It is a mass movement that sprang up over night from all over the place. If you are inside the Tea Party you know what it is about, otherwise you don't, and it's funny, because of that fact the Tea Party is way more powerful than people realize. (Like Tai Chi theory, "I know you, you don't know me.")<br />The new movie Red (Retired, Extremely Dangerous) is a Tea Party movie. Check it out.<br /><br />I don't know why you call me a revisionist, but I've been called worse. You are surely correct-- there are similarities between the Tea Party and the 1920's movement which banned drinking at the same time as it gave women the right to vote.<br />Just so we are clear, I believe in guns, whiskey, sex, and the Constitution.<br />It's kind of funny, I read Zinn's book in this class on "critical thinking" that was taught by a guy from Guinea. He loved my review of the book so much he read it to the class. It's long lost but I said something like, "Zinn spends 500 pages giving us examples of how inspired rebellions against American power always fail, and then ends with the hope that some day the lazy civil servants down at City Hall will get together with the cops over at Hunt's Donuts and we'll have a revolution!"Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771944484286659825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-1992303268306485762010-10-21T12:33:19.180-07:002010-10-21T12:33:19.180-07:00Hi!

"But so are you. All of you. Especially Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Bob Barr, and douchebag groups such as the 'Tea Party Patriots.'"<br /><br />Denninger writes: "Tea Party my ass. This was nothing other than the Republican Party stealing the anger of a population that was fed up with the Republican Party's own theft of their tax money at gunpoint to bail out the robbers of Wall Street and fraudulently redirecting it back toward electing the very people who stole all the ****ing money!"<br /><br />Denninger runs Market Ticker, a financially-focused blog that has been strongly opposed to bank bailouts and has railed against excessive government spending. He founded the group FedUpUSA in early 2008, shortly after the collapse of investment bank Bear Stearns.<br /><br />http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/10/tea-party-founder-slams-tea-party/Dojo Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12057645566330892415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-36572115820284501332010-10-21T10:17:40.436-07:002010-10-21T10:17:40.436-07:00Wrong-o Scott-o.
