You may be a tea party member if...
1). You think that stupidity is the highest form of patriotic.

2). You prefer to "protest" from the comfort of a lawn chair.

3). You think the key to a meaningful protest is costumes and slogans.

4). What you're really worried about is somebody else getting your government benefits.

5). You think a pill-popping racist is the intellectual giant of his generation.

6). You think a mailman simply doing his job could possibly be your enemy.


...any others?

11. If you believe Bernie Madoff should run every corporation in the US, oh wait, he does!
Well, not the real Bernie Madoff, but corporate 'leaders' are not much different than Bernie Madoff. If given the chance they would screw everyone they could and right wingers would cheer.

Side Note: Did you know right wing radio and its ignorant listeners blamed the VICTIMS of Madoff? They always blame the victims and cheer on the abusers. That's why they are so upset with President Obama wanting to put restrictions on all the corrupt, soulless Wall Street thugs and corporate leaders. Right wingers HATE regulations that protect them. Yes, they are really that stupid.

24. A few others...
You don't mind that "those people" pay taxes like everyone else, as long as it's for YOUR benefit only.

You hate the idea of regulation because you're gonna be a corporate exec...soon.

You think that corporate execs are too heavily taxed, because that's where you're gonna be...soon.


--Then you might be a teaklanbagger.

34. The irony of your anti-socialism-fest on pubic grounds escapes you completey.
You think poor peopple are lazy and deserve to be that way.

You call yourself "indepenedent" because Your ashamed to admit your a Republican.

You wave a flag the size of Rhode Isladn thats made in Taiwan China or Malaysia.

As far as your tax dollars are conserned, helping people is akin to child murdur, but killing poeple is bassically OK.

You had to have "teabaggging" explained to you.

You took public transpartation to 9/12 day.

You actualy think President Sarah Palin is a great idea.

You think the sentences above are spelled correctly and without grammatical errors.
