The Tea Party movement is not perfect, not coherent, not coalescing around a personality and not yet coopted by the Republican party. That is precisely its appeal. The parties, both of them, have failed us. Democrats progressively smother us under a socialist pillow. Republicans, the Neo-Cons that have highjacked the party, are willing accomplices as long as their goals are furthered. We need a third way, a rejection of the unholy union of business and government and of the wholesale theft from those who can so those who can’t or won’t are placated. Both parties decimate the middle class with socialism for big business and socialism for the understrata of society, a group which is getting larger and larger due to changing definitions. We must reject all socialism, no matter how warm and fuzzy. The Tea Party lets Middle America, the forgotten majority, to speak up.
