Tea Party vs Coffee Party vs Cider Party?
Do you think that calling someone a tea party activist is a condescending insult? For example,
"He is like a Tea Party activist yelling all the right words."
"Tea Party is a cursory expression of what happened in Boston that day. The actual underlying activity was the Apple Cider Party that happened afterwards which then became the actual catalyst to the American Revolution. The American rebels threw all the tea overboard but brought home all the apple cider over which they discussed revolutionary plans."
Tea was important to the British but apple cider was important to the Americans. On the surface, the Boston tea party seemed to be provoked by the British Parliament's 1773 Tea Act. But the actual provocative issue was that the British restricted the Americans from brewing our favorite beverage at that time and Americans had to drink apple cider imported from England in pubs or else moonshine them at home.
Tea partying addresses the irrelevant issues (the 1773 Tea Act and Americans at that time did not like tea at all), whereas apple cider partying addresses the underlying core issues - the real issues.
Do you think Tea Partyers today just yell the right words but not address the relevant issues?
Don't you think we need more of apple cider activism?

Tea party, coffee party, apple cider, it does not matter, it matters that the government takes notice and starts listening to the people and starts to serve the people.
The Tea party seems to be effective as long as there is no violence the government can not label them as radicals and discredit them.
About time people are voicing there opinions and calling for the government to listen, if the government keeps on the way they are doing the Tea party may turn into a lynching party.

Tea party gets an awful lot of attention from the white house and the speaker not to mention all of the libs in this country for a group that is as you say irrelevant.
The tea parties address the right issues, but unfortunately, you would only know that if you actually attend a tea party.
The media, and the whitehouse have turned it into something it is not.
I am still amazed about that day last March when tens of thousands of protestors were gathered in DC, begging the government not to go through with taking over our healthcare, but the big story of the day to the media and to the politicians was the unsubsantiated claim that some guy spit on a black congressman. Now that is pathetic on the part of those supposedly reporting the news, and our politicians
Just what are these core issues that you think the tea party is not addressing?

I think the politicians that aren't ON-BOARD with what the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS have been talking about - are going to be drawing a little UNEMPLOYMENT of their own.
That's what I think.
