Tea Party Fraud

Eric of Classical Values sent me this link via e-mail about the Tea Party Convention held Saturday.

I was particularly struck by this comment:

RueTheDay says:

The whole Teaparty Movement is a fraud.

Charging $600 for tickets to the Tea Party Convention, so attendees can eat steak and lobster at the Opryland while listening to a mainstream politician (Sarah Palin) who's being paid $115k to give a speech - this is supposed to be a grassroots populist movement aimed at changing the status quo in DC? LOL.

Tea Party fraud? For charging money? The people who went there wanted to go. They willingly forked over their own money to see the show and be a part of it. But OK I'm down with the idea that it was a fraud. But the Government is a bigger fraud. With the Tea Party Convention I had a choice. I didn't have to support it if I didn't want to. I didn't have to pay a dime to watch Andrew Breitbart there. The Government is different. It makes me pay for things I don't even want at the point of a gun. Which makes the Government not only a bigger fraud but also a Criminal Enterprise.

I thought this book title seemed apt: It's Getting Ugly Out There: The Frauds, Bunglers, Liars, and Losers Who Are Hurting America.

Wouldn't surprise me to learn the ruetheday is also convinced that there are no such things as true mass movements; that common folk are incapable of organizing on their own, on an ad hoc basis. Something like the Tea Party Movement has to be organized by a mysterious cabal (tinc) passing on orders from on high, because ordinary people are incapable of doing anything for themselves.

In other words, ruetheday is an authoritarian with delusions of insight.

Damn grassroots, occasionally eating lobster and spending their own money as they see fit.

And note that the government spent $2.5 million Sunday on a 30-second ad spot, and told us they were doing it to save us money.

That $2.5 million was in addition to the $3.5 million they spend EVERY 30 seconds.
