Modern Tea Party Movement

Lois Said:

Did the modern Tea Party movement (using tea bags to protest taxes) begin in 1991? Earlier? See link... . .?

We Answered:

There might have been smaller moments, and I heard people making reference to it before I even knew WTF an Obama was, but as far as the current grassroots movement, I don't think so.

Rene Said:

Would Bismarck be proud of the tea party movement?

We Answered:

Where do Bismark's "Eisen und Blut", foreign policies and the Tea Party's domestic only, lower taxes and limited government policies coincide except in your mind?

Henry Said:

Why has the modern day Tea Party fashion the name "Tea Party" to their movement when....?

We Answered:

Teabaggers are attempting to appeal to some nostalgic connection to American History.

The fact of the matter is that not ONE of the teabaggers has a clue what the Boston Tea Party was about - and the malicious acts of terrorists against our ELECTED OFFICIALS of today's malcontents has NOTHING to do with the original tea party.

The punchline to this whole thing is that they're too stupid and angry to even realize they're being used as pawns. Faux News has invested a great deal of time, money, and air time to promote this teabagger thing.

Anybody else find it a little suspicious that a Saudi Arabian prince has bought shares in Faux News?

Rene Said:

When you compare the Boston Tea Party to the current Tea Party Movement doesn't the current movement look....?

We Answered:

the current "movement" is corporate financed and organized. It is not grass-roots by any means

interestingly, they love Palin who backed the most socialist program, possibly in the history of the US, in the Alaskan Oil Profits Tax

it's a tax and it redistributes wealth based upon collective ownership of State resources. That is the sort of thing Tea Partiers are supposed to hate. But she makes fun of Democrats so they giggle and wave their signs with little understanding of any true purpose.

Robin Said:

Are poorly educated right wing extremists taking over the tea party movement?

We Answered:

Dont bash the tea party movement. I love watching them. It's like watching a Jerry Springer marathon lol.

Discuss It!
