As for the Tea Partiers, I’m confused about the proper metaphorical track to follow:

On the one hand I’m thinking a tea party is where little children get together and pretend that they are doing grownup stuff, stuff which grownups don’t actually do?

On the other hand, regarding the idea that the Tea Party is a grass-roots movement that is being hijacked by, what, “moderate” Republicans? That makes me think on an image where pirates have boarded a derelict nuclear sub right after the crew has ignorantly begun removing the control rods and the reactor is starting to go critical. Then sarahpalin.corp/throwgasonthefire jumps on board and closes the valves on the cooling system.

It almost goes to self-refutation. ‘Nature abhors a vacuum.’ Political nature also abhors a vacuum. Enter the fruitcakes.

Perhaps there is a Tea Party ideal, which has never quite existed in reality?

Let’s just call these people what they are.

REPUBLICONS: Same old black helicopter crowd that serves as the RepubliCON Party lynch mob.

If she wasn’t a payoff commodity…then she wouldn’t be where she is.

It wouldn’t hurt my feelings to be considered a hot commodity.

The woman is cursed with an annoying, screechy voice for starters with nothing but the equivalent of a “chicken in every pot and Ford in every garage” type bromide issuing from her cursed vocals. These modern era Tea-Baggers wouldn’t have made a pimple on an 18th century revolutionary’s butt who fought to cast off the chains of British hegemony much less the monsters that control our modern computer surveilled Welfare/Warfare state.

The mere fact she draws an audience at all frightens me especially thinking of her as ascending to the presidency post the wreckage in which Obama & Co. will leave this nation no differently or worse than Bushco; ie, if we’re still around as a nation.

It brings me back to the days when crowds went nuts over Ronald Reagan at the convention center in the early 80′s. They chanted Reagan…Reagan ad infinitum ad nauseum etc. for so long post his nomination that the network news commentators covering the convention where exchanging both stunned and pained glances the whole time; Reagan grinning and waving like “Howdy Doody” along with his “Mr. Bobblehead” routine. Witnessing the mass enthusiasm for Reagan left me stunned because the American flags they were waving along with their hyper-enthusiastic chanting morphed in my mind’s eye into the Nazi flag of another era with the citizens shouting with similar, rabid enthusiasm for their not so dear leader to come.

Someone once said that if totalitarianism comes to America, it will be under the red, white and blue of Old Glory and not some flag from the past such as Nazi era Germany. Nationalism and blind enthusiasm for silver-tongued pols invariably will lead a nation down the same path of destruction.

Rest assured if Ms. Palin gets elected the shadowy controllers will be jerking her too up by the shorthairs while issuing their marching orders no different than our current “disappointement in chief”;ie., President Obama. All candidates talk the talk, but will never walk the walk concerning their campaign trail promises and she’s no different than those before her.
