1. Never made the claim gay people use the term at all, just those of us who support their rights should be the last ones to use it as an insult, period.
2. You don't know much about history, they are essentially the same thing, and the Tea Parties are pretty much over, just remembered as well as the Boston Tea Party, which was the whole point they wanted to make in the first place. There are a lot of similarities if you actually look at them.
The third party, the new party that will likely be an anti-party just to tell the two major ones "**** you" fits the Tea Party name very well, it's a small group of dissenters fighting against a large super power that has ruled ruthlessly for too long.
1.) Teabagging is not a male only thing, for the record. I'm not sure where you're getting that idea from.
2.) They're the same in some ways obviously, but the situations are completely different. Trying to say Pre-1776 Colonial America and 2009 with Barack Obama as POTUS are the same thing is insanity.
The Tea Party people are pissed off they lost the election, I highly doubt this would of gone down had McCain/Palin won.
I loved the quote from the movie The Dark Knight, "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
That is what this new party will be like. While in theory, it sounds nice, it has to be funded somehow to be viable. Even if those small group of dissenters somehow get into office, they will quickly forget where they come from and become those people who rule ruthlessly for too long. Then the cycle and circle of life goes on with the other group being the oppressed.
The same shit happens everytime the Democrats and Republicans win or lose a general election. I remember everybody said Liberalism was dead after 2004, well Obama was elected on a more Liberalism agenda though he has turned his back on it now. Now people are saying that the GOP is on the ropes. Now that could be true, or complete bullshit.
However, it is my theory that within the next 50 years, the GOP will split apart with the religious people on one side in the GOP or a new party with the actual Conservatives on the other side. As much as we would like to delude ourselves that a small group of dissenters could get into power and truly change things, the status quo will stay the same.
