Tea Party Corporate Shills

It’s time for the working Americans to stand up and fight for what is right: a living wage. It is time for shareholders to take a backseat to those that toil; down with these vampires that effortlessly reap the benefits of backbreaking work. It is revolting to see that the pendulum has swung so far to the right that too many worker rights, which were won in the fifties and sixties are being lost, and today’s workers are being attacked for wanting job security, health benefits and a livelihood that keeps pace with inflation. 

Tea Party Corporate Shills lead the charge against American workers pushing the following obscene ideas: keep the working class in fear for their job, and make sure they are struggling financially, so they are thankful for what little is thrown their way. If you are a working stiff, make way for the big dog or you’ll be run over by one of these self-righteous, evangelical, libertarian goons who are out only for themselves at the cost of everything that makes America great.

What is so grotesque and repulsive is the fact that right-wing, conservatives aka Tea Party Thugs use radio and television shills to act as if they have no rights in this country while they deny economic equitability to working Americans. When it comes to satisfying their baser needs and desires (excessive profits at the expense of their employees), they act like henny penny and cry that the sky is falling because they don’t get everything that they want, and pretend that their profits are being whittled away by the competition all the while stealing from their employees and lining their corporate pockets. As they are doing this, these same crooks take their corporate holding off-shore so that they don’t have to pay taxes to help with the maintenance of the concrete and virtual infrastructure of our country.

If that is not bad enough, these conservative, media collaborators spread outrageous lies about the lack of religious freedom and the moral decay of America, furthermore, these same “morally superior” Christian broadcasters push the idea of a new crusade and demand America put more boots on the ground in the Middle East to destroy the infidels. Moreover, these same people believe that their religious superiority gives them the right to exploit their fellow Americans for their own personal financial gain in the name of their god all the while praising that lying, drug addict Rush Limbaugh for his misogynist rants.

If you’re crying wolf on the radio, publishing books reminiscing about the good old days, and running televisions networks dedicated to the dispersal of half-truths and complete lies how are your freedoms being curtailed? Those suppositions are merely subterfuge so that these con-artists can profit from using misinformation to prop up their fiefdoms and falsehoods to the American working men and women. The most irritating aspect of these alligator tears is that it is all about control and domination, and sad to say too many hard working Americans are buying what these Tea Party Conspirators are selling.

This need for unfettered power is based on the idea that these people believe they know what is best for America, and that the rest of us need to shut the hell up, bend to their will, and when that happens, then, America will return to its true course. Read the book The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power by Jeff Sharlet to clearly understand the inner workings and politics behind these conservative Tea Party evangelists.

Until Americans wake up to the perversions that these Tea Party liars are perpetuating, there is no way to stop this landslide of greed and cronyism.  We are witnessing the resurgence of the ugly side of capitalism, and I am sorry to say that there is no Teddy Roosevelt to take on the corporatists that are funding the political hijinks that we call Congress, moreover, the only grievance they will redress are those brought to them by the money changers.
