Shortly
after Obama became your uber-liberal Congress-enabled
two-year/two-bit dictator, the term "Tea Party" was beginning to
take hold.
When I first realized there were
millions of others, like me, who were willing to protest the
wasteful deficit spending and borrowing and socialistic
legislation that the Obama-Reid-Pelosi troika had begun putting
forth and ramming through, I doctored up a recent photo, had it
cartoonized and made it my official mug shot as a show of
solidarity with folks who had been filled with the Tea Party
spirit.
Soon the
Tea Party movement evolved from small regional grassroots
organizations confronting Congressional incumbents
(delusional Democrat legislators still assumed,
at that point, that their appearances at town hall meetings
would be little more than friendly flesh-pressing campaign ops)
into a force that would
introduce and support fiscally responsible,
Constitution-grounded candidates while continuing to demand real
answers and sane actions from the establishment hacks.
Prior to
the 2010 elections' better-than-expected outcome I retired the
star-spangled bandana and tea bag earring.
In case you're
wondering, in real life I have no pierce-ings and have never
worn a do-rag (although I did
eat copious amounts of calamari fra diavolo at a business lunch
with the late Lou Albano at least a decade before his rubber
band inspiration made hanging things from facial punctures a hip
thing to do.)
But with loony
lefties now blaming every Democrat ineptitude on the Tea Party
(whose first officeholder has been on the job for eight whole
months) it's
time, once again, to show my solidarity and annoy socialistas
even more in the process.

"John Kerry reporting for an assault on the First
Amendment." |
Following in
the footsteps of New York Times columnist Paul
Krugman, Sen. John Kerry
(D-MA)
called on the
media to censor Tea Party ideas that lefties deem
"absurd".
Kerry said while appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe:
"The media has got to
begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an
absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it
or simply because somebody says something which everybody
knows is not factual, it doesn't deserve the same credit
as a legitimate idea about what you do." |

Asked
whether the
Tea Party movement was responsible for an unsavory
resolution to debt ceiling negotiations, Ralph Nader
responded: “It’s not really a
movement. It’s the conservative non-libertarian wing of
the Republican Party...These
are the conservative corporatists that have decided they
like the brand name ‘Tea Party’ because the press reports
on every movement of the Tea Party. So they’ve jumped on
the bandwagon and hijacked it." |
"Unsafe!" |

Howard Dean
complained on
Face the
Nation.
"They are totally
unreasonable and doctrinaire and not founded in reality.
"I think they've been smoking
some of that tea, not just drinking it." |

"And then we're going to go to Maine, and then Ohio and
then Nebraska and then Michigan and then Virginia and then
Idaho and then Florida and then Washington and then New
York and then Connecticut...
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" |
