The Tea Party people are rightfully mad. But they don’t have a clue as to what the real problem is and how to correct it.

They like to engage in Republican and Corporate organized corporate events and call that a Tea Party. They somehow insanely believe that engaging in more of the same will get them something different.

They are aging ‘baby boomers’ that want only social benefits for themselves (social security, medicare, unemployment, etc.) but get all hot and bothered if their suffering brothers and sisters are able to get any governmental support.

The Tea Party people are confused. They say they are against Big Government but want it if they will benefit from it.

For example, “ Seventy-four percent of self-described Tea Party Supporters would support a “national manufacturing strategy to make sure that economic, tax, labor, and trade policies in this country work together to help support manufacturing in the United States,” according to the poll, put out by the Mellman Group and the Alliance for American Manufacturing. Likewise, 56 percent of self-described Tea Party Supporters “favor a tariff on products imported from other countries that are cheaper because they came from a country that does not have to comply with any climate change regulations in the country where the products were made.” (source: think progress)

But while the Tea Party people have play let’s pretend at Republican staged events called protests, there are people taking to the streets with a real understanding of just what is happening.

Today there are people with a clear understanding of fascism, globalization, and the corporatization that is destroying the planet. They are protesting, or at least trying to, in Toronto Canada at the G-20 Summit where the political puppets of the largest economies gather to plan more fascism for the world.

John Clarke, an activist at the Canadian G-8 and G-20 Summit and founder of Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, explains it the meetings this way.

….And they were formed at a time when the world economy was in crisis, and they were looking to rearrange the world economy on the basis of a neoliberal agenda, to impose massive cutbacks and austerity on populations, to reverse the relative concessions of the postwar boom years. And their strategy all along has been to do that.

And this gathering, which has now been broadened to the G20 formation, I think, is setting itself the task of essentially deepening the process of austerity massively. They just stabilized the system with this binge of spending, bailouts to corporations and banks and what have you, spent trillions of dollars, and they’re looking to impose—looking to come to us for the bill. The International Monetary Fund is talking about twenty years of austerity.

So these meetings are always vile. They’re always reprehensible. They always need to be challenged. But this one in Toronto, I think, is exceptionally important….(source: democracy now)

The government of Canada has spent billions for a 3 day event. The city of Toronto is presently a police state. There are government provocateurs pretending to be anarchists out smashing windows to give the Canadian government a good excuse to use violence against protesters trying to save humanity and the planet from corporate greed in action–fascism.

So as the Tea Party people engage in the senseless nonsense that is literally contributing to the Madness. The real action is taking place around the world, and now in Toronto, by those that are trying to stop the Madness.

LOL!! Same old crap. A bunch of America-hating scumbags spitting their vile hatred at anyone who supports our republic.
