Rule 1: Leftists lie. Always.

Rule 2: See my tagline.

Rule 3: There is no Rule 3.

Haven’t heard Tea Party mentioned much in years.

Deplorables, perhaps. As there was at the time no Tea Party, per se but multiple organizations that took the name…who precisely are they referring to?

White and proud.
Male and proud.
Straight and proud.
Carnivore and proud.
Conservative and proud.
Patriot and proud.

Lefty don’t like that? Well...I think I’ll make that a t-shirt.

“Rule 1: Leftists lie. Always.”

The problem is that the tea party wasn’t really that conservative.

It was most animated by people who thought their socialist Medicare was going to go away with Obamacare.

Sure, the obligatory nod to government bloat, but the real action was protecting one socialist program from another socialist program

“The problem is that the tea party wasn’t really that conservative.”

Very true. “Taxed Enough Already” is what it stood for. It was pretty typical. They wanted the “benefits” they were promised but refused to deal with the fact that those programs are going broke. The math is pretty simple, really.

But that doesn’t obviate the truth of my response.

Enjoy your day.

The winners get to write the history books. The left must be destroyed.

Suspected serial homosexual pedophile Matthew Dood of GayBC weighs in:

"A fundamental flaw in this analysis is there is no mention of race and how much racism drove the Tea Party movement," ABC's Matthew Dowd claimed. "You can't talk about the rage politics and leave out race."

Your point is true about leftists lying.

But we need to be honest about the Tea Party as it manifested as well.

There is no appetite on the left or the right for cutting spending or government, so any tax cuts that are ever able to be achieved will be modest and transitory.

We are all socialists/leftists to some degree if you look at what we collectively do, rather than what we say.

That is the lie of the Tea Party.

Major figure in the Pedophiles Against Trump movement, Wesley Lowery, weighs in:

"How do you write a 10 years later piece on the Tea Party and not mention -- not once, not even in passing -- the fact that it was essentially a hysterical grassroots tantrum about the fact that a black guy was president?" asked non-biased Washington Post reporter Wesley Lowery, calling it journalistic "malpractice."

The left answers to the Great Deceiver, Satan. So, of course they are going to be all about lying.

I just listened to a woman who was a Detroit city councilwoman who stated that tea party was just the KKK without the sheets. She was not challenged

The “right” is only slightly less left than the “left”

Until we are ready to effectively discuss eliminating socialism in all its forms, particularly social security and Medicare, the “left” you wish to destroy is also, in no small part statring us back in the mirror.

We don’t need to “do” anything. Our goobermint is destroying itself. Make popcorn. Stay ready to survive. It’s that simple. The survivors will be “the winners”. Keep your pocket Constitution handy.
