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 [...]

Newt's Proposal To Help The Haves

December 14, 2011

Heading into the final stretch, it looks like conservative primary voters are settling on Newton Gingrich as their GOP presidential candidate. Currently, even 47% of the TEAs are supportive of a Gingrich run for president. This is interesting to me because the TEA Party has always claimed that the deficit and the national debt are [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Less Popular Than Atheists

August 18, 2011

I just couldn't let this one pass by without commentary. The NY Times' had an op-ed on Tuesday by David Campbell and Robert Putnam describing and explaining their study of the Tea Party and it's relationship to the Republican Party. Here's the zinger paragraph that everyone needs to know about…. Of course, politicians of all [...]

On Being Reasonable

July 27, 2011

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) is the guy I told you about months ago who believes that child labor laws are unconstitutional. Apparently, if businesses cannot exploit minor children in the workplace, you know, for profits….then we have given up our freedoms. Guys like Mike Lee and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) were swept into office last [...]

Pining For Barry's Insurgents

July 22, 2011

In December it was a threat to increase taxes on all Americans if the top 2% didn't have their tax cuts extended. Down to the wire both sides went in that earlier ransom situation….and President Obama and his very weak band of Congressional Democrats agreed to pay the ransom. In return for paying that ransom, [...]
