 I seeTeocons. 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.

Something has happened to that Tea Party. It has morphed into something unrecognizable, since Obama was elected President, far from the principles that were at the heart of the movement. It has morphed into an organization of con artists, imitation conservatives, racists, Christian zealots, Sharia law fanatics and co opted by corporate interests, that have overtaken the movement and falsely call it their own. Saddest of all, the last thing any of these people stand for is freedom and liberty for all and small government. They are teocons.

You know, 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.

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. The Tea Party was about small government, not forcing women to have vaginal ultrasounds, forcing women to have a baby even after rape or incest and closing down Planned Parenthood who in reality due to the contraception they provide have prevented more abortions then they perform and who spend 3% of their budget on abortions.

The Tea Party was never about the  birther crowd that would not even exist if this President’s name was not Hussein, was White and the religious right were not Islamaphobes.  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 Tea Party was never about freaking Sharia law but now it is.

The Tea Party was about freedom and liberty, not about making it harder to vote. Republican state legislatures thanks to this new breed of Tea Party is doing just that. They would rather win by making harder for the opposition to vote instead of by the merits of their values and policies. It is sickening to see so called “patriots” agree with this targeting of voters who typically vote Democrat. It’s freedom and liberty for us, the Tea Party, but not for any of you. Patriot? BS.

The Tea Party was about fiscal responsibility, not spending trillions on wars. Bombing Iran is the new Tea Party’s mission since the Christian right infiltrated it.

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 and who continue with the likes of 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, Sharia law crap, tax cuts for war profiteers, attacking voting rights, forced ultrasounds and family planning intrusions 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

Choose! Are you the party of the religious right that wants HUGE government, invasion of privacy, anti-conservative government that extends right into the doctor's office and the wombs of every woman in the United States deciding for you whether or not you can have access to contraception and women’s health because of the despotic religious right who don’t know how to live and let live and let God be the judge? Are you the gay hate party that does not know how to live and let live? Are you the birther or fringe white, Christian, racist 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 Democrats in 2016.

So what the hell are you? 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, stop the other side from voting, cut Medicare, cut Social Security, etc. imitation tea party, TEOCON messages.

Choose.
