Don't Look Now, But We Are Out Of Tea

The problem with nut bags is that they are completely unreliable.  What you haven't been hearing from the "liberal" media is that the numbers at Tea Party rallies are downright embarrassing.  Michelle Bachmann held a rally in South Carolina and only 300 people attended.  I have had more people at weekend parties I've thrown.  If you can only draw 300 people in South Carolina when you preach hate towards everyone that isn't white, you are really in the toilet politically.

If you have been a "Liberal Voice" reader, you will probably remember a blog that I wrote explaining why the Tea Party is not a real movement.  Once again, I have been proven correct.  Real movements gain steam by attracting open-minded people to the movement.  The Tea Party is now and has always been full of aging white bigots that have nothing in common with our diverse society.  Those aging white bigots are now dying off (hallelujah), and they have been exposed for the idiots they truly are.  When the average American thinks that you are stupid, you are in trouble.  These are the same Americans that worship reality TV and hold up signs that say, "Snookie for President!" 

But, let's have a little (very little) sympathy for the Tea Party, because they are unknowing victims of Corporate America.  If our media is so "liberal" how come they never asked where the money came from?  They simply accepted and legitimized an organization that mysteriously showed up in 2009 with buses, signs, permits, and $100,000 paychecks for Sarah Palin.  Really, no one questions these actions?  By the Tea Party's own admission, they have been in existence for over ten years.  Why didn't they gain notoriety until Barack Obama became President?  The Tea Party of today is nothing more than a Rove/Koch production.  And now, that the Tea Party has been outed as a lunatic factory, big business is moving on. 

Do you really think that Karl Rove is genuine when he bashes the nuts that he created?  How does no one see through this?  Karl Rove realizes that he got his money's worth.  The Tea Party effectively saved the Republican Party.  Republicans were able to masquerade themselves as Tea Party members, and now they have control of the Congress back.  If the Tea Party were still relevant, Karl Rove would be riding that gravy train all the way to the 2012 election.

If you think I am naive about Karl Rove's intentions let me ask you this, "'Why didn't he denounce the 'birther' crap before?' 'Why did he wait two years?'"  All of sudden the Republicans are on the side of rationality, and the "liberal" media is eating it up.  Headlines read, "Has Karl Rove Set the Record Straight?"  There is no "liberal" media.  Media is corporately controlled.  If you don't think so, then why didn't Leslie Stahl challenge the CEO from Cisco when he ridiculously tried to convince America that high corporate tax rates were the reason jobs were being shipped overseas?  A real reporter would have asked, "Are you sure it's the tax rate and not the fact that you can pay sweatshop labor rates in Bangladesh?"

Republican voters never get it.  They are so easily scared by "boogie men," that they voted George Bush for President twice because he "kept our country safe."  It is so easy to tell a Republican a lie and get them to believe it.  It is why they never believe anything that is true.  For instance, only 38% of this country believes that climate change is real.  Never mind the evidence that we have and the total consensus by the scientific community.  They choose to believe the "scientists" hired by the oil companies. 

I know I am beating a dead horse, and I hate to say it (Oh, who am I bullshitting...I love to say it), but Republicans are so easily duped because of their faith in religious leaders.  They think that "God" creates monster storms to punish America for abortion and homosexuality.  They never once consider that these storms may be caused by people, like no harm can be caused by dumping horrible toxins like carbon monoxide into the air.

Before you get on your high horse (sorry...too many horse references), yes I realize that not all religious people think or behave the same way.  But, it is enough to really effect policy in our country.  Stupid things are done by stupid people in the name of religion, and the Tea Party members are shining examples of the religious right-wing.  Corporate America has realized that as long as people think that it is "God" and not “man” that is causing harm to our planet, they can continue to pollute for profit.  A corporation's job is to make a profit, nothing more, and nothing less.  If they don't maximize profits they can be sued by their stock holders.  It is up to lawmakers to hold them in check, and our lawmakers are failing.

Mark my words, long after the Tea Party is dead and buried, Corporate America will find a new group of idiots to latch onto.  They have been doing it for years.  It started with southern plantation owners that talked poor people into fighting a war against fellow Americans.  It moved onto the anti-union nuts, anti-civil rights nuts and finally to the evangelical nuts where it still resides.  They are told the same lie over and over again, and they continue to believe it.  And, the media continues to fuel the fire in order to secure ratings.  The Tea Party will die, and a new group will take their place.  But, the "leaders" will have a very familiar face with very familiar money.
