Boston Should Sue

Boston should sue the Tea Party for giving New England patriots a bad name. If it were not clear a year ago when the Tea Party was making its way onto the political scene, it should be now that the Tea Party not only has brought together folks with extreme tendencies toward meaness and stupidity, but it has also served to demonstrate exactly how politically and constitutionally illiterate the American public has become (or maybe it was always that way). Tea Party candidates have, so far, demonstrated lack of knowledge of the Constitution they say they are defending, most recently the first amendment; demonstrated that they never took one course in political science, confusing center-right policies of the Obama administration with Socialism; and, shown that they don't undestand the most basic principles of math; not being able to count up the debt and spending of the 8 years of the Bush administration as they criticize the Obama administration for government spending and increasing the debt. In fact, the American people should sue the Tea Party for casting doubt on the basic capacity of our people to be able to manage simple concept and to use the powers of reason to confront national problems.

The patriots who tossed the tea of English ships into the Boston Harbor would turn over in their graves to see the spectacle of uninhibited ignorance and and unintelligible political analysis that comes out of the mouths of the Tea Party candidates. And, we will soon be trying to save the country from its own grave if the Tea Party gains any significant toe hold in the legistlative branches of our national and state governments.

In fact, rather that sue, we should just throw the Tea Party overboard...but we won't, because, in fact, it may be that the Tea Party really does represent a significant portion of our population which would be proof that we have regressed in all senses since December 17, 1773 when' after the events of the day before, the Boston Harbor tasted like "earl gray."

What can I say. In a democracy you get what you vote for. Woe is Us!!!
