There comes a time when even the most serious of us needs to step back once in a while and laugh at it all. The thing that makes Tea Party jokes prime is that the accuracy of the insaniTEA is the humor.
1) You’re offended at any suggestion that the Tea Party is racist, even though nobody objects when people show up at your rallies with blatantly racist signs and slogans.
2) Ronald Reagan is your hero because he was against raising taxes and big government… even though he raised taxes 11 times, doubled the national debt, and tripled the size of government.
3) You mocked Nancy Pelosi for getting emotional when she reflected on the murder of her friend, Mayor George Mosconi, but you think it’s manly when John Boehner blubbers when he watches reruns of Flipper.
4) You were all in favor of George Bush bringing "Democracy" to Iraq by invading and killing hundreds of thousands of women and children, but you think Obama "blew it" by staying out of it when the people of Tunisia and Egypt toppled their dictators in popular revolts.
5) You think Climate Change is a big hoax because Senator James Inhofe, firmly in the pocket of the oil companies says it’s bogus.
6) You think president Obama’s birth certificate is a forgery, and that he managed to fool the CIA, FBI, NSA, Secret Service and the entire US government archive of documents with one Photoshopped image.
7) You think president Obama is a socialist, because he wants all Americans to pay their share of taxes, including the rich, and all Americans to enjoy the same benefits of an equitable society, including the same healthcare that Congress enjoys.
8) You think Glenn Beck’s theory of a Code Pink/Muslim/Communist alliance conspiracy to take over the world in a 21st Century caliphate makes perfect sense.
9) You believe the Citizens United decision was all about corporate "free speech," yet you’re against the Fairness Doctrine being reenacted, because you think it’s contrary to "free speech."
10) You are absolutely pro-life, under all circumstances — except when an abortion doctor is executed in his church, because he asked for it.
11) You thought it was cool when Sarah Palin "targeted" Democratic seats on her website with crosshairs, including Gaby Giffords. But when Giffords was shot in Arizona, you didn’t see any connection.
12) You think Sarah Palin would make a good president because she’s a feisty conservative, but that Diane Feinstein should be run out of town, because she’s a feisty liberal.
13) You think George Soros, a Hungarian born American citizen, is an enemy of freedom because he uses his vast wealth to meddle in foreign affairs. But you think it’s great that Australian-born Rupert Murdoch uses his vast wealth to meddle in American affairs.
14) The main reason you despise George Soros, is because he helped bring down three foreign governments; the Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, and Soviet Georgia. Three communist regimes. Ronald Reagan on the other hand, took down one communist regime: Grenada… Reagan: 1, Soros: 3. Ergo, Soros is an un-American commie. Besides, Sean Hannity said so.
15) You think being a Teabagger makes you more patriotic than liberals, because you own more guns than them wussiesβ¦

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Thanks, TC!
We miss you on Fb.
Thank you Candace. FB was the biggest waste of time I ever saw. π
Okay. We don’t really miss you.
I’m sorry Candace. I didn’t mean it bad. I miss the people too. It was the creeping brain-drain of the format I hated.
As I recall, it was that you were ordered to leave Fb by your probation officer.
You’re right, but I was already thinking of it, because it was taking so much of my time that other things were suffering. It’s not that I did not enjoy it. It’s more that I enjoyed it too much. I miss a lot of the people, but if I were still there, I would not have the time I spend here to make this better.
These people need a nice padded cell and lots of thorazine.
Is thorazine strong enough? π
