{like sticking it up you a** and getting all your money for the favor] all of whom who I think sucked the money out of the system to give us this economy, Blackwater, Enron, WorldCom, Madoff, Mine Owners, all of whom who pay les and less tax while our paychecks and well being shrink.

THAT'S RIGHT folks, we want the stealth tax in favor of the wealthy corporate executives and their bonuses, not big government taxing the filthy rich!!!

We want more BIG MONEY Big Corporate Lobbies taxing us by shrinking our paychecks, the majority of the American People.

We don't want government of the people, by the people and for the people.

We want the liberty to screw these people. We want government of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists and for the Lobbyists, the big filthy rich corporate lobbyists. These lobbyists and their funded propaganda front organizations, like the Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh, etc IMHO.

DON'T YOU KNOW PROPAGANDA WHEN YOU SEE IT? THEY WANT MORE OF YOUR MONEY AND YOUR POWER, THE POWER OF YOUR MAJORITY!

Screw the corporate funded Tea Party. Join the PAYCHECK PARTY, and don't let them take more at your expense.

It's not the government, stupid. It's the filthy rich corporate lobbyists and those who milk their money for all it's worth.

3. Despite the rather kneejerk,
responses here about the Tea Party as an obviously well-presented object to deride and make fun of, we have a lot to learn from this latest media-inspired debacle, don't we?

While these people may be poorly informed, (and insert any "we are not like them" derogatory term here) they clearly represent something important. We can see that, experimentally, (as with the Bush elections) a certain base of people can easily be cajoled to react and form a reactive noise-making rabble.

This social engineering might prove useful for us as well if we start to make sense of it in a larger way and pull back from the catharsis of poking fun at our fellow Americans. Yeah, I am looking at the house that is divided and how it falls, but I am not suggesting that the rift so carefully inserted can ever be healed or seen for what it is. That has been made clear here.

To sum it up, the Tea Party agenda is obviously a ruse. They seem to be generally reviving and applying a rather obsolete aspect of the old Conservative platform in a time where it is not the size of government is not a pressing issue, but its involvement and affiliation with the corporate agenda most certainly is. In this case, an argument is made that government size and the current, dominant party at its helm is the cause of all our problems and that looks, in a cursory sense, like a classic fall guy scenario while the real perpetrator sits back and enjoys how much heat these false, Tea Bag issues dispel in the public forum. And yes, some corporations are getting some flack for their expert confidence game, but the insidious quality of the impact of the megaliths has hardly been scratched so far, and it must be. There will either be a major reckoning, or we will find ourselves and our progeny in a techno-fascist, inverse totalitarian nightmare at some point. Yeah, it is working that well, so far.

My point is, there are people who see the overall methods and progress of a global, corporate monoculture agenda and how far it has come. Seeing how it owns and utilizes the mass media to its own ends, that problem stands out for those who research the process and see what the underlying intent has been. So, we see how bizarro factions can easily be "manufactured", (not that there aren't plenty of people primed for being roused and led by deliberate fallacies). We see the Palin effect where you can take a blithering idiot who has proven to have poor governing skills, and a host of objectionable qualities, and propel that person into the limelight to the point that they're name is on lips on both sides of the divide. Not only that, the current helium-voiced, Barbie Doll lackey pulls in a cool $12 million dollars for taking the ride.

I would suggest to consider this as a test case in social manipulation rather than a chance for nose-thumbing and frustration. My question is, considering how well the Tea Party has done so far as far as attention and controversy goes, what if the media picked or created something even more threatening and effectual to manufacture and unleash on us all? I am sure people were not laughing at the Brown Shirts and making jokes about their spelling as their storefronts and teeth were being kicked in.
