Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48455933 Now they (the Tea Party) have forced a shut down and gained nothing, have they lost all credibility? Does Boehner get sacked as speaker? Does this all get repeated in February? Think of the Tea Party as nagging wife to her husband's terrible eating habits warning of the day he will suffer a heart attack. Today being a close call but he hasn't changed his way, so the wife will still nag. "Fiery the Angels rose, & as they rose deep thunder roll'd Around their shores: indignant burning with the fires of Orc" - William Blake, America a Prophecy (...also misquoted in Blade Runner by Roy Batty) "Tempus est optimus iudex" - "Time is the best judge" "The very word "'secrecy'" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings." - John F. Kennedy, New York City, April 27, 1961 |

Does that help you to understand? When you hear the words "tea party" today, it is entirely 100% meaningless. It is simply another part of this ACT, this CHARADE we call "government". |

People who believe that Government and Politics is a 100% pony show also believe that totalitarianism can or will be fully established. They give way too much credit to the smoke and mirror mentality. The Vets who moved the barriers were "dead" serious. |
