To Those that Talk the Tea Party Talk But are Tea Party Con Artists


 I see Teocons. I see them everywhere.

There was a time the Tea Party stood for fiscal responsibility, small government and liberty.

It  started under President Bush, in opposition to the trillion dollar debt and deficits brought about by the wars, the corrupt gift horse to the drug companies known as Medicare Part D and the fiscal recklessness of tax cuts in war time while spending on wars soared. In the space of 6 years the Bush presidency took us from a surplus to trillions in debts and deficits.


The Tea Party grew into numbers that made it a force to be reckoned with after President Obama was elected mainly because of Obamycare, the Republican brainchild of yet more corporate welfare to health insurance companies with a mandate no less, to buy now ever rising price gouging policies in anticipation of those subsidies in 2013. (One wonders who was really in power while Democrats held both houses in Congress when Republicans were able to get Romneycare passed at the Federal level. Mind boggling. Nothing is what it seems in the criminal syndicate run on legalized bribes slash/ brothel that is Congress, in recent history.)


In 2000 as in decades before, we had Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, food stamps and yes, even Planned Parenthood.  What we didn’t have back then were trillion dollar a year wars, the reckless, unpatriotic tax cuts for war profiteers and the uber wealthy in war time and the trillion dollar corrupt gift horses to corporate America, especially the drug companies. Yet corrupt Republican and Democrat politicians alike, will have you believe now, that we got into the fiscal mess we are in by spending on Medicare and Social Security and other social programs.


Wars don’t pay for themselves, especially ones that cost 1 trillion a year. So you borrow (or steal) from Social Security and blame the trillions in debt on social programs in order to fund the wars. We, you and I, pay for our social programs, but a corrupt, treasonous Congress has taken that money. They go to work with one thing in mind: how much of the taxpayer pie can they give to their campaign donors who profit with wars or sell insurance, etc. Regardless, the Tea Party was about the fiscal recklessness of these wars and corrupt laws that take from the taxpayer pie to give to the highest bidders, like pharma.


Something has happened to that Tea Party. It has morphed into something unrecognizable, far from the principles that were at the heart of the movement. It has morphed into an organization co-opted by con artists and imitation conservatives that have infiltrated and called the movement, falsely, their own.


Those that have been part of the original Tea Party movement a little longer than the newer organized “Tea Party” organizations since the election of President Obama, are very troubled that the original Tea Party’s message is being lost due to the integration of other issues, such as abortion and Planned Parenthood which does little to fund abortions. The original Tea Party is worried about the birther crowd that would not even exist if this President’s name was not Hussein and was White and if the religious right did not think he was not a Christian. To listen to the calls for this man’s birth certificate after he has provided it twice makes the Tea Party look like the racist, aluminum, foil hat party. These distractions are completely overshadowing the original message of the Tea Party.


The original Tea Party is worried about corporate and plutocrat agendas becoming the agendas of the Tea Party organizations. They especially worry that the Tea Party is all of a sudden the "Teocon Neocon Party", hijacked and co-opted by corrupt Republican, war oligarchy hawks that got us into this fiscal mess to begin with, like Bachman, Pence, Goehmert, Huckabee, Palin, Army, Rove amongst others and the motor mouths on Fox News and every other oligarchy corporate media outlet that sold us, like pair of Nikes, every war we are in! 


The Tea Party is being blamed for the birthers and the religious, tyrannical right, tax cuts for war profiteers and when that happens the message to end spending on wars and Empires, to end corporate subsidies and to end an oligarchy that is served by corrupt politicians in Congress, is lost.


In addition, the Tea Party has lost the bipartisanship it once enjoyed! Independents and liberals are running the other way from the distorted messages that are not related to the original movement that they are getting now! As an independent, whose vote the Tea Party needs, I am speaking from experience

I must ask self proclaimed Tea Party supporters something. Do you or do you not support the Tea Party movement that started under Bush against these wars and the destructive consequences they have for our solvency and strength as a Nation or are you a Tea Party con artist? Choose!  Are you the party of the religious right that wants huge, invasion of privacy, humongous anti-conservative government that extends right into the doctor's office and the wombs of every woman in the United States? Are you the gay hate party that does not know how to live and let live? Are you the birther party that is being used as a tool to distract the media and the corrupt politicians from the issue of spending on eternal wars? Are you a racist fringe party that hates Obama because he is Black? Are you the scared of Muslims, "Anti -Sharia Law Party"? Are you a divided and conquered partisan ignoramus who attacks fellow Americans that happen not to agree with the right, who vote Democrat, of not loving their country and being Marxist as if you were somehow more patriotic then them? Are you a victim of media motor mouths from Glenn Beck to Ed Schultz whose sole purpose is to divide and conquer so that the American people never unite to take their country back from a plutocratic oligarchy and because of that attack the Occupy Wall Street movement which you are clueless to know, seeks the very things you do and with whom you have so much in common?


Better yet, are you all of a sudden the " Neocon Teocon Party", hijacked and co-opted by Republican war hawks that got us into this fiscal mess? Do you call yourself a conservative but want to bomb Iran? Newsflash! Conservative means less spending, smaller government and freedom. Wars EXPLODE government and spending, destroy our fiscal soundness, explode the debt and in times of war, government strips us of our freedoms. So if you want to vote for a bomb Iran candidate you are a conservative fraud. Most importantly, McCain lost to Obama because of his bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran crap. When Republicans nominate another bomb Iran candidate they will be electing President Obama in 2012.


It amazes me that these Teocons call themselves “patriots” to boot. The Tea Party “Patriots” just endorsed, Newt Gingrich, a bomb Iran candidate who wants the infamous John Bolton to run his State Department! (John Bolton has gone on to endorse Mitt Romney for President which should exclude Romney as a candidate for a true Tea Party voter.) Do these supposed “patriots” even know what the consequences of bombing Iran are and how patriotic is it to want ruin our Nation with trillions of more debt that another war would bring while whining for tax cuts for the uber rich war profiteers? Tea Party “Patriots” are for sale to corporate oligarchs and war profiteers. They are Teocons. War with Iran is coming if we the people don’t stop it in its tracks. A true patriot and Tea Party activist would do everything in their power to stop the ruination of our country with another war.


Choose! Are you or are you not the Tea Party that started with the core concepts of fiscal responsibility and limited government which means an end to these wars that grows government exponentially and ruins us fiscally? What are you? Choose! Because the true Tea Party message is lost amongst all those other religious, anti-Muslim, bomb Iran, anti-contraception, cut Medicare, cut Social Security, etc. imitation tea party, TEOCON messages.


Choose.

Jeanette Borges is a Floridian, independent, leaning conservative, free thinking, non-partisan who blames the American electorate, especially Republicans who call themselves “conservatives” but are no such thing, for  electing Neocon, HUGE government, huge spending, less freedoms, anti-conservative war candidates for the current state of our Nation. It is mind boggling that they are going to do it again and hand Obama victory in 2012 by choosing another bomb Iran candidate. Please, please a comment and let me know what you think of this article.

Open Letter to Congress: Re: SOPA/PIPA

January 21, 2012



Dear Member of Congress

Although some in Congress state now they oppose SOPA and PIPA, the American people don't believe for a minute that a corrupt Congress will not find a way of selling out to the highest bidders on this or any other issue, so to be clear: SOPA/PIPA would put the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites. Small sites won't have sufficient resources to defend themselves. Big media companies may seek to cut off funding sources for their foreign competitors, even if copyright isn't being infringed. Foreign sites will be blacklisted, which means they won't show up in major search engines. SOPA and PIPA would build a framework for future restrictions and suppression.

In a world in which politicians choose to allow corporations with big money to regulate the Internet based on the influence of big money, Wikipedia — and sites like it — cannot survive.

Congress says it's trying to protect the rights of copyright owners, but the "cure" that SOPA and PIPA represent is worse than the disease. SOPA and PIPA are not the answer: they would fatally damage the free and open Internet. Congress says this won’t affect American sites. Well what’s to stop other countries from doing to us what you want to do to them? What’s to stop corporations from manipulating the laws and abuse them, simply to wipe out competitors that provide free services and content? What’s to stop them from using this law to make the Internet another source of milking the masses which is all they ever want even if it means destroying lives, businesses, jobs and our very economy as we have seen them do already?

No one, absolutely no one, anywhere, here or abroad, should start screwing with the Internet. Since government can’t abridge freedom of speech and the press, in an end run around the First Amendment, Congress has consolidated the media and given corporate media in the hands of FIVE people, the power to censor, filter, spin and propagandize our right to know, which is the purpose of a free press. Now Congress proposes to do the same thing with the Internet: give corporations the legal means to censor, filter and decide what information we are to have, what we should know, because the government can’t.

We are sick of living in a plutocratic oligarchy. We are sick of the corruption. Stop selling our Bill of Rights, our health, our military, our income, our environment, our freedoms and our very lives to the highest bidders. Passing legislation simply because lobbyists can buy our corrupt Congress is abhorrent to the constitution and everything we hold dear in a democracy.

With the occupy movement and the Tea Party pulling together on this issue Congress and the oligarchs its serves should think of the consequences of a people united rising up to take back their country from a government so corrupt it revolts the American people.

The Founders designed a government of, by and for the people, not of, by and for the highest bidders. It is cause for a massive uprising at this point.

Most Sincerely


YOUR NAME
