They don't trust government. They don't trust politicians. They don't trust science or scientists. They don't even trust an official birth certificates when they the issuing state provides a photocopy.

You know who I'm talking about. So exactly how do this growing movement, broadly described by the moniker, Tea Party, intend to govern, should they get their way? Like all radical far left or far right populist movements through out history, they don't even trust one another, at least not entirely.

Maybe the core question should be this: are they even angry about the right things at all?

For example, You'll find no shortage of signs at Tea Party events condemning Obama, Pelosi and the IRS and government in general. But you will see no banners condemning this:

"JP Morgan Chase made $12 BILLION in profit in 2009, as a direct result of our tax money - yes, I need to keep repeating this fact. These are profits that would not exist if it weren't for our tax dollars....Now comes news that JP Morgan is on the verge of getting a $1.4 BILLION tax refund! Yes, you heard me right, a $1.4 BILLION TAX REFUND.

But JP is not alone in this latest theft. In total, the financial terrorists are due to receive $33 BILLION IN TAX REFUNDS!" [Full article]

Hmmm. Haven't heard Sarah Palin screeching about any of that. Why not? It pisses me off. It pisses you off. But not a single "you betcha" out of Little Ms. (made-$12 million-this-year)"Populist."

Another thing you won't hear at Tea Party rallies is anything about the growing disparity between the have's (who would have the average Tea Partier arrested on sight if caught roaming around their estates) and the have nots.

I still hold to the notion that they are racists--racists who are Hitler's wannabes wanting to continue his agenda.
