America on the brink of a Second Revolution ( Comments on the Tea Party --Paul Farrell )

Commentary: 2010 elections guarantee gridlock, anti-capitalist class war

ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. (MarketWatch) -- “What’s distinctive about the Tea Party is its anarchist streak -- its antagonism toward any authority, its belligerent self-expression, and its lack of any coherent program or alternative to the policies it condemns,” warns Jacob Weisberg in Newsweek. But why not three cheers for the Tea Party Express?

Admit it, something historic is brewing. And yes, it’s good for America, even the anarchy. Revolution is renewal. Tea-baggers want to take on both parties, “restore honor” and “take back the country.” Bring it on, the feeling’s mutual.

OK, maybe most Americans just silently mimic the words, “we’re mad as hell, won’t take it any more.” But watch out: After November the campaign’s shrill rhetoric explodes into action.

Tea-baggers are kicking the revolution into high gear. Debt is sinking America. Both parties are to blame. So vote out incumbents. Spare no one. We need new leadership, another Reagan or Truman. Congress better get the message: Cut that budget, or they’ll dump the rest of you in the coming Great Purge of 2012.

Unfortunately they’re tone deaf. Congress cannot see past the election. All that changes in November.

So thanks Tea Party, Vegas odds must favor a Second American Revolution. Actually, the revolution is already roaring, hot, it’s about time. The GOP and the Dems had more than a decade. But America’s worse off. We need a real revolution to restore sanity … or we can kiss democracy and capitalism good-bye, permanently.

It's technical.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

The American Spectator articles are great. Thanks so much for posting them. The first I read about the “ruling class” was Thomas Sowell’s “The Vision of the Annointed.”

That is a great book and I am glad these understandings are being reviewed again. Limo liberals got their nasty reputations by earning it. Now they call themselves “progressives” instead of liberals. They still have everyone jumping thru their nasty hoops. The latest is that all must bow down to homosexuality. Sick bastards.

Americans are easily baited one group (perferred by the progressives) against the other group (hated by the progressives). That is why there will be no return to liberty. That is why we fail every time to reform government and the ruling class’ power.

You're right - the guy hates us. Not only does he call us teabaggers, but when he knows Dems are going to get their butts kicked, he jumps to the front of the parade and calls for ALL incumbents to be kicked out.

Yeah, he's one of us - right. How stupid does he think we are?

If Republicans were being kicked out in droves this haters would NOT be calling for all incumbents to be kicked out. What a manipulative jerk.

Be careful what you wish for.

I think alot of people really don’t know what a civil war would mean. Or a military coup.

the Second American Revolution will extract painful austerity, not the “happy days are here again” future touted by tea-baggers.

I think that no one knows that austerity is a necessary prelude to future happy days for America better than those who support the tea parties.

“teabagger”

Yep the author is an idiot. A fuzzy headed college prof idiot.

The influence of the Tea Party is not about GOP as usual. It is TIME to DownSize DC!

We are not talking about osterity and budget cuts. We are talking about eliminating entire Departments that do not work. Those Departments that are simply making things worse by their presence. Example: Department of Education, EPA, etc.

IT IS TIME NOW!

I've got a two "tea-bagger" limit. Sorry.

Gee, you might want to think about rephrasing that...

Cheers!

Incoherent gibberish.

You're being kind. That was quite possibly the most ridiculously stupid article I have ever seen posted here. The guys who claim that FEMA is going to round us all up in white school buses and haul us off to re-education camps make more sense.

"A total waste of Oxygen"

"No stars"

"Read something else instead"
