Tea Partiers: Manipulated by Fox and Corporate America

When someone feels the need to blow their own horn, it is because they are inferior with regard to that subject, like the guy who pats you on the back and says (Trust me on this one!); everyone knows he can’t be trusted. When I hear the Tea Partiers ranting about what great Americans they are, I hear (Trust me on this one!) ringing in my ears.

Tea Partiers say they are anti tax and yet I have not heard them praise the Obama administration for lowering taxes for the major portion of Americans, excluding the rich of course. Could it be that the Tea Partiers are being manipulated by the corporate rich???

When I listen to most of their rhetoric, I hear a group that is uninformed and being manipulated by corporate America. For educated people they seem to show an inherent lack of intelligence.

The Tea Party claims to represent Middle America, but what I see is a cornucopia of bigoted conspiracy theorists and evangelical self righteous right wing conservatives who only seem interested in apposing anything the Obama administration is trying to do. The anger and hate speech coming from their ranks is indicative of people who are only interested in revolt, like the original Tea Party supporters. The only difference is, back then we were being unfairly taxed by a foreign power, now we are taxed by a legally elected democratic government of the people and it sounds like the Tea Partiers are advocating the overthrow of that government. When I hear Sara Palin and Michele Bachmann spouting their lies and half truths so they can line their own pockets at the expense of the naive Tea Partiers, I think they should be arrested if for nothing more than to stop the assault of their grating voices on my ears. When I hear Fox News, (The media wing of the Tea Party Movement) broadcasting fear mongers like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity to manipulate the public every night under the guise of being a news cast, it makes me ask, what is this country coming to? I believe in free speech as much as any Tea Partier, but what I do not believe in is using scare tactics and lies to frighten the uninformed into supporting a bogus agenda that only benefits the wealthy.

The Obama administration was duly elected in the last election and just because some racist radicals do not accept his place of birth as Hawaii, does not change the fact that he was legally elected. If their was any question about his birthplace it is up to the US election commission to challenge it, not some die hard conspiracy theorists who read or posted some fictitious birth certificate on the internet.

Any legitimacy the Tea Party may have had has been lost to the insanity that has taken hold of their movement and made them a laughing stock among rational Americans who only view them as a side show in American politics. Like the freak’s in any side show performance, their antics are amusing but have little impact on the real world.

Just like movie ratings and channel blocking is used to keep immature minds from being exposed to things they are not mature enough to fully understand, Fox News and Rush Limbaugh should be X rated so the Tea Partiers are not exposed to things they do not understand for the safety of the nation. The mentally challenged Tea Partiers have fallen pray to the slick media barrage orchestrated by the corporate giants like Rupert Murdoch who are using them to further their own agenda with little regard for the consequences to our nation or the bumpkins they are conning.

When I see Tea Partiers dressing up to gain media attention, I think (Disguise is the ploy of the fool!).

When I hear Tea Partiers shouting down people at town meetings I think, (Those who would suppress dialogue endeavor to subvert truth!).

When I see Tea Partiers bringing guns to public rallies, I think, (Intimidation is the terrorist’s weapon of choice!)

When I see Tea Partiers yelling homophobic and racial slurs at our representatives I think, (Verbal abuse is the instrument of those without harmony!).

When I hear Tea Partiers chanting complaints, I think (A gripe without merit is just so much noise pollution!)

When I hear well to do Tea Partiers complaining about their taxes, I think (Only the wealthy profit from an inequitable system!)

When I see Tea Partiers threatening those who appose their views, I think (Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent!)

When I see Tea Partiers promoting gun rights, I think (These are the radicals I would least like to have holding those guns!)

When I hear that Tea Partiers are better educated than most, I think (Education and intelligence are not synonymous!)

When I see Tea Partiers complaining about Obama Care, I think (Those who would deny health care to others are them selves ailing!)

When I see Tea Partiers carrying protest signs, I think (A sign lacking substance may as well be blank!)

When I hear Tea Partiers saying they want smaller government, what I hear is (Less regulation over corporate greed!
