TEA Party vs. OCCUPY WALL STREET OWS

Much has been said about the differences between the TEA Party and the whiny OWS sorts. There are the obvious and glaring differences in maturity levels of the respective participants: compare the number of arrests (700 in one night, at the Brooklyn Bridge); the cleanliness of the rallies (the TEA Party has never felt the need to 'occupy' someone else's park or beshit police cars); and especially note the driving desires behind the movements: OWS people spout ritualistic class envy and seem to bleed green with greed. These low-class emotions are perhaps spurred on by having a 'Community Organizer'-in-Chief whose permanent campaign seems to ooze class warfare. The TEA Party's principle desire is to salvage and reclaim that perfectly well-written and still-workable Constitution.

Another huge difference is that the TEA Party realizes that our Government, and both parties that make up the essence of it, are (for a lack of a better descriptor) corrupt. And, it's much too large, growing larger by the minute; the OWS kids would accelerate that growth rate even more (substitute blowup daddy figure?).

We of the TEA Party believe the Federal system of government needs to shrink back in size to more acceptable and Constitutional levels; the various States need to become more independent, with naturally differing localized polities. So that California and New York, if they want to be bastions of the far-Left, can be walked away from by individuals who don't want to be so far-Left, to states like Texas and other less 'progressive states' that can be easily identified as such. Voting with one's feet, as it were (which is happening: missing a few productive citizens, NYC?).

We don't need to be federally homogenized to Federal standards, at least not as much as we're becoming. I never want to be a New Yorker, for instance; nor a Californian. But if you do? fine; you can keep your desire to be and act as nice progressives right there in NY and CA. Shit your own bed, Los Angeles and New York and Detroit and Chicago and all the other overpopulated 'burgs that just happen to be Democratic and far-Left (and eat up with the OWS crowds).

But please, just don't try as hard to extend your LeftLibProgg - liberalism so far beyond your ruined State's borders, using the overwhelming powers of a vast, monstrous and corrupt Federal system.

Any Questions ?
