Is The Party Over?

Not yet, but this group is far from being close to popular.  Reminds me of the satirical song "There's a party in my pants and we want you all to come".

This website promotes the anti-tea party.  On the first page there are the pictures of three conservative activists, giving their phone numbers and suggesting they end their support of the Tea Party movement.

These men the site targets are:

• Randy Hultgren: Who sponsored a health care bill, that includes in quotes "will kill people". It is possible that such words were used, I am going to find the bill and study before rendering opinion.  I would ask, is this one of the health care proposals that the dimocrats keep claiming have not been offered as alternative to Obamacare? 
• Arie Friedman: Who advocates eliminating Meidcaid and has the audacity to doubt the "proven science of global warming".  Hey jackass, GLOBAL WARMING is not proven, it is based on fraudulent data manipulation.  The reason you cling to this notion is that it fits the progressive self-loathing deconstructionist teachings of your priozed government education  The same education, I might add, that provided no understanding scientific peer review and the lack thereof.
• David McAloon: Who is pro-life and pro-gun.  These are described as dangerous ideas, last time I checked, gun ownership is protected by the second ammendment.  And the pro-life stance, well it's his right to disagree with current law, as long as he acts lawfully.

The mission statment of the website is.....

To prevent the Tea Party's dangerous ideas from gaining legislative traction.

The objective of this group is....

Our Strategy is simple. This movement is a fad. Some of their ideas include the belief that programs like Social Security and Medicare are socialistic and should never have been created in the first place and that President Obama is a Socialist. Other ideas include undermining the legitimacy of the federal government in favor of a radical rightwing form of state’s rights. We need to prevent their dangerous ideas from gaining a legislative foothold. So our strategy is to spread the truth about their dangerous ideas and prevent their policies from taking root in America.

Let's see. The movement is a fad. The party may be a fad or even short lived, but the causes for the are fear of bourgening debt, and fear of the construction of an institutionalized dependent majority.  Depencies on government redistribution of wealth will eventually create enough drag on the productive capacity of the country so as to reduce the mean standard of living for the whole.  The main populace my not understand my weak description, but they all understand the problem intutively.  You can't spend more than you make without eventually paying the difference.  Unsupported governemnt growth cannot be factored away by inflation or increasing the money supply.

Social Security and Medicare are socialist policies, that is a fact. It is also a fact that these programs have helped many people over many decades.  The current complaint now is not so much that they exist, but their growth being unrestrained.  As and aside, I don't mean inflationary growth, I mean growth of scope.  The missions statements of those programs have long been forgotten.

Undermining federal dominance in favor over states rights is definitely an objective of tea baggers.  This is because citizens recognize that state goverments are better tied to citizens by their proximity and more appropriately respond to local pressure.  The balance between state and federal goes back to the framing of the Constitution, in arguments between Hamilton and Jefferson.  Hamilton's efforts were somewhat thwarted by Jefferson, thus the development of the Federalist Papers which explain the authors intents and fears.  This issue includes the Whiskey Rebellion, and the Civil War.  Since the Civil War, the Federal position has slowly gained dominance, the coup de grace being Roosevelt's New Deal in which many Constitutional barriers were ignored for the creation of progressive programs. This fight is not dangerous, but it is unending, and frankly, the progressives are winning.  This is an effort to keep the loser down.

Visit the site, try to figure out a way to make their life unpleasant, that is exactly what they are suggesting by targeting patriotic citizens.
