents. They lie to you, you elect them and then, as soon as possible after Election Day, they f**k you over. Ron Paul tells you right up front, "Elect me and I promise to f**k you over right after Election Day."

So, after President Obama gets re-elected and some Tea Partier "in order to take my country back" shoots him -

We get President Biden?

Remember, Timothy McVeigh thought blowing up the Federal Building in Oklahoma City was a "patriotic act" and the kids he killed in the building's day care center were "merely collateral damage".

Some FOX-obsessed Tea Partier might think killing a re-elected President Obama would show how "patriotic" they are - especially after another Presidential campaign's worth of anti-Obama propaganda further poisoned their already weak mind.

(And would Biden really be any worse a President than Paul or Perry?)
