Tea Party!

So sick of the left getting the truth wrong, aren't you? I'm talking about the Tea Party movement in particular. Part of me is highly amused they have their panties in such a wad over a movement that is uncontrollable by them or their typical scare tactics, tried and true for lesser constituted folks.

Tea Party folks will not be silenced, not on any threat. That this movement is still gaining momentum after all they have done to stop it, should be their first clue, but sadly they are still trying to define something that has already defined itself. That the left continues to belittle and insult this movement is proof those Tea Partiers are on to something B-I-G! The left feels threatened, and rightly so. How dare regular, unschooled in the ways of Washington, hardworking citizens speak up for themselves and demand to be heard.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! (the upside: if you'll just let us pass healthcare, you won't have to "pay" to have it sewn back on. win win!)

On the other hand, the left needs to be schooled in their ignorance, or is it stupidity, about this very American, very patriotic, very Tea Party movement. That is what so many of us have been trying to do on a daily basis. We give them the truth of who we are, of what we stand for, of how we want them to proceed on our behalf, but, like ungrateful, spoiled children, they refuse to listen. They want what they want when they want it, and whoa to those who get in their way. GIMME!

They shoot of their mouths and expect people to believe their nonsense. They spitball lies in hopes that some hit the mark, in hopes that more folks will join their efforts to silence the angry mob. ANGRY MOB! While, in comparison, the Tea Partiers use the Super Soaker of truth and history to forward their message.

Mark Davis has written a concise, easy to understand (even for the left...unless they continue to stick their fingers in their ears and scream), article on what the Tea Party is, and what it is not. Pop on over and give him a read.

..the Tea Party movement is not some subculture of bug-eyed lunatics. Any political movement is going to have some characters ranging from colorful to occasionally unhinged, but the insulting tone of much of the coverage of the movement would have you believe that these are fringe extremists who could snap at any moment.
