This is an amusing article. It makes no sense. It talks about the Tea Party having all kinds of wild, extreme ideas and being rigid, but doesn’t say what they are.
One line is “Everyone thought you were just fiscal crusaders, period! Then once the layers of the onion started to unfold, your ideas left everyone in tears.”
OK. What are those ideas? The Tea Party fundamentally is about fiscal responsibility and cutting back government. What is so crazy about that? What is wrong with saying that we have to cut spending to live within our means? Spending has doubled since Bush took office. There is no ability to cut that back by 10% or 20%? Is that “crazy”?
People who write articles like this are just plain stupid. They believe the baseless media hype that the Tea Party is full of “extreme” people with “crazy” ideas. The media repeats that over and over and over and then stupid, wishy-washy Republicans believe it.
Anyone with the pen name “Becky” is not to be taken seriously.
Agreed and good post. I believe this piece is pure propaganda. To me, this type of article is rude to the reader because the author makes no mention of counter arguments or different points of view. Aside from being a stinking pile.
