I will never forgive our fascist overlords for turning something impolite and homo-erotic into the sullied and despicable by lying to the more ignorant and huddled of the masses.

In the late 1970s, tea-bagging was a sex act between to consenting (usually both males) adults. In the mid 2000s, video games and pro-wrestling turned tea-bagging into an insult over the defeated. Now the corporate media and ultra-right wing-nuts have flipped the Boston Tea Party (a populous uprising against corporate tax breaks created by royal stockholders for their own company East Indies ) into defending cartel profits by those with IQs under the 50th percentile.

In 1932 Benito Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile coined the concept 'Fascism' to describe the fusion of the state and the corporate. Through the championed processes of deregulation and out-sourcing, America is experiencing a similar deconstruction of our democratic republic and its replacement by a corporate-sponsored oligarchy. I wholeheartedly suggest digging up a copy of Thom Hartmann's "Unequal Protection" for some light reading. The mercantilism practiced by the British during the American Colonial period and Thatcherism/Reaganism are truer representations of the current situation. Although the Blackwater/Xe bullshit gives me pause . . .

Unfortunately, the tactics presently being employed by the 'Tea-Baggers' being activated by Dick Army's Health Insurance Industry financed Astroturf campaign are directly mimicking early tactics recorded in William L. Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich".
