Seems like we could come up with something to have fun with these wackos over this.

7. Something along the lines of what the "Billionaires for Bush" did would be cool.
Mocking them while being among them is the best way to go.

10. Not be so reactionary?
Keep ourselves informed? Demand our elected officials be held accountable, without blindly following the precepts of an egomaniacal cult of personality?

Not act like victims?

11. Just had another thought...stage "Whiskey Rebellions"!
After all, they were populist revolts against the Hamiltonian "big business"-dominated social arrangements that George Washington favored in the early years of the Republic.

That, and we could break out the booze!

15. Serve n=a beer and drink tons of it
Piss them off and confuse them all at once. Then demand they share their porta-potties, or suffer the fate of wet shoes. :rofl:

13. We could have Goodwill donation parties
Gather up all your old clothes and other items, and meet someplace like a GOODWILL STORE and collectively donate your stuff to help those in need.

Goodwill Stores are just an example. I know there are many different kinds of second hand shops like the Salvation Army, Rescue Mission, and the Animal Shelter that take donations to help the needy.

16. Just about any effective protest is
the opposite of a tea party.

19. Best to do nothing, so as not to draw attention to them.
Rightwingers don't have the stamina to keep up with protests. We can sit back and let them humiliate themselves, as usual.

20. Keep Winning Elections
Throughout the 90's and for the first 4 years of the booosh regime, I had to endure the right wing meme as to how the GOOP was the true "national party" and how they had won elections and this was proof of their superiority. That meme sure hushed up after the '06 elections...especially when they realized it wouldn't be as easy to steal elections as they had thought.

As the saying goes...the best revenge is living well. In our case, the best revenge is continuing to win elections...even better...to get more Liberals and Progressives elected...their ultimate nightmare.

22. How about bake sales with the money donated to the tax coffers?
Maybe earmark the tax collection towards pay raises for white house staff and congress?
