From one of my favorite bloggers E-V-E-R!
"Hi there kids. The stupid is as dense as a pound cake in this little *tea party* corner of the internet. Simplistic arguments and an echo chamber filled with lies are not good for democracy.
But enough about Fox News - this is about *you*...
The "TEA" you praise was brought to America by the largest corporation operating at the time, the East India Trading Company. They had petitioned the British crown for a lower tax rate and were prepared to drive the entrepreneurial Colonists out of business with their subsidized product.
I'm thinking WalMart, how 'bout you? If you can't see the analogy, there's no hope for you whatsoever.
The current version of the TEA Party is funded by corporations to flood the halls of government with neophytes and useful fools to tear things down from the inside. And you are their useful, imbecilic minions - happily waving your poorly-lettered, misspelled signs - believing that you are doing something "good" for this country you love.
You also stand prepared to elect a man who has spent his entire life working to make you, and everyone you love, no different than the slum dweller of Bangladesh or the wage slave in China. Do your homework.
Willard M. Romney said "[the Chinese factory workers] cared about their jobs … they wouldn't even look up as we walked by."
No, Mr. Romney - if they look up from their task, they are beaten, or fired. It's a cultural thing.
This is what you support. This is the end result of globalization. And there you are, standing on the sidelines waving your little flags and stapling Lipton tea bags to your hat with not the first freaking clue of the significance of the ACTUAL Tea Party.
You have absolutely everything bass-ackwards.
Read a history book. Start standing up to the corporations like our founding fathers did. And don't you DARE give your vote to the traitor who has amassed a bloody fortune by tearing apart the American dreams for so many of your brothers and sisters. If you do, you can no longer call yourself a patriot.
I wish I was this smart...
