Again the past any years we’ve seen a few political crazies become out of the woodwork. Most of the rhetoric seeing from the Tea Brink is false, unfounded, misguided, and reactionary to the flash of absurd. The sorrowfully part is, the participants primarily consist of the very same people that would advantage from the objects they resist.
The Tea Side emerged when the debate more health care reform starts even as a a few years ago. At the existence, here takes talk of government funded universal health care as the goal. As a reaction, the massive insurance companies started a campaign among their employees to frighten them inward believing their jobs were at stake, i.e. “You’ll lose your job if the government passes Single Payer Universal Health Solicitude!” A movement like the Tea Party becomes not do thus influential thereby quickly without titan money backing from companies worried narrow their interest margins.
While the health care debate shifted away from One Payer / Government funded to the complex Intimate Insurer gold haste it is then, the Tea Side should get disbanded, but it didn’t. Instead, it morphed into a few kind of path in the direction of old people to blow off steam near a million other questions equivalent to “Hey you kids, run away my lawn!” Visiting from the same mindset that despised “those helluva hippies” that resisted the Vietnam Soldierly, the new demonstrators ironically exploit the same ways of challenge (signs, slogans, marches, righteous indignation, threats of revolution, etc.) but this instant with an ultra-patriotic theme, the exact opposite of the Anti-War activists of yore.
An underlying racist opposition to a ebony President is the unspoken glue that ties the Tea Brink together. Supplement blind allegiance to both Christianity and Patriotism and it’s the same dangerous mixture that carried in advance the Nazi Party in Germany and the Communist witch hunts of Senator Joesph McCarthy.

As an artist, I can see the writing on the wall, and I experience the need to apply whatever avenues are available to me to counter balance these forces. I DON’T obtain access to Fox News to express my views, or millions of dollars to “buy” an opinion that real matters.
I donate to you once, my satire of urgent patriotism, taken to the flash of fetishism. In this episode, Slumber sack floor Master Josh West got Kory Kong chained to the rafters with an American flag draped around his waist. As Joseph rips the flag off menacingly and throws it to the floor, accusing Kory of existence UN-patriotic, we see a blatant example of the powerful blaming the weak in the direction of a crime they didn’t commit, everything in the name of God and Country. Naturally, what follows is accusations of, “What’s the question, are you a Socialist? Are you a Communist?”, both words instant the worst thing you could accuse somebody of existence in this media catch-phrase society.
Kory’s reaction to these accusations are of surprise, disbelief and concern towards his safety; the same reactions that Progressives obtain with the Tea Party. Just as yet in examine, the patriotic zealot since pulls outside a leather strap to smash the naked, tie, and obedient Kory while stretching him to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
Albeit I don’t have a politically oriented analogy in the direction of the leaving, I desired to wrap it up with something shocking easily towards the shock value. (Glenn Beck, I hope you’re visiting!) The seance ends with Kory shooting on the American flag. (I will depart it to the scholars 20 years from immediately to research it.)
Perhaps my allegory went a bit also faraway towards the randy youngsters viewing this site one-handed (and not reading the text…), but towards the 4th of July, I even as wanted to instant outward that our supreme national holiday means a appearance of various objects to other folk.
Oh, and likewise nerds gain de facto gigantic cocks.
