The Tea Party

Sometimes it is grating that so many self-anointed elitists run down the Tea Parties. I wonder if they realize that, without the Tea Parties, the Dems would have done much better and many Reps who were elected would have been the spineless legislators of the past few decades.

I still keep hearing that the Tea Partiers are "racists," "bigots," etc., that "they have no ideas." Now I know I've written about that before, that just because people have ideas different from others doesn't mean they aren't ideas. They're just different ideas and, because others don't agree with them, doesn't mean they aren't ideas or even good ideas. Looking around at things the way they are now, maybe some of the "good" ideas of the past 50 years haven't really been so "good." Of course, the self-anointed elitists, who know better than anyone else about everything, would surely never concede that, would they?

And what about the leadership in both parties. What arrogant fools! They equate the Tea Parties with the common folks, you know, US! And listen to the fools, how they run us down, how we don't really know what's best for us, how they have all the answers. Yep, they've sure solved a lot of problems, haven't they?

No doubt, the Tea Partiers do have some less than desirable characters. But should we begin to list the scoundrels in the major parties? How about listing those who have shown themselves to be very stupid? Oh, I forgot...that doesn't matter.
