Teabagging - A Lesson in Misused Symbolism Part II

So what's the complaint anyway? I mean, we've established that the government isn't going to raise taxes on most of its citizens, so what's causing all of this ruckus? One of the major websites for Tea Party related information has the following to say about why you should show up and teabag:

Now, most of these items could generally be considered to be directly tax-related. But in order for people to have a Tea Party (or some version thereof) one must at first be forced to pay higher taxes, and those taxes must come at a time when the people’s ability to find reprieve from the government has been curtailed by some federal policy (or even state policy). Considering the fact that, according to Peter Orszag, we are simply returning to tax brackets as they were at the end of the Bush 41’s term (I think that I’ve got my time frame straight there, but it’s best you do your homework and watch the interview linked in the previous sentence to make sure), we're not really seeing anything too drastic here. Considering the fact that the citizens of this country still have the ability to petition their government for change, I'd say that representation in the Legislative branch is still as hoppin' as it's always been. And to use a Tea Party to oppose abortion, illegal immigration, unions, universal healthcare, and a department of Justice appointee seems, well, goddamned idiotic.

Now, if your complaint is that you don’t want your taxes to fund things that you do not agree with politically, I suggest that you shut your mouth, for a couple of very good reasons. First and foremost, you have as much of a right to complain about President Obama as I have to complain about how all you want to do is teabag everything. But, whereas you must have no idea what you are doing nor what you are complaining about considering the fact that your method of expression is a misappropriated form of revolutionary symbolism, and I know exactly what I’m complaining about because it’s you and your ridiculous misappropriation of revolutionary symbolism, you must first find the necessary means to air your complaint with our Federal Government so that your message will be both understood and not sound as pathetically Lilliputian as it really is. Every time a political party gets put out of power we hear the same whining and complaining. Well, guess what, when your party wins elections, you get to do the things you want to do, because you won. When you lose, then you have to scramble around doing your damnedest to throw a monkey wrench in the opposing parties plans and hope that the people who fucked your party over in the last election get fired, change their strategy, or quietly resign and fade away into media purgatory, better known as “guest political consultant” on CNN/MSNBC/Fox “NEWS”/whatever 24-hour cycle.

Since the Democrats won, they get to do what they want. That's Democracy baby!! And since they won the Executive and Legislative branches, they get to try new things that they have been thinking about doing since Republicans decided they wanted to hand our economy over to a bunch of high-fiving frat boys. We obviously canâ??t trust private enterprise to do the job for us, so why shouldnâ??t we let the government have a hand at it. At least I can vote those bastards out of office, or move to Guam, which is still an American territory, but thatâ??s okay given that Guam doesnâ??t give a shit what happens here, pretty much at all, because itâ??s a beautiful Pacific Island.
