If there's one thing you should know about me before reading this, it's that I am NOT a very political person. I have my beliefs, but I've never gotten extremely involved in government and politics. However, something has been bugging me lately...
I keep hearing talk of political "Teabagging," and the new "Tea Party Movement," but I seriously can't figure out what the point of it is. I've seen posts on Twitter, blogs about it, and even news articles about it, but I have YET to figure out what it's supposed to achieve.
From what I've gathered, these "movement leaders" are protesting government spending, bailouts, and taxes. Maybe I'm missing a vital piece of the information, but haven't American's always disliked these things? Why are we making such a big stink about it now? I realize we're in a recession, and there are reasons to protest. However, doing so by literally throwing a box of tea bags over the White House fence doesn't seem like a very persuasive way to convince the government of ANYTHING.
Or how about the people who are dumping thousands of tea bags into America's Rivers, in the "spirit" of the Boston Tea Party of 1773. Grassroots efforts like these do nothing for Americans these days like they did back then. Britain was impressed and affected by our dumping of tea, and viola, no more tea tax. 236 years later, and no longer under British political control, American's must come up with more effective ways to protest the government.
No I don't have a solution to the problem. No I don't have a better idea. No, I don't even know the name of the Vice President without Googling him. But I do know that with this whole "Tea Party Movement," we Americans are appearing immature and childish, which will only make our government feel more in power/control.
If you feel THAT strongly about something, protest it like a real adult: get out there and start a riot!
(Disclaimer: That last sentence was completely a joke. The rest of this post was not.)
UPDATE: I have to admit, after hearing that some states are "pert-near" threatening to secede from the Union, I feel that finally someone has gotten the idea of how to play with the big dogs. This has to be the Fed's biggest fear (IMO) and it may just be the leverage needed to stop the government in it's tracks. We don't want no Civil War part II, now do we boys? :) That being said, I also find it very sad that it's even a remote possibility that we could no longer be the United States of America. Scary even...
