Teabaggers are upset that gov should serve "us".
How they prove that Gov is serving them, is that those charged with representing all of us, cut off all the unemployed, outsourced, disabled, naturally disastered, orphaned and poor, and stop representing them. And instead, pay only attention to the narcissistic well represented, comfortable, right colored insular minority. Or, they just might murder us all.

Anyone else think this is insane?

5. Actually, Teabaggers are not what I would call Society's Winners.....
Disgusting Hypocrites - YES - but not people who would merit a Congressperson's attention - unless they're throwing bricks.

Teabaggers seem to me to be nearly as poor and dispossessed as those they despise..

6. I think you will find, they all have homes, most, some land, and
set up well enough, to feel they have something to protect.

7. They're not protecting anything
They're just fucking peasants as far as I can see......

Peasants on Medicare, Social Security and/or Unemployment

Peasants who are really really pissed off that the President looks like someone they once could always feel superior to.

Peasants who are really pissed off that Blue Collar work doesn't pay much anymore

8. Look Around AH
This country was built by peasants. People who worked hard to get a piece, however small of the action. Quit looking down your elitists nose.

10. I come from those Peasants
Farmers, Steel Workers, Railroad Workers.....

I'm not looking down on the Working Class....the Teabaggers are being played like a cheap violin by people that are making them think THEY are the REAL Americans, that THEY are somehow better than the Educated, the Brown, the Black, the whoever the hell is not the same as their noble stock......but the Teabaggers are, even as they go about their screaming irrational nonsense, still the same "peasants" as the Educated, the Brown, the Black etc.........


When you stop valuing work over wealth, you start your decline....we're thirty years into it, thanks Uncle Ronnie.

11. He was paraphrasing John Lennon there, I believe.
Edited on Sun Mar-28-10 09:41 AM by Lyric
I don't think his comment was meant as a slam to the working class--the "fucking peasants" line is from "Working Class Hero". I think the underlying point is that to the rich, we're ALL peasants. We think we're special and blessed, but to those with wealth and power, we're nothing--Teabagger or not.
