What is your impression of the "Tea Party" movement in the USA?

Quote :

The Tea Party movement is a United States populist movement that emerged in 2009 through a series of locally- and nationally-coordinated protests. The protests are partially in response to several Federal laws: the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ("bailout"), the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("stimulus package"), and the health care reform bills.

The name "Tea Party" is a reference to the Boston Tea Party of 1773—a protest by American colonists against taxes imposed on them by the British government, and against the colonists' lack of commensurate representation in the British Parliament. Tea Party protests have sought to evoke themes, images and slogans similar to those used during the pre-revolutionary period in American history.

A joke.

The Tea Party is the conservative answer to all of the whacked leftist special interest groups.

I'm glad to see people being politically active, but I don't agree with most of what they believe.

Never forget that Adolf Hitler was the duly elected leader of Germany. This makes me worry that such a thing can happen again. Our current governor in Florida was put in by these ppl and in just one month he has shown the uncompromising arrogance that having such a power base causes. I think he is technically a Reptilian but even that party is starting to fight with him.

They are a roving band of raving lunatics.

They tend to remind me of something out of Deliverance.

The tea party is Bo more dangerous or uninformed than any leftist group. I think the real reason liberals don't like them is cause they can't monopolize activist groups anymore. It ticks them off. I love watching people react to tea parties. It's so much fun.

Oh no doubt we love watching them too. We envy their intelligence.









And they're NOT racist at all.

^^^^That last one looks like a bad joke. The problem with your pics is that anybody can take a few pics of a few dummies at any kind of rally. Rallies attract dummies. The tea party is simply no different than any other special interest group who rallies. Well, I guess there is one difference but I'll refrain from saying it in the interest of peace.
