The teabaggers are not American revolutionaries

[ProSense]

The lunatic, spelling-challenge, violent teabaggers have nothing in common with American revolutionaries:

The profiteers say that the original American revolutionaries cast their tea into the Boston harbor as a simple rejection of taxation, so the modern tea party movement should similarly reject increased financial regulations, health reform, and taxes on the rich. But the history tells a different story. Boston revolutionaries rejected subservience to the East India Company, a British-run international corporation. They cast the tea into the harbor as a symbolic message to say that their taxes should go back into the American community, not subsidizing the profits of London elites and foreign corporations. Now, Republican tea party profiteers are trying to exploit the movement, pushing them to oppose policies which would actually liberate the middle class and crack down on international corporations. Despite the populist rhetoric, the profiteers see the tea party movement as a pool to extract fundraising dollars and volunteers for Republican campaigns. Indeed, RNC Chairman Michael Steele, himself a former lobbyist, has said that he has an “expectation” that tea partiers loyally toe the Republican line.

Please, from anyone who believes people have a Constitutional right to overthrow an elected government?

2. Here is what they are...

..they are people who are scared. They were raised with the expectation of a better future and they see that the future looks grim. They have been betrayed by their heroes -- Bush, and Reagan.

They pay more for energy than they ever thought possible. They see their pensions being deflated, schools bombing, and the environment declining.

Their houses are worth a fraction of what they expected. Their children are rebelling. All their hopes and dreams dashed upon the rocks of what is left of their republican party. And there is a non-pure-white man sitting at the head of the table... another thing they never thought possible, and they hate him.

All in all, they have been lied to their whole lives and now they see the TRUTH writ large. They screwed up. And like all the other idiots of the world they can't take responsibility for their screwups --- they blame someone else.

Screw them. To hell with them. They are an obstacle to a better future with their current mindset. They must be STFU.

6. They are

people who ignore the facts that get in the way of their lunacy.

Insurrection Act of 1807

9. In McCains campaign Sarah Palin said it was a protest against government

She was reading her speech so I suspect McCain's people wrote it. That makes him look like the idiot. But then, he doesn't need Palin for that.

10. They are the reinvention of the KKK, essentially, under a new name

and a new "kinder and gentler" 21st Century look for Plausible Deniability.

(they can't cover up or positively market violence on uppity Negroes and Liberals anymore without taking too much negative heat, so they took off the suits and joined the Rushpublic Party)

But then, all the Bushification of our nation over the last decade and really the last 40 years is in many ways a kinder, gentler, more plausibly deniable Klan/Nazi methodology.

And it's working. The Tea Party is a PsyOp designed to tilt the playing field even FURTHER to the right.

Thanks to a continuously complicit Corporate M$M, it is a complete success. (which is to say a complete failure for the future of our nation and humanity)
