The Tea Party Mindset Summed Up Perfectly...

[Frank Cannon]

By blogger/commenter Davis X. Machina, as spotted on Reddit:

“The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of who will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.”

1. That's the red state mentality

They'll foam over the mouth at a few percent of people doing EBT card fraud but defend wall Street corruption as "that's just the way capitalism works". I hear them personally do this many a time.


Check out this propaganda and check out the comments:

9. Neal Boortz is as fully

repulsive as Limbaugh.

2. My only quibble

is that the Tea Party is like the trucker protest and all those other sham "protests" that Faux has tried to gin up. There is nothing like 70 million Tea Party people. And a majority of them are happy to take Medicare, Social Security and/or food stamps.

But unfortunately there do seem to be something like 70 million people who are so ignorant, racist, scared,or just plain stupid that they will vote 180 degrees against their own interests every time.

3. I have several acquaintances who identify themselves as teabaggers.

And this is 100 percent how they all think. One of them barely has a pot to piss in, but he blames it on the "wetback" who "took" his shitty job as a prison guard.

4. Nailed It In One, Sir

Jesus wept....

5. The Networks and radio stations use our airwaves under license. It is time to take a good hard look

at how we regulate these few entities that control what the majority of Americans see and hear. They have become propaganda machines for the Plutocrats and are how they manipulate the less educated, and even those who should already know better. When Fox News can win an appeal that now says it is ok for them to lie, so they and other Networks do, Houston, we have a problem!

6. It's the classic difference between a liberal and a conservative

A Liberal fears that someone, somewhere is not getting what they need.

A Conservative fears that someone, somewhere is getting something they don't deserve.

8. This is something we should all memorize and use often...

I only wish that more conservatives could be shamed.

[hue]

12. If they could be shamed they wouldn't be conservatives/RW'ers.

They have no sense of shame or guilt. They have no empathy. They have no sense of community. It is all about "me, myself & I".
Ironically they are completely oppositional to Jesus's rule of love: "Do unto others as You would have them do to You" or "Love Your neighbor as Yourself."

[polichick]

13. And yet they look forward to "the end times" when they will be the chosen ones.

[hue]

14. Yeah! Michele Bachmann's mantra!! (Glad I'm not going to be in her group!)

[alterfurz]

15. liberal: we're all in this together...

conservative: I've got mine...fuck you.

[Enthusiast]

10. And "they" get to define who is deserving.

Their deserving are mostly deserving because they inherited huge wealth.

7. K&R

I don't care for their mindset.

[DirtyDawg]

11. Even when...

...I call bullshit on my conservative - or more accurately, Wingnut - friends and prove to them that the thing they're saying, have emailed or posted on Facebook, is a complete lie, their response is, simply, 'I don't care if it's true or not, it's the thought that counts.'

What the hell can you do with these people?

[spanone]

16. yep.

k&r...

[kydo]

17. I could have done this in one short sentence. Stupid is as stupid does.

Stupid being the only requirement to join the Tea Party. Smart people need not apply as they are to hard to turn into bigots and racists.
