Sure, they’re just a fat bunch of idiots. But why are they still around? The Tea Party is not engaged in legislating, they are engaged in revolution. This is the only explanation for what they are doing. They are literally out to deliberately destroy the country. And yes, I am using that word correctly. We cannot fight them until we understand that this the goal. They are shooting (heh) for getting rid of the government completely and will stand around after it happens wondering what the fk we do next. For them it would be a good idea to roll away, as I think many in the public will have a message for them, they won’t want to receive. But we can burn that cross when we come to it. For now, the ignorant teabaggers can not enjoy the irony of knowing that the Boston Tea Party was a demonstration against preferential tax policies towards the East India Company, which was the 1774 version of the Koch Brothers conglomerate. Nor can they understand that the “French Revolution” was not a guerrilla battling band of rebels rising up in the streets. Danton and Robespierre were elected members of the legislature, the “revolution” was a series of laws they passed with a majority. The Army stayed loyal to the legitimate government with only some instances of army units supporting the king. There were only a few instances of rioting, no “revolutionary war.” These republican wingnut loons right now are absolutely “revolutionary” in precisely the sense of the French revolutionaries. The “Reign of Terror” was also a legislatively authorized action under a bill granting extraordinary emergency powers to a committee. This modern GOP would act similarly if it could, if it had 3 branches and was free to do as it pleased. It would declare “liberals” to be traitors, as they already SAY all the time, and have us rounded up. Literally. No exaggeration. It’s almost as if we’ve hit some kind of Tard Singularity, except none of these idiots will be able to upload their consciousness to the Internet because they all still have VCR’s at home flashing “12:00.”
Love it or Leave it, Teatards.
