However I must say, the tea partiers are the equivalent of the democrats who thought electing Obama was the a “movement”. Unfortunately electing mainstream politicians or campaigning for them (basically what the tea party is doing by forming PAC’s and providing grass roots conservative organizing) , isn’t exactly Radical.   Just because the man is half black, which makes him all black in the U.S., doesn’t mean he is going to turn the system on its head.Though that is what most seem to think.

So the U.S. manages to be just as racist as before. The fist Black President has the republican-idiocracy turning out for spontaneous mass demos and has the democratic-lackeys thinking all their problems have been solved for them. Really though it’s sad that the first Black President is elected and white people just start having meetings in Pizza Huts to figure out what to do next.  Though a lot of the tea party propaganda evokes the cold war a fair amount is overtly racist. Similarly the best thing to ever happen to Klan membership was the civil rights movement.

Both sides think a radical has been elected just because he is brown, when in truth the man is moderate as vanilla ice-cream. The most revolutionary policy he has attempted has been instituting a public health-care system, and he gave up under pressure from congress. For all you jackasses who think that is radical lets list the developed countries with-out some form of universal health care: The United States of America. That was easy. I thought we’d be here all night.

The section of the American polity best represented by the Tea Party movement is proof of Steven Luke‘s third face of power. The basic idea of this theory is that people are indoctrinated with a false consciousness that doesn’t allow them to properly understand politics as it relates to their own interests. They become confused as to what their interests actually are. Then the rulers, whoever has the power it doesn’t have to be a monarch, is able to get their subjects to act serve their interests while the subjects think they are serving their own.  Tea Party convention is proof that this phenomenon exits.

For example one of the things the Tea Partiers agreed on was their bread and butter issue: fiscal responsibility.  I’m not sure if this was before or after they sang happy birthday to Ronald Reagan, who would have been 99 this week. Tea Partiers aren’t likely aware of this, but Ronald Reagan was piss-poor on fiscal responsibility.  Not just him, all of our Republican Administrations have been terrible with countries finances.  Oh, well I guess I can blame them its not like that information is out there for free on the internet.

While the Tea Party bills it self as a populist movement (which is further proof these people are delusional seeing as the poor would benefit from social programs they are railing against), the cost of attendance to the weekend long even was just under six hundred dollars.  While this evoked grumblings from some of the tea partiers, from the press reports not too many wanted to form a formal third party. Not surprisingly Palin encouraged the convention goers that America is ready for a  revolution while urging them to vote Republican! We need a revolution kiddies. Now go out there and punch my party’s ticket.  You’ll be part of a revolution…

It many ways the Tea Party effect speaks to the wondrous nature of the political mass-0consciousness. With the rising Podge comes the falling Hodge. Which will soon, no doubt, rise again. In other words,  for every action an equal reaction.  The liberals have a fake revolution with the first Black President. So the republicans need a fake revolution too with the Tea Party. I do agree with Gov. Palin, we’re ready for a revolution, but when is the real revolution going to happen?

The Boston Tea Party wasn’t a non-violent demo caught up in race and partisan politics. It was a criminal act. These weren’t fat blue collar Americans working under some delusional capitalism vs. communism paradigm, they were intelligent professionals provoking a war.  They didn’t want to pay taxes to the same sort of multi-national financial exploitation mechanism our own elites now pressure on other counties. The Boston Tea Party was part of a revolution. The Modern Tea Party is an inbred preemptive counter-revolution. The preemptive nature of the movement is because there was no real revolution to counter. Its just the mere notion of one is that scary to these miserable slobs who think America is baseball, the Cleavers, white picket fences, tilt-o-whirl and that a communist agents are trying to take it all away.
