Tea, Coffee, or Just More Taxes?

Politics could be amusing if it weren’t so vicious, double-dealing and demeaning. Take for example an article from the American Thinker on March 12, 2010, titled, “Lessons from the Coffee Party” wherein the travails and as usual, high hopes, of the liberals in our government try to belittle the wildly popular and outstandingly successful recent grass-roots (sorry Nancy, no Astroturf here) conservative organization named Tea Party or variations thereof.

I am not by any means sure, but I would wager a ‘bob’ or two that it took quite a few highly placed, long range firepower of pointy-headed, and common-senseless liberal flacks to arrive at such a clever and brutish foil of a name such as Coffee Party. How non-unique that moniker is. Obama probably is ready to award his “almost” Nobel Prize award to the thinkers who concocted such a non-brilliant name. Can’t you just imagine all those doltish professors and higher academia sitting around a table with one naked light (incandescent yet) bulb shining over their worried faces attempting to go “one up” over those unimaginative cretin conservatives who thought up the title, “Tea Party”? When one grumbled softly, “Wish I had some coffee”, the rout was on. All heads turned at once and looked at the stout fellow who uttered the coffee remark, and loudly applauded his ingenious contribution to their name search. “That’s it” shouted the others, “The Coffee Party, a perfect foil to the Tea Party.” So now the liberals are finally contestants for the public’s favor and all it took was some of the top brains(?) to get together in an expensive “Think Tank” and come up with the perfect foil for the uppity people who call themselves, “The Tea Party” and they ever so cleverly came up with the ingenious name of (drum roll please) “The Coffee Party”. Jeez, the cleverness of that is mind-boggling. Ya’ get it? They are the “Tea” party, so let’s be the “Coffee” party; incredibly stupefying – oops, mis-spelled that; it should be stupidfying. Seriously people, can you believe that to counter the wildly successfully Tea Party, named so to indicate that the people of America are Taxed Enough Already – TEA Party, all the liberals could come up with was the COFFEE party? Wow! And they actually win elections with that type of brain(?) power? It makes one wonder what they would have come up with had the conservatives named their movement the Beer party; I know; they would have named it the Pretzels Party. Really sharp guys these liberals. Incidentally, the infamous Mainstream Media, you know, those guys and gals that believe that liberal Democrats are the second coming of the tooth fairy and that Conservatives never do anything right; well they are very actively promoting that oh, so clever new name, The Coffee Party. I can’t get over how quick-witted all of those highly compensated people are. They certainly show that they are the right people for that party. According to Mark Fitzgibbons of AmericanThinker.com on March 12, 2010, “the mainstream media have made much noise for the Coffee Party. But for the free publicity given by its allies in the media, the Coffee Party is pure boredom. Its statist mission, combined with its slogan, "Wake Up and Stand Up," puts all but the most dedicated progressives to sleep.” They didn’t, but could have added “and makes Conservatives roll in the aisles with gales of laughter.” But still, one thing bothers me yet; the conservatives called their new cause the TEA party as I explained because of being ‘taxed enough already’ a self-explanatory message built right into the title. All we the people have to do now is figure out what the Coffee party message is; or if it is the same as usual for the liberals: no message, just more taxes and spending? And praise be Obama, of course.
