Rant No. 1. In February, 2009, a CNBC commentator named Rick Santelli gave birth to the name for the then simmering movement of citizens who believed that we had a government gone wild. That name came from his rant “We’re thinkin’ about having a Chicago tea party in July.” No cursing, no threats; just voicing the belief of many fellow citizens that no one in our government has any idea of what the real world is all about.

This crystallized the picture in the minds of hundreds of thousands across the nation who responded with tea party rallies within weeks of Santelli’s rant.

1. I didn't forget

Nor did I forget that it wasnt' as spontaneous as we were led to believe.

But if it's one thing cons are great at, it's re writing history.

in hindsight.

2. I remember it well.

To anyone paying attention it was obviously astroturf.

4. Forgot how soon the Tea Baggers were off and running...

Wonder if we can ever get back a day when news media will EVER be honest.

Probably not while I'm still alive!

6. Santelli's outrage has been "Selective"

But phony outrage is one of the few things these guys are good at.

8. Florida's Tea Party started long before that

And if I remember correctly, someone had registered the Tea Party website name (I don't remember exactly what URL it was) long before Rick Santelli started his crap.

11. I call them "Teatalitarians"

The Founding Fathers would have taken a giant dump on their heads and yet they act like they own Jefferson and Madison.
