The Tea Party Exposed - Deliberate Deception and Manufactured Anger - Part 2

22. April 2010

Read Part 1 of this series here.

Playing politics is not a justification to destroy the very country the 'tea'-rexes  have been promising in their speeches to 'take back'. Starting with the Stimulus 'Bailout' Package issue, on which in fact the tea party was founded on, the leaders and establishment involvement in the tea party proved to be duplicitous crooks who knew very well that Obama and his team are doing the right thing and there is absolutely no other option than to save the banks, as the alternative would be economical anarchy and intense financial pain for every citizen of this country. But, the dirty politicians that they are, they knew they could not be caught dead agreeing with Obama on anything, and that they had to twist and malign his actions to continue with their campaigns of ‘tax and spend’, ‘democrats are bringing socialism’ and ‘big government is taking over our lives’  to continue stoking anger in their base and people with ‘malleable minds’ who were skeptical about Obama from the beginning. These are the SAME people who supported the stimulus package when the Bush administration pushed it and now are maligning Obama for ‘government take over’ when he is doing the same. That is inexcusable, bordering on criminal, deception, as their actions (knowingly opposing an important action that can protect our financial viability as a country) can bring financial destruction and erosion of our standards of living and world status. These actions are bordering on betrayal and I would classify these leaders as 'traitors', due to the impact that their action would have had on our country (if the stimulus act hadn’t passed). I repeat that politics is not a justification for such despicable actions of monumentally destructive proportions. However, I’m not blaming everybody in the tea-party for these vile acts, but only a certain ‘fringe’ who is intentionally misleading the hordes of tea party supporters. I will call these people the ‘traitors’ from now on, and without a doubt, the dubious distinction of being the ‘top traitor’ goes t onone other then Sarah Palin. To be fair, there were a few founders of this movement who were genuinely enraged at the ‘perceived’ actions of Obama, and started the tea party movement to vent out their frustrations at what they thought was a free pass for the banks and their executives. These people were horribly deluded and though the impact of their actions might be the same as the slimy elements in the party, they never intentionally betrayed the country for the purpose of politics (hey, in my books ignorance is a valid defense, though there is no excuse not to get it cured). Due to their out-dated, ignorant and narrow minded mindset I will call these group of people (which form the majority of the tea-party movement) the ‘tea’-rexes. Their partially demented behaviour and tendency to spout imaginary conspiracy theories is described well in this article in the Newsweek (“After I spent the weekend at the Tea Party National Convention in Nashville, Tenn., it has become clear to me that the movement is dominated by people whose vision of the government is conspiratorial and dangerously detached from reality. It's more John Birch than John Adams.”). Though not culpable of betraying our country directly, they might be equally responsible for the destruction of our country the way we know it, so it is critical that we push back against this movement with gigantic force that will make their ‘armageddon’ look like a ‘tea and biscuits’ party and ‘sledgehammer’ some sense into them. This is not something the rest of the country can ignore and we have to act forcefully to win this intellectual ‘civil war’ and keep America’s flag flying high.


Don’t get me wrong, they had every right to start a movement, as I believe every person who has something to say should try all means possible to make their voices heard and what better than approach than gathering like minded brethren and speaking as one voice. But, the intent, unfortunately, does not redeem the fact the intense stupidity and cluelessness of the majority who soaked up the crap of the ‘traitors’ and got swept in the wave of fury, as they just fell hook line and sinker for the horse-gooey that was being doled out by the ‘traitors’ and the republican establishment (a big portion of which is equally culpable and deserves to be counted in the group of ‘traitors’).

For your kind information, you ‘tea-sipping’ majors in moronic sciences, the stimulus package was originally conceived by Bush, Paulson and his team because they too obviously realized (the hard way actually by letting Lehman fail) that the economic volcano had to be contained before the ash spills over the entire nation and creates economic tremors in every citizen's home. There was no other option for the Obama administration to continue the Bush solution, but the 'foxy' weasels of the tea party decided that the economic stakes and citizens' welfare does not matter and all that matters is how to reclaim their seat in the next election and how they can manipulate people's thinking and convince them that Obama is a socialist and screwing the nation. The two-faced duplicty of the ‘traitors’ of this tea party movement is so despicable that you would think that even America's worst enemy's would think twice about indulging in such lowly behaviour to destroy our country, but these are America's supposed saviours who are doing their best to wreck the already fragile finances of individuals by spoonfeeding bs-shake to the general and put on this façade of patriotism by crying ‘USA, USA’ at every rally. ‘Tea’-rex posters like 'bail me out too' were pretty common during those days, but seriously those people should have their voting right revoked on the basis of sheer ignorance. Let me give a suggestion to these ‘tea’-rexes about the standard they should hold their leaders (and youself) too …just saying 'you lie' is not acceptable.. if you think the stimulus was the wrong step, then come up with a credible alternative or else stop spewing skunk dung from your hot air hole. Like the Iraq war, sooner or later you will come to your senses, and will grudgingly acknowledge the truth, which is that THERE WAS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE THAN TO SAVE THE BANKS FROM COLLAPSING, AND THE STIMULUS PACKAGE WAS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AND WAS PASSED TO SAVE YOU (THE COMMON MAN) AND OUR ECONOMY FROM DEVASTATION. You ungrateful wretches should be thanking your stars that you had people like the Bush/Paulson and Obama/Geithner teams, which put principles over politics and did what was right and required. Oh btw, I'm sure many of you morons must be wondering ... "oh, so did Bush actually start this stimulus/bailout thingy?" ... yes, Sherlock, get the freaking facts right before you start working yourself into a lather and do a ‘dinosaur dance’ with the rest of the ‘tea’-rexes. If you can take it, you will also realize the obvious truth soon, that the tea party leadership (the ‘traitors’ camp) is fully aware that they are misleading and brainwashing you and are intentionally following this vile path of dirty deception because their only goal is to get in power ... the welfare of the country be damned. If you can still retain a shred of your senses, give them the boot and walk out of the party and support the person who is trying his best to do what's right for the country.

Dude, what's with the bitter beer face?

Like many, you confuse the 2008 TARP (bank bailout, which was necessary, although it was done improperly) with Obama's 2009 Stimulus 1, Omnibus Spending Bill, Obamacare, etc., etc., etc., which is what most Tea Partiers are upset about. Under Obama, we are increasing our debt at a rate FIVE TIMES faster than we did under Bush. This is unsustainable.

You meet the nicest people at tea parties. Try attending one sometime.

Postscript: while there are a few national groups, what is commonly called the "Tea Party" is actually a bottom up, grass-roots movement (not a single party), composed of hundreds of separate, individual groups. New groups and Websites are popping up every day because PEOPLE are fed up and are getting engaged. They are no more part of a conspiracy than you are, with your own site.

Hey asdasd, thanks for your nice comments and very relevant points you raised. I agree that the TARP and the 'Stimulus' are two different packages with two different purposes, but you got to understand the underlying reasons were pretty similar and it was actually a two step stimulus drive that was unfortunately quite essential. The financial collapse made the TARP essential (I agree it was not done right but they didn't have the luxury of time), but it was only directed at the banks ans financial institutions which needed immediate support. The administrations changed, so it just happened to be Obama passing the stimulus but even the previous administration was preparing a second stage of the tarp (aka the stimulus) which would need to be aimed at the other areas of the economy which got devastated due to the economic collapse which came up due to the financial collapse. States were buckling under, local schools were hurting, jobs were vanishing .. .something needed to be done quickly, or else the economy would again drag the markets down and this time could really take down the world financial system. The most important factor in an economic collapse is the lack of confidence in the markets and system and if that gets worse then it could lead to a death spiral (which almost happened in october 08). It was imperative that the Obama admin do something to keep the economy afloat or else the delicate balance that was achieved would break again. They put a lot of thought into how jobs can be created and which areas of the economy needed  assistance the most and came up with an really good package. The proof is in the pudding, and though the jobs haven't bounced back, the economy is doing much better. Nobody likes the fiscal deficits, but this was necessary, and most people in the tea parties (the establishment) know it. Ask any economist worth his/her salt and they'll tell you that the stimulus should have been more, not less. The republican establishment was just playing politics at the risk of destroying the country's economy. If you're really concerned about the deficit why aren't you railing about the 'absolutely unnecessary' Iraq war.

I'm sure the people are nice and I would be happy to meet them, but the sad truth is that they are horribly mislead by people who have killed all morality and are playing horrible politics at the expense of our future. Obama is trying his best to make things better, and some credit should go to him for reviving the economy from a near collapse.
