We hear more and more liberal politicians and pundits talk about the Tea Party as if they were murderous terrorists bent on destroying our nation as we know it. That tells you all we need to know, but not exactly why.
During budget debates of the past, Democrats have always resorted to one tried-and-true tactic: scaring senior citizens. Whether it’s a fictitious “cut” in Social Security benefits or prescription drugs subsidies, liberals will reliably scare the # out of seniors because it’s a fact they are a loyal and reliable voting block that will lash out at any politician that dares step on the third rail of the day.
The dirty little secret is that the Tea Party is the conservative version of the AARP. The evil Tea Party, holding politicians and legislation hostage, are predominately retired veterans and senior citizens alike. They have time on their hands so they can, and will, mobilize, are focused, stubborn, and capable of holding liberal politicians accountable for their actions.
What really frustrates Democrats is that the Tea Party cannot be controlled, they are informed, have flexed their muscle on numerous election days to the detriment of the left, and are very difficult to smear personally as they have no clear leader nor rap sheet.
Unlike the Occupy and/or progressive demonstrations that require heavy police presence and extensive clean up after, Tea Party demonstrations are consistently peaceful, and the locations used for their rallies often look cleaner after than before. You know this pisses off the left, it’s really hard to demonize your grandparents, and don’t think it’s not being considered….
Liberal New Republic suggests Obama use military against Tea Party
What is a president in a presidential constitutional republic to do when faced with an intransigent, bull-headed faction among his people’s representatives?
The left cannot coexist with the Tea Party and this is why they really want them to go away, for good.
We’ll see who wins.
