The Mighty TEAs Strikeout

December 22, 2011

TEAs went to the polls in 2010 licking their chops in the hopes of sticking it to the dreadful Kenyan socialist….the guy 53% of Americans voted in as president two short years earlier. TEAs were going to retake their country from the slavery of progressivism and set America free from its chains of socialistic bondage. [...]

Boehner's TEA House

December 19, 2011

Elections matter. Nowhere has that been more apparent than in the House that Boehner built. The House of Tea. While discouraged progressives and moderates stayed home November, 2010….the TEAs rallied in hatred of all things Democratic, all things Obama…and took back the House of Representatives. The TEAs did it fair and square. They deserve a [...]

Cameras, Not Guns, Lethally Dangerous

November 4, 2011

In Ohio, 2nd amendment gun nuts enthusiasts have made it possible for Ohioans to carry concealed weapons while frequenting bars where alcohol is served. Makes perfect sense. What could possibly go wrong? What could be more sensible than a bar full of heat-packing Ohioans? A Wisconsin state assembly full of heat-packing elected officials. Concealed weapons [...]

Is The Tea Party Over?

October 28, 2011

It's been fun, I have to admit that. However, all good times eventually wind down, and that's what appears to be happening with the political influence and stagecraft of the TEA Party. The TEA Party burst on the scene as an anti-Democratic protest movement, primarily protesting the election of America's first black president, who also [...]

Romney Would Bailout Banksters Again

October 12, 2011

Another week, another GOP presidential candidates debate. The only thing different about this debate was the teevee network it was on. The Bloomberg Network. What struck me as different was all the Pete Peterson Foundation ads during commercial breaks. The ones which call for abolishing Social Security and Medicare. So fitting for a Republican Party [...]

The Tale Of Two Protests

October 7, 2011

Back in the early goings of 2009, corporate media loved themselves some TEA Party. The hanging teabags. The Mel Gibson Patriot rent-a-costumes. The "don't tread on me" flags. The "taxed enough already" signs. Teevee media was all-the-hell-over the TEA Party. Sister Sarah and the odd Glenn Beck embraced the TEAs early, Fox News became the [...]

LittleJohn Is Worried

October 5, 2011

LittleJohn Kasich is running a bit scared these days, and rightfully so. The ex-Fox, ex-Lehman Bros. employee was in Akron Tuesday to rally support for his signature union-and-Democrat destroying bill, SB5. One issue still up in the air involves Senate Bill 5, a controversial effort that would make significant changes to Ohio law governing public [...]

Rare TEA Party Candor

October 3, 2011

Over the weekend, I obtained a copy of an e-mail written to members by the Executive Director of the Portage County TEA Party, Tom Zawistowski. The substance of the e-mail concerns itself with the November referendum vote in Ohio to keep or reject SB5, the now-infamous collective bargaining smashing legislation passed by Governor Kasich and [...]

Moral Immorality?

September 15, 2011

Washington Post… Antiabortion activists who have sought for months to shut down a Germantown (Maryland) clinic picketed its landlord outside a Montgomery County middle school where his daughter is a student, school and police officials said Monday. Keep in mind here, picketers protesting abortion did so at the middle school where the daughter of the [...]

CNN Takes The Tea Party Express

September 13, 2011

I remember listening last week to Fox radio while driving in my car. The topic at the time was how weak President Obama was for changing the date of his speech to a Joint Session from Wednesday evening, where it conflicted with NBC's GOP candidates debate, to Thursday evening where Obama's speech would be just [...]
